History and Corporate Structure

Corporate History

We were originally incorporated in Nevada on August 3, 1998 under the name R & R Ranching, Inc. to breed bison. On December 10, 2003, we executed an agreement and plan of reorganization (the “Intra-Asia Agreement”) with Intra-Asia Entertainment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Intra-Asia Delaware”), whereby Intra-Asia Delaware became our wholly-owned subsidiary and we amended our articles of incorporation to change our name to “Intra-Asia Entertainment Corporation.” From the first half of 2006 until May 14, 2007 when we completed a reverse acquisition transaction with Cabowise International Ltd. (“Cabowise”), a BVI company, we were a blank check company and did not engage in active business operations other than our search for, and evaluation of, potential business opportunities for acquisition or participation.

On May 14, 2007, we acquired Cabowise through a share exchange transaction pursuant to which we issued to the shareholders of Cabowise 10,841,492 shares of our common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Cabowise. Cabowise thereby became our wholly-owned subsidiary and the former shareholders of Cabowise became our controlling stockholders. On the same day, our indirect Chinese subsidiary, Oriental Intra-Asia Entertainment (China) Limited (“Oriental Intra-Asia”), acquired 85% equity interest in Beijing PKU Chinafront High Technology Co., Ltd. (“PKU”), which commenced its businesses in October 2000. As a result, PKU became a majority-owned subsidiary of Oriental Intra-Asia.

VIE Restructuring

Current Chinese laws restrict companies with foreign ownership to operate in three business areas that we recently entered into: online services, taxi advertising, and security and surveillance related business. In order to comply with applicable Chinese laws, we restructured our subsidiaries and entered into a series of commercial arrangements to allow the Company to operate in these restricted business areas.

On February 3, 2009, as described below, through our indirect Chinese subsidiary, Oriental Intra-Asia and Oriental Intra-Asia’s former subsidiary, PKU, we entered into a series of equity transfer agreements with China TransInfo Technology Group Co., Ltd., a company formed under Chinese law (the “Group Company”), pursuant to which we transferred all of our indirect equity interests in PKU and PKU’s subsidiaries to the Group Company. Established in China on May 26, 2008, the Group Company is wholly owned by four Chinese affiliates of the Company, Shudong Xia, our Chairman, CEO and President and the beneficial owner of approximately 43% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, Zhiping Zhang, the Company’s Vice President of Research and Development, Zhibin Lai, the Company’s Vice President and Wei Gao, the designee of SAIF Partners III L.P., a 17% shareholder of the Company (collectively, the “Group Company Shareholders”).

Through Oriental Intra-Asia and PKU, we entered into the following specific agreements to transfer all of its equity interests in its respective Chinese subsidiaries to the Group Company (the “Equity Transfer”):

  • Pursuant to an equity transfer agreement (the “PKU Equity Transfer Agreement”), entered into by and between Oriental Intra-Asia and the Group Company, Oriental Intra-Asia transferred all of its 97% equity interests in PKU to the Group Company;

  • Pursuant to an equity transfer agreement (the “Beijing Tian Hao Equity Transfer Agreement”), entered into by and between PKU and the Group Company, PKU transferred all of its 100% equity interests in Beijing Tian Hao Ding Xin Science and Technology Co., Ltd. to the Group Company;

  • Pursuant to an equity transfer agreement (the “China TranWiseway Equity Transfer Agreement”), entered into by and between PKU and the Group Company, PKU transferred all of its 70% equity interests in China TranWiseway Information Technology Co., Ltd. to the Group Company;

  • Pursuant to an equity transfer agreement (the “Zhangcheng Culture Equity Transfer Agreement”), entered into by and between PKU and the Group Company, PKU transferred all of its 100% equity interests in Zhangcheng Culture and Media Co., Ltd. to the Group Company;

  • Pursuant to an equity transfer agreement (the “Zhangcheng Science Equity Transfer Agreement”), entered into by and between PKU and the Group Company, PKU transferred all of the 100% equity interests in Beijing Zhangcheng Science and Technology Co., Ltd. to the Group Company; and

  • Pursuant to an equity transfer agreement (the “Shanghai Yootu Equity Transfer Agreement”), entered into by and between PKU and the Group Company, PKU transferred all of its 100% equity interests in Shanghai Yootu Information Technology Co., Ltd. to the Group Company.

In connection with the Equity Transfer, on February 3, 2009, the following contractual arrangements were also made among relevant parties, giving us contractual rights to control and manage the business of the Group Company and the Group Company’s subsidiaries (the “Contractual Arrangement” and together with the Equity Transfer, the “Restructuring”):

  • Pursuant to an exclusive technical consulting and services agreement (the “Service Agreement”), entered into by and among Oriental Intra-Asia, the Group Company and the Group Company’s subsidiaries, Oriental Intra-Asia agreed to provide certain technical and consulting services to the VIE Entities in exchange for the payment by each VIE Entity of an annual development and consulting services fee that is to be determined solely by Oriental Intra-Asia. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, such development and consulting services fee was approximately equal to the amount of total income before income taxes of the Group Company and the Group Company’s subsidiaries;

  • Pursuant to an equity pledge agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), entered into by and among Oriental Intra-Asia and each of the Group Company Shareholders, the Group Company Shareholders agreed to pledge all of their equity interests in the Group Company (the “Equity Interests”), to Oriental Intra-Asia as collateral security for Oriental Intra-Asia’s collection of the fees under the Service Agreement;

3


  • Pursuant to an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”), entered into by and among Oriental Intra-Asia and each of the Group Company Shareholders, the Group Company Shareholders agreed to grant to Oriental Intra-Asia an option to purchase, from time to time, all or a part of the Equity Interests, at the exercise price equal to the lowest possible price permitted by Chinese laws;

  • Pursuant to separate powers of attorney (the “Powers of Attorney”), each Group Company Shareholder agreed to grant to Oriental Intra-Asia a power to excise on his or her behalf all voting rights as a shareholder at the shareholders’ meetings of the Group Company that have been given to him or her by law and by the Articles of Association of the Group Company; and

  • Pursuant to an operating agreement, entered into by and among Oriental Intra-Asia, the VIE Entities and the Group Company Shareholders, (1) Oriental Intra-Asia agreed to act as the guarantor for the VIE Entities in the contracts, agreements or transactions in connection with the VIE Entities’ operation between the VIE Entities and any other third parties and to provide full guarantee for the VIE Entities in performing such contracts, agreements or transactions, subject to applicable laws, in exchange for which the VIE Entities agreed to mortgage the receivables of their operation and all of their assets which have not been mortgaged to any third parties to Oriental Intra-Asia, and (2) the VIE Entities and the Group Company Shareholders agreed to accept the provision of the corporate policies and guidance by Oriental Intra-Asia at any time in respect of the appointment and dismissal of the VIE Entities’ employees, the VIE Entities’ daily operation and administration as well as financial administrative systems, including the appointment of senior managers recommended by Oriental Intra-Asia (the “Operating Agreement” and together with the Service Agreement, Pledge Agreement, Option Agreement, Powers of Attorney, the PKU Equity Transfer Agreement, the Beijing Tian Hao Equity Transfer Agreement, the China TranWiseway Equity Transfer Agreement, the Zhangcheng Culture Equity Transfer Agreement, the Zhangcheng Science Equity Transfer Agreement, and the Shanghai Yootu Equity Transfer Agreement, the “Restructuring Documents”).

The main purpose of the Restructuring is to allow us to engage in the above three restricted business areas in China. As a result of the Restructuring, we transferred all of our indirect equity interests in PKU and PKU’s subsidiaries to the affiliated Group Company and accordingly, PKU and PKU’s subsidiaries became direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Group Company, which is in turn wholly owned by the Group Company Shareholders who are all Chinese citizens. At the same time, through the Contractual Arrangement, we maintain substantial control over the VIE Entities’ daily operations and financial affairs, election of their senior executives and all matters requiring shareholder approval. Under FASB Interpretation No. 46R “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (ASC Topic 810 “Consolidation”), we are required to consolidate the VIE Entities into our financial statements because the Contractual Arrangement provides us with the risks and rewards associated with equity ownership, even though we do not own any of the outstanding equity interests in any of the VIE Entities. As a result the Restructuring, we are able to engage in these three restricted business areas through the VIE Entities and derive the economic benefits that we would otherwise have as the owner of VIE Entities while still complying with Chinese laws.

The following chart reflects our organizational structure as of as of the date of this annual report:

Our Industry

Transportation in China

Over the past two decades, China has completed series of large-scale highway infrastructure projects. As a result, according to the Ministry of Communication of China, China now has the second largest highway network in the world with a total length of approximately 60,300 kilometers at the end of 2008 based on the National Statistic Yearbook 2009. In addition, China has approximately 70% of the world’s toll highways according to the Highway Management Department of the Ministry of Communication. During the 10th 5 – Year Plan of China, the Chinese government spent approximately $29.3 billion on urban rapid transit. The total mileage of urban rapid transit exceeded 400 kilometers and, according to the 11th 5-Year Plan of China, it is estimated that the total mileage of urban rapid transit projects in China will exceed 1,700 kilometers by 2010, with total new investment of nearly $85 billion from 2006 to 2010. According to each city’s plan, it is estimated that the total mileage of urban rapid transit will exceed 2,500 kilometers by 2016 with total investment of $145.7 billion.

China has a population of about 1.33 billion, which accounts for about 20% of the world’s population and makes it the most populous country in the world. With rapid economic development and urbanization, car ownership has increased dramatically, leading to unprecedented transportation challenges in many cities of China. According to China’s Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, China had over 180 million vehicles as of August 2009. The number is estimated to grow at least 5% over the next several years. Given the current conditions, the Chinese government intends to improve transportation management using advanced information technology solutions. At the same time, motorists are also eager to have access to real time traffic information. This strong demand from both the private and public sectors is creating an unprecedented market opportunity for transportation information products and services.

The Ministry of Communication of China is the country’s highest level transportation regulator. In December 2004, the Ministry of Communication announced a development plan for the Chinese national highway system. Under this plan, China will expand its highway network to 65,000 kilometers by 2010, and to 85,000 kilometers by 2020. After its completion, the Chinese national highway network will connect all provincial capitals and cities with populations of at least half-a-million. Based on the plan, the total investment in the national highway network will be about $294 billion from 2005 to 2020. From 2005 to 2010, the annual investment according to the plan is expected to be approximately $21 billion, with an additional $14.6 billion to be invested annually from 2010 to 2020.The Ministry of Communication in November 2008 also submitted its new budget to the Chinese central government with the total investments in the transportation sector at about $730 billion for the next 3 to 5 years.

Intelligent Transportation Systems in China

Intelligent Transportation Systems (“ITS”) provide information and data tools for different types of transportation infrastructure by deploying solutions such as communication, monitoring, tolling and planning. The 14th World Congress on ITS, defined ITS as comprehensive systems that integrate and apply advanced information, communication, control, sensor, and computer technology to effectively coordinate people, vehicles, and roads/rails to realize real-time information transfer, as well as on-time, highly efficient, safe, and energy-efficient transportation.

China’s ITS industry is still at its early stage in terms of development. Although China’s rapid economic growth over the past decade and accelerating urbanization have already resulted a significant development of its transportation infrastructure, China has also recognized a need to use nationwide transportation networks more efficiently and effectively. China began its ITS efforts in early 1990s with goals to enhance transportation management efficiency, to improve network throughput, and to reduce the negative effect of transportation to the economy and environment. Given that China is ranked second in total highway length and first in total toll highway mileage in the world, a larger-scale, more advanced ITS is needed. The increasing urban and highway traffic density also drives continued developments for ITS applications in communication and planning. As increasingly more urban and highway ITS gets deployed, the ITS market will shift towards focusing on specialized information solutions and value-added information services in the future. The urban ITS market is also still at a very initial development stage, comparable to that of the highway ITS market 10 years ago. On the other hand, this is a large but fragmented market with great potential.

Despite being at an early stage, the overall ITS market in China is highly attractive due to rapidly developing transportation infrastructure and increasing demand for ITS applications to manage it. The unique characteristics of China’s ITS industry mentioned above and the current low penetration level underline the large market potential. China’s expanding transportation network, along with its need for more effective and efficient transportation networks, has led to the need for better ITS. As a result of this and support provided by recent central government policies, investment in the ITS industry has increased significantly. Even though there is no current breakdown of ITS spending from the new $730 billion budget by the Ministry of Communication, we estimated that it would not go below 5% of the total spending.

Our Growth Strategy

Our objective is to become the largest provider of transportation information products and related comprehensive technology solutions in China, as well as the largest operator and provider of real-time transportation information to consumers in China. Our strategy to achieve our objectives includes the following key elements:

  • Expand geographic footprint to cover all major markets in China - Based on our successful track record and reputation, we believe there are significant opportunities to grow revenues from our existing clients by winning follow-on contracts for subsequent phases of project implementation, and by capitalizing on our first mover advantage and the clients’ exposure to higher cost of switching to other vendors. In addition to our executive offices in Beijing, we have offices established in Shanghai, Chongqing, Taiyuan (Shanxi Province), Chengdu (Sichuan Province), Hangzhou (Zhejiang Province), Huhhot (Inner Mongolia), Urumqi (Xinjiang) and Dalian (Liaoning Province). We currently provide our products and services in over twenty provinces in China. Our long-term plan is to manage our national operations through different offices and identify potential expansion opportunities.

  • Strengthen R&D capability to enhance and expand core products and further penetrate customer base – We expect to provide additional value-added services and add-ins to our current platform through continuous research and development, enhancement of our product and service offerings and maintenance of our technological leadership position in our core areas of focus. We believe the continuous refinement of our offerings will make the overall platform more attractive to potential customers.

  • Continue to enhance our leadership position in the rapidly growing transportation information technology market
    – We plan to leverage our strong brand recognition and maintain a high contract bid/win ratio and follow on orders with our transportation information products and services by expanding our sales channels, increasing our product offerings and focusing on customer satisfaction and our other competitive strengths to gain additional market shares.

  • Pursue strategic acquisitions to support strong internal growth – We intend to pursue strategic acquisitions to enable our geographic expansion, enhance our technological capabilities or competitive advantages, enrich product and service lines, provide recurring revenue opportunities and propel our expansion into high growth enterprise class markets.

  • Leverage existing capabilities – We plan to leverage our GIS-T strength with Beijing UNISITS Technology Co., Ltd. (“UNISITS”), to target our planned expansion into the expressway market. UNISITS is a leader in China’s intelligent transportation systems industry. UNISITS primarily provides traffic engineering E&M (electronic & machinery) systems for expressways in China. Presently, UNISITS provides products and services in over 20 provinces with an accumulated coverage of over 8,000 kilometers of expressways in China. We intend to leverage UNISITS technology and market channels synergistically with our own in order to cover a larger addressable market. By leveraging UNISITS’ large presence in China’s expressway market with our leadership in the urban transportation market, we expect to better penetrate markets for our current products and services. We also expect that through UNISITS we will gain access to expressways real-time traffic information, allowing us to tap China’s expressway information services market.

  • Further penetrate the large China consumer market with new real-time traffic data solutions – We believe the Chinese consumer represents a large growth opportunity for us. China has over 600 million cell phone users and over 180 million motor vehicles. The number of vehicles is expected to continue to grow. As a result, traffic congestion is becoming a serious concern in many Chinese cities. We provide real-time traffic information on our real-time traffic website. Our real-time traffic software for mobile devices is pre-installed in some cell phones and can also be downloaded from our website as well as from the website of China’s telecommunication companies. The growth of automobiles in China and 3G build out will enable the Chinese consumer to make more use of its mobile device and applications such as those that provide real-time traffic data.

We have been providing this solution to multiple provinces in China.

Intelligent Parking System

Our Intelligent Parking System (“IPS”), obtains information about available parking spaces, process that information and then presents it to drivers by means of variable message signs. Our system guides drivers in congested areas to the nearest parking facility with available parking spaces and it guides drivers within parking facilities to empty spaces. IPS reduces time and fuel otherwise wasted while searching for empty spaces and helps the parking facilities operate more efficiently. We are one of the first companies in China deploying IPS to serve public and private sector clients.

Red Light Violation Snapshot System

The red light violation snapshot system is used to photograph and record red light violations automatically. The camera captures the violating vehicle, including its license plate number, as it passes through the monitored area. The system also interlinks with a panorama camera to continue photographing the moving vehicle in order to provide comprehensive evidentiary data to authorities. We have been providing this solution to local governmental authorities of transportation.

Intelligent Highway Vehicle Monitoring System

Our highway vehicle monitoring system is used for image snapshot, license plate identification, speed recording, and blacklist database verification of vehicles passing through monitored areas along a given highway. The system consists of a front-end testing unit (camera, video testing module, vehicle tester and LED light) and main control unit (industrial control computer, system management software and communications module). The front-end system uploads images and related data to the command center on real time basis.

We provide a full range digital services to many cities in China using a Plan-Construct-Operate model. We analyze different requirements of different regions or cities and design specific information technology systems and digital construction based on a city’s unique requirements. Our typical clients in this segment are local governments, public service departments and enterprises.

2-D and 3-D GIS

We provide software platforms that utilize two-dimensional GIS. Two-dimensional GIS defines and presents special data utilizing an “X” and “Y” axis. Beginning in the 1960s, two-dimensional GIS was widely applied in a variety of sectors, including land management, power, telecommunications and city planning. We also provide software platforms that utilize three-dimensional GIS. Three-dimensional GIS defines and presents special data utilizing an “X”, “Y” and “Z” axis. Compared with two-dimensional GIS, three-dimensional GIS defines special data in a more accurate manner, and can present both the plane and the vertical spatial relation. Moreover, three-dimension GIS can present and analyze more complicated spatial objectives than Computer Aided Design (CAD) and other visualized software. Three-dimensional GIS is better suited for exploration, resource assessment, disaster warning, and production management. It is widely applied in many sectors such as in natural resources, including mineral resources and water resources, and geology.

