Jingwei International Limited and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Stated in US dollars thousands, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
Note 1 CORPORATE INFORMATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Jingwei International Limited (“Jingwei”), its subsidiaries and companies it controls through contractual agreements in the form of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) ,which include Jingwei International Investments Limited (“Jingwei BVI”), Jingwei International Investment (HK) Ltd. (“Jingwei HK”), Jingwei Hengtong Technology (ShenZhen) Co. Ltd (“Jingwei Hengtong”), Shenzhen Jingwei Communication Co., Ltd. (“Jingwei Communication”), New Yulong Information Technology Co. Ltd. (“New Yulong IT”), New Yulong Software Technology Development Co. Ltd. (“New Yulong Software”), Beijing New Media Advertising Co. Ltd. (“Beijing New Media”), Shenzhen Xinguochuang Information Technology Company Limited (“Xinguochuang”), Shanghai Haicom Telecommunication Technology Limited ("Haicom"), and Jiangsu Liandong Communication Ltd. ("Jiangsu Liandong"). Jingwei International Limited, its subsidiaries and VIEs are collectively referred to as the “Company”. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Corporation Information
The Company, formerly known as Neoview Holdings Inc. (“Neoview”), was established in Nevada on November 17, 2004, as a public shell company. On May 16, 2007, Neoview and Synergy Business Consulting LLC, a principal stockholder of Neoview, entered into a share exchange agreement with the stockholders of Jingwei BVI. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, Neoview acquired all of Jingwei BVI’s issued and outstanding shares from Jingwei BVI’s stockholders in exchange for the issuance to Jingwei BVI’s stockholders of 11,554,000 shares of Neoview’s common stock, constituting 86.4% of outstanding common shares of Neoview on a fully-diluted basis.
As a result of this share exchange transaction, Jingwei BVI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Neoview. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), the share exchange transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Jingwei BVI as the accounting acquirer and Neoview as the acquired party.
Immediately following the closing of the merger, Neoview changed its name to Jingwei International Limited (“the Company”), and consummated a private placement of 3,395,000 units on May 16, 2007, each consisting of one (1) share of its common stock and 0.3 of a warrant to purchase one (1) share of its common stock, at a price per unit of $5.00 for for aggregate gross proceeds of $16,975.
Jingwei BVI was incorporated in British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) in May 2006, and is a holding company without any operation.
Jingwei HK, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jingwei BVI, was established on October 31, 2006 in Hong Kong. It is engaged in telecommunication equipment sales, software development and e-commerce.
Jingwei Hengtong, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jingwei HK, was established in People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on February 8, 2007. It is engaged in computer hardware and software development, and business consulting services.
On February 8, 2007, Jingwei Hengtong entered into a series of contractual agreements (“Contractual Agreements”) for a ten-year term with Jingwei Communication, a PRC company established on May 8, 2001 to develop computer software and telecommunication equipments, to operate call centers, as well as to provide internet and mobile value added services. Pursuant to the Contractual Agreements, Jingwei Hengtong has agreed to exclusively provide to Jingwei Communication technology consulting services, and bear all of Jingwei Communication’s operating costs, in exchange for all of its income from the business operations. Jingwei Hengtong has also agreed to guarantee Jingwei Communication’s performance of its obligations under contracts, agreements and transactions between Jingwei Communication and third party customers. In return, Jingwei Communication had pledged its accounts receivables and all of its assets to Jingwei Hengtong. Moreover, the stockholders of Jingwei Communication have also entered into pledge agreements with Jingwei Hengtong, pursuant to which they agreed to pledge all their rights and interests, including voting rights, in favor of Jingwei Hengtong. Jingwei Hengtong was also granted an option to acquire the equity interests of Jingwei Communication within 10 years for a purchase price equal to its shareholders’ original paid-in price or the lowest price permissible under PRC laws. Finally, Jingwei Hentong had made an interest-free loan to Jingwei Communications to fund its capitalization, which can only be repaid upon the shareholders of Jingwei Communication transferring their equity interests to Jingwei Hengtong.
The noncontrolling interest does not change since 100% of all income and losses are allocated to the Company in accordance with the Contractual Agreements. Since there is no dividend distribution to noncontrolling interest, its balance changed between periods according to the exchange rate during that period.
4
Because of the above Contractual Agreements, which assigned all of Jingwei Communication equity owners' rights and obligations to Jingwei Hengtong the equity owners of Jingwei Communication lacked the ability to make decisions that have a significant effect on Jingwei Communication and its subsidiaries’ operations, and Jingwei Hengtong was entitled to the profits from the operation of Jingwei Communication and its subsidiaries, and assumed all of the residual benefits. Because Jingwei Hengtong and its indirect parent, Jingwei International Limited, are the sole interest holders of Jingwei Communication, the Company consolidates Jingwei Communication and its subsidiaries from its inception, consistent with the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810-10.
PRC regulations prohibit direct foreign ownership of entities engaged in certain restricted businesses, including the provision of value-added telecommunications services in the PRC where certain licenses are required for the provision of such services. To comply with PRC laws and regulations, the Company engages in such businesses through contractual commitments with the VIEs, principally Jingwei Communication and the subsidiaries directly or indirectly controlled by Jingwei Communication, included New Yulong IT, New Yulong Software, Jiangsu Liandong, Xinguochuang and Haicom.
New Yulong IT, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jingwei Communication, was established on January 4, 1999 in Shenzhen, China. It mainly conducts mobile value added services, software development and computer information system integration.
New Yulong Software, wholly owned by Jingwei Communication directly and indirectly through New Yulong IT, was established on June 14, 2005 in Shenzhen, China. It is engaged in software development and computer information system integration.
Jiangsu Liandong, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jingwei Communication, was established on December 11, 2009 in Suqian, China. It is engaged in software development and computer information system integration.
Beijing New Media, a wholly owned subsidiary of New Yulong IT, was established on July 23, 2008 in Beijing, China. It is engaged in creating, planning and handling advertising, as well as providing branding strategy and sales promotions for its clients.
Xinguochuang, a wholly owned subsidiary of New Yulong IT, was established on April 29, 2009, in Shenzhen, China. It is engaged in software development, computer information system integration, and domestic and international trade.
On November 9, 2010, Xinguochuang completed the acquisition of 100% equity interest of Haicom, a corporation registered in Shanghai, China that provides internet and mobile value added service platforms to telecommunication operators in more than ten provinces in China.
The Company entered into an Agreement on September 23, 2011 to dispose of its legacy media business in Beijing New Media to Mr. George Du (the "Purchaser"), the CEO, President and Chairman of the Company. Due to the Company's shift in strategic direction, Beijing New Media's business operation has been winding down in the last two years. The Purchaser agreed to acquire 100% of Beijing New Media at a purchase price of $868 in cash, equal to the net book value of Beijing New Media. This business disposal was completed on September 29, 2011.
Description of Business
The Company is one of the leading providers of data mining and interactive marketing and software services in the PRC. The Company's services include market segmentation, customer trend and churn analysis, fraud detection and direct marketing services such as telemarketing, direct mailing and wireless value added services. The Company also operates a software services business, which provides a broad range of billing systems, provisioning solutions, decision support and customer relationship management systems for the leading mobile telecommunication carriers in the PRC.
Note 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a)
|
Basis of presentation and consolidation
|
The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company used the purchase method to consolidate Jingwei Communication, with the current assets and liabilities recorded at fair value which approximated their historic book value on February 8, 2007, the effective date (“effective date”) of the Contractual Agreements. The fair value of the acquired net assets of Jingwei Communication was $6.6 million on the effective date, after eliminating all the intercompany transaction and balances, and was recognized as noncontrolling interest on the consolidated balance sheet. The noncontrolling interest changes only for translation adjustments since 100% of all income and losses are allocated to the Company in accordance with the Contractual Agreements and there are no dividend distributions to noncontrolling interest. The noncontrolling interest amounted to $8.0 million and $7.7 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The change in amount was the result of foreign currency translation adjustment.
5
Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted. The interim consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, previously filed with the SEC.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2011, its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
b)
|
Use of estimates
|
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates based on management's best estimation include, but are not limited to, the valuation of account receivables and other receivables, inventories, the estimation on useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, the valuation of options, and allowance for deferred tax assets.
c)
|
Fair value of financial instruments
|
The carrying values of the Group’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, prepayments and deposits, account payable, accruals and other payables, and loan from a stockholder approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.
d)
|
Business combination
|
For a business combination with acquisition date on or after January 1, 2009, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree were recognized at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. In a business combination achieved in stages, the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, were recognized at the full amounts of their fair values. In a bargain purchase in which the total acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, that excess in earnings was recognized as a gain attributable to the Company.
Deferred tax liability and asset were recognized for the deferred tax consequences of differences between the tax bases and the recognized values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740-10.
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, impairment tests are performed at least annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the best estimate of that loss is recognized in those financial statements.

