PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE THREE AND TWELVE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014: -- The acquisition of Inphosoft Group Pte Ltd ("Inphosoft") was completed on September 28, 2012. GINSMS's income statement for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2014 includes the operating results of Inphosoft Group Pte Ltd and its subsidiaries resulting in total revenue of $219,135 and $1,130,787 respectively, compared to $518,678 and $1,302,915 for the corresponding three and twelve months in the previous year. -- Activities for the three-month and twelve months ended March 31, 2014 resulted in a net loss of $994,330 and $2,972,208 respectively, including a non-realized exchange loss of $2,513 and $10,310 respectively and a non-cash charge to earnings of $397,577 and $1,321,854 respectively representing accretion on obligations related to the convertible debentures and promissory notes issued in connection with the acquisition of Inphosoft. The net loss for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 could have been higher if not for the decrease to the contingent consideration of approximately $109,000, resulting from an event that occurred subsequent to the acquisition date, was initially recorded in the Company's September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013 interim financial statements based upon an estimate which was based upon factors available to the Company at the date of interim financial statements. In connection with the year financial statements, the Company obtained a third party appraisal of the debentures. Based on the third-party appraisal, the Company adjusted (increased) the fair value adjustment of the debentures by approximately $72,000 with a related increased in accretion of approximately $64,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

When compared to the previous quarter ended December 31, 2013, traffic was down by 21.0%. This downward trend in SMS traffic is largely caused by cellphone users migrating to mobile instant messaging ("MIM") applications and the removal of bundle fees in the new agreements signed with the mobile network operators that came into effect on the 1st March 2013. -- Liquidity deteriorated considerably with cash on hand of $115,309, down 88.1% from March 31, 2013.

Revenue for the 3 months and 12 months ended March 31, 2014 was $219,135 and $1,130,787 respectively, representing a decrease of 57.8% and 13.2% respectively, compared to $518,678 and $1,302,915 during the corresponding periods the previous year. The increase of 30.8% in revenue from Inphosoft for 12 months to $1,001,428 is mainly due to the inclusion of full 12 months of revenue for the period ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the inclusion of only 6 months of revenue from Inphosoft for the period ended March 31, 2013. However, revenue from Inphosoft for 6 months ended March 31, 2014 declined by 45.4% to $418,288 compared to $765,894 for the 6 months ended March 31, 2013. Revenue generated through its global partner, Acision, has declined significantly from a year ago and is not expected to recover soon. Acision has downsized its global sales team to focus on Acision's core products and places less emphasis on reselling partners' products. This resulted in the reduced demand for the Company's products. Moving forward, the business conditions will remain challenging and the Company has to focus its efforts on other areas in order to create new revenue streams. The Company has since invested heavily in the current quarter in the development of two mobile applications namely the InphoShop series of mobile applications including GoMall and Happy Hours and RightHere Messenger, an Over-The-Top ("OTT") messaging application. The development of the three applications is not completed yet. Revenue from the Company's IOSMS activities, taken separately, declined by 68.7% and 75.9% for the 3 months and 12 months compared to the previous year. The decline in the revenue generated from the IOSMS platform is due to the less favourable terms of the contracts signed with mobile network operators that came into effect on March 1st 2013 as well as a 63.9% drop in the Company's SMS traffic during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to the corresponding quarter the previous year. Revenue from Inphosoft for the 12 months aggregated $1,001,428 is broken down as follows: Professional Services - $544,363 (54.4%), Software License Fees - $49,494 (4.9%), and Support and Maintenance (S&M) -$407,571 (40.7%). The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 amounted to $994,330, compared to a loss of $717,852 during the same quarter the previous year. The loss for the fourth quarter this fiscal year includes a net foreign exchange loss of $2,513 and a non-cash charge to earnings of $397,577 representing accretion on obligations related to the convertible debentures and promissory notes issued in connection with the acquisition of Inphosoft. EBITDA for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2014 amounted to deficit of $622,071 while EBITDA for the corresponding period the previous year showed a deficit of $183,325 These results underline a decline in gross profit with gross income decreasing by 105.6% to negative $20,338 and with a lower gross profit margins hence this translates into a gross margin of -9.3%, compared to 70.3% during the corresponding quarter the previous year. Other than lower revenue generated by the IOSMS platform and the impact the foreign exchange gain have had on the results of the Company for the 12 months ended March 31, 2014, the loss of $2,972,208 reported during the period reflects higher operating expenses. With Inphosoft, salaries and wages jumped by 88.5% to $1,126,503, and general and administrative expenses are up 73.8% to $328,765. However, consultancy fees decreased by 56.8% to $39,407 and professional fees decreased by 49.0% to $330,770. The decline in professional fees reflected the lower legal fees in particular following the completion of the acquisition at the end of the second quarter of the previous year. The consolidation of Inphosoft also resulted in higher amortization charges and accretion costs on convertible debenture and notes payables which amounted to $399,730 and 1,321,854 respectively, compared to $327,092 and $654,904 respectively for the corresponding 12 months the previous year.
