Special Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements

This annual report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

You can identify these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “likely to” or other similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this annual report. These forward-looking statements include:

our future business development, results of operations and financial condition;

expected changes in our net revenues and certain cost or expense items;

our ability to attract and retain customers; and

trends and competition in the enterprise mobile software application market.

You should read this annual report thoroughly with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from, and/or worse, than what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Other sections of this annual report include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

This annual report also contains estimates, projections and statistical data related to the enterprise mobile software and IT services market in China. This market data, including data from IDC, a leading provider of market data and intelligence, speaks as of the date it was published and includes projections that are based on a number of assumptions and are not representations of fact. The enterprise mobile software and IT services market may not grow at the rates projected by the market data, or at all. The failure of the market to grow at the projected rates may materially and adversely affect our business and the market price of our ADSs. In addition, the rapidly changing nature of the software and IT services market subjects any projections or estimates relating to the growth prospects or future condition of our market to significant uncertainties. If any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data proves to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION.

A. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Kingtone Wireless”, “we”, “us”, or “the Company”) and Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd., a PRC limited liability company (“Kingtone Information”), which was incorporated in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, China on December 28, 2001, are under common control from the earliest date presented. On October 27, 2009, we were incorporated with a fiscal year end of November 30, and on December 15, 2009, we consummated a number of related transactions to acquire contractual control of Kingtone Information (the “Reorganization”). The selected financial data are solely those of Kingtone Information for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, and then they are combined with Kingtone Wireless through December 15, 2009, the date of the Reorganization, and they are consolidated with Kingtone Wireless following the date of the Reorganization.

In March 2010, we changed our fiscal year end from November 30 to September 30 to have the same fiscal year end as Kingtone Information. As we and our wholly-owned subsidiaries had no operations from October 1, 2009 to November 30, 2009, except for our initial capitalization and our preparation for our initial public offering, the statement of income and comprehensive income for the year ended September 30, 2009 is the same as those for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009.

The selected financial data for fiscal years 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011 have been derived from our audited consolidated and combined financial statements. The selected consolidated and combined financial data should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the accompanying notes and “Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects.” Our consolidated and combined financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. Our historical results do not necessarily indicate our results expected for any future periods. You should not view our historical results as an indicator of our future performance.

D. RISK FACTORS.

An investment in our ADSs involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below together with all other information contained in this annual report, including the matters discussed under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” before you decide to invest in our ADSs. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in China and are subject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from those of the United States. If any of the following risks, or any other risks and uncertainties that are not presently foreseeable to us, actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and our future growth prospects would be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider all other information contained in this annual report before deciding to invest in our ADSs.

Risks Related to Our Company and Our Industry

If demand for enterprise remote and mobile connectivity does not continue to expand in China, we may experience a shortfall in revenues or earnings or otherwise fail to meet public market expectations.

The growth of our business is dependent, in part, upon the increased migration by enterprises to wireless connectivity services in China and our ability to capture a higher proportion of this market. If the demand in China for enterprise connectivity services does not continue to grow, or grows in ways that do not use our services, then we may not be able to grow our business, maintain our profitability or meet public market expectations. Increased usage of enterprise connectivity services depends on numerous factors, including:

the willingness of enterprises to make additional information technology expenditures;

the availability of security products necessary to ensure data privacy over the public networks;

the quality, cost and functionality of these services and competing services;

the increased adoption of wired and wireless broadband access methods;

the proliferation of electronic devices such as handhelds and smart-phones and related applications; and

the willingness of enterprises to invest in our services during the current world-wide economic crisis.

We face intense competition from other software development and IT service companies and, if we are unable to compete effectively, we may lose customers and our revenues may decline.

The market for software products and IT services, including wireless IT application products and solutions, is highly competitive and subject to rapid changes in technology. In fiscal year 2015, we faced significant competition from both established and emerging software companies which contributed to the decline in our new transactions and we expect to continue to face significant competition in the future. In addition, our growth opportunities in new product markets could be limited to the extent established and emerging software companies enter or have entered those markets. We believe the principal competitive factors in our markets are industry experience, quality of the products and services offered, reputation, marketing and selling skills, as well as price. We face significant competition from various competitors, including:

other Chinese wireless data communication and exchange software application and service providers, such as Beijing CEICT Technology Co., Ltd., Xi’an Future Technology Information Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Shi Ji An Ruan Technology Co., Ltd. and Cyber Technologies (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.;

other Chinese software developers and IT service providers that may decide to add wireless data communication and exchange programming capability;

telecommunication equipment producers and suppliers; and

multi-national service providers.

Many of our current and prospective competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing, service, support, technical and other resources than we do. As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly than us to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products. Announcements of competing products by large competitors or other vendors could result in the cancellation of orders by customers in anticipation of the introduction of such new products. Smaller competitors can also compete against us in terms of price, and some regional small competitors have a closer relationship with the local government. In addition, some of our competitors currently make complementary products that are sold separately. Such competitors could decide to enhance their competitive position by bundling their products to attract customers seeking integrated, cost-effective software applications. We also expect competition to increase as a result of software industry consolidations, which may lead to the birth of additional large and well-financed competitors. Increased competition is likely to result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins and loss of market share.

We may undertake acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manage our business. In addition, such undertakings may not be successful.

Our strategy includes plans to grow both organically and through acquisitions, participation in joint ventures or other strategic alliances. Joint ventures and strategic alliances may expose us to new operational, regulatory and market risks, as well as risks associated with additional capital requirements. We may not be able, however, to identify suitable future acquisition candidates or alliance partners. Even if we identify suitable candidates or partners, we may be unable to complete an acquisition or alliance on terms commercially acceptable to us. If we fail to identify appropriate candidates or partners, or complete desired acquisitions, we may not be able to implement our strategies effectively or efficiently.

In addition, our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and their operations may be adversely affected by a number of factors. These factors include:

diversion of management’s attention;

difficulties in retaining customers of the acquired companies;

difficulties in retaining personnel of the acquired companies;

entry into unfamiliar markets;

unanticipated problems or legal liabilities; and

tax and accounting issues.

If we fail to integrate acquired companies efficiently, our earnings, revenue growth and business could be negatively affected.

Due to intense competition for highly-skilled personnel, we may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently trained employees to support our operations; our ability to bid for and obtain new projects may be negatively affected and our revenues could decline as a result.

The IT industry relies on skilled employees, and our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain qualified employees. Wireless information management application development is a relatively new area in the IT industry. There is a small pool of experienced developers. As the market demand picks up and more IT companies enter this market, there is significant competition in China for professionals with the skills necessary to develop the products and perform the services we offer to our customers. Increased competition for these professionals, in the wireless information management application development areas or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on us if we experience significant increase in the attrition rate among employees with specialized skills, which could decrease our operating efficiency and productivity and could lead to a decline in demand for our services.

In addition, our ability to serve existing customers and business partners and obtain new business will depend, in large part, on our ability to attract, train and retain skilled personnel that enable us to keep pace with growing demands for wireless information management application, evolving industry standards and changing customer preferences. Our failure to attract, train and retain personnel with the qualifications necessary to fulfill the needs of our existing and future customers or to assimilate new employees successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our failure to retain our key personnel on business development or find suitable replacements of the key personnel upon their departure may lead to shrinking new implementation projects, which could materially adversely affect our business.

Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior executives and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if we lose their services.

Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior executives and other key employees. In particular, we rely on the expertise and experience of Mr. Tao Li, our chairman. In addition, we rely on Mr. Peng Zhang, our chief executive officer, and Ms. Li Wu, our chief financial officer. If one or more of our senior executives or key employees is unable or unwilling to continue in his or her present position, we may not be able to replace such employee easily, or at all, we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain replacement personnel, our business may be severely disrupted, and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

If Mr. Li’s other professional duties interfere or conflict with his duties for our company, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Mr. Li, our chairman, currently serves as the chairman and chief executive officer of China Green Agriculture, Inc. (“CGA”), a producer of humic acid based compound fertilizer in the PRC whose common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Mr. Li’s duties as chairman and chief executive officer of CGA require the devotion of a substantial amount of his professional time and attention. Mr. Li currently devotes approximately 70% of his professional time to his duties for CGA. Similarly, our success and the execution of our growth strategy will require his significant efforts and the devotion of a substantial amount of his professional time and attention. If the performance of his duties on behalf of CGA interferes or conflict with his duties as chairman of our company, we may not be able to achieve our anticipated growth and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Our business could suffer if our executives and directors compete against us and our non-competition agreements with them cannot be enforced.

If any of our senior executives or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, know-how and key professionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our business development managers who keep a close relationship with our customers and business partners joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, and our revenues may be materially adversely affected. Most of our executives have entered into employment agreements with us that contain non-competition provisions. However, if any dispute arises between our executive officers and us, such non-competition provisions may not be enforceable, especially in China, where all of these executive officers and key employees reside, in light of the uncertainties with China’s legal system. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”

A significant portion of the software development, ongoing system support and enhancement service revenues we generate are fixed amounts according to our sales contracts. If we fail to accurately estimate costs and determine resource requirements in relation to our projects, our margins and profitability could be materially and adversely affected.

A significant portion of the software development, ongoing system support and enhancement service revenues we generate are fixed amounts according to our sales contracts or bids we submit. Our projects often involve complex technologies and must often be completed within compressed timeframes and meet increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. We may be unable to accurately assess the time and resources required for completing projects and price our projects accordingly. If we underestimate the time or resources required, we may experience cost overruns and mismatches in project staffing. Conversely, if we over-estimate requirements, our bids may become uncompetitive and we may lose business as a result. Furthermore, any failure to complete a project within the stipulated timeframe could expose us to contractual and other liabilities and damage our reputation.

Our computer networks may be vulnerable to security risks that could disrupt our services and adversely affect our results of operations.

Our computer networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses and other security problems caused by unauthorized access to, or improper use of, systems by third parties or employees. A hacker who circumvents security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions or malfunctions in operations. Computer attacks or disruptions may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted through computer systems of our customers. Actual or perceived concerns that our systems may be vulnerable to such attacks or disruptions may deter telecom operators and consumers from using our solutions or services. As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of these security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by these breaches, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

If we do not continually enhance our solution and service offerings, we may have difficulty in retaining existing customers and attracting new customers.

We believe that our future success will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing solutions and to introduce new solutions and features to meet the requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. We currently devote significant resources to refining and expanding our base software modules and to developing solutions that operate in accordance with our customers’ networks and systems. Unexpected technical, operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of these products or services, or any products or services that we may plan to introduce in the future. Our present or future products may not satisfy the evolving needs of the telecom industry, and these solutions and services may not achieve anticipated market acceptance or generate incremental revenue. If we are unable to anticipate or respond adequately to the need for solutions and service enhancements due to resource, technological or other constraints, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of software applications and services to a broader client base. We will be required to make investments in research and development in order to continually develop new software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing software applications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our software applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future in innovating and introducing new software applications and service offerings. Our development-stage software applications may not be successfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new software applications, and enhance existing software applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. Development schedules for software applications are difficult to predict. The timely availability of new applications and their acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results of operations.

Changes in technology could adversely affect our business by increasing our costs, reducing our profit margins and causing a decline in our competitiveness.

China’s wireless telecom industry, in which we operate, is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new services and solutions and enhancements as well as changing customer demands. New solutions and new technologies often render existing solutions and services obsolete, excessively costly or otherwise unmarketable. As a result, our success depends on our ability to adapt to the latest technological progress, such as the 4G standard and technologies, and to develop or acquire and integrate new technologies into our software solutions and IT-related services. Advances in technology also require us to commit substantial resources to developing or acquiring and then deploying new technologies for use in our operations. We must continuously train personnel in new technologies and in how to integrate existing hardware and software systems with these new technologies. We may not be able to adapt quickly to new technologies or commit sufficient resources to compete successfully against existing or new competitors in bringing to market solutions and services that incorporate these new technologies. We may incur problems in the future in innovating and introducing new software applications and service offerings. Our development-stage software applications may not be successfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we fail to adapt to changes in technologies and compete successfully against established or new competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Returns on our investment in new technologies, such as 4G technology, and new solutions may not materialize as expected.

We have invested and will invest in the future a substantial amount of capital, manpower and other resources to develop new solutions and acquire technologies in preparation for the adoption by the wireless telecom industry in China of new standards and technologies, such as the 4G standard and technologies. However, our abilities to successfully develop and commercialize these new solutions and technologies are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty surrounding the timing of the adoption of these new standards and technologies by China’s telecom industry and the receptiveness to these new technologies by their customer base, as well as our abilities to develop and market these new solutions cost-effectively and to deliver these solutions ahead of our competitors. Any of the above risks and uncertainties could jeopardize our ability to successfully realize a significant return on our investment in the 4G and other new technologies and solutions, if at all.

Problems with the quality or performance of our solutions may cause delays in the introduction of new solutions or result in the loss of customers and revenues, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our software solutions are complex and may contain defects, errors or bugs when first introduced to the market or to a particular customer, or as new versions are released. Because we cannot test for all possible scenarios, our solutions may contain errors which are not discovered until after they have been installed, and we may not be able to timely correct these problems. These defects, errors or bugs could interrupt or delay completion of projects or sales to our customers. In addition, our reputation may be damaged and we may fail to acquire new projects from existing customers or new customers. Errors may occur when we provide systems integration and maintenance services. Some of the contracts with our customers do not have provisions setting forth limitations on liability for consequential damages. Even in cases where we have agreements with our customers that contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from customer problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all cases and in all jurisdictions. In addition, as a result of business and other considerations, we may undertake to compensate our customers for damages arising from the use of our solutions, even if our liability is limited by these provisions. Moreover, claims and liabilities arising from customer problems could also result in adverse publicity and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not carry any product or service liability insurance and any imposition of liability on us may materially and adversely affect our business and increase our costs, resulting in reduced revenues and profitability.

Our products may contain undetected software defects, which could negatively affect our revenues.

Our software products are complex and may contain undetected defects. In the past, we have discovered software defects in certain of our products and have experienced delayed or lost revenues during the period it took to correct these problems. Although we test our products, it is possible that errors may be found or occur in our new or existing products after we have commenced commercial shipment of those products. Defects, whether actual or perceived, could result in adverse publicity, loss of revenues, product returns, a delay in market acceptance of our products, loss of competitive position or claims against us by customers. Any such problems could be costly to remedy and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of our product sales, which could cause us to lose existing or prospective customers and could negatively affect our results of operations.

We may be subject to infringement, misappropriation and indemnity claims in the future, which may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantial damages and be prevented from providing our services or technologies.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patent and copyright law covering software-related technologies and IT marketing is evolving rapidly and is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. Our self-developed or licensed technologies, processes or methods may be covered by third-party patents or copyrights, either now existing or to be issued in the future. Any potential litigation may cause us to incur significant expenses. Third-party claims, if successfully asserted against us may cause us to pay substantial damages, seek licenses from third parties, pay ongoing royalties, redesign our services or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject to these claims. Even if we were to prevail, any litigation would likely be costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.

Additionally, most of our software development contracts signed with our customers contain indemnity clauses whereby we will indemnify our customers for any loss or damages suffered as a result of any third-party claims against them for any infringement of intellectual property rights in connection with the installation and use of the customized software solutions we develop for them. We may still be exposed to significant liabilities under these indemnity clauses to which we’ve agreed with our customers.

Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may undermine our competitive position, and subject us to costly litigation to protect our intellectual property rights.

Any misappropriation of our technology or the development of competitive technology could seriously harm our business. We regard a substantial portion of our software solutions and systems as proprietary and rely on statutory copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, customer license agreements, employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements and other methods to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, these resources afford only limited protection and the actions we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be adequate. In particular, third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietary technologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protection in China may not be as effective as in the United States, and policing unauthorized use of proprietary technology can be difficult and expensive. In addition, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets or determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of any such litigation may not be in our favor. Furthermore, any such litigation may be costly and may divert management attention, as well as our other resources, away from our business. An adverse determination in any such litigation will impair our intellectual property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and would have to bear all litigation costs in excess of the amount recoverable from other parties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our solutions incorporate a portion of, and work in conjunction with, third-party hardware and software solutions. If these third-party hardware or software solutions are not available to us at reasonable costs, or at all, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.

Although our solutions primarily rely on our own core technologies, some of our solutions incorporate a small portion of third-party hardware and software solutions. In addition, our solutions are designed to work in conjunction with the third-party hardware and software in our customers’ existing systems. If any third party were to discontinue making their solutions available to us or our customers on a timely basis, or increase materially the cost of their solutions, or if our solutions failed to properly function or interoperate with replacement hardware or software solutions, we may need to incur costs in finding replacement third-party solutions and/or redesigning our solutions to replace or function with third-party solutions. Replacement solutions may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all, and we may be unable to develop alternative solutions or redesign our solutions on a timely basis or at a reasonable cost. If any of these were to occur, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.

Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have a material adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.

Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. High-quality support services are critical for the successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide high-quality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we may be materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potential customers. Our failure to maintain high-quality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures may have a material adverse effect on our business, the price of our ADSs, operating results and financial condition.

We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, every public company is required to include a management report on its internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This requirement first applied to our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended on September 30, 2011. In connection with our assessments of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting, management concluded that as of September 30, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective due to lack of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) expertise in our current accounting team. Please refer to the discussion under Item 15, “Controls and Procedures” for further discussion of our material weakness as of September 30, 2015. Should we be unable to remediate the material weakness promptly and effectively, such weakness could harm our operating results, result in a material misstatement of our financial statements, cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations or prevent us from providing reliable and accurate financial reports or avoiding or detecting fraud. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our ADSs. Any litigation or other proceeding or adverse publicity relating to the material weaknesses could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

We have very limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.

We do not maintain any insurance coverage for our leased properties. Should any natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons or any acts of terrorism occur in Shaanxi Province, where our head office is located and most of our employees are based, or elsewhere in China, we might suffer not only significant property damages, but also loss of revenues due to interruptions in our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.

The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and do not, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, while business disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, particularly if it affects our technology platforms which we depend on for delivery of our software and services, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may be liable to our customers for damages caused by unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information, whether through our employees or otherwise.

We are typically required to manage, utilize and store sensitive or confidential customer data in connection with the products and services we provide. Under the terms of our customer contracts, we are required to keep such information strictly confidential. We seek to implement specific measures to protect sensitive and confidential customer data. We require our employees to enter into non-disclosure agreements to limit such employees’ access to, and distribution of, our customers’ sensitive and confidential information and our own trade secrets. We can give no assurance that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequate to protect our customers’ confidential information. If our customers’ proprietary rights are misappropriated by our employees, in violation of any applicable confidentiality agreements or otherwise, our customers may consider us liable for that act and seek damages and compensation from us. However, we currently do not have any insurance coverage for mismanagement or misappropriation of such information by our employees. Any litigation with respect to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and confidential information might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be time-consuming and costly to defend. If we fail to defend ourselves against such claims, we may lose significant intellectual property rights and may be unable to continue providing our existing products and services.

It is critical that we use and develop our technology and products without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties, including patents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and time-consuming and could divert management’s attention from our business. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages, develop non-infringing technology, or re-brand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and cease making, licensing or using products that have infringed a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential customers deferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our customers against infringement claims in certain instances. Also, we may be unaware of intellectual property registrations or applications relating to our services that may give rise to potential infringement claims against us. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or using technology containing the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We have transferred intellectual property rights to a number of our customized software solutions to our customers in the past and may not own all these intellectual property rights. We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims from these customers and others, which may force us to incur substantial legal expenses and, if determined adversely against us, may disrupt our business and materially and adversely affect our revenues and net income.

Our business involves the development and customization of software solutions for customers. While we retain ownership in the intellectual property rights underlying the core technologies required to develop our customized finished software solutions, in most cases, our contracts for custom-designed projects provided that our customers own, or share with us, intellectual property rights to the finished software solutions developed under such contracts. Under these circumstances, we may not have the right to reuse the related finished software in projects involving other customers nor can we unilaterally apply for copyright registrations, patents or other intellectual property rights for these software solutions. To the extent that we are unable to reuse the software and to the extent that the use of such software is important to the growth of our business with other customers, the inability to reuse such software could hinder the growth of our business. Furthermore, a portion of these contracts provide that our customers have ownership rights to any substantial improvements we subsequently make to the software solutions developed under these contracts. As a result, we may be subject to intellectual property infringement or profit sharing claims in the future from these customers. Any such claims could subject us to costly litigation and may require us to pay damages and develop non-infringing intellectual property, or acquire licenses to the intellectual property that is the subject of the alleged infringement. These could harm our reputation and materially and adversely affect our business and net income.