Recently enacted accounting standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation—Stock Compensation (ACS Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. The ASU codifies the consensus reached in Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 09-J. The amendments to the Codification clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity shares trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity.
The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments are to be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. The adoption does not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2010, FASB issued revised guidance on “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” The revised guidance specifies that an entity with reporting units that have carrying amounts that are zero or negative is required to assess whether it is more likely than not that the reporting units’ goodwill is impaired. If the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the goodwill of one or more of its reporting units is impaired, the entity should perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for those reporting unit(s). Any resulting goodwill impairment should be recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. Any goodwill impairments occurring after the initial adoption of the revised guidance should be included in earnings as required by Section 350-20-35. The revised guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption does not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)—Testing Goodwill for Impairment, to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. ASU No. 2011-08 allows entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If greater than 50 percent likelihood exists that the fair value is less than the carrying amount then a two-step goodwill impairment test as described in Topic 350 must be performed. The guidance provided by this update becomes effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011. The Company does not intend to adopt this ASU No. 2011-08 before September 15, 2011, and does not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In the first nine months of 2011, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued ASU No. 2011-01 through ASU 2011-09, which are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Note 3 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company entered into an Agreement on September 23, 2011 to dispose of its legacy media business in Beijing New Media to Mr. George Du (the "Purchaser"), the CEO, President and Chairman of the Company. Due to the Company's shift in strategic direction, Beijing New Media's business operation has been winding down in the last two years. The Purchaser agreed to acquire 100% of Beijing New Media at a purchase price of $868 in cash, equal to the net book value of Beijing New Media. This acquisition was completed on September 29, 2011.

