A. Selected Financial Data

The following selected consolidated financial data of CDC and our subsidiaries should be read in conjunction with our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the three years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007 and the notes thereto, together referred to as the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 18, Financial Statements, and the information included in Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared and presented in accordance with US GAAP.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, we reported operating results in five business segments, “Software,” “Global Services,” “CDC Games,” “China.com,” and “Mobile Services and Applications”. During 2005 we reorganized our business into two core business units, CDC Software and China.com, and during 2006 we further reorganized our business to add a third core business unit, CDC Games. The operations of Software and Global Services are included in the CDC Software business unit, the operations of CDC Games are included in the CDC Games business unit, and the operations of Mobile Services and Applications and China.com are included in the China.com business unit in all years presented. See “Note 22 – Segment Information” in Item 18, Financial Statements for additional disclosure of segment information.

During 2004 and 2005, we discontinued the operations of certain of our subsidiaries. The operating results of the discontinued operating units were retroactively reclassified as a loss from operations of discontinued subsidiaries, net of tax, in all periods presented in this Annual Report.

The following selected consolidated financial data of CDC and our subsidiaries is derived from our audited financial data, after adjustment for the reclassification of discontinued operations and segment reporting for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

(1) The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share did not assume the conversion of the Company’s warrants for 2003 and its stock options for 2004, 2005 and 2007 because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive due to the required two class method of fully diluted per share used by the Company. 2,263,642 and 16,200,579 weighted average shares related to the convertible notes were not included in the 2006 and 2007 diluted earnings per share calculations, respectively, because to do so would have been antidilutive.

D. Risk Factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below together with other information included or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report in your decision as to whether or not to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could fall, and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our common stock.

Risks Relating to Our Overall Business

Because our business model and strategy have evolved, we lack experience and have a limited operating history in our new markets and we may not be successful in meeting the needs of customers in these markets. Our operating results could fall below expectations, resulting in a decrease in our stock price.

We began in June 1997 as a pan-Asian integrated Internet company. Our business model and strategy have evolved with a new focus and goal to be a global company focused on enterprise software and business services through our CDC Software business unit, on online games through our CDC Games business unit and on internet and media services through our China.com business unit. You will not be able to evaluate our prospects solely by reviewing our past businesses and results, but should consider our prospects in light of the changes in our business focus. Each of our targeted markets is rapidly changing, and we may not successfully address the challenges in our new lines of business or adapt our business model and strategy to meet the needs of customers in these markets. If we fail to modify our business model or strategy to adapt to these markets, our business could suffer.

We have incurred losses in prior periods, may incur losses in the future and cannot provide any assurance that we can achieve or sustain profitability.

We have incurred operating losses in three of our last 5 fiscal years and net losses in three of our last 5 fiscal years as follows:

	2003		2004			2005			2006		2007
	(in thousands)
Operating income (loss)	$	308	$	(7,095	)	$	(3,833	)	$	3,635	$	(98,616	)
Net income (loss)	$	15,768	$	(5,967	)	$	(3,514	)	$	10,840	$	(105,033	)

Our operating losses and net losses may increase in the future, and we may not achieve or sustain operating profitability or net profitability. We may continue to incur operating losses and post net losses in the future due to several factors, including:

• planned acquisition activities related to the growth and development of our three core business units, CDC Software, CDC Games and China.com;

• continuing effects of acquisition-related adjustments including intangible asset amortization, stock compensation and deferred tax expense;

• a high level of planned operating expenditures, including costs we expect to incur as a result of our ongoing efforts to comply with the regulations promulgated under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; and

• increased investment activities related to our new businesses as we seek to achieve organic growth, which may include:

• increased sales and marketing costs; and

8

• greater levels of product development expenses.

In addition, while, from time to time, we have experienced sequential quarterly increases in revenues, we cannot be certain that revenue growth will occur or continue in the future. We may see a reversal of any sequential growth in quarterly revenues due to several factors, including:

• any decisions to dispose of business units, subsidiaries, products or services which we no longer believe to be central to our new business model and strategy, which would decrease our revenue base;

• a substantial portion of our software license revenue is recognized in the last month of a quarter, and often in the last weeks or days of a quarter, which may result in increased volatility in quarterly revenues if customers decide to defer or cancel orders or implementations, particularly large orders or implementations, from one quarter to the next;

• the delay of new software product releases which can result in a customer’s decision to delay execution of a contract or, for contracts that include the new software release as an element of the contract, will result in deferral of revenue recognition until such release;

• the potential or actual loss of key clients and key personnel;

• our failure to increase market awareness of our company, our brands and our products and services; and

• a slowdown in the U.S., European, Asian and/or other economic markets.

