PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview of Our Business

We are a leading provider of integrated solutions for the digital security sector, the Geographic Information Systems, or GIS sector, and the digital hospital information sector. We provide a broad portfolio of fully integrated solutions and services, including First Responder Coordination Platform, Intelligent Recognition System, Residence Card Information Management System, Police-use and Civil-use GIS products, and Digital Hospital Information System, as well as high-end multimedia display systems and technology.

We are headquartered in Shenzhen, China and our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. As of December 31 2009, we had more than 1,400 employees and 11 sales offices nationwide. We were founded in 1993.

Our customers are mostly public sector entities that use our products and services to improve the service quality and management level and efficiency of public security, traffic control, fire control, medical rescue, border control, and surveying and mapping. Our typical customers include some of the most important governmental departments in China, including the Ministry of Public Security, the public security, fire fighting, traffic and police departments of several provinces, the Shenzhen General Station of Exit and Entry Frontier Inspection, and several provincial personnel, urban planning, civil administration, land resource, and mapping and surveying bureaus. Over the past several years, we have diversified our customer base beyond our local reach. In the future, we expect to continually expand our market and product offerings in the public and other sectors, through active industry consolidation and enhancement of our technical capabilities.

We generate revenues through the sale of our integrated hardware and software products and through the provision of related support services. A significant portion of our operations are conducted through iASPEC, our variable interest entity. iASPEC is a PRC domestic company owned by Jiang Huai Lin, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who is a PRC citizen and resident. iASPEC is able to obtain governmental licenses that are restricted to PRC entities that have no foreign ownership. These licenses allow iASPEC to perform Police-use Geographic Information Systems, or PGIS, services for PRC governmental customers. Under our Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement, or MSA, among our subsidiary, IST, iASPEC and Mr. Lin, IST is entitled to receive 95% of the net received profit of iASPEC during the term of the Agreement, less costs and expenses related to sales and operations, and accrued but uncollected accounts receivable. In fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, 48.6%, 48% and 68% of our revenues, respectively, were generated under this exclusive commercial arrangement with iASPEC.

Our History and Background

We were originally organized under the laws of the State of Florida, on September 19, 1979, under the name Mark Thomas Publishing Inc. and on April 29, 2003 we changed our name to Irish Mag, Inc. From our inception through October 8, 2006, we provided consulting services in the offset printing industry, targeting individual retail consumers as well as small to mid-size companies. However, as a result of the transactions discussed below, we are now a provider of integrated solutions for the public security sector in China, specializing in providing public security information communication applications and Geographic Information Systems or GIS software services. On January 26, 2007, we changed our name to China Public Security Technology, Inc. to more accurately reflect our new business and commercial objectives, however, on April 2, 2008, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with China Information Security Technology, Inc., or CIST, a Nevada corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary. Pursuant to the merger agreement, we agreed to merge with and into CIST, with CIST being the surviving entity. The merger became effective on April 7, 2008. As a result, our name is now China Information Security Technology, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

Reverse Merger Transaction

Between October 6, 2006 and January 31, 2007, our shareholders approved a series of transactions whereby we purchased all the issued and outstanding stock of CPSH from our current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jiang Huai Lin, for 25,500,000 shares of our common stock in the aggregate. As a result of these transactions CPSH and its wholly-owned subsidiary, IST, became our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and Mr. Lin became the beneficial owner of 25,500,000 shares of our common stock in the aggregate, which, at January 31, 2007, constituted 80.8% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Mr. Lin has since transferred 3,749,920 of these shares and now holds 19,150,080 of these shares directly and 2,600,000 of these shares indirectly through Total Device Management Limited, an entity controlled by Mr. Lin.

Management Service Agreement

From October 9, 2006 through June 30, 2007, we operated under a Business Turnkey Agreement, or Turnkey Agreement, with iASPEC, pursuant to which iASPEC exclusively engaged IST as its subcontractor to provide iASPEC with outsourcing services (to the extent that those services do not violate any special governmental permits held by iASPEC and do not involve the improper transfer of any sensitive confidential governmental or other data). The Turnkey Agreement also provided for a revenue sharing arrangement between iASPEC and IST where IST was entitled to between 90% and 100% of the revenues actually received by iASPEC from servicing contracts involving any iASPEC business, but was obligated to pay for its own costs in providing these services and to pay iASPEC $180,000 per year throughout the term of the agreement.

Effective July 1, 2007, iASPEC and iASPEC’s shareholders, Mr. Lin and Mr. Jin Zhu Cai agreed to terminate the Turnkey Agreement and replaced it on the same day with Management Service Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Service Agreement, iASPEC granted IST an exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, worldwide, license to use and install for a ten-year term, certain iASPEC software, along with copies of source and object code relating to such software, in any manner permitted by applicable laws, and IST licensed back to iASPEC a royalty-free, limited, non-exclusive license to the software, without right of sub-license, for the sole purpose of permitting iASPEC to carry out its business as presently conducted. IST will also have the right to designate two Chinese citizens to serve as senior managers of iASPEC, to serve on iASPEC’s Board of Directors and assist in managing the business and operations of iASPEC. In addition, both iASPEC and IST will require the affirmative vote of the majority of our Board of Directors, as well as at least one non-insider director, for certain material actions with respect to iASPEC, including, but not limited to: (a) the nomination, appointment, election or replacement of any board members; (b) the distribution of any dividend or profits; (c) any merger, division, change of corporate form, dissolution or liquidation; (d) any reimbursement of net losses or other payments or transfers of funds from IST to iASPEC; (e) the formation or disposition of a subsidiary or the acquisition or disposition of any interest in any other entity; and (f) the encumbrance of any assets under any lien not in the ordinary course of business. Furthermore, under the Management Service Agreement, IST will receive 100% of the net received profit of iASPEC and will reimburse iASPEC for all net losses incurred by iASPEC. The net profit of iASPEC will be paid to IST, and the net losses of iASPEC will be reimbursed by IST, no later than the last day of the month following the end of each calendar quarter, commencing on July 1, 2007. IST is also obligated to pay iASPEC $180,000 per year, no later than the last day of the month following the end of each calendar year, commencing on July 1, 2007, and this amount may be retained by iASPEC out of any net received profit due and payable to IST as of such payment date. IST may also advance to iASPEC, at IST’s sole discretion, amounts to be credited against IST’s future obligations to iASPEC, but any such advances will be treated as prepayments and not as loans. iASPEC will have no obligation to repay any such advances except by crediting the amount of such advances against IST’s obligation to reimburse net losses, or by adding the amount thereof to net profit when and as requested by IST. If iASPEC or any of the iASPEC shareholders materially breaches the Management Service Agreement and fails to remedy the breach within 60 days after notice from IST of such breach, they will be jointly and severally obligated to pay to IST liquidated damages in an amount equal to the higher of (a) eight times the annualized revenues of IST for the last completed fiscal quarter, or (b) US$50 million.

The Management Service Agreement contained a true-up provision which required iASPEC and IST, on or before September 30, 2007, to calculate all prior amounts owed to IST under the Turnkey Agreement, and required iASPEC to pay such amounts. The parties were required to calculate the cumulative net profit/net losses of iASPEC from October 9, 2006, when iASPEC commenced its contractual relationship with IST, through the commencement date of the Management Service Agreement, and iASPEC was required to pay the amount due to IST, if there was a net received profit, while IST was obligated to reimburse any amount to iASPEC if there was a net loss. “Net Received Profit” means the net received profit of iASPEC, calculated as follows: accrued accounts receivable plus net turnover (revenue), minus cost of sales, minus operating expenses, and minus accrued but not collected accounts receivable, but only if the result is a positive number. “Net Losses” means the net losses of iASPEC, calculated as follows: accrued accounts receivable plus net turnover (revenue), minus cost of sales, minus operating expenses, and minus accrued but not collected accounts receivable, but only if the result is a negative number. The calculated true-up amount of $7,005,183 was paid by iASPEC to IST as of December 31, 2007.

In connection with the Management Service Agreement, IST also entered into a purchase option agreement, or Option Agreement, with iASPEC and its shareholders, effective as of July 1, 2007, pursuant to which the iASPEC shareholders granted IST, or its designee(s), an exclusive, irrevocable option to purchase from the iASPEC shareholders, from time to time, all or a part of iASPEC’s shares, pursuant to an equity transfer agreement, or all or a part of iASPEC’s assets, pursuant to an asset purchase and transfer agreement. However, according to the Option Agreement, the option may not be exercised by IST 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 iASPEC, to be cancelled or invalidated. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, the option is immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $1,800,000, in the aggregate, subject to regulatory approval. In addition, iASPEC and the iASPEC shareholders agreed to use their best efforts to acquire all necessary government approvals and other consents to complete a share purchase under the Option Agreement. The Option Agreement may be rescinded by IST upon 30 days’ notice and will terminate on the date that we purchase all remaining shares or assets of iASPEC pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement. If any of the parties breaches the Option Agreement and fails to remedy the breach, the breaching party will pay a penalty of RMB5,000,000 (approximately $683,600) to the non-breaching party or parties, and compensate the non-breaching party or parties for any losses caused by the breach.

As a result of the restructuring of its relationship with iASPEC, iASPEC became a variable interest entity of our Company. A variable interest represents a contractual or ownership interest in another entity that causes the holder to absorb the changes in fair value of the other entity’s net assets. Potential variable interests include: holding economic interests, voting rights, or obligations to an entity; issuing guarantees on behalf of an entity; transferring assets to an entity; managing the assets of an entity; leasing assets from an entity; and providing financing to an entity. In such cases consolidation of the VIE is required by the enterprise that controls the economic risks and rewards of the entity, regardless of ownership. While we have held an economic interest in iASPEC since October 9, 2006, the Management Service Agreement and the Option Agreement have now given us control over the business and operations of iASPEC. As a result, iASPEC’s financial data is subject to consolidation with our financial data, commencing July 1, 2007. For more details regarding the Management Service Agreement and Option Agreement, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 6, 2007.

On December 13, 2009, IST, iASPEC and Mr. Lin, as the sole iASPEC Shareholder, amended and restated the MSA (the "Amended and Restated MSA"), pursuant to which IST will continue to provide management and consulting services to iASPEC, subject to the following changes:

  • iASPEC agreed that IST will be entitled to receive ninety five percent (95%) of the Net Received Profit of iASPEC during the term of the Agreement, to be calculated as follows: accrued accounts receivable plus net turnover (revenue), minus cost of sales, minus operating expenses, and minus accrued but not collected accounts receivable, but only if the result is a positive number. iASPEC is obligated to calculate and pay the Net Received Profit due to IST no later than the last day of the first month following the end of each fiscal quarter;

  • Mr. Lin agreed to enter into a pledge agreement with IST to pledge all his equity interests in iASPEC as security for his and iASPEC's fulfillment of their respective obligations under the MSA, and to register the pledge agreement with the local AIC (administration for industry and commerce);

  • Mr. Lin confirmed his status as the sole iASPEC Shareholder and his assumption of all the obligations of the iASPEC Shareholder under the agreement, including a confirmation of his continuing obligation under the written guaranty, dated August 1, 2007, executed by the iASPEC Shareholders in connection with the MSA;

  • Based on iASPEC’s needs for its development and operation, IST has the right, from time to time, at its sole discretion, to provide iASPEC with capital support either as an entrustment of funds to iASPEC, or as an advance to Mr. Lin, as iASPEC Shareholder, for the sole purpose of making a capital contribution to iASPEC for use in the business of iASPEC; provided that, any such advance for capital contribution will be evidenced by an "advance agreement" in the form attached to the Amended and Restated MSA; and

  • IST agreed that it will not interfere in any business of iASPEC covered by iASPEC’s State Secret related Computer Information System Integration Certificate, including but not limited to, seeking access to relevant documents regarding such business; provided, however, that iASPEC agreed that it will cooperate with the requests of the Company as necessary to comply with the Company’s reporting obligations to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

For details regarding the terms of the MSA and the Equity Transfer Agreement, see the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2007, July 3, 2008, and December 17, 2009, respectively.

Acquisition of Fortune Fame

On November 7, 2007, we acquired 100% of the equity interests of Fortune Fame, and its operating PRC subsidiary, ISS, for which we paid approximately $7.1 million in cash and issued 883,333 shares of its common stock. Of the 883,333 shares of common stock, 383,333 shares were issued to Cheer Crown International Investment Limited, or Cheer Crown, and 500,000 shares were issued to Mr. Gao, the Chairman of ISS’s Board of Directors. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Mr. Gao, agreed to continue on as the Chairman of ISS. Mr. Gao also agreed that he will return 250,000 shares of our common stock if Fortune Fame does not meet certain net income targets in 2008, and 250,000 shares if Fortune Fame does not meet certain net income targets in 2009. The targets were met in both 2008 and 2009.

Acquisition of Bocom Multimedia

On December 9, 2007, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Bocom Purchase Agreement”), with Bocom Venture Inc. (“Bocom Venture”), a British Virgin Islands company, for the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Bocom Multimedia and its wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary, Bocom, for a purchase price of approximately $18,000,000. We paid approximately $9,000,000 of the purchase price in cash which is included in deposit for business acquisition as of December 31, 2007. The remaining $9,000,000 of the purchase price was paid in 1,125,000 shares of our common stock. On February 1, 2008, we completed our acquisition of Bocom Multimedia, and effective immediately, Bocom Multimedia and its subsidiary, Bocom, became our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary.

Bocom Multimedia was formed in Hong Kong on August 10, 2007, and is a leading provider of large screen digital light processing and integrated solutions in China. Their products have been widely applied in the fields of public security, communication and multimedia in China. Bocom Multimedia has successfully completed over 100 digital light processing project installations for police bureaus and municipal governments in more than ten provinces in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Sichuan, Hunan, Guangdong and Fujian.

Acquisition of Wuhan Wuda Geoinformatics

On April 7, 2008, our variable interest entity, iASPEC, acquired Wuhan Wuda Geoinformatics Co., Ltd., or Geo, pursuant to (1) a share purchase and increased capital agreement, or the Geo Agreement, dated as of February 16, 2008, by and among iASPEC, Wuhan Wuda Venture Capital Co., Ltd., or Wuhan Venture, Song Ai Hong and Geo, for the purchase of 46% of Geo for a purchase price of approximately $4,819,000, and to inject an additional approximately $1,388,900 to increase the registered capital of Geo to approximately $8,333,000 in the aggregate, and (2) a share purchase agreement, or the Li Agreement, dated as of February 16, 2008, between iASPEC and Li Wei, for the purchase of 2.4% of Geo, for a purchase price of approximately $666,700.

Geo was founded in 1999 by Wuhan University, a leading university in Asia for GIS-related studies. Geo develops and sells GIS software, contracts surveying and mapping projects, produces space measurement data and provides technical consulting and supervision services for GIS projects. In addition to its research and development capabilities, Geo will provide us with direct access to numerous permits and mapping data that will further enhance our technological capabilities, lower project construction costs and enable us to price its products and services more competitively. Our ownership of the data will also provide licensing and recurring domestic and international revenue opportunities for us.

On October 31, 2008, we completed the acquisition of Kwong Tai International Technology Limited, a Hong Kong company, and its wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary, Shenzhen Zhongtian Technology Development Company Ltd., or Zhongtian, from Wide Peace International Investments Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, or Wide Peace, for a purchase price of $16,500,000, $9,900,000 (approximately RMB67,617,000) of which was paid in cash, and the remaining $6,600,000 of which was paid in 1,280,807 shares of our common stock, valued at $5.153 per share (the average of the closing price of our common stock for the 20 trading days prior to September 23, 2008).

If the audited ATNI of Zhongtian for either 2009 and 2010, as reflected in its audited accounts prepared in compliance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, meets the respective thresholds for 2009 and 2010, then the pledged shares for each such period will be released from the pledge whenever the applicable threshold is attained. However, if the audited ATNI for 2009 or 2010 fails to reach the applicable threshold, then Wide Peace is obligated to transfer title to and deliver such pledged shares to us. The 2009 targets were met by Zhongtian. For more details regarding the Zhongtian transaction, see our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 29, 2008 and November 3, 2008.

Industry Overview

General

Over the past two decades, the PRC government has encouraged the development and use of new technologies for information and communication (or ICTs) and their application in all spheres of government, industry, education and culture. The term "Informatization" or "xinxihua" has been coined in China to describe the overall process of ICT application in China and has in recent years become a linchpin of central and many local economic development strategies.

As a part of the Informatization process, the PRC government has launched a series of online programs to accelerate its pace of implementing and using information technology. For example, the Golden Shield Program promotes the use of information technology for public security services. The Public GIS platform aims to integrate the functions of multiple government departments by using the GIS technology. The Golden Health Program strives to improve the efficiency of public health management by using digital hospital technologies. All these initiatives are of top priority to the Chinese government and are driving the demand for out DIST, GIS and DHIS offerings.

Global GIS Industry

The GIS field is a rapidly growing field that identifies data according to location. GIS incorporates geographical features with data in order to assess real world problems. In the strictest sense, a GIS is a computer system capable of capturing, storing, analyzing, and displaying geographically referenced information. The term GIS also includes the procedures, operating personnel, and spatial data that go into the system.

The power of a GIS comes from the ability to relate different information in a spatial context and reach a conclusion about this relationship. Most of the information we have about our world contains a location reference, placing that information at some point on the globe. However, GIS can be used to emphasize objects on a map, their absolute location on the Earth's surface and their spatial relationships, in a series of attribute tables—the "information" part of a GIS. For example, while a computer-aided mapping system may represent a road simply as a line, a GIS may also recognize that road as the boundary between wetland and urban development between two census statistical areas. A GIS, therefore, can reveal important new information (such as whether features intersect or whether they are adjacent) that leads to better decision making or solutions.

Data Capture and Integration – In order to utilize a GIS, data must be directly entered into (or captured by) a GIS in digital form, that is, in a form the computer can recognize. A GIS can also convert existing digital information, which may not yet be in map form, into forms it can recognize and use. Map data may also be created by (1) digitizing maps by hand-tracing with a computer mouse on the screen or on a digitizing tablet to collect the coordinates of features, (2) using electronic scanners to convert maps to digits, or (3) uploading coordinates from Global Positioning System or GPS receivers into a GIS. Once a time-consuming process, the data capture process is now made easier by the development in the GIS industry of software tools to automatically extract features from satellite images or aerial photographs and create databases in map form for use in a GIS. Information Retrieval and Data Output – With a GIS you can "point" at a location, object, or area on the screen and retrieve recorded information about it from off-screen files. For example, using scanned aerial photographs as a visual guide, you can ask a GIS about the location of a fire, analyze the area around the fire and determine conditions of adjacency (what is next to it), containment (what is enclosed by it) and proximity (how close is something to it).

Another critical component of a GIS is its ability to produce graphics on the screen or on paper to convey the results of analyses to the people who make decisions about resources. Wall maps, Internet-ready maps, interactive maps and other graphics can be generated, allowing decision makers to visualize and thereby understand the results of analyses or simulations of potential events.