Note 4 FINAL SETTLEMENTS IN HAICOM ACQUISITION
In connection with the acquisition of Haicom on November 2, 2010, the Company recorded a contingent consideration for the issuance of 667,802 common stocks at a fair value of $2,992, all of which was recorded as Additional Paid-in Capital. Upon the request from a former shareholder of Haicom for early service termination, the Company reviewed Haicom’s operation results since the completion of the acquisition, and entered into final settlements separately on August 31, 2011 and September 5, 2011 with former shareholders of Haicom. The terms include: 1. to remove the performance conditions on 2011 operation results; 2. to replace the contingent share issuance arrangement with a cash installment plan totaling $2,504, which includes the first payment of $1,252 to be made before September 30, 2011, and the second payment of $1,252 to be made before January 31, 2012.
Upon the final settlement, the Company incurred a payment obligation of $2,504 or RMB 16,000 in exchange for elimination of contingent consideration of share issuance. The final settlement was deemed as a repurchase of shares with $2,393 (translated at a historic exchange rate on the closing date) or RMB 16,000 as the repurchase price, thereby reducing Additional Paid-in Capital by the same amount.
The Company has made a payment of $1,252 before September 30, 2011, and recorded an Other Payable balance of $1,252 for the second payment as of September 30, 2011.
In relation to the final settlement, the Company performed a goodwill impairment test on September 30, 2011. Based on the impairment test performed, no impairment charge was recognized in for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Note 8 LONG TERM INVESTMENT
In December 2008, New Yulong IT invested in Shanghai Jiuhong Investment Group Limited (“Jiuhong”) for a 19.8% equity interest, as an initial attempt to expand its data mining service into commercial real estate leasing market with Jiuhong. The investment is accounted for under the cost method, as the Company does not have a significant influence over the business and operations of Jiuhong.
The Company did not receive any dividends in 2011, and has not received any dividends in excess of the proportionate share of accumulated earnings since the date of acquisition, as a reduction of the cost of the investment.
In the current quarter, the Company performed an impairment test, and estimated that the expected cash flows from the investment would be significantly lower than our estimate before. Moreover, the Company believed such a decline in the value of a long term investment would be other than temporary. Therefore, an impairment charge of $1,059 has been recorded and the carrying amount of the investment was reduced to $784 to recognize the decline.

