(With Independent Auditors’ Report Thereon)

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors and shareholders of

Celestial Semiconductor, Ltd.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Celestial Semiconductor, Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2009 and 2010, and December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, deficit and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, and for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Celestial Semiconductor, Ltd. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2009 and 2010, and December 31, 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, and for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 1(b) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and is in a net deficit position that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in note 1(b). The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, Significant Concentrations and Risks

(a)

Description of Business

Celestial Semiconductor, Ltd. (“Celestial Cayman”) is incorporated in Cayman Islands and was established on May 20, 2004. Celestial Cayman and its operating subsidiaries, namely Celestial Semiconductor (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (“Celestial Beijing”) and Celestial Semiconductor Inc. (“Celestial U.S.”) (collectively, referred to hereinafter as the “Company”) is engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of integrated circuits for the broadcast industry markets. The Company primarily sells integrated circuits to set-top-box manufacturers located in the People Republic of China (“PRC”) and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The Company also provides research and development services to semiconductor manufacturers. The Company has two research and development facilities that are located in Beijing, PRC and San Jose, California, the United States (“U.S.”) and outsources all of the manufacturing process to four third-party foundries.

(b)

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s fiscal year end is March 31. The December 31, 2009 and 2010 consolidated interim financial statements reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2010. These adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2009 is unaudited.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business are dependent on, among other things, the Company’s ability to operate profitably, to generate cash flows from operations, and the Company’s ability to pursue alternative financing arrangements to support its working capital requirements. As discussed below, the Company has suffered significant losses from operations and breached certain financial undertakings that raise substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described below. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company continues to face difficult market conditions, which have resulted in significant losses from operations and placed considerable pressure on the Company’s liquidity. As of December 31, 2010, the Company was in a net deficit position of USD 2.8 million. As discussed in notes 7 and 14, since December 31, 2008, the Company has defaulted in making the monthly installment payment on a loan provided by Venture Lending & Leasing IV, Inc. The Company has negotiated to delay the repayment of the entire loan balance of USD 1.6 million by no later than February 28, 2011.

Based on forecasted operating cash flows and the amount of available cash balance as of December 31, 2010, management believes the Company will be able to meet its commitments and liabilities, including repayment of the defaulted loan, when they fall due for a period extending at least one year beyond the date of the consolidated financial statements. In the event that market conditions and demand for the Company’s products deteriorate to cause losses and negative cash flows from operations and, despite its best efforts, the Company is unable to extend the payment term of the loan or secure additional financing sources from lenders and/or other parties to fund its operations and obligations, the Company will be required to dispose of assets, perhaps at a significant discount to the fair value thereof, seek bankruptcy protection or commence liquidation or other administrative proceedings.

Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of assets to their liquidation amounts, which may be lower than the assets carrying amount, and to provide for liabilities which might arise in connection with the liquidation and to reclassify non-current assets and liabilities as current assets and liabilities, respectively. The effects of these adjustments have not been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

(c)

Significant Concentration and Risks

The Company’s operating results are significantly dependent on its ability to develop and market products. The Company faces rapid technology advancement, which requires the Company to continually improve the performance, feature and reliability of its products. Inability of the Company to successfully develop and market its products as a result of competition or other factors would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company purchases raw materials from a limited number of suppliers. Management believes that other suppliers could provide similar raw materials on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, which would adversely affect operating results.

Sales to major customers, that individually exceeded 10% of the Company’s revenues, are as follows:


	Year Ended March 31,						Nine–Month Period Ended December 31,
	2009			2010			2009			2010
	Percentage			Percentage			Percentage			Percentage
							(Unaudited)
Company A		—			—			—			42	%
Company B		—			—			—			30	%
Company C		—			16	%		20	%		—
Company D		8	%		12	%		11	%		—
Company E		21	%		—			—			—
Company F		16	%		5	%		—			—
Company G		12	%		—			—			—

Total		57	%		33	%		31	%		72	%

Historically and for the periods presented, the Company’s sales and revenues were dependent upon a limited number of customers on a non-recurring basis. The loss of or a significant reduction in orders from any of these customers would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Celestial Cayman and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

(b)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the fair values of financial instruments and share-based compensation, the recoverability of the carrying amounts of property and equipment and intangible assets, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, the realizability of inventories and deferred income tax assets, the collectibility of accounts receivable, the accruals for income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions.