Seasonality and fluctuations in our customers’ annual IT budget and spending cycle and other factors can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year.

Our revenues and operating results will vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. A large number of our engineers take leave around the Chinese New Year holiday, which typically falls between late January and February of each year. The lack of man-hours during this holiday period usually leads to relatively lower revenues during the first calendar quarter. Due to the annual budget cycles of most of our customers, we may be unable to accurately estimate the demand for our solutions and services beyond the immediate calendar year, which could adversely affect our business planning. Moreover, our results will vary depending on our customers’ business needs from year to year. Due to these and other factors, our operating results have fluctuated significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our future performance in any future period.

Our corporate actions are substantially controlled by our principal shareholders, who can cause us to take actions in ways you may not agree with.

Mr. Tao Li, our chairman, beneficially owns and has voting control over approximately 47.9% of our ordinary shares, and our officers and directors as a group beneficially own and have voting control over an aggregate of approximately 48.9% of our ordinary shares. These shareholders, acting individually or as a group, could exert control and substantial influence over matters such as electing directors, amending our constitutional documents, and approving acquisitions, mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership and voting power may also discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our shares. Alternatively, our controlling shareholders may cause a merger, consolidation or change of control transaction even if it is opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering.

We depend on a small number of customers to derive a significant portion of our revenues. If we were to become dependent again upon a few customers, such dependency could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.

We derived a material portion of our revenues from a small number of customers. In the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our five largest customers accounted for 91% and 91% of our total sales, respectively, and our largest customer - Hualu Engineering & Technology Co., Ltd. accounted for approximately 66% of our total sales during this period. As our customer base may change from year-to-year, during such years that the customer base is highly concentrated, the fluctuation of our sales to any of such major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Moreover, our high customer base concentration may also adversely affect our ability to negotiate contract prices with these customers, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

Our historical outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. Inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

Historically, our outstanding accounts receivable have been relatively high. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, our outstanding accounts receivable were $5.1million and $4.8 million, respectively. Although we conduct credit evaluations of our customers, we generally do not require collateral or other security from our customers. In addition, we have had a relatively high customer concentration. The outstanding accounts receivable balance for our largest customer was 43% and 23% of the total accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As a result, an extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account will have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days of our accounts receivable. Our inability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis, if at all, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

Adverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China, which could reduce the demand for our services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.

Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects are subject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRC government continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host of other government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB and foreign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market. These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growth in the past 30 years. The reorganization of the telecommunications industry encouraged by the PRC government has directly affected our industry and our growth prospect. In response to the recent global and Chinese economic downturn, the PRC government has adopted policy measures aimed at stimulating the economic growth in China. If the PRC government’s current or future policies fail to help the Chinese economy achieve further growth or if any aspect of the PRC government’s policies limits the growth of the telecommunications industry in China or our industry or otherwise negatively affects our business, our growth rate or strategy, our results of operations could be adversely affected as a result.

A slowdown or other adverse developments in the PRC economy may materially and adversely affect our customers, demand for our services and our business.

We are a holding company. All of our operations are conducted in the PRC and all of our revenues are generated from sales in the PRC.

According to an article published on August 14, 2015, a slew of recent figures have shown that growth in several key sectors has slowed to a crawl in response to contracting world trade. The demand for oil in China, a key measure of activity, fell in tandem with a fall in car sales. Exports tumbled in June by 8.3%. Furthermore, according to an article published by Fortune on January 21, 2015 since recording its last double-digit growth (10.4%) in 2010, the Chinese economy has effectively decelerated 30% in five years. Most of the slowdown occurred in 2011 and 2012 when reported growth was 9.3% and 7.7%, respectively. Wall Street Journal stated on January 19, 2015 that China’s economic growth slowed to 7.4% in 2014, downshifting to a level not seen in a quarter century.

In the next two to three years, China’s growth performance could deteriorate because of the overhang of its real estate bubble, massive manufacturing overcapacity, and the lack of new growth engines. The International Monetary Fund and UBS estimate that the Chinese economy will grow by 6.8% in 2015. A slowdown in overall economic growth, an economic downturn or recession or other adverse economic developments in the PRC may materially reduce the demand for new construction projects and adversely affect our business.

Our business benefits from certain government tax incentives. Expiration, reduction or discontinuation of, or changes to, these incentives will increase our tax burden and reduce our net income.

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law passed in 2007 and the implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, or the New EIT Law, a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% and unified tax deduction standard is applied equally to both domestic-invested enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises, or FIEs. Enterprises established prior to March 16, 2007 eligible for preferential tax treatment in accordance with the then tax laws and administrative regulations shall gradually become subject to the New EIT Law rate over a five-year transition period starting from the date of effectiveness of the New EIT Law. However, certain qualifying high-technology enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% if they own their core intellectual properties and they are enterprises in certain State-supported high-tech industries to be later specified by the government. As a result, if our PRC subsidiaries qualify as “high-technology enterprises,” they will continue to benefit from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented from January 1, 2008. Kingtone Information is qualified as a “high-technology enterprise” until 2017 and therefore it had benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%, subject to transitional rules implemented on January 1, 2008. Currently, the value-added taxes we pay on our software products are refunded to us by the tax authorities as part of the PRC state policies to encourage the development of the PRC software industry. If Kingtone Information ceases to qualify as a “high-technology enterprise”, or if the refund of the value-added taxes ceases to apply, or the tax authorities change their position on our preferential tax treatments in the future, our future tax liabilities may materially increase, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations .

If we and/or Topsky were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we and/or Topsky could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Law and our non-PRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.

Under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules, both of which became effective January 1, 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with “de facto management bodies” within the PRC may be considered a PRC “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on its global income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define “de facto management” as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise. However, as of the date of this annual report, no final interpretations on the implementation of the “resident enterprise” designation are available. Moreover, any such designation, when made by PRC tax authorities, will be determined based on the facts and circumstances of individual cases. Therefore, if we and/or Topsky Info-tech Holdings Pte Ltd., our wholly owned intermediary subsidiary incorporated in Singapore on November 3, 2009 (“Topsky”), were to be considered a “resident enterprise” by the PRC tax authorities, our and/or Topsky’s global income would be taxable under the New EIT Law at the rate of 25% and, to the extent we and/or Topsky were to generate a substantial amount of income outside of PRC in the future, we and/or Topsky would be subject to additional taxes. In addition, the dividends we pay to our non-PRC enterprise shareholders and gains derived by such shareholders or ADS holders from the transfer of our shares or ADSs may also be subject to PRC withholding tax at the rate up to 10%, if such income were regarded as China-sourced income.

Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.

We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries and our contractual control of Kingtone Information. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should we decide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. As a result, there may be limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, or otherwise fund and conduct our business.

In addition, under the New EIT Law and the implementing rules that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated from the business of our PRC subsidiaries after January 1, 2008 and payable to us and/or Topsky may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% if the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we and/or Topsky is a non-resident enterprise, unless there is a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. Topsky, the direct holder of 100% of the equity interests of Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd. (“Softech”), is organized in Singapore. Softech is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) in China on November 27, 2009. Under the Notice of the State Administration of Taxation on Delivering the Table of Negotiated Dividends and Interest Rates to Lower Levels of People’s Republic of China, such dividend withholding tax rate is reduced to 5% if a Singapore resident enterprise owns over 25% of the PRC Company distributing the dividends. As Topsky is a Singapore company and owns 100% of Softech, under the aforesaid notice, any dividends that Softech pays to Topsky will be subject to a withholding tax at the rate of 5%, provided that Topsky is not considered to be PRC tax resident enterprises. If, however, Topsky is regarded as a resident enterprise, the dividends payable to Topsky from Softech may be exempt from the PRC income tax, and the dividends payable from Topsky to us will be subject to a 10% PRC withholding tax (unless we are considered to be a PRC tax resident enterprise). Any such taxes could thus materially reduce the amount of funds available to us to meet our cash requirements, including the payment of dividends to our shareholders.

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.

We conduct all of our business through our subsidiaries in China. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRC subsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises. The PRC legal system is based on statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value.

Since 1979, PRC legislation and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system and recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and their nonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all) that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our May 2010 public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operating subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

In utilizing the proceeds of our May 2010 public offering as an offshore holding company of our PRC operating subsidiaries, we may make loans to our PRC subsidiaries, or we may make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries. Any loans to our PRC subsidiaries are subject to PRC regulations. For example, loans by us to our subsidiaries in China, which are FIEs, to finance their activities cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE. On August 29, 2008, SAFE promulgated Circular 142, a notice regulating the conversion by a foreign-invested company of foreign currency into RMB by restricting how the converted RMB may be used. The notice requires that RMB converted from the foreign currency-denominated capital of a foreign-invested company may only be used for purposes within the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specifically provided for otherwise. The foreign currency-denominated capital shall be verified by an accounting firm before converting into RMB. In addition, SAFE strengthened its oversight over the flow and use of RMB funds converted from the foreign currency-denominated capital of a foreign-invested company. To convert such capital into RMB, the foreign-invested company must report the use of such RMB to the bank, and the RMB must be used to the reported purposes. According to Circular 142, change of the use of such RMB without approval is prohibited. In addition, such RMB may not be used to repay RMB loans if the proceeds of such loans have not yet been used. Violations of Circular 142 may result in severe penalties, including substantial fines as set forth in the Foreign Exchange Administration Rules.

We may also decide to finance our subsidiaries by means of capital contributions. These capital contributions must be approved by the PRC Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM, or its local counterpart. We may not be able to obtain these government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future capital contributions by us to our PRC subsidiaries. If we fail to receive such approvals, our ability to use the proceeds of our May 2010 public offering and to capitalize our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from our PRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders, including holders of our ADSs or ordinary shares.

Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on the value of your investment.

The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximate 26.8% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and September 30, 2015. Provisions on Administration of Foreign Exchange, as amended in August 2008, further changed China’s exchange regime to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand. Since reaching a high against the U.S. dollar in July 2008, however, the RMB has traded within a narrow band against the U.S. dollar, remaining within 1% of its July 2008 high but never exceeding it. As a consequence, the RMB has fluctuated sharply since July 2008 against other freely-traded currencies, in tandem with the U.S. dollar. In August 2015, the PRC Government devalued its currency by approximately 3%, represented the largest yuan depreciation for 20 years. Concerns remain that China’s slowing economy, and in particular its exports, will need a stimulus that can only come from further cuts in the exchange rate.

It is difficult to predict how long the current situation may continue and when and how it may change again as the People’s Bank of China may regularly intervene in the foreign exchange market to achieve economic policy goals. Substantially all of our revenues and costs are denominated in the RMB, and a significant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in RMB. We principally rely on dividends and other distributions paid to us by our subsidiaries in China. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, and any dividends payable on, our ADSs or ordinary shares in U.S. dollars. Any fluctuations of the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar could also result in foreign currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes.

We control Kingtone Information through contractual arrangements which may not be as effective in providing control over Kingtone Information as direct ownership, and if Kingtone Information or its shareholders breach the contractual arrangements, we would have to rely on legal remedies under PRC law, which may not be available or effective, to enforce or protect our rights.

We conduct substantially all of our operations, and generate substantially all of our revenues, through contractual arrangements with Kingtone Information, our variable interest entity, or VIE, that provide us, through our ownership of Topsky and its ownership of Softech, with effective control over Kingtone Information. We have no direct ownership interest in Kingtone Information. We depend on Kingtone Information to hold and maintain contracts with our customers. Kingtone Information also owns substantially all of our intellectual property, facilities and other assets relating to the operation of our business, and employs the personnel for substantially all of our business. Neither our company nor Softech has any ownership interest in Kingtone Information. Although we believe that that each contract under Softech’s contractual arrangements with Kingtone Information is valid, binding and enforceable under current PRC laws and regulations in effect, these contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing us with control over Kingtone Information as direct ownership of Kingtone Information would be. In addition, Kingtone Information may breach the contractual arrangements. For example, Kingtone Information may decide not to make contractual payments to Softech, and consequently to our company, in accordance with the existing contractual arrangements. In the event of any such breach, we would have to rely on legal remedies under PRC law. These remedies may not always be available or effective, particularly in light of uncertainties in the PRC legal system.

Softech’s contractual arrangements with Kingtone Information may result in adverse tax consequences to us.

We could face material and adverse tax consequences if the PRC tax authorities determine that Softech’s contractual arrangements with Kingtone Information were not made on an arm’s length basis and adjust our income and expenses for PRC tax purposes in the form of a transfer pricing adjustment. A transfer pricing adjustment could result in a reduction, for PRC tax purposes, of adjustments recorded by Kingtone Information, which could adversely affect us by increasing Kingtone Information’s tax liability without reducing Softech’s tax liability, which could further result in late payment fees and other penalties to Kingtone Information for underpaid taxes.

PRC laws and regulations governing our businesses and the validity of certain of our contractual arrangements are uncertain. If we are found to be in violation of such PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to sanctions. In addition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and adversely affect our business.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business, or the enforcement and performance of Softech’s contractual arrangements with Kingtone Information. Softech is considered a foreign invested enterprise under PRC law. As a result, Softech is subject to PRC law limitations on its businesses and foreign ownership of Chinese companies. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. In January 2015, China’s Ministry of Commerce unveiled a draft legislation that could change how the government is regulating corporate structures, especially for VIEs controlled by foreign investments. Instead of looking at “ownership”, the draft law focused on the entities or individuals that hold control of a VIE. If a VIE is deemed to be controlled by foreign investors, it may be barred from operating in restricted sectors or the prohibited sectors listed on a “negative list”, where only companies controlled by Chinese nationals could operate, even if structured as VIEs.

In the event that the draft law is implemented in any form, and that the Company’s business is characterized as one of the “restricted” or “prohibited” sectors, Kingtone Information may be barred from operation which will materially adversely affect our business.

The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licenses and requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a later time by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assure you that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may be subject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt our business operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we were required to obtain the prior approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, of the listing and trading of our ADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the Ministry of Commerce, the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the State Administration for Taxation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the CSRC and the SAFE, jointly issued the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, which became effective on September 8, 2006 (the “New M&A Rules”). This regulation, among other things, includes provisions that purport to require that an offshore special purpose vehicle formed for the purposes of overseas listing of equity interests in PRC companies and controlled directly or indirectly by PRC companies or individuals obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities on an overseas stock exchange. On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published on its official website procedures regarding its approval of overseas listings by special purpose vehicles. The CSRC approval procedures require the filing of a number of documents with the CSRC and it would take several months to complete the approval process, if practicable at all. The application of this new PRC regulation remains unclear with no consensus currently existing among leading PRC law firms regarding the scope of the applicability of the CSRC approval requirement.

Prior to our May 2010 initial public offering, our PRC counsel has advised us that, based on its understanding of the current PRC laws and regulations as well as the procedures announced on September 21, 2006: (i) Softech was directly incorporated by Topsky as a foreign investment enterprise under PRC law; therefore, there was no acquisition of the equity of a “PRC domestic company” as defined under the New M&A Rules; and (ii) the contractual arrangements between Kingtone Information and Softech are not clearly defined and considered as the transaction which shall be applied to the New M&A Rules. Therefore, we did not seek prior CSRC approval for our initial public offering.

However, if the CSRC required that we obtain its approval prior to the completion of our initial public offering and the listing of our ADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies. These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in the PRC, limit our operating privileges in the PRC, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from our initial public offering into the PRC, or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our shares.

Also, if the CSRC requires that we obtain its approval, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of the CSRC approval requirements if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver. Any uncertainties and/or negative publicity regarding this CSRC approval requirement could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our shares.

PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident shareholders to penalties and limit our ability to inject capital into our PRC subsidiary, limit our PRC subsidiary’s ability to distribute profits to us, or otherwise adversely affect us.

On October 21, 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fund-raising and Reverse Investment Activities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005. According to Notice 75, prior registration with the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing such offshore company with assets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC, or an offshore special purpose company. An amendment to registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident is also required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore special purpose company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, or any other material change involving a change in the capital of the offshore special purpose company. Moreover, Notice 75 applies retroactively. As a result, PRC residents who have established or acquired control of offshore special purpose companies that have made onshore investments in the PRC in the past are required to have completed the relevant registration procedures with the local SAFE branch by March 31, 2006. To further clarify the implementation of Notice 75, the SAFE issued Circular 106 on May 29, 2007. Under Circular 106, PRC subsidiaries of an offshore special purpose company are required to coordinate and supervise the filing of SAFE registrations by the offshore holding company’s shareholders or beneficial owners who are PRC residents in a timely manner.

Some of our current shareholders and/or beneficial owners may fall within the ambit of the SAFE notice and be required to register with the local SAFE branch as required under the SAFE notice. If so required, and if such shareholders and/or beneficial owners fail to timely register their SAFE registrations pursuant to the SAFE notice, or if future shareholders and/or beneficial owners of our company who are PRC residents fail to comply with the registration procedures set forth in the SAFE notice, this may subject such shareholders, beneficial owners and/or our PRC subsidiaries to fines and legal sanctions and may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends to our company, or otherwise adversely affect our business.

The Chinese government does not permit our auditor, or any other independent registered public accounting firm operating in China, to be inspected by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. As a result, investors will be deprived of the benefits of such inspection.

The independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit reports included in our annual reports filed with the SEC, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or PCAOB, is required by the laws of the United States to undergo regular inspections by PCAOB to assess its compliance with the laws of the United States and professional standards. Because our auditor is located in China, a jurisdiction where PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the PRC authorities, our auditor, like other independent registered public accounting firms operating in China, is currently not inspected by PCAOB. Inspections of other firms that PCAOB has conducted outside of China have, at times, identified deficiencies in those firms’ audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. The inability of PCAOB to conduct inspections of independent registered public accounting firms operating in China makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures or quality control procedures. As a result, investors will be deprived of the benefits of PCAOB inspections.

Risks Associated with our ADSs

The market price of our ADSs may be highly volatile, and you may not be able to resell at or above your initial purchase price.

There is a limited public market for our shares and ADSs. We cannot assure you that there will be an active trading market for our ADSs. You may not be able to sell your ADSs quickly or at the market price if trading in our ADSs is not active.

The trading price of our ADSs may be volatile. The price of our ADSs could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including the following:

Introduction of new products, services or technologies offered by us or our competitors;

Failure to meet or exceed revenue and financial projections we provide to the public;

Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;

Failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;

General market conditions and overall fluctuations in United States equity markets;

Announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;

Disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for our technologies;

Additions or departures of key management personnel;

Issuances of debt or equity securities;

10.

Significant lawsuits, including patent or shareholder litigation;

11.

Changes in the market valuations of similar companies;

12.

Sales of additional ADSs by us or our shareholders in the future;

13.

Trading volume of our ADSs;

14.

Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi;

15.

Negative market perception and media coverage of our company or other companies in the same or similar industry with us; and

16.

Other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.

In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Capital Market and software products and services companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of our ADS, regardless of our actual operating performance.

Our ADSs are subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules which may make it difficult for broker-dealers to complete customer transactions and trading activity in our securities.

Our ADSs are deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stock rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse in each of the prior two years.

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. Moreover, broker-dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. A broker-dealer must receive a written agreement to the transaction from the investor setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. These requirements may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities. As a result, the market price of our ADSs may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ADSs.

Sales of a substantial number of ordinary shares or ADSs in the public market by our existing shareholders could cause the price of our ADSs to fall.

Sales of a substantial number of our ordinary shares or ADSs in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our ADSs and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of our ADSs.