Components of GIS

Hardware – Hardware comprises the equipment needed to support the many activities ranging from data collection to data analysis. A central piece of the equipment is a workstation, which runs the GIS software and is the attachment point for the equipment. Data collection efforts can also require the use of a digitizer for conversion of hard copy data to digital data and a GPS data logger to collect the field. The use of handheld field technology is also becoming an important tool in GIS. With the advent of web-enabled GIS, web servers have become an important piece of equipment for GIS.

- 12 -


Software – Different software packages are important for GIS. Central to this is the GIS application package. Such software is essential for creating, editing and adding spatial and attributed data, therefore these packages contain a myriad of functions inherent to them. Extensions or add-ons are software that extends capabilities of the GIS software package. Component GIS software is the opposite of application software. Component GIS seeks to build software applications that meet a specific purpose and thus are limited in their spatial analysis capabilities. Utilities are stand-alone programs that perform a specific function. For example, a file format utility that converts from one type of GIS file to another. There is also web-GIS software that helps serve data through Internet browsers.

Data – Data is the core of any GIS. There are two primary types of data that are used in GIS, data in geodatabases and attribute data. A geodatabase is a database that is in some way referenced to locations on earth. Geodatabases are grouped into two different types: vector and raster. A vector image is stored as geometric objects, such as lines and arcs, which are drawn between specific coordinates. If you magnify a vector image you see the lines more accurately, and the line edges stay smooth. A raster image is made up from pixels, like the picture obtained from a scanner, or the screen image on a computer monitor, and has a finite amount of detail which is dependent upon the image size and resolution. However, the closer you look at a raster image the coarser it appears and you don't see any extra detail. Vector drawings are utilized in GIS and other applications where accuracy is important. Usually coupled with this data is data known as attribute data. Attribute data are data that relate to a specific, precisely defined location. The data are often statistical but may be text, images or multi-media. These are linked in the GIS to spatial data that define the location.

People – Well-trained people knowledgeable in spatial analysis and skilled in using GIS software are essential to the GIS process.

Public Sector Use of GIS

GIS can be used by the public sector in the following ways:

Pubic Safety and Emergency Response Planning – GIS technology gives public safety personnel the ability to manage and analyze large amounts of location-based information. Data (including files from legacy systems) can be stored in a geodatabase and used to visualize spatial relationships and reveal trends critical to public safety response and planning. Computer-generated maps can be shared across a network or the Internet with multiple agencies to coordinate efforts and maximize resources.

Law Enforcement – GIS software uses geography and computer-generated maps as an interface for integrating and accessing massive amounts of location-based information. GIS allows law enforcement and criminal justice personnel to effectively plan for emergency response, determine mitigation priorities, analyze historical events, and predict future events. GIS can also be used to get critical information to emergency responders upon dispatch or while en route to an incident to assist in tactical planning and response. While law enforcement agencies collect vast amounts of data, only a very small part of this information can be absorbed from spreadsheets and database files. GIS provides a visual, spatial means of displaying data, allowing law enforcement agencies to integrate and leverage their data for more informed decision making.

Public Works and Development – Use of GIS software in public works improves efficiency and productivity to better serve citizens. For example, GIS applications are in demand in connection with the construction of the Pan Asia Railway and development of the Meigong River and Tumen River in the Northwest of China. Such public works systems could use GIS to connect all divisions in a public works department from engineering to accounting, which streamlines work flows, asset management, operations, and planning. Using a GIS throughout the department allows all sections to share and easily access geographic data. GIS promotes data integrity and facilitates better communication and decision making throughout the organization.

Economic Development – GIS may be used to foster economic development. Agencies could work to advance the quality of life and strengthen the economic base of their region by retaining and growing existing businesses and attracting new investment.

Urban Planning and Site Selection – Information regarding a proposed site for parcel zoning, transportation planning, waste disposal or other use may be combined and manipulated in a GIS to address planning and natural resource issues (such as the location of a water well near a proposed waste disposal site) to guarantee the quality of life for everyone in livable communities. Planning agencies have realized the power of enterprise GIS to identify problems, respond to them efficiently, and share the results with the public.

We intend to target acquisitions that enable geographic expansion, enhance our technological capabilities and competitive advantages, provide licensing and recurring revenue opportunities and propel our expansion into markets populated by high growth enterprises.

  • Enhance our capabilities – We strive to improve our existing capabilities and develop new ones. We plan to leverage our PGIS strength and the acquisition of Geo to target planned expansion into civil-use GIS, enterprise class information security markets and other government sectors. Geo was founded in 1999 by Wuhan University, a leading university in Asia for GIS- related studies. Geo develops and sells GIS software, contracts surveying and mapping projects, produces space measurement data and provides technical consulting and supervision services for GIS projects. We also plan to capitalize on the acquisition of Zhongtian and its patented Medical Case Statistics Software to serve the growing demand for digital hospital and electronic medical record, or EMR, systems in China. Zhongtian is focused on the development and sale of Hospital Information Management Software in order to help build modern, scientific and digitized hospitals. Its products are widely used to efficiently manage hospital fiscal information, clinical information, medical technologies, equipment and inventory, as well as other comprehensive hospital information. We also plan to continue providing our superior E-Government Platform and to maintain strong relationships with our current clients.

We expect to execute these key elements of our growth strategy through a combination of investments in internal initiatives and through acquisitions. Internal initiatives will focus on expanding capacity and enhancing our technology and services capabilities. We also intend to focus on acquisition targets in regions into which we plan to expand and that produce complementary products and services.

Our Products and Services

Through the operations of our China-based subsidiaries and the subcontracting services provided for in our MSA with iASPEC, we are a provider of integrated solutions for the digital security sector, full-service GIS solutions, as well as digital hospital solutions in China. Our products and services can be separated into three categories: (1) Digital Information Security Technology, which is comprised of our First Responder Coordination Platform, our Intelligent Recognition System and our Residence Card Information Management System; (2) Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications and services; and (3) Digital Hospital Information Systems.

Digital Information Security Technology

First Responder Coordination Platform – The First Responder Coordination Platform is a software program which integrates the contact numbers for general police, fire, traffic and other related government organizations into one contact number and enables these agencies to consolidate and improve their public emergency response. Through this platform, our public security customers are able to command and coordinate joint responses to provide the public with immediate, efficient and reliable assistance.

- 14 -


The PRC government, through its “Police Force Technology Reinforcement” initiative, has mandated the adoption of the first responder system to consolidate and improve public emergency response. Approximately 660 cities across China are expected to initiate the deployment of their coordinated emergency response platforms, creating significant opportunities for us.

Intelligent Recognition Systems – Our Intelligent Recognition product is used by the Ministry of Public Security for effective border control management. The Recognition System stores biometric information, such as finger-prints and facial features from passengers in a database and integrates it with infrared and license plate recognition technologies to enable the automation of border control checkpoints for faster and more accurate processing of passengers, while at the same time helping to safeguard borders from stowaways, and greatly improving overall efficiency and the effectiveness of border control management.

The rapid development of China in recent years has also led to growing passenger traffic across its borders, which reached 318 million people in 2006. Shenzhen has 11 out of 64 Exit and Entry Frontier Stations controlled by the Ministry of Public Security in China, through which 167 million passengers crossed in 2006. The total market opportunity for the Intelligent Border Control System is currently estimated at $300 million. To address the increasing requirement and faster and more accurate checkpoint processing of passenger traffic, Exit and Entry Frontier Stations throughout China are in the process of implementing their own intelligent border control systems. These systems can also be used to strengthen port control and surveillance in China’s 288 air, sea and land ports and have many alternative private sector applications, including the management and control of stadium attendance, parking lot traffic, work attendance and toll road traffic.

Residence Card Information Management System – This system is designed to apply the latest information technology to automate the Shenzhen Residence Card System, and will integrate with police GIS systems. Through an integrated information transfer platform, the system will facilitate several social programs, including social welfare management, education management, and house rental service management. Various government and functional departments can access information regarding the immigrant population in the system to improve work efficiency and increase managing capability. In the near future, the system may be expanded to be compatible with other applications, such as medical, personal credit history, and driving records. If successful, the system may be extended to 660 cities across China. According to national statistics, there are over 150 million internal immigrants in China. In many mid-to-large cities, the population of recent immigrants from rural areas exceeds the resident population. As a key pilot project for the Ministry of China Public Security, our Residence Card information Management System will be deployed in Shenzhen first for evaluation.

GIS Software Services and Operations

We provide system management and support services in connection with our Police-Use GIS Platform, or PGIS Platform. The PGIS platform is a GIS that was developed by iASPEC and licensed exclusively to us, for use in creating, editing and adding data to our customers’ systems. The PGIS platform allows us to provide our law enforcement customers with different services, including specialized mapping services, positioning services, messaging services and services which monitor access to their GIS by users of different levels. We offer the PGIS platform with a full complement of services, including providing basic map image data from the GIS and specific data in connection with that map image (such as a bus stop), a consolidation of both basic data and specific data services for data inquiry services, and application system services, which is the application of consolidated services to a specific service requirement, such as the position of a police officer in the field.

We also provide application interface services which ensure that our PGIS platform is equipped to interact with other programs to the benefit of our customers. The data from different law enforcement command systems can be integrated with our PGIS platform to provide our law enforcement customers with more robust communication and location information. Typically, our platforms are integrated with the City Emergency Commanding System, the Police Resource Consolidated Management System, the Residence Management System, the Internet Surveillance System, the Traffic Commanding System, the Criminal Investigation System and the City Surveillance System. CIST’s Core PGIS Technology has been selected for use in the MPS’s PGIS Project, which when complete, is expected to standardize and interconnect all PGIS systems in China. The MPS plans to standardize 100 provincial-level cities and municipalities over the next three years and then subsequently roll out these systems nationwide. As a result, despite the current global economic crisis, management estimates the current market for PGIS in China to be worth approximately $346 million and that this market will grow at a 23% cumulative rate in the next five years.

In the Civil-use GIS sector, CIST has obtained the highest level of qualifications (some of them are mentioned in the sections under the heading “Competition – High Barriers to Entry”and “Regulation” below) with the widest range of applications, through its affiliation with Geo. In addition, Geo’s copyrighted GIS software, “Geostar”, has been widely applied in many mission-critical projects covering national defense, surveying and mapping, land resource, city planning and electricity. Management believes that these qualifications and intellectual property have positioned the Company to benefit for the next few years from the PRC government’s recent emphasis on and promulgation of favorable policies to encourage more applications of domestic-grown GIS software.

- 15 -


In January 2010, China’s State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping announced its plan to build a National Geographic Information Public Service Platform. The whole program will include the construction of one national level master node, 31 provincial level nodes, and 333 city level nodes throughout China, and each city level node will centralize approximately 20 local government departments’ different applications. This program aims to improve the capability and efficiency of geographic information public service, and optimize the utilization of national geographic information resources in China. The whole program will be completed in 5 years.

Digital Hospital Information Systems

We provide various hospital information management software and solutions, such as Medical Case Statistics Software and Electronic Medical Case Management System, to help build modern, scientific and digital hospitals. Our products have been widely used to efficiently manage hospital fiscal information, clinic information, medical technologies, equipment and inventory, as well as comprehensive hospital information.

Medical Case Statistics Software serves the growing demand for digital hospital and electronic medical record (EMR) systems in China. Medical records, including health examinations, medical care, immunity or infectious diseases, will be integrated into one centralized system so that doctors within the network can review a patient’s complete medical history. Such digital hospital systems are expected to reduce medical errors and improve the efficiency of delivering healthcare services, so as to benefit patients, while helping to minimize medical claims fraud. CIST’s Medical Case Statistics Software can also be used to provide public health authorities with an integrated command and decision system for public health and disease control.

CIST’s Electronic Medical Case Management System is able to integrate Hospital Information System (HIS), Laboratory Information System (LIS), Picture Archiving & Communication System (PACS), Radiology Information System (RIS) and Corporate Identity System (CIS), to digitize all clinic information. The System also provides access interfaces with related agencies such as Social Insurance and Bank.

We protect our know-how and technologies through confidentiality provisions in the employment contracts we enter into with our employees. In addition, our engineers are generally divided into different project groups, each of which generally handles only a portion of the project. As a result, no one engineer generally has access to the entire design process and documentation for a particular product.

Sales and Marketing

We develop new business by identifying and contacting potential new customers and through referrals, or as a result of new customers contacting us because of our strong brand recognition and reputation in the industry. We strengthen our market presence through various types of marketing campaigns, such as participating in exhibitions, trade fairs and seminars, and presenting solutions to prospective customers. We participate in several domestic and international trade fairs such as the China High-Tech Fair in Shenzhen and the e-Gov China Fair in Beijing. We also participate in seminars held by ESRI, IBM etc. each year, to raise our recognition and promote our products. These trade fairs not only promote our reputation, but also our brand name.

Our main marketing and business development focus is on public security information technology and GIS software services and operations, and software sales and distribution. We have a good reputation and brand recognition in this market. We expect to expand in the market and obtain more market shares through our mature products and quality services.

Our Major Customers

In fiscal 2009, no single customer represented 10% or more of our total revenue. In fiscal 2008, no single customer other than Huipu represented more than 10% of total revenue. Shenzhen General Station of Exit and Entry Frontier Inspection of the P.R.C. and Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau accounted for 26% and 21%, respectively, of our total revenue in fiscal 2007.

For 2007, revenues were generated by us through our turnkey arrangement with iASPEC for the period from January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007 and by us through our VIE, iASPEC, during the period from July 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007. We have combined the results of operations of CIST for the period from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 and the results of iASPEC’s operations from January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007 for purposes of the following 2007 analysis, which is not in accordance with US GAAP since iASPEC’s results were not consolidated into CIST until July 1, 2007 when it became our VIE. The following table provides revenue by our major customers for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Competition

The markets for digital security, GIS and digital hospital sectors in China have developed in recent years but are still in an emerging stage. There are currently only a few key players engaged in these fields, especially in the PGIS area, due to our strong capabilities in mission critical project executions and industry standard setter position. Currently only a few companies could effectively compete with us. Beijing Founder Digital Company Limited and Beijing Easymap Information Technology Co., Ltd., are two PRC-based software development companies in the digital security information technology and GIS markets

However, we believe that we will be able to effectively compete with these companies should they enter the market for our product and service offerings in the future. We believe that our pioneering PGIS platform, our ongoing customer relationships and our reputation for success in the industry have enabled us to maintain this competitive advantage.

Our services are designed to provide our customers with integrated and innovative public safety and security solutions. We believe the following are our key competitive strengths.

  • Broad and Growing Portfolio of Software and Services – We offer our customers location-based public security solutions through our growing portfolio of software and services offerings. We are therefore able to provide multiple integrated solutions for our clients. Government agencies use our core products to incorporate location-based data into their decision- making processes to drive more effective results. Through our platforms, our customers can develop customized location- based applications, which can be extended across their agencies to support a variety of needs and generate more valuable intelligence. As a complement to these offerings, we offer related services, such as application development, software upgrades, follow-on phases, and systems integration, which help our customers quickly implement and customize our solutions.

  • Successful Implementation of High Profile Contracts – Our management team has a proven track record of successful implementation of high profile government contracts in China. This track record has enabled us to expand our customer base, which has grown beyond its historical geographic area in the Guangdong province and now includes customers in over 32 provinces throughout China. During 2009, we completed several large-scale system integration contracts relating to our First Responder Coordination System, our Intelligent Recognition System and our Residence Card Management System. We have successfully implemented our Consolidated Command System, which combines the functions of the police emergency system, the fire emergency system, and the traffic control emergency system, in Shenzhen, Shantou, Foshan, Yunfu and Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, in Nanning City, Guangxi Province, in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, in Dongfang City, Hainan Province, in Yongzhou, Hunan Province, in Anxi, Fujian Province as well as Chongqing Municipality and Macao. We successfully implemented our Intelligent Recognition System at the Shenzhen Bay Port and the Futian Bay Port, the former of which received official recognition in July 2007 when China's President Hu Jintao inspected the system and became the first passenger to use the crossing. During the fourth quarter of 2009, we signed new contracts totaling $36.7 million from customers in 19 provinces and provincial cities in China. Some important contracts secured in the fourth quarter included: $10 million contract for Phase III of the Shenzhen Residence Card Information Management System; $2.3 million contract for the GIS Display System for Shanghai Zhiying Electronics Co., Ltd.; $1.8 million contract for the Police-use GIS for Hainan Province Public Security Department; $1.3 million contract for the Haikou City Medical Emergency Rescue Center Consolidated Command System; $0.5 million contract for the Geographic Information Public Service Platform for the Shanxi Province Geographic Information Center; $0.6 million contract for the Shenzhen Maternal and Child Health Hospital Data Sharing and Exchange Service Platform.

    Of the fourth quarter's contracts, excluding those of Huipu, 56% were for our Digital Information Security Technology ("DIST") products, 39% were for our Geographic Information Systems ("GIS") products and 5% related to our Digital Hospital Information Systems ("DHIS") products. Management expects that the majority of these contracts will be recognized as revenue in 2010.

  • High Barriers to Entry – We believe our qualifications, our successful contract implementation record, and the high cost of switching to other providers provide us with a "first mover" advantage in the PRC market and pose high barriers to entry for our potential competitors. Our VIE entity, iASPEC, holds the Computer System Integration Level 1 license from the PRC Ministry of Information, the Information System Security Service qualification from Guangdong Province and a State Secret- related Computer Information Integration Certificate, and iASPEC's 57% subsidiary, Geo, holds a Level A Certificate of Surveying and Mapping. As discussed above, we are gaining wider market recognition from our successful contract execution record. In addition, after investing in our systems, our existing customers have a strong incentive to purchase follow-on phases from us in order to expedite implementation and save costs.

  • Scalability of Platform – We have digitized detailed proprietary information systems data related to Shenzhen City and Guangdong Province that can be leveraged for future civil-use applications in logistics, insurance, and location based services across industries. We believe that we are uniquely positioned to take advantage of future broad scale implementations in our core market sectors.

Regulation

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

Our Chinese subsidiary IST, is a Shenzhen City Software Enterprise, holds ISO 9001:2000 Certification, Maturity Level 2 of Capability Maturity Model Integration and National High-Tech Enterprise. However, fulfillment of certain PGIS contracts with PRC Government customers is restricted to entities possessing the necessary government licenses and approvals which IST does not have.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below, which constitute the material risks facing us. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be harmed. You should also refer to the other information about us contained in this Form 10-K, including our financial statements and related notes

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We are not likely to sustain our recent growth rate.