(c)

Foreign Currency Transactions

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in United States dollar (“U.S. dollar” or “USD”). The functional currency of Celestial Cayman and Celestial U.S. is the U.S. dollar, whereas the functional currency of Celestial Beijing is Renminbi (“RMB”).

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are remeasured into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in foreign currency exchange losses, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Assets and liabilities of Celestial Beijing are translated into USD using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into USD at average rates prevailing during the reporting period. The differences resulting from such translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within equity.

Since the RMB is not a fully convertible currency, all foreign exchange transactions involving RMB must take place either through the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”) or other institutions authorized to buy and sell foreign exchange. The exchange rates adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the PBOC.

(d)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists of cash on hand and cash in bank. The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents consisted of an investment in a money market fund in the amount of USD352,259 as of March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2009 and 2010, and December 31, 2010, the Company placed RMB denominated bank deposits of USD124,755, USD59,002 and USD403,495 with financial institutions in the PRC. As of March 31, 2009 and 2010, and December 31, 2010, the Company placed bank deposits of USD24,087, USD72,398 and USD3,008,693 with financial institutions in the U.S.

(e)

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. In establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and current payment patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. No allowance for doubtful accounts has been provided for any of the periods presented because management believes all balances are fully collectible. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

(f)

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first in, first out method. Work-in-progress and finished goods comprise direct materials, direct labor, indirect labor costs and overhead that have been incurred in the manufacturing process to bring the inventories to their present location and condition.

(g)

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:


Furniture and equipment		3 years
Software		3 years
Motor vehicles		5 years
Leasehold improvement		Shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the underlying asset

Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred, and replacements or betterments are capitalized. When items are retired or otherwise disposed of, income is charged or credited for the difference between net book value of the item disposed and proceeds realized thereon.

(h)

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of purchased licenses for technologies to be used in the Company’s research and development activities and that have alternative future uses (in research and development projects or otherwise). Management has determined that for an acquired technology to have an alternative future use, it should be (a) reasonably expected that the Company will use the technology in an alternative manner for an economic benefit and (b) the Company’s use of the technology is not contingent on further development subsequent to acquisition (that is, it can be used in an alternative manner at the acquisition date). The purchased technology licenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset ranging from 3 to 5 years, which is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the Company.

(i)

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a long-lived asset or asset group to be held and used is determined by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. Assets to be disposed are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated.

No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for any of the periods presented.

(j)

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when all of the following conditions are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. These criteria as they relate to each of the following major revenue generating activities are described below.

CELESTIAL SEMICONDUCTOR, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Products sales

Revenue from sale of products is recognized when the products are delivered to customers-appointed carriers, which is the point when the customers take ownership and assume risk of loss. The Company’s sales agreements do not provide customers the right of return. However, the Company allows for an exchange of products or return if the products are defective. For the periods presented, defective product returns were immaterial.

Service fees

The Company enters into research and development agreements with customers pursuant to which the Company develops integrated circuits technologies according to customers’ specifications. In exchange, the Company receives progress payments upon the achievement of milestone events. The Company recognizes revenue from service fees upon achievement of substantive milestones in the period in which they are achieved.

(k)

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

(l)

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates or tax laws is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period the change in tax rates or tax laws is enacted. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the carrying amount of deferred income tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

(m)

Share Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based payments under the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC Topic 718”). Under ASC Topic 718, the Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period. The Company recognizes compensation cost for an award with only service conditions that has a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award, provided that the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant-date value of such award that is vested at that date.