These factors could also adversely affect our ability to achieve or sustain profitability. We may not generate sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability, or that we can sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Even though our revenue is difficult to predict, we base our decisions regarding our operating expenses on anticipated revenue trends. Many of our expenses are relatively fixed, and we may not be able to quickly reduce spending in response to lower than expected revenue growth. As a result, revenue shortfalls could result in significantly lower income or result in a greater loss than anticipated for any given period, which could result in a decrease in our stock price. If revenue does not meet our expectations, or if operating expenses exceed what we anticipate or cannot be reduced accordingly, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.

Our strategy of expansion through acquisitions or investments has been and will continue to be costly, may not be effective, and we may realize losses on our investments.

As a key component of our business and growth strategy, we have acquired and invested in, and may continue to acquire and invest in, companies and assets that we believe will enhance our business model, revenue base, operations and profitability, particularly relating to our strategy in enterprise software, global services and online games. Our acquisitions and investments have resulted in, and will continue to result in, the use of significant amounts of cash, the incurrence of debt, dilutive issuances of our common shares and amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets, each of which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our continued international acquisitions and investments may expose us to additional regulatory and political risks, and could negatively impact our business prospects.

Our expansion throughout international markets exposes us to the following risks, any of which could negatively impact our business prospects:

• adverse changes in regulatory requirements, including export restrictions or controls;

• potentially adverse tax and regulatory consequences;

9

• differences in accounting practices and investment requirements;

• different cultures which may be relatively less accepting of our business;

• difficulties in staffing and managing operations;

• differences and inconsistencies in legal interpretations, laws, rules and regulations;

• greater legal uncertainty and difficulty in complying with such laws and regulations;

• tariffs and other trade barriers;

• changes in the general economic and investment climate affecting valuations and perception of our business sectors;

• political instability and fluctuations in currency exchange rates; and

• different seasonal trends in business activities.

During each of 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2007, we depended more on acquisitions for our increase in revenues than the organic growth of our businesses. We may not be successful in increasing our revenues through organic growth or through acquisitions and may lose our investment if we do not successfully integrate the businesses we acquire.

• During 2003, our acquisitions included the acquisition of Praxa, an Australian information technology outsourcing and professional services organization; the acquisition of Palmweb Inc. which operates Newpalm, a provider of mobile services and applications in China; and the acquisition of IMI, an international provider of software to the supply chain management sector principally in Europe and the United States.

• During 2004, our acquisitions included the acquisition of Pivotal Corporation, or Pivotal, a customer relationship management (CRM) company focused on mid-sized enterprises; the acquisition of Group Team Investments Limited, which holds Beijing He He Technology Co. Ltd. which operated Go2joy, a mobile services and applications provider based in Beijing, China; and the acquisition of Ross Systems, Inc., or Ross, an ERP company focused on the food and beverage, life sciences, chemicals, metals and natural products industries.

• During 2006, our acquisitions included a number of enterprise software and business solutions companies, including: c360 Solutions, Inc., a provider of add-in products and development tools for Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform; MVI Holdings Limited, a real-time performance management solutions provider; DB Professionals, Inc., an outsourced IT support and consulting services provider based in Oregon; Vis.align, Inc., an enterprise solutions and IT services provider based in Pennsylvania; and OST International, an outsourced IT support and consulting services provider based in Illinois.

• During 2007, our acquisitions included Respond Group Limited, an enterprise class complaints, feedback and customer service solutions provider in the U.K.; Saratoga Systems, an enterprise CRM and wireless CRM applications provider in the U.S.; the assets of PlanTec Pty Ltd and a majority interest in Vectra Corporation, information technology service providers in Australia; Catalyst International, an integrated supply chain execution solutions and services provider; and Snapdragon Consulting Pty. Ltd., a service provider focused on Microsoft CRM in October 2007.

Between 2003 and 2004, our consolidated net revenues increased 134%, or approximately $104.6 million, from $77.9 million in 2003 to $182.5 million in 2004 primarily due to the acquisitions of Ross, Pivotal, and Go2joy, as well as the inclusion of a full year of results from acquisitions made in 2003. Between 2004 and 2005, our consolidated net revenues increased 34%, or approximately $62.4 million,

10

from $182.5 million in 2004 to $244.9 million primarily from the inclusion of Ross, Pivotal and Go2joy for the full year in 2005 and increased sales volumes in certain key products as discussed under the section entitled “Results of Operations” in Item 5, Operating Financial Review and Prospects. Between 2005 and 2006, our consolidated net revenues increased 26.4% or approximately $64.6 million, from $244.9 million in 2005 to $309.5 million in 2006, primarily as a result of acquisition related activities. Between 2006 and 2007, our consolidated net revenues increased 30% to, or approximately $92.9 million, from $309.5 million to $402.3 million, primarily as a result of acquisition-related activities.