All of our existing shareholders prior to our May 2010 offering were subject to lock-up agreements with the underwriters of the offering that restricted the shareholders’ ability to transfer ordinary shares or ADSs until expiration of the lock-up period in November 2010. The lock-up agreements limited the number of ordinary shares or ADSs that may be sold immediately following the public offering. Subject to certain limitations, approximately 1,000,000 of our total outstanding shares are now eligible for sale. Sales of ordinary shares by these shareholders could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our ADSs.

Future sales and issuances of our ordinary shares or ADSs, or rights to purchase our ordinary shares or ADSs, including pursuant to our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan, could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our shareholders and could cause the price of our ADSs to fall.

We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell ordinary shares, ADSs, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell ordinary shares, ADSs, convertible securities or other equity securities in more than one transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and new investors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, so any returns will be limited to the value of our ADSs.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our ordinary shares. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return to shareholders will therefore be limited to the value of their ADSs.

As the rights of shareholders under British Virgin Islands law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.

Our corporate affairs will be governed by our memorandum of association and articles of association, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004, or the BVI Act, of the British Virgin Islands and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the BVI Act and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the British Virgin Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.

As a result of all of the above, holders of our ADSs may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against our management, directors or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.

British Virgin Islands companies may not be able to initiate shareholder derivative actions, thereby depriving shareholders of the ability to protect their interests.

British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. The circumstances in which any such action may be brought, and the procedures and defenses that may be available in respect to any such action, may result in the rights of shareholders of a British Virgin Islands company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the United States. Accordingly, shareholders may have fewer alternatives available to them if they believe that corporate wrongdoing has occurred. The British Virgin Islands courts are also unlikely to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts in the United States based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities law; and to impose liabilities against us, in original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands, based on certain liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature. There is no statutory recognition in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the British Virgin Islands will generally recognize and enforce the non-penal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.

The laws of the British Virgin Islands provide little protection for minority shareholders, so minority shareholders will have little or no recourse if the shareholders are dissatisfied with the conduct of our affairs.

Under the law of the British Virgin Islands, there is little statutory law for the protection of minority shareholders other than the provisions of the BVI Act dealing with shareholder remedies. The principal protection under statutory law is that shareholders may bring an action to enforce the constituent documents of the corporation, our memorandum of association and articles of association. Shareholders are entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted in accordance with the general law and the memorandum of association and articles of association.

There are common law rights for the protection of shareholders that may be invoked, largely dependent on English company law, since the common law of the British Virgin Islands is limited. Under the general rule pursuant to English company law known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle, a court will generally refuse to interfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority of its shareholders who express dissatisfaction with the conduct of the company’s affairs by the majority or the board of directors. However, every shareholder is entitled to have the affairs of the company conducted properly according to law and the company’s constituent documents. As such, if those who control the company have persistently disregarded the requirements of company law or the provisions of the company’s memorandum of association and articles of association, then the courts will grant relief. Generally, the areas in which the courts will intervene are the following: (1) an act complained of which is outside the scope of the authorized business or is illegal or not capable of ratification by the majority; (2) acts that constitute fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (3) acts that infringe on the personal rights of the shareholders, such as the right to vote; and (4) where the company has not complied with provisions requiring approval of a majority of shareholders, which are more limited than the rights afforded minority shareholders under the laws of many states in the United States.

Anti-takeover provisions in our memorandum of association and articles of association and our right to issue preference shares could make a third-party acquisition of us difficult.

Some provisions of our memorandum of association and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more series and to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares.

You may not have the same voting rights as the holders of our ordinary shares and must act through the depositary to exercise your rights.

Holders of our ADSs will not be able to exercise voting rights attaching to the shares evidenced by our ADSs on an individual basis. Holders of our ADSs will appoint the depositary or its nominee as their representative to exercise the voting rights attaching to the shares represented by the ADSs. You may not receive voting materials in time to instruct the depositary to vote, and it is possible that you, or persons who hold their ADSs through brokers, dealers or other third parties, will not have the opportunity to exercise a right to vote. Upon our written request, the depositary will mail to you a shareholder meeting notice which contains, among other things, a statement as to the manner in which your voting instructions may be given, including an express indication that such instructions may be given or deemed given to the depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by us if no instructions are received by the depositary from you on or before the response date established by the depositary. However, no voting instruction shall be deemed given and no such discretionary proxy shall be given with respect to any matter as to which we inform the depositary that (i) we do not wish such proxy given, (ii) substantial opposition exists, or (iii) such matter materially and adversely affects the rights of shareholders. We will make all reasonable efforts to cause the depositary to extend voting rights to you in a timely manner, but you may not receive the voting materials in time to ensure that you can instruct the depositary to vote your ADSs. Furthermore, the depositary and its agents will not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote, for the manner in which any vote is cast or for the effect of any such vote. As a result, you may not be able to exercise your right to vote and you may lack recourse if your ADSs are not voted as you requested. In addition, in your capacity as an ADS holder, you will not be able to call a shareholders’ meeting.

You may not be able to participate in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings as a result.

We may from time to time distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire our securities. However, we may not, and under the deposit agreement for the ADSs, the depositary will not, offer those rights to ADS holders unless both the rights and the underlying securities to be distributed to ADS holders are registered under the Securities Act, or the distribution of them to ADS holders is exempted from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all holders of ADSs. We are under no obligation to file a registration statement with respect to any such rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to cause such a registration statement to be declared effective. In addition, we may not be able to rely on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to distribute such rights and securities. Accordingly, holders of our ADSs may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution in their holdings as a result.

You may be subject to limitations on transfer of your ADSs.

Your ADSs are transferable on the books of the depositary. However, the depositary may close its transfer books at any time or from time to time when it deems expedient in connection with the performance of its duties. In addition, the depositary may refuse to deliver, transfer or register transfers of ADSs generally when our books or the books of the depositary are closed, or at any time if we or the depositary deem it advisable to do so because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body, or under any provision of the deposit agreement, or for any other reason.

We may be a passive foreign investment company, of PFIC, which could lead to additional taxes for U.S. holders of our ADSs or ordinary shares.

We do not expect to be, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, which is a foreign company for which, in any given taxable year, either at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or investment income in general, or at least 50% of its assets produce or are held to produce passive income, for the current taxable year, and we expect to operate in such a manner so as not to become a PFIC for any future taxable year. However, because the determination of PFIC status for any taxable year cannot be made until after the close of such year and requires extensive factual investigation, including ascertaining the fair market value of our assets on a quarterly basis and determining whether each item of gross income that we earn is passive income, we cannot assure you that we will not become a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are or become a PFIC, a U.S. holder of our ADSs or ordinary shares could be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the ADSs or ordinary shares and on certain distributions, plus an interest charge on certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules. Non-corporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividends received from us if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.

If the trading price of our ADSs fails to comply with the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market for our ADS and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.

Companies listed on NASDAQ are subject to delisting for, among other things, failure to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. On December 19, 2011, we received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price of our ADSs fell below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. We have regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as its ADS with its underlying ordinary share has achieved a closing bid price of $1.00 or greater for the 10 consecutive business days from November 6 to November 23, 2012 by implementing a 1-for-10 combination, or reverse split of the ordinary shares effective November 6, 2012. We cannot be sure that the price of our ADSs will comply with this requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future. If we were not able to do so, our ADSs would be subject to delisting and would likely trade on the over-the-counter market. If our ADSs were to trade on the over-the-counter market, selling our ADSs could be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts’ coverage of us may be reduced. In addition, broker-dealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them, which may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our ADSs, further limiting the liquidity of our ADS. As a result, the market price of our ADSs may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our ADSs. Such delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market and continued or further declines in our share price could also greatly impair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY.

A . HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY.

Overview

We are a holding company and conduct our operations through a contractually-controlled entity in the PRC named Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd., a PRC limited liability company (“Kingtone Information”) that develops and provides mobile enterprise solutions in the PRC. In May 2010, we consummated an initial public offering of our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, for gross proceeds of $16 million, and our ADSs were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol “KONE”.

Kingtone Information was incorporated in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, as a company limited by stocks on December 28, 2001. When it was incorporated, it had a registered capital of RMB50 million and its name was Xi’an TechTeam Intelligent Technology Stock Co., Ltd. Kingtone Information increased its registered capital to RMB56,000,000 on June 16, 2008 and changed its name to the current name on November 5, 2003. Kingtone Information is majority-owned by Mr. Tao Li, our chairman.

In December 2009, we consummated a number of related transactions through which we acquired control of Kingtone Information. Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd. (“Softech”), a company incorporated on November 27, 2009 under the laws of the PRC as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”), entered into a series of agreements (the “Control Agreements”) with Kingtone Information and the shareholders of Kingtone Information pursuant to which Softech was granted full managerial and economic control over Kingtone Information, effectively rendering Kingtone Information a contractual subsidiary of Softech. We entered into this contractual-control relationship in order to comply with certain PRC regulations relating to the nature and sensitivity of certain aspects of Kingtone Information’s business; namely, its work on PRC government projects. See “Item 4. – Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure – Contractual Arrangements with Kingtone Information and Its Respective Shareholders” for further information on these contractual arrangements.

Softech is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Topsky Info-tech Holdings Pte Ltd. (“Topsky”), a company incorporated under the laws of Singapore on November 3, 2009. Topsky, in turn, is our wholly-owned subsidiary. We were incorporated under the name Reizii Capital Management Ltd. in the British Virgin Islands on October 27, 2009 and changed our name to KingtoneWirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd (“Kingtone Wireless”) on December 17, 2009.

In exchange for causing Kingtone Information to enter into the Control Agreements, the shareholders of Kingtone Information received beneficial ownership of ordinary shares of Kingtone Wireless, through certain nominee entities, in the same relative ownership percentage as they held in Kingtone Information prior to our May 2010 public offering.

B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW.

We are a China-based developer and provider of mobile enterprise solutions. Mobile enterprise solutions allow company personnel whose work function requires mobility (as opposed to operating from a single work station) to be connected with enterprise information technology, or IT systems, including Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Our software enables such systems to get extended to personnel in the field using wireless devices such as smart phones, PDAs (or Personal Digital Assistant), cameras, barcode scanners, portable printers, GPS devices, and tablet computers. Mobile enterprise solutions also contain custom software applications for specific industries and businesses.

Our mobile enterprise solutions are built on our proprietary core middleware platform consisting of standardized modules. This core middleware platform allows our solutions to seamlessly integrate with our customers’ existing information management systems. The core middleware platform can host an array of standardized and scalable applications developed by us or by others. This structured design allows us to timely and cost-effectively meet our customers’ specific requirements, and to respond to their changing needs.

Mobile enterprise solutions are generally aimed at reducing processing times and facilitating the flow of information among people and systems. Mobile computing allows field workers to communicate and interact more efficiently with their central operations, and vice versa. Enterprises are able to capture more accurate and timely information, and to achieve major reductions in paperwork and administration. Mobile enterprise solutions can be used to put important data in the hands of field workers, thus improving decision-making and productivity in the field. They improve efficiency in everyday functions including work dispatch, sales, inspections, repairs, deliveries, tracking and scheduling. They can also be used within factory settings, where wireless data connections are used to improve central control and monitoring of production and automations systems. For example, we designed and implemented a solution for a PRC-based petroleum company that allows plant managers to wirelessly monitor its production lines from off-site or remote locations.

According to latest data from China's three mobile operators as quoted by Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on April 19, 2015, China, the world’s largest mobile phone market by subscribers, posted a 0.3 percent monthly increase in the number of mobile subscribers to 1.29 billion from 1.24 billion at February 20, 2014. The number of subscribers reached 1.24 billion in February 2014, up from 1.15 billion at ended of March 2013; it reached 1.15 billon at the end of March 2013, up from 1.11 billion at end of December 2012. The Chinese mobile market recorded the highest annual net additions with 135 million in 2012, up from 134 million in 2011, bringing the total to 1.11 billion. By end of 2017, it is envisaged 1.57 billion mobile subscribers in the country, representing a 114.0% penetration rate, with the growth rate averaging 7.2% between 2013 and 2017. It also forecasted the number of 3G/4G subscribers to increase to 768.7 million in 2017.

As the foundation of the mobile Internet, mobile networks play a crucial role in the development of the entire market. China’s high bandwidth mobile application market has been developing slowly, limited by the mobile bandwidth. However, with the formal commercial application of the 4G service, the download rate of 100Mbps will be provided for users, effectively breaking the bandwidth limitation and laying a foundation for the development of China’s high bandwidth mobile application market. Internet Data Centre (IDC) is optimistic about the development prospect of high bandwidth mobile applications such as mobile videos, mobile music and mobile online games. According to the planning of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China (“MIIT”), the executive bodies of "Broadband China" are the three major telecom operators, with China Telecom and China Unicom undertaking most of the tasks. With the formal commercial application of the 4G service, China Telecom and China Unicom have adjusted their core services and taken the 4G service as new key focus of investment and development. This will affect the investment and operation of the broadband service and have certain effects on the entire development process of “Broadband China”. To cooperate with our telecom partners, we are offering solutions to enable wider forms of mobile computing that take advantage of the 4G bandwidth. We also plan to devote resources to 4G products in anticipation of future government approval and commercial deployment.

We typically act as a total solution provider, packaging our software with various third-party hardware and related equipment. We are headquartered in Xi’an, China and sell our products widely throughout China.

Our Industry — Mobile Enterprise Software Industry

We operate in the mobile enterprise software industry in China. We believe the mobile enterprise market in China benefits from compelling industry fundamentals such as increasing investment in IT, the country’s 4G rollout, and increasing demand for wireless applications within working environments. However, as the macro economy is slowing down, the government will be more conservative on the investment on the mobile enterprise software, especially mobile enterprise software for some vertical industries such as police and emergency.

“Internet of Things” (“IOT”) Development in China

There has been a boom in research and development of China's IOT industry since the second half of 2009 when the government decided to promote the promising industry as well as other progressive industries including new energy, new materials and information networks.

China's State Council, the cabinet, issued guiding opinions for the orderly and healthy development of IOT, targeting breakthroughs in core technologies, shaping an IOT industry system, and improving the security capability by 2015. Under the guiding opinions, China will form a group of leading companies as well as small and medium-sized firms with creativity and innovation, and establish a complete IOT industrial chain. China promises to offer stronger financial and tax-related support to the IOT industry.

The Chinese government has been gradually increasing its financial support for the development of the IOT. In April 2011, the Ministry of Finance and the MIIT promulgated the Interim Measures for the Management of Special Funds for the Development of the Internet of Things.

Information Technology Development in China

The IDC study presents forecasts and analysis for the China IT services market for the period 2012-2016."China's focus on economic development could promote strong development in tertiary industries, especially the services industry. Technology development is an important focus in the economy. China's economic transformation leads to a strong need for IT services. In 2011, the IT services market in China totaled US$14,649.0 million, representing a year-on-year growth of 20.3% in U.S. dollar terms. Based on IDC's forecast, this market will reach US$28.6 billion, with a 2011–2016 CAGR of 14.4%," says Ting Yang, research manager, Services, IDC China, "3rd Platform technologies and vertical industry transformation have become the triggers to drive new IT service opportunities in the market, especially project-oriented services. With the enterprise IT environment becoming more virtualized and complex, there is a growing willingness to maximize the ROI of IT investment".

This supports our belief that market acceptance of enterprise mobility applications, solutions and systems usually accelerates when potential customers’ back-end information technology systems are fairly developed and they start to invest in applications. By identifying sectors with high growth rates of IT investment, we can exploit opportunities to expand our business by capturing the growth in targeted vertical industry markets.

Mobile Enterprise Solutions in China

We believe that China's enterprise mobility market is experiencing rapid development, driven primarily by the development of the mobile industry.

The growth of mobile enterprise solutions is driven by the demand for increased business efficiencies and new functionalities. In many modern businesses, operations are distributed over a large area, with individual operating elements. Mobile enterprise solutions allow organizations to enable mission-specific field and long-distance information management on a real-time basis. Mobile enterprise solutions consist of packaged, mission-specific and industry-specific applications and software designed especially for enterprise using wireless connectivity.

Enterprise wireless applications can be tailored to meet the specific needs of many industry sectors, such as manufacturing, energy, transportation, logistics, utilities, healthcare, and government agencies (such as police and emergency services). These custom software solutions include production control automation, sales force automation, field force automation, customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning, supply chain management, operations management, inventory management, time and expense, logistics, and other collaborative items.

Wireless enablement for an enterprise and its many activities is a prominent trend according to the IDC report. With the growth of the domestic economy, improvements in bandwidth, and increased mobility in working environments, enterprises and government agencies are increasing spending on the construction of mobile platforms and applications to extend their functionality outside of stationary locations. Mobile enterprise solutions including mobile middleware software, mobile security software, mobile device management software, and mobile enterprise applications have fueled the growth of both business data and video/voice usage, which are also major driving factors in communication spending.

Our Strengths

We believe the following strengths differentiate us from our competitors:

Proprietary suite of mobile enterprise solutions offerings

We are among the first of Chinese companies to focus predominantly on developing mobile enterprise solutions. Since we began our operations in 2001, we have completed many successful client installations (approximately 160) and have accumulated special knowledge and expertise that has directly resulted in the creation and development of our proprietary adaptable middleware platform, and an array of software applications. A client installation is considered “successful” when we have developed the solutions/systems according to the customer’s contractual specifications and have otherwise fulfilled all other material terms set forth in the sales contract, including installing, configuring and making the solutions/systems operational within the specified time periods. Additionally, to be considered “successful”, a customer must have test run the solutions/systems and indicated its satisfaction by signing the acceptance letter.

We believe our mobile enterprise software is superior in breadth of application. Our middleware platform and software applications can be selectively packaged to create tailored solutions that can be installed on both new systems and existing frameworks.

Strong development capability

We have taken advantage of the significant talent pool within the universities and research institutes in Xi’an China, where our operations are located, to establish a dedicated research and development team. As of September 30, 2015, we had 41 engineers dedicated to technology development and customer implementations. Our development engineers have diverse technical backgrounds and are led by experienced development practitioners. We have been able to track and incorporate the latest technologies into our software to continuously improve our core middleware platform and applications, and to develop new functionalities.

Industry knowledge

We work closely with our customers to build upon our understanding of our customers’ operational processes and requirements. Our sales teams coordinate closely with our development teams to reflect those requirements in our solutions. As a result, our mobile enterprise solutions fit smoothly into our customers’ operations. In addition, our presence in the mobile enterprise solution market since its inception provides us with domain knowledge which we use to help position ourselves for future growth. We continually receive feedbacks from this evolving market and are able to anticipate emerging sectors and future product requirements.

Good track record

Virtually all businesses and public service operations have the potential to experience efficiencies and new functionalities with mobile enterprise solutions. We have successfully completed projects for clients, such as the Central Government Security Bureau and Beijing Emergency Response Center, from many verticals. These serve as high-profile case studies and enhance our reputation in the marketplace and, thus, provide a key endorsement for the quality and stability of our product offerings. Moreover, by having our main corporate office in Xi’an, China, we benefit from the continued surge in IT investment by the Western provinces.

Joint efforts with Chinese wireless telecom carriers

We benefit from joint business development efforts with China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom. These wireless telecom carriers have a strategic interest in the advancement of the mobile enterprise in China. Our sales professionals work closely with those companies to access their large pools of corporate customers. Together we make joint presentations to candidate customers, where the carrier will provide the wireless network and we will provide the mobile enterprise solution. We have unwritten cooperative relationships with all three telecom carriers to co-promote next-generation mobile solutions for various other applications in China. In addition we have a formal co-marketing agreement with China Telecom to co-promote next-generation mobile solutions for law enforcement applications in Shaanxi province. For the year ended September 30, 2015, we completed a total of nineteen customer projects with the three telecom carriers. Typically under these arrangements, we jointly market our products and services for customer applications as customers contract with the telecom carrier with us providing our solutions to the customer and receiving our remuneration from the telecom carrier.

