Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Jingwei International Limited and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jingwei International Limited and Subsidiaries (together the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows (together the “consolidated financial statements”) for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010.  The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

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 consolidated 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 audits 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 consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated 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 financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Corporation Information

The Company, formerly known as Neoview Holdings Inc. (“Neoview”), was established in Nevada, US on November 17, 2004, as a public shell company. On May 16, 2007, Neoview and Synergy Business Consulting LLC, a principal stockholder of Neoview, entered into a share exchange agreement with the stockholders of Jingwei BVI. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, Neoview acquired all of Jingwei BVI’s issued and outstanding shares from Jingwei BVI’s stockholders in exchange for the issuance to Jingwei BVI’s stockholders of 11,554,000 shares of Neoview’s common stock, constituting 86.4% of outstanding common shares of Neoview on a fully-diluted basis.

As a result of this share exchange transaction, Jingwei BVI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Neoview. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), the share exchange transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Jingwei BVI as the accounting acquirer and Neoview as the acquired party.

Immediately following the closing of the merger, Neoview changed its name to Jingwei International Limited (“the Company”), and consummated a private placement of 3,395,000 units on May 16, 2007, each consisting of one (1) share of its common stock and 0.3 of a warrant to purchase one (1) share of its common stock, at a price per unit of $5.00 for for aggregate gross proceeds of $16,975,000.

Jingwei BVI was incorporated in British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) in May 2006, and is a holding company without any operation.

Jingwei HK, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jingwei BVI, was established on October 31, 2006 in Hong Kong. It is engaged in telecommunication equipment sales, software development and e-commerce.

Jingwei Hengtong, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jingwei HK, was established in People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on February 8, 2007. It is engaged in computer hardware and software development, and business consulting services.

On February 8, 2007, Jingwei Hengtong entered into a series of contractual agreements (“Contractual Agreements”) for a ten-year term with Jingwei Communication, a PRC company established on May 8, 2001 to develop computer software and telecommunication equipments, to operate call center, as well as to provide internet and mobile value added service. Pursuant to the Contractual Agreements, Jingwei Hengtong has agreed to exclusively provide to Jingwei Communication technology consulting services, and bear all of Jingwei Communication’s operating costs, in exchange for all of its income from the business operations. Jingwei Hengtong has also agreed to guarantee Jingwei Communication’s performance of its obligations under contracts, agreements and transactions between Jingwei Communication and third party customers. In return, Jingwei Communication had pledged its accounts receivables and all of its assets to Jingwei Hengtong. Moreover, the stockholders of Jingwei Communication had also entered into pledge agreements with Jingwei Hengtong, pursuant to which they agreed to pledge all their rights and interests, including voting rights, in favor of Jingwei Hengtong. Jingwei Hengtong was also granted an option to acquire the equity interests of Jingwei Communication within 10 years for a purchase price equal to its shareholders’ original paid-in price or the lowest price permissible under PRC laws. Finally, Jingwei Hentong had made an interest-free loan to Jingwei Communications to fund its capitalization, which can only be repaid upon the shareholders of Jingwei Communications transferring their equity interests to Jingwei Hengtong.

The noncontrolling interest does not change since 100% of all income and losses are allocated to the Company in accordance with the Contractual Agreements.  Since there is no dividend distribution to noncontrolling interest, its balance changed between periods according to the exchange rate during that period.
 
PRC regulations prohibit direct foreign ownership of entities engaged in certain restricted businesses, including the provision of value-added telecommunications services in the PRC where certain licenses are required for the provision of such services. To comply with PRC laws and regulations, the Company engages in such businesses through contractual commitments with the VIEs, principally Jingwei Communication and the subsidiaries directly or indirectly controlled by Jingwei Communication, included New Yulong IT, New Yulong Software, Jiangsu Liandong, Beijing new Media, Xinguochuang and Haicom.
 
New Yulong IT, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jingwei Communication, was established on January 4, 1999 in Shenzhen, China. It mainly conducts mobile value added service, software development and computer information system integration,
 
New Yulong Software, wholly owned by Jingwei Communication directly and indirectly through New Yulong IT, was established on June 14, 2005 in Shenzhen, China. It is engaged in software development and computer information system integration.
 
Jiangsu Liandong, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jingwei Communication, was established on December 11, 2009 in Suqian, China. It is engaged in software development and computer information system integration,
 
Beijing New Media, a wholly owned subsidiary of New Yulong IT, was established on July 23, 2008 in Beijing, China. It is engaged in creating, planning and handling advertising, as well as providing branding strategy and sales promotions for its clients.

On November 9, 2010, Xinguochuang completed the acquisition of 100% equity interest of Haicom, a corporation registered in Shanghai, China that provides internet and mobile value added service platforms to telecommunication operators in more than ten provinces in China.
 
The Company presents its financial statements on a consolidated basis with those of Jungwei Communication and its subsidiaries, as a result of its controlling financial interest in accordance with ASC 810-10.
 
Description of Business

The Company is one of the leading providers of data mining and interactive marketing and software services in PRC. The Company's services include market segmentation, customer trend and churn analysis, fraud detection and direct marketing services such as telemarketing, direct mailing and wireless value added services. The Company also operates a software services business, which provides a broad range of billing systems, provisioning solutions, decision support and customer relationship management systems for PRC’s leading mobile telecommunication carriers.