The balance of goodwill was recognized in acquisition of Haicom. In relation to the final settlement with former shareholders of Haicom, the Company conducted a review of Haicom’s operation performance since the closing of the acquisition, and performed a goodwill impairment test on September 30, 2011.

Note 10 INCOME TAX EXPENSE
United States
Jingwei International Limited is subject to the US federal tax at tax rate of 34%. No provision for US federal income taxes has been made as the Company had no US taxable income for the periods presented, and the earnings will be permanently reinvested in the PRC.
BVI
Jingwei BVI was incorporated in the BVI and, under the current laws of the BVI, it is not subject to income tax.
Hong Kong
Jingwei HK was incorporated in Hong Kong and is subject to Hong Kong profits tax. Jingwei HK is subject to Hong Kong taxation on its activities conducted in Hong Kong and income arising in or derived from Hong Kong. The applicable statutory tax rate is 16.5%.
PRC
The applicable income tax rates in 2011 for the Company’s PRC operating companies, New Yulong IT, New Yulong Software, Jingwei Hengtong, Jingwei Communication, Xinguochuang and Jiangsu Liandong, Haicom, are described as follows: New Yulong IT and Haicom are qualified as high-tech software enterprises and entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 15%, which is subject to government review and approval every three years. New Yulong Software, Jingwei Hengtong, Jingwei Communication are all entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 24%, 22% and 22% respectively in 2011. Jiangsu Liandong is subject to 25% income tax rate in 2011. Xinguochuang was approved for its application for preferential enterprise income tax treatment in 2010, which exempted the entity from income tax in 2010 and 2011, and entitled it to 12.5% for the subsequent three years and 25% thereafter.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized an income tax expense of $243 on income before income taxes of $2,905, representing an effective income tax rate of 8.4%, as compared to an income tax expense of $316 on income before income taxes of $6,558, representing an effective income tax rate of 4.8% for the same period in 2010. The significantly lower effective tax rate than the statutory income tax rate in the current period is attributed to the following factor: 1. To make the best use of Xinguochuang’s preferential tax status starting from 2010, the Company has shifted a significant portion of business operations from New Yulong Software and other affiliates to Xinguochuang, resulting in a significant tax saving in 2010 and in 2011;
Note 11 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In relation to the business disposal of Beijing New Media, the Company recorded $868 as amount due from the shareholder, Mr. George Du, to be fully paid in cash within three months after the closing date. Upon the disposal, Jingwei recorded $819 as amount due to a related party, which refer to Beijing New Media, because Beijing New Media has changed from a subsidiary of the Company to a related entity completely owned by Mr. George Du.