Our ability to achieve organic growth in our businesses is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the following:

• our investments in sales and marketing, research and development and personnel training could require significant resources and may not ultimately prove successful in generating organic growth;

• we may not be successful in introducing our products and services into new markets, such as the emerging markets, including China and India, targeted by our Software Group; and

• our strategy to sell new products to our existing customer base, which has expanded through acquisitions, may not be successful or as profitable as we expect. Our customers sometimes do not find our other enterprise software applications to be as attractive as the ones they have previously purchased. In addition, the revenues generated from these sales are often less than that of an independent third-party software supplier.

Although we have experienced revenue growth in the past, primarily due to acquisitions, if we are unable to achieve organic growth in our businesses, there will be a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve organic growth in our business.

As discussed above, from 2004 to 2007, we expanded our operations rapidly, both in size and scope, and during 2008 and in the future need to integrate, manage and protect our interests in the businesses we acquire. We may experience difficulties in integrating, assimilating and managing the operations, technologies, intellectual property, products and personnel of our acquired businesses individually and cumulatively, and may need to reorganize or restructure our operations to achieve our operating goals. This may include creating or retaining separate units or entities within each of our operating segments. Our failure to integrate and manage our acquired businesses successfully could delay the contribution to profit that we anticipate from these acquisitions, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We intend to continue to evaluate and pursue strategic acquisitions. We may incur significant costs in our efforts to engage in strategic transactions and these expenditures may not result in successful acquisitions. Furthermore, we may be unable to integrate our past or future acquisitions successfully, which could result in increased costs, divert management’s attention and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We intend to continue to evaluate and pursue strategic acquisitions that can, among other things, broaden our customer base, provide enhanced geographic presence and provide complementary technical and commercial capabilities.

We believe that attractive acquisition candidates currently exist in our target markets for each of our business segments, and we continuously consider a number of transactions, some of which would be material to our operations and financial condition if consummated. Our ability to complete future acquisitions depends upon a number of factors that are not entirely within our control, including our ability

11

to identify suitable acquisition candidates, negotiate acceptable terms, conclude satisfactory agreements and secure financing. We may incur significant costs arising from our efforts to engage in strategic transactions and these expenditures may not result in the successful completion of acquisitions.

We also may be unable to integrate our past or future acquisitions successfully. In order to realize the benefits anticipated from each acquisition, we need to conform the operational, managerial and financial controls, procedures and policies between our corporate headquarters and the businesses we have acquired, which may divert management’s attention, increase transaction costs and reduce employee morale. Our ability to integrate past and future acquisitions is subject to a number of risks, including:

• our inability to retain and integrate key employees and manage employee morale;

• our inability to integrate or combine different corporate cultures;

• our inability to effectively integrate products, research and development, sales, marketing, accounting and finance functions and other support operations;

• our inability to maintain focus on our day-to-day operations;

• the discovery of unanticipated liabilities or other contingencies that we did not identify during the course of our due diligence investigations;

• potential claims filed by terminated employees or contractors; and

• our inability to adapt to local market conditions and business practices.

We could be prevented from, or significantly delayed in, achieving our strategic goals if we are unable to complete strategic transactions or successfully integrate acquired businesses. Our failure to complete strategic transactions or to integrate and manage acquired businesses successfully may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The process of integrating our acquisitions has required, and will continue to require, significant resources, particularly in light of potential regulatory requirements and operational demands. Integrating these acquisitions in the past has been time-consuming, expensive and disruptive to our business. This integration process has strained our managerial resources, resulting in the diversion of these resources from our core business objectives and may do so in the future. Failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of these acquisitions or to successfully integrate the operations of these entities has harmed and could potentially harm our business, results of operations and cash flows in future periods. Furthermore, we may face other unanticipated costs from our acquisitions, such as disputes involving earn-out and incentive compensation amounts.

We may make additional acquisitions of complementary companies, products or technologies in the future. In addition, we periodically evaluate the performance of all our products and services and may sell or discontinue current products and services. Failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of any acquisition or divestiture could harm our business, results of operations and cash flows. Furthermore, we may have to incur debt, write off investments, infrastructure costs or other assets, incur severance liabilities, write off impaired goodwill or other intangible assets or issue equity securities to pay for any future acquisitions.

12

Rapid growth and a rapidly changing operating environment strain our limited resources.

We have limited operational, administrative and financial resources, which may be inadequate to sustain the growth we want to achieve. As the demands of our customers change and if our business continues to expand, we will need to increase our investment in our network infrastructure, facilities and other areas of operations. If we are unable to manage our growth and expansion effectively, the quality of our products and services could deteriorate and our business may suffer. Our future success will depend on, among other things, our ability to:

• adapt our products and services and maintain and improve the quality of our products and services;

• continue training, motivating and retaining our existing employees and attract and integrate new employees; and

• develop and improve our operational, financial, accounting and other internal systems and controls.