NOTE 2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a)
Basis of presentation and consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and its VIEs have been prepared in confirmity with U.S. GAAP. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company adopted the purchase method to consolidate Jingwei Communication, with the current assets and liabilities recorded at fair value which approximated their historic book value on February 8, 2007, the effective date (“effective date”) of the Contractual Agreements. The fair value of the acquired net assets of Jingwei Communication was $6.6 million on the effective date, after eliminating all the intercompany transaction and balances, and was recognized as noncontrolling interest on the consolidated balance sheet. The noncontrolling interest changes only for translation adjustments since 100% of all income and losses are allocated to the Company in accordance with the Contractual Agreements and there are no dividend distributions to noncontrolling interest. The noncontrolling interest amounted to $7.7 million and $7.5 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The change in amount was the result of foreign currency translation adjustment.

b)
Use of estimates

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the amounts of revenues and expenses during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates based on management's best estimation include, but are not limited to, the valuation of trade receivables and other receivables, inventories, the estimation on useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, the valuation of options, and allowance for deferred tax assets.

c)
Business combination

For a business combination with acquisition date on or after January 1, 2009, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree were recognized at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. In a business combination achieved in stages, the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, were recognized at the full amounts of their fair values. In a bargain purchase in which the total acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, that excess in earnings was recognized as a gain attributable to the Company.
 
 
F-8

 
 
Deferred tax liability and asset were recognized for the deferred tax consequences of differences between the tax bases and the recognized values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740-10.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, impairment tests are performed at least annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the best estimate of that loss is recognized in those financial statements.

d)
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes not only currency on hand but demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less. No cash and cash equivalents are restricted as to withdrawal or usage.

e)
Accounts receivable, net and other receivables

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original sales amounts less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed.

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s assessment of the collectability of trade and other receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the amount of the allowance and the Company considers the historical level of credit losses and applies percentages to aged receivable categories. The Company makes judgments about the credit worthiness of each customer based on ongoing credit evaluations, and monitors current economic trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. If the financial condition of the customers is to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance may be required.

Based on the above assessment, during the reporting years, the management establishes the general provisioning policy to make allowance according to the aging of trade and other receivables as follows:
 
Account and other receivables due:
     
Within one year
    0.3 %
After one year but within two years
    5.0 %
After two years but within three years
    20.0 %
Over three years
    100.0 %

Additional specific provision is made against trade and other receivables aged for more than one year to the extent when collection appears doubtful.

Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company does not accrue interest on trade and other receivables.

f)
Inventory

Inventories consist of direct materials, labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance and are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost of inventories is determined principally by the specific identification method.
 
 
F-9

 
 
Where there is evidence that the utility of inventories, in their disposal in the ordinary course of business, will be less than cost, whether due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes, a provision is accrued for the difference with charges to cost of sales.

g)
Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use.

Depreciation is provided on straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives as follows:

   
Estimated Useful lives (years)
   
Residual value
 
Leasehold improvements
    5       0 %
Motor vehicles
    10       10 %
Office equipment and computers
    5       10 %

Maintenance or repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from disposal is charged or credited to income.

h)
Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets represent database, software, strategic alliance, non-compete agreement, customer relationship, competed technology and partnership agreement. The value of the database and software was established based on historic acquisition costs. The valuation and allocation of intangible assets of strategic alliance, non-compete agreement, customer relationship, competed technology and partnership agreement were measured based on fair value.

The finite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, and are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently, if indications of possible impairment exist.

i)
Long term investment

Long term investment with equity interest of less than 20% is recorded at cost and carried at that amount until it is sold or otherwise disposed of or until it is written down. A write-down from original cost is appropriate when dividends received represent a dividend received in excess of earnings subsequent to the investment date. Otherwise, dividends received are recorded as investment income.

j)
Impairment of long-lived assets
 
The Company follows ASC 360-10 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets and intangibles are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment of long-lived assets and intangibles in the event that the net book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. The Company is not aware of any events or circumstances which indicate the existence of an impairment which would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
 
F-10

 
 
k)
Concentration of Credit Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held by major financial institutions located in PRC. With respect to trade and other receivables, the Company establishes credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s and other debtor’s financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade and other receivables and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts of trade and other receivables.

l)
Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, prepayments and deposits, account payable, accruals and other payables, and loan from a stockholder approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.

m)
Comprehensive income

The Company follows ASC 220-10 Reporting Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. For the Company, comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 presented includes foreign currency translation adjustments.

n)
Revenue recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Company’s activities as described below.

i.      Software and system services
 
Subject to these criteria and in accordance with ASC 985 Software Revenue Recognition, the Company generally recognizes revenue from software and system services when: a) a contract has been signed by the customers, b) the Company has delivered software and system services to the customers as defined by the customers receiving the work product, c) the project milestone delivered is assigned a fixed price pursuant to the percentage-of completion method of accounting, and d) evidence of customers’ acceptance of milestone achievement. The Company’s software and system services sale arrangements do not have multiple deliverables.

As the software and system services typically takes more than three months to complete, the Company accounts for the timing and amount of revenue using the percentage-of-completion method based on proportion of work done. The percentage of work done is determined based on milestones agreed in the contract and percentage of total contract value due to be paid upon achievement of such milestones. The amount due after reaching certain milestones agreed in the contract generally reflects the progress of work at that point.
 
ii.    Data mining services
 
Revenue from data mining services is recognized when the services are rendered.
 
 
F-11

 
 
iii.    Bundled mobile products
 
In accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue, net of taxes, when persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists or acceptance occurs, receipt of goods by customer occurs, the price is fixed or determinable, and the sales revenues are considered collectible.
 
These arrangements only require us to provide bundled mobile products, which include handsets and customized software, but not PCS, other services, deliverables or obligations on the part of the Company. As soon as the products are transferred to the customer, our performance is complete. The customer’s payments for the products are fixed. Therefore, these arrangements do not involve multiple deliverables, and are not deemed to be multi element arrangements in accordance with ASC 605-25 or ASC 985-605.
 