Our revenues have grown significantly in the last few years, primarily resulting from our strategic acquisitions, including our acquisition of Fortune Fame and its operating subsidiary Information Security Development Technology (Shenzhen) Company Ltd., Bocom Multimedia Display Company Limited and the acquisition of Wuhan Wuda Geoinformatics Co., Ltd. by our variable interest entity, iASPEC Software Co., Ltd. Specifically, our revenue has grown 157%, between the fiscal year 2007 and the fiscal year 2006 (including revenue earned by our predecessor in fiscal year 2006) and 181%, between the fiscal year 2008 and the fiscal year 2007. Additionally, our net income has grown 135%, between the fiscal year 2007 and the fiscal year 2006 (including revenue earned by our predecessor in fiscal year 2006) and 78%, between the fiscal year 2008 and the fiscal year 2007. We are not likely to sustain similar growth in revenues or net income in future periods due to a number factors, including, among others, the greater difficulty of growing at sustained rates from a larger revenue base and our ability to identify and consummate strategic acquisitions. Accordingly, you should not rely on the results of any prior period as an indication of our future financial and operating performance.

Our quarterly operating results are difficult to predict and could fall below investor expectations or estimates by securities research analysts, which may cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.

Our revenues and operating results can vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, such as variations in the volume of business from customers resulting from changes in our customers' operations, the business decisions of our customers regarding the use of our products and services, delays or difficulties in expanding our operational facilities and infrastructure, changes to our pricing structure or that of our competitors, inaccurate estimates of resources and time required to complete ongoing projects and currency fluctuations. As many of our employees take long vacations during the Chinese New Year in the first quarter, our revenues in that quarter are relatively low compared to the other quarters. Moreover, our results may vary depending on our customers' business needs and spending patterns. Due to the annual budget cycles of most of our customers, we may not be able to estimate accurately the demand for our products and services beyond the immediate calendar year, which could adversely affect our business planning and may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the volume of work performed for specific customers is likely to vary from year to year. Thus, a major customer in one year may not provide the same amount or percentage of our revenues in any subsequent year.

These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future and operating results for any period may not be indicative of our performance in any future period. If our operating results for any quarterly period fall below investor expectations or estimates by securities research analysts, the trading price of our common stock may decline.

We generally do not have exclusive or long-term agreements with our customers and we may lose their engagement if they are not satisfied with our products and services or for other reasons.

We generally do not have exclusive or long-term agreements with our customers. As a result, we must rely on the quality of our products and services, industry reputation and favorable pricing to attract and retain customers. There is no assurance, however, that we will be able to maintain our relationships with current and/or future customers. Our customers may elect to terminate their relationships with us if they are not satisfied with our services. If a substantial number of our customers choose not to continue to purchase products and services time from us, it would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We face risks once a business is acquired and the acquired companies may not perform to our expectations, either of which may adversely affect our results of operations.

We face risks when we acquire other businesses. These risks include:

  • difficulties in the integration of acquired operations and retention of personnel,

- 24 -


  • entry into unfamiliar markets,

  • unforeseen or hidden liabilities,

  • tax, regulatory and accounting issues, and

  • inability to generate sufficient revenues to offset acquisition costs.

Acquired companies may not perform to our expectations for various reasons, including the loss of key personnel or, as a result, key customers, and our strategic focus may change. As a result, we may not realize the benefits we anticipated. If we fail to integrate acquired businesses or realize the expected benefits, we may lose the return on the investment in these acquisitions, incur transaction costs and our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected as a result.

The global economic conditions and current credit crisis could impair the overall availability and cost of external financing for our operations and we may be forced to curtail or cease further business expansion or our operations.

We currently generate sufficient operating cash flows to support our working capital requirements, but our working capital requirements and the cash flow provided by future operating activities, if any, will vary greatly from quarter to quarter, depending on the volume of business during the period and payment terms with our customers. Were rely on access to the financial markets to provide us with significant discretionary funding capacity. However, the continuation or intensification of the current global economic crisis and turmoil in the global financial markets may adversely impact our potential sources of capital financing, and may impact our ability to manage normal relationships with our customers, suppliers and creditors. In addition, the lack of availability of credit could lead to a further weakening of the Chinese and global economies and make capital financing of our operations more expensive for us or impossible altogether. It is unclear whether and to what extent the economic stimulus measures and other actions taken or contemplated by the Chinese government and other governments throughout the world will mitigate the effects of the crisis on the industries that affect our business. Furthermore, deteriorating economic conditions including business layoffs, downsizing, industry slowdowns and other similar factors that affect our suppliers and creditors could have further negative consequences for our business operations. The economic situation also could harm our current or future suppliers and creditors, causing them to fail to meet their obligations to us. No assurances can be given that the effects of the current crisis will not damage on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to raise additional financing or identify suitable merger or acquisition targets, we may be unable to implement our long-term business plan, develop or enhance our products and services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures on a timely basis.

Our long-term business plan includes the identification of suitable targets for horizontal or vertical mergers or acquisitions, so as to enhance overall productivity and to benefit from economies of scale. Due to the current global financial crisis, we may not be able to obtain adequate levels of additional financing, whether through equity financing, debt financing or other sources. To raise funds, we may need to issue new equities or bonds which could result in additional dilution to our shareholders, and additional financings could result in significant dilution to our earnings per share or the issuance of securities with rights superior to our current outstanding securities or contain covenants that would restrict our operations and strategy. In addition, we may grant registration rights to investors purchasing our equity or debt securities in the future. If we are unable to raise additional financing, we may be unable to implement our long-term business plan, develop or enhance our products and services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures on a timely basis, if at all. In addition, a lack of additional financing could force us to substantially curtail or cease operations.

We also may not be able to identify merger or acquisition targets or, after a merger or acquisition, may not be able to integrate the target’s business or operations successfully with ours. Such failure to execute our long-term business plan likely will negatively impact our results of operations.

If we are unable to develop competitive new products and service offerings our future results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to utilize our technology in a way that will allow us to offer new types of software applications and services to a broader client base. We will be required to make investments in research and development in order to continue to develop new software applications and related service offerings, enhance our existing software applications and related service offerings and achieve market acceptance of our software applications and service offerings. We may incur problems in the future in innovating and introducing new software applications and service offerings. Our development-stage software applications may not be successfully completed or, if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we are unable to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new software applications, and enhance existing software applications, our future results of operations would be adversely affected. Development schedules for software applications are difficult to predict. The timely availability of new applications and their acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in new the development of new applications could have a significant impact on its results of operations.

A significant portion of our sales are derived from a limited number of customers, and results from operations could be adversely affected and stockholder value harmed if we lose any of these customers.

Historically, a significant portion of our revenues have been derived from a limited number of customers. For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, 25%, 34% and 59% of our revenues, respectively, were derived from our five largest customers. The loss of any of these significant customers would adversely affect our revenues and stockholder value.

We depend heavily on key personnel, and 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 Jiang Huai Lin, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jackie You Kazmerzak, our Chief Financial Officer and Zhi Xiong Huang, our Chief Technology Officer. They 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 in 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 technical, marketing and sales aspects of our business, any part of which could be harmed by further turnover.

We may be exposed to potential risks relating to our internal controls over financial reporting and our ability to have the operating effectiveness of our internal controls attested to by our independent auditors.

As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX 404, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on their internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports, on Form 10-K. We are subject to this requirement commencing with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 and a report of our management is included under Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, SOX 404 requires the independent registered public accounting firm auditing a company’s financial statements to also attest to and report on the operating effectiveness of such company’s internal controls. This annual report includes an attestation report since we are deemed to be an accelerated filer. We can provide no assurance that we will comply with all of the requirements imposed thereby. There can be no assurance that we will receive a positive attestation from our independent registered public accountants. 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 registered public accountants with respect to our internal controls, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements.

Our holding company structure may limit the payment of dividends.

We have no direct business operations, other than our ownership of our subsidiaries. While we have no current intention of paying dividends, should we decide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments. In addition, our operating subsidiaries, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us, including as a result of restrictive covenants in loan agreements, restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions as discussed below. If future dividends are paid in RMB, fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of RMB into U.S. dollars may reduce the amount received by U.S. stockholders upon conversion of the dividend payment into U.S. dollars.

- 26 -


Chinese regulations currently permit the payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. Our subsidiaries in China are also required to set aside a portion of their after tax profits according to Chinese accounting standards and regulations to fund certain reserve funds. Currently, our subsidiaries in China are the only sources of revenues or investment holdings for the payment of dividends. If they do not accumulate sufficient profits under Chinese accounting standards and regulations to first fund certain reserve funds as required by Chinese accounting standards, we will be unable to pay any dividends.

RISKS RELATING TO THE INDUSTRY IN WHICH WE OPERATE

Unfavorable economic conditions may affect the level of technology spending by our customers which could cause the demand for our products and services to decrease.

The revenue growth and profitability of our business depend on the overall demand for software products and related services, particularly within the private sector. Our strategy involves a sale of our products and services primarily to customers in the private sector, so our business depends on the overall economy and the economic and business conditions within this market. The current stock market decline and the global economic slowdown may affect the demand for our software products and related services and decrease technology spending of many of our customers and potential customers. These events could have a material effect on us in the future, including, without limitation, on our future revenue and earnings.

If we are unable to keep pace with the rapid technological changes in our industry, demand for our products and services could decline which would adversely affect our revenue.

Our industry is characterized by extremely rapid technological change, evolving industry standards and changing customer demands. These conditions require continuous expenditures on product research and development to enhance existing products, create new products and avoid product obsolescence. We believe that the timely development of new products and continuing enhancements to existing products is essential to maintain our competitive position in the marketplace. Our future success depends in part upon customer and market acceptance of our products and initiatives, which is uncertain. Any failure to achieve increased acceptance of these and other new product offerings could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our software products may contain defects or errors, which could decrease sales, injure our reputation or delay shipments of our products.

The software products that we develop are complex and must meet the stringent technical requirements of our customers. In addition, to keep pace with the rapid technological change in our industry and to avoid the obsolescence of our software products, we must quickly develop new products and enhancements to existing products. Because of this complexity and rapid development cycle, we cannot assure that our software products are free of errors, especially in newly released software products and new versions of existing software products. If our software is not free of errors, this could result in litigation, fewer sales, increased product returns, damage to our reputation and an increase in service and warranty costs, which would adversely affect our business.

Our technology may become obsolete which could materially adversely affect our ability to sell our products and services.

If our technology, products and services become obsolete, our business operations would be materially adversely affected. The market in which we compete is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, introductions of new products, and changes in customer demands that can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. Our current products will require continuous upgrading or our technology will become obsolete. Our future success will depend upon our ability to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers by supporting existing and emerging hardware, software, database, and networking platforms and by developing and introducing enhancements to our existing products and new products on a timely basis that keep pace with technological developments, evolving industry standards, and changing customer requirements. Research and development expenses were $2,705,669, $2,596,430 and $797,580 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

We face the risk of systems interruptions and capacity constraints, possibly resulting in adverse publicity, revenue loss and erosion of customer trust.

The satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our network infrastructure are critical to our reputation and our ability to attract and retain customers and to maintain adequate customer service levels. We may experience temporary service interruptions for a variety of reasons, including telecommunications or power failures, fire, water damage, vandalism, computer bugs or viruses or hardware failures. We may not be able to correct a problem in a timely manner. Any service interruption that results in the unavailability of our system or reduces its capacity could result in real or perceived public safety issues that may affect customer confidence in our services and result in negative publicity that could cause us to lose customer accounts or fail to obtain new accounts. Any inability to scale our systems may cause unanticipated system disruptions, slower response times, degradation in levels of customer service, or impaired quality and speed of transaction processing. We are not certain that we will be able to project the rate or timing of increases, if any, in the use of our services to permit us to upgrade and expand our systems effectively or to integrate smoothly any newly developed or purchased modules with our existing systems.

If we are not able to adequately secure and protect our patent, trademark and other proprietary rights our business may be materially affected.

Under the Management Service Agreement, we license 16 copyrighted software applications from iASPEC on an exclusive basis. To protect the intellectual property underlying these applications and our other intellectual property, we rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws. We also rely on non-disclosure agreements and other confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights. Some of these technologies, other than the iASPEC copyrighted software applications, are very important to our business and are not protected by copyrights or patents. It may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy or reverse engineer our products, or otherwise obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Further, third parties could challenge the scope or enforceability of our copyrights. In certain foreign countries, including China where we operate, the laws do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Any misappropriation of our intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations, and we cannot assure you that the measures we take to protect our proprietary rights are adequate.

Claims that we infringe the proprietary rights of third parties could result in significant expenses or restrictions on our ability to sell our products and services.

Third parties may claim that our products or services infringe their proprietary rights. Any infringement claim, with or without merit, would be time-consuming and expensive to litigate or settle and could divert our management’s attention from our core business. In the event of a successful infringement claim against us, we may have to pay significant damages, incur substantial legal fees, develop costly non-infringing technology, or enter into license agreements that require us to pay substantial royalties and that may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMERCIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH IASPEC

Jiang Huai Lin’s association with iASPEC could pose a conflict of interest which may result in iASPEC decisions that are adverse to our business.

Jiang Huai Lin, our president and Chief Executive Officer and the beneficial owner of 38.93% of our common stock also beneficially owns 100% of the equity interests in iASPEC, from whom we derived 43%, 48% and 68% of our revenue in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively pursuant to existing commercial arrangements. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise from time to time and these conflicts may result in management decisions that could negatively affect our operations and potentially result in the loss of opportunities.

If iASPEC or its shareholders violate our contractual arrangements with it, our business could be disrupted and we may have to resort to litigation to enforce our rights which may be time consuming and expensive.

Our operations are currently dependent upon our commercial relationship with iASPEC. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 we derived 43%, 48% and 68% of our revenues, respectively, from the provision of services to iASPEC customers. A significant portion of these revenues have not yet been collected. Amounts owed by iASPEC under the Management Service Agreement for each quarter will be due and payable no later than the last day of the month following the end of each such quarter. If iASPEC or its shareholders are unwilling or unable to perform their obligations under our commercial arrangements with it, including payment of revenues under the Management Service Agreement as they become due each quarter, we will not be able to conduct our operations in the manner currently planned. In addition, iASPEC may seek to renew these 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 iASPEC, we may not succeed in enforcing our rights under them. If we are unable to renew these agreements on favorable terms, 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.

- 28 -


Uncertainties in the PRC legal system may impede our ability to enforce the commercial agreements that we have entered into with iASPEC or any arbitral award thereunder and any inability to enforce these agreements could materially and adversely affect our business and operation.

While disputes under the Management Service Agreement and the Option Agreement with iASPEC are subject to binding arbitration before the Shenzhen Branch of the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, or CIETAC, in accordance with CIETAC Arbitration Rules, the agreements are governed by PRC law and an arbitration award may be challenged in accordance with PRC law. For example, a claim that the enforcement of an award in our favor will be detrimental to the public interest, or that an issue does not fall within the scope of the arbitration would require us to engage in administrative and judicial proceedings to defend an award. China’s legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes and unlike common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little value as precedent. As a result, China’s administrative and judicial authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, and it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and judicial proceedings and the level of legal protection available than in more developed legal systems. These uncertainties may impede our ability to enforce the terms of the Management Service Agreement, the Option Agreement and the other contracts that we may enter into with iASPEC. Any inability to enforce the Management Service Agreement and Option Agreement or an award thereunder could materially and adversely affect our business and operation.

If iASPEC fails to comply with the confidentiality requirements of certain of its customer contracts, then iASPEC could be subject to sanctions and could lose its business license which in turn would significantly disrupt or shut down our operations.

The business and operations of iASPEC, the owner and licensor to us of the copyrighted software applications and other intellectual property that are essential to the operation of our business, is subject to Chinese contractual obligations and laws and regulations that restrict its use of security information and other information that it obtains from its customers in the public security sector. For some of its contracts with government agencies, iASPEC has agreed to keep confidential all technical and commercial secrets obtained during the performance of services under the contract. iASPEC or its shareholders could violate these contractual obligations and laws and regulations by inadvertently or intentionally disclosing confidential information or by otherwise failing to operate its business in a manner that complies with these contractual and legal obligations. A violation of these agreements could result in the significant disruption or shut down of our business or adversely affect our reputation in the market. If iASPEC or its shareholders violate these contractual and legal obligations, we may have to resort to litigation to enforce our rights under our contractual obligations with iASPEC. This litigation could result in the disruption of our business, diversion of our resources and the incurrence of substantial costs.

All of the share capital of iASPEC is held by our major shareholder, who may cause these agreements to be amended in a manner that is adverse to us.

Our major shareholder, Mr. Jiang Huai Lin, owns and controls iASPEC. As a result, Mr. Lin may be able to cause our commercial arrangements with iASPEC to be amended in a manner that will be adverse to our company, or may be able to cause these agreements not to be renewed, even if their renewal would be beneficial for us. Although we have entered into an agreement that prevents the amendment of these agreements without the approval of the members of our Board other than Mr. Lin, we can provide no assurances that these agreements will not be amended in the future to contain terms that might differ from the terms that are currently in place. These differences may be adverse to our interests.

Our arrangements with iASPEC 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 iASPEC 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.

- 29 -


The shares purchased by the investors in our 2007 private placement transaction are subject to redemption in the event that the PRC government takes action that unwinds our restructuring transaction. Any such redemption would materially and adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources since we would have to return the funds raised in the private placement.

If any PRC governmental agency takes action that materially and adversely affects the transactions contemplated by the restructuring agreement and we are unable to reverse the adverse governmental action or otherwise address the material adverse effect to the reasonable satisfaction of the investors in the private placement transaction that closed on January 31, 2007 and February 5, 2007, within 60 days of the occurrence of such governmental action, then if asked, we are obligated, as liquidated damages, to redeem the shares purchased by such investors, within 30 days of their demand, for an amount equal to the investor’s entire investment amount without interest. If the PRC government takes action that triggers this redemption right, then our liquidity and capital resources would be materially adversely affected as we would be required to return the funds raised in the private placements. If we are required to return such funds we may required to sell assets or to seek financing on terms that are not favorable, if available at all, and our financial condition could be thereby materially and adversely affected.

The exercise of our option to purchase part or all of the equity interests in or assets of iASPEC under the Option Agreement might be subject to approval by the PRC government. Our failure to obtain this approval may impair our ability to substantially control iASPEC and could result in actions by iASPEC that conflict with our interests.

Our Option Agreement with iASPEC gives our Chinese operating subsidiary, IST, the option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in or assets of iASPEC, however, the option may not be exercised by IST 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 iASPEC, 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, or MOFCOM, or its local counterparts. Also, an appraisal of the equity or assets to be acquired is mandatory. However, the Zhong Lun Law Firm, our local PRC counsel has advised us that Shenzhen 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 IST to exercise its option to acquire iASPEC in Shenzhen. 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. If we are not able to purchase the equity or assets of iASPEC, then we will lose a substantial portion of our ability to control iASPEC and our ability to ensure that iASPEC will act in our interests.

Our right to elect a majority of the members on iASPEC’s Board of Directors and other provisions of the Management Service Agreement may be viewed by iASPEC’s customers as a change in control of iASPEC, which could subject iASPEC to sanctions and loss of its business license, which in turn would significantly disrupt or possibly terminate our operations.