Several of the products and services we offer are quite disparate and have very different uses and functionalities, and it is difficult to discern significant synergies between and among them, which limits the amount of integration, cost savings and cross-selling we may be able to achieve among our business segments.

We are a global company focused on enterprise software through our CDC Software business unit, on online games through our CDC Games business unit and on internet and media services through our China.com business unit. Several of our products and services are quite disparate and have very different uses and functionalities. As such, it is difficult to discern significant synergies between and among some of our business segments. For example, our Software segment focuses on delivering enterprise software applications and related services around the world for enterprise resource planning, supply chain management, customer relationship management, order management systems, human resource management and business intelligence. Our online Games segment primarily focuses on operating online games for the China market. Because our segments are quite distinct, there may be limits to the amount of integration, cost savings and cross-selling we may be able to achieve among our business segments.

While as of December 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $142.2 million and total available-for-sale securities of $107.0 million, much of this cash balance is held at our China.com subsidiary, and we have limited ability to use these funds for our benefit or our other subsidiaries outside of the China.com chain of subsidiaries.

As of December 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $142.2 million and total available-for-sale securities of $107.0 million. Of such amounts, $92.9 million of the cash and cash equivalents and $63.1 million of the total investments held for trading and available for sale were held at China.com. China.com is a 77% owned subsidiary of ours listed on the Growth Enterprise Market of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Although we have the ability to appoint a majority of the board of directors of China.com, the board of directors of China.com owes fiduciary duties to all of the shareholders of China.com to act in the best interests of and use the assets of China.com, including the cash and cash equivalents balance and debt securities, for the benefit of such shareholders. As a result, aside from the board of directors of China.com declaring a dividend to its shareholders for which we would receive a pro rata portion as a 77% shareholder of China.com or a related party inter-company loan or similar transaction from China.com which would likely require the approval of the minority shareholders of China.com, we have limited ability to transfer or move the cash, cash equivalents, held-for-trading investments and available-for-sale investments balance to us at the parent entity level, or to use the amounts of cash, cash equivalents and held-for-trading investments and available-for-sale investments balance for the benefit of entities other than China.com and its subsidiaries. Any inability to access funds at China.com may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

We have significant fixed operating expenses, which may be difficult to adjust in response to unanticipated fluctuations in revenues, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

A significant part of our operating expenses, particularly personnel, rent, depreciation and amortization, are fixed in advance of any particular quarter. As a result, an unanticipated decrease in the

13

number or average size of, or an unanticipated delay in the scheduling for, our engagements may cause significant variations in operating results in any particular quarter and could have a material adverse effect on operations for that quarter. In the near-term, we believe our costs and operating expenses may increase in certain areas as we fund new initiatives and continue to pay for costs related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, mergers and acquisitions and other corporate initiatives we may undertake. Although we intend to strive to keep our costs and operating expenses in the near-term to a level that is in line with our expected revenue, we may not be able to increase our revenue sufficiently to keep pace with any growth in expenditures.

Because we rely on local management for many of our localized CDC Software, CDC Games and China.com businesses, our business may be adversely affected if we cannot effectively manage local officers or prevent them from acting in a manner contrary to our interests or failing to act at our direction.

In connection with our strategy to develop our enterprise software products and services through our CDC Software business unit, online games through our CDC Games business unit and internet and media services through our China.com subsidiary, we have interests in companies in local markets where we may have limited experience with operating assets and businesses in such jurisdictions, including enterprise software companies in the United States, Canada and Europe, global services companies in Australia, Korea and the U.S. and online games companies in the U.S., Japan and the PRC. As a result, we rely on our local management and have limited oversight over these persons. If we cannot effectively manage our local officers and management, or prevent them from acting in a manner contrary to our interests or failing to act at our direction, these problems could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and share price.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 and 2007. If we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, our ability to report timely and accurate financial information could be materially and adversely affected.

In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements, we and our independent registered public accounting firm have concluded that material weaknesses existed in our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2007. A material weakness is defined as a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses that existed at December 31, 2007 were noted in the financial statement close and reporting processes, income taxes and treasury management. The primary cause of the material weaknesses was lack of sufficient personnel in each of these areas with appropriate expertise to ensure proper accounting and treatment in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

We cannot be certain that our material weaknesses will be fully remediated by December 31, 2008 because we have not yet fully completed the implementation or testing of our planned remedial actions and measures. Furthermore, we cannot assure you if or when we will be able to remedy these control deficiencies, that our independent registered public accounting firm will agree with our assessment that such deficiencies have been fully remediated, or that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future. If the control deficiencies we have identified recur, or if we identify additional deficiencies or fail to implement new or improved controls successfully in a timely manner, we may be unable to issue timely and accurate financial reports and investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements, and such conclusion could negatively impact the trading price of our class A common shares.