Under the guidance of ASC Topic 605-45, the assessment of whether revenue should be reported gross with separate display of cost of sales to arrive at gross profit should be based on the following considerations: the Company acts as principal in the transaction, takes titles to the products and has risk and rewards of ownership (such as the risk of loss for collection, delivery or return). During the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has recognized a large amount sales order of handsets with customized VAS softwares built in on a gross basis as the Company acts as the primary obligor in the arrangement, has latitude in establishing price and physically changes products in most cases, the Company recognized all revenue from these sales of bundled mobile product on a gross basis, based on ASC Topic 605-45. The sale of bundled mobile product is classified as data mining service for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

o)
Subsidy income

Subsidy income received in cash from government is recognized as income in the period received.

p)
Statutory and other reserves

In accordance with the relevant PRC regulations and the articles of association of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and VIEs, allocation from net income to the following reserves is required:
 
i.      Statutory surplus reserve
 
In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of PRC and the articles of association of our PRC subsidiaries and VIEs, these companies are required to appropriate 10% of their net income reported in PRC statutory accounts, after offsetting prior years’ losses, to the statutory surplus reserve. When the balance of such reserve reaches 50% of the respective registered capital of the subsidiaries, any further appropriation is optional.

The statutory surplus reserve can be used to offset prior years’ losses, if any, and may be converted into registered capital, provided that the remaining balance of the reserve after such conversion is not less than 25% of registered capital. The statutory surplus reserve is non-distributable.
 
ii.    Discretionary surplus reserve
 
In accordance with the articles of association of our PRC subsidiaries and VIEs, the appropriation of net income reported in PRC statutory accounts to the discretionary surplus reserve and its utilization are subject to the stockholders’ approval at their general meeting. None of our PRC subsidiaries and VIEs had appropriated their earnings to discretionary surplus reserve from their respective dates of inception to December 31, 2010.
 
 
F-12

 
 
q)
Income taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach which requires the recognition of income taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, if based on available evidence, it is considered that it is more likely than not that some portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers factors including (i) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, (ii) future profitability, and (iii) tax planning strategies.
 
r)
Warranty

The Company accounts for product warranties in accordance with ASC 450, Accounting for Contingencies. It provides for the estimated costs of hardware and software warranties at the time the related revenue is recognized. For hardware warranty, the Company estimates the costs based on historical and projected product failure rates, historical and projected repair costs, and knowledge of specific product failures (if any). The hardware manufacture generally provides a warranty for the first year of the life of the component. For software warranty, the Company estimates the costs to provide bug fixes, such as security patches, over the life of the warranty. The Company regularly reevaluates its estimates to assess the adequacy of the recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amounts as necessary. In its experience the cost of providing warranties has been immaterial.

s)
Functional currency and foreign currency translation

The functional currency of the operating subsidiaries in PRC is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”). However, the reporting currency is the United States dollar (“USD”). Assets and liabilities of these companies have been translated into dollars using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average rate for the year. Translation adjustments are reported separately and accumulated in a separate component of equity (accumulated other comprehensive income).

t)
Foreign operations 

Almost all of the Company’s operations and assets are located in China. The Company may be adversely affected by possible political or economic events in this country. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted.
 
The per dollar exchange rates adopted are as follows:
 
  
  
2010
  
  
2009
  
Year end RMB exchange rate
   
6.61
     
6.84
 
Average yearly RMB exchange rate
   
6.78
     
6.84
 

No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at the rates used in translation.
 
There has been no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to U.S. dollars after the balance sheet date.
 
 
F-13

 
 
u)
Share-based compensations 

The Company adopted ASC 718 Stock Compensation, effective on January 1, 2006. The Company recognizes the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions in its consolidated financial statements using a fair-value-based method. The Company measures compensation cost for all outstanding unvested stock-based awards made to its employees and directors based on estimated fair values and recognize compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The estimated fair value of stock options and stock purchase rights granted pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the management to make certain assumptions about the future. Estimation of these equity instruments’ fair value is affected by the stock price, as well as assumptions regarding subjective and complex variables such as employee exercise behavior and the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the award. Generally, the Company’s assumptions are based on historical information and judgment is required to determine if historical trends may be indicators of future outcomes. Where such historical information is not available, the Company applied the “Simplified Method” in accordance with ASC 718-10-S99-1 in valuation of all its options, which are granted at-the-money, nontransferable and nonhedgeable, and vest based upon a service condition alone. For stock options and common stock warrants issued to non-employees, they are measured as of the date required by ASC 505-50 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.

v)
Basic and diluted earnings per share

In accordance with ASC 260 Earnings per Share, basic earnings per common share is computed by using net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Potential common stock shares consist of shares that may arise from outstanding dilutive common stock options and warrants (the number of which is computed using the “treasury stock method”). The calculation of diluted earnings per common share assumes that outstanding common shares were increased by shares issuable upon exercise of those stock warrants for which the market price exceeds the exercise price, less shares that could have been purchased by the Company with related proceeds.

w)
Recently enacted accounting standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation—Stock Compensation (ACS Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. The ASU codifies the consensus reached in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 09-J. The amendments to the Codification clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity shares trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity.
 
 
F-14

 
 
The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Earlier adoption is permitted. The amendments are to be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this update on its consolidated financial statements.