Urban Intelligent Transportation Systems

Key ITS applications for urban traffic management include incident management, signal control, traveler information, traffic surveillance, and intelligent parking indication system. Urban ITS is a combination of basic traffic data, electronic technology, wireless and wire communication technologies, which relies on computer and communication technologies to improve safety and efficiency of urban traffic networks. Traffic surveillance provides monitoring functions in the urban ITS. Most metropolitan areas use loop detectors for traffic surveillance, and many use closed circuit televisions. There are also other types of surveillance tools, such as radar, lasers, or video image processing equipments. The use of vehicles equipped with toll tags or global positioning systems as probes, to determine travel times and locations, is also growing in use. Incident management provides real time incident reporting functions in urban ITS, and it is commonly used by traffic management centers in large metropolitan areas and cities. In some large cities, such as Los Angeles, traffic signal control is also centralized in the traffic management center. In many situations, traffic signal control systems use traffic responsive signals to manage the traffic within urban areas. Such responsive signals can be single signals or a group of interconnected signals. Urban traffic management centers utilize all traffic condition information collected from their ITS to give feedbacks and suggestions to travelers. Such information may be provided directly to the public or to organizations who provide it to users through radio broadcast, internet, or other means. Some major types of traveler information include pre-trip information, en-route driver information, en-route transit information and route guidance.

Digital City

Digital City sector is designed to aid the Chinese government’s initiative to outfit all major cities with broadband, wireless internet access, and information technology infrastructure. Many cities in China, especially in southern China, have experienced rapid economic developments since early 1990s. However, the information infrastructures construction in these cities does not match their economy developments. We are one of the pioneers to develop the “Digital City” concept in China . We provide full range digital services to many cities in China with the model of “Planning-Construction-Operation”. We analyze different requirements of different regions or cities and design specific information technology systems based on unique requirements. Typical clients include local governments, public service departments and enterprises.

Land and Resources

Land and resources systems cover planning, analysis, statistics and construction management for mineral resources. In this business line, we have developed a city geological information analysis system that provides tools to analyze the geological environment based on the integration of a variety of geological information, such as determining the underground structure for city planning and construction. In addition, we have created a disaster forecast system and a mineral resources assessment system that provide a platform to assess the reserves and then help to make decisions regarding the development of the mineral resources by setting up assessment models of mineral resources.

Research and Development

In 2009 and 2008, our research and development expenses amounted to approximately $3.80 million and $2.60 million, respectively. These expenses were mainly composed of staff costs and research and development equipment expenses.

Our Research and Development (R&D) Department consists of two departments, one is internal and the other is external, which involves our strategic relationship with the GeoSIS Laboratory at Peking University.

Internal R&D Department

Our internal R&D department consists of 140 researchers with extensive experience in the GIS and transportation information industry. Many of these researchers have worked at multinational corporations.

The primary focus of the internal R&D department is to analyze customer demands and develop application software products, with the use of the most highly advanced software development tools available today.

20


Our research department is also responsible for monitoring developments in the market for our services so that they can develop new products or improve upon existing products by adopting new technologies and skills.

In addition, the department is responsible for creating training and support manuals and creating new processes for implementation of our software products.

Strategic R&D Partnership with Peking University

PKU was established in connection with the Peking University’s GeoSIS Laboratory in order to provide university researchers with real life opportunities to test and implement the discoveries created at the University. On August 6, 2005, PKU entered into a cooperation agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”), with Earth and Space College of Peking University, pursuant to which PKU obtained the access to the university’s GeoSIS Research Lab, which houses over thirty PhDs and researchers to support PKU’s research and development initiatives. Under the Cooperation Agreement, we pay for all R&D expenses of the GeoSIS Laboratory. The Cooperation Agreement has a three-year term that has been automatically renewed for an additional three years.

Regulation

Because our operating VIE Entities are located in the PRC, our business is regulated by the national and local laws of the PRC. There are no specific rules or regulations for a company engaged in software development other than mapping which is highly regulated in China.

In addition, we and our PRC subsidiary, Oriental Intra-Asia, are considered foreign persons or foreign-invested enterprises under PRC laws, and therefore subject to foreign ownership restrictions in connection with our online services, advertising in taxies, and security and surveillance related businesses:

Online Service

On December 11, 2001, the State Council of China promulgated the Regulations on the Administration of Foreign Invested Telecommunication Enterprises (the “FITE Regulations”) , which became effective on January 1, 2002. Under the FITE Regulations, a foreign entity is prohibited from owning more than 50% of equity of a provider of value-added telecommunications services in China, which include internet content provision services. In addition, the current Catalogue of Industries for Guiding Foreign Investment (Revised 2007) prohibits a foreign investor from investing in businesses such as news websites and web streaming audio-visual services. As a result, if we had invested directly in the value-added telecommunications services in China, we would have had at most 50% of the ownership of the business and thus only consolidated no more than 50% of the revenues generated from such business.

Taxi Advertising

For an advertising business involving foreign investment, there have been rigid overseas operational requirements on the foreign investors under the current Chinese laws. Pursuant to the Provisions on Administration of Foreign Invested Advertising Enterprises promulgated by the State Administration for Industry & Commerce and the Ministry of Commerce of China on March 2, 2004, for a wholly foreign owned advertising enterprise, the foreign investors must have at least three years of direct operations in the advertising business outside of China. In case of a joint venture, foreign investors must have at least two years of direct operations in the advertising business outside of China. However, a domestic company without direct foreign investment is not subject to any of these restrictions.

Security and Surveillance Related Business

While there is no Chinese law or regulation specifically prohibiting foreign investment in the security and surveillance related business in China, the nature of this business implies that a vast majority of the customers of this business are governmental entities. Maintaining confidentiality of sensitive information about national security and other various governmental affairs is one of the most important concerns of these government customers. Therefore, as a practicable matter, governmental entities are more willing to have business relations with purely domestic companies than a company involving foreign investment where confidential governmental information is concerned.

In order to comply with these legal restrictions, on February 3, 2009, we conducted the Restructuring and entered into the Contractual Arrangement with the VIE Entities. Such arrangements enabled us to operate these restricted businesses through our VIE Entities in which we do not hold a direct equity interest. For more information on the regulatory and other risks associated with our contractual agreements related to our VIE Entities, please see the discussion below Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

We are also subject to PRC’s foreign currency regulations. The PRC government has controlled Renminbi reserves primarily through direct regulation of the conversion of Renminbi into other foreign currencies. Although foreign currencies, which are required for “current account” transactions, can be bought freely at authorized PRC banks, the proper procedural requirements prescribed by PRC law must be met. At the same time, PRC companies are also required to sell their foreign exchange earnings to authorized PRC banks and the purchase of foreign currencies for capital account transactions still requires prior approval of the PRC government.

Our Competition and Competitive Strenghts

Competition in China’s transportation information industry is very fragmented and consists of a combination of a few foreign competitors and many domestic transportation information technology companies. Whereas most international competitors seek to provide component software for the industry, our focus is on developing application software and services for the Chinese government and regulated sectors.

We believe that the following competitive strengths enable us to compete effectively in China’s transportation information industry:

  • Leading-Edge R&D Team - Our research and development team has a strong and extensive technology background and was an early entrant into the three-dimensional Geographic Information System, or GIS, market. The head of our research and development team was the lead engineering architect of the first three-dimensional GIS platform software in China, which won the Chinese Excellence Software Award in 1995.

  • R&D Affiliation with Peking University – Through our early alliance with Peking University, we developed a strong and extensive technology background. Under the cooperation agreement between our VIE Entity, PKU and Earth and Space College of Peking University, we have access to the university’s GeoSIS Research Lab and its team of over 30 scientists and researchers to support our R&D initiatives. Peking University is a 3% owner of PKU.

  • Award Winning Technology - Since inception, we have won nine product awards, including the National Transportation Planning System and Digital City Program award. The awards demonstrate the technological leadership of our Intelligent Transportation System, or ITS, and give customers a sense of security that they are purchasing a quality product.

  • Brand Image - We have built a valuable brand image through our track record of successful execution of projects for customers in various sectors. We provide products and services, including value-added services to meet maintenance and technology upgrade requirements, to our governmental and other customers. Our customers include central, provincial and municipal government agencies, construction, real estate development and high-tech companies. We plan to leverage our brand image to obtain new and recurring business.

  • Superior Management Team - Three members of our executive management team were among the first GIS software developers in China. Collectively, they have more than 34 years of experience with GIS, and each has been with PKU since its early days. They are complemented by two executives with extensive finance and corporate financial reporting experience.

  • Operational and Quality Management - We are ISO 9000 certified and conduct internal performance assessments three times per year. Being in close proximity to two of China’s top universities, we have a large pool of qualified candidates to choose from for our hiring needs. We hire our employees based on a rigorous review of their academic and technical skills. We also screen each candidate’s background for potential conflicts of interest and in order to avoid the possible appearance of impropriety in our dealings with government agencies.

We experience competition from both foreign and domestic Chinese competitors. The following is a description of some of our major competitors:

Foreign Competitors

  • Image Sensing System, Inc. (“ISS”) -ISS is headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, a technology company focused in infrastructure productivity improvement through the development of software-based detection solutions for the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) sector and adjacent overlapping markets. ISS’s industry leading computer-enabled detection (CED) products combine embedded software signal processing with sensing technologies for use in transportation, environmental and safety/surveillance management.

    The products offered by our foreign competitors are generally priced higher than our products. In addition, their software cannot be applied in China without significant modification due to differing industry standards and background. For these reasons, we do not foresee much competition from these international competitors in the area of transportation information application software.

Domestic Chinese Competitors

Raw Materials

Since we are in the business of developing software applications and providing related services, we do not utilize any significant amount of raw materials. All of the raw materials needed for our business are readily available from several different suppliers and at market driven prices. We only purchase computers and other software in order to provide its services and software applications to customers.

Our Employees

As of December 31, 2009, we employed a total of 654 full-time employees. The following table sets forth the number of our employees by function as of December 31, 2009.

    Number of  
Department   Employees  
Software Development   318  
Quality Control   67  
Sales and Marketing   95  
Administration   116  
Human Resources   19  
Finance   39  
Total   654  

Our employees are not represented by a labor organization or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages. We are required under PRC law to make contributions to the employee benefit plans at specified percentages of the after-tax profit. In addition, we are required by the PRC law to cover employees in China with various types of social insurance. We believe that we are in material compliance with the relevant PRC laws.

25


We believe that we maintain a satisfactory working relationship with our employees and we have not experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulty in recruiting staff for our operations.

Seasonality

Our results of operations are not materially affected by seasonality and we do not expect seasonality to cause any material impact on our operations in the future.

Insurance

We do not have any business liability, interruption or litigation insurance coverage for our operations in China. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products. While business interruption insurance is available to a limited extent in China, we have determined that the risks of interruption, cost of such insurance and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us to have such insurance. Therefore, we are subject to business and product liability exposure. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors – Our inability to protect our trademarks, patent and trade secrets may prevent us from successfully marketing our products and competing effectively.”

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS.

The shares of our common stock are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the following factors relating to our business and prospects. You should pay particular attention to the fact that we conduct all of our operations in China and are governed by a legal and regulatory environment that in some respects differs significantly from the environment that may prevail in the U.S. and other countries. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results will suffer, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

In order to comply with PRC regulatory requirements, we operate our businesses through companies with which we have contractual relationships but in which we do not have controlling ownership. If the PRC government determines that our agreements with these companies are not in compliance with applicable regulations, our business in the PRC could be materially adversely affected.

The Chinese government restricts foreign investment in certain business segments including online services, taxi advertising, and security and surveillance related businesses. Accordingly we transferred all of our indirect equity interests in PKU and PKU’s subsidiaries to the affiliated Group Company and as a result, PKU and PKU’s subsidiaries became direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Group Company, which is wholly owned by the Group Company Shareholders who are all Chinese citizens. At the same time, we are able to control these VIE Entities and operate these businesses through contractual arrangements with the respective companies and their individual owners, but we have no equity control over these companies.

Although we believe the Restructuring and our current business operations are in compliance with the current laws in China, we cannot be sure that the PRC government would view our operating arrangements to be in compliance with PRC regulations that may be adopted in the future. If we are determined not to be in compliance, the PRC government could levy fines, revoke our business and operating licenses, require us to discontinue or restrict our operations, restrict our right to collect revenues, require us to restructure our business, corporate structure or operations, impose additional conditions or requirements with which we may not be able to comply, impose restrictions on our business operations or on our customers, or take other regulatory or enforcement actions against us that could be harmful to our business. As a result, our business in the PRC could be materially adversely affected.

26


We rely on contractual arrangements with our VIE Entities for our operations, which may not be as effective in providing control over these entities as direct ownership.

Our operations are dependent on our VIE Entities in which we have no equity ownership interest and must rely on contractual arrangements pursuant to the Restructuring Documents to control and operate the businesses of the VIE Entities. These contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing control over these entities as direct ownership. For example, the VIE Entities may be unwilling or unable to perform their obligations under our commercial agreements with them, including payment of annual development and consulting fees under the Service Agreement as they become due, we will not be able to conduct our operations in the manner currently planned. In addition, the VIE Entities may seek to renew their agreements on terms that are disadvantageous to us. Although we have entered into a series of agreements that provide us with substantial ability to control the VIE Entities, we may not succeed in enforcing our rights under them by relying on legal remedies under Chinese law, which may not be adequate. In addition, if we are unable to renew these agreements on favorable terms when these agreements expire, or to enter into similar agreements with other parties, our business may not be able to operate or expand, and our operating expenses may significantly increase.

The shareholders of the Group Company may have potential conflicts of interests with us, which may adversely affect our business.

We operate our businesses in China through the Group Company, which is wholly owned by our four Chinese affiliates: Shudong Xia, our Chairman, CEO and President and the beneficial owner of approximately 43% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, Zhiping Zhang, our Vice President of Research and Development, Zhibin Lai, our Vice President and Wei Gao, the designee of SAIF Partners III L.P., our 17% shareholder. Conflicts of interests between their duties to us and to the Group Company and its subsidiaries may arise. We cannot assure you that when conflicts of interest arise, any or all of these persons will act in the best interests of our company or that any conflict of interest will be resolved in our favor. These conflicts may result in management decisions that could negatively affect our operations and potentially result in the loss of opportunities.

Our arrangements with the VIE Entities and its shareholders may be subject to a transfer pricing adjustment by the PRC tax authorities which could have an adverse effect on our income and expenses.

We could face material and adverse tax consequences if the PRC tax authorities determine that our contracts with the VIE Entities and its shareholders were not entered into based on arm’s length negotiations. Although our contractual arrangements are similar to other companies conducting similar operations in China, if the PRC tax authorities determine that these contracts were not entered into on an arm’s length basis, they may adjust our income and expenses for PRC tax purposes in the form of a transfer pricing adjustment. Such an adjustment may require that we pay additional PRC taxes plus applicable penalties and interest, if any.

The exercise of our option to purchase part or all of the equity interests in the VIE Entities under the Option Agreement might be subject to approval by the PRC government and foreign ownership restrictions on the VIE Entities’ current businesses under PRC laws. Our failure to purchase the equity of the VIE Entities without discontinuing the current businesses and operations of the VIE Entities may impair our ability to substantially control the VIE Entities and could result in actions by VIE Entities that conflict with our interests.

Our Option Agreement with the VIE Entities gives our Chinese subsidiary, Oriental Intra-Asia, the option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in the VIE Entities, however, the option may not be exercised by Oriental Intra-Asia if the exercise would violate any applicable laws and regulations in China or cause any license or permit held by, and necessary for the operation of the VIE Entities, to be cancelled or invalidated. Under the laws of China, if a foreign entity, through a foreign investment company that it invests in, acquires a domestic related company, China’s regulations regarding mergers and acquisitions would technically apply to the transaction. Application of these regulations requires an examination and approval of the transaction by China’s Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”), or its local counterparts. Also, an appraisal of the equity or assets to be acquired is mandatory. However, our local PRC counsel has advised us that Beijing and other local counterparts of MOFCOM hold the view that such a transaction would not require their approval. Therefore, we do not believe at this time that an approval and an appraisal are required for Oriental Intra-Asia to exercise its option to acquire the VIE Entities in Beijing. In light of the different views on this issue, however, it is possible that the central MOFCOM office in Beijing will issue a standardized opinion imposing the approval and appraisal requirement. In addition, even if we successfully acquire the equity interests in the VIE Entities through exercising our option, we may not be able to continue the current operations and businesses of the VIE Entities as, under the current PRC laws, we are subject to foreign ownership restrictions in connection with the online services, advertising in taxies, and security and surveillance related businesses, as described under the heading of "Regulation" above. If we are not able to purchase the equity of the VIE Entities without discontinuing the current businesses and operations of the VIE entities, then we will lose a substantial portion of our ability to control the VIE Entities and our ability to ensure that the VIE Entities will act in our interests.

27


We are highly dependent on the ITS, industry which is characterized by rapid technological change.

Our financial performance is dependent upon the continuing growth of the ITS industry which has historically been characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards and changing customer needs. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to continue to anticipate and respond to future industry demands in a timely manner. New services or technologies may render our existing services or technologies less competitive or even obsolete. If we fail to anticipate and respond to technological advancements and developments in the ITS industry in the future in a timely manner, our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. We are also subject to the risks generally associated with new technology introductions and applications, including the lack of market acceptance, delays in new application development and failure of applications to operate properly.