Our new commercial arrangement with iASPEC gives us the right to designate two Chinese citizens to serve as senior managers of iASPEC, serve on iASPEC’s Board of Directors and assist in managing the business and operations of iASPEC. In addition, iASPEC will require the affirmative vote of the majority of the our Board of Directors, as well as at least one non-insider director, for completing certain material actions with respect to iASPEC, including, but not limited to: (a) the nomination, appointment, election or replacement of any board members; (b) the distribution of any dividend or profits; (c) any merger, division, change of corporate form, dissolution or liquidation; (d) any reimbursement of net losses or other payments or transfers of funds from IST to iASPEC; (e) the formation or disposition of a subsidiary or the acquisition or disposition of any interest in any other entity; and (f) the encumbrance of any assets under any lien not in the ordinary course of business. However, fulfillment of certain PGIS contracts with PRC Government customers is restricted to entities, such as iASPEC, that possess the necessary PRC government licenses and approvals, and any change in control may be viewed under PRC law as creating a new entity. If iASPEC’s government customers view these Management Service Agreement provisions as a change in control of iASPEC or as evidence of iASPEC’s failure to operate its business in a manner that complies with its contractual obligations or with related laws and regulations. Such a perception could result in the cancellation or invalidation of iASPEC’s licenses and permits. A loss by iASPEC of its licenses and permits could result in the significant disruption or possible termination of our business or adversely affect our reputation in the market.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA

Changes in China’s political or economic situation could harm us and our operational results.

Economic reforms adopted by the Chinese government have had a positive effect on the economic development of the country, but the government could change these economic reforms or any of the legal systems at any time. This could either benefit or damage our operations and profitability. Some of the things that could have this effect are:

  • Level of government involvement in the economy;

  • Control of foreign exchange;

  • Methods of allocating resources;

- 30 -


  • Balance of payments position;

  • International trade restrictions; and

  • International conflict.

The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, in many ways. As a result of these differences, we may not develop in the same way or at the same rate as might be expected if the Chinese economy were similar to those of the OECD member countries.

Our business is largely subject to the uncertain legal environment in China and your legal protection could be limited.

The Chinese legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which precedents set in earlier legal cases are not generally used. The overall effect of legislation enacted over the past 20 years has been to enhance the protections afforded to foreign invested enterprises in China. However, these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent and are evolving rapidly, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to foreign investors, such as the right of foreign invested enterprises to hold licenses and permits such as requisite business licenses. In addition, all of our executive officers and our directors are residents of China and not of the U.S., and substantially all the assets of these persons are located outside the U.S. As a result, it could be difficult for investors to affect service of process in the U.S., or to enforce a judgment obtained in the U.S. against us or any of these persons.

The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities which could have an adverse effect on our ability to operate in China.

China only recently has permitted provincial and local economic autonomy and private economic activities. The Chinese 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 these jurisdictions 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.

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

In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and high rates of inflation. During the past ten years, the rate of inflation in China has been as high as 20.7% and as low as -2.2%. 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.

Any future outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome or avian flu in China, or similar adverse public health developments, may severely disrupt our business and operations.

From December 2002 to June 2003, China and certain other countries experienced an outbreak of a new and highly contagious form of atypical pneumonia now known as severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. On July 5, 2003, the World Health Organization declared that the SARS outbreak had been contained. However, following this declaration, a number of isolated new cases of SARS have been reported, mostly recently in central China in April 2004. During May and June of 2003, many businesses in China were closed by the PRC government to prevent transmission of SARS. In addition, during 2005 and 2006 China reported cases of humans becoming infected with a strain of avian influenza or bird flu known as H5N1, which is often fatal to humans. This disease, which is spread through poultry populations, is capable in some circumstances of being transmitted to humans and is often fatal. A new outbreak of SARS or an outbreak of avian flu may reduce the level of economic activity in affected areas and deter people from congregating in public places, which may lead to a reduction in our advertising revenue as our clients may cancel existing contracts or defer future advertising expenditures. In addition, health or other government authorities may require temporary closure of our offices, or the offices, where we provide our advertising services. All these will severely disrupt our business operations and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

- 31 -


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

The majority of our revenues will be settled in RMB, and any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenue generated in RMB to fund any future business activities outside China or to make dividend or other payments in U.S. dollars. Although the Chinese government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain, including primarily the restriction that foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents, at those banks in China authorized to conduct foreign exchange business. In addition, conversion of RMB for capital account items, including direct investment and loans, is subject to governmental approval in China, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. We cannot be certain that the Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB.

If we fail to obtain or maintain all licenses and approvals required to operate our businesses in the PRC, our business and operations may be adversely affected.

Fulfillment of certain Police-Use Geographical Information Services, or PGIS, contracts with PRC Government customers is restricted to entities possessing the necessary government licenses and approvals which our subsidiary Information Security Technology (China) Co., Ltd. or IST, does not have. We currently perform PGIS contracts through our VIE, iASPEC, which possesses the requisite licenses and approvals, pursuant to our Management Services Agreement with iASPEC, whereby iASPEC exclusively engages IST as its subcontractor to provide iASPEC with outsourcing services (to the extent that those services do not violate any special governmental permits held by iASPEC and do not involve the improper transfer of any sensitive confidential governmental or other data). If the PRC government determines that we are operating without the requisite licenses we may become subject to administrative penalties or an order to discontinue our business operations, both of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The digital security, geographic, and hospital information systems markets in China are highly competitive, and we may fail to compete successfully, thereby resulting in loss of customers and decline in our revenues.

The digital security, geographic, and hospital information systems markets in China are intensely competitive and are characterized by frequent technological changes, evolving industry standards and changing customer demands. We have competition from multiple domestic competitors in each segment. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced margins and inability to gain or hold market share.

Failure to comply with PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident stockholders to personal liability, limit our ability to acquire PRC companies or to inject capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries' ability to distribute profits to us or otherwise materially adversely affect us.

In October 2005, the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued the Notice on Relevant Issues in the Foreign Exchange Control over Financing and Return Investment Through Special Purpose Companies by Residents Inside China, generally referred to as Circular 75, which required PRC residents to register with the competent local SAFE branch before establishing or acquiring control over an offshore special purpose company, or SPV, for the purpose of engaging in an equity financing outside of China on the strength of domestic PRC assets originally held by those residents. Internal implementing guidelines issued by SAFE, which became public in June 2007 (known as Notice 106), expanded the reach of Circular 75 by (1) purporting to cover the establishment or acquisition of control by PRC residents of offshore entities which merely acquire "control" over domestic companies or assets, even in the absence of legal ownership; (2) adding requirements relating to the source of the PRC resident's funds used to establish or acquire the offshore entity; (3) covering the use of existing offshore entities for offshore financings; (4) purporting to cover situations in which an offshore SPV establishes a new subsidiary in China or acquires an unrelated company or unrelated assets in China; and (5) making the domestic affiliate of the SPV responsible for the accuracy of certain documents which must be filed in connection with any such registration, notably, the business plan which describes the overseas financing and the use of proceeds. Amendments to registrations made under Circular 75 are required in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, mergers and acquisitions, equity investment or creation of any security interest in any assets located in China to guarantee offshore obligations, and Notice 106 makes the offshore SPV jointly responsible for these filings. In the case of an SPV which was established, and which acquired a related domestic company or assets, before the implementation date of Circular 75, a retroactive SAFE registration was required to have been completed before March 31, 2006; this date was subsequently extended indefinitely by Notice 106, which also required that the registrant establish that all foreign exchange transactions undertaken by the SPV and its affiliates were in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Failure to comply with the requirements of Circular 75, as applied by SAFE in accordance with Notice 106, may result in fines and other penalties under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions. Any such failure could also result in the SPV's affiliates being impeded or prevented from distributing their profits and the proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to the SPV, or from engaging in other transfers of funds into or out of China.

- 32 -


We have asked our stockholders, who are PRC residents as defined in Circular 75, to register with the relevant branch of SAFE, as currently required, in connection with their equity interests in us and our acquisitions of equity interests in our PRC subsidiaries. However, we cannot provide any assurances that they can obtain the above SAFE registrations required by Circular 75 and Notice 106. Moreover, because of uncertainty over how Circular 75 will be interpreted and implemented, and how or whether SAFE will apply it to us, we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies. For example, our present and prospective PRC subsidiaries' ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with Circular 75 and Notice 106 by our PRC resident beneficial holders.

In addition, such PRC residents may not always be able to complete the necessary registration procedures required by Circular 75 and Notice 106. We also have little control over either our present or prospective direct or indirect stockholders or the outcome of such registration procedures. A failure by our PRC resident beneficial holders or future PRC resident stockholders to comply with Circular 75 and Notice 106, if SAFE requires it, could subject these PRC resident beneficial holders to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our subsidiaries' ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

The increase in the PRC enterprise income tax could result in a decrease of our net income and materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our PRC subsidiaries are incorporated in the PRC and are governed by applicable PRC income tax laws and regulations. Prior to January 1, 2008, entities established in the PRC were generally subject to a 30% state and 3% local enterprise income tax rate. There were various preferential tax treatments promulgated by national tax authorities that were available to foreign-invested enterprises or enterprises located in certain areas of China. The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the EIT Law, was enacted on March 16, 2007 and became effective on January 1, 2008. The implementation regulations under the EIT Law issued by the PRC State Council became effective January 1, 2008. Under the EIT Law and the implementation regulations, the PRC has adopted a uniform tax rate of 25% for all enterprises (including foreign-invested enterprises) and revoked the previous tax exemption, reduction and preferential treatments applicable to foreign-invested enterprises. However, there is a transition period for enterprises, whether foreign-invested or domestic, that received preferential tax treatments granted in accordance with the then prevailing tax laws and regulations prior to January 1, 2008. Enterprises that were subject to an enterprise income tax rate lower than 25% prior to January 1, 2008 may continue to enjoy the lower rate and gradually transition to the new tax rate within five years after the effective date of the EIT Law. As a wholly-owned FIE, our PRC subsidiary, IST, was approved by PRC tax authorities on August 10, 2007, to enjoy a two-year tax exemption, followed by a 50% exemption for three years, retroactive to as of January 1, 2007. Since the EIT Law permits companies, such as IST, that were previously exempt from taxes or that had concessional rates to retain their preferences until the original expiration date the EIT Law does not impact IST's income tax qualification to enjoy a tax exemption in fiscal year 2008 and IST will continue to qualify for a 50% tax exemption for the two years thereafter. EIT exemptions claimed by IST may become payable if IST were to dissolve within the next 10 years. The tax rate for IST in 2009 is 10%. ISS is a foreign invested enterprise incorporated in Shenzhen entitled a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15% prior to the new EIT law, which was transited to 18% in 2008 and 20% in 2009. We cannot assure you that the preferential income tax rates that we enjoy will not be phased out at a faster rate or will not be discontinued altogether, either of which could result in a decrease of our net income and materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Under the New Enterprise Income Tax, or EIT, Law, we may be classified as a "resident enterprise" of China. Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC stockholders.

China passed the New EIT Law and its implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with "de facto management bodies" within China is considered a "resident enterprise," meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law define de facto management as "substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties" of the enterprise. In addition, a recent circular issued by the State Administration of Taxation on April 22, 2009 regarding the standards used to classify certain Chinese-invested enterprises controlled by Chinese enterprises or Chinese group enterprises and established outside of China as "resident enterprises" clarified that dividends and other income paid by such "resident enterprises" will be considered to be PRC source income, subject to PRC withholding tax, currently at a rate of 10%, when recognized by non-PRC enterprise shareholders. This recent circular also subjects such "resident enterprises" to various reporting requirements with the PRC tax authorities.

- 33 -


In addition, the recent circular mentioned above sets out criteria for determining whether "de facto management bodies" are located in China for overseas incorporated, domestically controlled enterprises. However, as this circular only applies to enterprises established outside of China that are controlled by PRC enterprises or groups of PRC enterprises, it remains unclear how the tax authorities will determine the location of "de facto management bodies" for overseas incorporated enterprises that are controlled by individual PRC residents like us and some of our subsidiaries.

Therefore, although substantially all of our management is currently located in the PRC, it remains unclear whether the PRC tax authorities would require or permit our overseas registered entities to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. We do not currently consider our company to be a PRC resident enterprise. However, if the PRC tax authorities determine that China Information Security Technology, Inc. is a "resident enterprise" for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on offering proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the New EIT Law and its implementing rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiaries would qualify as "tax-exempt income," we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally, it is possible that future guidance issued with respect to the new "resident enterprise" classification could result in a situation in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC stockholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC stockholders from transferring our shares.

In addition, under the EIT law, the Notice of the State Administration of Taxation on Negotiated Reduction of Dividends and Interest Rates, or Notice 112, which was issued on January 29, 2008, the Arrangement between the PRC and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion, or the Double Taxation Arrangement (Hong Kong), which became effective on December 8, 2006, and the Notice of the State Administration of Taxation Regarding Interpretation and Recognition of Beneficial Owners under Tax Treaties, or Notice 601, which became effective on October 27, 2009, dividends from Shenzhen Bocom, Information Security Software, Information Security Technology, Shenzhen Zhongtian Technology Development Co., Ltd. and Huipu Electronics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. paid to us through our Hong Kong subsidiaries may be subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 10%, or at a rate of 5% if our Hong Kong subsidiaries are considered as "beneficial owners" that are generally engaged in substantial business activities and entitled to treaty benefits under the Double Taxation Arrangement (Hong Kong). Furthermore, the ultimate tax rate will be determined by treaty between the PRC and the tax residence of the holder of the PRC subsidiary. We are actively monitoring the proposed withholding tax and are evaluating appropriate organizational changes to minimize the corresponding tax impact.

Dividends declared and paid from pre-January 1, 2008 distributable profits are grandfathered under the New EIT Law and are not subject to withholding tax.

We have limited insurance coverage for our operations in China.

The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited insurance products. We have determined that the risks of disruption or liability from our business, the loss or damage to our property, including our facilities, equipment and office furniture, the cost of insuring for these risks, and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us to have such insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability, disruption, litigation or property insurance coverage for our operations in China except for insurance on some company owned vehicles. Any uninsured occurrence of loss or damage to property, or litigation or business disruption may result in the incurrence of substantial costs and the diversion of resources, which could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

Failure to comply with PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident stockholders to personal liability, limit our ability to acquire PRC companies or to inject capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute profits to us or otherwise materially adversely affect us.

In October 2005, the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued the Notice on Relevant Issues in the Foreign Exchange Control over Financing and Return Investment Through Special Purpose Companies by Residents Inside China, generally referred to as Circular 75, which required PRC residents to register with the competent local SAFE branch before establishing or acquiring control over an offshore special purpose company, or SPV, for the purpose of engaging in an equity financing outside of China on the strength of domestic PRC assets originally held by those residents. Internal implementing guidelines issued by SAFE, which became public in June 2007 (known as Notice 106), expanded the reach of Circular 75 by (1) purporting to cover the establishment or acquisition of control by PRC residents of offshore entities which merely acquire “control” over domestic companies or assets, even in the absence of legal ownership; (2) adding requirements relating to the source of the PRC resident’s funds used to establish or acquire the offshore entity; (3) covering the use of existing offshore entities for offshore financings; (4) purporting to cover situations in which an offshore SPV establishes a new subsidiary in China or acquires an unrelated company or unrelated assets in China; and (5) making the domestic affiliate of the SPV responsible for the accuracy of certain documents which must be filed in connection with any such registration, notably, the business plan which describes the overseas financing and the use of proceeds. Amendments to registrations made under Circular 75 are required in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, mergers and acquisitions, equity investment or creation of any security interest in any assets located in China to guarantee offshore obligations, and Notice 106 makes the offshore SPV jointly responsible for these filings. In the case of an SPV which was established, and which acquired a related domestic company or assets, before the implementation date of Circular 75, a retroactive SAFE registration was required to have been completed before March 31, 2006; this date was subsequently extended indefinitely by Notice 106, which also required that the registrant establish that all foreign exchange transactions undertaken by the SPV and its affiliates were in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Failure to comply with the requirements of Circular 75, as applied by SAFE in accordance with Notice 106, may result in fines and other penalties under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions. Any such failure could also result in the SPV’s affiliates being impeded or prevented from distributing their profits and the proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to the SPV, or from engaging in other transfers of funds into or out of China.

- 34 -


We believe that our stockholders, who are PRC residents as defined in Circular 75, have registered with the relevant branch of SAFE, as currently required, in connection with their equity interests in us and our acquisitions of equity interests in our PRC subsidiaries. However, we cannot provide any assurances that their existing registrations have fully complied with, and they have made all necessary amendments to their registration to fully comply with, all applicable registrations or approvals required by Circular 75. Moreover, because of uncertainty over how Circular 75 will be interpreted and implemented, and how or whether SAFE will apply it to us, we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies. For example, our present and prospective PRC subsidiaries’ ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with Circular 75 by our PRC resident beneficial holders. In addition, such PRC residents may not always be able to complete the necessary registration procedures required by Circular 75. We also have little control over either our present or prospective direct or indirect stockholders or the outcome of such registration procedures. A failure by our PRC resident beneficial holders or future PRC resident stockholders to comply with Circular 75, if SAFE requires it, could subject these PRC resident beneficial holders to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

We may be unable to complete a business combination transaction efficiently or on favorable terms due to complicated merger and acquisition regulations which became effective on September 8, 2006.

On August 9, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, promulgated the Regulation on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, which became effective on September 8, 2006. This new regulation, among other things, governs the approval process by which a PRC company may participate in an acquisition of assets or equity interests. Depending on the structure of the transaction, the new regulation will require the PRC parties to make a series of applications and supplemental applications to the government agencies. In some instances, the application process may require the presentation of economic data concerning a transaction, including appraisals of the target business and evaluations of the acquirer, which are designed to allow the government to assess the transaction. Government approvals will have expiration dates by which a transaction must be completed and reported to the government agencies. Compliance with the new regulations is likely to be more time consuming and expensive than in the past and the government can now exert more control over the combination of two businesses. Accordingly, due to the new regulation, our ability to engage in business combination transactions has become significantly more complicated, time consuming and expensive, and we may not be able to negotiate a transaction that is acceptable to our stockholders or sufficiently protect their interests in a transaction.

The new regulation allows PRC government agencies to assess the economic terms of a business combination transaction. Parties to a business combination transaction may have to submit to the Ministry of Commerce and other relevant government agencies an appraisal report, an evaluation report and the acquisition agreement, all of which form part of the application for approval, depending on the structure of the transaction. The regulations also prohibit a transaction at an acquisition price obviously lower than the appraised value of the PRC business or assets and in certain transaction structures, require that consideration must be paid within defined periods, generally not in excess of a year. The regulation also limits our ability to negotiate various terms of the acquisition, including aspects of the initial consideration, contingent consideration, holdback provisions, indemnification provisions and provisions relating to the assumption and allocation of assets and liabilities. Transaction structures involving trusts, nominees and similar entities are prohibited. Therefore, such regulation may impede our ability to negotiate and complete a business combination transaction on financial terms that satisfy our investors and protect our stockholders’ economic interests.

The value of our securities will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB.

