For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. It is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and notes thereto. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The condensed 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) Foreign Currency Translation

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

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.

(b) Foreign Currency Translation – continued

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.

(c) 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.

(d) Accounts receivable

The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of each customer before accepting them and continuously monitors their recoverability. If there are any indicators that the customer may not make payment, then we may consider making provision for impairment for that particular customer. At the same time, we may cease further sales or services to such customer. The following are some of the factors that we will consider in determining whether to discontinue sales or revenue recognition:

  • the customer fails to comply with its payment schedule;
  • the customer is in serious financial difficulty;
  • a significant dispute with the customer has occurred regarding job progress or other matters;
  • the customer breaches any of the contractual obligations;
  • the customer appears to be financially distressed difficulties due to economic or legal factors;
  • the business between the customer and the Company is not active; and
  • other objective evidences which indicate the impairment of the accounts receivables.

We will consider the following factors when determining whether to permit a longer payment period or provide other concessions to customers:

  • the customer’s past payment history;
  • the customer’s general risk profile, including factors such as the customer’s size, age, and public or private status;
  • macroeconomic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay;
  • and the relative importance of the customer relationship to our business.

(e) 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. During the period, the Company did not repurchase shares of common stock.

(f) Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Accounting Standards Updates 2011-08)

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 provides an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is not required. ASU 2011-08 is effective for fiscal year 2013. Early adoption is permitted, however we have not yet adopted it. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-08 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common stock 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:

4. 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 fair values for all periods presented due to their short-term maturities. The carrying amount of debt approximates fair value because of its variable interest rate. 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

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; and
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).

As of December 31, 2010, the contingent consideration of the Company’s acquisition of Huipu was measured at fair values using level 3 inputs.

5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

The Company is the primary beneficiary of iASPEC , pursuant to the Management Service Agreement (“ 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 the opinion of management, (i) the ownership structure of the Company, and the VIEs are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations; (ii) the contractual arrangements with the VIEs and its shareholder are valid and binding, and will not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect; and (iii) the Company’s business operations are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations in all material respects.

However, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws and regulations. Accordingly, the Company cannot be assured that PRC regulatory authorities will not ultimately take a contrary view to its opinion. If the current ownership structure of the Company and its contractual arrangements with VIEs are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws and regulations, the Company may be required to restructure its ownership structure and operations in the PRC to comply with the changing and new PRC laws and regulations. In the opinion of management, the likelihood of loss in respect of the Company’s current ownership structure or the contractual arrangements with VIEs is remote based on current facts and circumstances.

In order to facilitate iASPEC’s expansion and also to provide financing for iASPEC to complete the acquisition of Geo, 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 three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, net loss of $32,759 (net income of $28,172 from iASPEC and loss of $60,931 from Geo), loss of $139,080 (net income of $263,690 from iASPEC and loss of $402,770 from Geo), respectively, was attributable to non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of income of the Company.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, net loss of $434,703 (net income of $347,787 from iASPEC and loss of $782,490 from Geo), net income of $273,850 (net income of $682,909 from iASPEC and loss of $409,059 from Geo), respectively, was attributable to non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of income of the Company.

At September 30, 2011, the consolidation of iASPEC and Geo, resulted in an increase in assets of approximately $89.42 million, an increase in liabilities (consisting primarily of accounts payable and short-term bank loans) of approximately $30.86 million, and an increase in non-controlling interest of approximately $18.31 million, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 the consolidation resulted in an increase in net income attributable to parent company of approximately $6.61 million and $12.98 million, respectively.

6. RELATED PARTY BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

Due from related companies, current portion

Approximately 8% of Xiamen Yili Geo Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“ Yili ”) is owned by Geo. The balance consists of accounts receivable from sales.

Shenzhen Kewen Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“ Kewen ”) is a private company owned by a member of the senior management of Zhongtian . The balance due from Kewen primarily consists of accounts receivable from sales.