If we need to raise additional capital in the future, it may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all.

We may require additional capital in the future to pursue potential acquisitions or grow our business organically. We intend to meet our capital requirements through a variety of sources, including accessing the capital markets. If we are unable to obtain capital on favorable terms, or if we are unable to obtain capital at all, it could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Relating to Our International Operations

A large part of our business is international and, as a result, there are a number of factors beyond our control associated with international operations that could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Approximately 57% and 49% of our total revenues in 2006 and 2007, respectively, were derived from customers outside of North America. We anticipate that revenues from customers outside the United States will continue to account for a significant portion of our total revenues in the future, particularly as we intend to expand into targeted emerging markets, such as the PRC. Our operations outside the United States are subject to additional risks, including:

• changes in or interpretations of U.S. or foreign law that may materially and adversely affect our ability to sell our products, perform services or repatriate profits to the United States;

• the imposition of tariffs;

• hyperinflation or economic or political instability in foreign countries;

• imposition of limitations on or increase of withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by foreign subsidiaries;

• conducting business in places where business practices and customs are unfamiliar and unknown or prohibited by applicable law;

• the imposition of restrictive trade policies, including changes in export restrictions;

• worldwide political conditions;

• the imposition of inconsistent laws or regulations;

• the imposition or increase of investment requirements and other restrictions by foreign governments;

• difficulty in staffing and managing our operations;

• different seasonal and other trends in business activities;

• longer collection cycles for accounts receivable;

• uncertainties relating to foreign laws and legal proceedings;

• having to comply with a variety of U.S. laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, anti-boycott and embargo statutes and regulations, some of which are designed to safeguard U.S. origin technology from the unauthorized export to foreign parties and others which are designed to prevent U.S. persons from transacting business with companies and individuals identified by the federal government as prohibited countries or parties, violations of which can result in substantial civil and criminal fines as well as temporary or permanent loss in export privileges;

• having to comply with U.S. export control regulations and policies that restrict our ability to communicate with non-U.S. employees and supply foreign affiliates and customers with products and services;

• restrictions imposed on the export of U.S. technology or goods manufactured in the United States to some jurisdictions requires that may require special U.S. export authorization; and

• adverse determinations or findings by applicable export control authorities restricting our ability to export goods and services.

The 2008 Summer Olympics May Impact Our Ability to Provide our Online Games in China.

In preparation for, or in relation to, the upcoming 2008 Summer Olympics to be held in Beijing, regulations may be implemented in China that may affect our ability to provide our online games and other

15

products and services to customers in China. For example, we or our customers may, at times, experience difficulty in accessing the internet. This may make certain of our operations more difficult and time consuming, and could result in our customers not having access to our games. Additionally, the hours of operation for internet cafes, a significant point of access for customers to our online games, may be limited or restricted. We cannot be sure of that there will not be disruptions to internet connectivity, distribution systems, transportation, communications or other infrastructure systems in China as a result of the 2008 Summer Olympics. Additionally, the length and substance of any regulations imposed may vary from province to province and the presence of a large number of foreign visitors in China may also disrupt the conduct of business in China. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

A change in currency exchange rates could increase our costs relative to our revenues.

Our revenues, expenses and liabilities are denominated in a number of currencies, including Australian dollars, British pounds, Canadian dollars, Euros, Chinese Renminbi, South Korean won, Swedish Kronas and U.S. dollars. However, our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars. In the future, we may also conduct business in additional foreign countries and generate revenues, expenses and liabilities in other foreign currencies. As a result, we are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations with respect to any of these currencies and the related interest rate fluctuations. We have not entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks, although we may do so in the future.

Global events beyond our control may disrupt our operations and harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business may be materially and adversely affected by a war, terrorist attack, third-party acts, natural disaster or other catastrophe. Such a catastrophic event could have a direct negative impact on us, our customers, the financial markets or the overall economy. It is impossible to fully anticipate and protect against all potential catastrophes. A security breach, criminal act, military action, power or communication failure, flood, hurricane, severe storm or the like could lead to service interruptions, data losses for customers, disruptions to our operations, or damage to our facilities, and could reduce acceptance and reliance on our products. Any of these could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we may incur costs in repairing any damage or other liabilities beyond our applicable insurance coverage.

