Second-Quarter 2012 Results
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2012, revenues were $31.4 million, a 14.8% decrease from $36.9 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in revenue was driven primarily by a 13.2% decrease in transportation revenue, mainly due to fluctuations in the progress of existing contracts and execution in the ITS business. Revenue from products and applications in the transportation business sector was $29.8 million, or 94.9% of total revenue, compared to $34.3 million, or 93.1% of total revenue, in the year-ago quarter. The remainder of revenue derived from other business categories.
Gross profit decreased 7.2% to $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2012, as compared to $10.6 million in the year-ago quarter. The modest decrease was attributed to the decrease in net sales of our ITS business. However, the gross margin in the second quarter of 2012 increased to 31.3% from 28.7% in the year-ago quarter, mainly due to higher-margin transportation projects executed during the quarter versus the year-ago quarter, owing to improvements in hardware purchasing practice and labor management associated with these projects.
Selling expenses were $1.3 million, as compared to $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2011, mainly due to our enhanced efforts in bidding for new contracts. General and administrative expenses were $6.1 million, as compared to $6.4 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales-related bonus payments. Total operating expenses rose 0.6% to $7.4 million from the year-ago quarter. Operating income decreased 25.4% to $2.4 million from $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2011.
In the second quarter, subsidy income was $0.8 million, as compared to $0.06 million in the year-ago quarter.
Net income decreased 15.6% to $2.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $2.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted net income, which excludes $0.25 million in non-cash, stock-based compensation expense and $0.01 million in intangible amortization expense from acquisitions, decreased 16.5% to $2.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to $3.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the comparable period of 2011(*). Weighted average diluted shares outstanding increased to 25,320,592 shares from 25,273,195 shares in the year-ago quarter.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
GAAP results for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 include non-cash share based compensation and amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions. To supplement the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, the Company has provided non-GAAP financial information, which are adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, excluding the impact of these items in this release. The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with a better understanding of how the results relate to the Company’s historical performance. The additional adjusted information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financials. The adjusted financial information that the Company provides also may differ from the adjusted information provided by other companies. Management believes that these adjusted financial measures are useful to investors because they exclude non-cash expenses that management excludes when it internally evaluates the performance of the Company’s business and makes operating decisions, including internal budgeting, and performance measurement, as these measures provide a consistent method of comparison to historical periods. As a result, the provision of these adjusted measures allows investors to evaluate the Company’s performance using the same methodology and information as that used by the Company’s management. Moreover, management believes that these adjusted measures reflect the essential operating activities of the Company. Non-GAAP measures are subject to inherent limitations because they do not include all of the expenses included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment of which charges are excluded from the adjusted financial measure. However, the Company’s management compensates for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of the items excluded. A reconciliation of adjustments to GAAP results appears in Table 1 below.