A termination of our relationship with Peking University could have a negative impact on our future operating results.

PKU has historically been able to successfully leverage the marketability and resources offered by its strategic partner and investor, Peking University. PKU’s affiliation with Peking University helps to create brand awareness for its products and services and also provides access to the university’s GeoGIS Laboratory, which houses over thirty PhDs and researchers to support PKU’s research and development initiatives. A termination of the relationship/strategic partnership with Peking University could have a negative impact on our future operating results.

The recent global financial crisis could negatively affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The recent credit crisis and turmoil in the global financial system may have an adverse impact on our business and our financial condition, and we may face challenges if conditions in the financial markets do not improve. Our ability to access the capital markets may be restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to raise capital, which could have an impact on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions. In addition, these economic conditions also impact levels of government and consumer spending, which have recently deteriorated significantly and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. It is uncertain how long the global crisis in the financial services and credit markets will continue and how much of an impact it will have on the global economy in general or the Chinese economy in particular. If demand for our products and services fluctuates as a result of economic conditions or otherwise, our revenue and gross margin could be harmed.

We rely heavily on sales to the Chinese government and a significant decline in overall government expenditures or a delay in the payment of our invoices by the government could have a negative impact on our future operating results.

Historically, substantially all of our sales of our products have been to the Chinese government entities at both central and local levels. Sales to the Digital City, Transportation and Land and Resources sectors of the Chinese government accounted for an aggregate approximately 54% and 55% of our sales for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We believe that the success and growth of our business for the foreseeable future will continue to depend on our ability to win government contracts. Many of our government customers are subject to budgetary constraints and our continued performance under these contracts, or award of additional contracts from these agencies, could be jeopardized by spending reductions or budget cutbacks at these agencies. Our operating results may also be negatively impacted by other developments that affect these government programs generally, including the following:

  • adoption of new laws or regulations relating to government contracting or changes to existing laws or regulations;
  • delays or changes in the government appropriations process; and
  • delays in the payment of our invoices by government payment offices.

28


We have experienced significant growth in the past, and we may not be able to maintain such growth in the future.

During the past years, we significantly increased the scope of our operations and increased our revenues from $11.9 million in 2007 to $29.4 million in 2008, and to $63.7 million in 2009. Part of this growth was due to the acquisition of certain PRC companies, which made material contributions to our overall revenues and profits during the relevant period. Our growth may not be sustained in the future if we do not continue to expand the scope of our operations. In addition, contributions to our rapid growth by acquisitions may not be sustainable in the future to the extent that we are not able to identify and execute suitable acquisitions. The expansion of our business has, and will continue to, put pressure on our managerial, financial, operational and other resources. We also need to enhance financial and quality controls and recruit and train additional staff in order to keep pace with our growth. We may need to increase employee compensation levels in order to retain our existing executives and staff and attract the additional personnel we expect we may require. We cannot assure you that we will be able to manage our future expansion effectively. If we are unable to effectively manage our expanding operations and control increasing labor costs, our profitability may be materially and adversely affected.

We face risks associated with potential acquisitions, investments, strategic partnership or other ventures.

For expansion purposes, we may acquire or make investments in complementary businesses, facilities or services or products, or enter into strategic partnerships with parties who can provide access to such assets, if appropriate opportunities arise. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition, investment or strategic partnership candidates, which may place us at a disadvantage if our competitors are able to grow their market share through acquisitions. If we do identify suitable candidates, we may not be able to obtain necessary funding or be able to complete those transactions on commercially acceptable terms or at all. If we acquire another company, we may have difficulty in integrating that company’s personnel, products and operations. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired company may decline to work for us. These difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses.

We rely on our management to understand and react to our rapidly evolving and highly competitive GIS software development and application total solution industry and our failure to react to such changes or to introduce new products and product enhancements could adversely affect our business.

The Chinese GIS industry is nascent and rapidly evolving. Therefore, it is critical that our management is able to understand industry trends and make good strategic business decisions. If our management is unable to identify industry trends and act in response to such trends in a way that is beneficial to us, our business will suffer.

In addition, we expect that a significant portion of our future revenue will be derived from sales of newly-introduced products. The market for our products is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and changes in customer needs. If we fail to introduce new products or to modify or improve our existing products in response to changes in technology, industry standards or customer needs, our products could rapidly become less competitive or obsolete. We must continue to make significant investments in research and development in order to continue to develop new products, enhance existing products and achieve market acceptance for such products. However, there can be no assurance that development stage products will be successfully completed or, if developed, will achieve significant customer acceptance.

If we are unable to successfully develop and introduce competitive new products and enhance our existing products, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. Our pursuit of necessary technology may require substantial time and expense. We may need to license new technologies to respond to technological change. These licenses may not be available to us on terms that we can accept or may materially change the gross profits that we are able to obtain on our products. We may not succeed in adapting our products to new technologies as they emerge. Development and manufacturing schedules for technology products are difficult to predict and there can be no assurance that we will achieve timely initial customer shipments of new products. The timely availability of these products in volume and their acceptance by customers are important to our future success. Any future delays, whether due to product development delays, manufacturing delays, lack of market acceptance, delays in regulatory approval, or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

29


We may not be able to adequately protect our proprietary intellectual property and technology, which may harm our competitive position and result in increased expenses incurred to enforce our rights.

We rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret laws, non-disclosure agreements and other confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to establish, protect and maintain our proprietary intellectual property and technology and other confidential information. Some of these technologies are important to our business and are not protected by patents. Despite our efforts, the steps we have taken to protect our proprietary intellectual property and technology and other confidential information may not be adequate to preclude misappropriation of our proprietary information or infringement of our intellectual property rights. Protecting against the unauthorized use of our products and other proprietary rights is also expensive, difficult and, in some cases, impossible. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce or defend our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources, either of which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Product branding is important to us and if our brands are misappropriated such that our reputation could be harmed, this could result in lower sales having a negative impact on our financial results.

We rely upon a combination of licensing and contractual covenants to establish and protect the brand names of our products. In many market segments, our reputation is closely related to our brand names. Monitoring unauthorized use of our brand names is difficult and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent their unauthorized use, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. Our brand names may be misappropriated or utilized without our consent and such actions may have a material adverse effect on our reputation and on the results of our operations.

If we are unable to compete effectively with existing or new competitors, our resulting loss of competitive position could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins and loss of market share.

The markets for our products are highly competitive and we expect competition to increase in the future. Some of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. These competitors may be able to respond more rapidly to new or emerging technologies or changes in customer requirements. They may also be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products. Increased competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins and loss of market share. Our failure to compete successfully against current or future competitors could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our products are complex and errors or defects could result in the rejection of our products and damage to our reputation, as well as lost revenues and increased costs.

Products as sophisticated as ours are likely to contain undetected errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new models or versions are released. Our products may not be free from errors or defects after commercial shipments have begun, which could result in the rejection of our products, damage to our reputation, lost revenues, diverted development resources and increased customer service and support costs and warranty claims. Any of these results could harm our business.

We do not carry any business interruption insurance, product liability or recall insurance or third-party liability insurance.

Operation of our business and facilities involves many risks, including equipment failures, natural disasters, industrial accidents, labor disturbances, business interruptions, property damage, and product liability. We do not carry any business interruption insurance or third-party liability insurance for our business to cover claims in respect of product liability, personal injury or property damage arising from accidents on our property or relating to our operations. As a result, we may be required to pay for financial and other losses, damages and liabilities, including those caused by natural disasters and other events beyond our control, out of our own funds, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

30


We may be exposed to potential risks relating to our internal control over financial reporting and our independent auditors may not attest to the effectiveness of our internal control.

To implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company’s internal control over financial reporting in their annual reports on Form 10-K. In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing a public company’s financial statements must also attest to the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls. Under current law, we are subject to the requirement that we maintain internal controls and that management perform periodic evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal controls, although the auditor attestation is not required until our annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, assuming our filing status remains as a smaller reporting company. A report of our management is included under Item 9A(T) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective at the reasonable assurance level for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. However, in the future, our management may conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective, or our independent registered public accounting firm may issue an adverse opinion on our internal controls over financial reporting, if one or more material weaknesses are identified. In the event we identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls that we cannot remediate in a timely manner or we are unable to receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors with respect to our internal controls, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements.

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act (the “FCPA”), and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations, agreements with third parties and make sales in China, which may experience corruption. Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our company, because these parties are not always subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. Also, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

Since we depend heavily on key personnel, turnover of key employees and senior management could harm our business.

Our future business and results of operations depend in significant part upon the continued contributions of our key technical and senior management personnel, including Shudong Xia, our chief executive officer and president, our chief financial officer, Zhihai Mao and our vice presidents, Zhibin Lai, Zhiping Zhang, and Danxia Huang. We also depend in significant part upon our ability to attract and retain additional qualified management, technical, marketing and sales and support personnel for our operations. If we lose a key employee, or if a key employee fails to perform his or her current position, or if we are not able to attract and retain skilled employees as needed, our business could suffer. Significant turnover in our senior management could significantly deplete our institutional knowledge held by our existing senior management team. We depend on the skills and abilities of these key employees in managing the manufacturing, technical, marketing and sales aspects of our business, any part of which could be harmed by further turnover.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA

Adverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could impede the overall economic growth of China, which could reduce the demand for our products and damage our business.

We conduct substantially all of our operations and generate most of our revenue in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are affected significantly by economic, political and legal developments in China. The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including:

31


  • a higher level of government involvement;

  • a early stage of development of the market-oriented sector of the economy;

  • a rapid growth rate;

  • a higher level of control over foreign exchange; and

  • the allocation of resources.

As the PRC economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy, the PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. While these measures may benefit the overall PRC economy, they may also have a negative effect on us.

Although the PRC government has in recent years implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the PRC government continues to exercise significant control over economic growth in China through the allocation of resources, controlling the payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and imposing policies that impact particular industries or companies in different ways.

Any adverse change in economic conditions or government policies in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth in China, which in turn could lead to a reduction in demand for our services and consequently have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could limit the legal protections available to you and us.

We conduct substantially all of our business through our VIE Entities in the PRC and they are subject to laws and regulations in China. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes, and prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, a series of new PRC laws and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, since the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to you and us. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. In addition, all of our executive officers and all of our directors are residents of China and not of the United States, and substantially all the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it could be difficult for investors to affect service of process in the United States or to enforce a judgment obtained in the United States against our Chinese operations.

If we are found to have failed to comply with applicable laws, we may incur additional expenditures or be subject to significant fines and penalties.

Our operations are subject to PRC laws and regulations applicable to us. However, many PRC laws and regulations are uncertain in their scope, and the implementation of such laws and regulations in different localities could have significant differences. In certain instances, local implementation rules and/or the actual implementation are not necessarily consistent with the regulations at the national level. Although we strive to comply with all the applicable PRC laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that the relevant PRC government authorities will not later determine that we have not been in compliance with certain laws or regulations. Our failure to comply with applicable PRC laws and regulations could subject us to administrative penalties and injunctive relief, as well as civil remedies, including fines, injunctions and recalls of our products. It is possible that changes to such laws or more rigorous enforcement of such laws or with respect to our current or past practices could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

32


The PRC government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.

The PRC government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. We believe that our operations in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, the central or local governments of the jurisdictions in which we operate may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations.

Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties or joint ventures.

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our sales revenue effectively.

All our sales revenue and expenses are denominated in RMB. Under PRC law, the RMB is currently convertible under the “current account,” which includes dividends and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the “capital account,” which includes foreign direct investment and loans. Currently, Oriental Intra-Asia may purchase foreign currencies for settlement of current account transactions, including payments of dividends to us, without the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the relevant PRC government authorities may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future. Since a significant amount of our future revenue will be denominated in RMB, any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in RMB to fund our business activities outside China that are denominated in foreign currencies.

Foreign exchange transactions by our PRC VIE Entities under the capital account continue to be subject to significant foreign exchange controls and require the approval of or need to register with PRC government authorities, including SAFE. In particular, if Oriental Intra-Asia borrows foreign currency through loans from us or other foreign lenders, these loans must be registered with SAFE, and if we finance the subsidiaries by means of additional capital contributions, these capital contributions must be approved by certain government authorities, including MOFCOM, or their respective local counterparts. These limitations could affect their ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing.

Fluctuations in exchange rates could adversely affect our business and the value of our securities.

The value of our common stock will be indirectly affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB and between those currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated. Appreciation or depreciation in the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend we issue in the future as well as earnings from, and the value of, any U.S. dollar-denominated investments we make in the future.

Since July 2005, the RMB has no longer been pegged to the U.S. dollar. Although the People’s Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the RMB may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.

Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions. While we may enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these transactions may be limited, and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all. In addition, our foreign currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into foreign currencies.

33


Restrictions under PRC law on our PRC subsidiary’s ability to make dividends and other distributions could materially and adversely affect our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could benefit our business, pay dividends to you, and otherwise fund and conduct our businesses.

Substantially all of our revenues are generated from our indirect PRC subsidiary, Oriental Intra-Asia, after it receives payments from our VIE Entities under various services and other arrangements. However, PRC regulations restrict the ability of Oriental Intra-Asia to make dividends and other payments to its offshore parent company. PRC legal restrictions permit payments of dividend by Oriental Intra-Asia only out of its accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Oriental Intra-Asia is also required under PRC laws and regulations to allocate at least 10% of our annual after-tax profits determined in accordance with PRC GAAP to a statutory general reserve fund until the amounts in said fund reaches 50% of our registered capital. Allocations to these statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to us in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends. Any limitations on the ability of Oriental Intra-Asia to transfer funds to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends and otherwise fund and conduct our business.

Future inflation in China may inhibit our ability to conduct business profitably in China.

In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and highly fluctuating rates of inflation. During the past ten years, the rate of inflation in China has been as high as 5.9% and as low as -0.8%. These factors have led to the adoption by the Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. High inflation may in the future cause the Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby harm the market for our products and our company.

Dividends payable to us by our PRC subsidiary may be subject to PRC withholding taxes, we may be subject to PRC taxation on our worldwide income, and dividends distributed to our non-PRC investors may be subject to PRC withholding taxes under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law.

As a result of our holding company structure, we rely substantially on dividend payments from our indirect PRC subsidiary, Oriental Intra-Asia, after it receives payments from our VIE Entities under various services and other arrangement. Under the PRC tax laws effective prior to January 1, 2008, dividends paid to foreign investors by foreign-invested enterprises, such as dividends paid to us by Oriental Intra-Asia, were exempt from PRC withholding tax. Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules effective on January 1, 2008, all domestic and foreign-invested companies in China are subject to a uniform enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% and dividends from a PRC subsidiary to its foreign parent company are subject to a withholding tax at the rate of 10%, unless such foreign parent company’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a reduced rate of withholding tax, or the tax is otherwise exempted or reduced pursuant to the PRC tax laws.

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, enterprises organized under the laws of jurisdictions outside China with their “de facto management bodies” located within China are considered PRC resident enterprises and therefore are subject to PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on their worldwide income. Under the implementation rules of the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, “de facto management bodies” is defined as the bodies that have material and overall management and control over the manufacturing and business operations, personnel and human resources, finances and treasury, and acquisition and disposition of properties and other assets of an enterprise. In addition, a recent circular issued by the State Administration of Taxation on April 22, 2009 provides that a foreign enterprise controlled by a PRC company or a PRC company group will be classified as a “resident enterprise” with its “de facto management bodies” located within China if the following requirements are satisfied: (i) the senior management and core management departments in charge of its daily operations function mainly in the PRC; (ii) its financial and human resources decisions are subject to determination or approval by persons or bodies in the PRC; (iii) its major assets, accounting books, company seals, and minutes and files of its board and stockholders’ meetings are located or kept in the PRC; and (iv) more than half of the enterprise’s directors or senior management with voting rights reside in the PRC.

The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules are relatively new and ambiguities exist with respect to the interpretation of the provisions relating to resident enterprise issues. Although our offshore holding companies are not controlled by any PRC company or company group, we cannot assure you that we will not be deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules. If we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise, we will be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on our worldwide income. In that case, however, dividend income we receive from Oriental Intra-Asia may be exempt from PRC enterprise income tax because the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules generally provide that dividends received by a PRC resident enterprise from its directly invested entity that is also a PRC resident enterprise is exempt from enterprise income tax. However, as there is still uncertainty as to how the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules will be interpreted and implemented, we cannot assure you that we are eligible for such PRC enterprise income tax exemptions or reductions.

34


In addition, the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules are relatively new and ambiguities exist with respect to the interpretation of the provisions relating to identification of PRC-sourced income. If we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise, dividends distributed to our non-PRC entity investors by us, or the gain our non-PRC entity investors may realize from the transfer of our ordinary shares, may be treated as PRC-sourced income and therefore be subject to a 10% PRC withholding tax pursuant to the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law.

If we became a PRC resident enterprise under the new PRC tax system and received income other than dividends, our profitability and cash flows would be adversely affected due to our worldwide income being taxed in China under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law. Additionally, we would incur an incremental PRC dividend withholding tax cost if we distributed our profits to our ultimate stockholders. There is however not necessarily an incremental PRC dividend withholding tax on the piece of the profits distributed from our PRC subsidiaries, since they would have been subject to PRC dividend withholding tax even if we were not a PRC tax resident.