The Company has accounted for employee share-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair values of the awards. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value that ultimately will be realized by employees who receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company for accounting purposes.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, total share-based compensation expense recognized for options under the Plan was $200 and $496, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, total share-based compensation expense recognized for options under the Plan was $28 and $92, respectively.

Note 13 BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares comprise shares issuable upon the exercise of share based awards, using the treasury stock method. The reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations for income from continuing operations is shown as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

These options and warrants were still outstanding as of September 30, 2011.

Note 16 VIE
To satisfy PRC laws and regulations, the Company conducts certain business in the PRC through the VIEs.
Resulting from the Contractual Agreements signed between Jingwei Hengong and Jingwei communication, the Company includes the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Jingwei Communication and its subsidiaries in China (the “VIEs”) in its consolidated financial statements.
On February 8, 2007, Jingwei Hengtong and Jingwei Communication entered into a series of VIE agreements for a term of ten years. Upon the execution of these agreements, Jingwei HengTong became the primary beneficiary of Jingwei Communication, which allowed the Company to consolidate the financial results of Jingwei Communication and its subsidiaries.
As a result of the Operating Agreement, the Company was granted with unconstrained decision making rights and power over key operational functions within the VIEs. As a result of Exclusive Technology Consulting Services Agreement the Company will bear all of the VIEs operating costs in exchange for 100% of the net income the VIEs. There is not any income or loss of the VIE attributed to other parties. The Company does not have any equity interest in our VIEs, but instead has the right to enjoy economic benefits similar to equity ownership through our contractual arrangements with VIEs and their shareholders.
These contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing the Company with control over the VIEs as direct ownership. Due to its VIE structure, the Company has to rely on contractual rights to effect control and management of the VIEs, which exposes it to the risk of potential breach of contract by the shareholders of Jingwei Communication for a number of reasons. For example, their interests as shareholders of Jingwei Communication and the interests of the Company may conflict and the Company may fail to resolve such conflicts; the shareholders may believe that breaching the contracts will lead to greater economic benefit for them; or the shareholders may otherwise act in bad faith. If any of the foregoing were to happen, the Company may have to rely on legal or arbitral proceedings to enforce its contractual rights, including specific performance or injunctive relief, and claiming damages. Such arbitral and legal proceedings may cost substantial financial and other resources, and result in disruption of its business, and the Company cannot assure that the outcome will be in its favor. Apart from the above risks, there are no significant judgments or assumptions regarding enforceability of the contracts. Mr. George Du, Chairman of the Company, also is the controlling stockholder of Jingwei Communication, who holds 90% of its common shares.
13
In addition, as all of these contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through either arbitration or litigation in the PRC, they would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. The legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in other jurisdictions, such as the United States. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could further limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. Furthermore, these contracts may not be enforceable in China if PRC government authorities or courts take a view that such contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or are otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. In the event the Company is unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, it may not be able to exert effective control over the VIEs, and its ability to conduct its business may be materially and adversely affected.
None of the assets of the VIEs can be used only to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on the Company’s general assets. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, there was $7,807 and $6,126 of liabilities of the Company’s consolidated VIEs for which creditors did not have recourse to the general credit of the Company or its subsidiaries.
The following financial statement amounts and balances of the VIEs were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as follows:

