Excluding amortization of acquired technology, gross profit for the first quarter of 2008 would have been RMB8.6 million (US$1.2 million), an increase of 130.9% from the first quarter of 2007. -- Gross margin for the first quarter of 2008 decreased to 33.6% from 49.2% in the first quarter of 2007. Excluding amortization of acquired technology, gross margin for the first quarter of 2008 would have been 61.2%, compared to 51.1% in the first quarter of 2007. -- Net loss for the first quarter of 2008 was RMB9.2 million (US$1.3 million), an increase of 658.2% over the first quarter of 2007. "We are pleased to report strong top-line growth in a traditionally weak first fiscal quarter that includes the long Chinese New Year holiday and this year was marked by severe snow storms across large parts of China. With a strong start to 2008, we are optimistic about our prospects and our earnings per share for the full year," said Mr. Adam Yan, eFuture's chairman and chief executive officer. "In addition, a larger base of installed clients contributed to strong organic growth. Service revenue was up 241.6%, the strongest growth of any quarter in ten years, with software revenue growth remaining solid. Moreover, we have strengthened our position and significantly broadened our opportunity in the fast-growing retail market in China with the successful integration of our Guangzhou Royalstone acquisition. Looking forward to the remainder of 2008, we expect that our B2B services, including http://www.bfuture.com.cn/ and http://www.jindian.com.cn/, will begin to contribute to our revenue and drive value for retailers and their suppliers." First Quarter of 2008 Operational Highlights -- Sales contracts in the first quarter of 2008 increased 102.5% to RMB18.0 million (US$2.6 million) from RMB8.8 in the first quarter of 2007. -- Service sales contracts in first quarter of 2008 increased 662.8% to RMB8.6 million (US$1.2 million) from RMB1.13 million in the first quarter of 2007. -- Total new orders increased 350% to 117 orders from 26 in the first quarter of 2007. "During the first quarter, we placed particular emphasis on integrating our acquisitions completed in 2007 into a single platform," Mr. Yan continued. "We worked to smoothly incorporate culture, strengthen back-office resource integration and improve processes to streamline internal operations and reduce software deployment costs. This organic growth strategy has translated into a 12% increase in gross margins, excluding amortization of acquired technology." As part of its effort to streamline its operations to promote organic growth, the company organized its software business according to six vertical strategy business areas: small and medium business, key accounts, department stores and shopping malls, grocery and supermarkets, specialty stores and fast-moving consumer goods. Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2008 Revenue eFuture reported total revenue of RMB14.0 million (US$2.0 million) for the first quarter of 2008, a 92.8% increase from RMB7.3 million in the first quarter of 2007. Software sales in the first quarter of 2008 increased 33.5% to RMB7.6 million (US$1.1 million) from RMB5.7 million in the first quarter of 2007. Software sales contributed 54.0% to total revenue in the first quarter of 2008, compared to 78.0% in the first quarter of 2007. Hardware sales in the first quarter of 2008 increased 1020% to RMB1.4 million (US$0.2 million) from RMB0.1 million in the first quarter of 2007. Hardware sales contributed 10.1% to total revenue in the first quarter of 2008, compared to 1.7% in the first quarter of 2007. Service fee income in the first quarter of 2008 increased 241.6% to RMB5.0 million (US$0.7 million) from RMB1.5 million in the first quarter of 2007. Service fee income contributed 36.0% to total revenue in the first quarter of 2008, compared to 20.3% in the first quarter of 2007. The increase was largely due to eFuture's policy to provide free maintenance for its products in the first year of operation, after which the company begins to charge maintenance and support fees. Gross Margins Gross profit for the first quarter of 2008 was RMB4.7 million (US$0.7 million), a 31.8% increase from RMB3.6 million in the first quarter of 2007. Excluding amortization of acquired technology, gross profit for the first quarter of 2008 would have been RMB8.6 million (US$1.2 million), an increase of 130.8% from the first quarter of 2007. Consolidated gross margin for the first quarter of 2008 was 33.6%, compared to 49.2% in the first quarter of 2007 and 43.5% in the fourth quarter of 2007. The decrease in gross margin was largely due to the amortization of acquired technology of RMB3.8 million (US$0.55 million), which represented 27.5% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2008, compared to 1.9% in the first quarter of 2007. Excluding amortization of acquired technology, gross margin for the first quarter of 2008 would have been 61.2%, compared to 51.1% in the first quarter of 2007. Operating Expenses Research and development expenses in the first quarter increased 37.2 percent year over year to RMB0.2 million (US$24 thousand). The increase in research and development was mainly due to the acquisition of Royalstone last year, which led to the integration of two research and development teams. General and administrative expenses in the first quarter increased 169.7 percent year over year to RMB7.9 million (US$1.1 million). The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to RMB2.3 million (US$0.3 million) of bad debt expenses caused by significantly increased accounts receivable. We had US$2 million of accounts receivable in the first quarter, an 84.9% increase from the same period of 2007.General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2008 were 56.2 percent of total revenues, compared to 40.1 percent in the first quarter of 2007 and 20.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2007. Selling and distribution expenses in the first quarter increased 73.0 percent year over year to RMB3.8 million (US$536 thousand). The increase in selling and distribution expenses was partially due to a significant increase in our sales contracts. Selling and distribution expenses for the first quarter of 2008 were 26.8 percent of total revenues, compared to 29.9 percent in the first quarter of 2007 and 8.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2007. Total share-based compensation expenses in the first quarter of 2008 were RMB0.8 million (US$0.1 million). Operating loss in the first quarter of 2008 was RMB7.1 million (US$1.0 million), a 332.5% increase from RMB1.6 million in the first quarter of 2007. Operating margin was -50.5% in the first quarter of 2008, compared to -22.5% in the first quarter 2007 and 14.1% in the fourth quarter of 2007. Net Income Net loss for the first quarter of 2008 was RMB9.2 million (US$1.3 million), compared to net losses of RMB1.2 million in the first quarter of 2007 and net loss RMB24.