Employee Benefit Plans

Pursuant to relevant PRC regulations, the Company is required to make contributions to various defined contribution plans organized by municipal and provincial PRC governments. The contributions are made for each PRC employee at rates ranging from 31% to 44% on a standard salary base as determined by local social security bureau. Contributions to the defined contribution plans are charged to the consolidated statements of operations when the related service is provided. For the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, and for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, the costs of the Company’s obligations to the defined contribution plans amounted to USD294,314, USD383,171, USD284,563 (unaudited) and USD339,894, respectively. The Company has no other obligation for the payment of employee benefits associated with these plans beyond the contributions described above.

(o)

Operating Leases

Where the Company has the use of the assets under operating leases, payments made under the leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

(p)

Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, including, among others, government investigations, shareholder lawsuits, product liability claims and environmental remediation obligations, and non-income tax disputes. An accrual for a loss contingency is recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

(q)

Fair Value Measurements

On April 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, included in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC Topic 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be 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 measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

•

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

•

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

•

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820 to fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.

The Company did not have any financial assets and liabilities or nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2009 and 2010, and December 31, 2010.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (EITF Issue No. 08-1, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables). ASU 2009-13 amends ASC 650-25 to eliminate the requirement that all undelivered elements have vendor specific objective evidence of selling price (“VSOE”) or third party evidence of selling price (“TPE”) before an entity can recognize the portion of an overall arrangement fee that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. In the absence of VSOE and TPE for one or more delivered or undelivered elements in a multiple element arrangement, entities will be required to estimate the selling prices of those elements. The overall arrangement fee will be allocated to each element (both delivered and undelivered items) based on their relative selling prices, regardless of whether those selling prices are evidenced by VSOE or TPE or are based on the entity’s estimated selling price. Application of the “residual method” of allocating an overall arrangement fee between delivered and undelivered elements will no longer be permitted upon adoption of ASU 2009-13. Additionally, the new guidance will require entities to disclose more information about their multiple element revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of adopting ASU2009-13 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Notes Payable

On August 9, 2006, the Company entered into a loan agreement (“Original Loan Agreement”) with Venture Lending & Leasing IV, Inc. (“Lender”), pursuant to which the Company borrowed a loan of USD2,500,000 from the Lender at an interest rate of 11.003% per annum. The Company was required to pay equal monthly instalments of USD92,685 from August 31, 2006 to June 1, 2009. In connection with the Original Loan Agreement, the Company also issued a warrant to Venture Lending & Leasing IV, LLC (“LLC”), the Lender’s parent company, to purchase an aggregate of 363,636 Series A preferred shares at an exercise price of USD0.55 per share. The warrant is exercisable until December 31, 2014. The assets of Celestial Cayman and Celestial U.S. were provided as the collateral for the loan.

In May 2008, the Company defaulted in making the monthly instalment payment. On September 30, 2008, the Company and the Lender entered into an amendment to the Original Loan Agreement (“Amendment I”) pursuant to which the unpaid balance of USD1,342,257, including accumulated interest, was restructured into or exchanged for a long-term loan of USD894,838 (“long term loan”) and a promissory note of USD447,419. Both the long-term loan and the promissory note bear an interest rate of 12.000% per annum. The long-term loan was payable in equal monthly instalments of USD41,734 from October 1, 2008 to September 1, 2010. The promissory note including principal and accrued interest was due at the earlier of (i) September 30, 2011 (ii) the closing of a Qualified Equity Financing or a Liquidity Event, as defined in the Amendment I. In connection with the Amendment I, the Company also issued a warrant to LLC on October 1, 2008, to purchase an aggregate of 1,096,512 Series A-1 preferred shares at an exercise price of USD0.02, as adjusted for any share splits and share dividends. The fair value of the warrant was USD13,158. In December 2008, the Company defaulted in making the monthly instalment payment on the long term loan.

