CNIT to Commence Announcing Quarterly Financial Results in Q3 2017

SHENZHEN, China, August 25, 2017 - China Information Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CNIT), a provider of cloud-application-terminal technology for internet-based advertisement distribution and ad display terminal sharing systems in China, today said that, beginning with the third quarter this year, it will voluntarily report and publicly announce the company's financial results on a quarterly basis.

It is expected that these quarterly results will be released in conjunction with 6-K filings, and will continue to be joined by a 20-F filing for year-end results.

As a "foreign private issuer," CNIT is not required under U.S. federal securities laws or the rules of Nasdaq to file or make public quarterly financial information.

"Among our most important objectives going forward is to increase the frequency with which we communicate with our shareholders and the financial community," said chairman and CEO Mr. Jianghuai Lin. "By announcing our financial results quarterly, as do U.S. domestic public companies, we believe we are taking an important step in accomplishing this goal."

Mr. Lin added that, at regular intervals, the company also intends to issue updated guidance on projected revenue and adjusted net income for 2018 and 2019.

On August 21 the company forecasted 2018 revenue of $30 to $33 million and adjusted net income of $9 to $11 million. For 2019, CNIT projected revenue of $55 to $60 million with adjusted net income of $20 to $23 million.

Mr. Lin said he expects CNIT's 2017 third quarter revenue to total $5.5 to $6 million, putting the company on track to meet or exceed this year's revenue projection of $17 to $19 million.