Our holding company structure may restrict our ability to receive dividends from, or transfer funds to, our PRC subsidiary and our VIE Entities, which could restrict our ability to act in response to changing market conditions and reallocate funds among our Chinese entities timely.

We are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our operations through our PRC subsidiary and VIE Entities. Any funds we transfer to our PRC subsidiary and VIE Entities, either as a loan or as an increase in registered capital, is subject to registration or approval of PRC governmental authorities, including the relevant administration of foreign exchange and/or the relevant examining and approval authority. Our PRC subsidiary and VIE Entities are prohibited by PRC law to directly lend money to each other. These limitations on the free flow of funds between us and our PRC companies could restrict our ability to act in response to changing market conditions and reallocate funds among our PRC companies on a timely basis. Moreover, according to a circular jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on September 19, 2008, the debt-to-equity ratio of a non-financial institution may not exceed 2:1 unless the shareholder loan in question can meet certain conditions. Although there is uncertainty at this time as to how the circular will be interpreted and implemented, such circular may have a negative impact on our PRC subsidiary’s abilities to obtain loans from its shareholders.

We may be subject to fines and legal sanctions if we or our Chinese employees fail to comply with PRC regulations relating to employee stock options granted by overseas listed companies to PRC citizens.

On December 25, 2006, the People’s Bank of China issued the Administrative Measures on Individual Foreign Exchange Control, and its Implementation Rules were issued by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, on January 5, 2007. Both took effect on February 1, 2007. Under these regulations, all foreign exchange matters involved in an employee stock holding plan, stock option plan or similar plan of an overseas publicly-listed company in which PRC citizens’ participation requires approval from the SAFE or its authorized branch. On March 28, 2007, the SAFE issued the Application Procedure for Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Employee Stock Holding Plans or Stock Option Plans of Overseas Listed Companies, or Notice 78. Under Notice 78, PRC individuals who participate in an employee stock option holding plan or a stock option plan of an overseas listed company are required, through a PRC domestic agent or PRC subsidiary of the overseas listed company, to register with the SAFE and complete certain other procedures. We and our Chinese employees who have been granted restricted shares or stock options pursuant to the China TransInfo Technology Corp. Equity Incentive Plan 2009, or the Plan, are subject to Notice 78. However, in practice, there are significant uncertainties with regard to the interpretation and implementation of Notice 78. We are committed to complying with the requirements of Notice 78. However, we cannot provide any assurance that we or our Chinese employees will be able to qualify for or obtain any registration required by Notice 78. In particular, if we and/or our Chinese employees fail to comply with the provisions of Notice 78, we and/or our Chinese employees may be subject to fines and legal sanctions imposed by the SAFE or other PRC government authorities, as a result of which our business operations and the implementation of the Plan could be materially and adversely affected.

35


SAFE rules and regulations may limit our ability to convert and transfer the net proceeds from this offering to our VIE Entities in the PRC, which may adversely affect the business expansion of our VIE Entities, and we may not be able to convert the net proceeds from this offering into RMB to invest in or acquire any other PRC companies or establish other VIE Entities in the PRC.

On August 29, 2008, SAFE promulgated Circular 142, a notice regulating the conversion by a foreign-invested company of foreign currency into RMB by restricting how the converted RMB may be used. The notice requires that the registered capital of a foreign-invested company settled in RMB converted from foreign currencies may only be used for purposes within the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC. In addition, SAFE strengthened its oversight of the flow and use of the registered capital of a foreign-invested company settled in RMB converted from foreign currencies. The use of such RMB capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval, and may not in any case be used to repay RMB loans if the proceeds of such loans have not been used. Violations of Circular 142 will result in severe penalties, such as heavy fines. As a result, Circular 142 may significantly limit our ability to transfer the net proceeds from this offering to our VIE Entities through our subsidiary in the PRC, which may adversely affect the business expansion of our VIE Entities, and we may not be able to convert the net proceeds from this offering into RMB to invest in or acquire any other PRC companies, or establish other VIE Entities in the PRC.

The discontinuation or reduction of any preferential tax treatments currently available to us in the PRC may have a negative impact on our results of operations.

Our PRC companies, including the PRC subsidiary and VIE Entities, are subject to PRC income tax. Under the new corporate income tax law effective January 1, 2008, both foreign-invested enterprises and domestic enterprises are subject to a unified 25% income tax rate. Several of our VIE Entities, including PKU, China TranWiseway, Shanghai Yootu, UNISITS, Beijing Tian Hao and Beijing Zhangcheng, currently enjoy certain reduced income tax rates or income tax exemption. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, our effective tax rate was 1.1% and 0.2%, respectively. If there is any discontinuation or reduction of the existing preferential tax treatments, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Our business and financial performance may be materially adversely affected if the PRC regulatory authorities determine that our acquisition of PKU constitutes a Round-trip Investment without MOFCOM approval.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies promulgated the Regulation on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, which became effective on September 8, 2006 (the “2006 M&A Rule”). According to the 2006 M&A Rule, a “Round-trip Investment” is defined as having taken place when a PRC business that is owned by PRC individual(s) is sold to a non-PRC entity that is established or controlled, directly or indirectly, by those same PRC individual(s). Under the 2006 M&A Rules, any Round-trip Investment must be approved by the MOFCOM, and any indirect arrangement or series of arrangements which achieves the same end result without the approval of MOFCOM is a violation of PRC law.

Prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement on May 14, 2007, PKU was a PRC business whose majority shareholders were PRC individuals (the “PRC Individuals”). In addition, our BVI subsidiary Cabowise, was originally indirectly owned by the PRC Individuals, and Cabowise owned an option (the “Option”), to purchase the entire equity interest owned by the PRC Individuals in PKU. The Option was assigned to our wholly owned subsidiary, Oriental Intra-Asia by Cabowise on May 14, 2007. Thereafter, on May 14, 2007, as a condition to the closing of the share exchange transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, Oriental Intra-Asia exercised the Option assigned to it from Cabowise and, as a result thereof, the PRC Individuals sold their equity interest in PKU for $2 million in cash to Oriental Intra-Asia (the “Acquisition”). Following the Acquisition, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, on May 14, 2007, we issued 10,841,492 shares of common stock to the shareholders of Cabowise in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Cabowise (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of these transactions, the PRC Individuals are now our controlling shareholders. The Acquisition has been registered with the competent administration of industry and commerce authorities (“AIC”), in Beijing. Thereafter, the PRC Individuals made filings with the Beijing SAFE, to register the Company and its non-PRC subsidiaries to qualify them as SPVs, pursuant to Circular 75 and Circular 106.

36


The PRC regulatory authorities may take the view that the Acquisition and the Share Exchange are part of an overall series of arrangements which constitute a Round-trip Investment, because at the end of these transactions, the PRC Individuals became majority owners and effective controlling parties of a foreign entity that acquired ownership of PKU. The PRC regulatory authorities may also take the view that the registration of the Acquisition with the relevant AIC in Beijing and the filings with the Beijing SAFE may not be evidence that the Acquisition has been properly approved because the relevant parties did not fully disclose to the AIC, SAFE or MOFCOM the details of the overall restructuring arrangements, the existence of the Share Exchange and its link with the Acquisition. The PRC legal counsel of PKU has opined that the Acquisition did not violate any PRC law, which would include the 2006 M&A Rules. We, however, cannot assure you that the PRC regulatory authorities, MOFCOM in particular, may take the same view as the PRC legal counsel. If the PRC regulatory authorities take the view that the Acquisition constitutes a Round-trip Investment under the 2006 M&A Rules, we cannot assure you we may be able to obtain the approval required from MOFCOM.

If the PRC regulatory authorities take the view that the Acquisition constitutes a Round-trip Investment without MOFCOM approval, they could invalidate our acquisition and ownership of PKU. Additionally, the PRC regulatory authorities may take the view that the Acquisition constitutes a transaction which requires the prior approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”), before MOFCOM approval is obtained. We believe that if this takes place, we may be able to find a way to re-establish control of PKU’s business operations through a series of contractual arrangements rather than an outright purchase of PKU. But we cannot assure you that such contractual arrangements will be protected by PRC law or that the registrant can receive as complete or effective economic benefit and overall control of PKU’s business than if the Company had direct ownership of PKU. In addition, we cannot assure you that such contractual arrangements can be successfully effected under PRC law. If we cannot obtain MOFCOM or CSRC approval if required by the PRC regulatory authorities to do so, and if we cannot put in place or enforce relevant contractual arrangements as an alternative and equivalent means of control of PKU, our business and financial performance will be materially adversely affected.

The M&A Rule establishes more complex procedures for some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in China.

The M&A Rule establishes additional procedures and requirements that could make some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that the PRC Ministry of Commerce be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction and in some situations, require approval of the PRC Ministry of Commerce when a foreign investor takes control of a Chinese domestic enterprise. In the future, we may grow our business in part by acquiring complementary businesses, although we do not have any plans to do so at this time. The M&A Rule also requires PRC Ministry of Commerce anti-trust review of any change-of-control transactions involving certain types of foreign acquirers. Complying with the requirements of the M&A Rule to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the PRC Ministry of Commerce, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.

You may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us.

We are a Nevada holding company and most of our assets are located outside of the United States. Most of our current operations are conducted in the PRC. In addition, most of our directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. A substantial portion of the assets of these persons is located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors, most of whom are not residents in the United States and the substantial majority of whose assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts. Courts in China may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other arrangements that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments with the United States.

37


In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or the public interest. So it is uncertain whether a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States.

RISKS RELATED TO THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK GENERALLY

The market price of our common stock is volatile, leading to the possibility of its value being depressed at a time when you want to sell your holdings.

The market price of our common stock is volatile, and this volatility may continue. For instance, between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009, the closing price of our common stock, as reported on the markets on which our securities have traded, ranged between $3.05 and $8.17. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly. These factors include:

  • our earnings releases, actual or anticipated changes in our earnings, fluctuations in our operating results or our failure to meet the expectations of financial market analysts and investors;

  • changes in financial estimates by us or by any securities analysts who might cover our stock;

  • speculation about our business in the press or the investment community;

  • significant developments relating to our relationships with our customers or suppliers;

  • stock market price and volume fluctuations of other publicly traded companies and, in particular, those that are in the transportation information systems industries;

  • customer demand for our products;

  • investor perceptions of the transportation information systems industries in general and our company in particular;

  • the operating and stock performance of comparable companies;

  • general economic conditions and trends;

  • major catastrophic events;

  • announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or divestitures;

  • changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretation or principles;

  • loss of external funding sources;

  • sales of our common stock, including sales by our directors, officers or significant stockholders; and

  • additions or departures of key personnel.

Securities class action litigation is often instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs to us and divert our management’s attention and resources. Moreover, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to operating performance of particular companies. For example, since mid-2008, the securities markets in the United States have experienced a significant decline in share prices. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock and other interests in our company at a time when you want to sell your interest in us.

38


Although publicly traded, the trading market in our common stock has been substantially less liquid than the average trading market for a stock traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market and this low trading volume may adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Our common stock started trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “CTFO” in July 2009. The trading market in our common stock has been less liquid than the average trading market for companies traded on the Nasdaq stock market. Limited trading volume will subject our shares of common stock to greater price volatility and may make it difficult for you to sell your shares of common stock at a price that is attractive to you.

We may be subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. If our common stock becomes a “penny stock”, we may become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act (the “Penny Stock Rule”). This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

There can be no assurance that our common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock were exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.

Certain of our stockholders hold a significant percentage of our outstanding voting securities and accordingly may make decisions regarding our daily operations, significant corporate transactions and other matters that other stockholders may believe are not in their best interests.

Shudong Xia, our chief executive officer and president, is the beneficial owner of approximately 39.74% of our outstanding voting securities. As a result, he possesses significant influence over the election of our board of directors and significant corporate transactions. His ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer. Other stockholders may believe that these future decisions made by Mr. Xia are not in their best interests.

Certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation may make it more difficult for a third party to effect a change-of-control.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the board of directors without further action by the stockholders. These terms may include preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any preferred stock could diminish the rights of holders of our common stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock could make it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire or effect a change-in-control, which in turn could prevent our stockholders from recognizing a gain in the event that a favorable offer is extended and could materially and negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

39


We do not intend to pay dividends on shares of our common stock for the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on shares of our common stock. We intend to retain any future earnings to fund the operation and expansion of our business and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 1B.     UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

ITEM 2.         PROPERTIES.

All land in China is owned by the State or collectives. Individuals and companies are permitted to acquire land use rights for general or specific purposes. In the case when land is used for industrial purposes, the land use rights are granted for a period of 50 years. The rights may be renewed at the expiration of the initial and any subsequent terms according to the relevant Chinese laws. Granted land use rights are transferable and may be used as security for borrowings and other obligations.

We have entered into a lease agreement to lease office spaces at the 8th and 9th floors of Vision Building, No. 39 Xueyuanlu, Haidian District, Beijing China. Pursuant to this lease, we have the right to use the office space of 5,311 square meters in the Vision Building from November 1, 2009. We pay a monthly rent (including a monthly property management fee of RMB 258,460) of RMB 605,765 (approximately $88,800) for this facility. We are entitled to one free month rental of RMB 476,535 (approximately $69,855) per year. This lease expires on October 31, 2012. We expect that we will be able to renew the lease on similar terms prior to its expiration. UNISITS, one of the Company’s VIE Entities, also entered into a lease agreement to lease office spaces at the 12th floor of Vision Building. Pursuant to this lease, UNISITS has the right to use the office space of 1,175.22 square meters in the Vision Building from February 15, 2010. UNISITS pays a monthly rent (including a monthly property management fee of RMB 28,597) of RMB 142,985 (approximately $20,935) for this facility. UNISITS is entitled to two free month rentals of RMB 228,776 (approximately $33,496) for the first two months. This lease expires on February 28, 2013.

We have entered into a lease agreement with a Chinese individual, Zhao Li, from whom we have leased our office space at 07 Floor E-Wing Center, No. 113 Zhichunlu, Haidian District, Beijing, China. Pursuant to this lease, we have the right to use the office space of 517 square meters in the E-Wing Center. We paid a monthly rent of RMB 50,000 (approximately $7,325) for this facility. This lease expires on December 31, 2010. However, we terminated it prematurely in December 2009. On June 2, 2007, we also entered into a real property purchase agreement with Zhao Li, pursuant to which Mr. Zhao agreed to sell the facility to us for a purchase price of RMB 9,747,000 (approximately $1,427,936). In September, 2009, the real property purchase agreement was verbally terminated by the parties and the prepaid amounts were returned to us in full.

We also entered into two additional lease agreements to lease office spaces at the 15th and the 16th floors of E-Wing Center, No. 113 Zhichunlu, Haidian District, Beijing, China. Under these two leases, we have the rights to use the office space of 378 square meters at the 15th floor and the office space of 609 square meters at the 16th floor in the E-Wing Center, respectively. We paid monthly rent of RMB 51,011 (approximately $7,473) and RMB 76,783 (approximately $11,249) under these two lease agreements, respectively. The leases expire on August 31, 2010 and March 30, 2011, respectively. We terminated both leases prematurely in December 2009.

We believe that our properties have been adequately maintained, are generally in good condition, and are suitable and adequate for our business.

ITEM 3.         LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

ITEM 7.         MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains certain forward-looking information. See “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” above for certain information concerning those forward looking statements.

Overview

We are a leading provider of end-to-end public transportation information technology systems and related comprehensive technology solutions in China. Our goal is to become the largest provider of transportation information products and related comprehensive technology solutions in China, as well as the largest operator and provider of real-time transportation information to consumers in China. Substantially all of our operations are conducted through our VIE Entities that are PRC domestic companies owned principally or entirely by our PRC affiliates. Through our VIE Entities, we are involved in developing multiple applications in transportation, digital city, and land and resource filling systems based on GIS technologies which are used to service the public sector.

Historically, we were engaged in three business areas: transportation, land and resources, and digital city. Our transportation solutions track and store a variety of traffic information for various government entities, private sectors clients and individual users. The land and resources business enables municipal governments to assess the efficiency of land use and the management of natural resources. The digital city sector is designed to aid the Chinese government’s initiative to outfit all major cities with broadband and wireless internet access.

Due to the substantial market demand for transportation information products in China, we have decided to devote more energy and resources to our transportation business since late 2007, and expected that this line of business will become a major driver of our future development. Our transportation products and solutions are targeted for transportation management authorities under the management of the Ministry of Communication and the general public.

Industry Wide Factors that are Relevant to Our Business

The transportation information industry in China is in the process of rapid and continuous development. We believe that the trend in China’s transportation information industry is the continuous increase of Chinese government’s and public demand for advanced transportation information products and services to support more effective and efficient transportation networks in China. One result of this trend is the growing amount of governmental spending in the sector of transportation. We believe this trend will impact favorably on the demand for our transportation information products and services, and accordingly result in the growth in sales of our transportation products and services.

The development of transportation information products and solutions that are “Made in China” has grown rapidly since 2000. As a leading company in the sale of transportation information products and solutions in China, our sales revenues have a high correlation to the high speed growth of the transportation information industry in China generally. Our sales compounded annual growth rate has been at approximately 71% for the past four years and our earnings compounded annual growth rate has also been at about 71% over the same period. Therefore, we believe that our sales over the next five years will grow in close correlation with the rapid growth of China’s transportation information industry.

42


One main factor that management considers when estimating our future growth is the potential revenue from larger government projects in the transportation sector of the Chinese government based on annual budget reports issued by relevant governmental sectors at both central and local levels. We expect that these potential new projects will create revenues from new transportation information product sales and services. We expect to bid on large projects in the transportation sector going forward.