Management assessed whether the modification or exchange of the loan under the Original Loan Agreement was considered “substantial”, as defined by ASC Subtopic 470-50, Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments, and concluded it was not a substantial modification, because the change in the present value of cash flows under the long term loan and promissory note as compared to the present value of the remaining cash flows of the loan under the terms of the Original Loan Agreement was less than 10%.

Pursuant to the terms of the Original Loan Agreement, as amended, the Company was required to submit audited annual consolidated financial statements to the Lender within 180 days after the fiscal year end. Failure to perform such affirmative covenant will constitute an event of default which will give the Lender the right to demand all outstanding amount to be repaid immediately. As of March 31, 2009 and 2010, and December 31, 2010, the Company was in default of such affirmative covenant. In addition, since December 2008, the Company has defaulted in making the monthly instalment payment related to the long-term loan. Accordingly, both the long-term loan and the promissory note were classified as a current liability for all periods presented. On January 4, 2011, the Company entered into another amendment with the Lender (“Amendment II”). See note (14).

As of December 31, 2010, USD3,008,693, USD92,128, USD2,549,378, USD114,491 and USD417,474 of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, inventories, property and equipment, and intangible assets were provided as the collateral for the long term loan and the promissory note.

Income Taxes

Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, Celestial Cayman is not subject to tax on its income or capital gains.

Celestial U.S. is subject to U.S. federal income tax at rate of 34% and state income tax at rate of 8%.

Prior to January 1, 2008, Celestial Beijing, a then recognized advanced and new technology enterprise located in the Beijing New Hi-Tech Industry Development and Experimental Zone, was entitled to both a preferential income tax rate of 15% and a tax holiday of 3-year full exemption followed by 3-year 50% exemption reduction in income tax rate (“3+3 tax holiday”). The 3+3 tax holiday started in 2005 and accordingly, Celestial Beijing was exempt from income tax from 2005 to 2007.

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress passed the new Enterprise Income Tax law (the “new EIT law”), which was effective as of January 1, 2008. Under the new EIT law, the statutory tax rate is 25%, however entities that qualify as “Advanced and New Technology Enterprise” (“ANTE”) are entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 15%. In addition, based on a tax notice issued by the State Council on December 26, 2007, the 3+3 tax holiday was grandfathered until its expiry provided an entity remained as an ANTE under the new EIT law during the grandfathering period. Celestial Beijing had not been recognized as an ANTE as of March 31, 2009 and therefore Celestial Beijing was subject to PRC statutory income tax at 25% for the calendar year 2008.

In late 2009, Celestial Beijing was granted the ANTE certificate that is valid for a three-year period effective retroactively from January 1, 2009. Accordingly, Celestial Beijing is subject to PRC income tax at 7.5% for the calendar years 2009 and 2010, 15% for calendar year 2011 and 25% for calendar years 2012 onwards, respectively.

The new EIT law and its relevant regulations also impose a withholding income tax at 10%, unless reduced by a tax treaty, for dividends distributed by a PRC-resident enterprise to its immediate holding company outside the PRC for earnings accumulated beginning on January 1, 2008. Undistributed earnings generated prior to January 1, 2008 are exempt from such withholding income tax.

In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of the end of each years and period presented, the deferred income tax assets were all related to Celestial Beijing. Based upon Celestial Beijing’s level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that Celestial Beijing will realize the benefits of these deductible temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

As of April 1, 2008 and for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2010 and for the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, the Company did not have any material unrecognized tax benefits and thus, no interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were recorded. In addition, the Company does not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months.

According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or the withholding agent. The statute of limitations is extended to five years under special circumstances where the underpayment of taxes is more than RMB100,000. In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is 10 years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion. The income tax returns of Celestial Beijing for the period from its date of inception to December 31, 2010 are open to examination by the PRC state and local tax authorities.