To fund the operations of VIEs in China, Jingwei HengTong has provided the VIEs with zero interest intercompany loans in 2007 and later periods in the total of $11,456, with no specific repayment terms.
Most of our operations are conducted through our affiliated companies which the Company controls through contractual agreements in the form of variable interest entities. Current regulations in China permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only out of its accumulated distributable profits, if any, determined in accordance with their articles of association and PRC accounting standards and regulations. The ability of these Chinese affiliates to make dividends and other payments to us may be restricted by factors that include changes in applicable foreign exchange and other laws and regulations.
14
|
A.
|
Under PRC law, our subsidiary may only pay dividends after 10% of its after-tax profits have been set aside as reserve funds, unless such reserves have reached at least 50% of its registered capital. Such cash reserve may not be distributed as cash dividends.
|
|
B.
|
The PRC Income Tax Law also imposes a 10% withholding income tax on dividends generated on or after January 1, 2008 and distributed by a resident enterprise to its foreign investors, if such foreign investors are considered as non-resident enterprise without any establishment or place within China or if the received dividends have no connection with such foreign investors’ establishment or place within China, unless such foreign investors’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement.
|
As of September 30, 2011, there were $31.0 million retained earnings in aggregate available for distribution, aside from $3.6 million statutory reserve fund. The retained earnings from PRC subsidiaries and VIEs are subject to 10% PRC dividend withholding taxes upon distribution. There were no significant differences between retained earnings as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards as compared to retained earnings as presented in our financial statements.
Most of our net revenues are currently generated in Renminbi. Any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use net revenues generated in Renminbi to make dividends or other payments in U.S. dollars or fund possible business activities outside China.
Foreign currency exchange regulation in China is primarily governed by the following rules:
|
·
|
Foreign Exchange Administration Rules (1996), as amended in August 2008, or the Exchange Rules;
|
|
·
|
Administration Rules of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), or the Administration Rules.
|
Under the Administration Rules, RMB is freely convertible for current account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest payments, trade and service related foreign exchange transactions, but not for capital account items, such as direct investments, loans, repatriation of investments and investments in securities outside of China, unless the prior approval of the SAFE is obtained and prior registration with the SAFE is made. Foreign-invested enterprises like ours that need foreign exchange for the distribution of profits to their shareholders may effect payment from their foreign exchange accounts or purchase and pay foreign exchange rates at the designated foreign exchange banks to their foreign shareholders by producing board resolutions for such profit distribution. Based on their needs, foreign-invested enterprises are permitted to open foreign exchange settlement accounts for current account receipts and payments of foreign exchange along with specialized accounts for capital account receipts and payments of foreign exchange at certain designated foreign exchange banks.