The FASB has issued ASU 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810) - Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. ASU 2009-17 changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. This determination is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the Company’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance. ASU 2009-17 also required additional disclosures concerning an enterprise’s continuing involvement with VIEs. ASU 2009-17 is effective at the start of the Company’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This ASU requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 and now requires a reporting entity to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities and to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. As this standard relates specifically to disclosures, the adoption will not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, "Subsequent Events (Topic 855) - Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements." ASU 2010-09 requires an entity that is an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirement that an SEC filer disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. ASC 2010-09 was effective upon issuance. The adoption of this standard had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2010, FASB issued revised guidance on “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” The revised guidance specifies that an entity with reporting units that have carrying amounts that are zero or negative is required to assess whether it is more likely than not that the reporting units’ goodwill is impaired. If the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the goodwill of one or more of its reporting units is impaired, the entity should perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for those reporting unit(s). Any resulting goodwill impairment should be recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. Any goodwill impairments occurring after the initial adoption of the revised guidance should be included in earnings as required by Section 350-20-35. The revised guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.
 
In December 2010, FASB issued revised guidance on the “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” The revised guidance specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The revised guidance also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The revised guidance is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company has not early adopted the new guidance and is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

In 2010, except for the above ASUs, FASB issued several ASUs – ASU 2010-1 through ASU 2010-29, which are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 3.
BUSINESS COMBINATION
 
On November 9, 2010, Xinguochuang completed the acquisition of 100% equity interest of Haicom, a corporation registered in Shanghai, China that provides Internet and mobile value added service platforms to telecommunication operators in more than ten provinces. The Company will pay Haicom stockholders an aggregate purchase price of $8.2 million, including initial cash payment of $5.2 million in total and contingent consideration up to $2.99 million in the form of the Company’s common stock, subject to the achievement of certain performance goals.
 
The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and, accordingly, the acquired assets were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The Company preliminarily allocated the purchase price of $8.2 million to the assets acquired based on their estimated fair values, as follows:
 
   
Purchase Price Allocations (‘000)
 
Intangible Assets:

    3,143  
         
Total:
  $ 8,149  
 
 
F-16

 
 
In accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-05, Haicom was not a significant subsidiary as of the acquisition date, therefore no separate audited financial statements are presented. The results of operations of Haicom for the period from November 9, 2010 to December 31, 2010 had been consolidated.
 
The fair values of the intangible assets were determined using the “cost,” “income approach-excess earnings”, and “with and without” valuation methods. In performing the purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, forecasted financial performance of the acquired business and market performance of the acquired business in China.
 
The goodwill is mainly attributable to intangible assets that cannot be recognized separately as identifiable assets under U.S. GAAP, and comprise (a) the assembled work force and (b) the expected but unidentifiable business growth as a result of the synergy economies of scale expected from combining the operations resulting from the acquisition. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
 
The following unaudited pro forma information summarizes the results of operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 assuming that the Company’s acquisition of Haicom occurred as of January 1, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The following pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred had the acquisitions been completed at the beginning of the periods indicated, nor is it indicative of future operating results.

LONG TERM INVESTMENT

In December 2008, New Yulong IT invested in Shanghai Jiuhong Investment Group Limited (“Jiuhong”) for a 19.8% equity interest, as an initial attempt to expand its data mining service into commercial real estate leasing market with Jiuhong. The investment is accounted for under the cost method, as the Company does not have a significant influence over the business and operations of Jiuhong.

The Company did not receive any dividends in 2010, and has not received any dividends in excess of the proportionate share of accumulated earnings since the date of acquisition, as a reduction of the cost of the investment.

No event or change in circumstance indicates that its carrying amount of the long-term investment is not recoverable, and no impairment was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTE 10.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The Company uses the asset-liability method of accounting for income taxes prescribed by ASC 740 Income Taxes. The Company, its subsidiaries and the VIEs each files their taxes individually.

United States

Jingwei International Limited is subject to the United States of America Tax law at tax rate of 34%. No provision for the US federal income taxes has been made as the Company had no US taxable income for the periods presented, and believes that its earnings are permanently invested in PRC.

BVI

Jingwei BVI was incorporated in the BVI and, under the current laws of the BVI, it is not subject to income tax.

Hong Kong

Jingwei HK was incorporated in Hong Kong and is subject to Hong Kong profits tax. Jingwei HK is subject to Hong Kong taxation on its activities conducted in Hong Kong and income arising in or derived from Hong Kong. The applicable statutory tax rate is 16.5%.

PRC

The applicable income tax rates in 2010 for the Company’s PRC operating companies, New Yulong IT, New Yulong Software, Jingwei Hengtong, Jingwei Communication, Beijing New Media, Xinguochuang and Jiangsu Liandong, Haicom, are described as follows: New Yulong IT and Haicom are qualified as high-tech software enterprises and entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 15%, which is subject to government review and approval every three years. New Yulong Software, Jingwei Hengtong, Jingwei Communication are all entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 22% in 2010. Jiangsu Liandong is subject to 25% income tax rate in 2010. Beijing New Media as a small business taxpayer and taxed on a deemed basis, i.e. 2.5% of its reported total revenue, due to its small business status. In April 2010, State Tax Bureau approved Xinguochuang for its application for preferential enterprise income tax treatment, which exempted the entity from income tax for two years beginning with 2010, its first year of profitable operations, and entitled it to a 50% tax reduction to 12.5% for the subsequent three years and 25% thereafter.