Celestial Cayman was established with authorized share capital of USD135,000, or 135,000,000 ordinary shares (USD0.001 par value). On September 27, 2009, the shareholders of the Company approved to increase the number of ordinary shares from 135,000,000 shares to 300,000,000 shares. On October 20, 2010, the shareholders of the Company approved a further increase to 400,000,000 shares.

(b)

Series A Preferred Shares

On November 5, 2004, pursuant to the Series A preferred share subscription agreements (“Series A Purchase Agreement”), Celestial Cayman issued 10,000,000 Series A convertible preferred shares (“Series A Preferred Shares”) to ComVentures V, L.P. and its affiliates (collectively “ComVentures”), and Pacven Walden Ventures V, L.P. and its affiliates (collectively “Paven Walden Ventures”) for an aggregate purchase price of USD5,500,000 or USD 0.55 per share (“Series A Original Issuance Price”).

Under the Series A Purchase Agreement, the Series A Preferred Shares investors were also issued options to purchase additional Series A Preferred Shares up to USD5,500,000 at an exercise price equal to the Series A Original Issuance Price. The Series A Preferred Shares investors exercised the options and purchased 10,000,000 Series A Preferred Shares on November 30, 2005.

On February 4, 2008 and May 31, 2008, Celestial Cayman issued convertible promissory notes of USD 1,000,000 and USD237,000, respectively to Series A preferred shareholders. The maturity date of the convertible notes is December 28, 2008. The holder of the convertible notes has the option to convert the notes into Series A Preferred Shares at USD0.55 per share, as adjusted according to the conversion price adjustments as defined in the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association. On September 4, 2008, the convertible notes of USD1,237,000 and related accrued interest of USD45,210 were converted to 2,574,375 Series A preferred shares, which was a closing condition for issuance of Series A-1 preferred shares pursuant to Series A-1 Preferred Shares Purchase Agreement. See 10 (c).

The significant terms of the Series A Preferred Shares are as follows:

Conversion

The holders of Series A Preferred Shares have the right to convert all or any portion of their holdings into ordinary shares of Celestial Cayman at a conversion price equal to the Series A Original Issuance Price, subject to a contingent conversion price adjustment if there are additional common shares issued or deemed to be issued, as defined in the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, at a price lower than the Series A Original Issuance Price (“Conversion Price Adjustment”). The contingent conversion price adjustment, if any, is determined with reference to the difference between the Series A Original Issuance Price and the issue price of the additional ordinary shares issued or deemed to be issued. The contingent conversion price adjustment may provide the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares with a beneficial conversion feature; however, any such beneficial conversion feature relating to the conversion price adjustment, if any, will only be recognized when the contingency is resolved. In addition, each Series A Preferred Share will automatically be converted into ordinary shares upon vote or written consent of the holders of more than two-thirds of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Shares or the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, as defined in the Series A Purchase Agreement.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Voting Rights

The holders of the Series A Preferred Shares have voting rights equivalent to the ordinary shareholders on an “if-converted” basis.

Liquidation Preference

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Celestial Cayman, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the preferred shares shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of Celestial Cayman to the holders of the ordinary shares by reason of their ownership of such shares, an amount per share for each share of preferred shares held by them equal to the sum of: (i) three times the original issue price of Series A Preferred Shares and (ii) all declared but unpaid dividends (if any) on such Series A Preferred Shares.

The remaining assets of the Company, if any, shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of ordinary shares and preferred shares then outstanding, based on the number of ordinary shares then held by each shareholder on an “if-converted” basis.

Drag-along rights

Prior to the closing of a Qualified Public Offering, Series A preferred share holders have a drag-along right whereby provided the Company’s board of directors and holders of two thirds of the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares vote in favor of a third-party offer to directly or indirectly purchase all, or substantially all, of the equity interests or assets of the Company, all other equity holders are required to vote in favor, or consent to such transaction. Triggering of this drag-along right results in a deemed liquidation of the Company with a required distribution of the transaction proceeds in accordance with the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association. Consequently, the Series A preferred shares are classified outside of permanent equity. Accretion to the liquidation value is recognized when the exercise of the drag-along rights is considered probable.