The value of our common stock will be 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. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for our operational needs and should the RMB appreciate against the U.S. dollar at that time, our financial position, the business of the company, and the price of our common stock may be harmed. Conversely, if we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of declaring dividends on our common stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the RMB, the U.S. dollar equivalent of our earnings from our subsidiaries in China would be reduced.

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, or 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 we make sales in China. Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company, even though they may not always be subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. However, 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 U.S. government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

RISKS RELATED TO THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK

We are subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions which may affect our ability to sell our securities on the secondary market.

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. Trading in our common stock is volatile and our stock price fluctuates: between December 1, 2007 and December 31, 2008, our stock price has fluctuated from a low of $3.00 to a high of $10.80. When our stock price trades under $5.00 per share it may be designated a “penny stock.” As a “penny stock,” our common stock may become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or 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 a 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.

Market volatility may affect our stock price, and the value of our common stock may experience sudden decreases.

There has been, and will likely continue to be, significant volatility in the market price of securities in general and of technology companies in particular, including ours. These fluctuations can be unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. Factors such as the following could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially:

  • general economic conditions and trends;

- 36 -


  • stock market price and volume fluctuations of other publicly traded companies and, in particular, those that are in the technology industry;

  • investor perceptions of the stock market in general and our industry or company in particular;

  • shortfalls in our actual financial results compared to our guidance or results previously forecasted by stock market analysts

  • quarterly fluctuations in our financial results or other software companies’ financial results;

  • acquisitions or strategic alliances or announcements of new products by us or our competitors;

  • any stock repurchase program;

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

  • litigation involving our Company or any of our officers and directors; and

  • general conditions in the software industry and conditions in the financial markets.

A decline in the market price of our common stock may adversely impact our ability to attract and retain employees. In addition, stockholders may initiate securities class action lawsuits if the market price of our stock drops significantly, which may cause us to incur substantial costs and could divert the time and attention of our management.

Our controlling stockholder holds a significant percentage of our outstanding voting securities, which could hinder our ability to engage in significant corporate transactions without his approval.

Mr. Jiang Huai Lin, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns 38.93% of our outstanding voting securities as at December 31, 2009. As a result, he possesses significant influence, giving him the ability, among other things, to elect a majority of our Board of Directors and to authorize or prevent proposed significant corporate transactions. His ownership and control 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.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

We have no outstanding or unresolved comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission staff.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

All land in China is owned by the state or collectives. Individuals and companies are permitted to acquire rights to use land or land use rights for specific purposes. In the case of land used for industrial purposes, the land use rights are granted for a period of 50 years. This period 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.

Prior to June 2007, our subsidiary IST occupied space in offices pursuant to a six month rental agreement. In June 2007, we moved into our new executive offices located on the 21st Floor of the Everbright Bank Bldg., Zhuzilin, Futian District, Shenzhen, China, for which IST currently has land use rights. Our new executive offices, consist of approximately 1,200 square meters, all of which are dedicated to administrative office space. We have fully paid the land use fees. Our other property primarily consists of computer equipment, servers, licensed software, some furniture and fixtures. There is no lien on any of our property and we currently do not have any intention to make large scale improvements or developments with respect to these properties.

iASPEC and Bocom lease offices, employee dormitories and factory space in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Beijing and Dongguan in the PRC, pursuant to lease agreements that will expire on various dates through June 2011. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, was approximately$386,200, $337,000 and $46,300, respectively.

- 37 -


We believe that all 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 in the ordinary course of our business. We are currently not aware of any legal proceedings the ultimate outcome of which, in our judgment based on information currently available, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters that were submitted during the fourth quarter of 2009 to a vote of security holders that has not already been disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K during the period.

______________
(1)

The last reported sales price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on March 2, 2010 was $4.86. As of March 2, 2010, there were approximately 128 stockholders of record of our common stock. Certain of our shares are held in “nominee” or “street” name; accordingly, we believe the number of beneficial owners is greater than the foregoing number.

Dividend Policy

We have never declared or paid cash dividends. Any future decisions regarding dividends will be made by our Board of Directors. We currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Our Board of Directors has complete discretion on whether to pay dividends, subject to the approval of our shareholders. Even if our Board of Directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

(1) On June 13, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the establishment of the China Information Security Technology, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan, or Plan, whereby we are authorized to issue shares of our common stock to certain employees, consultants and directors. At that time we reserved 8,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the Plan.

(2) On November 27, 2007, we issued 70,000 shares of common stock to our senior management and an outside consultant as bonus awards and we included stock-based compensation of $609,000 in our administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007. On November 30, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the grant of options to certain employees to purchase 490,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01, subject to ratification of the Plan by our stockholders. The options had an exercise price of $9.48 per share, were to vest on December 5, 2008 and to expire on December 5, 2011. The respective stock-based compensation, amounting to $68,891 was charged into administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. On March 3, 2008, our Board of Directors voided and canceled the grant of the stock options to the employees, and on March 20, 2008 approved the grant of 400,000 shares stock awards to them at price of $4.30 per share. These newly granted shares vested quarterly at 1/4 over a one-year period following the grant. Since the cancellation and grant of the replacement award occurred concurrently, they were treated as a modification of the terms of the cancelled award.

On February 2, 2009, the Company granted eligible employees a total of 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as compensation under the Plan.

On January 12, 2010, the Company granted eligible employees a total of 213,363 shares of the Company’s common stock as compensation under the Plan. The related expenses of $1,270,000 were accrued and are included in our administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009.

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

Overview

We are a leading provider of integrated solutions for the digital security sector, the Geographic Information Systems, or GIS sector, and the digital hospital information sector. We provide a broad portfolio of fully integrated solutions and services, including First Responder Coordination Platform, Intelligent Recognition System, Residence Card Information Management System, Police- and Civil-use GIS products, and Digital Hospital Information System, as well as high-end multimedia display systems and technology.

We are headquartered in Shenzhen, China and our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. As of December 31, 2009, we had more than 1,400 employees and 11 sales offices nationwide. We were founded in 1993.

Our customers are mostly public sector entities that use our products and services to improve the service quality and management level and efficiency of public security, traffic control, fire control, medical rescue, border control, and surveying and mapping. Our typical customers include some of the most important governmental departments in China, including the Ministry of Public Security, the public security, fire fighting, traffic and police departments of several provinces, the Shenzhen General Station of Exit and Entry Frontier Inspection, and several provincial personnel, urban planning, civil administration, land resource, and mapping and surveying bureaus. Over the past several years, we have diversified our customer base beyond our local reach. In the future, we expect to continually expand our market and product offerings in the public and other sectors, through active industry consolidation and enhancement of our technical capabilities.

We generate revenues through the sale of our integrated hardware and software products and through the provision of related support services. A significant portion of our operations are conducted through iASPEC, our variable interest entity. iASPEC is a PRC domestic company owned by Jiang Huai Lin, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who is a PRC citizen and resident. iASPEC is able to obtain governmental licenses that are restricted to PRC entities that have no foreign ownership. These licenses allow iASPEC to perform Police-use Geographic Information Systems, or PGIS, services for PRC governmental customers. Under our Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement, or MSA, among our subsidiary, IST, iASPEC and Mr. Lin, IST is entitled to receive 95% of the net received profit of iASPEC during the term of the Agreement, less costs and expenses related to sales, operations, and accrued but uncollected accounts receivable. In fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 48.60%, 48% and 68% of our revenues, respectively, were generated under this exclusive commercial arrangement with iASPEC.

Recent Developments

The acquisition of Huipu Electronics (Huipu) was successfully closed on October 14, 2009. Consequently, the financial results of Huipu were consolidated in our financial statements from the closing date. Upon closing of the acquisition, we have been restructuring Huipu to focus on high end hardware. These cutting-edge hardware products can be integrated with our proprietary software and be used by our existing and new customers. We believe that such high-end hardware capabilities will help unleash the power of our software, when bundled with our software, can effectively broaden our sales reach geographically and significantly enhance our core competency relative to software-only competitors.

Fiscal Year 2009 Financial Performance Highlights

We continued to experience strong demand for our products and services during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, which resulted in revenue and net income growth. The following are some financial highlights for the period:

  • Revenue: Revenue increased $15.70 million, or 18.40%, to $101 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, from $85.3 million for 2008.

  • Gross Profit: Gross profit increased $11.57 million, or 29.61%, to $50.65 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, from $39.08 million for 2008. Gross margin widened by 434 basis points to 50.15% in 2009 from 45.81% in 2008.

  • Income from continuing operations: Income from continuing operations increased $6.83 million, or 29.3%, to $30.14 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, from $23.31 million for 2008. Operating margin (defined as income from continuing operations as a percentage of revenue) widened by 251 basis points to 29.84% in 2009 from 27.33% in 2008.

  • Net income attributable to the Company: Net income attributable to the Company was $30.09 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Backing out net income from discontinued operations, net income attributable to the Company for the same period in 2008 was $23.79 million. The year-over-year growth was 26.48%. As a result, net margin expanded by 190 basis points to 29.79% in 2009 from 27.89% in 2008.

  • Fully diluted net income per share from continuing operations: Fully diluted net income per share from continuing operations was $0.62 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $0.49 for the same period in 2008, representing a growth of 26.53%.

The total value of our backlog of contracts as of  December 31, 2009 is estimated to be approximately $41.24 million.

We are pleased that against the backdrop of global financial crisis, our 2009 financial results exceeded our goals and we continue to set new record highs in contract wins. We executed our strategic plan successfully and believe that the foundation we are building will take CIST to a new level as a total solution provider with core competency in software and high-end hardware, leading the information technology development in China for public security, GIS and health care management.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

Demand for Software Products and Services

The revenue growth and profitability of our business depend on the overall market demand for software products and related services. Over the past two decades, the PRC government has encouraged the development and use of new technologies for information and communication and their application in all spheres of government, industry, education and culture. The term “Informatization” or “xinxihua” has been coined in China to describe the overall process of ICT application in China and has in recent years become a linchpin of central and many local economic development strategies.

For example, the Golden Shield Program promotes the use of information technology for public security services. The Digital City Program aims to ultimately integrate the functions of multiple government departments by using the GIS technology. The Golden Health Program strives to improve the efficiency of public health care by using digital hospital technologies. All these initiatives are of top priority to the Chinese government and are driving the demand for our DIST, GIS and DHIS offerings.

Taxation

Geo, iASPEC and Bocom are all governed by the Income Tax Laws of the PRC, and are approved as high-technology enterprises subject to the PRC enterprise income tax (“EIT”) at 15% in 2009

ISS, Zhongtian and Huipu are subject to the PRC EIT at 20% in 2009.

As a wholly-owned FIE, our PRC subsidiary, IST, was approved by PRC tax authorities on August 10, 2007, to enjoy a two-year tax exemption, followed by a 50% exemption for three years, retroactive to as of January 1, 2007. Year 2009 is the third year that IST is entitled to the tax holiday and is subject to a favorable tax rate of 10%. Since the EIT Law permits companies, such as IST, that were previously exempt from taxes or that had concessional rates to retain their preferences until the original expiration date the EIT Law does not impact IST’s income tax qualification to enjoy a 50% tax exemption in fiscal year 2009 and will continue to qualify for a 50% tax exemption for the two years thereafter. EIT exemptions claimed by IST may become payable if IST were to dissolve within the next 10 years. However, management believes that the PRC tax authorities will not request payment of any such amounts.

Before January 1, 2008, foreign invested enterprises, or FIEs, established in the PRC were generally subject to an enterprise income tax, or EIT, rate of 33.0%, which included a 30% state income tax and a 3.0% local income tax. FIEs established in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone were subject to reduced tax rate. On March 6, 2007, the China Unified Corporate Income Tax Law, or the EIT Law, was released and on November 28, 2007, the State Council of China passed the Implementing Rules for the EIT Law, or Implementing Rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, and resulted in an increase in the PRC federal statutory tax rate to 25%. The EIT Law gives foreign investment enterprises, or the FIEs, established before March 16, 2007, or Old FIEs, a five-year grandfather period during which they can continue to enjoy their existing preferential tax treatments. During this five-year grandfather period, Old FIEs that enjoyed tax rates lower than 25% under the original EIT Law can gradually increase their EIT rate by 2% per year until their tax rate reaches 25%. In addition, the Old FIEs that are eligible for the “two-year exemption and three-year half reduction” or “five-year exemption and five-year half-reduction” under the original EIT Law, are allowed to continue enjoying their preference until these holidays expire. The discontinuation of any such special or preferential tax treatment or other incentives would have an adverse effect 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 the Company should be classified as a resident enterprise, then the organization's global income will be subject to PRC income tax of 25%

Comparison for the Years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

Revenue

Our revenue is generated from our integrated hardware and software products and through the related after-sales services. For the year ended December 31, 2009, our revenue was $101 million, compared to $85.30 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $15.70 million, or 18.40%. Our increase in revenues during 2009 was attributable to an increase in our software sales of 82.58% to $63.83 million, from $34.96 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Software sales constituted 63.20% of our total revenue.

Sales of hardware products included $4.68 million contributed by Huipu in November and December of 2009. Sales of hardware products and system integration services decreased by 37.42% and 1.61%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to 2008.

These changes are reflective of our increased focus on high value-added offerings surrounding our core competency, which warrant higher gross margin

For the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately $54.20 million of our revenues were generated by our DIST segment, $36.83 million of our revenues were generated by our GIS segment, and $9.97million was generated by the DHIS segment. This compares with $50.97 million by our DIST segment, $34.28 million by our GIS segment and $50,801 by our DHIS segment for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in DIST and GIS segments are 6.33% and 7.42% year-over-year as the GIS market has gained growth momentum exceeding that of DIST. The DHIS segment was started in November 2008, so the full-year comparison is skewed by the difference in time periods that contributed to the consolidated results.

- 43 -



As indicated in the table above, our cost of revenues increased $4.12million, or 8.92%, to $50.34 million, for the year ended December 31, 2009, from $46.22 million for the year 2008. As a percentage of revenues, our cost of revenue decreased to 49.85% during the year 2009, from 54.19% in 2008. As a result, gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 50.15% for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increase of 4.34%, from 45.81% in 2008.

This is the result of three counter-active factors. First, during the year 2009, we sharpened our focus on high value-added offerings surrounding our core competency, which led to the weight of software contribution to revenue to 63.20% in 2009 from 41.0% in 2008. The gross margin of software is 65.17%, significantly higher than those of hardware 19.2% and system integration 25.1%. In the mean time, we experienced decline of gross margins of software and system integration sub-categories on a year-over-year basis. This is because we were engaged in larger projects on average than 2008, and larger projects generally offer lower profit margin than smaller ones. Finally, as we focused our product business on high-end hardware, the gross margin of our product subcategory increased significantly from 2008. In the end, the benefit of the product mix change in favor of software and the improvement in profitability of hardware business out-weighed the decline in profitability of software and system integration business. Consequently, the gross margin improved year-over-year.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately $31.67 million of our cost of revenues was attributable to our DIST segment, $15.41 million was attributable to our GIS segment and $3.27 million was attributable to our DHIS segment, compared to $31.51million to DIST, $14.68 million to GIS and $35,577 by DHIS, respectively, during the year 2008. Gross margins for all segments improved.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our general management, finance and administrative staff, professional advisor fees, audit fees and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Total administrative expenses increased by $2.49 million, or 24.55%, to $12.65 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, from $10.16 million in the year 2008. As a percentage of revenue, administrative expenses increased to 12.53% for the year 2009, from 11.91% for the year 2008. Such a ratio incline reflects our efforts in enhancing managerial capabilities which lead to higher compensation to staff and increased head count. Such investment shall yield managerial efficiency in the long run.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of R&D personnel-related expenses as well as costs associated with new software product development and enhancement. For the year ended December 31, 2009, research and development expenses increased to $2.71 million, from $2.60 million in the year 2008, a $0.11 million, or 4.21%, increase. As a percentage of revenue, the research and development expenses decreased 0.36% to 2.68% for 2009, from 3.04% in 2008. This ratio decline reflects the revenue scalability of the R&D results.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our sales and marketing staffs, business travels after-sale support, transportation costs and other sales related costs. Selling expenses increased $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, or 28.69%, to $3.14 million, from $2.44 million in 2008. As a percentage of revenue, our selling expenses decreased to 2.68% for 2009, from 2.86% in 2008.

Subsidy Income

For the year ended December 31, 2009, in connection with research and development activities in a designated locale, we received approximately $833,429 as a subsidy from the local governmental agency in China.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased $2.34 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, or 151.21%, to $3.89 million, from $1.55 million in 2008. The increase was mainly due to the increase in pre-tax income and an increase in our effective income tax rate from 6.23% in 2008 to 11.43% in 2009 as a result of tax unification effort in China.

Our subsidiaries, ISS, Zhongtian and HPC are governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and are subject to the PRC’s enterprises income tax, or EIT, at a rate of 20% of assessable profits in 2009, compared to 18% for 2008, an increase of 2%. Our VIE, iASPEC (exclusive of Geo) acquired the high technology enterprise qualification during 2009, and became subject to EIT at a rate of 15%, an decrease of 3% compared with 18% in 2008. As a High-Tech Enterprise, Geo is subject to EIT at a rate of 15% of assessable profits.

- 44 -


However, after offsetting accumulated losses from prior years, Geo had no assessable profits subject to EIT for the year ended December 31, 2009. As a software company, IST was entitled to a two-year exemption from EIT followed by a 50% tax exemption for the next 3 years. In 2007 and 2008, IST enjoyed tax exemption. From 2009 through 2011, IST is subject to a favorable tax rate of 10%, 11% and 12% respectively.

Non-controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest of $43,076 for the year ended December 31, 2009 represents the $180,000 fee retained by iASPEC under the MSA, and $136,926 of Geo’s losses retained by the entity with the 43% non-controlling interest in Geo.

Net income attributable to the Company

As a result of the factors described above, net income attributable to the Company increased $6.31 million, or 26.52%, to $30.09 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, from $23.79 million for 2008.

During November and December of 2009, Huipu generated a net loss of $197,803. This near break-even result is in line with our expectation, as Huipu is going through significant strategic changes and restructuring upon the close of acquisition on Oct. 14, 2009. We believe that as Huipu completes the restructuring process, it will realize the economies of scale and optimize efficiency to realize the goals set in the earn-out provisions, which is to earn a minimum of $3.2 million in net profit for 2010.

Comparison for the Years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

Revenue

Our revenue is generated from our integrated hardware and software products and through the related after-sales services. In 2008 we experienced solid growth in revenues. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased $54.96 million, or 181.13%, to $85.3 million, as compared to $30.34 million for 2007. The increase in our revenue was mainly due to the addition of new product lines, our procurement of several large-scale system integration projects in 2008 and our expansion into new territory.

In 2008, we completed the acquisition of our operating subsidiaries, Bocom, Geo and Zhongtian. Our consolidation of the revenues of these three companies in our 2008 financial statements, resulted in a $12.2 million increase of our revenues for the period. The consolidation of Bocom accounted for $7.3 million, Geo accounted for $4.4 million and Zhongtian accounted for 0.5 million of this increase. The acquisitions also enriched our product and service offerings to our customers.