The provisions for income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations consisted of the following:
 
   
December 31,
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
Current income tax expense
    327       1,384  
Deferred income tax benefit
    (198 )     (258 )
                 
Total provisions for income taxes
  $ 129     $ 1,126  

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities were as follows:

   
December 31,
 
   
2010

Deferred tax assets:
           
Allowances and reserves

Total net deferred tax liabilities
  $ 811     $ 545

Current deferred tax assets
  $ 413     $ 258  
                 
Current deferred tax liabilities
    259          
Non-current deferred tax liabilities
    965       803  
Total net deferred tax liabilities
  $ 811     $ 545  

In assessing the likelihood of realizing the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the net operating losses and temporary differences become deductible. Considering the Company’s profitable operating results in the past three years, and its projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies, management believes that the Company is able to generate sufficient future taxable income to reap the full tax benefits of deducible temporary difference.

The company adopted ASC 740-10 effective January 1, 2007 to account for uncertain tax position. ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with ASC 740-10 is a two-step process. The first step is recognition – we determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold, we presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement - a tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 related to unrecognized tax benefits.
 
Out of the total retained earnings of $28,948 as of December 31, 2010, undistributed foreign earnings from Chinese subsidiaries totaled $29,772. Those earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for US federal income tax or PRC foreign withholding taxes, if any, has been made. Upon distribution of those earnings, the Company would be subject to up to $2,977 of PRC foreign withholding tax. Furthermore, any dividends or any deemed dividends received by Jingwei, if any, would be subject to a 34% U.S. federal income tax.

Effective enterprise income tax
  $ 129     $ 1,126  

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $129 on income before income taxes of $10,013, representing an effective income tax rate of 1.3%, as compared to an income tax expense of $1,126 on a income before income taxes of $7,095, representing an effective income tax rate of 15.9% in 2009. The low effective tax rate is attributed to two factors: 1. In June 2010, Xinguochuang reversed its estimated enterprise income tax of $0.4 million recorded in 2009, upon the approval of Xinguochuang’s application for tax holiday. 2. To make the best use of Xinguochuang’s preferential tax status in the next few years, the Company started to shift a significant portion of business operations from New Yulong Software and other affiliates to Xinguochuang, resulting in a tax saving of $1,886 in 2010.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, if the Company’s subsidiaries and VIEs in the PRC were neither in the tax holiday period nor had they been specifically allowed special tax concessions, the income tax expense and earnings per share amounts would be as follows:
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
Change in income tax expense       
    2,368       822  
Net income per common share - basic
    0.13       0.05  
Net income per common share - diluted      0.13       0.05  
 
New Yulong IT and Haicom are qualified as high-tech software enterprises and entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 15%, which is subject to government review and approval every three years. Their current preferential tax treatments ended on December 31, 2010, and are currently under government review for renewal. Xinguochuang has been exempted from income tax until December 31, 2011, and will be entitled to a reduced income tax rate of 12.5% until December 31, 2014.
 
NOTE 11.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

On May 21, 2008, the Company adopted Jingwei International Limited 2008 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which authorized the Company to grant options for the purchase shares of common stock to employees, directors and consultants at prices not less than the fair market value on the date of grant for incentive stock options and nonqualified options. Shares as to which an option is granted under the Plan but remains unexercised at the expiration, forfeiture or other termination of such option may be the subject of the grant of further options.
 
On April 16, 2008 the Company granted a total of 63 key employees of the Company, options to purchase a total of 301,100 shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price equal to US$4.95 and vested equally in four years. The contractual term is 10 years and it is non-transferable. The options were valued at $2.278 on the grant date. The Company recognized $18 share-based compensation expense in 2010.
 
On September, 29, 2009 the Company granted to Rick Luk the CEO of the Company, options to purchase a total of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at strike price equal to US$1.64. The contractual term is 10 years. The options were valued at $0.883 per unit on the grant date. On June 29, 2010 the Company entered into an amended stock option agreement with Rick Luk to shorten the vesting period from three years in the original agreement to two years. The Company recognized $115 share-based compensation expense in 2010.
 
On February 23, 2010 the Company granted to Yong Xu, the CEO of the Company, options to purchase a total of 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price equal to $2.05 to be vested over two years. The contractual term is 10 years. The options were valued at $1.21 per unit on the grant date. The Company recognized $91 share-based compensation expense in 2010.
 
On September 7, 2010, the Company granted a total of 43 key employees of the Company, under the Company’s 2008 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan, options to purchase a total of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price equal to US$4.10 and vested equally in four years. The contractual term is 5 years and it is non-transferable. The options were valued a $2.02 per unit on the grant date. The Company recognized $60 share-based compensation expense in 2010.
 
The vesting periods of the options under the Plans are determined based on individual stock option agreements. Options granted to the officers generally were vested and became exercisable over two years. Options granted to the employees in 2008 and 2010 became vested and exercisable over four years at an equal annual rate of 25% from the date of grant. In total, there were 798,950 shares outstanding, including those vested and those expected to vest, as of December 31, 2010.

On June 12, 2008 the Company granted to Strategic Growth International, Inc (“SGI”) options to purchase a total of 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a premium strike price of US$7.00 per share as part of the compensation for investor relations service (the “Service”). The contractual term is 5 years. These options vest in 4 quarterly installments in equal amount of 25,000 beginning with the date of the grant and the balance of 50,000 vesting on June 5, 2009. Due to service termination by the Company, there were only 33,000 shares outstanding, all vested and exercisable, as of December 31, 2010. The Company recognized $0 share-based compensation expense in 2010.
  
On November 5, 2009, the Company granted ToneTat Investment Limited (“ToneTat”) options to purchase a total of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price of $2.10 per share as compensation for investor relations and financial advisory services. The contractual term is 3 years and it is non-transferable. On May 7, 2010, the Company executed an amendment with ToneTat to extend the service term to March 31, 2011, and to modify the vesting conditions of the last 300,000 options to require satisfactory completion of duties until then. The Company recognized $272 share-based compensation expense in 2010.
 