Risks Relating to Our Software Group

Our strategy of developing and acquiring products for specific industry segments, or targeted vertical industries, may not be successful, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our strategy focuses on the development of industry-specific enterprise software applications. This strategy may not be successful due to numerous risks and uncertainties, including the following:

• companies in our targeted vertical industries may not select our products;

• many of our targeted vertical industries are subject to their own economic cycles, regulatory considerations and other factors beyond our control. For example, the homebuilding and real estate vertical industry is sensitive to interest rate movements and general economic conditions, and the healthcare vertical industry is subject to significant governmental regulations;

• some of our products have only been recently introduced, so they have neither a significant installed base of users nor significant recognition in their targeted vertical industry;

• development of industry-specific products is time-consuming and requires significant expertise;

• we may experience difficulty in recruiting sales, business and technical personnel who have experience in a particular targeted vertical industry;

16

• due to resource constraints, we have a limited number of developers who can focus on product development for our targeted vertical industries; and

• if we decide to devote our limited resources to a targeted vertical industry, such as by dedicating a sales representative to a particular market, then that resource may not be available to focus on sales to our other targeted vertical industries.

If our strategy of developing products for specific vertical industries is not successful, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Our failure to successfully develop, market or sell new products or adopt new technology platforms could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to generate revenues and sustain our profitability.

Our enterprise software applications compete in a market characterized by rapid technological advances in hardware and software development, evolving standards in computer hardware and software technology and frequent new product introductions and enhancements that may render existing products and services obsolete. While we continually seek to expand and refresh our product offerings to include newer features, products, technologies and standards, and enter into agreements allowing the integration of third-party technology into our products, we cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively or respond to rapid technological changes in our industry. In addition, the introduction of new products or updated versions of existing products has inherent risks, including, but not limited to, risks concerning:

• product quality, including the possibility of software defects, which could result in claims against us or the inability to sell our software products;

• the fit of the new products and features with a customer’s needs;

• the need to educate our sales, marketing and consulting personnel to work with the new products and features, which may strain our resources and lengthen sales cycles;

• market acceptance of initial product releases;

• marketing effectiveness; and

• the accuracy of research or assumptions about the nature and extent of customer demand.

In addition, we may need to adopt newer technology platforms for our enterprise software products as older technologies become obsolete. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in making the transition to new technology platforms for our products in the future. We may be unable to adapt to the new technology, may encounter errors resulting from a significant rewrite of the software code for our products or may be unable to complete the transition in a timely manner. In addition, as we transition to newer technology platforms for our products, our customers may encounter difficulties in the upgrade process, delay decisions about upgrading our products or review their alternatives with another supplier or competitor. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Because we commit substantial resources to developing new software products and services, if the markets for these new products or services do not develop as anticipated, or demand for our products and services in these markets does not materialize or materializes later than we expect, we will have expended substantial resources and capital without realizing sufficient offsetting or resulting revenues, and our business and operating results could be materially and adversely affected. In 2006, our research and development expense was $20.0 million, or approximately 6.5% of our total consolidated net revenues and in 2007, our research and development expense was $23.8 million, or approximately 5.9% of our total net revenues. In addition, as we or our competitors introduce new or enhanced products, the demand for our older products and older versions of such products is likely to decline. If we are unable to provide continued improvements in the functionality of our older products or move customers with our older products to our newer products, maintenance and license revenues from older products may decline, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

17

We dedicate a significant amount of resources to research and development activities and we may not realize significant revenues from these efforts for several years.

Developing, enhancing and localizing software is expensive, and the investment in product development may involve a long payback cycle. Our future plans include significant additional investments in software research and development and related product opportunities. We believe that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to our research and development efforts to maintain our competitive position. However, we do not expect to receive significant revenues from these investments for several years, if at all.

Revenues from our Software segment fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, which may cause volatility in the trading price of our class A common shares.

Many factors have caused, and may continue to cause, revenues from our Software segment to fluctuate significantly, including:

• the practice of recognizing a substantial portion of our software license revenues in the last month of a quarter, and often in the last weeks or days of a quarter, which may result in increased volatility in quarterly revenues if customers decide to defer or cancel orders or implementations, particularly large orders or implementations, from one quarter to the next;

• the gain or loss of any significant customer;

• the number, timing and significance of new product announcements and releases by us or our competitors;

• our ability to acquire or develop products, independently or through strategic relationships with third parties, or introduce and market new and enhanced versions of our products on a timely basis, which may result in a customer delaying the execution of a contract or, for contracts that include a new software release as an element of the contract, the deferral of revenue recognition until such release;

• shipment rescheduling or delays;

• reductions in the historical rate at which opportunities in our pipeline convert into license agreements;

• patterns of capital spending and changes in budgeting cycles by our customers. For example, in 2001 and continuing through most of 2003, capital spending for enterprise software applications was negatively impacted by challenging economic conditions in the United States, Europe and Asia;

• market acceptance of new and enhanced versions of our products;

• changes in the pricing and the mix of our products and services;

• seasonal variations in our sales cycle;

• the level of product and price competition;

• exchange rate fluctuations; and

• changes in personnel and related costs.