Our increase in revenues during the 2008 period was also attributable to the Company’s win of 235 new system integration or software development contracts that contributed approximately $69 million to the Company’s 2008 revenues. Of these contracts, 118 integration/software development contracts contributed $35 million in sales, 75 software development contracts contributed $10 million in sales, and 42 new software development contracts contributed approximately $24 million in sales. The completion of existing contracts also contributed about $5.4 million in sales to the Company.

Some of our new contract wins also signaled our expansion into new territories. Of these 235 new contracts, 15 contracts were won from provinces outside of our usual market in Guangdong Province, including Beijing, Hainan, Tianjin, Liaoning, Guangxi, Xinjiang and Xi'an. These contracts, in the aggregate, contributed approximately $16.5 million to our revenues.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenues increased $33.85 million, or 273.56%, to $46.22 million, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, from $12.37 million in 2007. The increase was mainly due to the consolidation of ISS, Bocom, Geo and Zhongtian who collectively contributed approximately $15.8 million in 2008, compared to $1.7 million in 2007 which only included ISS. As a percentage of revenues, our cost of revenue increased to 54.19% during the year ended December 31, 2008, from 40.78% in 2007. During the 2008 period, we were engaged in several large-scale system integration projects which involved higher costs for procured hardware and other subcontracting costs. The cost for accomplishing those projects is generally much higher than pure software development services and, therefore, led to an increase in our cost of revenues.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 45.81% for the year ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of 13.41%, from 59.22% in 2007. The decrease in our gross profit ratio is the combined effect of an increase in the gross profit ratio of our software sales by 1%, and a decrease in the gross profit ratio of our system integration sales by 7%, net of a decrease in the gross profit ratio of our product sales by 10%, as shown in the following table:

    2008       2007  
  Revenue Cost GP%   Revenue Cost GP%
Products 26,822,325 25,049,072 6.61%   2,007,800 1,669,410 16.85%
Software 34,958,401 5,628,436 83.89%   13,131,578 2,233,493 82.99%
System integration 19,328,312 12,196,185 36.89%   15,194,314 8,470,467 44.25%
Others 4,192,146 3,348,627 20.13%   9,017 - 100%
Subtotal 85,301,184 46,222,320 45.81%   30,342,709 12,373,370 59.22%

The increase in gross profit, or GP, ratio of software sales results from management’s cost control procedures and processes to enhance efficiency. Management has taken a series of measures to reduce software development costs, such as reducing purchases of out-sourced services and enhancing reliance on the work of the Company’s own technicians. The decrease in the GP ratio of system integration and product sales is mainly due to the increase in the purchase price of manufacturing materials.

Administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our general management, finance and administrative staff, professional advisor fees, audit fees and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. We expect the dollar amount of our general and administrative expenses will increase as our business grows and we continue to incur increased costs for being a public reporting company.

Our administrative expenses increased $6.87 million, or 209%, to $10.16 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, from $3.28 million in 2007. The increase in administrative expenses was mainly attributable to an increase in our administrative staff and increased administrative costs in connection with the expansion of our operations. The number of our employees increased from 460 in 2007 to 732 in 2008. In addition, we issued 70,000 bonus shares to our senior management and a consulting service company on November 27, 2007. On November 30, 2007, we also granted options to purchase 490,000 shares of our common stock to certain employees which resulted in $0.68 million of stock-based compensation cost charged into administrative expenses in 2007. On March 3, 2008, the Company canceled the grant of the stock options, and on March 20, 2008 approved the grant of 400,000 shares of restricted common stock to the employees under our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. In 2008, $1.6 million of stock-based compensation was charged to administrative expenses in connection with the Plan. As a percentage of revenue, administrative expenses increased to 11.9% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from 10.8% in 2007. We believe the increase was generally in line with the increase in our revenue.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses as well as costs associated with new software product development and enhancement. For the year ended December 31, 2008, research and development expenses increased to $2.6 million, from $0.8 million for the same period of 2007, a $1.8 million, or 225.54% increase, from year to year. Increases related to iASPEC and IST reflect our efforts to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers for the support of existing and emerging hardware, software, database and networking platforms, and for the development and introduction of enhancements to our existing products and new products on a timely basis in order to keep pace with technological developments. We capitalize costs that are incurred to produce finished products after technological feasibility is established.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our sales and marketing staffs, business travels after-sale support, transportation costs and other sales related costs. Our selling expenses increased $1.96 million, or 407.98%, to $2.44 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, from $0.48 million in 2007. The increase was mainly due to the consolidation of ISS, Bocom, Geo and Zhongtian collectively contributed $1.3 million in 2008, compared to $0.04 million, the result of consolidation in the same period of 2007 which only included ISS. As a percentage of revenue, our selling expenses increased to 2.9% for the year ended December 31, 2008, from 1.6% in 2007. We believe such increase was generally in line with the increase in our revenue.

Subsidy Income

For the year ended December 31, 2008, in connection with research and development activities in a designated locale, we received approximately $738,482 as a subsidy from the local governmental agency in China. We have no continuing obligation under the subsidy provision.

Income Taxes Expense

Our subsidiaries, ISS, Bocom, Zhongtian, and our VIE, iASPEC (exclusive of Geo), are all governed by the Income Tax Laws of the PRC and are subject to the PRC’s enterprises income tax, or EIT, at a rate of 18% of assessable profits in 2008. Geo is subject to EIT at a rate of 15% of assessable profits as a High-Tech Enterprise. However, after offsetting accumulated losses from prior years, Geo had no assessable profit subject to EIT for the year of 2008. In addition, as a software company, IST was entitled to a two-year exemption from EIT followed by a 50% tax exemption for the next 3 years. On August 10, 2007, IST was granted the EIT exemption by PRC tax authorities, retroactive to as of January 1, 2007. Income tax expenses for the years 2008 and 2007, was $1.55 million, and $0.11 million, respectively.

Discontinued Operations

In December 2008, we terminated our involvement in two joint venture projects, the leasing of LED screens and the manufacture and sale of LCD screens. Our termination resulted in income from discontinued operations of $ 0.72 million.

Non-controlling Interests

Compared with $0.09 million for the same period in 2007, minority interest increased $0.15 million, or 168%, to $0.24 million for the year 2008. Consolidation of iASPEC for the twelve months in 2008, compared to six months in 2007, resulted in an increase of $0.09 million in minority interest, and the consolidation of Geo from April 1, 2008 contributed $0.06 million.

Net Income Attributed To The Company

Net income increased $10.46 million, or 78.43%, to $23.79 million during the year ended December 31, 2008, from $13.33 million in 2007. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue and other factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow and Working Capital

As of December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13.48 million. The following table summarizes the key cash flow metrics from our consolidated statements of cash flow for the fiscal year ended December 31.

(All amounts in U.S. dollars)

 CASH FLOW  
    2009   2008   2007
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities $  11,477,783 $  4,547,977 $ 1,607,191
             
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities   (14,664,274)   (21,045,087)   (31,964,909)
             
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities   7,113,658   5,228,098   49,535,182
             
Effect of Exchange Rate Change on Cash   (13,786)   1,079,082   405,402
             
Net increase (decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents   3,913,381   (10,189,930)   19,582,866
             
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Beginning of Period   9,565,252   19,755,182   172,316
             
Cash and Cash Equivalents – End of Period $  13,478,633 $  9,565,252 $  19,755,182

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by our operating activities increased by $6.93 million or 152.4% for fiscal 2009, as compared to fiscal 2008. Such an increase in net cash provided by operating activities, while revenues expanded by 18.4%, reflects much improved operating cash flow management in 2009. The increase was mainly due to increased net income of $6.11 million, a $2.47 increase of non-cash adjustments and a $1.65 decrease of cash used in changes of operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, which is an increase of $2.9 million from the $1.6 million net cash provided by operating activities in 2007. The increase in cash provided by operations during the year ended December 31, 2008 was mainly due to the increase in accounts receivable and accounts payable as a result of the steady growth of our business operations.

Investing Activities

Net cash used by our investing activities decreased by $6.38 million, or 30.3% for fiscal 2009, as compared to fiscal 2008. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in cash used for acquisitions of $8.02, with Huipu being the only acquisition this year, as compared with 3 acquisitions completed in 2008, a decrease in proceeds from investments of $3.45 and a decrease of capital expenditure of $1.8 million Backing out the impact from acquisition, free cashflow was $2.3 million compared with a negative free cashflow of $3.0 million in 2008. The 152.4% increase in our cashflow from operating activities, combined with a 30% decrease in cash flow from investing activities, along with the health free cashflow trend indicates that our business is reaching cashflow self-sustainability.

On June 25, 2008, we invested RMB40 million (approximately $5.71 million) in currency–linked capital protected investment products, or CPI Products. These products hac a term of one year and matured on June 25, 2009. The return rate on these investments was 4.1975% or 5.2722% per annum, based upon the quoted exchange rate between Hong Kong Dollars (HK$) and Chinese RMB on June 23, 2008. At maturity, the Company received $5.8 million.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, net cash used in investing activities was $21.05 million, which included $0.71 million, $2.44 million and $0.23 million of cash acquired from Bocom, Geo and Zhongtian, respectively, compared to cash used of $31.96 million for 2007. Cash provided by and used in investing activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 consisted of the $15.0 million in cash collected from the sale of our investment in marketable securities and from the honor of a guarantee by our Chief Executive Officer and controlling shareholder, Mr. Jiang Huai Lin in connection with this investment, offset by the price paid of $7.0 million and $9.9 million, respectively, in connection with the acquisition for Geo and Zhongtian, a $5.66 million short-term investment made in June 2008 and $8.57 million cash paid for the investment in the two joint ventures during the year. The company also spent $8.9 million on the purchase of property and equipment, and received $1.14 million in cash proceeds from sales of property and equipment.

- 48 -


Financing Activities

Net cash provided by our financing activities increased by $1.89 million for fiscal 2009, as compared to fiscal 2008. The increase was mainly due to an increase in net borrowings under short-term bank loans of $1.2 million, a decrease in long-term loan repayment of $734,000 and a purchase of treasury stock in 2009 of $11,500.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, net cash provided by financing activities was $5.1 million and $49.5 million, respectively. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, financing activities included the repayment of a $1.09 million bank loan and securing a $6.3 million bank loan. During 2007, net cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to the net proceeds of $49.8 million raised in our private placement during January and February 2007.

On January 12, 2010, the Company closed a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 7, 2010 with certain purchasers pursuant to which: (i) the Company sold a total of 1,652,033 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) Mr. Jiang Huai Lin, the Company's Chief Executive Officer sold a total of 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock held by him, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $20 million, or $6.15 per share. The Purchasers also received from the Company warrants to purchase an aggregate of 813,008 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.15. The Warrants were exercisable for 45 days beginning on the date of the initial issuance of the Warrants. The securities were sold pursuant to the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 declared effective by the SEC on November 23, 2009 (File No. 333-159375). A prospectus supplement related to the offering was filed with the SEC and delivered to the Purchasers. The total proceeds to the Company were approximately $9,395,000. Prior to the expiration of the Warrants, certain of the Purchasers exercised Warrants for the purchase of an additional 41,250 shares of Common Stock for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $254,000.

Rodman & Renshaw, LLC acted as the Company's exclusive placement agent in connection with the offering and as consideration of its services to the Company, received a commission equal to 5.0% of the gross proceeds of the offering, including proceeds from the sale of Mr. Lin's shares. Rodman's commission was paid on a pro rata basis by the Company and Mr. Lin relative to their respective amount of gross proceeds from the sale of the securities. The Company was also obligated to pay a cash fee out of any proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants, equal to 5% of the aggregate cash exercise price received by the Company upon such exercise, if any; provided that such fee will be reduced to the extent that Rodman's aggregate compensation for the offering, as determined under FINRA Rule 5110, would otherwise exceed 8%. Rodman received an additional $12,684 in fees in connection with the exercise of Warrants. For details regarding the offering see the Company's current report on Form 8-K filed on January 7, 2010.

Mr. Lin received aggregate gross proceeds of $9.84 million from the sale of his 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock in the offering. On January 14, 2010, Mr. Lin loaned the Company a total of $5 million from the proceeds of the sale of his shares for use for general corporate purposes and working capital. In consideration of the loan from Mr. Lin, the Company's board of directors approved the issuance and delivery of a one-year, non-interest bearing, convertible promissory note to Mr. Lin, in the principal amount of $5 million The note is due and payable on January 14, 2011, and is convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock at a conversion price of $5.88 per share (the per share closing price on the trading day prior to the delivery date of the Note).

The Company has total available notes payable facilities of $16.5 million and $3.5 million with various banks, of which $3.8 million and $0 were unutilized as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively. The funds borrowed under these facilities are generally repayable within 6 months. The notes payable are non-interest bearing and do not have any restrictions or covenants attached.

We believe that our currently available working capital should be adequate to sustain our operations at current levels through at least the next twelve months. However, global economic conditions could substantially affect our sales and profitability and our cash position and collection of accounts receivable. See Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors in this report.

During the first half of 2007, our wholly-owned subsidiary, IST, was a party to the Turnkey Agreement with iASPEC, pursuant to which IST was exclusively engaged as a subcontractor providing iASPEC’s customers with certain outsourcing services (to the extent that those services did not violate any special governmental permits held by iASPEC and did not involve the transfer of any sensitive confidential governmental or other data), and IST was obligated under the terms of the Turnkey Agreement to pay for its own costs in providing these services and to pay iASPEC $180,000 per year throughout the term of the agreement.

IST, iASPEC and iASPEC’s shareholders, Mr. Lin and Mr. Jin Zhu Cai, terminated the Turnkey Agreement, effective as of July 1, 2007, and replaced it on the same day with the Management Services Agreement, or MSA. Pursuant to the terms of the MSA, iASPEC granted IST an exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, worldwide, license to use and install for a ten-year term, certain iASPEC software, along with copies of source and object code relating to such software, in any manner permitted by applicable laws, and IST licensed back to iASPEC a royalty-free, limited, non-exclusive license to the Software, without right of sub-license, for the sole purpose of permitting iASPEC to carry out its business as presently conducted. IST also has the right to designate two Chinese citizens to serve as senior managers of iASPEC, to serve as a majority on iASPEC’s Board of Directors and assist in managing the business and operations of iASPEC. In addition, both iASPEC and IST will require the affirmative vote of the majority of our Board of Directors, as well as at least one non-insider director, for certain material actions with respect to iASPEC, including, but not limited to: (a) the nomination, appointment, election or replacement of any board members; (b) the distribution of any dividend or profits; (c) any merger, division, change of corporate form, dissolution or liquidation; (d) any reimbursement of net losses or other payments or transfers of funds from IST to iASPEC; (e) the formation or disposition of a subsidiary or the acquisition or disposition of any interest in any other entity; and (f) the encumbrance of any assets under any lien not in the ordinary course of business.

- 50 -


Under the MSA, IST receives 100% of the net received profit of iASPEC, and reimburses iASPEC for all net losses incurred by iASPEC, as such terms are defined in the MSA, and iASPEC is permitted to retain $180,000 per year out of net received profits. The MSA also provides that IST may advance to iASPEC, at IST’s sole discretion, amounts to be credited against IST’s future obligations to iASPEC. Any such advances are treated as prepayments and not as loans and iASPEC has no obligation to repay any such advances except by crediting the amount of such advances against IST’s obligation to reimburse net losses, or by adding the amount thereof to net received profit when and as requested by IST. The parties to the MSA also agreed to the calculation of a true-up amount, consisting of the cumulative net profit or net losses of iASPEC from October 9, 2006, when iASPEC commenced its contractual relationship with IST, through the date of the MSA, and iASPEC will pay such true-up amount to IST if there is a net received profit, while IST is obligated to reimburse such true-up amount to iASPEC if it is there is a net loss.

In connection with the MSA, IST also entered into an Option Agreement with iASPEC and its shareholders, effective as of July 1, 2007, pursuant to which the iASPEC shareholders granted the Company or its designee(s) an exclusive, irrevocable option to purchase, from time to time, all or a part of iASPEC’s shares or iASPEC’s assets from the iASPEC shareholders. However, according to the Option Agreement, the option may not be exercised by IST 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 iASPEC, to be cancelled or invalidated. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, the option is immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $1,800,000 in the aggregate, subject to regulatory approval. In addition, iASPEC and the iASPEC shareholders agreed to use their best efforts to acquire all necessary government approvals and other consents to complete a share purchase under the Option Agreement. The Option Agreement may be rescinded by the Company upon 30days’ notice and will terminate on the date that the Company purchases all remaining shares or assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement. If any of the parties breaches the Option Agreement and fails to remedy the breach, the breaching party will pay a penalty of RMB5,000,000 (approximately $712,000) to the non-breaching party or parties, and compensate the non-breaching party or parties for any losses caused by the breach. For more details regarding the MSA and Option Agreement, see our Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 6, 2007.

On December 13, 2009, IST, iASPEC and Mr. Lin, as the sole iASPEC Shareholder, amended and restated the MSA pursuant to which IST will continue to provide management and consulting services to iASPEC, subject to the following changes:

  • iASPEC agreed that IST will be entitled to receive ninety five percent (95%) of the Net Received Profit of iASPEC during the term of the Agreement, to be calculated as follows: accrued accounts receivable plus net turnover (revenue), minus cost of sales, minus operating expenses, and minus accrued but not collected accounts receivable, but only if the result is a positive number. iASPEC is obligated to calculate and pay the Net Received Profit due to IST no later than the last day of the first month following the end of each fiscal quarter;

  • Mr. Lin agreed to enter into a pledge agreement with IST to pledge all his equity interests in iASPEC as security for his and iASPEC's fulfillment of their respective obligations under the MSA, and to register the pledge agreement with the local AIC (administration for industry and commerce);

  • Mr. Lin confirmed his status as the sole iASPEC Shareholder and his assumption of all the obligations of the iASPEC Shareholder under the agreement, including a confirmation of his continuing obligation under the written guaranty, dated August 1, 2007, executed by the iASPEC Shareholders in connection with the MSA;

  • Based on iASPEC’s needs for its development and operation, IST has the right, from time to time, at its sole discretion, to provide iASPEC with capital support either as an entrustment of funds to iASPEC, or as an advance to Mr. Lin, as iASPEC Shareholder, for the sole purpose of making a capital contribution to iASPEC for use in the business of iASPEC; provided that, any such advance for capital contribution will be evidenced by an "advance agreement" in the form attached to the Amended and Restated MSA; and

  • IST agreed that it will not interfere in any business of iASPEC covered by iASPEC’s State Secret related Computer Information System Integration Certificate, including but not limited to, seeking access to relevant documents regarding such business; provided, however, that iASPEC agreed that it will cooperate with the requests of the Company as necessary to comply with the Company’s reporting obligations to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

For details regarding the terms of the MSA and the Equity Transfer Agreement, see the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2007, July 3, 2008, and December 17, 2009, respectively.

