China INSOnline Corp. (NASDAQ: CHIO), which operates www.soobao.cn, one of China's leading insurance services web portals, reported today that while net revenues in its first quarter ended September 30, 2009 declined 6% to $5,126,875 from $5,471,449 in the year ago quarter, net income in the first quarter of the current fiscal year increased 27% to $3,120,617, or $0.08 per share, from $2,462,064, or $0.06 per share, in the same period last year on 40 million shares outstanding in both periods.

The Company reported that the decline in first quarter revenues was primarily a consequence of a 79% decline in revenues from Online Insurance Advertising which decreased from approximately $3.55 million in the year ago quarter to $756,201 in the first quarter this year. This reflected the fact that insurance agents failed to renew online advertising agreements with the Company.

A much stronger performance in the quarter was recorded by the Company's Software Development segment which saw revenues grow 127% to $4,356,025 in the first quarter this year from $1,919,196 in the first three months ended September 30, 2008. The $2,436,829 increase in Software Development revenue was the primary reason for the 27% increase in net income in the quarter. The Company attributed the gain in Software Development revenues to the completion of 5 projects in this year's first quarter, reflecting newly developed software packages that were successfully delivered and tested by customers during the period.

The Company reported further that Insurance Agency services revenue in the first quarter ended September 30, 2009 decreased 39% to $42,599 from $70,012 during the same period last year primarily due to unfavorable market conditions.

Ms. Betty Xu, CEO of China INSOnline, commented, "While we were quite disappointed with the decline in internet advertising, it was not entirely unanticipated in the current financial environment, as reflected in our decision to curtail advertising and promotion expenses in this year's first quarter compared to an approximately $914,171 ad expenditure in the same period last year."

"Going forward," she stated, "our primary focus will be on building our insurance services utilizing our well known site, www.soobao.cn, which continues to be an important part of the insurance landscape, at a time when internet usage in China continues to grow very substantially."

"In 2008," Ms. Xu noted further, "we acquired GHIA to qualify our Company to be an insurance agent throughout China, and this remains a significant element in the growth plans we have formulated."

Mr. Zhenyu Wang, Chairman of the Company, stated, "We are pleased with the continuing growth in net income and the success of our Software Development activities-- especially in what has been a markedly turbulent financial environment-- and we will continue to build on the customer relationships we have developed. However, the long term success of the Company will rest with the progress we make in developing our internet services and the extent to which we can support these services with the chain insurance supermarket entity we continue to envision."