Our Strategy

Seize the opportunity presented by 4G adoption in China

As the foundation of the mobile Internet, mobile networks play a crucial role in the development of the entire market. China’s high bandwidth mobile application market has been developing slowly, limited by the mobile bandwidth. However, with the formal commercial application of the 4G service, the download rate of 100Mbps will be provided for users, effectively breaking the bandwidth limitation and laying a foundation for the development of China’s high bandwidth mobile application market. IDC is optimistic about the development prospect of high bandwidth mobile applications such as mobile videos, mobile music and mobile online games. According to the planning of MIIT, the executive bodies of "Broadband China" are the three major telecom operators, with China Telecom and China Unicom undertaking most of the tasks. With the formal commercial application of the 4G service, China Telecom and China Unicom have adjusted their core services and taken the 4G service as new key focus of investment and development. This will affect the investment and operation of the broadband service and have certain effects on the entire development process of “Broadband China”. To cooperate with our telecom partners, we are offering solutions to enable wider forms of mobile computing that take advantage of the 4G bandwidth. We also plan to devote resources to 4G products in anticipation of future government approval and commercial deployment.

Recruit, train and retain engineering professionals

We must train and retain our technical and business development teams. Once employed, we provide our technical employees with a comprehensive training program to understand our technologies, market and product offerings.

Invest more in research and development to create more successful software products

To keep our competitive edge, we launched a new research and development program to keep abreast of the latest developments in wireless standards and information management technologies, and to anticipate future customer needs. We also plan to invest in developing new applications for anticipated high-growth, vertical industry markets.

Pursue strategic acquisition opportunities

We will from time to time consider acquisitions or alliances that enable us to acquire talented and experienced software development personnel, enhance our technological capabilities and competitive advantages or provide licensing or recurring revenue opportunities, and propel our expansion.

Our Products and Solutions

We use various combinations of our existing middleware software modules, together with custom application software that we develop, to create a complete mobile enterprise software solution. For some customers, we provide the mobile enterprise software solution only. For other customers, we provide a complete wireless system solution, including mobile enterprise software and all hardware (our own plus third party hardware such as servers or wireless devices).

An example of our mobile enterprise software products is an insurance industry application that we developed with China Mobile. Our mobile enterprise software for this application enables an insurance company’s field personnel to receive their dispatch information and proceed accident reporting and claim processing while in the field. Form data is inputted electronically and high-resolution photos can be collected and filed over wireless connection, from the accident site. For this application, we provide the software only, while China Mobile provides hardware and the network services.

Our mobile enterprise software consists of core middleware and a broad array of software applications. Our middleware serves as an intelligent platform that operates on top of our customers’ operating systems and management information systems. Our software applications can be integrated onto our middleware platform as well as attached mobile devices (mobile phones, PDAs, laptops, etc.) to perform essential tasks or extend our customers’ existing applications over wireless communications to fixed or mobile nodes. We have combined elements of both browser/server and client/server frameworks in our software design to allow for both reliable and flexible access by authorized personnel, virtually at anytime and from anywhere.

An example of our complete wireless systems (software and hardware) is a mobile video surveillance system that we developed for the Beijing Emergency Response Center. Using servers and cameras combined with our mobile enterprise software, we provided a complete wireless system that enables the Beijing Emergency Response Center to collect and monitor video from its patrol cars. This system improved the speed and quality of the emergency response by enabling supervisors to approach an emergency situation in a faster and more thorough way.

Core Middleware Platform

Our core middleware platform resides on the customers’ servers. It is comprised of two layers of modules. The General Purpose Layer consists of mandatory software modules required to support the application software plugged into the middleware platform. The Basic Layer modules are also mandatory components that perform basic functions, such as communicating with a variety of hardware and software platforms, computer operating systems, networking and database products, coordinating and synchronizing the tasks performed by our solutions, and adding information security to data transmission.

Software Applications

We have developed two types of software applications that can be selectively overlaid with middleware to complete a packaged solution, namely, Information and Communication-Technology Converged, or ICT-converged, and Vertical Industry Applications.

ICT-converged applications perform generic functionalities that may be applied across multiple industries. Vertical Industry Applications, on the other hand, are non-generic and perform a specific task required by a particular industry. Both types of applications can reside on converged mobile devices (“Terminal-end Applications”), or on computer servers (“Server-end Applications”). Our Terminal-end Applications work on a variety of mobile devices and mobile operating systems.

In the terminal-end, we have information security, Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID), location-based service, steam media, information exchange, and management and configuration applications. The information security application encrypts or decrypts the information to ensure sensitive or classified information of our vertical industry customers can be transmitted over the public wireless telecommunication network securely. Installed with our RFID application and appropriate chips, a mobile phone can be turned into a RFID reader and writer for faster information input in certain vertical industry customers, such as the police and administration of industry and commerce. Our location-based service application enables a mobile phone to receive information relevant to its location. This application can greatly improve the operating efficiency of the mobile workforce of some of our vertical industry customers’ by pushing timely information to them. Our steam media application turns a mobile phone into a moveable video monitor and collector to facilitate decision-making by delivering live pictures anywhere anytime to the decision-maker. The information exchange application automatically synchronizes information in the mobile phone and in the back-end database.

Our Hardware Products

Portable Video Server. Our portable video server for vehicles or individuals can be integrated into the overall solution or purchased separately to add live mobile video surveillance or transmission functions to our customers’ existing systems.

We design the server, including the breadboard, the layout of internal structures, the specifications of the electronic components, and the I/O specifications. We currently outsource the production of our hardware to third-party manufacturers. We program the embedded software and write the software into the portable video servers. We also program the software loaded on our customers’ central servers to work with our portable video servers. By using our portable video server solution, our customers enjoy higher quality video and experience better transmission compared to the generic webcam solutions available elsewhere in the marketplace. Many industries and applications require this superior quality.

Tailoring Our Solutions

The engineers in our internal solution implementation department develop the tailored mobile enterprise solution according to our customer’s requirements. The tailored solution includes our core middleware platform and a selected combination of our software applications, and sometimes hardware we develop ourselves or outsource to third-party vendors. The tailored solution is delivered as a turn-key package.

Research and Development

As of September 30, 2015, we had 41 engineers devoted to developing our software products. They are currently all located in our main corporate office in Xi’an, China.

Our success depends on continued enhancement of our current products and our ability to develop new technologically advanced products that meet the increasingly sophisticated requirements of our customers. Our research and development center is responsible for conducting all of our basic research and development activities. The focus of our research and development personnel is on developing and improving our core middleware platform, our CIT-converged applications and our hardware products. Currently, there are 14 professionals out of the total 41 engineers in our research and development center, including two with doctorate degrees and two with other post-graduate degrees, with diverse backgrounds in computer science and technology, telecommunication engineering, software engineering and physical electronics.

We believe our professionals are adept at utilizing the latest technical developments in our industry to create new products and functionality. They also receive customer feedback from the sales and marketing team to develop applications demanded by our customers in certain sectors.

As of September 30, 2015, we had 22 engineers in our Vertical Industry Application Development Department, which is responsible for developing vertical industry applications. As of September 30, 2015, we had 14 engineers out of the aforementioned 22 engineers in our Automation Telematics Application Development Department that are responsible for developing automation telematics applications, which is a sub-group of vertical industry applications required by customers in manufacturing sectors with high degree of automation in their operations. Engineers in these two departments are also responsible for implementing the solutions for our customers.

Sales and Marketing

We sell our products and services mainly through our sales and marketing team, which is primarily based at our headquarters in Xi’an, China and our branch office in Beijing, China. We had 15 professionals in sales and marketing as of September 30, 2015.

To date, we have sold our mobile enterprise solutions to customers in 27 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in the PRC. In addition to those in Xi’an and Beijing, we have local sales teams that maintain close contact with our business partners and customers. We ensure that most of our sales and marketing professionals also have a technical background to make them competent for specialized IT sales, such as mobile enterprise solutions. Our sales and marketing professionals are organized into two teams: (i) Vertical Industry Application. and (ii) Automation Telematics.

The Vertical Industry Application sales force targets general business and government customers. They work closely with sales professionals at China’s wireless telecommunication carriers (China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom), under general cooperation framework agreements to develop new customers. We believe the carriers are motivated to improve their average revenue per user, or ARPU, by selling integrated services to enterprise customers. However, they generally lack the ability to develop applications to overlay on their basic data communication network. In most cases, the carriers directly contract with us to provide the wireless application solution. In other cases, we sell directly to our enterprise customers or are engaged as a sub-contractor or by other IT companies with the customer relationship.

Our Automation Telematics Application sales team focuses on industrial automation projects. These are mainly factory-specific wireless solutions that enable automated or semi-automated factory production lines, using our proprietary middleware and wireless capability. Automation Telematics utilizes wireless over short distances in a wide variety of usages that enable great automation control and production line monitoring and management. For such projects, typically we are contracted directly by the project owners or sub-contracted by the general contractors to provide automation telematics solutions. In most cases, building our software into large and complex physical systems (such as automated production lines) enables us to make a greater profit than if we sold our software independently.

Sales Process

Our sales process begins by explaining to our potential customers the benefit of our wireless application products to the customer’s particular business. Some companies seek mobile functionality for their sales force, some seek cross-company, real-time networking across all fixed and mobile nodes, while others seek a particular functionality specific to their own trade or business. Our team first seeks to understand each company’s particular needs and then develops a product design proposal. For each project or mandate, we will typically compete against several other companies in an open bid invitation process.

Major Customers

On September 15, 2012, we entered into a contract with Hualu Engineering & Technology Co., Ltd. ("Hualu") to provide wireless system service to Hualu's coal chemical factory in Jingbian Energy and Chemical Projects and Comprehensive Utilization of Industrial Park in Shaanxi, China ("JinbianIndustrial Park"). Hualu, a state-owned enterprise in China, is dedicated to all round engineering construction services. Pursuant to the agreement, we shall provide engineering services to Hualu's coal chemical factory in JingbianIndustrial Park. The services performed under this contract include installation, debugging and initial training the staff operating the tank, engineering instruments and telecommunications. It contributed RMB 50 million, or approximately $8.1 million revenue to the Company as of December 31, 2014, when the contract expired.

Competition

The wireless applications software market is currently a highly-fragmented industry with many players offering industry-specific solutions. We compete with a variety of different companies, some of which do not have a proprietary wireless platform and must therefore outsource and/or do more development and testing. Other companies have developed a wireless system for a single application that is not widely adaptable to usages across many industries. We believe one of our competitive advantages is the versatility of our platform, which allows for its application across numerous industries without significant ground-up redevelopment for each customer.

Our main competitors in the wireless application market in China are:

	1.	International IT consulting and service providers that have a strong foothold in customized enterprise software and information system design and implementation, such as Syclo and Accenture;
	2.	International mobile enterprise software and solution providers that have a significant presence in China, such as Sybase and CDC Software; and
	3.	Domestic mobile enterprise solution developers, such as Beijing Silu Innovation Technology Co., Ltd., a mobile application provider that focuses solely on environmental protection areas, and Cyber Technologies (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., a wireless application software and IT service provider that focuses solely on public securities areas.

We believe we have a superior understanding of our vertical industry markets compared to our international competitors and that our software products have much wider application areas than those of our domestic competitors. We also bring mobile applications to industrial automation management and control, an area in which we believe we have a higher level of sophistication than our competitors.

C. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

The following diagram illustrates our corporate structure and the place of formation and affiliation of each of our subsidiaries and affiliates.

Contractual Arrangements with Kingtone Information and Its Respective Shareholders

Our relationship with Kingtone Information and each of its respective shareholders is governed by a series of contractual arrangements. Some of the businesses in which Kingtone Information is engaged deal with classified government information in China. The current PRC laws and regulations do not allow companies with foreign equity holders to carry out such business activities. If we had a direct or indirect ownership in Kingtone Information, it could materially and adversely affect Kingtone Information’s ability to perform existing contracts and to win future contracts. Therefore, Softech and Kingtone Information entered into a series of contractual arrangements that allow us to effectively control Kingtone Information without violating relevant PRC laws and regulations. Under PRC laws, each of Softech and Kingtone Information is an independent legal person and neither of them is exposed to liabilities incurred by the other party. Pursuant to the contractual arrangements between Softech and Kingtone Information, as applicable, Kingtone Information transfers any and all net profits generated from its operations to Softech. Effective December 15, 2009, Softech entered into several control agreements with Kingtone Information, which agreements are summarized below. The terms of such control agreements reflect that Softech obtained effective control over Kingtone Information and has the ability to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of Kingtone Information.

Entrusted Management Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Entrusted Management Agreement dated December 15, 2009 among Kingtone Information, Softech and the shareholders of Kingtone Information (the “Entrusted Management Agreement”), Kingtone Information and its shareholders agreed to entrust the operations and management of its business to Softech. According to the Entrusted Management Agreement, Softech possesses the full and exclusive right to manage Kingtone Information’s operations, assets and personnel, has the right to control all of Kingtone Information's cash flows through an entrusted bank account, is entitled to Kingtone Information's net profits as a management fee, is obligated to pay all of Kingtone Information’s payables and loan payments, and bears all losses of Kingtone Information. The Entrusted Management Agreement shall remain in effect until (i) the parties mutually agree to terminate the agreement, (ii) the dissolution of Kingtone Information or (iii) Softech acquires all of the assets or equity of Kingtone Information (as more fully described below under “Exclusive Option Agreement”). We anticipate that Kingtone Information will continue to be the contracting party under its customer contracts, banks loans and certain other assets until such time as those may be transferred to Softech.

Exclusive Technology Service Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Exclusive Technology Service Agreement dated December 15, 2009 between Kingtone Information and Softech (“the Exclusive Technology Services Agreement”), Softech is the exclusive technology services provider to Kingtone Information. Kingtone Information agreed to pay Softech all fees payable for technologies services prior to making any payments under the Entrusted Management Agreement. Any payment from Kingtone Information to Softech must comply with applicable Chinese laws. Further, the parties agreed that Softech shall retain sole ownership of all intellectual property developed in connection with providing technology services to Kingtone Information. The Exclusive Technology Services Agreement shall remain in effect until (i) the parties mutually agree to terminate the agreement, (ii) the dissolution of Kingtone Information or (iii) Softech acquires Kingtone Information (as more fully described below under “Exclusive Option Agreement”).

Shareholders’ Voting Proxy Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Shareholders’ Voting Proxy Agreement dated December 15, 2009 among Softech and the shareholders of Kingtone Information (the “Shareholders’ Voting Proxy Agreement”), each of the shareholders of Kingtone Information irrevocably appointed Softech as their proxy to exercise on each of such shareholder’s behalf all of their voting rights as shareholders pursuant to PRC law and the Articles of Association of Kingtone Information, including the appointment and election of directors of Kingtone Information. Softech agreed that it shall maintain a board of directors composed of the members of the board of directors of Kingtone Wireless, except for those directors that are employed solely for the purpose of satisfying listing or financing requirements of Kingtone Wireless. The Shareholders’ Voting Proxy Agreement shall remain in effect until Softech acquires all of the assets or equity of Kingtone Information.

Exclusive Option Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Exclusive Option Agreement dated December 15, 2009 among Softech, Kingtone Information and the shareholders of Kingtone Information (the “Exclusive Option Agreement”), the shareholders of Kingtone Information granted Softech an irrevocable and exclusive purchase option (the “Option”) to acquire Kingtone Information’s equity interests and/or remaining assets, but only to the extent that the acquisition does not violate limitations imposed by PRC law on such transactions. As discussed above, the current PRC law and regulations do not allow foreigners to hold equity interests in a PRC entity that engages in business dealings with classified government information. Accordingly, the Option is exercisable at any time at Softech’s discretion so long as such exercise and subsequent acquisition of Kingtone Information does not violate PRC law. The consideration for the exercise of the Option is to be determined by the parties and memorialized in the future by definitive agreements setting forth the kind and value of such consideration. To the extent Kingtone Information shareholders receive any of such consideration, the Option requires them to transfer (and not retain) the same to Kingtone Information or Softech. The Exclusive Option Agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement or in 30 days following a written notice from Softech.

Equity Pledge Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Pledge Agreement dated December 15, 2009 among Softech and the shareholders of Kingtone Information (the “Pledge Agreement”), the shareholders of Kingtone Information pledged all of their equity interests in Kingtone Information, including the proceeds thereof, to guarantee all of Softech's rights and benefits under the Entrusted Management Agreement, the Exclusive Technology Service Agreement, the Shareholders’ Voting Proxy Agreement and the Exclusive Option Agreement. Prior to termination of the Pledge Agreement, the pledged equity interests cannot be transferred without Softech's prior written consent. The Pledge Agreement may be terminated only upon the written agreement from the parties.

D. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

We operate out of the office located at 3/F, Borough A, Block A, No. 181 South Taibai Road in Xi’an. We own our office space, which covers a floor space of 3,022.94 square meters.

Revenue

We are a China-based developer and provider of mobile enterprise solutions. We generate revenue in two ways, from customized software middleware and applications for various public and private service agencies, which we identify as software solution sales, and from packaged solutions that include both software and hardware in automation telematics for clients mainly in the manufacturing sector, which we identify as wireless system solution sales. In the year ended September 30, 2015, although we experienced a significant contraction in our software solution business and our wireless system solution business, we recognized a large amount of revenue from Jingbian Project which was completed by the end of 2014. Thereafter our revenue increased by 42.6% to approximately $8.8 million in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $6.2 million in the year ended September 30, 2014.

Our revenue from software solution sales decreased by 27.3% to approximately $0.14 million in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $0.19 million in the year ended September 30, 2014. As a percentage of total revenue, software solution sales decreased from 3.0% to 1.5%.

Our revenue from wireless system solution sales increased by 44.7% to approximately $8.7 million in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $6.0 million in the year ended September 30, 2014. As a percentage of total revenue, wireless system solution revenue increased from 97.0% to 98.5% of our total revenue.

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales increased by 33.1% to approximately $5.6 million in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $4.2 million in the year ended September 30, 2014. The increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue from wireless system solution. As a percentage of our total revenues, our cost of sales decreased to 63.7% of revenues in the year ended September 30, 2015 from 68.3% of our total revenues in the year ended September 30, 2014, which is partially attributable to the fact that the projects the Company had worked with old clients and therefore made our work more efficient.

Cost of sales for software decreased by 40.8% to approximately $0.06 million in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $0.1 million in the year ended September 30, 2014, representing 1.1% and 2.5% of our total cost of sales and 44.9% and 55.1% of our software revenue in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Cost of sales for wireless system solutions increased by 34.9% to approximately $5.6 million in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $4.1 million in the year ended September 30, 2014, representing 98.9% and 97.5% of total cost of sales and 64.0% and 68.7% of wireless system solution revenues in the fiscal years ended September 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Our total gross profit increased by 63.0% to approximately $3.2 million gross profit in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $2.0 million loss in the year ended September 30, 2014. Our total gross margin was 36.3% and 31.7% in the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 of total revenue, respectively. This increase of gross profit and gross margin was primarily due to the increase in industry profit and profit margin and revenue from Jingbian integration project that was partially recognized in the last fiscal year as of September 30, 2015.

Our gross profit for software solution sales decreased by 10.7% to approximately $75,000 in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $84,000 in the year ended September 30, 2014. Our gross margin for software solutions sales increased to 55.1% in the year ended September 30, 2015 from 44.9% in the year ended September 30, 2014. This increase of gross margin was primarily due to the increase of system maintenance contract with less R&D expense. Our gross profit for wireless system solution sales increased by 66.3% to approximately $3.1 million in the year ended September 30, 2015 from approximately $1.9 million in the year ended September 30, 2014. Our gross margin for wireless system solution sales increased to 36.0% in the year ended September 30, 2015 from 31.3% in the year ended September 30, 2014, which is partially attributable to the higher margin of some of the wireless projects. The increase in gross margins in both of our business sections above was due to the fact we had higher gross margin projects and smaller up-front investments with old customers comparing to the last fiscal year.