Due to related companies

Approximately 9% of Wuhan Geo Navigation and Communication Technology Co., Ltd. (“Geo Navigation”) is owned by Geo. The balance due to Geo Navigation represents advances from Geo Navigation to Geo. These advances are non-interest bearing and due on demand.

Due to related parties, long-term portion

The balance due to shareholder represents the personal loans from Mr. Jianghuai Lin, the CEO of the Company, to the Company.

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 (“the Original 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 Original Note).

On March 25, 2010, Mr. Lin surrendered the Original Note to the Company and asked the Company to void and rescind the Original Note and issue a replacement note (the “New Note”), in the principal amount of $6,000,000, to reflect the principal amount of the Original Note as well as an additional loan of $1,000,000 made to the Company on March 25, 2010. The New Note omits the conversion feature that was contained in the Original Note and it is non-interest bearing. The maturity date of the New Note is March 5, 2012 and the Company may prepay all or any part of the amounts outstanding under this Note at any time before the maturity date without the express written consent of Mr. Lin. On April 7, 2010, the Company repaid the additional loan of $1,000,000 included in the New Note.

On August 16, 2011, the Company and Mr. Lin agreed to an amended and restated promissory note (the “Amended and Restated Note”) that was issued by the Company to Mr. Lin on March 25, 2010. Under the New Note, the loan was not permitted to be repaid by conversion of the loan balance into shares of common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Note, the loan balance may be repaid by conversion of the balance into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $2.70 per share. On August 16, 2011, Mr. Lin exercised this conversion right, and therefore has agreed to receive a total of 1,851,852 shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of cash repayment under the Amended and Restated Note.

13. RESERVE AND DISTRIBUTION OF PROFIT

In accordance with relevant PRC regulations and the Articles of Association of our PRC subsidiaries, our PRC subsidiaries are required to allocate at least 10% of their annual after-tax profits determined in accordance with PRC statutory financial statements to a statutory general reserve fund until the amounts in said fund reaches 50% of their registered capital. As of September 30, 2011, the balance of general reserve is $12.97 million.

Under applicable PRC regulations, the Company may pay dividends only out of the accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. As the statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes under PRC laws and regulations, the general reserves are not distributable as cash dividends.

Our after-tax profits or losses with respect to the payment of dividends out of accumulated profits and the annual appropriation of after-tax profits as calculated pursuant to PRC accounting standards and regulations do not result in significant differences as compared to after-tax earnings as presented in our financial statements. However, there are certain differences between PRC accounting standards and regulations and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, arising from different treatment of items such as amortization of intangible assets and change in fair value of contingent consideration arising from business combinations.

iASPEC , Bocom , Zhongtian , and HPC lease offices, employee dormitories and factory space in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Beijing and Dongguan in the PRC, under lease agreements that will expire on various dates through March 2013. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the rent expenses were approximately $ 126,097 and $84,700, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the rent expenses were approximately $ 360,891 and $300,900, respectively.

Future minimum lease payments under these lease agreements are as follows:

Remainder of 2011 $  118,137  
2012   349,348  
2013   153,402  
Total $  620,887  

On July 9, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with the municipal government of Dongguan City, to purchase a land use right for a land of 101,764 square meters at a consideration of approximately $24.04 million (RMB 153.6 million) to be paid in cash in installments . As of September 30, 2011, the Company paid deposits of approximately $18.77 million (RMB 119.96 million). The Company will pay the remaining contracted amount within year 2011.

17. CONCENTRATIONS

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and generally does not require collateral. As a result, management performs ongoing credit evaluations, and the Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based upon its loss history and its aging analysis. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the allowance of doubtful accounts were $6,692,000 and $6,073,000, respectively, which is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable.