The Company has determined that there was no embedded beneficial conversion feature attributable to the Series A Preferred Shares at the commitment date since the initial conversion price of the Series A Preferred Shares was greater than the estimated fair value of the Company’s ordinary shares as of the respective commitment date. The estimated fair value of the underlying ordinary shares was determined by management based on a retrospective valuation performed by American Appraisal China Limited (“American Appraisal”), an independent third-party valuation firm, using the income approach, which requires the estimation of future cash flows, and the application of an appropriate discount rate with reference to comparable listed companies engaged in a similar industry to convert such future cash flows to a single present value.

The Shareholders of the Company approved to cancel all of the authorized 25,000,000 Series A preferred shares on September 4, 2008, on which date all outstanding Series A preferred shares were converted to ordinary shares at a conversion ratio of 1:1, which was a closing condition for issuance of Series A-1 preferred shares pursuant to Series A-1 Preferred Shares Purchase Agreement. See 10 (c). The Series A preferred shareholders waived their Conversion Price Adjustment rights to allow the Company to issue Series A-1 Preferred Shares.

(c)

Series A-1 Preferred Shares

On September 4, 2008, the shareholders of Celestial Cayman approved the authorization of the issuance of up to 80,000,000 Series A-1 preferred shares. The authorized number of Series A-1 preferred shares was increased from 80,000,000 to 200,000,000 pursuant to a resolution passed by the shareholders of Celestial Cayman on September 27, 2009. The authorized number of Series A-1 preferred shares was further increased to 250,000,000 pursuant to a Shareholders’ resolution on October 20, 2010.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the preferred shares shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the ordinary shares by reason of their ownership of such shares, an amount per share for each share of preferred shares held by them equal to the sum of : (i) three times the original issue price of Series A-1 Preferred Shares and (ii) all declared but unpaid dividends (if any) on such Series A-1 Preferred Shares.

Pursuant to the agreement, Celestial Cayman has an option to make Infotech convert all its equity interest in Celestial Beijing to Infotech Shares beginning on the earlier of the date that Celestial Cayman’s Board of Directors intends to prepare for i) an IPO or ii) a change in control, and ending on the third anniversary of the earlier of the consummation of such IPO or change in control. If Infotech cannot obtain the requisite PRC governmental approvals in order to consummate the transaction, Celestial Cayman shall purchase from Infotech all its equity interest in Celestial Beijing for an amount determined as follows:

If the call option is exercised in connection with a change in control, the consideration shall be equal to an amount that Infotech would have received if, immediately prior to and in connection with such change in control, Infotech held the Infotech Shares;

If the call option is exercised on or prior to an IPO and not in connection with a change in control, the consideration shall be the Purchase Price, plus accrued interest from the date of Infotech’s investment in Celestial Beijing at 8% per annum;

If the call option is exercised after an IPO, the consideration shall be at fair value at such date times the number of Infotech Shares.

On September 4, 2008, Infotech agreed to amend its conversion right of converting 3,401,100 Series A Preferred Shares of Celestial Cayman to 3,401,100 ordinary shares of Celestial Cayman.

Estimated fair value of underlying ordinary shares at grant date		USD0.003			USD0.004			USD0.004			USD0.006

For options granted, the expected volatility was based on historical volatilities of comparable publicly traded semiconductor companies operating in the United States because Celestial Cayman did not have a trading history at the time the options were granted.

The estimated fair value of ordinary shares of Celestial Cayman was determined by management based on valuations of Celestial Cayman’s ordinary shares that were conducted by American Appraisal, supplemented by management’s estimate of forecasted profitability and cash flows of the Company.