In addition, we expect that a substantial portion of our enterprise software application revenues will continue to be derived from renewals of maintenance contracts from customers of our software applications. These maintenance contracts typically expire on an annual basis, and if they are not renewed, the timing of cash collections from related revenues will vary from quarter to quarter, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

18

Some customers are reluctant to make large purchases before they have had the opportunity to evaluate the performance of our software applications in their business and opt to purchase our products in stages or subject to certain conditions. Additional purchases, if any, may follow only if the software performs as expected. To the extent the number of customers who opt to purchase in stages or subject to conditions remains significant or increases, our revenues could be materially and adversely affected.

We have been increasingly moving software development capabilities for our enterprise software applications to India and China which subjects us to risks that may result in certain staffing and management difficulties, which, if not effectively addressed, could delay development of upgrades and new products that, in turn, could reduce revenues and net income and increase research and development costs.

We have established a CRM-focused software development center in Bangalore, India and an ERP and SCM-focused software development center in Shanghai, China and Nanjing. Such off-shoring subjects us to various risks, including the following:

• inability to hire sufficient qualified programmers and developers in these markets;

• risks associated with turnover of programmers and developers, particularly where we have devoted significant time and resources to train such persons to be familiar with our enterprise software applications;

• challenges related to the need to remotely manage developers and programmers in India and China, particularly when the persons most familiar with the needs of the customer and the desired new functionality and features are not located in India and China;

• language and other communications barriers, particularly with software development in China; and

• time zone differences, which make communicating with persons in India and China more difficult.

Our future revenues depend in part on our installed customer base continuing to license additional products, renew customer support agreements and purchase additional services.

Recently, our installed customer base has generated increasing proportions of our license and support and service revenues. In addition, the success of our strategic plan depends on our ability to cross-sell products to our installed base of customers. Our ability to cross-sell new products may depend in part on the degree to which new products have been integrated with our existing applications, which may vary with the timing of new product acquisitions or releases. In future periods, customers may not necessarily license additional products or contract for additional support or other services. Customer support agreements are generally renewable annually at a customer’s option, and there are generally no mandatory payment obligations or obligations to license additional software. Customer support revenues are primarily influenced by the number and size of new support contracts sold in connection with software licenses and the renewal rate (both pricing and participation) of existing support contracts. If our customers decide to cancel their support agreements or fail to license additional products or contract for additional services, or if they reduce the scope of their support agreements, revenues could decrease and our operating results could be adversely affected.

19

The market for enterprise software applications and services is highly competitive, and any failure by us to compete effectively in such a market could result in price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share, which may have an adverse effect on our revenues and profitability.

The business information systems industry in general, and the enterprise software industry in particular, are highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change. Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources, greater name recognition, larger technical staffs and a larger installed customer base than we do. A number of companies offer products that are similar to our products and target the same markets as we do. In addition, many of these competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, and devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can. Furthermore, because there are relatively low barriers to entry in the software industry, we expect additional competition from other established and emerging companies. Such competitors may develop products and services that compete with our products and services or may acquire companies, businesses and product lines that compete with us. It is also possible that competitors may create alliances and rapidly acquire significant market share. Accordingly, our current or potential competitors may develop or acquire products or services comparable or superior to those that we develop, combine or merge to form significant competitors or adapt more quickly than we can to new technologies, evolving industry trends and changing customer requirements. Competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share, any of which could materially and adversely affect our strategy in this market. If we are unable to compete effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Our ability to sell our products is highly dependent on the quality of our service and support offerings, and our failure to offer high quality service could have a material adverse effect on our ability to market and sell our products.

Our customers depend upon our customer service and support staff to resolve issues relating to our products. High-quality support services are critical for the successful marketing and sale of our products. If we fail to provide high-quality support on an ongoing basis, our customers may react negatively and we may be materially and adversely affected in our ability to sell additional products to these customers. This could also damage our reputation and prospects with potential customers. Our failure to maintain high-quality support services could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Relating to Our Global Services Group and the Customer Services Provided by Our Software Group

Because most of our global services contracts can be cancelled with limited notice and without significant penalty, we could suffer a significant loss of business service revenues if our clients were to unexpectedly terminate their contracts.

The standard terms for many of our global service contracts do not require any payments or only include an up-front payment of a relatively low percentage of the total fee of the contract with the balance of the payments subject to our achieving specific milestones and deliverables. We generally do not require collateral for accounts receivable and generally, final payments are not due until completion of successful user acceptance testing. However, most of our business services contracts can be cancelled by the client with limited advance notice and without significant penalty. Termination by any client of a contract for our services could result in a loss of expected revenues, additional expenses for redeployment of staff and resources that were allocated to the terminated engagement, and underutilized employees and resources. Any unexpected cancellations or significant reductions in the scope of any of our large global services projects could have a material and adverse effect on the business of our global services companies, particularly those companies that depend upon a relatively small number of key clients for a substantial portion of their revenues. Should any of those key clients unexpectedly terminate their contracts for our services, we may suffer a significant loss of revenues for such companies which, in turn, could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If our Global Services Group fails to compete effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Our Global Services Group, which consists primarily of many smaller, regionally-focused subsidiaries that operate primarily in Australia and parts of the United States, faces intense competition. Many of our existing competitors, as well as a number of potential new competitors, have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. We also face competition from many of the large Asia Pacific based outsourcing firms. Any of our present or future competitors may provide services that provide significant performance, price, creative or other advantages over those offered by our Global Services Group. We may not be able to compete successfully against our current or future competitors, particularly as markets continue to consolidate, change or mature.