Management reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts each reporting period based on a detailed analysis of accounts receivable. In the analysis, management primarily considers the age of the customer's receivable and also considers the creditworthiness of the customer, the economic conditions of the customer's industry, and general economic conditions and trends, among other factors. If any of these factors change, the Company may also change its original estimates, which could impact the level of the Company's future allowance for doubtful accounts. If judgments regarding the collectability of accounts receivables were incorrect, adjustments to the allowance may be required, which would reduce profitability.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no customer accounted for greater than 10% of third-party revenue.

At September 30, 2011, accounts receivables were due from 350 customers. Of these, no customer accounted for over 10% of the total accounts receivable. At September 30, 2010, accounts receivables were due from 282 customers and no customer accounted for over 10% of the total accounts receivable.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On September 16, 2011, the Company issued a press release about the $5 million shares repurchase program. The amount, timing and extent of any repurchases will depend on market conditions, the trading price of its common stock and other factors and will be subject to restrictions relating to volume, price and timing under applicable law, including Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company expects to implement this share repurchase program over the next 12 months, in a manner consistent with market conditions and the interest of shareholders. Repurchases may be in open-market transactions or through privately negotiated transactions, and the repurchase program may be expanded by the Board of Directors in the future. The repurchases will be funded with available cash on hand. Any shares of common stock repurchased under the program will be returned to treasury. On November 9, 2011, total 72,209 of the Company’s common stock were repurchased in accordance with the program.

Revenue. Our revenue is generated from the sales of our software and hardware products, our fully integrated total solutions, and the related after-sales services. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, our revenue was $28.46 million, compared to $43.81 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $15.34 million, or 35.03% . The decrease was primarily due to the Chinese government’s implementation of monetary tightening policies, which led to a slow-down in projects for our government customers, which generated over half of our revenues during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Product sales increased by $0.4 million, or 3.16%, to $13.04 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $12.64 million in the same period of 2010. Product sales constituted 45.82% of total revenue during the three-month period ended September 30, 2011, as compared with 28.86% during the same period ended September 30, 2010. The increase mainly reflected our efforts to grow our DT segment to meet market demand from non-government sectors.

Software sales decreased by $22.62 million, or 76.75%, to $6.85 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $29.47 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Software sales constituted 24.08% of our total revenue, which decreased from 67.28% during the same period in the prior year. The decrease was mainly due to the Chinese government’s implementation of monetary tightening policies, which led to a slow-down in software projects for our government customers.

Sales of system integration services increased by $6.79 million, or 503.43%, to $8.13 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $1.35 million for the same period of 2010. As a percentage of revenue, system integration sales increased from 3.08% during the three months ended September 30, 2010 to 28.58% during the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was mainly the result of an increase in demand for system integration solutions in connection with the Shenzhen Summer Universiade , which was held in August 2011, and new integration projects we secured during the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, including a $2.4 million system integration contract for the Shenzhen Police TETRA system.

Other revenue increased by $0.09 million, or 27.25%, from $0.34 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $0.43 million in the same period of 2011. Other revenue was derived from maintenance services during the current period while during the three months ended September 30, 2010, we also generated royalty income.

IT Segment $  15,766,275     55.39%   $  9,214,322     41.56%   $  34,853,839     79.56%   $  15,798,605     54.67%  
DT Segment   12,696,296     44.61%     9,762,901     23.10%     8,952,292     20.44%     6,921,933     22.68%  
Total $   28,462,571     100.00%   $  18,977,223     33.33%   $  43,806,131     100.00%   $  22,720,538     48.13%  

The revenue increase of our DT segment and the decline in revenue from our IT segment reflect two initiatives we are taking in fiscal year 2011. The first initiative is to grow our DT segment in response to increased demand from the broader market for more specialized solutions. The second initiative is to be more selective with our acceptance of orders in an effort to improve the quality of our earnings.

Cost of revenue and gross profit . Our cost of revenues decreased by $3.74 million, or 16.48%, to $18.98 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared with $22.72 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. As a percentage of revenues, our cost of revenue increased to 66.67% during the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 51.87% in the same period of 2010. As a result, gross margin was 33.33% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of 1,480 basis points from 48.13% in the same period of 2010.