Operating Expenses

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Our selling and marketing expenses decreased by 58.0% to approximately $0.2 million in fiscal year 2015 from approximately $0.4 million in fiscal year 2014, and represented 1.7% and 5.9% of our revenue for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Selling and marketing expenses consisted primarily of compensation and benefit expenses relating to our sales and marketing personnel, travel and communication expenses, and selling and marketing-related office expenses. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was a direct result of the Company’s cost-control decision to reduce the related marketing and traveling expenses coping with the depressing software solution market. The lower demand for software solutions products is caused by the fact that most of our clients in our business sectors are government sponsored companies. With the macro-policy in China that controls the spending budgets in governmental agencies, fewer clients in such nature were inclined to buy value-added software solutions.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses increased by 72.9% to approximately $3.4 million in fiscal year 2015 from approximately $1.9 million in fiscal year 2014, and represented 38.0% and 31.4% of our revenue for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefit expenses relating to personnel other than our engineers and our sales and marketing team, depreciation and amortization expenses and overhead expenses. General and administrative expenses also include legal and other professional fees, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous administrative costs. The significant increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to the increased bad debt expense. Bad debt expenses increased due to the write-off of certain receivables, which are more than three years old and are evaluated by management to be non-collectable because the customers are unable to pay due to their poor operations.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses increased by 42.6% to approximately $0.3 million in fiscal year 2015 from approximately $0.2 million in fiscal year 2014, and represented 3.3% and 3.3% of our revenue for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefit expenses relating to engineers in our research and development center, materials cost in research and development activities relating to our research and development center. The increase in research and development expenses was mainly due to the increased labor cost of R&D staffs that the Company invested for industrial competition.

Loss From Operations

We incurred a loss of $0.6 million in the year ended September 30, 2015, a 9.8% increase in such a loss from approximately loss of $0.5 million in the year ended September 30, 2014. The increase in loss from operations was mainly due to significantly higher general and administrative expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

Our other income increased by 199.8% to approximately $1.6 million in fiscal year 2015 from approximately $0.5 million in fiscal year 2014, and represented 18.4% and 8.2% of our revenue for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in our other income was largely due to our rental income. In April 2008, we purchased an approximately 20,000 square meter six-story warehouse and industrial facility in Xi’an, which we named the “Kingtone Center”. On October 28, 2013, the Company signed a lease agreement with Xi’an Zhongde Orthopedics Hospital Co., Ltd. (“Zhongde”) with rental period from July 1, 2014 to February 28, 2033. According to the lease agreement, the Company shall lease “Kingtone Center” to Zhongde with a monthly rent of approximately $0.1 million from July 1, 2014 till February 28, 2033. The rent will have an incremental 2 percent increase year over year during the next following years. We had approximately $1.2 million rental income from Zhongde for the year ended September 30, 2015.

Net Income (Loss)

We incurred a net income of $1.0 million in the year ended September 30, 2015 as compared to net loss of approximately $1,000 in the year ended September 30, 2014. Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.73 in the year ended September 30, 2015, compared to loss per share $0 in the prior year period. The number of weighted average ordinary shares outstanding was 1,405,000 for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Revenue

We are a China-based developer and provider of mobile enterprise solutions. We generate revenue in two ways, from customized software middleware and applications for various public and private service agencies, which we identify as software solution sales, and from packaged solutions that include both software and hardware in automation telematics for clients mainly in the manufacturing sector, which we identify as wireless system solution sales. In the year ended September 30, 2014, we experienced a significant contraction in our software solution business and our wireless system solution business. Thereafter, our revenue decreased by 46.5% to approximately $6.2 million in the year ended September 30, 2014 from approximately $11.6 million in the year ended September 30, 2013.

Our revenue from software solution sales decreased by 35.7% to approximately $0.2 million in the year ended September 30, 2014 from approximately $0.3 million in the year ended September 30, 2013. As a percentage of total revenue, software solution sales increased from 2.5% to 3.0%.

Our revenue from wireless system solution sales decreased by 46.8% to approximately $6.0 million in the year ended September 30, 2014 from approximately $11.3 million in the year ended September 30, 2013. As a percentage of total revenue, wireless system solution revenue decreased from 97.5% to 97.0% of our total revenue. This decreased was insignificant.

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales decreased by 60.0% to approximately $4.2 million in the year ended September 30, 2014 from approximately $10.5 million in the year ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue from both of our business sections. As a percentage of our total revenues, our cost of sales decreased to 68.3% of revenues in the year ended September 30, 2014 from 91.2% of our total revenues in the year ended September 30, 2013, which is partially attributable to the fact that the projects the Company had worked on were with old clients and therefore made our work more efficient.

Cost of sales for software decreased by 81.9% to approximately $0.1 million in the year ended September 30, 2014 from approximately $0.5 million in the year ended September 30, 2013, representing 2.5% and 5.4% of our total cost of sales and 55.1% and 195.2% of our software revenue in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Cost of sales for wireless system solutions decreased by 58.7% to approximately $4.1 million in the year ended September 30, 2014 from approximately $10.0 million in the year ended September 30, 2013, representing 97.5% and 94.6% of total cost of sales and 68.7% and 88.5% of wireless system solution revenues in the fiscal years ended September 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decreased percentage of cost of sales in our both business sections from September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2014 was mainly due to the decrease in revenue.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Our total gross profit increased by 92.9% to approximately $1.96 million gross profit in the year ended September 30, 2014 from approximately $1.02 million loss in the year ended September 30, 2013. Our total gross margin was 31.7% and 8.8% in the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 of total revenue, respectively. This increase of gross profit and gross margin was primarily due to the increase in industry profit and profit margin and revenue from Jingbian integration project that was partially recognized in the last fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.

Our gross profit for software solution sales increased by 69.7% to approximately $0.08 million in the year ended September 30, 2014 from approximately $0.3 million loss in the year ended September 30, 2013. Our gross margin for software solutions sales increased to 44.9% in the year ended September 30, 2014 from negative 95.2% in the year ended September 30, 2013. Our gross profit for wireless system solution sales increased by 45.2% to approximately $1.9 million in the year ended September 30, 2014 from approximately $1.3 million in the year ended September 30, 2013. Our gross margin for wireless system solution sales increased to 31.3% in the year ended September 30, 2014 from 11.5% in the year ended September 30, 2013, which is partially attributable to the higher margin of some of the wireless projects. The increase in gross margins in both of our business sections above was due to the fact we had higher gross margin projects and smaller up-front investments with old customers comparing to the last fiscal year.

Operating Expenses

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Our selling and marketing expenses decreased by 34.6% to approximately $0.4 million in fiscal year 2014 from approximately $0.6 million in fiscal year 2013, and represented 5.9% and 4.8% of our revenue for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Selling and marketing expenses consisted primarily of compensation and benefit expenses relating to our sales and marketing personnel, travel and communication expenses, and selling and marketing-related office expenses. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was a direct result of the Company’s cost-control decision to reduce the related marketing and traveling expenses coping with the depressing software solution market. The lower demand for software solutions products is caused by the fact that most of our clients in our business sectors are government sponsored companies. With the macro-policy in China that controls the spending budgets in governmental agencies, fewer clients in such nature were inclined to buy value-added software solutions.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses decreased by 30.8% to approximately $1.9 million in fiscal year 2014 from approximately $2.8 million in fiscal year 2013, and represented 31.4% and 24.3% of our revenue for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefit expenses relating to personnel other than our engineers and our sales and marketing team, depreciation and amortization expenses and overhead expenses. General and administrative expenses also include legal and other professional fees, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous administrative costs. The significant decrease in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to the decreased bad debt expense and labor cost.

Research and Development Expenses

Our research and development expenses decreased by 18.9% to approximately $0.20 million in fiscal year 2014 from approximately $0.25 million in fiscal year 2013, and represented 3.3% and 2.2% of our revenue for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefit expenses relating to engineers in our research and development center, materials cost in research and development activities relating to our research and development center. The decrease in research and development expenses was mainly due to the reduction of the number of R&D staffs.

Loss From Operations

We incurred a loss of $0.5 million in the year ended September 30, 2014, a 79.1% decrease in such a loss from approximately loss of $2.6 million in the year ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in loss from operations was mainly due to significantly higher gross profit from wireless system solutions business compounded by decreased operating expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

Our other income increased by 143.3% to approximately $0.5 million in fiscal year 2014 from approximately $1.2 million of other expense in fiscal year 2013, and represented 8.2% and 10.2% of our revenue for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in our other income was largely due to our rental income. In April 2008, we purchased an approximately 20,000 square meter six-story warehouse and industrial facility in Xi’an, which we named the “Kingtone Center”. On October 28, 2013, the Company signed a lease agreement with Xi’an Zhongde Orthopedics Hospital Co., Ltd. (“Zhongde”). According to the lease agreement, the Company shall lease “Kingtone Center” to Zhongde with a monthly rent of approximately $0.1 million from July 1, 2014 till February 28, 2033. The rent will have an incremental 2 percent increase year over year during the next following years.

As a US listed company, the Company is in need of US dollar to cover oversea expenses. Since State Administration of Foreign Exchange in China imposes restrictions on the remittance of currency out of China, Topsky and Kingtone Information entered into a loan and guarantee agreement on July 21, 2011 with an unrelated third party to have Topsky borrow US$3 million to cover overseas expenses and take RMB27.9 million, or US$4.2 million from Kingtone Information as a guarantee. The offset amount US$1.2 million was presented as long-term other receivables in the anticipation that the agreement would be settled in two years. The loan matured on July 21, 2013 and the long-term receivable was non-collectable. As a result, we have written off the balance of the long-term receivable and charged to other expense for the year ended September 30, 2013.

Net Loss

We incurred a net loss of $1,000 in the year ended September 30, 2014 as compared to net loss of approximately $5.1 million in the year ended September 30, 2013, representing a decrease of 99.9%. Basic and diluted loss per share was $0 in the year ended September 30, 2014, compared to loss per share $3.65 in the prior year period. The number of weighted average ordinary shares outstanding was 1,405,000 for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Working Capital

As of September 30, 2015, we had a working capital of approximately $4.2 million, including cash of approximately $2.7 million. The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flow for the periods indicated:

	For the Years Ended September 30,
	2015			2014			2013
	($ in Thousands)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	2,366		$	258		$	(391	)

Cash and cash equivalents, end of year		2,743			4,166			6,132

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $2.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $0.3 million net cash provided by operating activities the year ended September 30, 2014. During 2015, the Company had a net income of $1.0 million, depreciation and amortization of $0.6 million. In addition, inventory decreased by $2 million and unbilled revenue decreased by $5 million as a result of most of projects in final stage of completion and the Company hasn’t signed any new projects. This was partially offset by a decrease in advances from customers of $7.9 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended September 30, 2015 was approximately $1,000 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of approximately $137,000 for the year ended September 30, 2014. The cash provided by investing activities in 2015 was mainly due to proceed from disposal of office equipment. The cash used in investing activities in 2014 was mainly due to purchasing certain property and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities during the fiscal year of 2015 was approximately $3.7 million as compared to $2.1 million net cash used in financing activities for the fiscal year of 2014. The increase is due to the loan to related parties.

As a result of the total cash activities, our net cash decreased to approximately $1.4 million from September 30, 2014 to September 30, 2015 and to approximately $2.0 million from September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2014.

Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in China incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. Also, our PRC subsidiaries must file the board resolutions authorizing the payment of dividends, the capital verification report of our PRC subsidiaries, the audit report issued by a certified public accountant company and other required materials to the banks entrusted by the local foreign exchange bureau for the examination of the remittance of the dividend. Our PRC subsidiaries can only remit dividends to us after passing the examination. Such examination requirement may limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends to us which may limit our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. If we are unable to pay dividends to our shareholders, our ability to secure equity financing in the future may be adversely affected.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2015, we did not have any contractual obligations required to be disclosed.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest expense incurred as a result of short-term bank loans maturing within 12 months. We have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest risk exposure. We carry refinancing risk related to short-term interest-bearing loans. We have not been exposed nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, our future interest expense may be higher than expected due to changes in market interest rates.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Translation adjustments amounted to $0.7 million loss, $0.04 million loss and $0.6 million gain for years ended September 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at September 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 at RMB 6.3638, RMB 6.1547 and RMB 6.1439 to $1.00, respectively. We stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the years ended September 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were RMB 6.1648, RMB 6.1425 and RMB 6.2363 to $1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stable exchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. We do not anticipate material translation adjustments due to large fluctuations in exchange rates between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. However, our future translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchange rate.

The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capital account transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from or lending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to be approved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. Kingtone Information has not conducted any foreign currency transactions during prior fiscal years since its inception. Softech had not conducted any foreign currency transactions except for converting a relevantly small amount of foreign currency into RMB as registered capital pursuant to PRC regulations. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuously finance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit our ability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC, therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excess cash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct cross-border cash management activities to optimize the utilization of our cash.

Inflation

Although China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, Chinese consumer price index in December 2012 was 2.5% higher than that of the same period in 2011. The consumer price index increased by 2.6% from January to December 2012. In 2013, the average consumer price index increase rate was 2.6%. In 2014, the average consumer price index increased rate was 2.0%. In 2015, the average consumer price index increased rate was 1.5%. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likely impact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. An accounting policy is considered critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time such estimate is made, and if different accounting estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and other disclosures included in this annual report.

Revenue recognition

Revenues consist primarily of sales of wireless system solutions and software solutions contracts. We recognize revenue when (1) pervasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred and customer acceptance is reasonably assured, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is probable.

Revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements requires judgment to determine if multiple elements exist, whether elements can be accounted for as separate units of accounting, and if so, the fair value for each of the elements. Software updates are evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine whether they meet the definition of an upgrade, which may require revenue to be deferred and recognized when the upgrade is delivered. If it is determined that implied post-contract customer support (“PCS”) is being provided, revenue from the arrangement is deferred and recognized over the implied PCS term. If updates are determined to not meet the definition of an upgrade, revenue is generally recognized as products are shipped or made available. Company enters into arrangements that can include various combinations of software, services, and hardware. Where elements are delivered over different periods of time, and when allowed under U.S. GAAP, revenue is allocated to the respective elements based on their relative selling prices at the inception of the arrangement, and revenue is recognized as each element is delivered. We use a hierarchy to determine the fair value to be used for allocating revenue to elements: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”), (ii) third-party evidence, and (iii) best estimate of selling price (“ESP”). For software elements, we follow the industry specific software guidance which only allows for the use of VSOE in establishing fair value. Generally, VSOE is the price charged when the deliverable is sold separately or the price established by management for a product that is not yet sold if it is probable that the price will not change before introduction into the marketplace. ESPs are established as best estimates of what the selling prices would be if the deliverables were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. Our process for determining ESPs requires judgment and considers multiple factors that may vary over time depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable.

If an arrangement contains multiple elements and does not qualify for separate accounting for the product and service transactions, then new software licenses revenues and/or hardware systems products revenues, including the costs of hardware systems products, are generally recognized together with the services based on contract accounting using either the percentage-of-completion or completed-contract method. The percentage-of-completion method should be used when we have the ability to make reasonably dependable estimates of total contract revenues, total contract costs and the extent of progress toward completion of the contract. If a contract is accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method, costs are recognized in proportion to the amount of revenue recognized, such that a constant gross margin percentage is recognized during the life of the contract. We apply the percentage-of-completion method of contract accounting and utilize labor hours to measures progress toward completion of the installation effort. If reliable estimates of the extent of progress toward completion of a contract, contract revenues or contract costs cannot be made, the completed-contract method of contract accounting should be used. If the completed-contract method of accounting is used, costs are accumulated on the balance sheet and recognized when the contact is complete and the associated revenue recognized.

Contract accounting is applied to any bundled software, hardware systems and services arrangements that include milestones or customer specific acceptance criteria that may affect collection of the software or hardware systems product fees. For the purposes of revenue classification of the elements that are accounted for as a single unit of accounting, we allocate revenues to software or hardware systems product or services based on a rational and consistent methodology utilizing our best estimate of the relative selling price of such elements.

Provided unapproved change orders or claims occur in the future, in accounting for contracts, we follow ASC No. 605-35. We will recognize revenues associated with unapproved change orders or claims to the extent it is probable that such claims and change orders will result in additional contract revenue, and the amount of such additional revenue can be reliably estimated. Contract losses are provided in their entirety in the period that they become known, without regard to the percentage-of-completion. However, we have not experienced significant unapproved change orders in the past.

The software contracts generally provide for post-contract customer support (“PCS”) for a period of one year from delivery of the software. The value of PCS revenue is not separately reported and is accounted for as part of the entire fee under the contract accounting methods described above since the PCS meets the criteria specified in ASC No. 985-605-25-71 as follows:

PCS is included in the total contract price;

PCS is for one year or less;

estimated costs are insignificant;

upgrades and enhancements during the PCS term have historically been and are expected to continue to be minimal and infrequent; and

the contract does not include any service elements that are accounted for separately.

All other services are provided under separate agreements and fee arrangements and the related revenue is recognized over the period the services are provided.

We present all sales revenue net of a value-added tax (“VAT”).

The Company recognizes revenue using the fair value of the software and service by reference to the retail market price of the software and service. These revenues are recorded as “Software Revenue”.

Cost of sales

When the criteria for revenue recognition have been met, costs incurred are recognized as cost of sales. Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) primarily includes the cost of the hardware purchased from the third parties, direct labor, materials and the applicable share of overhead expense directly related to the execution of services and delivery of projects.

The Company's PRC subsidiary and VIE are subject to business tax on revenues related to certain types of services at various rates. Business tax on revenues earned from provision of services to customers is recorded as an additional item to cost of sales in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized.

Accounts and notes receivable

Accounts and notes receivable are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts as needed. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on aging data, historical collection experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company did not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, finished goods, and project-in-progress, which include the direct labor, direct materials and overhead costs related to projects. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using first in first out method.

Where there is evidence that the market value of inventories, in their disposal in the ordinary course of business, will be less than cost, whether due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes, the carrying value of inventories will be written down.

Share-based compensation

Share options granted to employees and independent directors are accounted for under ASC 718, "Share-Based Payment". In accordance with ASC 718, the Company determines whether a share option should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or an equity award. All grants of share options to employees classified as equity awards are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. All grants of share options to employees classified as liability awards are re-measured at the end of each reporting period with an adjustment for fair value recorded to the current period expense in order to properly reflect the cumulative expense based on the current fair value of the vested options over the vesting period. The Company has elected to recognize compensation expenses using the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) option-pricing model estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis for each separately vesting portion of the award (the graded vesting attribution method).

Restricted stock units (RSUs) are measured based on the fair market values of the underlying stock on the dates of grant. Shares are issued on the vesting dates net of the statutory withholding requirements to be paid by us on behalf of our employees. As a result, the actual number of shares issued will be fewer than the actual number of RSUs outstanding. Also, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation using the graded vesting attribution method.

The Company records share-based compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees in exchange for services at fair value in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, "Equity based payment to non-employees”. For the awards granted to non-employees, the Company will record compensation expenses equal to the fair value of the share at the measurement date, which is determined to be the earlier of the performance commitment date or the service completion date.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company applies the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 360-10 “Property, plant and equipment”, ASC NO. 360 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

The Company tests long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to periodic amortization, for recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-9, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity should disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. For a public entity, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)”. In connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In January 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-01, Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual items (Subtopic 225-20), Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items (ASU 2015-01). The amendment eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Early adoption is permitted and allows the Company to apply the amendment prospectively or retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. This amendment provides guidance on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). ASU 2015-02 is effective for periods beginning December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted.

In August, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. The amendment defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities for one year. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 will now apply to public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans from annual reporting periods beginning December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods after December 31, 2016, including interim reporting periods with that reporting period.

In September, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805). ASU No. 2015-16 requires that an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts, the amendments in the Update require that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition an entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The adoption of ASU 2015-016 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

D. TREND INFORMATION.

Industry and Market Outlook

China has awarded licenses to mobile phone companies to provide the superfast 4G network to customers. The licenses, which are designed to give mobile phone users faster access to services, were granted by the government to China Mobile, China Unicom Hong Kong and China Telecom. Since China Mobile offered 4G to subscribers from December 18, 2013, it was followed by China Unicom and China Telecom, the country's other two major carriers. China Mobile 4G customers have exceeded 250 million by the end of October 2015. The move greatly boosted business for telecom equipment makers and a range of other companies.

Under China’s 12th Five-Year Plan, a key priority is for China to transition from “Made in China” to “Designed in China.” In order to achieve this goal, the government plans to heavily invest in science and technology education and R&D so as to further develop China’s intellectual property rights system and support “Next-Generation IT” as a Strategic Emerging Industry (SEI). Additionally, China plans to upgrade the technological capabilities of private and public services, including “triple play” services (the convergence of telecom, broadcasting and Internet networks), ecommerce, and e-government and statistics systems. Furthermore, the government plans to invest in R&D of the "Internet of things" and cloud computing, and develop digital and virtual technologies.

E. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity, or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, except for the mortgage referenced above, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity.

2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan

A description of the provisions of our 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) is set forth below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the detailed provisions of the Incentive Plan, which was included as an exhibit to our initial registration statement on Form F-1 filed on April 13, 2010.

In April 2010, our board of directors and our shareholders approved and adopted the Incentive Plan, reserving 1,500,000 ordinary shares for future issuances thereunder. The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to attract and to encourage the continued employment and service of, and maximum efforts by, our officers, key employees and other key individuals by offering those persons an opportunity to acquire or increase a direct proprietary interest in our operations and future success. As of September 30, 2015, we had outstanding under the Incentive Plan the equity awards set forth in the table above.

Administration

The Incentive Plan is administered by our board of directors, or at the discretion of the board, by our compensation committee. Our board of directors has delegated authority to our compensation committee to administer the Incentive Plan. Subject to the terms of the Incentive Plan, the compensation committee may select participants to receive awards, determine the types of awards and terms and conditions of awards, and interpret provisions of the Incentive Plan.

The ordinary shares issued or to be issued under the Incentive Plan consist of authorized but unissued shares. If any ordinary shares covered by an award are not purchased or are forfeited, or if an award otherwise terminates without delivery of any ordinary shares, then the number of ordinary shares counted against the aggregate number of ordinary shares available under the plan with respect to the award will, to the extent of any such forfeiture or termination, again be available for making awards under the Incentive Plan.

Eligibility

Awards may be made under the Incentive Plan to our employees, officers, directors, consultants or advisers or to any of our affiliates, and to any other individual whose participation in the Incentive Plan is determined to be in our best interests by our board of directors.

Amendment or Termination of the Plan

Our board of directors may terminate or amend the Incentive Plan at any time and for any reason. No amendment, however, may adversely impair the rights of grantees with respect to outstanding awards. The Incentive Plan has a term of ten years. Amendments will be submitted for shareholder approval to the extent required by applicable stock exchange listing requirements or other applicable laws.

Options

The Incentive Plan permits the granting of options to purchase ordinary shares intended to qualify as incentive share options under the Internal Revenue Code and share options that do not qualify as incentive share options, or non-qualified share options.

The exercise price of each share option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our ADSs representing ordinary shares on the date of grant. In the case of certain 10% shareholders who receive incentive share options, the exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of our ADSs representing ordinary shares on the date of grant. An exception to these requirements is made for options that we grant in substitution for options held by employees of companies that we acquire. In such a case the exercise price is adjusted to preserve the economic value of the employee’s share option from his or her former employer.

The term of each share option is fixed by the compensation committee and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The compensation committee determines at what time or times each option may be exercised and the period of time, if any, after retirement, death, disability or termination of employment during which options may be exercised.

Options may be made exercisable in installments. The award agreement provides the vesting of the options. Exercisability of options may be accelerated by the compensation committee.

In general, an optionee may pay the exercise price of an option by (1) cash or check (in U.S. dollars or Renminbi or other local currency as approved by the compensation committee), (2) ordinary shares held for such period of time as may be required by the compensation committee, (3) delivery of a notice of a market order with a broker with respect to ordinary shares then issuable upon exercise of an option, and that the broker has been directed to pay us a sufficient portion of net proceeds of the sale in satisfaction of the exercise price, provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to us upon settlement of such sale, (4) other property acceptable to the compensation committee with a fair market value equal to the exercise price, (5) cashless exercise or (6) any combination of the foregoing.

Share options granted under the Incentive Plan may not be sold, transferred, pledged, or assigned other than by will or under applicable laws of descent and distribution. However, we may permit limited transfers of non-qualified options for the benefit of immediate family members of grantees to help with estate planning concerns or pursuant to a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights.

Other Awards

The compensation committee may also award under the Incentive Plan:

1.	ordinary shares subject to restrictions;
2.	deferred ordinary shares, credited as deferred ordinary share units, but ultimately payable in the form of unrestricted ordinary shares in accordance with the terms of the grant or with the participant’s deferral election;

3.	ordinary share units subject to restrictions;
4.	unrestricted ordinary shares, which are ordinary shares issued at no cost or for a purchase price determined by the compensation committee which are free from any restrictions under the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan;
5.	dividend equivalent rights entitling the grantee to receive credits for dividends that would be paid if the grantee had held a specified number of ordinary shares; or
6.	a right to receive a number of ordinary shares or, in the discretion of the compensation committee, an amount in cash or a combination of ordinary shares and cash, based on the increase in the fair market value of the ADSs representing ordinary shares underlying the right during a stated period specified by the compensation committee.

Effect of Certain Corporate Transactions

Certain change of control transactions involving us may cause awards granted under the Incentive Plan to vest, unless the awards are continued or substituted for by the surviving company in connection with the corporate transaction.

Unless otherwise provided in the appropriate option agreement on the date of grant or provided by our board of directors thereafter with the consent of the grantee, options granted under the Incentive Plan become exercisable in full following (1) a dissolution of our company or a merger, consolidation or reorganization of our company with one or more other entities in which we are not the surviving entity, (2) a sale of substantially all of our assets to another person or entity, or (3) any transaction (including without limitation a merger or reorganization in which we are the surviving entity) which results in any person or entity owning 50% or more of the combined voting power of all classes of our shares.

Adjustments for Dividends and Similar Events

The compensation committee will make appropriate adjustments in outstanding awards and the number of ordinary shares available for issuance under the Incentive Plan, including the individual limitations on awards, to reflect ordinary share dividends, stock splits and other similar events.

Regulations of the Software Industry

The software industry in the PRC is regulated pursuant to two primary policies — the Measures Concerning Software Products Administration (the “Software Products Measures”) and the Recognition Standard and Management measures of Software Enterprises (the “Standards and Measures”). As further discussed below, Kingtone Information as a registered software enterprise with registered software products can take advantage of certain favorable tax, investment, government and other programs and policies that are designed to encourage development of the software industry in the PRC.

Software Products Registration and Administration

On March 1, 2009, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China (the “MIIT”) promulgated the Software Products Measures which became effective on April 10, 2009. Under the Software Products Measures, software products developed in China (including those developed in China on the basis of imported software) can enjoy certain favorable policies when the products have been registered and recorded pursuant to the “Certain Policies to Encourage the Development of Software and Integrated Circuit Industries” issued by the State Council on June 24, 2000 (the “2000 Software Encouragement Policies”). Kingtone Information has registered its software products, including its “Wireless emergency command and management system V1.0,” with the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Information Technology through Kingtone Information. Please refer to the specific favorable policies under the sub-section below entitled “Policies to Encourage the Development of Software and Integrated Circuit Industries.”

Software Enterprise Registration and Administration

On October 16, 2000, the Ministry of Information Industry, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau issued the “Standard and Measures” to encourage the development of the software industry in China and to enhance the competitiveness of the PRC information technology industry in the international market. The Standard and Measures provide strict conditions and standards, including but not limited to, the requirement of ownership of the software products, technical employees proportion, independent software technology and product research to recognize a company as a “software enterprise”. Such recognized software enterprises can enjoy the favorable policies pursuant to the 2000 Software Encouragement Policies. Kingtone Information has been recognized as a software enterprise since January 6, 2009. A software enterprise is subject to annual inspection, failure of which in a given year shall cause the enterprise to be disqualified for the relevant benefits.

Policies to Encourage the Development of Software and Integrated Circuit Industries

The 2000 Software Encouragement Policies encourage the development of the software and integrated circuit industries in China and to enhance the competitiveness of the PRC information technology industry in the international market. The 2000 Software Encouragement Policies encourage such development through various methods, including:

• Encouraging venture capital investment in the software industry and providing or assisting software enterprises to raise capital overseas;

• Providing tax incentives, including an immediate tax rebate for taxpayers who sell self-developed software products, before 2010, of the amount of the statutory value-added tax that exceeds 3% and a number of exemptions and reduced enterprise income tax rates;

• Providing government support, such as government funding in the development of software technology;

• Providing preferential treatment, such as credit facilities with low interest rates to enterprises that export software products;

• Taking various strategies to ensure that the software industry has sufficient expertise; and

• Implementing measures to enhance intellectual property protection in China.

As discussed above, to qualify for favorable treatment, an enterprise must be recognized as a software enterprise by governmental authorities and must have registered software products. Because Kingtone Information is recognized as a software enterprise, it can enjoy the above favorable policies. For example, Kingtone Information currently receives an immediate tax rebate on the sale of software products that it creates equal to the amount of the statutory value-added tax that exceeds 3%.

Relevant Laws and Regulations of the Computer Information System

Management Measures on the Computer Information System Integration

On February 13, 2001, the MIIT promulgated the Management Measures on the Computer Information System Integration Qualification (trial) or the Management Measures, which commenced to be enforced on February 13, 2001. The Management Measures provide that enterprises involved in providing the computer information system integration services shall apply for the qualification recognition to the MIIT or its provincial branch pursuant to the conditions required in the Management Measures and obtain the qualification certificate to provide information system integration service. The computer information system integration means the engagement in the overall plan, design, development, execution, protection of the computer application system projects and network system projects. Kingtone Information has obtained the computer information system integration certificate and we are qualified to provide the computer information system integration services.

Regulations for Safety Protection of Computer Information System

The State Security Bureau of PRC issued the “Administration of the Maintenance of Secrets in the International Networking of Computer Information Systems Provisions of the People’s Republic of China” to protect the safety of national secrets on January 25, 2000. Under the Administration, computer systems that contain information that is considered to be national secrets are forbidden to directly or indirectly connect to international or other public information networks. The State Security Bureau of PRC and its branch handle the secret maintenance work of the international networking of computer information systems. The company has the obligation to safeguard the national secrets of governmental authorities that it learns through the company’s services to such governmental authorities.

Relevant Regulations of the High-tech Enterprise

The Ministry of Information Industry, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau collectively promulgated and issued the “Certifying Standard and Managing Measures for High-tech Enterprises” and “the High-tech Areas of Main National Support ” on April 14, 2008 to certify the High-tech enterprise and encourage and support the development of the Chinese High-tech enterprises. Under the High-tech Enterprises Measures, the enterprise can enjoy the favorable tax policy when it is certified as a High-tech enterprise by the Ministry of Information Industry, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State Tax Bureau or with its provincial branch according to the stipulated standard. The software and computer and network technology are recognized as the main national supported High-tech field. Kingtone Information is a High-tech enterprise and enjoys a favorable income tax rate of 15%.

Laws and Regulations of Intellectual Property Rights

China has adopted legislation governing intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights and trademarks. China is a signatory to the main international conventions on intellectual property rights and became a member of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights upon its accession to the WTO in December 2001.

Patents

The “Patent Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, adopted in 1985 and revised in 1992, 2001 and 2008, protects registered patents. The State Intellectual Property Office of PRC handles granting patent rights, providing for a twenty-year patent term for inventions and a ten-year patent term for utility models and designs. As we disclosed in Item 4, of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, through Kingtone Information, we have been granted one invention patent “wireless video transmission system based on BREW platform” by the State Intellectual Property Office (“SIPO”) of PRC on September 23, 2009 and therefore such invention is entitled to all the protections provided under the Patent Law for twenty years.

Computer Software Copyright and Administration

On December 20, 2001, the State Council of PRC issued the “Regulation for Computer Software Protection of the People’s Republic of China” (the “Regulation for Computer Software Protection”) which became effective on January 1, 2002 to protect the interests of copyright owners, to promote the research and application and to encourage the development of the Chinese software industry. Under the Regulation for Computer Software Protection, natural persons, legal persons or any other organizations shall have a copyright on the software developed by such persons no matter whether such software has been published. The protection period of software copyrights owned by the legal person or other organization is fifty years and expires on December 31 of the fiftieth year from the initial publication date of such computer software. Currently, Kingtone Information has twelve registration certificates for software copyrights.

Trademarks

The “Trademark Law of the People’s Republic of China” promulgated by the State Council of PRC, adopted in 1982 and revised in 1993 and 2001, protects registered trademarks. The Trademark Office under the Chinese State Administration for Industry and Commerce handles trademark registrations and grants a term of ten years to registered trademarks which are renewable for another ten years after the application to the Trademark Office by the owners of the trademarks. Trademark license agreements must be filed with the Trademark Office for record. China has a “first-to-register” system that requires no evidence of prior use or ownership. Kingtone Information has its registered trademarks as described in Item 4 of this Annual Report on Form 20-F. Accordingly, such trademarks are entitled to the protection under the Trademark Law.

Foreign Currency Exchange

On August 29, 2008, the SAFE issued the Notice of the General Affairs Department of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the Relevant Operating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-funded Enterprises, or Circular 142. Pursuant to Circular 142, RMB converted from the foreign currency-denominated capital of a foreign-invested company may only be used for purposes within the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specifically provided for otherwise. The use of such Renminbi capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval and may not in any case be used to repay Renminbi loans if the proceeds of such loans have not been used.

See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC operating subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business”.

Dividend Distribution

We are a British Virgin Islands holding company and substantially all of our operations are conducted through Kingtone Information. We rely on dividends and other distributions from our PRC subsidiary and Kingtone Information to provide us with our cash flow and allow us to pay dividends on the shares underlying our ADSs and meet our other obligations. The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreign-owned enterprises include:

1.	Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; and

2.	Implementation Rules on Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise Law (1990), as amended.

Under these regulations, wholly foreign-owned enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, wholly foreign-owned enterprises in China are required to set aside at least 10% of their after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of a FIE has the discretion to allocate a portion of its after-tax profits to staff welfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.

Regulation of Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore Transactions

In October 2005, the SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fund-raising and Return Investment Activities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or SAFE Notice 75, which became effective as of November 1, 2005, and was further supplemented by two implementation notices issued by the SAFE on November 24, 2005 and May 29, 2007, respectively. Under Circular 75, prior registration with the local SAFE branch is required for PRC residents to establish or to control an offshore company for the purposes of financing that offshore company with assets or equity interests in an onshore enterprise located in the PRC. An amendment to the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch by such PRC resident is also required for the injection of equity interests or assets of an onshore enterprise in the offshore company or overseas funds raised by such offshore company, or any other material change with respect to the offshore company in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, division, equity investment, debt investment, or creation of any security interest over any assets located in the PRC.

Under SAFE Notice 75, PRC residents are further required to repatriate into the PRC all of their dividends, profits or capital gains obtained from their shareholdings in the offshore entity within 180 days of their receipt of such dividends, profits or capital gains. The registration and filing procedures under SAFE Notice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments or shareholders loans, or capital outflow to the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds, or the return of funds upon a capital reduction. Therefore, failure to comply with such registration may subject us to certain restrictions on, including but not limited to, the increase of the registered capital of our PRC subsidiary, making loans to our PRC subsidiary, and making distributions to us from our on-shore companies.

Regulations of Overseas Investments and Listings

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the MOFCOM, the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the State Administration for Taxation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the CSRC and the SAFE, jointly adopted the New M&A Rule, which became effective on September 8, 2006. This regulation, among other things, includes provisions that purport to require that an offshore SPV formed for purposes of overseas listing of equity interests in PRC companies and controlled directly or indirectly by PRC companies or individuals obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such SPV’s securities on an overseas stock exchange.

On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published on its official website procedures regarding its approval of overseas listings by SPVs. The CSRC approval procedures require the filing of a number of documents with the CSRC and it would take several months to complete the approval process.

The application of the New M&A Rule with respect to overseas listings of SPVs remains unclear with no consensus currently existing among the leading PRC law firms regarding the scope of the applicability of the CSRC approval requirement.

We believe that, based on our understanding of the current PRC laws, regulations and rules and the procedures announced on September 21, 2006, there is no requirement in this regulation that would require an application to be submitted to the MOFCOM or the CSRC for the approval of the listing and trading of our ADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — If we were required to obtain the prior approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, of the listing and trading of our ADSs on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies.”

E. TAXATION

The following discussion sets forth the material British Virgin Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs and the ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, sometimes referred to collectively as the “securities”. It is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this report, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in the securities, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. As used in this discussion, “we,” “our” and “us” refers only to Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd.

British Virgin Islands Taxation

Under the law of the British Virgin Islands as currently in effect, a holder of the securities who is not a resident of the British Virgin Islands is not liable for British Virgin Islands tax on dividends paid with respect to the securities and all holders of the securities are not liable to the British Virgin Islands for tax on gains realized during that year on the sale or disposal of such ordinary shares. The British Virgin Islands does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid by a company incorporated or re-registered under the BVI Act.

There are no capital gains, gift or inheritance taxes levied by the British Virgin Islands on companies incorporated under the BVI Act. In addition, shares of companies incorporated under the BVI Act are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges.

There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between China and the British Virgin Islands.

People’s Republic of China Taxation

In 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress enacted the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008. The new EIT Law imposes a single uniform income tax rate of 25% on all Chinese enterprises, including foreign-invested enterprises, and levies a withholding tax rate of 10% on dividends payable by Chinese subsidiaries to their foreign shareholders unless any such foreign shareholders’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding agreement. Under the new EIT Law, enterprises established outside China but deemed to have a “de facto management body” within the country may be considered “resident enterprises” for Chinese tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on their worldwide income. Pursuant to the implementation rules of the new EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that has material and overall management control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of the enterprise. Although substantially all members of our management are located in China, it is unclear whether Chinese tax authorities would require (or permit) us to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. If we and/or Topsky are deemed a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we and/or Topsky may be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on our worldwide income, excluding dividends received directly from another Chinese tax resident enterprise, as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. If we and/or Topsky are not deemed to be a Chinese tax resident enterprise, we and/or Topsky may be subject to certain PRC withholding taxes. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.” As a result of such changes, our and Topky’s historical tax rates may not be indicative of our and Topky’s tax rates for future periods and the value of our ADSs may be adversely affected. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise and investors’ gain from the sales of the securities and dividends payable by us are deemed sourced from China, such gains and dividends payable by us may be subject to PRC tax. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — If we and/or Topsky were deemed a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we and/or Topsky could be subject to tax on our global income at the rate of 25% under the New EIT Law and our non-PRC shareholders could be subject to certain PRC taxes.”

United States Federal Income Taxation

This section is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and other administrative guidance of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and court decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These laws are subject to change or different interpretation by the IRS or a court, possibly on a retroactive basis.

We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulation, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.

The discussion below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to a beneficial owner of the securities that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

1.	a citizen or resident of the United States;
2.	a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or
3.	organized) under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
4.	an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
5.	a trust if (a) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S.
6.	persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S.

Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If a beneficial owner of the securities is not described as a U.S. Holder and is not an entity treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such owner will be considered a “Non-U.S. Holder.” The material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable specifically to Non-U.S. Holders are described below under the heading “Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders.”

If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities, the U.S. tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder of the securities that is a partnership or partners in such a partnership should consult their own tax advisors about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of the securities.

This discussion assumes that any distributions made (or deemed made) on the securities and any consideration received by a holder in consideration for the sale or other disposition of the securities will be in U.S. dollars. This discussion also assumes that the representations contained in the Deposit Agreement are true and that the obligations in the Deposit Agreement and any related agreement will be complied with in accordance with their terms. Finally, this discussion assumes that each ADS will only represent ordinary shares in us, and will not represent any other type of security, such as a bond, cash or other property.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a holder of an ADS will be treated as the beneficial owner of the shares represented by such ADS and an exchange of an ADS for ordinary shares will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The U.S. Treasury has expressed concerns that parties to whom ADSs are pre-released, or intermediaries in the chain of ownership between holders of ADSs and the issuer of the securities underlying the ADSs may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits by U.S. Holders of ADSs. Such actions would also be inconsistent with the claiming of the reduced rate of tax applicable to dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individual U.S. Holders, as described below under “Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Taxation of Distributions.” Accordingly, the availability of foreign tax credits or the reduced tax rate for dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individual U.S. Holders, could be affected by actions taken by parties to whom the ADSs are released, or by future actions by the U.S. Treasury.