Business Overview
We are one of the leading providers of data mining, interactive marketing and software services in the PRC. We have established multiple anchor customers in both the Telecom & Power sectors with long-term relationships since 2001. These relationships are expected to continue and further strengthen as result of our technical competency and services leadership which continued to bring high value to the business of these customers. We offer a rich portfolio of business intelligence and interactive marketing services powered by a proprietary database with more than 400 million consumer profiles and a complementary set of Data Mining and Business Intelligence tools to enable customers to reach their targeted consumers. Services include market segmentation, customer churn, fraud detection, trend analysis, self-service reporting, database marketing, contact center services, mobile value-added services (MVAS) and multi-media, multi-channel advertising. In addition to the deployment of our “mobile application store” platform at China Telecom and the pilot platform in China Unicom in 2010, we have successfully designed and deployed mobile value-added services ("MVAS") Society Channel and marketing support system for China Unicom in four provinces, to leverage our core competences to help them effectively operate and expand the society distribution channels on partnership and revenue sharing basis for mutual benefits. This will be another strategic growth initiative for the Company in 2012.
Our services assist customers in improving product development and marketing effectiveness, increase operational efficiency and profitability, helps identify new market trends, target audiences and opportunities, delivers effective marketing messages to targeted consumers and provides interactive, proactive and personalized marketing and advertising for optimal results. We have sharpened our focus to further develop our interactive marketing platform and integrated mobile value added service platforms with targeted outbound sales campaigns via mobile phone advertising and value added services, as well as customer service/order fulfillment using online stores and at call centers throughout the country.
Along-with our core data mining segment, we also operate a software services business, with proven leadership in quality billing, Business Intelligence, Provisioning Support, Decision Support, Operations Support and Customer Relationship Management software applications, primarily for China’s leading telecommunication services carriers. The software services business also strengthens sales opportunities for our high margin interactive marketing and data mining platform, and allows us to enhance our customer database. At present, we have achieved leadership position in the deployment of billing and OSS solutions to support IPTV rollout for China Telecom in 28 cities or provinces. And, through our channel partners, we have deployed our billing and OSS solution for telecom carriers in 9 overseas countries.
Currently, we offer 37 data mining and software platforms registered with the Shenzhen Bureau of Science, Technology and Information and National Government. And our intellectual property portfolio is covered by 33 patents issued by National Intellectual Property Administration of the People’s Republic of China. When these patents were registered with the appropriate authority, we receive a certificate with respect to protected intellectual property in such software; we then license the software to the customers for a usage fee as well as an optional annual maintenance fee after the standard warranty period. Our software services streamline back-office operations for the customers, enable accurate billing and provisioning, improve business operational efficiency, as well as enable intimate and personalized relationship management for their end-customers.
In the data mining segment, we presently own and manage a database containing detailed biographical, demographic and purchasing information on over 400 million Chinese consumers and a selected group of SMEs. We believe our database is one of the largest in China, and that it would be difficult for competitors to duplicate. The breadth of our database affords us the ability to conduct a wide range of interactive marketing and data mining processes. Once a target audience is identified through data mining analysis, we assist our customers in the promotion and marketing of new products and services through telemarketing, direct marketing and mobile text and interactive advertising. We share in the revenues derived from consumer purchases resulting from our marketing and promotion activities. Within our data mining services operations, we also offer carriers a vast range of MVAS. Unlike our competitors who mainly use carriers’ networks simply as a distribution channel, we work with telecommunications carriers to design, build, operate and manage MVAS platforms jointly with them to offer to their customers under their own brands; based on which we have a share of the revenue derived from the services provided to their customers
16
The primary geographic focus of our operations is in China, with presence in more than 20 cities, where we derive most of our revenues. We conduct our business operations through Jingwei Hengtong, a wholly-owned subsidiary company of Jingwei that became the primary beneficiary of Jingwei Communication via various contractual agreements. Both companies are registered in China.
Our future plans are to stay sharply focused to capitalize on the favorable industry trends to grow our business. By leveraging our core competence and the multiple long term relationships with our clients, we are confident of our unique and competitive position to benefit from the significant growth waves unfolding in China.
Business Outlook and Other Recent Developments
In 2011, the Company has invested greatly to expand our product offerings and strengthen the sales team in data mining segment. We have revamped the R&D and sales teams in Shanghai office, so as to upgrade our major MVAS “Stock Trading Secretary” to a more comprehensive program, adding new features such as personal wealth management information, financial advisor commentaries and basic wealth management consultation over the phone. With successful deployment of the MVAS Society Channel and marketing support system for China Unicom in four provinces, the Company has built up a strong operating team for this product line. We aim to build on momentum to quickly expand the coverage to ten provinces in the next six months. Although management changes within a major telecom carrier have impacted the expected ramp-up of our interactive marketing services in the quarter, we expect the product lines mentioned above to pick up the slack, and drive data mining segment to a steady growth in 2012.
In the software services segment, the Company experienced some softness in our traditional BSS/OSS product offerings to the telecom carriers. While we maintained our market leadership in development of IPTV billing and OSS solution, and continued to upgrade integrated call center platforms in multiple provinces for China Unicom in support of its widely popular “116114” service, we are making efforts to diversify our customer base. Lately the Company has successfully won two significant system integration contracts to develop web-based integrated governmental service platforms for local governments in Guangdong province. By leveraging the management team’s expertise in overseas market, we are negotiating with a few telecom carriers in Eastern European and African countries to offer our traditional BSS/OSS products.