The growing use of GPS and location-based service in China also has a material impact on our industry. We believe that “Made in China” transportation information products and services will have a distinct advantage over similar products and services provided in developed countries, where development costs are generally higher. The Chinese economy is developing at a rapid pace. As a result, there is a growing consumer market that is developing in China. We also believe that the worldwide perception of the quality level of Chinese products is improving.

Recent Developments

On February 21, 2010, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with SAIF Partners III L.P., pursuant to which we sold a total of 1,564,945 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000. The shares were priced at $6.39 per share. The shares were sold pursuant to a shelf registration statement declared effective by the SEC on November 16, 2009. The offering and sale of the shares closed on February 24, 2010.

On March 22, 2010, we and our VIE Entity, the Group Company, entered into certain equity transfer agreements (the Equity Transfer Agreements”) with several individual shareholders (the “Transferors”) of UNISITS, pursuant to which the Group Company acquired 30.85% equity interest in UNISITS from the Transferors. Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreements, the Group Company purchased approximately 16.23 million shares of UNISITS from the Transferors in exchange for RMB 4.41 million (approximately US$0.65 million) in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), 40% of which is payable within seven days after the effective date of the Equity Transfer Agreements, and approximately 1.16 million shares of our common stock, which are issuable within 30 days of the effective date of the Equity Transfer Agreements. The Equity Transfer Agreements contain “make good” provisions, under which the Transferors agree to deposit a total of 697,162 shares of our common stock with an escrow agent designated by us that they will receive as partial consideration for the acquisition. Specifically, if UNISITS’s 2010 after-tax net income under Chinese GAAP is less than RMB 37.50 million (approximately US$5.50 million) or its 2011 after-tax net income under Chinese GAAP is less than RMB 46.88 million (approximately US$6.86 million), then 50% of the shares of our common stock deposited by the Transferors in escrow will be returned to us for cancellation for each applicable year. In addition, for each applicable year as described above, we will not be required to pay the remainder of the Cash Consideration, which represents RMB 1.323 million (approximately US$0.19 million), or 30% of the total Cash Consideration, per year if UNISITS fails to meet the respective performance targets.

Taxation

United States

China TransInfo Technology Corp. is subject to United States tax at a tax rate of 34%. No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as China TransInfo Technology Corp. had no U.S. taxable income in 2009 and 2008.

BVI

Our wholly owned subsidiary Cabowise was incorporated in the BVI. Under the current law of the BVI, Cabowise is not subject to income or capital gains tax. In addition, dividend payments are not subject to withholding tax and income taxes in BVI.

Delaware, Hong Kong and Samoa

Our wholly owned subsidiary Intra-Asia Entertainment Corporation (Delaware) was incorporated in Delaware. No provision for state income taxes in Delaware has been made as Intra-Asia Entertainment Corporation (Delaware) had no Delaware taxable income in 2009 and 2008. Our wholly owned subsidiary Oriental Intra-Asia Entertainment (China) Limited (Hong Kong) was incorporated in Hong Kong and, under the current laws of Hong Kong, is not subject to income taxes. Our wholly owned subsidiary Intra-Asia Entertainment (Asia-Pacific) Limited (Samoa) was incorporated in Samoa and, under the current laws of Samoa, is not subject to income taxes.

PRC

Our former Chinese operating subsidiaries enjoy certain special or preferential tax treatments regarding foreign enterprise income tax in accordance with the “Income Tax Law of the PRC for Enterprises with Foreign Investment and Foreign Enterprises” and its implementing rules. Accordingly, our former Chinese operating subsidiaries have been entitled to tax concessions whereby the profit for its first two financial years beginning with the first profit-making year (after setting off tax losses carried forward from prior years) is exempt from income tax in the PRC and the profit for each of the subsequent three financial years is taxed at 50% of the prevailing tax rates set by the relevant tax authorities. However, on March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China passed the new Enterprise Income Tax Law (“EIT Law”), and on November 28, 2007, the State Council of China passed the Implementing Rules for the EIT Law (“Implementing Rules”), which took effect on January 1, 2008. The EIT Law and Implementing Rules impose a unified EIT of 25.0% on all domestic-invested enterprises and FIEs, unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions. Therefore, nearly all FIEs are subject to the new tax rate alongside other domestic businesses rather than benefiting from the FEIT, and its associated preferential tax treatments, beginning January 1, 2008.

43


Despite these changes, the EIT Law gives existing FIEs a five-year grandfather period during which they can continue to enjoy their existing preferential tax treatments. We are expecting that the measures to implement the grandfather period will be enacted by the Chinese government in the coming months and will assess what the impact of the new regulations are at that time. The discontinuation of any such special or preferential tax treatment or other incentives would have an adverse affect on any organization’s business, fiscal condition and current operations in China.

In addition to the changes to the current tax structure, under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a resident enterprise and will normally be subject to an EIT of 25.0% on its global income. The Implementing Rules define the term “de facto management bodies” as “an establishment that exercises, in substance, overall management and control over the production, business, personnel, accounting, etc., of a Chinese enterprise.” If the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we should be classified as a resident enterprise, then the organization’s global income will be subject to PRC income tax of 25.0%. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the above tax rules did not have any material financial impact on the Company because we did not have any income from outside of the PRC in 2009.

The Group Company, Zhangcheng Media, Xinjiang Zhangcheng, and Dajian Zhitong are subject to a tax rate of 25% on the taxable income for PRC income tax purposes under the new EIT Law in 2009. PKU, China TranWiseway, UNISITS, Beijing UNISITS, and Hangzhou UNISITS are subject to a tax rate of 15% on the taxable income for PRC income tax purposes in 2009. Beijing Tian Hao, Beijing Zhangcheng and Shanghai Yootu qualify as “new or high-technology enterprises” located in High-Tech Zones in Beijing and Shanghai, and are entitled to tax exemptions or preferential tax rates on the taxable income for PRC income tax purposes in 2009. Henan UNISITS are subject to a special rate of 2.5% for its taxable revenue in 2009.

Results of Operations

For the year ended December 31, 2009, our revenues increased to $63.69 million, an increase of 116.84% over 2008. Gross profit was up 53.76% from the previous year, increasing from $16.5 million to $25.38 million, and operating income reached $13.71 million, an increase of 20.02%. Finally, the Company’s net income for the year increased 16.98% to $12.97 million from $11.09 million in 2008.

As these results show, the Company had a successful year of significant growth in 2009. It was the second successful year of transition for the Company as we evolved from a Geo-GIS custom software producer to a comprehensive transportation information solutions provider. As a result, transportation products and solutions have continued to comprise an increasingly larger portion of our revenue throughout the year. For 2009, revenue from this area accounted for 85.95%, growing from 62.76% in 2008. Our digital city and land resources urban planning software accounted for the remainder.

In 2009 we continued to provide customized transportation related software solutions to the national government and provincial and local level governments across China. One of our most high profile contracts was with the Wuhan Municipal Transportation Management Bureau to build a comprehensive transportation management system to collect, access, process and manage real time traffic data on all major roads in Wuhan. This project was the first large scale local comprehensive transportation management system in China. With a high degree of brand recognition and strong governmental relationships, we believe that we will continue to work closely with various governmental agencies to accommodate China’s continued transportation planning needs.

Our consumer-targeted new real time traffic data application business was also continuously enhanced this year. In August 2009, we launched China’s first multi-city real-time traffic website and mobile phone software with current coverage in 10 major cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Shenzhen and Tianjin. In October, our mobile software application, Palmcity Live Traffic, was added to China Telecom’s Surfing Space AppMarket. While mobile users can currently download this application for free as the AppMarket is in its initial beta phase, we expect to monetize the application once the AppMarket launches commercially. We also expect that more high-end cell phone manufactures will install this application on new handsets to satisfy growing consumer demand for real time traffic data.

44


We also launched in August 2009 our new product, the TransPLE, an equipment and monitoring service system, which tracks transit passengers in high density areas, such as metro stations, railway stations, and airports. The technology utilizes multi-modal sensor networks composed of several laser scanners and cameras to detect and analyze pedestrian flow quantity, density, speed, and direction. As a result, the TransPLE can assist government authorities to develop and expand high-traffic transportation centers with optimal configurations for pedestrian flow, as well as support public safety with crowd control, emergency response, and anti-terrorism activities.

Our most important and strategic business development during 2009 was our expansion into intelligent transportation systems for expressways through indirect acquisition of a 35.17% equity interest in UNISITS in September 2009. UNISITS is a leader in China’s intelligent transportation systems industry, providing traffic engineering E&M systems for expressways in China. Presently, the company has a presence in more than 20 provinces in the country. UNISITS collaborates with Tsinghua University to develop an expressway weight-in-motion system and lighting control system, both of which have been utilized by several provinces in China. We believe that UNISITS is an excellent complement to our business, allowing us to take advantage of the many synergies between our two companies. We plan to leverage UNISITS’ established market position in the expressway market with our leadership in the urban transportation market to better penetrate markets for our products and services.

Revenues. Revenues increased approximately $34.32 million, or 116.84% to approximately $63.69 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, from approximately $29.37 million in 2008. Approximately 105.79% of this increase is attributable to the increase in sales of our transportation products in 2009, which had approximately 196.96% increase year over year compared to 2008. Such increase mainly resulted from the successful execution of the Company’s major business since it started shifting to the transportation business in late 2007 and the rapidly developing market opportunities in the transportation information sector in China, as well as our consolidation of the financial results of UNISITS since September 2009. However, our Digital City and Land and Resource businesses in total experienced about 22.52% decrease compared to the same period of 2008 because we did not actively pursue Digital City and Land and Resource businesses during 2009 even though we believe these two businesses are still experiencing healthy development and growth in China. In addition, we believe that the overall sales increased as a result of the growing recognition of our brand name and technology. During 2009, the Company had been constantly offering new products and solutions to the market and was able to secure more contracts from recurring clients.

The following table illustrates the revenues from the Chinese government sectors and regulated industries in which we sell our products and services for the periods indicated. The table also provides the percentage of total revenues represented by each listed sector.

Total $  63,686,121     100.00%   $  29,370,463     100.00%  

As the table above indicates, the Transportation and Digital City sectors accounted for an aggregate of 96.78% and 91.32% of our sales for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Sales in Land and Resources accounted for 2.38% and 8.42% of total sales over each of periods indicated above, respectively.

Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales increased approximately $25.44 million, or 197.73%, to approximately $38.31 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, from approximately $12.87 million in 2008. This increase was mainly due to the increase in the costs of hardware components and hardware equipment depreciation, which was generally in line with the increase in our sales. Such increase in the costs of hardware components were also due to the consolidation of the financial results of UNISITS, whose business involves using more hardware components in its products than the Company’s legacy transportation business. As a percentage of revenues, the cost of sales increased to 60.15% during the year ended December 31, 2009 from 43.81% in 2008 due to the fact that the business of UNISITS involves using more hardware components in its products and has much lower margin than the Company’s legacy business.

The following table illustrates in detail the items constituting our costs of goods sold.

    Year ended     Year ended  
    December 31     December 31  
Cost Item   2009     2008  
Salary $  1,900,370   $  1,311,126  
Hardware   23,444,889     5,647,874  
Software licenses   2,271,370     1,494,675

Others   3,808,923     795,467  
Total $  38,310,183   $  12,867,258  

Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased approximately $8.88 million, or 53.76%, to approximately $25.38 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, from approximately $16.50 million in 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 39.85% for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of 16.34% from 56.19% in 2008. Our gross profit increase was mainly attributable to the increase of sales in 2009 in general. However, our gross profit increase underperformed our revenue increase from 2008 to 2009 by about 63.08%, which was mainly due to the inclusion of the financials of UNISITS whose sales generally involve more hardware components and have much lower margin than the Company’s legacy business during 2009.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Majority of our services and products are sold into the domestic Chinese market through contracts commissioned by the Chinese government. Various government entities and agencies either invite us to bid for a specific contract or award a contract to us on a non-bid basis. We are often invited to bid on contracts through our professional relationships and are awarded repeat business. Historically, we did not invest heavily in establishing a substantial marketing program. We promoted our products by developing relationships through Peking University, professional relationships with various agencies and municipalities and in participation in industry trade exhibitions. Our marketing expenses therefore were relatively low in comparison to our competitors who do not have a record of performance and brand recognition or well-established government contacts. Starting from the first quarter of 2009, we have enhanced our marketing efforts by organizing various industry trade exhibitions and conferences in order to further promote our corporate image and brand recognition within the transportation information industry in China.

Our selling expenses including sales representative commissions, promotion fees and marketing expenses, increased approximately $0.72 million, or 57.42%, to $1.97 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, from $1.25 million in 2008. As a percentage of revenues, selling expenses decreased to 3.10% for the year ended December 31, 2009, from 4.26% in 2008. The increase of selling expenses was mainly attributable to our expanded operations and sales volume as well as the enhanced marketing activities for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Our general and administrative expenses were approximately $9.70 million (15.22% of total sales) and approximately $3.83 million (13.04% of total sales) for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase of administrative expenses was mainly attributable to the increase of 314 employees, enhanced research and development efforts as well as more professional expenses associated with being a public company.

Income Taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2009, we recognized income tax expense of $0.68 million and effective tax rate of 4.40% while in 2008, we recognized an income tax expense of $0.06 million and effective tax rate of 0.53%. The increase in the income tax expense mainly resulted from the income tax paid or accrued with the increased taxable net incomes in 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash) of approximately $27.40 million and restricted cash of approximately $1.59 million. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statements periods presented in this report.

Cash Flow

    Fiscal Years Ended  
    December 31,  
    2009     2008  
Net cash provided by operating activities $  8,823,845   $ 2,508,578  
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities   1,674,998     (10,254,347 )
Net cash provided by financing activities   1,134,165     16,726,464  
Net cash inflow   11,277,956     9,280,226  

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $8.82 million in fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, which was an increase of approximately $6.31 million from approximately $2.51 million net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Such increase of net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to the increase of our sales and net profit for 2009 compared to 2008 as well as the increase in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on incompleted contracts, which was due to the fact that we received the payments from customers ahead of our working schedules on certain contracts. However, we also experienced significant increase in cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on incompleted contracts in 2009 compared to 2008 mainly due to the fact that our working schedules were ahead of billings based on the payment terms of certain contracts, which negatively affected our cash flows from operations. We also experienced the increase in other receivable, which consists mainly of performance bonds that we put into escrow accounts set up by our customers for contract performance purposes. Such increases were in correlation to the increase of our sales and also negatively impacted our cash from operations. In addition, we had increases in accounts receivable and accounts payable, which were mainly due to the increase of sales and business scale.

48


Investing Activities

Our main uses of cash for investing activities are payments relating to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $1.67 million in fiscal year 2009, an increase of $11.92 million from the $10.25 million net cash used in investing activities in fiscal year 2008. Such increase of net cash provided by investing activities was primarily attributable to the cash acquired from the acquisition of UNISITS.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 was approximately $1.13 million, while in the same period of 2008 we had approximately $16.73 million of net cash provided by financing activities. Such change was mainly attributable to the facts that we raised $15 million in the private placement transaction in July 2008 and the payment of dividends to original shareholders of UNISITS for undistributed earnings prior to the acquisition in September 2009.

Financing Agreements

On June 17, 2008, we entered into a short-term loan agreement with Beijing Bank, Youyi Branch (the “Bank”), pursuant to which the Bank has agreed to loan to us RMB 20 million (approximately $2.93 million) for working capital purposes. The loan had an initial annual interest rate of 8.964%, which was floating based on interest rates determined by the People’s Bank of China from time to time. The interest is payable on a quarterly basis commencing September 20, 2008. The loan expired on June 17, 2009 and was renewed on June 22, 2009 with an initial interest rate of 5.31% per annum, which is also floating based on interest rates determined by the People’s Bank of China from time to time. Under the terms of the loan agreement, we are subject to customary affirmative and negative covenants. The loan may be accelerated and the Bank may demand immediate payment of the principal and accrued interests upon the occurrence of an event of default which includes, among other things, a failure to make principal or interest payments, a failure to comply with other covenants and certain events of bankruptcy. As of the date of this report, a principal amount of approximately $2.93 million is outstanding. There are no financial covenants or ratios under this short-term loan agreement.

On July 17, 2008, we completed a private placement pursuant to which we issued and sold 2,586,207 shares of our common stock to SAIF Partners III L.P. As a result of this private placement we raised $15 million in gross proceeds, which left us with approximately $13.21 million in net proceeds after the deduction of offering expenses in the amount of approximately $1.79 million.

On September 29, 2009, PKU entered into a short-term loan agreement with Huaxia Bank, Zhichunlu Branch (the “Huaxia Bank”0, pursuant to which the Huaxia Bank has agreed to loan to PKU RMB 30 million (approximately $4.40 million) for working capital purposes. The loan had an initial annual interest rate of 5.31%, which was floating based on interest rates determined by the People’s Bank of China from time to time. The interest is payable on a monthly basis commencing October 20, 2009. The loan expires on September 29, 2010. As of the date of this report, a principal amount of approximately $4.40 million is outstanding. There are no financial covenants or ratios under this short-term loan agreement.

On February 24, 2010, the Company issued and sold a total of 1,564,945 shares of common stock to SAIF Partners III L.P. for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million.

