GINSMS has been suffering from revenue decline and losses over the last year as it shut down unprofitable business units such as its traditional IOSMS person-to-person ("P2P") messaging business where market size has been shrinking. The management has shifted focus to the rapidly growing A2P Messaging business. On March 27, 2014, GINSMS announced that it has launched a cloud based A2P messaging service. Mobile application developers use A2P SMS service to deliver one-time-passwords ("OTP") for authentication of over-the-top ("OTT") mobile applications such as Whatsapp, WeChat, Line and KakaoTalk, in-app purchase confirmations or promotion of latest game releases. Enterprises and financial institutions use the A2P service in the areas of mobile marketing, mobile transactions, security, customer relationship management ("CRM") and enterprise resource planning ("ERP"). Research And Markets (www.researchandmarkets.com) estimated the A2P market size to be US$53.07 billion globally in 2013 and growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 4.2% till 2020.

GINSMS's A2P business started generating revenue in the month of April 2014. Revenue for the first quarter ended June 30, 2014, second quarter ended September 30, 2014, third quarter ended December 31, 2014 and fourth quarter ended March 31, 2015 were $78,115, $104,836, $307,127 and $627,535 respectively. The table below shows the monthly revenue generated for the A2P business in the six months ended ending March 31, 2015:
