Orsus Xelent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE Amex:
ORS), a designer and manufacturer of award-winning mobile phones
for the Asian market, today announced results for its 2010 second
quarter and first half ended June 30, 2010. Revenues in this year's
second quarter decreased significantly year over year from $23.33
million to $6.4 million. This resulted in a net loss in the quarter
of $(248,000), compared with net income of $2.48 million or $0.08
per share in the second quarter last year.
In the first six months of 2010, revenues declined from $43.05
million to $14.06 million year over year, which produced a net loss
of $(702,000) or $(0.02) per share in this year's first half,
compared with net income of $4.68 million or $0.15 per share in the
first half last year.
The Company noted that the operating scenario in the second
quarter this year mirrored on a larger scale the pattern of the
past several quarters, which reflect the changes in China's telecom
market resulting from the restructuring of the industry and lagging
effects of the financial crisis. These have shifted the attention
of phone manufacturers to the faster growing but much more
competitive rural markets. For the Company, this has meant a loss
of higher margin business, such as its special application
handsets, and a need to compete with lower cost, low margin
handsets in carefully selected markets.
According to Mr. Guoji Liu, CEO, "We have had only limited
success based on the popularity in particular of our full-featured,
modestly priced DX9188, which represented 62% of second quarter
sales. We continue to look for an improvement in the market
situation later this year, stimulated in particular by the
introduction of 3-G phones. We are prepared to sell higher margin
Company designed 3-G handsets as that market develops, and also see
potential for the special application phones which were the
Company's hallmark before the shakeup in the industry."
Long Aged Accounts Receivable
Mr. Liu noted further, "Unfortunately, we meanwhile continue to
be severely squeezed by the situation with respect to our very
large accounts receivable from our major distributor. While we rely
on this distributor for sales of most of our products, and have a
good working relationship in this regard, our limited cash
necessitates financing to develop alternatives in what is still a
difficult financing environment." He added, "With a belief that our
distributor is emerging from its own difficulties engendered by the
current marketplace, and with the backing of a Credit Guarantee
Contract issued by a third party for long aged receivables should
this not be the case, we continue to be optimistic that we can
consummate a financeable transaction that will revitalize the
Company."
Mr. Liu concluded, "While these issues have created a difficult
experience for the Company and its shareholders, we are resolute
that a favorable outcome is within our sights, and are continuing
to work very hard to achieve this as quickly as circumstances
permit."
