JINAN, CHINA--(Marketwire - December 16, 2009) - Pansoft Company Limited (NASDAQ: [ PSOF ]) ("Pansoft" or the "Company"), a leading ERP software service provider for the oil and gas industry in China, today announced that its board of directors has authorized a change in the Company's fiscal year to June 30 from December 31 and will change its filing status with the Securities and Exchange Commission to that of a foreign private issuer.

The changes take effect immediately and therefore Pansoft will report transitional fiscal 2009 financial results on Form 20-F for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009. The first full fiscal period will be for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. The change in year end has been made to better align Pansoft's reporting, tax planning, and business cycles with those of its customers. The company intends to continue to provide quarterly financial information to its shareholders through timely press releases.

"By moving to a June 30th fiscal year end, our management processes and sales cycles will be more synchronized with those of our customers," said Hugh Wang, Chairman of Pansoft. "Changing our status to a foreign private issuer will reduce legal and accounting costs related to quarterly SEC filings, which are not required for foreign private issuers."

The Company expects to report its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, in early March 2010, which will constitute Pansoft's second quarter results for the new fiscal year. The Company will also provide pro forma financial results for the calendar year 2009 to assist investors in understanding the transition to the new fiscal year.