Per the above two agreements, the current vesting conditions and vesting schedule are as followings:
(a) be immediately vested and exercisable as to One Hundred Thousand (100,00) Shares as of November 5, 2009;
(b) become vested and exercisable as to an additional One Hundred Thousand (100,000) Shares upon the Optionee’s satisfactory completion of six (6) months of services;
(c) become vested and exercisable as to the remaining Three Hundred Thousand (300,000) Shares, upon satisfactory completion of services till 03/31/2011.
 
In accordance with ASC 505-50-25-7, the first 100,000 shares shall be recognized in November 2009, when these fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the Company and ToneTat enter into an agreement for services. Also, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the grantee to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date of November 5, 2009 has been reached, in accordance with ASC 505-50-30-15.
 
In accordance with ASC 505-50-30-11/12/13, a performance commitment does not exist based on the consulting agreement with ToneTat. Therefore, the Company recognized the compensation expense related to the additional 100,000 shares in the second quarter of 2010, when ToneTat’s performance is complete. The measurement date was decided to be May 5, 2010. 
 
The amendment on May 5, 2010 modified the vesting conditions for the last 300,000 shares to extend the service term until March 31, 2011. There is still no performance commitment from the consultant before completion of performance, as ToneTat may quit before completion, The 300,000 stock options are thus ultimately measured when performance is complete in 2011.
 
The Company entered into the amendment before the measurement date of the 300,000 shares based on the original agreement. Therefore, the Company did not recognize any compensation expense, nor record any modification entries in this regards in 2010.
 
 
F-22

 
 
In total 14,000 stock options have been exercised. The Company bought back 3,000 shares of public stock as treasury stock in 2010, and accounted for it as equity transaction under cost method.
 
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate of employee stock options.
 
The value of options granted was estimated on the date of the respective grant using the following weighted average assumptions:
 
    2010     2009     2008  
Weighted average risk-free rate of return
    2.56 %     0.63 %     3.20 %
Weighted average expected option life       
    3.76       4.07       5.63  
Weighted average volatility rate
    64.1 %     76.0 %     75.9 %
Weighted average dividend yield
    0 %     0 %     0 %
 
As of December 31, 2010, there was $861 unrecognized share-based compensation cost, which is expected to be recognized into the consolidated statements of operations over a weighted-average vesting period of 2.17 years. To the extent the actual forfeiture rate is different from the original estimate, actual share-based compensation cost related to these awards may be different from the expectation.

The Company has accounted for employee share-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair values of the awards. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value that ultimately will be realized by employees who receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company for accounting purposes.
 
In accordance with ASC 718 Stock Compensation, the Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense during year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 of $556 and $240 in connection with the issuance of these options.

NOTE 12.
BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares comprise shares issuable upon the exercise of share based awards, using the treasury stock method. The reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for income from continuing operations is shown as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

The Company had 2,251,565, and 1,439,640 common stock options and warrants outstanding in 2010 and 2009, respectively, which could have potentially diluted earnings per share in the future, but were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share in those periods, as their exercise prices were above the average market values in such periods.

NOTE 14.
VIE

To satisfy PRC laws and regulations, the Company conducts certain business in the PRC through the VIEs.

Resulting from the Contractual Agreements signed between Jingwei Hengong and Jingwei Communication, the Company includes the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Jingwei Communication and its subsidiaries in China (the “VIEs”) in its consolidated financial statements. The owners of Jingwei Hengtong and Jingwei Communication are different. Jingwei Hengtong is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jingwei International Investment (HK) Ltd, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As of March 8, 2012, Mr. George Du, Chairman and CEO of the Company, owns 41.1% of the outstanding shares of the Company. Jingwei Communication has three shareholders, who are Mr. George Du owning 90%, Ms. Guilin Yin owning 2% ,and Ms. Ailing Yin owning 8%, of the outstanding shares of Jingwei Communication, respectively.

 
On February 8, 2007, Jingwei Hengtong and Jingwei Communications entered into a series of VIE agreements for a term of ten years. Upon the execution of these agreements, Jingwei HengTong became the primary beneficiary of Jingwei Communications, which allowed the Company to consolidate the financial results of Jingwei Communications and its subsidiaries. The agreements with Jingwei Communications are described as followings:

Exclusive Technology Consulting Services Agreement. Pursuant to the exclusive technology consulting services agreement between Jingwei HengTong and Jingwei Communications, Jingwei HengTong has the exclusive right to provide to Jingwei Communications technology consulting services related to the design, development and implementation of computer software and the maintenance of networks, and provide access to Jingwei HengTong’s team of personnel who have extensive experience in information technology services. Under the terms of this agreement, Jingwei HengTong has agreed to pay all of the operating costs incurred by Jingwei Communications and Jingwei Communications shall pay bi-monthly service fees to Jingwei HengTong consisting of all income from the business operations. This agreement is for a ten year term expiring on February 8, 2017, with an automatic one (1) year renewal. During the term of this Agreement, Jingwei Communications shall not terminate this Agreement unless Jingwei HengTong engages in any gross negligence, fraud, other illegal acts or is confronted with the bankruptcy. Notwithstanding the aforesaid provisions, Jingwei HengTong may terminate this Agreement at any time with a written notice to Jingwei Communications within thirty (30) days in advance.
 
