Hollysys Automation Technologies, Ltd.  (NASDAQ: HOLI) ("Hollysys" or the "Company"), a leading provider of automation and control technologies and applications in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2011 (see attached tables).

Dr. Changli Wang, Chairman and CEO of Hollysys, stated: "We are very pleased to report another stellar quarter with solid financial and operational performance. Here I would like to take this opportunity to discuss some key events that took place in this quarter:

"In our industrial automation business, we are glad to see some of our strategic measures we put in one year or two years ago starting to pay off evidenced by unprecedented quarterly growth at 65% on year-on-year basis. It was our strategic decision of increasing R&D investment back to January 2009 amidst the height of financial crises that a series of our proprietary products have been churned out and pushed to the market that rounded out our industrial product portfolio and enabled Hollysys to position itself as a total solution provider. Envisioning the secular trend of dramatic increased adoption of industrial automation in China, we aggressively expanded our industrial sales force and sales and service network between July and December 2010, resulting in sales force growing from 150 to 500 and geographic coverage expanded from 21 to 40 cities across China. Hollysys has been a foreign system substitute in this sector, leveraging on its better value for money proposition to a wide array of industrial clients ranging from state-owned-enterprises, multinational corporations, and local small and medium sized companies. Over the past 16 years, we have been successfully entered, penetrated, and took leadership from low-end to mid-end market segments, and we are now chasing our multination peers to the high-end segment, while we will continue to expand our sales force and network coverage consolidating the low-end to mid-end markets, in order to become the absolute leader in Chinese industrial market.

"In our rail transportation segment, there has been some encouraging news over the past month for China's high-speed rail segment, which may have indicated a new page has been turned in this sector. Chinese government issued an official statement recently that "all rail related debt offering is backed and supported by the government" and the Ministry of Finance went as far as granting a tax holiday to all debt holders of Ministry of Rail (MOR) for 50% deduction on interest income tax. With the government coming up to support MOR's debt issuance, MOR has successfully raised 40 billion RMB and there was another 200 billion RMB financing believed to be in the works, which means that MOR's financing issue is largely resolved for now. There is 13,000 km of high-speed rail tracks currently under construction, which will require signaling system to be installed prior to commercial operation. We are cautiously optimistic on continuous revenue generation from China's high-speed rail segment for the next few years.

"Hollysys was blessed to have been playing a leading role in China's high-speed rail signaling market in which we obtained the key capability in signaling technology and know-how. To be determined to become one of the leading international signaling players, Hollysys have been investing significant resources in developing the whole set of signaling products for both High-speed rail and subway according to European Safety Standard. We have obtained European Safety Standard Certification Level 4 (SIL 4) for our proprietary signaling products, such as ATP for 200-250 km/h segment, Balise Transmission Module (BTM), Line-side Electronic Unit (LEU), temporary train control system (TSRS), and Vital Computer platform (HVC) enabling various signaling related applications to be developed in a scalable and swift manner. We have also completed development of train control center (TCC) and interlocking system base on our proprietary HVC and will receive SIL 4 certification for these pertaining products in the next few months. We are working on propelling our high-speed rail signaling business on dual engines of both Chinese and international market going forward.

"From this quarter on, our financial reporting would include the financial performance of Concord Corporation Pte Ltd. (CCPL) on consolidated basis. We are satisfied with its quarterly results given the delay of some sizable contracts in subway and industrial sectors totaling to more than USD 10 million. During this quarter, we made substantial progress in integrating our businesses and product lines for international market, which is spearheaded by Casey Liu, CCPL CEO, and Jay Naidu, CCPL Executive VP, who have years of technical and corporate management experiences with GE Industrial Automation, Thales Transportation, Bombardier Transportation, and Land Transport Authority of Singapore. Hollysys and CCPL have already been working together on some of the signaling and SCADA opportunities in south-eastern Asian market, which we believe would prelude Hollysys' entry to international market of its proprietary products.

"It is worth noting that Hollysys management completed the stock purchase plan of US$ 7.5 million with 1.26 million shares purchased on open market this quarter, which was a strong indication of our collective confidence in Hollysys' business fundamentals and growth prospects."

Starting from this quarter, the integrated revenue is presented in slightly different break-down manner from the previous earnings releases, to better reflect our business model and strategy going forward, in which the previously segregated category of nuclear is lumped together with industrial automation and the categories of rail automation and subway automation previously reported separately are lumped together under rail transportation. The overseas category reflects the revenue from newly acquired Singaporean company. The industrial automation revenue of 53.0 million is consisted of industrial automation revenue of 51.8 million and nuclear revenue of 1.2 million in previous break-down categories. And the rail transportation revenue of 25.4 million is consisted of high-speed rail revenue of 16.4 million and subway automation revenue of 9.0 million.

As a percentage of total revenues, overall gross margin was 37.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 34.8% for the same period of last year. The gross margin for integrated contracts and product sales were 36.6% and 64.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 33.6% and 55.6% for the same period of last year respectively. The gross margin increase was mainly due to higher gross margin in rail businesses, as a result of a few higher margin projects or portion of projects of high-speed rail being recognized in the quarter.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, selling expenses were $7.0 million, compared to $6.2 million quarter over quarter, and $3.6 million year over year. The increase was mainly due to the Company's expanded sales network and increased selling staffs.  As a percentage of total revenues, selling expenses were 8.0% compared to 8.6% quarter over quarter, and 5.9% year over year.

General and administrative expenses, excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense, were $4.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of $1.1 million, or 27.8%, as compared to $3.8 million for the same period of prior year. The increase was mainly contributed by the newly acquired Singaporean subsidiary. As a percentage of total revenues, G&A expenses were 5.6% and 6.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Including the non-cash stock compensation cost recorded on a GAAP basis, G&A expenses were $5.0 million and $3.9 million for three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Research and development expenses were $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $4.3 million for the same period of last year, increased by $1.7 million, or 40.3%, mainly due to the Company's increased R&D activities. As a percentage of total revenue, R&D expenses were 7.0% and 7.1% for three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The income tax expenses were $1.9 million the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $1.9 million for the prior year period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the non-GAAP net income excluding non-cash stock compensation cost was $12.8 million or $0.23 per diluted share based on 55 million shares outstanding. This represents an increase of $2.4 million, or 23.6%, over the $10.4 million, or $0.19 per share based on 55 million shares outstanding, reported in the prior year period. On a GAAP basis, net income attributable to Hollysys was $12.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share representing an increase of $0.04, or 22.8%, over the $10.3 million, or $0.19 per share reported in the prior year period.

Hollysys' backlog as of September 30, 2011 was $300.1 million, compared to $296.4 million on June 30, 2011, and $255.3 million on September 30, 2010. The detailed breakdown of the backlog by segment is as followings:

Cash Flow Highlights

The net cash used in operating activities was $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, mainly due to increased billed accounts receivables. Including investing and financing activities, the total net cash outflow for this quarter was $13.2 million, mainly due to a cash outflow of $5.4 million for acquisition of Concord Group and a cash outflow of 8.3 million dividend paid to the ex-shareholders of Concord.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of September 30, 2011, Hollysys' cash and cash equivalents were $75.5 million, compared to $90.7 million on June 30, 2011.