Seasonality of our Sales

Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to seasonal variations. This pattern may change, however, as a result of new market opportunities or new product introductions.

Inflation

Inflation has not materially affected our business or the results of our operations to date.

Critical Accounting Policies

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:

  • Goodwill—Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net of the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and the fair value of liabilities assumed upon the acquisition of Information Security Software Investment Limited, or ISSI (formerly Fortune Fame International Limited) in 2007, Information Security International Investment and Development Limited, or ISIID (formerly Bocom Multimedia Display Technology Co., Ltd.), Wuda Geo Informatics Co., Ltd, or Geo, Kwong Tai International Technology Limited, or Kwong Tai, and Huipu Electronics (China) Company Limited, or Huipu. Management evaluates the carrying value of goodwill annually or when a possible impairment is indicated. We perform our impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2009.

  • Revenue Recognition—Revenues from products are recognized only when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, revenue is recognized (1) upon shipment for equipment and software, (2) as work is performed for professional services and (3) in equal periodic amounts over the term of the contract for software and hardware maintenance.

  • The majority of revenues are generated from fixed-price contracts, which provide for licenses to software products, and services to customize such software to meet customers' use. Generally, when the services are determined to be essential to the functionality of the delivered software, revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method of accounting. The percentage of completion for each contract is estimated based on the ratio of direct labor hours incurred to total estimated direct labor hours. We review accounts receivables for allowances whenever events or changes in circumstances indicates that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable, losses on accounts receivables are provided when they become evident

  • Foreign Currency Translation—The functional currency of our wholly- owned PRC subsidiaries, IST, ISS, Bocom, Zhongtian, Huipu and our VIE, iASPEC and its subsidiary, Geo is the Chinese Renminbi Yuan, (“RMB”). RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. Our PRC subsidiaries’ financial statements are maintained in the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

The exchange rates adopted are as follows:

    December 31,  
  2009 2008 2007
       
Year end exchange rate 6.81663 6.8542 7.3141
Average yearly exchange rate 6.82082 6.9623 7.6172

No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into United States dollars at the rates used in translation.

  • Income Taxes - Income tax expense is based on reported income before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between assets and liabilities that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. Deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws.

  • Earnings per Share - Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the entity. For the year ended December 31, 2009, there is no dilutive effect.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments that requires the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments be included in interim financial statements. This guidance also requires entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim and annual basis and to highlight any changes from prior periods. This guidance was effective for interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on the Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets that addresses information a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about the transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. The guidance also removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset, defines participating interest and enhances the information provided to financial statement users to provide greater transparency. This guidance is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In October 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. Specifically, the new standard requires an entity to allocate consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. In the absence of the vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of the selling prices, consideration must be allocated to the deliverables based on management’s best estimate of the selling prices. In addition, the new standard eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation. In October 2009, the FASB also issued a new accounting standard which changes revenue recognition for tangible products containing software and hardware elements. Specifically, tangible products containing software and hardware that function together to deliver the tangible products’ essential functionality are scoped out of the existing software revenue recognition guidance and will be accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance discussed above. Both standards will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard may have on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

The Company deposits surplus funds with Chinese banks earning daily interest. The Company does not invest in any instruments for trading purposes. Most of the Company’s outstanding debt instruments carry fixed rates of interest. The Company’s operations generally are not directly sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. The amount of long-term debt outstanding as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $ 2 million and $0, respectively. A hypothetical 1.0% increase in the annual interest rates for all of our credit facilities under which we had outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2009, would decrease net income before provision for income taxes by approximately $20,000 or less than 1% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Management monitors the banks’ prime rates in conjunction with our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances relative to other sources of funds. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk.

Foreign Exchange Risk

While our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, substantially all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in RMB. Substantially all of our assets are denominated in RMB except for cash. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB. If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial statements will decline. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any resulting translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are included in determining other comprehensive income, a component of equity. An average appreciation (depreciation) of the RMB against the U.S. dollar of 5% would increase(decrease) our comprehensive income by $ 5 million based on our outstanding revenues, costs and expenses, assets and liabilities denominated in RMB as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, our accumulated other comprehensive income was $5 million. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.

The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. Since July 2005, the Renminbi has not 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 Renminbi 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 Renminbi exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.

Inflation

Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15(e), our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jiang Huai Lin and our Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Jackie You Kazmerzak, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2009. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, Mr. Lin and Ms. Kazmerzak, determined that, as of December 31, 2009, and as of the date of this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over our financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-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, the a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company’s 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: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) 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, or US GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal controls, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls, such that internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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 and procedures may deteriorate. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of our financial reporting.

Management, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jiang Huai Lin and our Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Jackie You Kazmerzak, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. Management excluded from this assessment, the business that we acquired in 2009, because it was not possible to conduct an assessment of the business's internal control over financial reporting in the period between the consummation date and the date of management’s assessment. With respect to excluding this company, we are required to (1) formally note that management is excluding this acquired business from management’s report on internal control over financial reporting; (2) clearly identify the acquired business excluded and have indicated the significance of the acquired business in our company’s consolidated financial statements; and (3) disclose material changes, if any, to our internal control over financial reporting due to the acquisition of this business. We have excluded Huipu, our PRC indirect subsidiary, from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 because this company was acquired on October 14, 2009 and qualified under current SEC regulations for exclusion from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting. Huipu’s financial statements constitute 18.26% of our total assets, 4.33% of total revenues, and less than 1% of net income of our consolidated financial statements amounts, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009. In assessing the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we determined that as of December 31, 2009, our internal controls over financial reporting were effective based on those criteria.

(c) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.  As a result of the remediation taken by management during fiscal year 2009 and disclosed in our periodic reports for the periods in which such remediation ocurred, the material weaknesses identified as of December 31, 2008 have been fully remediated as at December 31, 2009.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders
China Information Security Technology, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Information Security Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009. We also have audited China Information Security Technology, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control -Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). China Information Security Technology, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.

As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A(b) of the Company’s December 31, 2009 annual report on Form 10-K, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include a business acquisition during 2009 because it was not possible to conduct an assessment of the acquired business’s internal control over financial reporting in the period between the consummation date and the date of management’s assessment. The business comprises 13.3%, 4.6% and less than 1% of total assets, total revenue and net income, respectively, included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2009. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of the acquired business.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China Information Security Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, China Information Security Technology, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, during 2009 the provisions of new accounting standards relating to business combinations and non-controlling interests were adopted.

China Information Security Technology Inc (the "Company" or “CIST”), and its subsidiaries, is a provider of integrated solutions for the information security sector, and full-service Geographic Information Systems (“GIS”) solutions to the public security and civil-use markets in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), specializing in providing information security technology, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and digital hospital information systems, as well as the sale of computer hardware and software, and the provision of Certificate Authority, or CA, an application platform and e-Government solution technology. These services are provided through the Company’s wholly-owned PRC subsidiaries, Information Security Technology (PRC) Co., Ltd ("IST"), Information Security Software (China) Co., Ltd (formerly, Information Security Development Technology Co., Ltd), or "ISS," Shenzhen Bocom Multimedia Display Technology Co., Ltd ("Bocom"), Shenzhen Zhongtian Development Company Ltd (“Zhongtian”) and Huipu Electronics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd (“Huipu”), and through the Company’s variable interest entity ("VIE"), iASPEC Software Company Limited ("iASPEC"), and its subsidiary, Wuda Geoinformatics Co., Ltd ("Geo").

On April 2, 2007, China Public Security Technology, Inc. ("CPST") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with CIST, a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of CPST. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CPST agreed to merge with and into CIST, with CIST being the surviving entity (the "Reincorporation Merger"). The Reincorporation Merger became effective on April 7, 2008. The Reincorporation Merger was effected by an exchange of shares of CPST into shares of CIST on a one-for-one basis. As a result of the Reincorporation Merger, CPST became domiciled in Nevada its name was changed to China Information Security Technology, Inc. All assets, liabilities, contracts and obligations of CPST became the assets, liabilities, contracts and obligations of CIST. References to the Company are to CIST as successor to CPST and its subsidiaries.

Business Turnkey Agreement

On October 9, 2006, IST, entered into a Business Turnkey Agreement, as amended (the “Turnkey Agreement”) with iASPEC Software Company Limited, (formerly Shenzhen iASPEC Software Engineering Company Limited) (“iASPEC”), a PRC company controlled by Mr. Lin, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“Mr Lin”). iASPEC is a software development company that provides public security information technology, Police-Use Geographic Information Systems (“PGIS”) and Civil-Use Geographic Information Systems (“CGIS”) operating services to government and private customers in the PRC. Under the Turnkey Agreement, IST was to pay an annual fee of $180,000 to iASPEC and was to perform all services necessary for iASPEC to fulfill its customer contracts in exchange for 100% or 90% of the revenues from such contracts, depending on the contract. In addition, under the Turnkey Agreement, iASPEC granted IST an exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, worldwide perpetual license to use and install iASPEC’s proprietary software. No other tangible assets or liabilities were transferred to IST under the Turnkey Agreement.

Effective July 1, 2007, IST, iASPEC and iASPEC’s then shareholders, Mr. Lin and Mr. Jin Zhu Cai, terminated the Turnkey Agreement, and replaced it with a Management Service Agreement (“MSA”).

Management Service Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the MSA, iASPEC granted IST a ten-year, exclusive, royalty-free, transferable worldwide license to use and install certain iASPEC software, along with copies of source and object codes relating to such software. In addition, IST licensed back to iASPEC a royalty-free, limited, non-exclusive license to the software, without right of sub-license, for the sole purpose of permitting iASPEC to carry out its business as presently conducted. IST has the right to designate two Chinese citizens to serve as senior managers of iASPEC, to serve as a majority on iASPEC’s Board of Directors, and to assist in managing the business and operations of iASPEC. In addition, both iASPEC and IST will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, including at least one non-insider director, for certain material actions, as defined, with respect to iASPEC.

- F-11 -


1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)

Under the MSA, IST receives 100% of the net received profit of iASPEC, and reimburses iASPEC for all net losses incurred by iASPEC, as such terms are defined in the MSA, and iASPEC is permitted to retain $180,000 per year out of the net received profits. The MSA also provides that IST may advance to iASPEC, at its sole discretion, amounts to be credited against IST’s future obligations to iASPEC. Any such advances are treated as prepayments and not as loans and iASPEC has no obligation to repay any such advances except by crediting the amount of such advances against IST’s obligation to reimburse net losses, or by adding the amount thereof to net received profit when and as requested by IST. The parties to the MSA also agreed to the calculation of a true-up amount, consisting of the cumulative net profit or net losses of iASPEC from October 9, 2006 to June 30, 2007, when iASPEC commenced its contractual relationship with IST, through the date of the MSA.

In connection with the MSA, IST also entered into an immediately exercisable purchase option agreement (“Option Agreement”) with iASPEC and its shareholders, pursuant to which the iASPEC shareholders granted the Company or its designee(s) an exclusive, irrevocable option to purchase, from time to time, all or a part of iASPEC’s shares or iASPEC’s assets from the iASPEC shareholders for $1,800,000 in the aggregate. The option may not be exercised if the exercise would violate any applicable laws and regulations in the PRC or cause any license or permit held by, and necessary for the operation of iASPEC, to be cancelled or invalidated.

The substance of the MSA and the Option Agreement is to:

  • Allow the Company to utilize the business licenses, contacts, permits and other resources of iASPEC in order for the Company to be able to expand its operations and business model;

  • Provide the Company with effective control over all of iASPEC's operations;

  • Allow the shareholders of iASPEC an opportunity to monetize a portion of their investment through the $1.8 million purchase option.

As a result of the MSA and the Option Agreement, on July 1, 2007 iASPEC became a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) of the Company and iASPEC’s results are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. To comply with PRC laws and regulations that restrict foreign ownership of companies that provide public security information technology and Geographic Information Systems software operating services to certain government and other customers, the Company operates the restricted aspect of its business through iASPEC.

Amended and Restated MSA

On December 13, 2009, IST, iASPEC and Mr. Lin, as the sole iASPEC shareholder, amended and restated the MSA (the "Amended and Restated MSA"), pursuant to which IST will continue to provide management and consulting services to iASPEC, subject to the following changes:

  • iASPEC agreed that IST will be entitled to receive ninety five percent (95%) of the Net Received Profit, as defined, of iASPEC during the term of the Agreement. iASPEC is obligated to calculate and pay the Net Received Profit due to IST no later than the last day of the first month following the end of each fiscal quarter;

  • Mr. Lin agreed to enter into a pledge agreement with IST to pledge all of his equity interests in iASPEC as security for his and iASPEC's fulfillment of their respective obligations under the MSA, and to register the pledge agreement with the local AIC (Administration for Industry and Commerce);

  • Mr. Lin confirmed his status as the sole iASPEC shareholder and his assumption of all of the obligations of the iASPEC shareholder under the agreement, including a confirmation of his continuing obligation under the written guaranty, dated August 1, 2007, executed by the then iASPEC shareholders in connection with the MSA;

  • Based on iASPEC’s needs for its development and operation, IST has the right, from time to time, at its sole discretion, to provide iASPEC with capital support

- F-12 -


1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)

  • IST agreed that it will not interfere in any business of iASPEC covered by iASPEC’s PRC State Secret related Computer Information System Integration Certificate, including but not limited to, seeking access to relevant documents regarding such business; provided, however, that iASPEC agreed that it will cooperate with the requests of the Company as necessary to comply with the Company’s reporting obligations to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company has performed a reassessment of its VIE relationship with iASPEC as a result of the Amended and Restated MSA and concluded that iASPEC continues to be the Company’s VIE.

In May 2008, IST entered into a contractual joint venture agreement with Huipu to set up a joint venture project in manufacturing and sales of LCD screens. According to the contract, the Company provided funds to the project for equipment acquisition, repayable by Huipu if certain revenue and income targets were not met. This contractual arrangement resulted in a variable interest, as the Company was the primary beneficiary of the project.

In May 2008, IST also entered into a contractual joint venture agreement with Lianchengwen Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. ("LTS"), to set up a joint venture project in leasing LED screens. According to the contract, the Company provided funds to the project for equipment acquisition, repayable by LTS if certain revenue and income targets were not met. This contractual arrangement also resulted in the creation of a variable interest, as the Company was the primary beneficiary of the project.

Effective December 31, 2008, the contractual joint venture agreements were terminated and the cash flows of these two VIE’s has been eliminated from IST’s ongoing operations and IST has no continuing involvement in the VIEs. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses of the joint ventures are no longer included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and $718,000, representing IST’s agreed-upon share of the VIEs’ net income from inception through termination, has been recorded as income from discontinued operations. The Company received a refund its $4.1 million investment in LTS in the second quarter of 2009. During the third quarter of 2009, the Company and Huipu agreed to offset the receivable for the refund of IST’s investment in the joint venture of approximately $4.4 million, with advances made by Huipu to iASPEC. In October 2009, the Company acquired Huipu in a purchase transaction (Note 5).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and its VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ from those estimates.

(c) Economic and Political Risks

The majority of the Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.

(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased and cash deposits with financial institutions with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company maintains its cash accounts at credit worthy financial institutions and closely monitors the movements of its cash positions. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, approximately $19.34 million and $9.56 million, respectively was held in bank accounts in the PRC.

(e) Restricted Cash

Restricted cash as of December 31, 2009 consists of security deposits that serve as collateral for the Company's revolving working capital facility (Note 12).

- F-14 -


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(f) Short-term Investments

The Company’s short-term investments are accounted for as either available-for-sale or trading securities. Investments accounted for as available for sale are stated at fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses (net of deferred income tax assets (liabilities)) reported as a component of equity. Investments accounted for as trading securities are stated at fair market value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in income. The cost of securities sold is determined based on the specific identification method for purposes of recording realized gains and losses.

(g) Accounts Receivable, Bills Receivable and Concentration of Risk

During the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its customers. The Company regularly evaluates and monitors the creditworthiness of each customer on a case-by-case basis. The Company includes any account balances that are determined to be uncollectible in an allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

Bills receivable represent bank undertakings that essentially guarantee payment of amounts thereunder. The undertakings are provided by banks upon receipt of collateral deposits from the Company’s customers or debtors. Bills receivable can be sold at a discount before maturity, which is typically within three months.

Accounts receivable include $47.85 million and $25.72 million of unbilled accounts receivable at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Unbilled accounts receivable consist of estimated future billings for work performed but not yet invoiced to the customer. Unbilled accounts receivable are generally invoiced upon the completion of work orders, which is estimated to be within one year.

The Company’s top five customers accounted for 31% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009, of which no single customer accounted for greater than 10% or more of accounts receivable. The Company’s top five customers accounted for 43.5 % of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2008, of which two customers accounted for 10.8% and 10.0% of accounts receivable. No other customers accounted for greater than 10% of accounts receivable.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2008, one customers accounted for 13% of the revenue and no other customer contributed greater than 10% of revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2007, two customers accounted for 21% and 26% of revenue, respectively, and no other customer contributed greater than 10% of revenue. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2009 and 2008, totaled $3,123,000 and $399,800 respectively, representing management’s best estimate.

(h) Advances to Suppliers

Advances to suppliers represents cash deposits for the purchase of inventory items from suppliers.

(i) Advances from Customers

Advances from customers represents cash received from customers as advance payments for the purchase of the Company’s products.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(j) Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Accounting

Financial Instruments

Management has estimated that the carrying amounts of non-related party financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of the amount due from (to) related parties is not practicable to estimate due to the related party nature of the underlying transactions.

Fair Value Accounting

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 820.10 (“FASB ASC 820.10) establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). As required by FASB ASC 820.10, assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820.10 are described below:

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2

Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

Level 3

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company completed a business acquisition in which non-financial assets and liabilities were initially measured at fair value using level 3 inputs.

(k) Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

The Company performs an analysis of slow-moving or obsolete inventory periodically and any necessary valuation reserves, which could potentially be significant, are included in the period in which the evaluations are completed.

For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, approximately 33% and 46%, respectively of total inventory purchases were from five unrelated suppliers. Two suppliers accounted for 11.5% and 10.3% of total inventory purchase in 2009 and no other suppliers accounted for greater than 10% of total inventory purchases. In 2008, two suppliers accounted for 19.2% and 11.6% of total inventory purchases and no other suppliers accounted for greater than 10% of total inventory purchases.

(l) Long-term Investments

Long-term investments are carried at cost. If a decline in the fair value of a cost method investment is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and the fair value becomes the new cost basis of the investment. Management evaluates all cost method investments for impairment; however, the fair value of the cost method investments is not required to be determined unless impairment indicators are present. When impairment indicators exist, discounted cash flow analyses are generally used to estimate the fair value.