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders

Taxation of Distributions

Subject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distributions we make with respect to a U.S. Holder in respect of such U.S. Holder’s ADSs or shares will generally be treated as dividend income if the distributions are made from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Cash dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinary income on the day the U.S. Holder actually or constructively receives such income. With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2011, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate provided that (a) our ADSs or shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, or, in the event we are deemed to be a Chinese “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law (as described above under “People’s Republic of China Taxation”), we are eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (the “U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we are not a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirements are met. Under published IRS authority, ADSs are considered for purposes of clause (a) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States only if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NASDAQ Capital Market. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our ADSs or shares.

Dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations. Generally, if we distribute non-cash property as a dividend (other than pro rata distributions of our shares) out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), a U.S. Holder generally will include in income an amount equal to the fair market value of the property, on the date that it is distributed.

Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares or ADSs and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not plan on calculating our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. U.S. holders therefore should generally assume that any distributions paid by us will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If PRC taxes apply to dividends paid by us to a U.S. Holder (see “People’s Republic of China Taxation,” above), such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty. The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty.

Taxation of Dispositions of ADSs or Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. holder that sells or otherwise disposes of its shares or ADSs will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount realized and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its shares or ADSs. Prior to January 1, 2011, capital gains of a non-corporate U.S. holder are generally taxed at a maximum rate of 15% where the property is held for more than one year (and 20% thereafter). The ability to deduct capital losses is subject to limitations.

If PRC taxes apply to any gain from the disposition of our ADSs or shares by a U.S. Holder, such taxes may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to certain limitations), and a U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the creditability of any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

We do not expect to be a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our current tax year or in the foreseeable future. The determination of whether or not we are a PFIC in respect of any of our taxable years is a factual determination that cannot be made until the close of the applicable tax year and that is based on the types of income we earn and the value and composition of our assets (including goodwill), all of which are subject to change. Therefore, we can make no assurances that we will not be a PFIC in respect of our current taxable year or in the future.

In general, we will be a PFIC in any taxable year if either:

	1.	at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or
	2.	at least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.

Passive income includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), the excess of gains over losses from certain types of transactions in commodities, annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We will be treated as owning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least 25% (by value) of the stock.

If we are treated as a PFIC in any year during which a U.S. Holder owns the securities, and such U.S. Holder did not make a mark-to-market election, as described below, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special rules with respect to:

1.	any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares or ADSs; and any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder (generally, the excess of the amount of any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a single taxable year of such U.S. Holder over 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the shares or ADSs during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder holding period for the shares or ADSs).

	Under these rules:

2.	the gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares and ADSs;

3.	the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which it realized the gain or excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;

4.	the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year; and

5.	the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder.
6.	Special rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.

Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns ordinary shares or ADSs in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the U.S. Holder may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. Our ADSs or shares will be “marketable” to the extent that they remain regularly traded on a national securities exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market. If a U.S. Holder makes this election in a timely fashion, it will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares or ADSs at the end of the taxable year over its adjusted basis in its shares or ADSs. Any ordinary income resulting from this election would generally be taxed at ordinary income tax rates and would not be eligible for the reduced rate of tax applicable to qualified dividend income. The U.S. Holder will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares or ADSs over the fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares or ADSs will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding potential advantages and disadvantages of making a mark-to-market election with respect to their ADSs or shares.

Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our ADSs or shares by making a timely “qualified electing fund” election to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as long-term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends. However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if the PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits as required under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not intend to furnish the information that a U.S. Holder would need in order to make a qualified electing fund election. Therefore, U.S. Holders will not be able to make or maintain such election with respect to their ADSs or shares.

If a U.S. Holder owns our shares or ADSs during any year that we are a PFIC, such holder must file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding such holder’s shares or ADSs and the gain realized on the disposition of the shares or ADSs. The reduced tax rate for dividend income, discussed in “Taxation of Distributions,” is not applicable to dividends paid by a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding reporting requirements with respect to their shares or ADSs.

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder in respect of our ADSs or shares generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, unless the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States).

In addition, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain attributable to a sale or other disposition of our ADSs or shares unless such gain is effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains in the United States) or the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from United States sources generally is subject to tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).

Dividends and gains that are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base in the United States) generally will be subject to tax in the same manner as for a U.S. Holder and, in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally should apply to distributions made on the securities within the United States to a non-corporate U.S. Holder and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of the securities by a non-corporate U.S. Holder to or through a U.S. office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States generally should be subject to information reporting in limited circumstances.

Dividend payments made to U.S. Holders and proceeds paid from the sale or other disposition the securities may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. federal backup withholding at a current rate of 28%. Certain exempt recipients, such as corporations, are not subject to these information reporting requirements. Backup withholding will not apply to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status must provide a duly executed IRS Form W-9.

A Non-U.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF OUR SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY ADDITIONAL TAX CONSEQUENCES RESULTING FROM PURCHASING, HOLDING OR DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE TAX LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. JURISDICTION, INCLUDING ESTATE, GIFT, AND INHERITANCE LAWS AND APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.

I. SUBSIDIARY INFORMATION

For a listing of our subsidiaries, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – C. Organizational Structure.”

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2015, we had no short-term or long-term borrowings. If we borrow money in future periods, we may be exposed to interest rate risk. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the interest income generated by our cash deposits with our banks and held-to-maturity investments. We have not used any derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Interest earnings instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed, nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. However, our future interest income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Translation adjustments amounted to $0.7 million and $0.04 million as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company translated balance sheet amounts with the exception of equity at September 30, 2015 at RMB 6.3638 to $1.00 as compared to RMB 6.1547 to $1.00 at September 30, 2014. The Company stated equity accounts at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to income statement accounts for the year ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 were RMB 6.1648 and RMB6.1425 to US$1.00, respectively. So far, the PRC government has been able to manage a stable exchange rate between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. We do not anticipate material translation adjustments due to large fluctuations in exchange rates between RMB and the U.S. Dollar. However, our future downward translation adjustments may occur and can be significant due to changes in such exchange rate.

To the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars received in our May 2010 public offering into the RMB for our operations, appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount that we receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.

The PRC government imposes strict restrictions on PRC resident companies regarding converting RMB into foreign currencies and vice versa under capital account transactions, such as receiving equity investments from outside of the PRC, making equity investments outside of the PRC, borrowing money from or lending money outside of the PRC, and repaying debt or remitting liquidated assets and/or accumulated profits outside of the PRC. These transactions have to be approved by the relevant PRC government authorities, including but not limited to the commerce bureau, the tax bureau and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, and have to be conducted at banks entrusted by the local SAFE branch. Kingtone Information has not conducted any foreign currency transactions during prior fiscal years since its inception. Softech was recently established and had not conducted any foreign currency transactions except for converting a relevantly small amount of foreign currency into RMB as registered capital pursuant to PRC regulations. In anticipation of this offering, we will invest or lend the proceeds as equity or loans into our PRC subsidiaries. As our business continues to grow, we may need to continuously finance our PRC subsidiaries by raising capital from outside of the PRC. The restriction on converting RMB into foreign currencies, and vice versa, may limit our ability to use capital resources from outside of the PRC. Such restrictions may also limit our ability to remit profits from our PRC subsidiaries outside of the PRC, therefore potentially limiting our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. In addition, such restrictions will limit our ability to freely transfer temporary excess cash in our or our subsidiaries’ bank accounts in and out of the PRC, therefore limiting our ability to conduct cross-border cash management activities to optimize the utilization of our cash.

Inflation

Although China has experienced an increasing inflation rate, inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations in recent years. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the change in the consumer price index in China was 0.46%, (0.77%), and 1.16% in 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively. However, in connection with a 3.9% increase in 2004, the PRC government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in China in order to reduce inflationary pressures in China’s economy. Following the government’s actions, the consumer price index decreased to 1.8% in 2005 and to 1.5% in 2006. In 2007, the consumer price index increased to 4.8%. In response, China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China, announced that the bank reserve ratio would rise half a percentage point to 15.5% in an effort to reduce inflation pressures. China’s consumer price index growth rate reached 8.7% year over year in 2008. In 2009 and 2010, the change in the consumer price index in China was minus 0.7% and 3.3%.

China consumer price index in December 2015 was 4.8% higher than that of the same period in 2014. China consumer price index in December 2014 was 3.3% higher than that of the same period in 2013. China consumer price index in December 2013 was 2.5% higher than that of the same period in 2012. The results of the PRC government’s actions to combat inflation are difficult to predict. Adverse changes in the Chinese economy, if any, will likely impact the financial performance of a variety of industries in China that use, or would be candidates to use, our software products and services.

D. AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES.

The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, will register and deliver ADSs. Each ADS will represent one (1) ordinary share (or a right to receive one (1) ordinary share) deposited with principal Hong Kong office of The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, as custodian for the depositary. Each ADS will also represent any other securities, cash or other property that may be held by the depositary. The depositary’s corporate trust office at which the ADSs will be administered is located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286. The Bank of New York Mellon’s principal executive office is located at One Wall Street, New York, New York 10286.

You may hold ADSs either (A) directly (i) by having ADSs registered in your name in the Direct Registration System, or (ii) by having an American depositary receipt, also referred to as an ADR, which is a certificate evidencing a specific number of ADSs, registered in your name, or (B) indirectly by holding a security entitlement in ADSs through your broker or other financial institution. If you hold ADSs directly, you are a registered ADS holder, also referred to as an ADS holder. This description assumes you are an ADS holder. If you hold the ADSs indirectly, you must rely on the procedures of your broker or other financial institution to assert the rights of ADS holders described in this section. You should consult with your broker or financial institution to find out what those procedures are.

The Direct Registration System, or DRS, is a system administered by The Depository Trust Company, also referred to as DTC, pursuant to which the depositary may register the ownership of uncertificated ADSs, which ownership will be confirmed by periodic statements sent by the depositary to the registered holders of uncertificated ADSs.

As an ADS holder, you will not be treated as one of our registered shareholders and you will not have direct shareholder rights. British Virgin Island’s law governs our direct shareholders’ rights. The depositary will be the holder of the shares underlying your ADSs. As a registered holder of ADSs, you will have ADS holder rights. A Deposit Agreement among us, the depositary and you, as an ADS holder, and all other persons indirectly holding ADSs, sets out ADS holder rights as well as the rights and obligations of the depositary. New York law governs the Deposit Agreement and the ADSs.

The following is a summary of the material provisions of the Deposit Agreement. For more complete information, you should read the entire Deposit Agreement and the form of ADS, which contains the terms of the ADSs. The Deposit Agreement is filed as an exhibit to our registration statement filed on Form F-1. You may obtain the registration statement and the attached Deposit Agreement from the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. You may also obtain a copy of the Deposit Agreement at the SEC’s Public Reference Room, which is located at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-732-0330.

Any charges incurred by the depositary or its agents for servicing the deposited securities		As necessary

Payment of Taxes

Holders of our ADSs are responsible for any taxes or other governmental charges payable on their ADSs or on the deposited securities represented by any of their ADSs. The depositary may refuse to register any transfer of a holder’s ADSs or allow withdrawal of the deposited securities represented by the ADSs until such taxes or other charges are paid. It may apply payments owed to the holder or sell deposited securities represented by the ADSs to pay any taxes owed and the holder will remain liable for any deficiency. If the depositary sells deposited securities, it will, if appropriate, reduce the number of ADSs to reflect the sale and pay to ADS holders any proceeds, or send to ADS holders any property, remaining after it has paid the taxes.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, which included inquiries made to certain other of our employees. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that, as of September 30, 2015, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness described in the “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” section below.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of the year ended September 30, 2015. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the 2013 report entitled "Internal Control-Integrated Framework." The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on such assessment, management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2015 was not effective because of the following material weakness:

Lack of U.S. GAAP expertise. Although our accounting personnel are professional and experienced in accounting requirements and procedures generally accepted in the PRC, they do not have sufficient knowledge, experience and training in maintaining our books and records and preparing financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP standards and SEC rules and regulations. The staff needs additional training to become experienced in U.S. GAAP-based reporting, including the skills of U.S. GAAP-based period end closing, consolidation of financial statements, and U.S. GAAP conversion.

In order to address the above material weakness, our management plans to take the following steps:

We will employ, as needed, outside professionals to provide key accounting personnel ongoing technical trainings to ensure their proper understanding of U.S. GAAP and newly announced accounting standards.

The Company believes the foregoing measures will remediate the identified material weakness in future periods. The Company is committed to monitoring the effectiveness of these measures and making any changes that are necessary and appropriate.

Notwithstanding the conclusion that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that the financial statements and other information contained in this report present fairly, in all material respects, its business, financial condition and results of operations. Nothing has come to the attention of management that causes them to believe that any material inaccuracies or errors exist in the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2015.

Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm on internal control over financial reporting because the Company is a non-accelerated filer permanently exempted from section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal year ended September 30, 2015 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd and Subsidiaries and Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd (“Kingtone Wireless”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on October 27, 2009 under the name of Reizii Capital Management Limited. It has wholly-owned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Its wholly-owned subsidiaries include: Topsky Info-tech Holdings Pte Ltd. (“Topsky”), which was established in Singapore on November 3, 2009, and Xi’an Softech Co., Ltd. (“Softech”), which was established on November 27, 2009 in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China by Topsky. Its VIE is Xi’an Kingtone Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Kingtone Information”) which was incorporated in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, China on December 28, 2001. Kingtone Wireless and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and VIE together are referred to as the “Company”.

On December 17, 2009, Reizii Capital Management Limited changed its name to Kingtone Wirelessinfo Solution Holding Ltd.

On March 23, 2010, the board of directors of Kingtone Wireless resolved to change the fiscal year end of Kingtone Wireless and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Topsky and Softech, from November 30^th to September 30^th so they have the same fiscal year end as Kingtone Information.

On May 14, 2010, the Company completed the initial public offering of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at a price of $4.00 per ADS and listed its ADS on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “KONE.” The Company sold an aggregate of 4,000,000 ADSs, representing 4,000,000 ordinary shares and received net proceeds of approximately $14.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses.

The Company is principally involved in developing and implementing mobile enterprise solutions for its customers in a broad variety of sectors and industries to improve its operating efficiency by facilitating mission-specific field and long-distance information management in wireless environments through its VIE, Kingtone Information.

Effective November 6, 2012, the Company conducted a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of all issued and outstanding shares of its ordinary shares (or “Reverse Stock Split,” as explained in more details under Note 21). Upon the effect of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s issued and outstanding shares reduced from 14,050,000 to 1,405,000. Except as otherwise specified, all information in these financial statements and notes and all share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, as if the Reverse Stock Split had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2015 include the financial statements of Kingtone Wireless, its subsidiaries, and its VIE for which Kingtone Wireless is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company transactions and balances between Kingtone Wireless, its subsidiaries and its’ VIE are eliminated upon consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

(b) Foreign currency transaction

The functional currency of the Company is United States dollars (“US$”), and the functional currency of Topsky is Singapore dollars (“SG$”). The functional currency of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, Softech and Kingtone Information, is Renminbi (“RMB”), and PRC is the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The resulting exchange differences are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries which are prepared using RMB, are translated into Company’s reporting currency, the United States Dollar (“U.S. dollar”). Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during each reporting period, and shareholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

The exchange rates applied are as follows:

	2015		2014		2013
RMB exchange rate at balance sheets dates		6.3638		6.1547		6.1439
Average RMB exchange rate for each period		6.1648		6.1425		6.2363

No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at the rates used in translation. The source of the exchange rates is generated from OANDA (Forex Trading and Exchange Rates Services).

(c) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. Significant estimates and judgments made by the management include: (i) estimates of profits and losses on contracts in process; (ii) accrual of estimated liabilities; and (iii) contingencies and litigation. However actual results could differ from those estimates.

F-9

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand and deposits held with banks. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

(e) Accounts and notes receivable

(f) Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, finished goods, and project-in-progress, which include direct labor, direct materials and overhead costs related to projects. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using first in first out method.

(g) Property and equipment

The Company states property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company computes depreciation using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 5% residual value.

Estimated useful lives of property and equipment:

		Useful Life
Property and improvements		20-35 years
Transportation equipment		5 years
Office equipment		5 years
Furniture		5 years
Electronic equipment		3-5 years

F-10

The Company eliminates the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired from the accounts and includes any gain or loss in the statement of income. The Company charges maintenance, repairs and minor renewals directly to expenses as incurred, and it capitalizes major additions and betterment to buildings and equipment.

(h) Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company applies the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 360-10 “Property, plant and equipment”, ASC No. 360 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

The Company tests long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets subject to periodic amortization, for recoverability at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Assets are grouped and evaluated at the lowest level for their identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows as the rate the Company utilizes to evaluate potential investments. The Company estimates fair value based on the information available in making whatever estimates, judgments and projections are considered necessary. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(i) Statutory surplus reserve

The Company is required to set aside 10% of its income after income taxes prepared in accordance with PRC accounting regulations to the statutory surplus reserve until the balance reaches 50% of the paid-in capital or registered capital, after which further appropriation will be at the directors’ recommendation.

(j) Revenue recognition

Revenues consist primarily of sales of wireless system software service solutions and other customized software contracts. The Company recognizes revenue when (1) pervasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred and customer acceptance is reasonable assured (3) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is probable.

F-11

Revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements requires judgment to determine if multiple elements exist, whether elements can be accounted for as separate units of accounting, and if so, the fair value for each of the elements. Software updates are evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine whether they meet the definition of an upgrade, which may require revenue to be deferred and recognized when the upgrade is delivered. If it is determined that implied post-contract customer support (“PCS”) is being provided, revenue from the arrangement is deferred and recognized over the implied PCS term. If updates are determined to not meet the definition of an upgrade, revenue is generally recognized as products are shipped or made available. Company enters into arrangements that can include various combinations of software, services, and hardware.. Where elements are delivered over different periods of time, and when allowed under U.S. GAAP, revenue is allocated to the respective elements based on their relative selling prices at the inception of the arrangement, and revenue is recognized as each element is delivered. We use a hierarchy to determine the fair value to be used for allocating revenue to elements: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”), (ii) third-party evidence, and (iii) best estimate of selling price (“ESP”). For software elements, we follow the industry specific software guidance which only allows for the use of VSOE in establishing fair value. Generally, VSOE is the price charged when the deliverable is sold separately or the price established by management for a product that is not yet sold if it is probable that the price will not change before introduction into the marketplace. ESPs are established as best estimates of what the selling prices would be if the deliverables were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. Our process for determining ESPs requires judgment and considers multiple factors that may vary over time depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each deliverable.

Provided unapproved change orders or claims occur in the future, in accounting for contracts, the Company follows ASC No. 605-35. The Company will recognize as revenues costs associated with unapproved change orders or claims to the extent it is probable that such claims and change orders will result in additional contract revenue, and the amount of such additional revenue can be reliably estimated. Contract losses are provided for in their entirety in the period that they become known, without regard to the percentage-of-completion. However, the Company has not experienced significant unapproved change orders in the past.

PCS is included in the total contract price;

PCS is for one year or less;

estimated costs are insignificant;

4. upgrades and enhancements during the PCS term have historically been and are expected to continue to be minimal and infrequent; and

5. the contract does not include any service elements that are accounted for separately.

All other services are provided under separate agreements and fee arrangements and the related revenue is recognized over the period the services are provided.

The Company presents all sales revenue net of a value-added tax (“VAT”).

F-12

The Company recognizes revenue using the fair value of the wireless system software service solutions and other customized software by reference to the retail market price of the wireless system software service solutions and other customized software. These revenues are recorded as “Software Revenue”.

(k) Cost of Sales

When the criteria for revenue recognition have been met, costs incurred are recognized as cost of sales. Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) primarily includes the cost of the hardware purchased from the third parties, the labor costs of those responsible for the software development and project implementation and the applicable share of overhead expense directly related to the execution of services and delivery of projects.

The Company is responsible for the cost of providing a warranty. In the past warranty costs have been insignificant.

(l) Research and development costs

Research and development costs include salaries, consultant fees, supplies and materials, as well as costs related to other overhead expenses such as depreciation, facilities, utilities and other R&D departmental expenses. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred in performing research and development activities in accordance with ASC No. 730-10-5, Accounting for Research and Development Costs .