The overall decrease in gross profit margins, as displayed in the above tables, resulted from several factors. First, during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we continued to grow our DT solutions, and the percentage of revenue increased from 20.44% during the three months ended September 30, 2010 to 44.61% during the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in contribution from DT revenues resulted in a decrease in gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as our DT solutions business has lower average gross margins than other segments of our business. Second, due to the Chinese government’s implementation of monetary tightening policies, our government customers reduced software project orders. As a result, the percentage of software revenue decreased from 67.28% during the three months ended September 30, 2010 to 24.08% during the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in contribution from software revenues resulted in a decrease in gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2011as on average, software projects have higher average gross margins than other segments of our business. Third, the gross profit margin for our system integration business decreased from 53.91% during the three months ended September 30, 2010 to 26.44% in the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to the high profit margin of certain projects in the 2010 period. However, as the Company is more selective with our acceptance of orders in an effort to improve the quality of our earnings, the gross margin for product and software sales increased during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

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. Our administrative expenses decreased by $0.27 million, or 4.91%, to $5.18 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $5.45 million in the same period of 2010. Notable changes that resulted in the decrease of administrative expenses were as follows: First, we did not grant any shares to employees during the three months ended September 30, 201, whereas we granted 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as compensation to employees during the three months ended September 30, 2010. The fair value based on the quoted market price was approximately $1.3 million. Second, we recognized an increase in impairment of a long-term investment of $0.74 million compared with impairment recognized during the third fiscal quarter of 2010. These changes were offset by an increase of provisions for accounts receivables and inventories of $0.94 million and $0.64 million, respectively, from the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 to the same period of 2011.

- 28 -


Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, as well as costs associated with new software and hardware development and enhancement. Research and development expenses increased by $0.17 million, or 17.99%, to $1.11 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $0.94 million in the same period of 2010. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses accounted for approximately 3.89% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with 2.14% of total revenue for the same period in 2010. Such increase was primarily due to efforts to improve the profitability of existing products as well as development of new products.

Selling expenses. Selling expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our sales and marketing staff, sales and after-sales traveling costs, and other sales-related costs. Our selling expenses increased $0.13 million, or 7.91%, to $1.83 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $1.70 million in the corresponding period of 2010. This increase was due to our increasingly nationwide market expansion, which requires increased travel and telecommunication expenses as well as increased total compensation to sales and marketing staff.

Subsidy income. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, in connection with research and development activities in a designated locale, we received approximately $475,026 and $6,521, respectively, as a subsidy from the local governmental agency in China.

Other loss, net. Other loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011 mainly represented the loss from recognizing a loss of approximately $0.16 million for settlement of a pending lawsuit during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $0.01 million, as compared with $2.36 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease was largely attributable to two factors. First, income tax expense decreased approximately $1.89 million due to the decrease of income before taxes arose from PRC subsidiaries of $12.61 million during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010. Second, our subsidiary ISS obtained the High Technology Enterprise designation during the second quarter of 2011 and was approved to enjoy the EIT rate at 15%, therefore, the EIT tax rate of ISS was reduced from 22% to 15% in the period ended September 30, 2011, which lowered our income tax expense by approximately $0.16 million during that period as compared with the same period of 2010.

Non-controlling interest. Non-controlling interest generated net loss of $0.03 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. During July 2011, we transferred 100% of the equity interests of Zhongtian , a subsidiary of the Company, from our subsidiary Kwong Tai International Technology Limited (“ Kwong Tai”), to iASPEC . The Company consolidated the operation results of Zhongtian for three months ended September 30, 2011 into iASPEC . This non-controlling interest represents $0.03 million fee retained by iASPEC under the MSA , and $0.06 million from Geo’s loss due to its 47.46% non-controlling interest.