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Net margins were -65.8% in the first quarter of 2008 compared to -16.74% in the first quarter of 2007 and -50.6% in the fourth quarter of 2007. The increase in net loss and decrease in net margin was due to a number of factors including amortization of acquired technology from the acquisitions completed in 2007 of RMB3.8 million (US$0.6 million), bad debt expenses of RMB2.4 million (US$0.3 million) as a result of a large increase in accounts receivable at the end of the quarter. Basic and diluted losses per share for the first quarter of 2008 were RMB3.14 (US$0.45) and RMB3.14 (US$0.45), respectively. EBITDA EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2008 was RMB-1.39 million (US$- 0.2 million), a decrease of 101.1% from the first quarter of 2007. First quarter of 2008 adjusted net loss (non-GAAP) was RMB3.2 million (US$0.5 million), an increase of 732% from the first quarter of 2007. Adjusted non-GAAP diluted losses per share for the first quarter of 2008 was RMB1.09 (US$0.16). Cash Flow and Capital Expenditures As of March 31, 2008, the company had RMB59.3 million (US$8.5 million) in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Net cash generated from operating activities and capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2008 were RMB-8.2 million (US$-1.2 million) and RMB2.2 million (US$0.3 million), respectively. As of March 31, 2008 the company had 627 employees compared to 588 employees as of December 31, 2007. Business Outlook for 2008 The company has raised its full-year 2008 total revenue guidance to be in the range of approximately US$19 to US$20 million, representing annual growth of 65 to 74% over 2007. This forecast is a current and preliminary view and is subject to change.

Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the company's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not limited to the following: eFuture's anticipated growth strategies; eFuture's future business development, results of operations and financial condition; expected changes in the company's revenues and certain cost or expense items; eFuture's ability to attract customers and leverage its brand; trends and competition in the software industry; the company's ability to hire, train and retain qualified managerial and other employees; the company's ability to develop new software's and pilot new business model at desirable locations in a timely and cost-effective manner; the expected growth of the Chinese economy software market in retail and consumer goods industries; and Chinese governmental policies relating to private managers and operators of software and applicable tax rates. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in eFuture's annual report on Form 20-F and other documents filed with the SEC. All information provided in this press release and in the attachments is as of June 24, 2008, and the company undertakes no duty to update such information or any other forward-looking information, except as required under applicable law. This announcement contains translations of certain amounts from Chinese Renminbi ("RMB") into U.S. dollars ("US$") at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise noted, all currency translations are made at a rate of RMB7.012 to US$1.00, the effective noon buying rate on March 31, 2008. Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement eFuture's unaudited consolidated financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, eFuture uses the following non-GAAP measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: adjusted EBITDA excluding amortization of acquired software technology, amortization of intangibles, share-based compensation expenses, depreciation, adjusted net income excluding amortization of acquired software technology, amortization of intangibles, share-based compensation expenses and accretion on convertible notes, adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share excluding amortization of acquired software technology, amortization of intangibles, share-based compensation expenses and accretion on convertible notes. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. eFuture believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective or be indicative of its operating performance. eFuture believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the company's performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to eFuture's historical performance and liquidity. eFuture computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. The company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. The accompanying paragraphs have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures. eFuture's management also believes that EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization is a useful financial metric to assess its operating and financial performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions and income taxes. In addition, eFuture's management believes that EBITDA is widely used by other companies in the software industry and may be used by investors as a measure of its financial performance. Given the significant investments that eFuture has made in property, equipment, depreciation and amortization expense comprises a meaningful portion of the company's cost structure. eFuture's management believes that EBITDA will provide investors with a useful tool for comparability between periods because it eliminates depreciation and amortization expense attributable to capital expenditures. The presentation of EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that the company's future results will be unaffected by other charges and gains eFuture considers to be outside the ordinary course of its business. The use of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations. Depreciation and amortization expense for various long-term assets, income tax expense, interest expense and interest income have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of EBITDA. Further, share-based compensation expenses have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of adjusted EBITDA. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of eFuture's financial results. The term EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP, and EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net income, operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. When assessing eFuture's operating and financial performance, you should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for its net income, operating income or any other operating performance measure that is calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the company's EBITDA and adjusted EDITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as eFuture does.