(m) Advertising expenses

Advertising expenses, which generally represent the cost of promotions to create or stimulate a positive image of the Company or a desire to buy the Company’s products and services, are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred no advertising expenses in each of the periods presented.

(n) Share-based compensation

F-13

Restricted stock units (RSUs) are measured based on the fair market values of the underlying stock on the dates of grant. Shares are issued on the vesting dates net of the statutory withholding requirements to be paid by the Company on behalf of its employees. As a result, the actual number of shares issued will be fewer than the actual number of RSUs outstanding. Also, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation using the graded vesting attribution method.

The Company records share-based compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees in exchange for services at fair value in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, "Equity based " payment to non-employees. For the awards granted to non-employees, the Company will record compensation expenses equal to the fair value of the share options at the measurement date, which is determined to be the earlier of the performance commitment date or the service completion date.

(o) Taxation

Income tax

i).

The Company is incorporated in the BVI. Under the current law of the BVI, the Company is not subject to tax on income or capital gains. Additionally, upon payments of dividends by the Company to its shareholders, no BVI withholding tax will be imposed.

ii).

Topsky was incorporated in Singapore and does not conduct any substantial operations of its own. No provision for Singapore profits tax has been made in the financial statements as Topsky has no assessable profits for the years ended September 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Additionally, upon payments of dividends by Topsky to its shareholders, no Singapore withholding tax will be imposed.

iii).

The Company’s PRC subsidiary and VIE, being incorporated in the PRC, are governed by the income tax law of the PRC and is subject to PRC enterprise income tax (“EIT”). Effective from January 1, 2008, the EIT rate of PRC reduced from 33% of to 25%, and applies to both domestic and foreign invested enterprises.

According to a filing document from Xi’an State Tax authorities of the High-technology zone, Kingtone Information was granted a reduced income tax rate of 15% from January 1, 2008 on the basis of being a high-tech company. In September 2014, Kingtone Information is verified as a “high-technology enterprise” until 2017 and therefore it has benefited from the preferential tax rate of 15%.

F-14

	For the years ended September 30,
	2015			2014			2013
PRC federal statutory tax rate		15	%		25	%		25	%

The tax authority of the PRC conducts periodic and ad hoc tax filing reviews on business enterprises operating in the PRC after those enterprises had completed their relevant tax filings, hence the Company’s tax filings may not be finalized. It is therefore uncertain as to whether the PRC tax authority may take different views about the Company’s tax filings which may lead to additional tax liabilities.

Value-added tax and business tax

PRC Value-added Tax

The Company’s products are only sold in the PRC and therefore are generally subject to a Chinese VAT at a rate of 17%. The VAT may be offset by VAT the Company pays on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing its finished products. Revenues derive from any exclusive service projects are subject to a Chinese VAT at a rate of 6%, under a reform program to replace the business tax with VAT in the PRC. This is in parallel to the 17% VAT aforementioned. Furthermore, in either scenario, accrued VAT payables are subject to a 10%-13% surtax, which includes urban maintenance and construction taxes and additional education fees.

PRC Business Tax

Revenues from services provided by Kingtone Information are subject to a PRC business tax of 5% for rental revenue and 5% for wireless system solution, with a surtax of 10% - 13%. Kingtone Information pays business tax on gross revenues.

F-15

Deferred tax

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and any operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax asset if it is considered more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Uncertain tax positions

The Company adopted ASC No. 740-10 Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. ASC No. 740-10 prescribes a more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures. For the years ended September 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions and the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

(p) Comprehensive income (loss)

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), as presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

(q) Commitments and contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations, product and environmental liability, and tax matters. In accordance with ASC No. 450-10, Accounting for Contingencies, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not experienced any material service liability claims.

(r) Fair value measurements

F-16

The Company adopted ASC No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, on January 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the combined financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). ASC No. 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company has not adopted ASC No. 820-10 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, as these items are not recognized at fair value on a recurring basis.

ASC No. 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

ASC No. 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC No. 820-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable from third and related parties, amounts due from and due to related parties, accounts payable and other payables approximate their fair values due to their short term nature and are classified as Level 1 on a recurring basis. There are no financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2015 and 2014

(s) Segment reporting

The Company follows ASC No. 280, Segment Reporting. The Company's chief operating decision-maker, who has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, reviews the consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company as a whole and hence, the Company has only one reportable segment. As the Company's long-lived assets are substantially all located in the PRC and substantially all the Company's revenues are derived from within the PRC, no geographical segments are presented.

F-17

(t) Significant risks

Credit risk

Credit risk
Financial instruments	For the years ended September 30,
	2015		2014
Financial institutions located in the PRC	$	1,652,507	$	2,553,207
Financial institutions located in Singapore		1,090,892		1,608,556
	$	2,743,399	$	4,161,763

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables and amounts due from related parties. As of September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, US$1,652,507 and US$2,553,207, respectively, were deposited with major financial institutions located in the PRC. The decrease was mainly attributable to the loan to Xi’an Techteam Engineering and Industry (Group) Co., Ltd incurred in 2015, amounting to $2.7 million. As of September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, US$1,090,892 and $1,608,556, respectively, were deposited with major financial institutions located in Singapore. The decrease was primarily due to the fact Topsky paid the director salary, professional fee and other general expenses in 2015, amounting to $517,664. Historically, deposits in Chinese banks are secure due to the state policy on protecting depositors' interests. However, China promulgated an Enterprise Bankruptcy Law in August 2006 that came into effect on June 1, 2007, which contains a separate article expressly stating that the State Council may promulgate implementation measures for the bankruptcy of Chinese banks based on the Enterprise Bankruptcy Law. Under the Enterprise Bankruptcy Law, a Chinese bank may theoretically go into bankruptcy based on the Enterprise Bankruptcy Law. In addition, since China's concession to the World Trade Organization, foreign banks have been gradually permitted to operate in China and have been significant competitors against Chinese banks in many aspects, especially since the opening of the RMB business to foreign banks in late 2006. Therefore, the risk of bankruptcy of those Chinese banks in which the Company has deposits has increased. In the event of bankruptcy of one of the Chinese banks which holds the Company's deposits, it is unlikely to claim its deposits back in full since it is unlikely to be classified as a secured creditor based on PRC laws.

The Company conducts credit evaluations of customers and generally does not require collateral or other security from its customers. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts primarily based upon the aging of the receivables and factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers.

F-18

Business, political and economic risks

The Company participates in a relatively young and dynamic industry that is heavily reliant and also susceptible to complementary and/or competitive technological advancements. The Company believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Company's future financial position, result of operations or cash flows:

(i)

Business Risk.

Third parties may develop technological or business model innovations that address content delivery requirements in a manner that is, or is perceived to be, equivalent or superior to the Company's services. If competitors introduce new products or services that compete with, or surpass the quality, price or performance of the Company's services, the Company may be unable to renew its agreements with existing customers or attract new customers at the prices and levels that allow the Company to generate reasonable rates of return on its investment.

(ii)

Political, economic and social uncertainties.

The Company's operations could be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than 20 years, no assurance can be given that the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC political, economic and social conditions. There is also no guarantee that the PRC government's pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective.

(iii)

Regulatory restrictions.

The applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations currently prohibit foreign ownership of companies that provide content and application delivery services. Accordingly, the Company's subsidiary, Softech is currently ineligible to apply for the required licenses for providing content and application delivery services in China. As a result, the Company operates its business in the PRC through its VIE, which holds the licenses and permits that are required to provide content and application delivery services in the PRC. The PRC Government may also choose at any time to block access to the Company's customers' content which could also materially impact the Company's ability to generate revenue.

Foreign currency risk

A majority of the Company’s sales and expenses transactions and a significant portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities are denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”). RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Company in China must be processed through the PBOC or any other China foreign exchange regulatory body which require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

F-19

From July 21, 2005, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. While the international reaction to the appreciation of the RMB has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC Government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and potentially more significant appreciation of the RMB against the US$.

(u) Earnings per share (“EPS”)

EPS is calculated in according with ASC No. 260, Earning per share. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares (convertible preferred stock, forward contract, warrants to purchase ordinary shares, contingently issuable shares, ordinary share options and warrants and their equivalents using the treasury stock method) were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. The Company excludes potential ordinary shares in the diluted EPS computation in periods of losses from continuing operations, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

(v) Recently issued accounting standards

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). In connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

F-20

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. This amendment provides guidance on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). ASU 2015-02 is effective for periods beginning December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. The amendment defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities for one year. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 will now apply to public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans from annual reporting periods beginning December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods after December 31, 2016, including interim reporting periods with that reporting period.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805). ASU No. 2015-16 requires that an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts, the amendments in the Update require that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition an entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The adoption of ASU 2015-016 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Kingtone Wireless’ controlling shareholders since the inception of Kingtone Wireless on October 27, 2009, also owned more than 50% of Kingtone Information since the inception of Kingtone Information on December 28, 2001. Mr. Tao Li, the controlling shareholder of Kingtone Information, obtained beneficial ownership and the right to acquire a majority of the outstanding shares of Kingtone Wireless pursuant to a certain Term Sheet, dated October 27, 2009 between certain shareholders of Kingtone Information (including Mr. Li) and Ms. Sha Li, the sole shareholder of Kingtone Wireless at such time (the “Term Sheet”). Such parties subsequently entered into Call Option Agreements dated December 15, 2009 upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Sheet. On December 15, 2009, Kingtone Wireless through one of its subsidiaries, Softech, entered into a series of agreements (the “Restructuring Agreements”) with Kingtone Information for it to qualify as a VIE and to meet foreign ownership limitations established by the PRC (the “Reorganization”). The Restructuring Agreements are as follows: The terms of such control agreements reflects that Softech obtained effective control over Kingtone Information and has the ability to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of Kingtone Information.

F-21

Entrusted Management Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of a certain Entrusted Management Agreement dated December 15, 2009 among Kingtone Information, Softech and the shareholders of Kingtone Information (the “Entrusted Management Agreement”), Kingtone Information and its shareholders agreed to entrust the operations and management of its business to Softech. According to the Entrusted Management Agreement, Softech possesses the full and exclusive right to manage Kingtone Information’s operations, assets and personnel, has the right to control all of Kingtone Information's cash flows through an entrusted bank account, is entitled to Kingtone Information's net profits as a management fee, is obligated to pay all of Kingtone Information’s payables and loan payments, and bears all losses of Kingtone Information. The Entrusted Management Agreement will remain in effect until (i) the parties mutually agree to terminate the agreement; (ii) the dissolution of Kingtone Information or (iii) Softech acquires all of the assets or equity of Kingtone Information (as more fully described below under “Exclusive Option Agreement”).

Exclusive Technology Service Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of a certain Exclusive Technology Service Agreement dated December 15, 2009 between Kingtone Information and Softech (“the Exclusive Technology Services Agreement”), Softech is the exclusive technology services provider to Kingtone Information. Kingtone Information agreed to pay Softech all fees payable for technologies services prior to making any payments under the Entrusted Management Agreement. Any payment from Kingtone Information to Softech must comply with applicable Chinese laws. Further, the parties agreed that Softech shall retain sole ownership of all intellectual property developed in connection with providing technology services to Kingtone Information. The Exclusive Technology Services Agreement shall remain in effect until (i) the parties mutually agree to terminate the agreement; (ii) the dissolution of Kingtone Information or (iii) Softech acquires Kingtone Information (as more fully described below under “Exclusive Option Agreement”).

Shareholders’ Voting Proxy Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of a certain Shareholders’ Voting Proxy Agreement dated December 15, 2009 among Softech and the shareholders of Kingtone Information (the “Shareholders’ Voting Proxy Agreement”), each of the shareholders of Kingtone Information irrevocably appointed Softech as their proxy to exercise on each of such shareholder’s behalf all of their voting rights as shareholders pursuant to PRC law and the Articles of Association of Kingtone Information, including the appointment and election of directors of Kingtone Information. Softech agreed that it shall maintain a board of directors the composition of which will be the members of the board of directors of Kingtone Wireless, except those directors that are employed solely for the purpose of satisfying listing or financing requirements of Kingtone Wireless. The Shareholders’ Voting Proxy Agreement will remain in effect until Softech acquires all of the assets or equity of Kingtone Information.

F-22

Exclusive Option Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of a certain Exclusive Option Agreement dated December 15, 2009 among Softech, Kingtone Information and the shareholders of Kingtone Information (the “Exclusive Option Agreement”), the shareholders of Kingtone Information granted Softech an irrevocable and exclusive purchase option (the “Option”) to acquire Kingtone Information’s equity interests and/or remaining assets, but only to the extent that the acquisition does not violate limitations imposed by PRC law on such transactions. As discussed above, current PRC law does not allow foreigners to hold equity interests in a PRC entity that engages in business dealings with classified government information. Accordingly, the Option is exercisable at any time at Softech’s discretion so long as such exercise and subsequent acquisition of Kingtone Information does not violate PRC law. The consideration for the exercise of the Option is to be determined by the parties and memorialized in the future by definitive agreements setting forth the kind and value of such consideration. To the extent Kingtone Information shareholders receive any of such consideration, the Option requires them to transfer (and not retain) the same to Kingtone Information or Softech. The Exclusive Option Agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement or by 30 days written notice by Softech.

Equity Pledge Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of a certain Equity Pledge Agreement dated December 15, 2009 among Softech and the shareholders of Kingtone Information (the “Pledge Agreement”), the shareholders of Kingtone Information pledged all of their equity interests in Kingtone Information, including the proceeds thereof, to guarantee all of Softech's rights and benefits under the Entrusted Management Agreement, the Exclusive Technology Service Agreement, the Shareholders’ Voting Proxy Agreement and the Exclusive Option Agreement. Prior to termination of the Pledge Agreement, the pledged equity interests cannot be transferred without Softech's prior written consent. The Pledge Agreement may be terminated only upon the written agreement of the parties.

As a result of these contractual arrangements, Kingtone Wireless is able to exercise control over Kingtone information and was entitled to substantially all of the economic benefits of Kingtone Information through its subsidiary, Softech. Therefore, Kingtone Wireless consolidates Kingtone Information in accordance with ASC 810-10 (“Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”) since the date of the Reorganization. The controlling shareholder also controlled Kingtone Wireless and Kingtone Information before and after the Reorganization, therefore the Reorganization is accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control in a manner similar to pooling of interests.

NOTE 18. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

In order to attract and retain the best available personnel, provide additional incentives to employees, directors and consultants and promote the success of the Company's business, its board of directors and its shareholders approved and adopted an Omnibus Incentive Plan in April 2010 (the "2010 Plan"). Under the 2010 Plan, the Company may grant options or restricted award to its employees, directors and consultants to purchase an aggregate of no more than 1,500,000 ordinary shares of the Company, subject to different vesting requirements. The 2010 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee (the "Plan Administrator"). The officers of the Company have been authorized and directed by the Plan Administrator to execute Option Agreements with those persons selected by the Plan Administrator and issue ordinary shares of the Company upon exercise of any options so granted pursuant to the terms of an Option Agreement.

All options granted under the 2010 Plan have a term of ten years from the option grant date and vest according to the terms and conditions set forth in each grant agreement. On May 14, 2010, the Company granted 180,000 options, to a combination of employees and directors of the Company at an exercise price of US$4.00 on a pre-Reverse Stock Split basis.

Restricted stock granted under the 2010 Plan is subject to a different vesting period. On May 14, 2010, the Company granted 100,000 restricted shares to an officer with 50,000 vested on April 23, 2011 and the remaining 50,000 was scheduled to be vested on April 23, 2012.

Since the officer resigned on May 31, 2011, the remaining 50,000 to be vested on April 23, 2012 were forfeited and also such officer’s unvested options were forfeited in accordance with their terms. In addition, since the two independent directors Ms. Shi and Mr. Fong resigned on July 11, 2011 and June 24, 2011 respectively, their unvested options were forfeited in accordance with their terms. The reference of number of restrictive shares is on a pre-Reverse Stock Split basis.

The Company did not grant any equity awards for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was applied in determining the estimated fair value of the options granted to employees and non-employees. The model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the estimated expected stock price volatility, the expected price multiple at which employees are likely to exercise share options. For expected volatilities, the Company has made reference to the historical price volatilities of ordinary shares of several comparable companies in the same industry as the Company. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury Bills yield in effect at the time of grant. The Company's management is ultimately responsible for the determination of the estimated fair value of its ordinary shares. The Company calculated the estimated fair value of the options on the grant date (May 14, 2010) with the following assumptions:

F-33

	May 14, 2010
Risk-free interest rates		1.63	%
Expected term		0 years
Expected volatility		90	%
Expected dividend yield		0	%
Fair value of underlying ordinary share (per share) (*)		US$ 3.94

(* there was no trading on the grant date, this represented initial public offering close price)

The Company recognized compensation expense for options granted as general and administrative expense on a straight-line basis for each separately vesting portion of the award (the graded vesting attribution method). The fair value of options on the grant date of May 14, 2010 was $1.89 per share. The share-based compensation expenses for options were nil, US$2,000 and US$2,000 for the years ended September 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company records share-based compensation expense for restricted shares granted to non-employees in exchange for services at fair value as of the grant date which was $3.94 based on the graded vesting attribution method. The share-based compensation expenses for restricted shares were US$0, US$0 and US$0 for the years ended September 30, 2015, 2014 and 2012, respectively.

The following table summarizes outstanding options as of September 30, 2015, related weighted average fair value and life information, options outstanding for all periods have been retroactively restated to reflect the 1-for-10 reverse stock split effected on November 6, 2012:

		Options Outstanding						Options Exercisable
Exercise Price Per Share		Number outstanding as of September 30, 2015		Weighted Average Fair Value		Weighted Average Remaining Life (Years)		Number Exercisable as of September 30, 2015		Weighted Average Exercise Price
$	40.00		12,334	$	18.9		4.62		12,334	$	18.9

A summary of option activity under the employee share option plan as of September 30, 2015 and changes during the year then ended is presented as follows:

Options	Number of shares		Exercise Price		Remaining Life (Years)		Aggregated Intrinsic Value
Outstanding as of October 1, 2014		12,334	$	40.00		5.62		-

NOTE 19. STATUTORY RESERVES

Under PRC law, Softech and Kingtone Information are required to provide for certain statutory reserves, namely a general reserve, an enterprise expansion fund and a staff welfare and bonus fund. The entities are required to allocate at least 10% of their after tax profits on individual company basis as determined under PRC GAAP to the general reserve and have the right to discontinue allocations to the general reserve if such reserve has reached 50% of registered capital. Appropriations to the enterprise expansion fund and staff welfare and bonus fund are at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the entity. These reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to the Company in the form of loans, advances, or cash dividends.

As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company had appropriated nil respectively in its statutory reserves.

NOTE 20. ORDINARY SHARES

The Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended, authorized the Company to issue 100,000,000 shares of US$0.001 par value per ordinary share. Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote. The holders of ordinary shares are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the Board of Directors. The Company had 10,000,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding prior to the May 2010 public offering. In May 2010, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of ADSs, representing 4,000,000 ordinary shares, through its depositary, Bank of New York Mellon on the NASDAQ Capital Market, at a consideration of US$4.00 per share for a gross consideration of US$16,000,000. The total direct cost related to this transaction amounted $1,496,000, including underwriter fee, attorney fee, audit fee etc. In 2011, the Company issued 50,000 shares of ADSs, representing 50,000 ordinary shares, as the restricted shares granted to an employee. As of September 30, 2015, there were 1,405,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Effective November 6, 2012, the Company undertook a combination, or reverse split of the ordinary shares issued by the Company at par value of $0.001 per share such that the Company shall issue one (1) ordinary share (each, "New Share," collectively "New Shares") for every ten (10) ordinary shares held by its members ("Old Shares") (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The par value of each New Share was $0.01, equal to the aggregate of the par value of ten Old Shares combined. The ratio between each American Depositary Share ("ADS") and its underlying ordinary share post-Reverse Stock Split remains the same, namely, one ADR remains to represent one New Share.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had zero restricted shares and 12,334 outstanding options that could potentially dilute basic income per share in the future, but which were excluded in the computation of diluted income per share in the periods presented, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive since the grant price of these restricted shares and the exercise price of these option were higher than the average market price during period presented.