Net income attributable to the Company . As a result of the factors described above, net income decreased $9.68 million, or 91.25%, to $0.93 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $10.61 million for the same period in 2010.

Product sales increased by $5.7 million, or 21.54%, to $32.16 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $26.46 million in the same period of 2010. Product sales constituted 38.61% of total revenue during the current period as compared with 25.78% during the same period in the prior year. The increase of product sales business reflected our efforts to grow our DT segment.

Software sales decreased by $37.06 million, or 55.26%, to $30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $67.06 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Software sales constituted 36.01% of our total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with 65.34% during the same period in the prior year. The decrease was mainly due to the Chinese government’s implementation of monetary tightening policies, which led to a slow-down in software projects for our government customers .

Sales of system integration services increased by $12.57 million, or 165.05%, to $20.19 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $7.62 million for the same period of 2010. As a percentage of revenue, it increased from 7.42% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 24.24% during the current period. Such growth primarily resulted from an increase in demand for system integration solutions in connection with the Shenzhen Summer Universiade, which was held in August 2011, and other new secured projects during the current year.

Other revenue decreased from $1.49 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $0.95 million in the same period of 2011, a decrease of $0.54 million, or 36.41%. Other revenue mainly derived from maintenance services in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, while in the same period of 2010, in addition to maintenance services, we also generated $0.55 million in royalty income from Huipu by licensing other manufacturers to use the HPC trademark.

Cost of revenue and gross profit. As indicated in the above tables, our cost of revenues decreased $5.39 million, or 10.05%, to $48.24 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $53.63 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. As a percentage of revenues, our cost of revenue increased to 57.91% during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from 52.25% in the same period of 2010. As a result, gross margin was 42.09% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of 5.66% from 47.75% in the same period of 2010.

The decrease in gross profit margins, as displayed in the tables above, resulted from our efforts in continuing to grow our DT solutions during the current period. The percentage of DT revenue increased from 20.43% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 38.13% during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in contribution from DT revenues resulted in a decrease in gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Administrative expenses. Our administrative expenses increased by about $0.22 million, or 2.04%, to $11.06 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $10.84 million in the same period of 2010. Notable changes that resulted in increased administrative expenses were: First, impairment of a long term investment increased by $0.15 million between the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Second, provisions of accounts receivables and inventory increased by $0.15 million and $0.49 million, respectively, between the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Third, depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $0.24 million between the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Fourth, miscellaneous daily operation expenses, such as building rental expense, due to inflation in China, increased by $0.39 million between the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. These changes were offset by the decrease of share based compensation expenses to employees of $1.3 million between the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $0.92 million, or 44.61% to $2.99 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $2.07 million in the same period of 2010. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses accounted for approximately 3.59% of the total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with 2.01% of total revenue for the same period in 2010. Such an increase was primarily a result of our efforts in improving product profitability and developing new products.

Selling expenses . Our selling expenses increased $0.87 million, or 19.75%, to $5.27 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $4.40 million in the corresponding period of 2010. The increase in selling expenses reflects our heightened efforts in national market expansion.

Subsidy income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, in connection with research and development activities in a designated locale, we received approximately $592,530 and $438,201, respectively, as a subsidy from the local governmental agency in China.

Other income, net. Other income, net of $1.48 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was primarily due to the fair value change for contingent shares paid towards the HPC acquisition. The approximate gain of $1.48 million resulted from a decrease of fair value of the liability associated with issuing contingent consideration that was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Because our stock price declined during the period, the contingent liability, which is based on our stock price, also decreased in fair value. This decrease in contingent liability served to increase our income.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $1.33 million, a decrease from $5.70 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease was largely due to the following factors: a) income before taxes arose from PRC subsidiaries decreased $18.97 million, causing approximately $2.85 million of the decrease; b) our subsidiary ISS obtained the High Technology Enterprise designation during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and was approved to enjoy the EIT rate at 15% with retroactive effect from fiscal year 2010, causing approximately $0.5 million of the decrease from the reversal of accrued income tax for 2010; c) the income before tax of our subsidiary Huipu increased approximately $1.62 million as compared with the same period of last year, as there is unused carry-forward tax loss, causing approximately $0.24 million income tax expense decrease during the current period.