Future Capital Requirements

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including our cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. We may, however, require additional cash due to changing business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. In addition, because substantially all of our revenues are generated from our indirect PRC subsidiary, Oriental Intra-Asia, after it receives payments from our VIE Entities under various services and other arrangements, the ability of Oriental Intra-Asia to make dividends and other payments to us is subject to the PRC dividend restrictions. Current PRC law permits payments of dividend by Oriental Intra-Asia only out of its accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Oriental Intra-Asia is also required under PRC laws and regulations to allocate at least 10% of its annual after-tax profits determined in accordance with PRC GAAP to a statutory general reserve fund until the amounts in said fund reaches 50% of Oriental Intra-Asia’s registered capital. Allocations to the statutory reserve fund can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to us in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends. As a result, if our existing cash and amount available under existing bank loans insufficient to meet our requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity securities, debt securities or borrow additional funds from lending institutions. We can make no assurances that financing will be available in the amounts we need or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The sale of additional equity securities, including convertible debt securities, would dilute the interests of our current shareholders. The incurrence of debt would divert cash for working capital and capital expenditures to service debt obligations and could result in operating and financial covenants that restrict our operations and our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional equity or debt financing as required, our business operations and prospects may suffer.

In September, 2009, the real property purchase agreement was verbally terminated by the parties and the prepaid amounts were returned to us in full.

We also entered into two additional lease agreements to lease office spaces at the 15th and the 16th floors of E-Wing Center, No. 113 Zhichunlu, Haidian District, Beijing, China.

2011   1,055,593  
2012   888,657  
Total $  3,145,836  

Effects of Inflation

Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor the price change and continually maintain effective cost control in operations.

50


Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.

Seasonality

Our results of operations are affected by seasonality and we typically see lower sales during the first half than the second half of a year. Such seasonality is mainly caused by governmental seasonal budgeting activities and behaviors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that require the more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of financial statements, including the following:

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, it's wholly owned subsidiaries Oriental Intra-Asia Entertainment (Asia Pacific) Limited, Intra-Asia Entertainment (China) Limited and Cabowise, its indirectly owned subsidiaries Oriental Intra-Asia, and the Company’s variable interest entities, or the VIE Entities, including the Group Company, PKU, Beijing Tian Hao , Beijing Zhangcheng, Xinjiang Zhangcheng, Zhangcheng Media, China TranWiseway, Dajian Zhitong, Shanghai Yootu, UNISITS, Hangzhou Ziguang Jietong Technology Co., Ltd., Hangzhou UNISITS, Henan Ziguang Jietong Technology Co., Ltd., or Henan UNISITS, and Beijing Ziguang Jinzhidun Information Technology Co., Ltd., or Beijing UNISITS. All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.

On February 3, 2009, the Company, through its indirect Chinese subsidiaries, Oriental Intra-Asia and PKU, entered into a series of equity transfer agreements with the Group Company, a company incorporated under Chinese law, pursuant to which the Company transferred all of its indirect equity interests in PKU and PKU's subsidiaries to the Group Company. The main purpose of this restructuring is to allow the Company to engage in online services, taxi advertising, and security and surveillance related business in China in which companies with foreign ownership, like the Company and its subsidiaries, are either prohibited or restricted from operating under the current applicable Chinese laws and regulations. Through the contractual or variable interest entity, or VIE, arrangements, the Company maintains substantial control over the VIE Entities' daily operations and financial affairs, election of their senior executives and all matters requiring shareholder approval. Furthermore, as the primary beneficiary of the VIE Entities, the Company is entitled to consolidate the financial results of the VIE Entities in its own consolidated financial statements under ACS 810.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VIE and VIE’s majority owned subsidiaries, which approximates 3% to 70% is owned by noncontrolling interests. All intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include accrued warranty costs, as well as revenue and costs recorded under the percentage-of-completion method. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Segment Information-- ASC 280 requires companies to report information about operating segment in interim and annual financial statements. It also requires segment disclosures about products and services geographic and major customers. The Company has determined that it does not have any separately reportable operating segments.

51


Cash Equivalents—The Company classifies all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less the allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at year end. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible..

Long-Term Investment— The Company classifies its investments as available-for-sale in accordance with ASC 320 “Debt and Equity Securities”, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, and are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses as a result of changes in the fair value of the available-for-sale investments are recorded as a separate component within accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company uses the cost method of accounting for investments in companies that do not have a readily determinable fair value in which it holds an interest of less than 20% and over which it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. For entities in which the Company holds an interest of greater than 20% or in which the Company does have the ability to exercise significant influence, the Company uses the equity method.

The Company’s investments also include privately-held companies where quoted market prices are not available and as a result, the cost method, combined with other intrinsic information, is used to assess the fair value of the investment. If the carrying value is below the fair value of an investment at the end of any period, the investment is considered for impairment. Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established.

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is over the lesser of the lease term or useful life of the improvement.

   

Useful Lives (Years)

 
Automobiles   5 -10  
Machinery and equipments   4 -7  
Furniture and fixtures   3 -5  

Amortization of Intangible Assets— Intangible assets primarily include the costs of capitalized R&D costs, costs for purchased intangibles and intangibles result from acquisitions. Purchased intangible costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which approximate 10 years. Intangible assets result from acquisitions and include developed technology, customer-related intangibles, trade names and other identifiable intangible assets with finite lives. With the exception of developed technology, these intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method. Developed technology is amortized over the greater of (1) the amount calculated using the ratio of current quarter revenues to the total of current quarter and anticipated future revenues over the estimated useful life of the developed technology, and (2) the straight-line method over each developed technology’s remaining useful life. Amortization of developed technology is recorded within cost of revenues. Amortization of customer-related intangibles, trade names and other identifiable intangible assets is recorded within operating expenses.

  • Existing Technology

China TranWiseway, one of the Company’s VIE entities, internally developed the Traffic Volume Long-Distance Monitoring and Data Center Platform technology. The useful life of the technology is estimated at 10 years.

  • ETC and GPS Technologies

The Company purchased software from third parties for total cash consideration of $1,184,057. This software was integrated into an Electrical Toll collection, or ETC, non-stop toll system and GPS technology. The Company plans to distribute fully integrated ETC systems with both hardware and software included. The estimated useful life of the technology is for 10 years.

52


As of December 31, 2009, the Company capitalized research and development costs of $2,676,054 after establishing technical feasibilities for its real time traffic information application software (GPS Technology). Amortization of the real time traffic information technology will not start until the application is completely developed.

  • Highway Monitoring and Control Technology

UNSITS, a VIE entity of the Company, possesses the Highway Monitoring and Control technology. The Company amortizes such asset on a straight-line basis over 10 years.

  • Contract Backlogs

UNISITS has certain intangible assets relating to earnings-generating service contracts that were independently valuated as an intangible asset for the equity acquisition purposes. The Company amortizes such asset on a straight-line basis over 2 years.

The company completed the annual impairment testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets during the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the Company determined that there was no impairment in any of these years. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of the last day of the fiscal year. These impairment tests must be performed more frequently if there are triggering events.

Revenue Recognition—The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and delivery of products has occurred or services have been rendered.

The Company’s revenue of service fees are primarily fixed price contracts. Revenue on eligible fixed price contracts is recognized on the basis of the estimated percentage-of-completion within the scope of ASC 605 and is consistently applied for all fixed price contracts. Such contracts include services provided for software development projects, IT outsourcing and solutions, system integration, and network integration services at fixed price arrangements with its customers. Progress towards completion is typically measured based on achievement of specified contract milestones, or other measures of progress when available, or based on costs incurred as a proportion of estimated total costs. Profit in a given period is reported at the expected profit margin to be achieved on the overall contract. This method can result in the recognition of unbilled receivables or the deferral of costs or profit on these contracts. The company did not incur any deferred costs for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. Management regularly reviews project profitability and underlying estimates. Revisions to the estimates at completion are reflected in results of operations as a change in accounting estimate in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known by management. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which the loss becomes evident. The provision includes estimated costs in excess of estimated revenue and any profit margin previously recognized. Any advance payments received from its customers prior to recognition of revenue is classified as a current liability as billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on incompleted contracts.

For taxi media advertising revenue, the Company recognizes deferred revenue when cash is received, but the revenue has not yet been earned. The Company recognizes taxi media advertising revenue ratably over the period in which the advertisement is to be published.

The Company has very limited system maintenance and technology upgrade services for the systems/platforms we have built for clients. In most cases, such service revenue were secured on separate contracts basis. Such service revenues are recognized ratably over the service periods.

Research and Development— Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with product development. Such costs related to product development costs are included in research and development expense until the point that technological feasibility is reached, which for the Company's products, is generally shortly before the products are released for the commercial use. Once technological feasibility is reached, such costs are capitalized and amortized to cost of revenue over the estimated lives of the products. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, research and development expenses were capitalized in the amount of $2,126,399 and $833,281 and were included in intangible assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Stock-Based Compensation — The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (formerly SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment), which requires the application of a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. During 2009, we granted stock options as part of our key performer stock-based compensation program, as well as stock options or restricted stock units to management and directors. During 2008, we granted both stock options as part of our key performer stock-based compensation program. The vesting of stock option grants may be based on time, performance, market conditions, or a combination of performance and market conditions. In the future, we may grant stock awards, options, or other equity-based instruments allowed by our stock-based compensation plans, or a combination thereof, as part of our overall compensation strategy.

53


The fair values of restricted stock awards with time-based vesting, including restricted stock and restricted stock units, are generally based on the market price of the stock awards at the date of grant. As permitted under ASC topic 718, we generally use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option grants. The Black-Scholes model relies on a number of key assumptions to calculate estimated fair values. Our assumed dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and have no present intention to pay cash dividends. Our expected stock-price volatility assumption is based on recent (six to twelve months trailing) implied volatility calculations. These calculations are performed on exchange-traded options of our common stock. We believe that using a forward-looking market-driven volatility assumption will result in the best estimate of expected volatility. The assumed risk-free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury security rate with a term equal to the expected life of the option. The assumed expected life is based on company-specific historical experience. With regard to the estimate of the expected life, we consider the exercise behavior of past grants and model the pattern of aggregate exercises.

We estimate forfeiture rates at the time awards are made based on historical and estimated future turnover rates and apply these rates in the calculation of estimated compensation cost. The estimation of forfeiture rates includes a quarterly review of historical turnover rates and an update of the estimated forfeiture rates to be applied to employee classes for the calculation of stock-based compensation. During 2009, forfeiture rates for the calculation of stock-based compensation were estimated and applied based on three classes, non-employee directors, executive management staff and other employees. At December 31, 2009, our annualized estimated forfeiture rates were 0% for non-employee director awards and 15-20% for both executive management staff and other employee awards. Then-current estimated forfeiture rates are also applied quarterly to all outstanding stock options and non-vested restricted stock awards, which may result in a revised estimate of compensation costs related to these stock-based grants.

If factors change and we employ different assumptions for estimating stock-based compensation expense in future periods, or if we decide to use a different valuation model, the stock-based compensation expense we recognize in future periods may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period and could materially affect our operating income, net income and earnings per share. It may also result in a lack of comparability with other companies that use different models, methods and assumptions. See Note to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 11 for further information regarding stock-based compensation.

Income Taxes—The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some or all of any deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company adopted ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes- Overall-Recognition, on January 1, 2007, which provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax position. The Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company did not recognize any additional liabilities for uncertain tax positions as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10-25.

Goodwill –The Company performs an annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31 each year in accordance with ASC subtopic 350-20, Goodwill (formerly SFAS No. 142), and updates the test between annual tests if events or circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company performs the annual review for goodwill impairments.

54


The annual test of the potential impairment of goodwill requires a two step process. Step one of the impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair values of reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, step two must be performed to determine the amount, if any, of the goodwill impairment loss. If the carrying amount is less than fair value, further testing of goodwill impairment is not performed.

Step two of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill against the carrying value of the goodwill. Under step two, determining the implied fair value of goodwill requires the valuation of a reporting unit’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination on the testing date. The difference between the fair value of the entire reporting unit as determined in step one and the net fair value of all identifiable assets and liabilities represents the implied fair value of goodwill. The goodwill impairment charge, if any, would be the difference between the carrying amount of goodwill and the implied fair value of goodwill upon the completion of step two.

For purposes of the step one analyses, determination of reporting units’ fair value is typically based on the income approach, which estimates the fair value of the Company’s reporting units based on discounted future cash flows.

The Company recorded $983,345, $189,748, $1,921,924, and $6,884,614 in goodwill in connection with its acquisitions (see Note 9) of equity of China TranWiseway, Dajian Zhitong, Shanghai Yootu, and UNISITS, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, the Company believed no goodwill was subject to the risk of impairment.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. The Company periodically evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) from the use of an asset were less than the carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value.

The assumptions used by management in determining the future cash flows are critical. In the event these expected cash flows are not realized, future impairment losses may be recorded. Management has determined that no impairments of long-lived assets currently exist.

Concentrations of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable, which are concentrated in a small number of customers in the Chinese governments. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, bad debt expenses totaled $5,767 and $31,571, respectively.

Translation Adjustment— The Company financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar ($), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currency is Renminbi (RMB). Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the consolidated statements of income. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Any differences are taken to profit or loss as a gain or loss on foreign currency translation in the statements of income.

In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the Company translates the assets and liabilities into U.S. dollar ($) using the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at an average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation from RMB into U.S. dollar are recorded in stockholders’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income. The exchange rates used for interim financial statements in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, are as follows:

    Average Rate for the year  
December 31,   2009     2008  
Renminbi (RMB)   RMB 1.00     RMB 1.00  
United States dollar ($) $  0.14661   $  0.14415

Renminbi (RMB)   RMB 1.00     RMB 1.00   
United States dollar ($) $  0.1467   $  0.1467  

Comprehensive Income—Comprehensive income includes accumulated foreign currency translation gains and losses. The Company has reported the components of comprehensive income on its statements of stockholders’ equity.

Fair Value Measurements— Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The adoption of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to the Company’s financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually did not have an impact on the Company’s financial results. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measure at fair value on recurring basis as of December 31, 2009, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (adjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability:

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are determined through market, observable and corroborated sources. The fair values of the Company’s long-term investments are unobservable data points and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity. The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, long-term debt approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 810-10-65, Consolidation, which applies to all companies that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. ASC 810-10-65 is effective for us on January 1, 2009. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We adopted ASC 810-10-65 on January 1, 2009 and the adoption of ASC 810-10-65 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

56


In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855, Subsequent Events. ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The standard, which includes a new required disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three related staff positions to clarify the application of FASB ASC 820 to fair value measurements in the current economic environment, modify the recognition of other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities, and require companies to disclose the fair value of financial instruments in interim periods. The final staff positions are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.

  • FASB ASC 820 (Transitional 820-10-65-4)—which provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities under FASB ASC 820 in the current economic environment and reemphasizes that the objective of a fair value measurement remains the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability at the measurement date.

  • FASB ASC 320—which modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and significantly changes the existing impairment model for such securities. It also modifies the presentation of other-than-temporary impairment losses and increases the frequency of and expands already required disclosures about other-than-temporary impairment for debt and equity securities.

  • FASB ASC 820-10-50—which requires disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments within the scope of FASB ASC 820 in interim financial statements, adding to the current requirement to make those disclosures in annual financial statements. The staff position also requires that companies disclose the method or methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and a discussion of changes, if any, in the method or methods and significant assumptions during the period.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued its final Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 168, ‘‘The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162’’ (‘‘SFAS No. 168’’). SFAS No. 168 established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (‘‘ASC’’) as the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance in the ASC carries an equal level of authority. The ASC supersedes all previously existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The ASC simplifies user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by reorganizing previously issued U.S. GAAP pronouncements into approximately 90 accounting topics within a consistent structure, without creating new accounting and reporting guidance. The ASC became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009; accordingly, we adopted the ASC in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Following SFAS No. 168, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates. The FASB will not consider Accounting Standards Updates as authoritative in their own right; these updates will serve only to update the ASC, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the ASC. For the discussion herein, we refer to ASC citations that relate to ASC Topics and their descriptive titles, as appropriate, and no longer refer to citations that relate to accounting pronouncements superseded by the ASC.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860, which eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, creates more stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale, clarifies other sale-accounting criteria, and changes the initial measurement of a transferor’s interest in transferred financial assets. FASB ASC 860 will be effective for transfers of financial assets in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009 and in interim periods within those fiscal years with earlier adoption prohibited. We will adopt FASB ASC 860 on January 1, 2010.

In September 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the revenue recognition of multiple element arrangements. The new guidance states that if vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, companies will be required to develop a best estimate of the selling price to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The accounting guidance will be applied prospectively and will become effective during the first quarter of 2011. Early adoption is allowed. The Company will adopt this guidance beginning January 1, 2010 and the Company does not expect this accounting guidance to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

57


In January 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and provides clarification for existing disclosures requirements. More specifically, this update will require (a) an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers; and (b) information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements to be presented separately (i.e. present the activity on a gross basis rather than net) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). This guidance clarifies existing disclosure requirements for the level of disaggregation used for classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and requires disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosure are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure requirements for related to the purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward activity of Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2010. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05, which provides additional guidance under the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic, ASC 820-10 Application to Liabilities. The guidance clarifies that the quoted price for the liability when traded as an asset in an active market is a Level 1 measurement, when no adjustment to the quoted price is required. In the absence of a Level 1 (quoted price) measurement, an entity must use one or more valuation techniques to estimate fair value in a manner consistent with the principles in ASC 820. We do not expect adoption of this guidance to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued an ASU regarding accounting for own-share lending arrangements in contemplation of convertible debt issuance or other financing. This ASU requires that at the date of issuance of the shares in a share-lending arrangement entered into in contemplation of a convertible debt offering or other financing, the shares issued shall be measured at fair value and be recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital. Further, loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs, at which time the loaned shares would be included in the basic and diluted earnings-per-share calculation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements .

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (Topic 605), or ASU 2009-13. ASU 2009-13 amends existing revenue recognition accounting pronouncements that are currently within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 605-25. The consensus in ASU 2009-13 provides accounting principles and application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated. This guidance eliminates the requirement to establish the fair value of undelivered products and services and instead provides for separate revenue recognition based upon management's estimate of the selling price for an undelivered item when there is no other means to determine the fair value of that undelivered item. The present standard requires that the fair value of the undelivered item be the price of the item either sold in a separate transaction between unrelated third parties or the price charged for each item when the item is sold separately by the vendor. This was difficult to determine when the product was not individually sold because of its unique features. In addition, if the fair value of all of the elements in the arrangement was not determinable, then revenue was deferred until all of the items were delivered or fair value was determined. This new approach is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14 which amended the accounting requirements under the Software Topic, ASC 985-605 Revenue Recognition. The objective of this update is to address the accounting for revenue arrangements that contain tangible products and software. Specifically, products that contain software that is “more than incidental” to the product as a whole will be removed from the scope of ASC subtopic 985-605. The amendments align the accounting for these revenue transaction types with the amendments under ASU 2009-13 mentioned above. The guidance provided within ASU 2009-14 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and allows for either prospective or retrospective application, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

58


In October 2009, the FASB issued an ASU 2009-15 regarding accounting for own-share lending arrangements in contemplation of convertible debt issuance or other financing. This ASU requires that at the date of issuance of the shares in a share-lending arrangement entered into in contemplation of a convertible debt offering or other financing, the shares issued shall be measured at fair value and be recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital. Further, loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs, at which time the loaned shares would be included in the basic and diluted earnings-per-share calculation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements .

ITEM 9A(T).  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, Mr. Shudong Xia and Mr. Zhihai Mao, respectively, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, Mr. Shudong Xia and Mr. Zhihai Mao concluded that as of December 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act defines internal control over financial reporting as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

59


  • Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

  • Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

  • Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on our assessment we determined that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting is effective at the reasonable assurance level based on those criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B.     OTHER INFORMATION.

We have no information to disclose that was required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K during fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, but was not reported.

The options vested in equal installments on a quarterly basis over a three-year period. For Mr. Trien, the first installment of 2,500 shares vested immediately on the grant date of May 1, 2008.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
China TransInfo Technology Corp.

Gentlemen:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of China TransInfo Technology Corp. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of China TransInfo Technology Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009

1. GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Description of Business—China TransInfo Technology Corp., or the Company, we, or us, was originally incorporated in Nevada on August 3, 1998, under the name R & R Ranching, Inc. to breed bison. In about March 2003, R & R Ranching Inc. sold its bison to Blue Sky Bison Ranch, Ltd.

The Company has experienced several corporate name changes: GloTech Industries, Inc. in March 2003, Intra-Asia Entertainment Corporation in December 2003, and China TransInfo Technology Corp. in August 2007.

On May 14, 2007, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Cabowise International Ltd., or Cabowise, a British Virgin Islands company, the stockholders of Cabowise, Weicheng International Inc. and Foster Growth Ltd. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, the Company, among other things, agreed to issue to the stockholders of Cabowise an aggregate of 10,841,491 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Cabowise. In addition, Cabowise agreed to assign its option to purchase a majority equity interest in Beijing PKU Chinafront High Technology Co., Ltd, or PKU, to the Company’s indirect Chinese subsidiary Oriental Intra-Asia Entertainment (China) Limited, or Oriental Intra-Asia.

Cabowise does not have any subsidiaries nor is it engaged in any business. Cabowise’s sole asset was its option to purchase an eighty-five percent (85%) interest in PKU,or the PKU Option. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, Cabowise agreed to assign the PKU Option to Oriental Intra-Asia. On May 14, 2007, Cabowise, the Company and Oriental Intra-Asia entered into an assignment and assumption agreement whereby Cabowise assigned the PKU Option to Oriental Intra-Asia. On May 14, 2007, Oriental Intra-Asia exercised the PKU Option, and Oriental Intra-Asia became the owner of an eighty-five percent (85%) equity interest in PKU.

The exchange of shares has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting since the shareholders of the PKU obtained control of the consolidated entity. Accordingly, the merger of the two companies has been recorded as a recapitalization of PKU, with PKU being treated as the continuing entity. The historical financial statements presented are those of PKU. The continuing company has retained December 31 as its fiscal year end.

During August 2007, the Company completed a 1-for-7.5 reverse split of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The capital stock accounts and all share data in this report give effect to the reverse split, applied retroactively, for all periods presented.

PKU is in the business of providing Geography Information System, or GIS, application services to the Chinese governments in the sectors of Transportation, Land and Resources, and Digital City. PKU offers GIS application services that cover GIS system planning, deployment, system construction, data testing, system audit and optimization, user’s manual and customer training, through self-developed GIS platform software products applicable for two-dimension and three-dimension system models. PKU was incorporated in Beijing, China on October 30, 2000.

In addition to PKU, the Company has the following operating variable interest entities:

1. GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

On February 3, 2009, as described below, through the Company’s indirect Chinese subsidiary, Oriental Intra-Asia and Oriental Intra-Asia’s former subsidiary, PKU, the Company entered into a series of equity transfer agreements with China TransInfo Technology Group Co., Ltd., a company formed under Chinese law (the “Group Company”), pursuant to which we transferred all of the Company’s indirect equity interests in PKU and PKU’s subsidiaries to the Group Company. Established in China on May 26, 2008, the Group Company is wholly owned by four Chinese affiliates of the Company, Shudong Xia, our Chairman, CEO and President and the beneficial owner of approximately 43% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock, Zhiping Zhang, the Company’s Vice President of Research and Development, Zhibin Lai, the Company’s Vice President and Wei Gao, the designee of SAIF Partners III L.P., a 12% shareholder of the Company (the “Group Company Shareholders”).

Through Oriental Intra-Asia and PKU, we entered into the following specific agreements to transfer all of its equity interests in its respective Chinese subsidiaries to the Group Company (the “Equity Transfer”):

  • Pursuant to an equity transfer agreement (the “PKU Equity Transfer Agreement”), entered into by and between Oriental Intra-Asia and the Group Company, Oriental Intra-Asia transferred all of its 97% equity interests in PKU to the Group Company;

  • Pursuant to an equity transfer agreement (the “Shanghai Yootu Equity Transfer Agreement”), entered into by and between PKU and the Group Company, PKU transferred all of its 100% equity interests in Shanghai Yootu Information Technology Co., Ltd. to the Group Company.

In connection with the Equity Transfer, on February 3, 2009, the following contractual arrangements were also made among relevant parties, which have given us contractual rights to control and manage the business of the Group Company and the Group Company’s subsidiaries (the “Contractual Arrangement” and together with the Equity Transfer, the “Restructuring”):

  • Pursuant to an exclusive technical consulting and services agreement (the “Service Agreement”), entered into by and among Oriental Intra-Asia, the Group Company and the Group Company’s subsidiaries, Oriental Intra-Asia agreed to provide certain technical and consulting services to the Group Company and the Group Company’s subsidiaries (each a “VIE Entity” and collectively, the “VIE Entities”) in exchange for the payment by each VIE Entity of an annual development and consulting services fee that is to be determined solely by Oriental Intra-Asia;

  • Pursuant to an equity pledge agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), entered into by and among Oriental Intra-Asia and each of the Group Company Shareholders, the Group Company Shareholders agreed to pledge all of their equity interests in the Group Company (the “Equity Interests”), to Oriental Intra-Asia as collateral security for Oriental Intra-Asia’s collection of the fees under the Service Agreement;

  • Pursuant to an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”), entered into by and among Oriental Intra-Asia and each of the Group Company Shareholders, the Group Company Shareholders agreed to grant to Oriental Intra-Asia an option to purchase, from time to time, all or a part of the Equity Interests, at the exercise price equal to the lowest possible price permitted by Chinese laws;

1. GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

  • Pursuant to separate powers of attorney (the “Powers of Attorney”), each Group Company Shareholder agreed to grant to Oriental Intra-Asia a power to excise on his or her behalf all voting rights as a shareholder at the shareholders’ meetings of the Group Company that have been given to him or her by law and by the Articles of Association of the Group Company; and

  • Pursuant to an operating agreement, entered into by and among Oriental Intra-Asia, the VIE Entities and the Group Company Shareholders, (a) Oriental Intra-Asia agreed to act as the guarantor for the VIE Entities in the contracts, agreements or transactions in connection with the VIE Entities’ operation between the VIE Entities and any other third parties and to provide full guarantee for the VIE Entities in performing such contracts, agreements or transactions, subject to applicable laws, in exchange for which the VIE Entities agreed to mortgage the receivables of their operation and all of their assets which have not been mortgaged to any third parties to Oriental Intra-Asia, and (b) the VIE Entities and the Group Company Shareholders agreed to accept the provision of the corporate policies and guidance by Oriental Intra-Asia at any time in respect of the appointment and dismissal of the VIE Entities’ employees, the VIE Entities’ daily operation and administration as well as financial administrative systems, including the appointment of senior managers recommended by Oriental Intra-Asia (the “Operating Agreement” and together with the Service Agreement, Pledge Agreement, Option Agreement, Powers of Attorney, the PKU Equity Transfer Agreement, the Beijing Tian Hao Equity Transfer Agreement, the China TranWiseway Equity Transfer Agreement, the Zhangcheng Culture Equity Transfer Agreement, the Zhangcheng Science Equity Transfer Agreement, and the Shanghai Yootu Equity Transfer Agreement, the “Restructuring Documents”).

The main purpose of the Restructuring is to allow the Company to engage in online services, taxi advertising and security and surveillance related business in China in which companies with foreign ownership, like the Company and its subsidiaries, are either prohibited or restricted from operating under the current applicable Chinese laws and regulations. As a result of the Restructuring, the Company transferred all of the Company’s indirect equity interests in PKU and PKU’s subsidiaries to the affiliated Group Company and accordingly, PKU and PKU’s subsidiaries became direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Group Company, which is wholly owned by the Group Company Shareholders who are all Chinese citizens. Through contractual agreement, the Company acts as the primary beneficiary and maintains substantial control over the variable interest entities’ daily operations and financial affairs, election of their senior executives and all matters requiring shareholders approval. Furthermore, as the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entities, the Company , under FASB Interpretation No. 46R “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (ASC Topic 810 “Consolidation”), the Company is entitled to consolidate the variable interest entities into the Company’s financial statements because the Contractual Arrangement provides the Company with the risks and rewards associated with equity ownership, even though the Company does not own any of the outstanding equity interests in any of the variable interest entities. As a result the Restructuring, the Company is able to engage in these three business areas through the variable interest entities and derive the economic benefits that the Company would otherwise have as the owner of variable interest entities while still complying with Chinese laws.

The following charts reflect our organizational structure as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively:

1. GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include accrued warranty costs, as well as revenue and costs recorded under the percentage-of-completion method. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Segment Information-- ASC 280 requires companies to report information about operating segment in interim and annual financial statements. It also requires segment disclosures about products and services geographic and major customers. The Company has determined that it does not have any separately reportable operating segments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company classifies all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less the allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at year end. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible.

Long-Term Investments— The Company classifies long-term investments as available-for-sale in accordance with ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, and are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses as a result of changes in the fair value of the available-for-sale investments are recorded as a separate component within accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company uses the cost method of accounting for investments in companies that do not have a readily determinable fair value in which it holds an interest of less than 20% and over which it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. For entities in which the Company holds an interest of greater than 20% or in which the Company does have the ability to exercise significant influence, the Company uses the equity method.

The Company’s investments also include privately-held companies where quoted market prices are not available and as a result, the cost method, combined with other intrinsic information, is used to assess the fair value of the investment. If the carrying value is below the fair value of an investment at the end of any period, the investment is considered for impairment. Investments are considered to be impaired when a decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established.

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Amortization of leasehold improvements is over the lesser of the lease term or useful life of the improvement.

   

Useful Lives (Years)

 
Automobiles   5 -10  
Machinery and equipments   4 -7  
Furniture and fixtures   3 -5  

Amortization of Intangible Assets— Intangible assets primarily include the costs of capitalized R&D costs, costs for purchased intangibles and intangibles result from acquisitions. Purchased intangible costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which approximate 10 years. Intangible assets result from acquisitions and include developed technology, customer-related intangibles, trade names and other identifiable intangible assets with finite lives. With the exception of developed technology, these intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method. Developed technology is amortized over the greater of (1) the amount calculated using the ratio of current quarter revenues to the total of current quarter and anticipated future revenues over the estimated useful life of the developed technology, and (2) the straight-line method over each developed technology’s remaining useful life. Amortization of developed technology is recorded within cost of revenues. Amortization of customer-related intangibles, trade names and other identifiable intangible assets is recorded within operating expenses.

1) Existing Technology

China TranWiseway, one of the Company’s VIE entities, internally developed the Traffic Volume Long-Distance Monitoring and Data Center Platform technology. The useful life of the technology is estimated at 10 years.

(2) ETC and GPS Technologies

The Company purchased software from third parties for total cash consideration of $1,184,057. This software was integrated into an Electrical Toll collection, or ETC, non-stop toll system and GPS technology. The Company plans to distribute fully integrated ETC systems with both hardware and software included. The estimated useful life of the technology is for 10 years.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company capitalized research and development costs of $2,676,054 after establishing technical feasibilities for its real time traffic information application software (GPS Technology). Amortization of the real time traffic information technology will not start until the application is completely developed.

(3) Highway Monitoring and Control Technology

UNSITS, a VIE entity of the Company, possesses the Highway Monitoring and Control technology. The Company amortizes such asset on a straight-line basis over 10 years.

(4) Contract Backlogs

UNISITS has certain intangible assets relating to earnings-generating service contracts that were independently valuated as an intangible asset for the equity acquisition purposes. The Company amortizes such asset on a straight-line basis over 2 years.

The company completed the annual impairment testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets during the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the Company determined that there was no impairment in any of these years. The Company performs its annual impairment test as of the last day of the fiscal year. These impairment tests must be performed more frequently if there are triggering events.

Revenue Recognition— The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and delivery of products has occurred or services have been rendered.

The Company’s revenue of service fees are primarily fixed price contracts. Revenue on eligible fixed price contracts is recognized on the basis of the estimated percentage-of-completion within the scope of ASC 605 and is consistently applied for all fixed price contracts. Such contracts include services provided for software development projects, IT outsourcing and solutions, system integration, and network integration services at fixed price arrangements with its customers. Progress towards completion is typically measured based on achievement of specified contract milestones, or other measures of progress when available, or based on costs incurred as a proportion of estimated total costs. Profit in a given period is reported at the expected profit margin to be achieved on the overall contract. This method can result in the recognition of unbilled receivables or the deferral of costs or profit on these contracts. The company did not incur any deferred costs for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. Management regularly reviews project profitability and underlying estimates. Revisions to the estimates at completion are reflected in results of operations as a change in accounting estimate in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known by management. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which the loss becomes evident. The provision includes estimated costs in excess of estimated revenue and any profit margin previously recognized. Any advance payments received from its customers prior to recognition of revenue is classified as a current liability as billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on incompleted contracts.

For taxi media advertising revenue, the Company recognizes deferred revenue when cash is received, but the revenue has not yet been earned. The Company recognizes taxi media advertising revenue ratably over the period in which the advertisement is to be published.

1. GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The Company has very limited system maintenance and technology upgrade services for the systems/platforms we have built for clients. In most cases, such service revenue were secured on separate contracts basis. Such service revenues are recognized ratably over the service periods.

Research and Development— Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, and other headcount-related expenses associated with product development. Such costs related to product development costs are included in research and development expense until the point that technological feasibility is reached, which for the Company's products, is generally shortly before the products are released for the commercial use. Once technological feasibility is reached, such costs are capitalized and amortized to cost of revenue over the estimated lives of the products. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, research and development expenses were capitalized in the amount of $2,126,399 and $833,281 and were included in intangible assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Stock-Based Compensation — The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (formerly SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment), which requires the application of a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. During 2009, we granted stock options as part of our key performer stock-based compensation program, as well as stock options or restricted stock units to management and directors. During 2008, we granted both stock options as part of our key performer stock-based compensation program. The vesting of stock option grants may be based on time, performance, market conditions, or a combination of performance and market conditions. In the future, we may grant stock awards, options, or other equity-based instruments allowed by our stock-based compensation plans, or a combination thereof, as part of our overall compensation strategy.

The fair values of restricted stock awards with time-based vesting, including restricted stock and restricted stock units, are generally based on the intrinsic values of the awards at the date of grant. As permitted under ASC topic 718, we generally use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option grants. The Black-Scholes model relies on a number of key assumptions to calculate estimated fair values. Our assumed dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and have no present intention to pay cash dividends. Our expected stock-price volatility assumption is based on recent (six to twelve months trailing) implied volatility calculations. These calculations are performed on exchange-traded options of our common stock. We believe that using a forward-looking market-driven volatility assumption will result in the best estimate of expected volatility. The assumed risk-free interest rate is the U.S. Treasury security rate with a term equal to the expected life of the option. The assumed expected life is based on company-specific historical experience. With regard to the estimate of the expected life, we consider the exercise behavior of past grants and model the pattern of aggregate exercises.