Total net revenue decreased 17% in the third quarter year over year, due to underperformance in Data mining segments.
Data mining. Revenue in this segment decreased by 33% for the third quarter compared to the same period in 2010. This segment underperforms our expectation, as management changes within a major telecom carrier have impacted the expected ramp-up of our interactive marketing services in the quarter. However, the Company continues to invest in the development of new services, including the mobile value-added services ("MVAS") Society Channel and marketing support system, and expects to accelerate our deployment of these service platforms in the coming quarters as the market demand develops.
Software services. Revenue in this segment decreased by 1% for the third quarter compared to the same period in 2010. The slight decrease was mainly due to some softness in our key BSS/OSS product offerings to the telecom carriers.

Total net revenue increased 16% in the first nine months year over year, mainly due to strong growth in Software Service segment.
Data mining. Revenue decreased by 6% in the first three quarters compared to the same period in 2010. This segment underperforms our expectation, partly due to product life cycle issues, and partly due to management changes within a major telecom carrier, which have impacted the expected ramp-up of our interactive marketing services.
Software services. Revenue increased by 42% for the first three quarter compared to the same period in 2010. The increase was mainly due to completion of a few large system integration orders.

Total cost of sales was $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, decreasing by 15% from $5.5 million for the same period in 2010.
Data mining. Cost of data mining decreased by 52% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. This decrease in cost was mainly in line with the revenue decrease.
Software services. Cost of software services increased 49% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. This significant increase in cost is primarily attributed to a change in product mix, as several large scale system integration solutions had a high content of hardware acquired through third parties, which resulted in lower margin achieved for those orders.

Data mining. Cost of data mining decreased by 31% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. This improvement in cost control was mainly due to less demand for the bundled mobile VAS solutions product line, resulting in a highly favorable change in product mix.

Overall gross margin dropped by 1% year over year for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, mainly due to change in product mix in both business segments.
Data mining. The gross margin of data mining increased by 19% year over year for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The significant improvement was mainly due to less demand for the bundled mobile VAS solutions product line, resulting in a highly favorable improvement in segment margin.
Software services. The gross margin of software services sales decreased 20% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. This decrease in gross margin is mainly attributed to several large scale system integration orders in the current period, in which the Company delivered a high degree of hardware acquired through third parties.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The total selling, general and administrative expenses were $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $1.5 million in the same period last year. The year-on-year increase in total expenses for the third quarter of 2011 was $1.5 million. The increase was mainly due to an increase of $0.9 million in bad debt provision, an increase of $0.2 million in salary and annual bonus, an increase of 0.2 million in amortization expense, and an increase of $0.2 million in selling expenses from acquisition of Haicom.
Research and Development Costs. The total R&D costs were $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, which has increased 56%, as compared to the same period last year.

As of September 30, 2011, we had $4.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. While we have incurred a reduction in cash and cash equivalents in the last three quarters, largely resulting from two installment payments for business acquisition consideration, we believe our ability to generate cash flow from our operating activities, our focus and commitment in improving trade receivables, along with our available cash will be sufficient to fund our operating activities, capital expenditures and other obligations through 2011 and beyond.
The following tables set forth the movements of our cash and cash equivalents for the periods presented:

Operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $2.0 million. This was primarily attributable to the net income of $2.0 million, adjusted by non-cash items of share-based compensation of $0.2 million, allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.5 million, and depreciation and amortization of $3.8 million, offset by a net decrease in cash from working capital items of $11.6 million.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $2.6 million, which was attributable to $0.6 million spent on acquisition of properties and equipment, and $2.0 million installment payments for business acquisition consideration.
Financing activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company has paid $0.4 million to its Chairman, Mr. Du, to partially pay off an interest free loan he provided to the Company at its development stage. In addition, the Company incurred $0.1 million short-term debts in total to the Chairman in the current quarter. Under its share repurchase program, the Company has used $0.04 million in cash to repurchase common shares, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are designed to ensure that (1) information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms; and (2) that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls and procedures and collusion to circumvent and conceal the overriding of controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of September 30, 2011, the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries, and communicated to our management (including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