- 31 -


Non-controlling interest. Non-controlling interest of a net loss of $0.43 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 represents the $0.35 million fee retained by iASPEC under the MSA , and $0.78 million of Geo’s losses retained by the 47.46% non-controlling interest in Geo.

Net income attributable to the Company . As a result of the factors described above, net income decreased $11.49 million, or 43.79%, to $14.75 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $26.24 million for the same period in 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $5.18 million.

Our customers have historically been primarily 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, surveying, mapping, and healthcare management. Over the past several years, especially during 2011 and 2010, we diversified our customer base beyond our historical geographic reach and expanded our market and product offerings in the public and private sectors, through geographic expansion and enhancement of our technical capabilities. Along with our expansion in the market, our customer base of accounts receivable increased from 234 as of December 31, 2009, to 289 as of December 31, 2010, and to 350 as of September 30, 2011.

Due to the Chinese government’s implementation of monetary tightening policies since the second quarter of 2011, government customers have slowed their payment of our accounts receivables. Historically, government customers generated over half of our revenues. As a result, the percentage of total accounts receivable attributable to government customers increased to 82% as of September 30, 2011 from 77% as of December 31, 2010.

As the increase in our customer base and sales were primarily a result of an increase in non-public sector customers, the risk of recoverability increased compared with previous periods. Additionally, although we have had no significant experience of failure of collection of accounts receivables by government customers, the recent slowdown in payments described above has caused us to view these customers’ risk of recoverability as having increased. In this regard, we further noted that turnover days of accounts receivables increased. The accounts receivables that were outstanding for longer than one year accounted for 41% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2011 and 6% as of December 31, 2010, and government customers accounted for 91% of all receivables outstanding for longer than 1 year as of September 30, 2011 compared to 57% as of December 31, 2010.

We generally do not consider receivables from government customers to be past due at any particular point in time primarily for the following reasons: PRC government entities are very safe customers in that they are generally well-established and able to access credit more easily than private-sector customers. We have generally had good collection histories with these customers. The recent credit tightening policies has affected government customers relatively equally, and we therefore believe that the resulting slowdown in payments from such customers is outside their immediate control. We also view government customers as important to our business. As a result, we have continued sales relationships with most PRC government customers and extended flexible repayment terms to them, including with respect to those that have slowed payments to us.

With respect to private-sector customers, we generally provide for a payment period of 90 days. Typically we are willing to extend the payment period to up to 120 days. For payment extensions beyond this time, we typically evaluate private-sector customers based on the criteria described in Note 2(d) of the financial statements contained in this report. Due to their differing credit histories and period of operations, as described above, we consider the risk of recoverability for these customers to be higher than public-sector customers. However, we have generally been willing to continue the sales relationship with these customers and allow for additional time for them to make payments upon receipt of assurances that payment will be received as soon as practicable, in light of our aim to diversify our customer base and expand our market penetration. All accounts receivables with aging over 2 years with non-government customers were fully provided.

Management performs ongoing credit evaluations, and the Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based upon its loss history and its aging analysis. The Company estimated that the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable was equal to the allowance for doubtful accounts of $6.69 million at September 30, 2011 and $6.07 million at December 31, 2010. The following table describes the movement of allowance for doubtful accounts during the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

Balance at January 1, 2011 $  6,072,644  
Increase in allowance for doubtful accounts   3,137,251  
Amounts recovered during current period   (2,205,330 )
Reversal of allowance for doubtful accounts   (511,631 )