We estimate forfeiture rates at the time awards are made based on historical and estimated future turnover rates and apply these rates in the calculation of estimated compensation cost. The estimation of forfeiture rates includes a quarterly review of historical turnover rates and an update of the estimated forfeiture rates to be applied to employee classes for the calculation of stock-based compensation. During 2009, forfeiture rates for the calculation of stock-based compensation were estimated and applied based on three classes, non-employee directors, executive management staff and other employees. At December 31, 2009, our annualized estimated forfeiture rates were 0% for non-employee director awards and 15-20% for both executive management staff and other employee awards. Then-current estimated forfeiture rates are also applied quarterly to all outstanding stock options and non-vested restricted stock awards, which may result in a revised estimate of compensation costs related to these stock-based grants.

If factors change and we employ different assumptions for estimating stock-based compensation expense in future periods, or if we decide to use a different valuation model, the stock-based compensation expense we recognize in future periods may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period and could materially affect our operating income, net income and earnings per share. It may also result in a lack of comparability with other companies that use different models, methods and assumptions. See Note to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 10 for further information regarding stock-based compensation.

Income Taxes—The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some or all of any deferred tax assets will not be realized.

1. GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The Company adopted ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes- Overall-Recognition, on January 1, 2007, which provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax position. The Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company did not recognize any additional liabilities for uncertain tax positions as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10-25.

Goodwill –The Company performs an annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31 each year in accordance with ASC subtopic 350-20, Goodwill (formerly SFAS No. 142), and updates the test between annual tests if events or circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company performs the annual review for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which the Company has determined to be an operating segment.

The annual test of the potential impairment of goodwill requires a two step process. Step one of the impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair values of reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, step two must be performed to determine the amount, if any, of the goodwill impairment loss. If the carrying amount is less than fair value, further testing of goodwill impairment is not performed.

Step two of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill against the carrying value of the goodwill. Under step two, determining the implied fair value of goodwill requires the valuation of a reporting unit’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination on the testing date. The difference between the fair value of the entire reporting unit as determined in step one and the net fair value of all identifiable assets and liabilities represents the implied fair value of goodwill. The goodwill impairment charge, if any, would be the difference between the carrying amount of goodwill and the implied fair value of goodwill upon the completion of step two.

For purposes of the step one analyses, determination of reporting units’ fair value is typically based on the income approach, which estimates the fair value of the Company’s reporting units based on discounted future cash flows.

The Company recorded $983,345, $189,748, $1,921,924, and $6,884,614 in goodwill in connection with its acquisitions (see Note 9) of equity of China TranWiseway, Dajian Zhitong, Shanghai Yootu, and UNISITS, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, the Company believed no goodwill was subject to the risk of impairment.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. The Company periodically evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) from the use of an asset were less than the carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value.

The assumptions used by management in determining the future cash flows are critical. In the event these expected cash flows are not realized, future impairment losses may be recorded. Management has determined that no impairments of long-lived assets currently exist.

Concentrations of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable, which are concentrated in a small number of customers in the Chinese governments. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, bad debt expenses totaled $5,767 and $31,571, respectively.

Translation Adjustment— The Company financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar ($), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currency is Renminbi (RMB). Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the consolidated statements of income. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Any differences are taken to profit or loss as a gain or loss on foreign currency translation in the statements of income.

In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the Company translates the assets and liabilities into U.S. dollar ($) using the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at an average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation from RMB into U.S. dollar are recorded in stockholders’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income. The exchange rates used for interim financial statements in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, are as follows:

Comprehensive Income—Comprehensive income includes accumulated foreign currency translation gains and losses. The Company has reported the components of comprehensive income on its statements of stockholders’ equity.

Fair Value Measurements— Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The adoption of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to the Company’s financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually did not have an impact on the Company’s financial results. The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measure at fair value on recurring basis as of December 31, 2009, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (adjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability:

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 810-10-65, Consolidation, which applies to all companies that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. ASC 810-10-65 is effective for us on January 1, 2009. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We adopted ASC 810-10-65 on January 1, 2009 and the adoption of ASC 810-10-65 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855, Subsequent Events. ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The standard, which includes a new required disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three related staff positions to clarify the application of FASB ASC 820 to fair value measurements in the current economic environment, modify the recognition of other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities, and require companies to disclose the fair value of financial instruments in interim periods. The final staff positions are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.

  • FASB ASC 820 (Transitional 820-10-65-4)—which provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities under FASB ASC 820 in the current economic environment and reemphasizes that the objective of a fair value measurement remains the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability at the measurement date.

  • FASB ASC 320—which modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and significantly changes the existing impairment model for such securities. It also modifies the presentation of other-than-temporary impairment losses and increases the frequency of and expands already required disclosures about other-than-temporary impairment for debt and equity securities.

  • FASB ASC 820-10-50—which requires disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments within the scope of FASB ASC 820 in interim financial statements, adding to the current requirement to make those disclosures in annual financial statements. The staff position also requires that companies disclose the method or methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and a discussion of changes, if any, in the method or methods and significant assumptions during the period.

1. GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued its final Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 168, ‘‘The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162’’ (‘‘SFAS No. 168’’). SFAS No. 168 established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (‘‘ASC’’) as the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance in the ASC carries an equal level of authority. The ASC supersedes all previously existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The ASC simplifies user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by reorganizing previously issued U.S. GAAP pronouncements into approximately 90 accounting topics within a consistent structure, without creating new accounting and reporting guidance. The ASC became effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009; accordingly, we adopted the ASC in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Following SFAS No. 168, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates. The FASB will not consider Accounting Standards Updates as authoritative in their own right; these updates will serve only to update the ASC, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the ASC. For the discussion herein, we refer to ASC citations that relate to ASC Topics and their descriptive titles, as appropriate, and no longer refer to citations that relate to accounting pronouncements superseded by the ASC.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860, which eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, creates more stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale, clarifies other sale-accounting criteria, and changes the initial measurement of a transferor’s interest in transferred financial assets. FASB ASC 860 will be effective for transfers of financial assets in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009 and in interim periods within those fiscal years with earlier adoption prohibited. We will adopt FASB ASC 860 on January 1, 2010.

In September 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the revenue recognition of multiple element arrangements. The new guidance states that if vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, companies will be required to develop a best estimate of the selling price to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The accounting guidance will be applied prospectively and will become effective during the first quarter of 2011. Early adoption is allowed. The Company will adopt this guidance beginning January 1, 2010 and the Company does not expect this accounting guidance to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and provides clarification for existing disclosures requirements. More specifically, this update will require (a) an entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers; and (b) information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements to be presented separately (i.e. present the activity on a gross basis rather than net) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). This guidance clarifies existing disclosure requirements for the level of disaggregation used for classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and requires disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosure are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure requirements for related to the purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward activity of Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2010. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05, which provides additional guidance under the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic, ASC 820-10 Application to Liabilities. The guidance clarifies that the quoted price for the liability when traded as an asset in an active market is a Level 1 measurement, when no adjustment to the quoted price is required. In the absence of a Level 1 (quoted price) measurement, an entity must use one or more valuation techniques to estimate fair value in a manner consistent with the principles in ASC 820. We do not expect adoption of this guidance to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

1. GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

In October 2009, the FASB issued an ASU regarding accounting for own-share lending arrangements in contemplation of convertible debt issuance or other financing. This ASU requires that at the date of issuance of the shares in a share-lending arrangement entered into in contemplation of a convertible debt offering or other financing, the shares issued shall be measured at fair value and be recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital. Further, loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs, at which time the loaned shares would be included in the basic and diluted earnings-per-share calculation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements .

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (Topic 605), or ASU 2009-13. ASU 2009-13 amends existing revenue recognition accounting pronouncements that are currently within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 605-25. The consensus in ASU 2009-13 provides accounting principles and application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated. This guidance eliminates the requirement to establish the fair value of undelivered products and services and instead provides for separate revenue recognition based upon management's estimate of the selling price for an undelivered item when there is no other means to determine the fair value of that undelivered item. The present standard requires that the fair value of the undelivered item be the price of the item either sold in a separate transaction between unrelated third parties or the price charged for each item when the item is sold separately by the vendor. This was difficult to determine when the product was not individually sold because of its unique features. In addition, if the fair value of all of the elements in the arrangement was not determinable, then revenue was deferred until all of the items were delivered or fair value was determined. This new approach is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14 which amended the accounting requirements under the Software Topic, ASC 985-605 Revenue Recognition. The objective of this update is to address the accounting for revenue arrangements that contain tangible products and software. Specifically, products that contain software that is “more than incidental” to the product as a whole will be removed from the scope of ASC subtopic 985-605. The amendments align the accounting for these revenue transaction types with the amendments under ASU 2009-13 mentioned above. The guidance provided within ASU 2009-14 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and allows for either prospective or retrospective application, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued an ASU 2009-15 regarding accounting for own-share lending arrangements in contemplation of convertible debt issuance or other financing. This ASU requires that at the date of issuance of the shares in a share-lending arrangement entered into in contemplation of a convertible debt offering or other financing, the shares issued shall be measured at fair value and be recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital. Further, loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs, at which time the loaned shares would be included in the basic and diluted earnings-per-share calculation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements .

2. RESTRICTED CASH

The Company’s restricted cash balances at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $1,591,076 and $1,209,542, respectively.

In May 2008, PKU entered into equity transfer agreements with shareholders of China TranWiseway, pursuant to which, PKU acquired 70% ownership of China TranWiseway for a cash price of RMB 6,500,000 (approximately $953,550). China TranWiseway is a high-tech company specializing in transportation information system and application developments. On May 22, 2008, PKU entered into an agreement supplemental to the aforementioned equity transfer agreements. Pursuant to the supplemental agreement, PKU will make an additional capital contribution of RMB 7,000,000 (approximately $1,026,900) to China TranWiseway to increase the total registered capital to RMB 10,000,000 (approximately $1,467,000), and PKU’s ownership remains at 70%. The purchase price of the 70% ownership in China TranWiseway therefore was RMB 8,600,000, or $1,261,620.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of China TranWiseway have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

Included in the price was assumption of Dajian Zhitong's liabilities totaling RMB 1,639,518.

On October 13, 2008, a supplemental agreement to the aforementioned agreements was entered between Zhangcheng Media and the three shareholders of Dajian Zhitong. Pursuant to the agreement, Zhangchang Media will not pay the RMB 1,980,000 to the three shareholders nor assume Dajian Zhitong’s liabilities. Instead, it will make a cash contribution of RMB 9,000,000 directly to Dajian Zhitong. Other terms in the original equity transfer agreements were unaffected. Zhangcheng Media’s ownership in Dajian Zhitong remains at 85%. As a result of the supplemental agreement, the actual acquisition price of the 85% ownership of Dalian Zhitong was RMB 1,350,000=RMB 9,000,000 x (1-85%), (approximately $198,045). As of December 31, 2009, RMB 9,000,000 has been remitted to Dajian Zhitong.

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of Dajian Zhitong have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

On September 8, 2009, Shudong Xia, Chairman, CEO and President of the Company, entered into an equity transfer agreement with Unisplendour, pursuant to which Mr. Xia acquired 35.17% of the equity interest in UNISITS from Unisplendour for a cash price of RMB 44.4 million (approximately $6.53 million). UNISITS is a company organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China, engaging in the business of providing traffic engineering E&M systems, intelligent transportation products, and intelligent transportation services (ITS) to the domestic expressway, railway, and urban transportation markets.

Subsequently, on September 8, 2009, the Group Company entered into an option agreement with Mr. Xia, under which Mr. Xia granted to the Group Company a perpetual option to acquire all of Mr. Xia's equity interest in UNISITS for RMB 44.4 million (approximately $6.53 million), which is the exercise price. Concurrently, the Group Company acquired from Mr. Xia the rights to his share of all potential UNISITS dividends or other distributions. Mr. Xia pledged his equity interest in UNISITS to the Group Company for five years. The Group Company expects to exercise the option and take title to the equity interest now held by Mr. Xia upon the expiration of the five-year term of the pledge agreement when the option will first become exercisable. In September 2009, the Group Company and four of five board directors of UNISITS entered into an Acting in Concert agreement. The agreement allows the Group Company to govern the financial and operating policies of UNISITS and therefore to obtain the control of UNISITS. As a result, UNISITS became a variable interest entity of the Group Company and its financials has been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of UNISITS at the acquisition date is allocated as follows:

11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging- Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (formerly “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” or EITF 00-19), provides criteria for determining whether freestanding contracts that are settled in a company’s own stock, including common stock warrants, should be designated as either an equity instrument, an asset or as a liability under SFAS No. 133. Under the provisions of ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging- Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (formerly EITF 00-19), a contract designated as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value on a company’s balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in a company’s results of operations. It was determined that the Company's warrants qualify for accounting treatment under ASC 815-40 Derivatives and Hedging- Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (formerly EITF 00-19), " Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, A Company's Own Stock ". Under the terms of the warrant agreements, if the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares, the Company will be obligated to pay cash to settle the warrant claims. As a result, the Company must assume that it could be required to settle the warrants on a net-cash basis, thereby necessitating the treatment of the potential settlement obligation as a liability. The fair values of the warrants are presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as “Accrued Warrant Liability” and the changes in the values of these warrants are shown in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations as “Decrease in fair value of warrants liability.” Such gains and losses are non-operating and have no effect on cash flows from operating activities.

(1) Warrants

The Company recognized the share-based compensation cost based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation- Stock Compensation (formerly SFAS No. 123R).The Company issued warrants to Anteaus Capital, Inc., in aggregate, to purchase 277,778 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with merger related services on May 14, 2007, with an exercise price of $1.80 per share. These warrants will expire on May 13, 2014 pursuant to the common stock purchase warrant agreement. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the stock warrants on May 14, 2007. On May 14, 2007, the fair value was $3.97 per share, resulting in a share-based compensation totaling $1,104,166, which was recorded as a reduction of additional Paid-in Capital and an increase of Accrued Warrant Liability. On November 29, 2007, the Company and Anteaus Capital, Inc. entered an amendment to the Company’s common stock purchase warrants. The amendment eliminated the clause subject to which if the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares, the Company will be obligated to pay cash to settle the warrant claims. The 277,778 warrants issued to Antaeus Capital, Inc. have been re-valued at $1,039,807, and reclassified to Additional Paid-in Capital from Accrued Warrant Liability. The difference of $64,359 was recorded to Other Income account for the warrants at fair value.

The fair value for the share-based awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions listed below:

    May 14, 2007     November 29, 2007  
Expected volatility   203%     148%  
Expected life (years)   7     6.46  
Risk-free interest rate   4.6%     3.72%  
Expected dividend yield   0%     0%  

On November 30, 2007, the Company issued warrants to CCG Investor Relations Partners LLC, in aggregate, to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with investor relations services, with an exercise price of $5.00 per share. These warrants will expire on November 29, 2010 pursuant to the common stock purchase warrant agreement. The fair market value of these stock warrants was $200,105 and recorded as an increase in Selling, General, and Administrative expense and Additional Paid-in Capital. The fair market value was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in accordance with ASC 718 , Compensation- Stock Compensation, using the following weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield 0%; risk-free interest rate of 3.08%; volatility of 148% and an expected term of three years.

On June 1, 2009, the Board granted an employee 30,000 stock options with an exercise price of $5.09, which was the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market on such date. The options have a term of five years and expire on June 1, 2014. The options vest in equal installments on a semi-annual basis over a three-year period. On the same date, the Board voted to adjust the exercise prices of the stock options which were granted on May 1, 2008 and September 28, 2008 to $5.09 per share and replaced the stock options granted on January 7, 2008 with 150,000 shares of restricted stocks.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model, consistent with the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation- Stock Compensation. Key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the grant price of the award, the expected option term, volatility of the Company’s stock, the risk-free rate and the Company’s dividend yield. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by grantees, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company.

The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No dividends were assumed due to the nature of the Company’s current business strategy. The following table presents the assumptions used for options granted:

    Years Ended December 31,  
    2009     2008  
Risk-free interest rate   1.50% - 1.65%     2.37-3%

13. INCOME TAXES (Continued)

The effective income tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were approximately, 4.40% and 0.53%, respectively. The increase in effective income tax is primarily due to increase in statutory tax rate due to increase in pre-tax income.

The Group Company, Zhangcheng Media, Xinjiang Zhangcheng, and Dajian Zhitong are charged at the tax rate at 25% on the taxable net income for PRC income tax purposes under the new Enterprise Tax Law in 2009. PKU, China TranWiseway, UNISITS, Beijing UNISITS, and Hangzhou UNISITS are charged at the tax rate at 15% on the taxable net income for PRC income tax purposes in 2009. Beijing Tian Hao, Beijing Zhangcheng and Shanghai Yootu qualify as “new or high-technology enterprise” located in High-Tech Zones in Beijing and Shanghai, and are entitled to tax exemptions or preferential tax rates on the taxable net income for PRC income tax purposes in 2009. Henan UNISITS are subject to a special rate at 2.5% of its taxable revenue in 2009.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of its assets and liabilities. Deferred assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when deemed appropriate.

The tax effects of existing temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were as follows:

13. INCOME TAXES

No valuation allowance has been recorded against the deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 as the Company believes that it is more likely than not that all deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company adopted ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes- Overall-Recognition, on January 1, 2007, which provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax position. The Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company did not recognize any additional liabilities for uncertain tax positions as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10-25.

14. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company calculates its basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average outstanding shares to assume conversion of all potentially dilutive warrants and options include nonvested stock granted to employees. The Company uses the treasury stock method to reflect the potential dilutive effect of the unvested stock options and unexercised warrants. In calculating the number of dilutive shares outstanding, the shares of common stock underlying unvested stock options are assumed to have been delivered on the grant date.
