Private Placement

On March 13, 2007, e-Future Information Technology Inc. (the “Company”) completed a $10 million private placement with three funds affiliated with two institutional investors (the “Buyers”).

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 13, 2007, which is attached as an exhibit to this Form 6-K (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), the Company issued and sold an aggregate of $10.0 million of senior convertible notes due March 12, 2012 (the “Convertible Notes”) and warrants (the “Class A Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 184,077 of the Company’s ordinary shares, $0.0756 par value per share (“Ordinary Shares”). The Convertible Notes are initially convertible into 400,168 Ordinary Shares at the rate of $24.99 per Ordinary Share, which rate is subject to adjustment as referenced in the form of Convertible Note filed as an exhibit to this Form 6-K. On the date that is one year following the effective date of the Registration, the Conversion Price of the Notes will be lowered to the 5-day weighted average trading price of the ordinary shares, if such average is less than the initial Conversion Price of $24.99 per share. Under no circumstances will the Conversion Price be less than $19.00 per share.

The Class A Warrants are exercisable by the holder thereof at any time on or after September 9, 2007 and on or before September 9, 2012. The exercise price for the ordinary shares underlying the Class A Warrants is $28.25 per ordinary share, which price shall be subject to adjustment as referenced in the form of Class A Warrant filed as an exhibit to this Form 6-K.

In addition to the Convertible Notes and the Class A Warrants, the Company issued additional warrants to purchase an aggregate of 230,097 ordinary shares to the Buyers (the “Class B Warrants”). The Class B Warrants have an exercise price of $24.99 per share, which price shall be subject to adjustment as referenced in the form of Class B Warrant filed as an exhibit to this Form 6-K. The Class B Warrants are exercisable by the holder thereof at any time on or after September 9, 2007 and before the date that is twelve months after the later of (a) the effective date of the registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below) and (b) the date upon which the Company obtains Shareholder Approval (as defined below).

Notwithstanding the terms of the Convertible Notes, the Class A Warrants and the Class B Warrants, the Company is subject to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i). The rule provides that, unless and until the Company obtains shareholder approval for the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement (“Shareholder Approval”), the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issuable under the Convertible Notes, the Class A Warrants and the Class B Warrants shall be less than 20% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding on March 13, 2007. The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to obtain Shareholder Approval.

In connection with the investment, the Company and the Buyers have entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, which agreement is attached as an exhibit to this Form 6-K (the

“Registration Rights Agreement“). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to file and maintain with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement for resale of the ordinary shares acquired by the Buyers upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and exercise of the Class A Warrants and the Class B Warrants.

The proceeds from this investment will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, possible strategic acquisitions. The offer and sale of these securities in the United States was completed pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The foregoing description is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreements that are attached to this Form 6-K as exhibits and incorporated herein by reference.