Cash and cash equivalents at end of the period $  5,179,223   $  18,001,834  

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.22 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease from $18.87 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the same period of 2010. The decrease was primarily due to an increase of our accounts receivables turnover days during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Many government customers slowed down their payments as a result of China’s implementation of monetary tightening policies. Because over half of our total revenues are generated from government projects, accounts receivable turnover days increased from 215 days during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 330 days during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $14.41 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $47.64 million net cash used in investing activities for the same period of 2010. The decrease was primarily due to: a) the Company paid approximately $17.27 million deposit for purchasing land use right during the nine months ended September 30, 2010; b) the Company decreased approximately $10.17 million software purchase during the nine months ended September 2011 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2010; and c) the Company used approximately $5 million to complete the construction of the plant acquired in the Huipu transaction during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $5.89 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $32.52 million net cash provided by financing activities during the same period of 2010. The change was mainly attributable to the net proceeds of $9.38 million raised from an offering of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and a decrease in net borrowings of $29.24 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared with the same period of last year.

Loan Facilities            
As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our short-term loan facilities were as follows:        
(a) Short-term bank loans            
(All amounts in U.S. dollars)    
    September 30, 2011     December 31, 2010

(b) Long-term bank loans            
             
(All amounts in U.S. dollars)    
    September 30, 2011     December 31, 2010  
Secured long-term loans $  5,693,547   $  8,138,705

Total long-term bank loans $  118,036   $  5,863,205  

The covenants or financial restrictions related to our outstanding debt obligations as of September 30, 2011 related to Huipu are as follows:

  • Huipu should maintain a certain level of tangible assets;

  • Huipu should inform the bank 30 days before any of the following events occurs; if the bank determines that such event will cause a material impact to the bank loan, Huipi may perform the event only upon receipt of the approval of the bank:

  • dispose material assets constituting over 10% of the total net assets by sale, bestowment, lending, transfer, mortgage, pledge or any other means;

  • profit distribution over 30% of the current year’s after tax profits, or over 20% of the total retained earnings; and

  • new investments by Huipu outside its current operations which constitute over 20% of its net assets.

As of September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with the above covenants.

Our short-term loan balances as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $35.6 million and $35.33 million, respectively. As a percentage of working capital, short-term bank loans accounted for approximately 52.95% and 60.06% as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The net result reflects management’s effort to reduce our reliance on bank borrowings as a source of working capital.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including our cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. We may, however, require additional cash due to changing business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our existing cash and amount available under existing credit facilities is insufficient to meet our requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity securities, debt securities or borrow from lending institutions. We can make no assurances that financing will be available in the amounts we need or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The sale of additional equity securities, including convertible debt securities, would dilute the interests of our current shareholders. The incurrence of debt would divert cash for working capital and capital expenditures to service debt obligations and could result in operating and financial covenants that restrict our operations and our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional equity or debt financing as required, our business operations and prospects may suffer.

Intracompany Transfers

Our subsidiaries that are organized in the PRC may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits and our PRC subsidiaries are required to set aside at least 10% of their after-tax profit to their general reserves until such reserves cumulatively reach 50% of their respective registered capital. Our PRC subsidiaries’ general reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Restrictions on our net assets include the conversion of local currency into foreign currencies, tax withholding obligations on dividend distributions, the need to obtain State Administration for Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, approval for loans to a non-PRC consolidated entity and the covenants or financial restrictions related to outstanding debt obligations. We are not aware of other restrictions on our net assets or the transferability of assets via loans or advances to our non-PRC consolidated entities. As our operations are principally based in China, our non-PRC consolidated entities do not have material cash obligations.

An offshore holding company, as a shareholder of a foreign-invested enterprise, or FIE, can make loans to the FIE, provided the parties comply with PRC regulations governing such loans. Our parent company can make a shareholder loan to a PRC subsidiary provided that (i) the amount of the loan does not exceed the difference between the total investment and registered capital as approved by the local Administration for Industry and Commerce that issued the business license of the subsidiary; and (ii) before the loan can be converted into RMB, the subsidiary reports to SAFE the intended use of proceeds (which cannot be to purchase domestic assets). The subsidiary can finance the operations of iASPEC in accordance with the terms of the MSA.