- F-16 -


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(m) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the assets' estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Office buildings 20-50 years
Plant and machinery 3-20 years
Electronics equipment, furniture and fixtures 3-5 years
Motor vehicles 5 years
Purchased software 3-10 years

Maintenance and repairs costs are expensed as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

(n) Land use rights

All land in the PRC is owned by the PRC government. The government in the PRC, according to the PRC law, may sell the right to use the land for a specified period of time. Thus, all of the Company’s land purchases in the PRC are considered to be leasehold land under operating lease arrangement and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment loss. The cost of the land use right is amortized on a straight-line basis over 46 years.

(o) Intangible assets

Intangible assets represent technology-based intangible assets acquired in connection with business acquisitions and software development costs capitalized by the Company’s subsidiaries.

Intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Software development costs 2-5 years
Technology 10-20 years

(p) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net of the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and the fair value of liabilities assumed in business acquisitions. Management of the Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill annually or when a possible impairment is indicated. The Company performs its impairment assessment annually during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2009. Goodwill impairment is assessed using the expected present value of associated future cash flows (Level 3 inputs)

(q) Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is determined by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets held for disposal, if any, are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

(r) Revenue Recognition

The Company generates its revenues primarily from three sources, (1) hardware sales, (2) software  sales and (3) system integration services. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" and Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) No.605.35 ("FASB ASC 605.35").

Revenues from hardware products are recognized only when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and upon receipt of customers' acceptance, the price to the customer is fixed or determinable in accordance with the contract, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Software revenues are generated from fixed-price contracts which include the development of software products, and services to customize such software to meet customers' needs. Generally, when the services are determined to be essential to the functionality of the delivered software, revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC 605.35. The percentage of completion for each contract is estimated based on the ratio of direct labor hours incurred to total estimated direct labor hours. The Company provides post contract support (PCS), which includes telephone technical support, that is not essential to the functionality of the software. Although vendor-specific objective evidence does not exist for PCS, because (1) the PCS fees are included in the total contract amount, (2) the PCS service period is for less than one year, (3) the estimated cost of providing PCS is not significant, and (4) unspecified upgrades/ enhancements offered are minimal and infrequent; the Company recognizes PCS revenue together with the initial fee after delivery and customer acceptance of the software products.

System integration revenues are generated from fixed-price contracts which provide for software development and hardware integration, which involves more than minor modifications to the functionality of the software and hardware products. Accordingly, system integration revenues are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 605.35, using the percentage of completion method of accounting. The percentage of completion for each contract is estimated based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs. Contract periods are usually less than six months, and typical contract periods for PCS are 12 months.

System integration projects are billed in accordance with contract terms, which typically require partial payment at the signing of the contract, at delivery and customer acceptance dates, with the remainder due within a stated period of time not exceeding 12 months. Occasionally, the Company enters into contracts which allow a percentage of the total contract price to be paid one to three years after completion of the system integration project. Revenues on these extended payments are recognized upon completion of the terms specified in the contract and when collectability is reasonably assured.

No rights of return are allowed except for non-conforming products, which have been insignificant based on historical experiences. If non-conforming products are returned due to software issues, the Company will provide upgrades or additional customization to suit customers' needs. In cases where non-conformity is a result of integrated hardware, the Company returns the hardware to the original vendor for replacement.

Unbilled accounts receivable consist of estimated future billings for work performed but not yet invoiced to the customer. Unbilled accounts receivable are generally invoiced within one year of completion of the work performed. Changes in estimates for revenues, costs and profits are recognized in the period in which they are determinable. When the Company's estimates indicate that the entire contract will be performed at a loss, a provision for the entire loss is recorded in the current accounting period.

(s) Treasury Stock

The Company repurchases its common stock from time to time in the open market and holds such shares as treasury stock. The Company applies the "cost method" and presents the cost to repurchase such shares as a reduction in shareholders' equity. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has repurchased 6,000 shares of common stock.

(t) Retirement Plan

Retirement benefits in the form of contributions under a defined contribution retirement plan to the relevant authorities are charged to earnings as incurred. Retirement benefit expenses for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $537,915, $428,800 and $117,753, respectively.

(u) Stock-based compensation

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock-based compensation at the grant date fair value of the award by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognizes the compensation costs, net of a forfeiture rate, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is the vesting term. During the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized approximately $1,453,110, $1,605,000 and $678,000, respectively of compensation expenses under the Plan. As of December 31, 2009, there was no unrecognized compensation expenses.

(v) Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the US and British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) Companies is the United States Dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiaries is the Hong Kong Dollar.

The functional currency of the Company’s wholly-owned PRC subsidiaries and its VIE is the Chinese Renminbi Yuan, (“RMB”). RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. The Company’s PRC subsidiaries’ and their VIE’s financial statements are maintained in the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

For financial reporting purposes the financial statements of the Company, have been translated into United States dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any resulting translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of equity.

The exchange rates adopted are as follows:

  December 31, December 31,
  2009 2008
Year end exchange rate 6.8372 6.8542
Average yearly exchange rate 6.8409 6.9623

No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into United States dollars at the rates used in translation.

(w) Accounting for Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed

The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with FASB ACS 985-20-Cost of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed. Costs related to establishing the technological feasibility of a software product are expensed as incurred as a part of research and development expenses. Costs that are incurred to produce the finished products after technological feasibility is established are capitalized and amortized over the estimated economic life from 2 to 5 years. The Company performs periodic reviews to ensure that unamortized program costs remain recoverable from future revenue. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, $1,079,148 and $483,849, respectively was capitalized. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, unamortized capitalized software costs were $1,240,439, and $845,828, respectively.

(x) Income Taxes

Income tax expense is based on reported income before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between assets and liabilities that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. In accordance with FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes, these deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws.

(y) Segment reporting

Segment information is consistent with how management reviews the businesses, makes investing and resource allocation decisions and assesses operating performance. Transfers and sales between reportable segments, if any, are recorded at cost.

In connection with the changes in the Company's business portfolio and realignment of management, management conducted a review of its operating business segments during the first quarter of 2009. The review resulted in adding the Digital Hospital Information System Segment and merging the Product Sales Segment into Digital Information Security Technology Segment.

The Company's new segment reporting, which has been used for all periods presented, follows the organizational structure as reflected in its internal management reporting systems, which are the basis for assessing the financial performance of the business segments and for allocating resources to the business segments.

The Company reports financial and operating information in the following three segments:

(1)        Digital Information Security Technology Segment ("DIST"): includes revenues from information security related projects;

(2)

Geographic Information Systems Segment ("GIS"): includes the Police-Use Geographic Information Systems ("PGIS") and Civil-Use GIS sale;

   
(3)

Digital Hospital Information System Segment ("DHIS"): includes revenues from digital information system provided to hospitals or medical institutes.

The Company also provides general corporate services to its segments and these costs are reported as "Corporate and others."

All of the Company’s revenues are earned in the PRC and substantially all of the Company’s assets are located in the PRC.

(z) Sales, use and other value added tax

Revenue is recorded net of applicable sales, use and value added tax.

(aa) Derivatives

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, which requires the application of a two-step approach in evaluating whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to our own stock, including evaluation of the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. The adoption of ASC 815 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

(ab) Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") approved its Accounting Standards Codification or Codification as the single source of authoritative United States accounting and reporting standards applicable for all nongovernmental entities, with the exception of the SEC and its staff. The Codification, which changes the referencing of financial standards, is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after September 15, 2009. Therefore, beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, all references made to US GAAP use the new Codification numbering system prescribed by the FASB. As the Codification is not intended to change or alter existing US GAAP, it is not expected to have any impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB amended its guidance on accounting for variable interest entities ("VIE"). The new accounting guidance will result in a change in the Company's accounting policy effective January 1, 2010. Among other things, the new guidance requires a qualitative rather than a quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE; requires continuous assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE; enhances disclosures about an enterprise's involvement with a VIE; and amends certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a VIE. Under the new guidance, a VIE must be consolidated if the enterprise has both (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company is evaluating the impact that this change in accounting policy will have on its consolidated financial statements. Based on an initial assessment, the Company anticipates that certain entities that are consolidated under our current accounting policy may not be consolidated subsequent to the effective date of the new guidance. The Company does not expect this change in accounting policy to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB amended its guidance on accounting for Subsequent Events which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted newly effective authoritative guidance that clarifies the accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving equity method investments. The Company does not currently have any investments that are accounted for under the equity method. The adoption of this new authoritative guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(ab) Recently Issued Accounting Guidance (continued)

In December 2007, the FASB amended its guidance on accounting for business combinations. The new accounting guidance resulted in a change in our accounting policy effective January 1, 2009, and is being applied prospectively to all business combinations subsequent to the effective date. Among other things, the new guidance amends the principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. It also establishes new disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The adoption of this new accounting policy did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements in future periods will depend on the nature and size of business combinations completed subsequent to the date of adoption.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting and disclosure guidance related to non-controlling interests in subsidiaries (previously referred to as minority interests), which resulted in a change in accounting policy effective January 1, 2009. Among other things, the new guidance requires that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary be accounted for as a component of equity separate from the parent's equity, rather than as a liability. The new guidance is being applied prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which have been applied retrospectively.

Accordingly, after adoption, non-controlling interests (approximately $15.6 million and $15.3 million at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively) are classified as equity, a change from its previous classification between liabilities and stockholders' equity. Earnings attributable to non-controlling interest (approximately ($43,000, $241,000 and $90,000 for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively) are included in net income, although such earnings continue to be deducted to measure earnings per share. Purchases and sales of non-controlling interests are reported in equity similar to treasury stock transactions.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that defines collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting requirements for transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between participants in the arrangement and third parties. It also establishes the appropriate income statement presentation and classification for joint operating activities and payments between participants, as well as the sufficiency of the disclosures related to those arrangements. This new accounting guidance was effective for the Company on January 1, 2009, and its adoption did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments that requires the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments be included in interim financial statements. This guidance also requires entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim and annual basis and to highlight any changes from prior periods. This guidance was effective for interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on the Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets that addresses information a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about the transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. The guidance also removes the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset, defines participating interest and enhances the information provided to financial statement users to provide greater transparency. This guidance is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

In October 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. Specifically, the new standard requires an entity to allocate consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. In the absence of the vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of the selling prices, consideration must be allocated to the deliverables based on management’s best estimate of the selling prices. In addition, the new standard eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation. In October 2009, the FASB also issued a new accounting standard which changes revenue recognition for tangible products containing software and hardware elements. Specifically, tangible products containing software and hardware that function together to deliver the tangible products’ essential functionality are scoped out of the existing software revenue recognition guidance and will be accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance discussed above. Both standards will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard may have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

The Company is the primary beneficiary of iASPEC, pursuant to the MSA, and iASPEC qualifies as a variable interest entity of the Company. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses of iASPEC have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In order to facilitate iASPEC’s expansion and also to provide financing for iASPEC to complete the acquisition of Geo as described in Note 5, Business Acquisitions, the Company advanced RMB38 million (approximately $5.4 million) to iASPEC in two installments on November 20, 2007 and May 8, 2008, respectively, to increase iASPEC’s registered capital. In order to comply with PRC laws and regulations, the advance was made to Mr. Lin, iASPEC’s then majority shareholder, who, upon the authority and direction of the Board of Directors, forwarded the funds to iASPEC. The Company has recorded the advance of these funds as an interest-free loan to iASPEC, which was eliminated against additional capital of iASPEC in consolidation. The increase in iASPEC’s registered capital does not affect IST’s exclusive option to purchase iASPEC’s assets and shares under the MSA.

For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, $43,076 ($180,000 from iASPEC and ($136,924) from Geo), $241,197 ($180,000 from iASPEC and $61,197 from Geo) and $90,000 (all from iASPEC), respectively have been attributed to non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of income of the Company.

At December 31, 2009, the consolidation of iASPEC and Geo, resulted in an increase in assets of approximately $51.7 million, an increase in liabilities (consisting primarily of accounts payable and short-term bank loans) of approximately $28.2 million, and an increase in non-controlling interest of approximately $15.4 million. For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the consolidation resulted in an increase in net income attributable to the Company of approximately $9.3 million, $10.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the entity. For purposes of the computation of net income per share, shares issued in connection with acquisitions that are returnable are considered contingently returnable shares under FASB ASC 260, although classified as issued and outstanding, are not included in the basic weighted average number of shares until all necessary conditions are met that no longer cause the shares to be contingently returnable. These contingently returnable shares are included in the diluted weighted average number of shares as of the beginning of the period in which the conditions were satisfied (or as of the date of the agreement, if later).

Components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007:

    2009     2008     2007  
                   
Income from continuing operations (net of income taxes and non- controlling interest) $ 30,094,569   $ 23,068,817   $  13,331,452  
Income from discontinued operations (net of income taxes and non- controlling interest) $  -   $ 718,159   $  -  
                   
Weighted average outstanding shares of common stock   48,676,391     46,398,600     39,718,967  
Effect of dilutive securities                  
   Warrants   -     131,905     433,888  
   Contingently issuable shares   -     322,322     -  
Common stock and common stock equivalents   -     -     -  
                   
Earnings per share:                  
Basic - From continuing operations $  0.62   $ $0.50   $  0.34  
Basic - From discontinued operations $  -     0.01   $  -  
                   
Diluted - From continuing operations $  0.62     0.49   $  0.33  
Diluted - From discontinued operations $  -   $ 0.02   $  -  

Warrants for the purchase of 400,000 shares were not included in 2009, 2008 or 2007 as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

As a result of the acquisition, the Company is expected to penetrate to those markets with the integrated system of the software and LCD/LED multi-screen display.

FASB ASC 805 – Business Combinations, applying to prospectively to 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, 2008, requires the consideration transferred shall be measured at the acquisition date fair value.

The total acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred was estimated at $22.06 million, which included the initial payments totaling approximately $8 million in cash, 1,101,930 of the Company’s common shares valued at $7.68 per share, representing the closing market price of the Company’s shares at acquisition date, and the estimated fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration to be paid to Huipu’s shareholders totaling approximately $5.6 million.

The fair value estimate of the contingent consideration is based on weighted probability (level 3 input) of achievement of After Tax Net Income targets (ATNI) in 2010, 2011 and 2012, which could result in the issuance of up to 1,101,930 additional shares of the Company’s common stock. Actual achievement of ATNI below $3.2 million would reduce the liability to zero and achievement of ATNI of $6.8 million or more would increase the liability to $6.8 million. A change in fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration could have a material effect on the statement of operations and financial position in the period of the change in estimate. Included in other income in 2009 is a gain of $1.1 million, due to the change in estimate of the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Huipu and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date.

These accumulated losses can be carried forward though approximately 2010. FASB ASC 740 requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. During the year ended December 31, 2009, an adjustment of $1,736,000 to the valuation allowance was made because management expects that there may not be sufficient taxable income in the future to realize this portion of the deferred tax assets.

14. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

Geo, iASPEC and Bocom are all governed by the Income Tax Laws of the PRC, and are approved as high-technology enterprises subject to the PRC enterprise income tax (“EIT”) at 15% in 2009.

ISS, Zhongtian and Huipu are subject to the PRC EIT at 20% in 2009.

The China Unified Corporate Income Tax Law (the “Unified Tax Law”) was released on March 6, 2007 and on November 28, 2007, the State Council of China passed the Implementing Rules for the EIT Law ("Implementing Rules"), both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, resulting in an increase in the PRC federal statutory tax rate to 25%.The Unified Tax Law is to be phased in over five years. Companies that were subject to an income tax of 15% in 2007 will pay 18% in 2008, 20% in 2009, 22% in 2010, 24% in 2011 and 25% from 2012.

As a wholly-owned foreign investment enterprise, IST is entitled to enjoy a two-year tax exemption, followed by a 50% exemption for three years thereafter as approved by PRC tax authorities. Under the EIT Law, companies that were previously exempt from taxes or that had concessional rates are to retain their preferences until the original expiration date. The Unified Tax Law does not impact IST’s income tax qualification to enjoy a tax exemption in fiscal year 2009 and IST will continue to qualify for a 50% tax exemption for the one year thereafter. EIT exemptions claimed by IST may become payable if IST were to dissolve within the next 10 years. However, management believes that the PRC tax authorities will not request payment of any such amounts.

The Company recognizes that virtually all tax position in the PRC are not free of some degree of uncertainty due to tax law and policy changes by the State. However, the Company cannot reasonably quantify political risk factors and thus must depend on guidance issued by current State officials.

Based on all known facts and circumstances and current tax law, the Company believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2009, is not material to its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company also believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2009, if recognized, would not have a material effect on its effective tax rate. The Company further believes that there are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible, based on current Chinese tax law and policy, that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over 12 months producing, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the date of adoption of FIN 48, the Company did not have any accrued interest or penalty associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense recognized for the years ended 2009, 2008 and 2007.

16. EQUITY (CONTINUED)

(b) Equity Transfer Agreement

On July 1, 2008, Mr. Lin, entered into an equity transfer agreement (the “Equity Transfer Agreement”) with Mr. Jin Zhu Cai (“Mr. Cai”), the owner of the 24% minority interest in iASPEC, pursuant to which, Mr. Lin agreed to purchase Mr. Cai’s Minority Interest in iASPEC from Mr. Cai, for a total consideration of RMB60 million (approximately $8.72 million) (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price was paid in 1,527,855 shares of restricted common stock of the Company owned by Mr. Lin, valued at $5.708 per share (based on a 5-day average of the Company’s share price during the week of June 23, 2008). Mr. Lin delivered the shares in September 2008. As a result of the Equity Transfer Agreement, Mr. Lin now holds 100% of the equity interest of iASPEC.

(c) Stock-based compensation

Effective June 13, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the China Information Security Technology, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (“The Plan”). The Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares. A total of 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan.

On November 30, 2007, subject to ratification of the Plan by the stockholders, the Company issued options to certain employees to purchase 490,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01, with an exercise price of $9.48 per share. The options were to vest on December 5, 2008 and expire on December 5, 2011.

On March 3, 2008, the Company's Board of Directors voided and canceled the grant of the stock options, and on March 20, 2008 approved the grant of 400,000 shares of common stock to the employees. The fair value of the Company’s common stock based on quoted market prices on March 20, 2008 was $4.30 per share. Since the cancellation and grant of the replacement award occurred concurrently, they were treated as a modification of the terms of the cancelled award. 100,000 shares of common stock became vested on June 20, 2008 and September 20, 2008, respectively, and the remaining 200,000 shares of common stock were vested on December 20, 2008.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure the fair value of stock options granted. The determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price, as well as by assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The expected term represents the weighted average period of time that stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding, giving consideration to employees’ expected exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. T-bill with maturity terms similar to the expected term on the stock-based awards. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of the grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and record stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.

On February 2, 2009, the Company granted eligible employees a total of 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as compensation under the Plan.

As of December 31, 2009, there was no unrecognized compensation expenses related to the non-vested options.

On January 12, 2010, the Company granted eligible employees a total of 213,363 shares of the Company's common stock as compensation under the Plan. The fair value of these shares of approximately $1.2 million, based on the quoted market price, was accrued as of December 31, 2009 as the compensation was for services provided in 2009.
