CNIT PROJECTS 2017 REVENUE AT $17-$19 MILLION, ADJUSTED NET INCOME OF $3.2- $3.6 MILLION

SHENZHEN, China, July 10, 2017 - China Information Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:CNIT), a provider of cloud-app technologies for internet-based ad distribution and ad screen sharing systems in China, today said it expects to generate revenue in the range of $17 to $19 million in calendar 2017, a significant increase on the $10.2 million in revenue the company reported for 2016.

About 85 percent of the company's 2017 revenue is expected to come from sales of CNIT's cloud-based ad terminals. Most of the remaining revenue will likely result from customers' use of Yunfa Net (www.cnitiot.com), CNIT's cloud-based system allowing an advertiser to create and distribute reduced-cost ads on a PC or mobile app, and Yunti Guard, the company's IoT elevator safety solution.

The company expects to generate 2017 adjusted net income of from $3.2 to $3.6 million, excluding depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and other non-cash items.

Net income for 2017 is expected to be moderately profitable.

"We are thrilled to make such significant progress compared to our results from last year," said CEO Mr. Jianghuai Lin. "Month by month, we are seeing our revenue and gross margins improve and our new products find expanding market acceptance."

Going forward, he added, an increasing percentage of the company's revenue will likely be derived from its cloud-based software solutions, including Yunfa Net and Yunti Guard - both of which produce considerably higher margins than do the company's cloud-based ad terminal units.

As a result, CNIT is expected to improve its bottom line performance in 2018 and beyond, he said.

The company also believes that its current cash and cash equivalents, anticipated cash flows from operations in 2017, and additional availability under its borrowing facilities will be sufficient to meet CNIT's operating and financial obligations through April 2018.