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

In accordance with FASB ASC topic 350, we reviewed goodwill impairment annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value below its carrying value. Due to the Chinese government’s implementation of monetary tightening policy, our revenue decreased significantly, especially software technology sales during the three months ended September 30, 2011. Although we do not consider the slowdown of our growth gives rise to a significant adverse change in our business, to be prudent, we performed the goodwill impairment test for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011.

We used the Discounted Cash Flow Method to estimate the fair value of goodwill. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions, such as revenue growth rate, gross profit rate, and discount rate. The average net income increase rate used in the cash flow models approximately ranged from 5% to 9% depending on the reporting unit over the initial five-year forecast period. The discount rate used in the cash flow models was approximately 12%, which was calculated by weighted average cost of capital.

Based on the above calculation of our cash flow models, the test results indicated that all of the fair value of each reporting units exceeding their carrying values. The percentage of the excess of DT segment and IT segment was 14% and 50%, respectively. We believed that the reporting unit for DT segment which the fair value exceeded carrying value by only approximately 14% is at risk of failing step one of the goodwill impairment test in the future. The Company put more effort in developing the display technology business, and the contribution from DT segment has been increased during the current period. Though the management has the confidence in the developing of our DT segment in the future, we intend to closely monitor any event or change in circumstances that could negatively affect the key assumptions relating to this reporting unit.

Our valuation techniques could yield variable results based on changes in assumptions such as the discount rate and net income increase rate. We performed a sensitivity analysis that indicated that the discount rate ranged from 11% to 14%, the net income increase rate ranged from 4% to 8%, the fair value of each reporting unit still exceeded the carrying value, and that no goodwill impairment was required.

Goodwill by segment as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was as follows:  
    (All amounts in U.S. dollars)  
Goodwill   September 30, 2011     December 31, 2010  
IT Segment $   26,816,149   $  25,941,242  
DT Segment   26,841,420     25,977,033  
    Total $  53,657,569   $   51,918,275  

Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of that foreign operation shall be treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation. Thus they shall be expressed in the functional currency of the foreign operation and shall be translated at the closing rate. As our acquired subsidiaries’ functional currency is RMB, goodwill arising on these acquisitions is denominated in RMB. As our presentation currency is USD, the change of goodwill balance represents the foreign exchange difference between each period or year end.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Please refer to note 2 to our condensed interim consolidated financial statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (f) Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Accounting Standards Updates 2011-08),” for a discussion of relevant pronouncements.

Seasonality of our Sales

The first quarter of the calendar year is typically the slowest season of the year due to the Chinese New Year holiday. During this period, accounts receivable collection is very slow and we also need to prepare for upcoming busier seasons by making payments for inventory.

Inflation

Inflation does not materially affect our business or the results of our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Interest Rate Risk

We deposit surplus funds with Chinese banks earning daily interest. We do not invest in any instruments for trading purposes. Most of our outstanding debt instruments carry fixed rates of interest. Our operations generally are not directly sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. The amount of long-term debt outstanding as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $0.12 million and $5.86 million, respectively. A hypothetical 1.0% increase in the annual interest rates for all of our credit facilities under which we had outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2011 would decrease net income before provision for income taxes by approximately $96,000, or less than 1% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. 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 the U.S. dollar and the 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 $14.04 million based on our outstanding revenues, costs and expenses, assets and liabilities denominated in RMB as of September 30, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, our accumulated other comprehensive income was $18.56 million. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.

The value of RMB 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, RMB 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, RMB may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future, PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in RMB 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 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

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 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 Interim Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Zhi Qiang Zhao, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2011. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, Mr. Lin and Mr. Zhao, determined that, as of September 30, 2011, and as of the date of this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
