A Letter to the Investors
 Dear investors,
2011 was a tough year for us, economic recovery in the world has been slower than many people expected, and the Chinese economic growth has been subdued due to a series of tight fiscal and monetary policies to rein in the nonstop inflation, which render the much needed capital a scarce resource for small and medium non state owned enterprises. In spite of all of the difficulties, we are still pleased to report a strong set of results for the financial year 2011. Our revenue grew 51% to $262.8 million; net income increased by 60.2% to $42 million, earnings per share was reported at $0.76 compared with $0.51 EPS for last year. We closed our year with a healthy backlog of $296.4 million, which will help us to deliver a promising result for the year 2012.
Tough time never last, but tough people do.
Hollysys survived a string of unprecedented strikes and passed the severe test with an outstanding score amidst the negative market conditions and external disastrous events during our fiscal year 2011. The first came in to nearly halt the high-speed rail business since February, when the minister of the Ministry of China Rail, Liu Zhijun, who didn’t support Hollysys during his tenure, was removed because of criminal activities. Then the new nuclear power plant projects got suspended from March, a rippling effect of the Japanese nuclear power plant radiation leakage accident caused by the earthquake and tsunami. In addition to the two cold waves fallen upon us, Hollysys experienced the most catastrophic plague, which was the short selling pressure and the distrust of the China based companies, because some of them, especially those went public through back door listing, were found lacking of adequate corporate governance and internal controls and discovered or exposed to commit serious frauds in their proclaimed business data such as contracts, revenues, profits even bank account balances. With extraordinary courage and efforts called upon to have overcome the previous pummels, we had to confront another disastrous impact, the Wenzhou high speed rail collision accident, which killed 39 passengers and injured 191 passengers. Even though we concluded that our ATP system worked fine and normally during the accident based on data analysis from various sources not long after the accident, and we announced our conclusion on a timely basis, the tragic event still led to severe panic among our shareholders, and drove our prices to the 52 weeks low.