Operating Agreement. Pursuant to the operating agreement among Jingwei HengTong, Jingwei Communications and the shareholders of Jingwei Communications, Jingwei HengTong agrees to guaranty Jingwei Communications’s performance of its obligations under contracts, agreements and transactions between Jingwei Communications and third party customers. In return for the guaranty, Jingwei Communications has pledged its accounts receivables and all of its assets to Jingwei HengTong. The shareholders of Jingwei Communications have also agreed to appoint persons recommended by Jingwei HengTong to serve on Jingwei Communications’s Board of Directors and to appoint Jingwei HengTong’s managers as managers of Jingwei Communications. In addition, Jingwei Communications and its shareholders agree that without the prior consent of Jingwei HengTong, Jingwei Communications will not engage in any transactions that could materially affect the assets, liabilities, obligations, rights or operations of Jingwei Communications, including, without limitation, incurrence or assumption of any indebtedness, sale or purchase of any assets or rights, including intellectual property rights, incurrence of any encumbrance on any of its assets or intellectual property rights in favor of a third party or transfer of any agreements relating to its business operations to any third party. This agreement is for a ten year term expiring on February 8, 2017, may be extended only upon Jingwei HengTong’s written confirmation prior to the expiration of this Agreement and the extended term shall be determined by both parties hereto through mutual consultation. During the valid term of this Agreement, Jingwei Communications shall not terminate this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above stipulation, Jingwei HengTong shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time by issuing a thirty (30) days prior written notice to Jingwei Communications.
 
Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement. Under the intellectual property assignment agreement, Jingwei Communications assigned to Jingwei HengTong all of its interest and rights in certain intellectual property, including without limitation, certain trademarks, the ownership of Jingwei Communications’s consumer database, and a software copyright and license. Jingwei HengTong paid RMB1,000 for the intellectual property transferred under this agreement. Jingwei Communications agreed to take all actions and pay all expenses in connection with registering the intellectual property in Jingwei HengTong’s name.
 
Intellectual Property Agreement. Under the intellectual property agreement, Jingwei HengTong granted Jingwei Communications a non-exclusive, non-assignable and non-transferable license to use certain intellectual property, including without limitation, certain trademarks, consumer data bases, and a software copyright and license for use exclusively in the PRC. Jingwei HengTong will retain the sole and exclusive rights in the intellectual property, including any improvement, upgrades and derived products, no matter whether such products are created by Jingwei HengTong and Jingwei Communications. The annual license fee for all intellectual property is RMB1,000,000. Jingwei HengTong has the right to waive payment, or adjust the amount of any license fees at any time, during the course of the agreement. This agreement is for a five year term expiring on February 8, 2012, subject to early termination in accordance with the terms therein. On February 3, 2012, this agreement was renewed until February 7, 2013 by both parties. In the case of non-renewal of the agreement, Jingwei Communication shall not have any rights granted pursuant to this agreement and will refrain from further direct or indirect use of the intellectual properties identified in the Appendix of such agreement, upon and after the expiration or termination of such agreement. If that situation arises, which we deem as highly unlikely, Jingwei Communication’s ability to conduct its business may be materially and adversely affected, and the Company may even have to deconsolidate the VIEs.

 
Equity Pledge Agreement. Under this agreement between the shareholders of Jingwei Communications and Jingwei HengTong, the shareholders of Jingwei Communications pledged all of their equity interests in Jingwei Communications to Jingwei HengTong to guarantee their obligations under the amended and restated loan agreement and Jingwei Communications’s performance of its obligations under the technology consulting agreement. If Jingwei Communications or any of its shareholders breaches its respective contractual obligations under the amended and restated loan agreement or the technology consulting agreement, or upon the occurrence of one of the events regarded as an event of default under this agreement, Jingwei HengTong, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including the right to sell the pledged equity interests. The shareholders of Jingwei Communications agreed not to dispose of the pledged equity interests or take any actions that would prejudice Jingwei HengTong’s interest, and to notify Jingwei HengTong of any events or upon receipt of any notices which may affect the shareholders’ interest. The equity pledge agreement will expire two years after Jingwei Communications and its shareholders fully perform their respective obligations under the technology consulting agreement and the loan agreement.
 
Exclusive Option Agreement. Under the option agreement among Jingwei HengTong, Jingwei Communications and the shareholders of Jingwei Communications, the shareholders of Jingwei Communications irrevocably granted Jingwei HengTong or its designated person an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted by PRC law, a portion or all of the equity interests in Jingwei Communications for the cost of the original purchase price paid for the equity interests; provided, however, if under applicable PRC laws and regulations an appraisal is required, then the purchase price shall be the minimum amount of consideration permitted by applicable PRC law. In addition, Jingwei Communications and its shareholders agree that without the prior consent of Jingwei HengTong, Jingwei Communications will not take certain actions that may have a material adverse effect on the equity interests or the liabilities, rights or operations of Jingwei Communications. Jingwei HengTong or its designated person has the sole discretion to decide when to exercise the option, whether in part or in full. This agreement is for a ten year term expiring on February 8, 2017, subject to early termination in accordance with the terms therein.
 
Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. Under the loan agreement between Jingwei HengTong and the shareholders of Jingwei Communications, the shareholders confirmed that Jingwei HengTong had made an RMB2,000,000 interest-free loan to the shareholders of Jingwei Communications solely for the shareholders to fund the capitalization of Jingwei Communications. The loan can only be repaid upon the transfer of the equity interests from the shareholders to Jingwei HengTong and the use of the proceeds from such transfer to repay the loan. This agreement is for a ten year term expiring on February 8, 2017, subject to acceleration and extension in accordance with the terms therein.

As a result of the Operating Agreement, the Company was granted with unconstrained decision making rights and power over key operational functions within the VIEs. As a result of Exclusive Technology Consulting Services Agreement the Company will bear all of the VIEs operating costs in exchange for 100% of the net income the VIEs. There is not any income or loss of the VIE attributed to other parties. The Company does not have any equity interest in our VIEs, but instead has the right to enjoy economic benefits similar to equity ownership through our contractual arrangements with VIEs and their shareholders.

These contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing the Company with control over the VIEs as direct ownership. Due to its VIE structure, the Company has to rely on contractual rights to effect control and management of the VIEs, which exposes it to the risk of potential breach of contract by the shareholders of Jingwei Communications for a number of reasons. For example, their interests as shareholders of Jingwei Communications and the interests of the Company may conflict and the Company may fail to resolve such conflicts; the shareholders may believe that breaching the contracts will lead to greater economic benefit for them; or the shareholders may otherwise act in bad faith. If any of the foregoing were to happen, the Company may have to rely on legal or arbitral proceedings to enforce its contractual rights, including specific performance or injunctive relief, and claiming damages. Such arbitral and legal proceedings may cost substantial financial and other resources, and result in disruption of its business, and the Company cannot assure that the outcome will be in its favor. Apart from the above risks, there is no significant judgments or assumptions regarding enforceability of the contracts. Mr. George Du, Chairman of the Company, also is the controlling stockholder of Jingwei Communications, who holds 90% of its common shares.

In addition, as all of these contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through either arbitration or litigation in the PRC, they would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. The legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in other jurisdictions, such as the United States. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could further limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. Furthermore, these contracts may not be enforceable in China if PRC government authorities or courts take a view that such contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or are otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. In the event the Company is unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, it may not be able to exert effective control over the VIEs, and its ability to conduct its business may be materially and adversely affected, and the Company may even have to deconsolidate the VIE’s. As of December 2011, the equity interest pledge agreement has been registered with the PRC regulator.
 
None of the assets of the VIEs can be used only to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on the Company’s general assets. As of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, there was $15,059 and $20,710 of liabilities of the Company’s consolidated VIEs for which creditors did not have recourse to the general credit of the Company or its subsidiaries.

Most of our operations are conducted through our affiliated companies which the Company controls through contractual agreements in the form of variable interest entities. Current regulations in China permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only out of its accumulated distributable profits, if any, determined in accordance with their articles of association and PRC accounting standards and regulations. The ability of these Chinese affiliates to make dividends and other payments to us may be restricted by factors that include changes in applicable foreign exchange and other laws and regulations.

A.  
Under PRC law, our subsidiary may only pay dividends after 10% of its after-tax profits have been set aside as reserve funds, unless such reserves have reached at least 50% of its registered capital. Such cash reserve may not be distributed as cash dividends.
B.  
The PRC Income Tax Law also imposes a 10% withholding income tax on dividends generated on or after January 1, 2008 and distributed by a resident enterprise to its foreign investors, if such foreign investors are considered as non-resident enterprise without any establishment or place within China or if the received dividends have no connection with such foreign investors’ establishment or place within China, unless such foreign investors’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.

As of December 31, 2010, there were $28.9 million retained earnings in aggregate available for distribution, aside from $3.6 million statutory reserve fund. The retained earnings from PRC subsidiaries and VIEs are subject to 10% PRC dividend withholding taxes upon distribution. There were no significant differences between retained earnings as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards as compared to retained earnings as presented in our financial statements.

Most of our net revenues are currently generated in Renminbi. Any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use net revenues generated in Renminbi to make dividends or other payments in U.S. dollars or fund possible business activities outside China.

Foreign currency exchange regulation in China is primarily governed by the following rules:
 
 
Foreign Exchange Administration Rules (1996), as amended in August 2008, or the Exchange Rules;
 
 
Administration Rules of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), or the Administration Rules.

Under the Administration Rules, RMB is freely convertible for current account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest payments, trade and service related foreign exchange transactions, but not for capital account items, such as direct investments, loans, repatriation of investments and investments in securities outside of China, unless the prior approval of the SAFE is obtained and prior registration with the SAFE is made. Foreign-invested enterprises like ours that need foreign exchange for the distribution of profits to their shareholders may effect payment from their foreign exchange accounts or purchase and pay foreign exchange rates at the designated foreign exchange banks to their foreign shareholders by producing board resolutions for such profit distribution. Based on their needs, foreign-invested enterprises are permitted to open foreign exchange settlement accounts for current account receipts and payments of foreign exchange along with specialized accounts for capital account receipts and payments of foreign exchange at certain designated foreign exchange banks.

Legal matter

On September 5, 2008, Beijing New Media provided a short-term loan of RMB2.0 million ($292,255) at zero interest rate to Shanghai Jujun Infotech Limited (“Jujun”), with its majority stockholder and Chairman Jerry Yu (the “Defendant”) providing personal guarantee, for its general business development. In 2009, Jujun paid back only RMB300,000 ($43,988) but defaulted on the rest. On November 10, 2009, the Company submitted the dispute over RMB1.7 million ($249,267) to Shenzhen Arbitration Commission for arbitration against Jujun and Jerry Yu. On April 19, 2010, Shenzhen Arbitration Commission provided arbitration results requesting the Defendent to pay the Company in full the amount in dispute. On June 28, 2010, the Company applied for legal enforcement with Shanghai No. 1 Intermediate People’s Court. Though the Court has ordered a legal enforcement to collect oustanding loan balance and interests from the Defendent early on, it suspended the process upon an appeal from Jerry Yu on September 17, 2010. In the third quarter in 2010, based on an internal legal evaluation, the Company deems the chance of collecting the majority of the amount owed in the near future slim, and decides to write off the balance of the loan, which has been outstanding for two years, fully as a bad debt.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the consolidated financial statements and no subsequent event is identified.