If we fail to accurately estimate the resources and time required for any engagements we enter into on a fixed-price basis, we could experience cost overruns and be subjected to penalties.

Several of our Global Services Group’s engagements consist of individual, non-recurring, short-term projects billed on a fixed-price basis, as distinguished from billing on a time and materials basis. In addition, while most of our professional services engagements associated with the sale and implementation of our enterprise software applications are billed on a time and materials basis, some of our engagements are also contracted on a fixed-price basis. These fixed-price engagements require us at times to commit unanticipated additional resources to complete these engagements, which may result, and has in the past resulted, in losses on certain engagements. Clients may also change the scope of the projects on which we are engaged. Our failure to accurately estimate the resources and time required for a particular engagement or to effectively manage client expectations and changes regarding the timing and scope of the services to be delivered could expose us to risks associated with cost overruns and penalties, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Because some of our Global Services contracts do not have disclaimers of, or limitations on, liability for special, consequential and incidental damages, we may be exposed to potential litigation and liabilities.

A large portion of our service agreements with customers of our Global Services Group do not have disclaimers or limitations on liability for special, consequential and incidental damages, and/or do not have caps on liabilities or have relatively high caps on the amounts our customers can recover for damages. In addition, some of our subsidiaries do not carry professional indemnity or other insurance against liability for any claims or breaches under our customer contracts. If a dispute were to arise with respect to one of these agreements, we would likely be held liable for the obligations of these subsidiaries that do not carry insurance.

Claims relating to our Global Services contracts have arisen and may arise in the future. Any claim under customer contracts could subject us to litigation and give rise to substantial liability for damages, including special, consequential or incidental damages that could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Each of our Global Services Group businesses faces intense competition. If we fail to compete effectively, our failure could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Each of our Global Services Group businesses, many of which are smaller in size and operate in localized regional markets (such as Australia, Korea, and various regions in the United States) faces intense competition. A significant portion of the revenues from some of our Global Services companies is obtained through the resale of software developed by third party software and hardware vendors who use our businesses as channel partners on a non-exclusive basis. Also, we rely on the referrals of these third parties to introduce us to new business opportunities. Should any of those third party software and hardware vendors decide to sell their software and hardware or provide services directly into our market, or use other service providers, this could result in a loss of expected revenues. In addition, many of our existing competitors, as well as a number of potential new competitors, have longer operating histories in each of our

21

target global services markets, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and greater financial, technical and marketing resources when compared to us. For example, as our business evolves to place greater emphasis on outsourced software development and support services, we will face competition from many of the large Asia Pacific based outsourcing firms, such as Infosys Technologies Ltd and Wipro Ltd. Any of our present or future competitors may provide products and services that provide significant performance, price, creative or other advantages over those offered by us. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against our current or future competitors, particularly as markets continue to consolidate, change or mature.

Risks Related to Our Online Games Business

Our limited operating history and the unproven long-term potential of our online games business model make evaluating our business and prospects difficult.

We commenced the commercial distribution and operation of our most popular game, Yulgang, in July 2005. We commercially introduced our second major online game, Special Force, in June 2007. In December 2007 we launched our first game in Japan, Minna de Battle and in February 2008, we launched Lunia, our first MMORPG commercially available in North America. Our limited operating history makes evaluating our business very difficult. It is also difficult to evaluate our prospective business because we may lack sufficient experience to adequately address risks frequently encountered by early-stage companies that use new and unproven business models and enter into rapidly evolving markets like the online games market. Our operating results will depend on numerous factors, that, in certain cases, we have limited or no ability to control. These factors include but are not limited to:

• the popularity, pricing and timing of new online games offered by us and our competitors;

• our ability to timely upgrade our games to extend their commercial lifespans;

• the growth of Internet users and penetration in China and other markets where we have or may expand our operations;

• our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers;

• our ability to license new games that achieve commercial success;

• our ability to maintain rights under our existing games licenses;

• our ability to successfully expand our operations within and outside China;

• our ability to successfully address rapidly changing consumer tastes and preferences in the online games market;

• the popularity of other forms of entertainment, particularly among our target demographic group of 18- to 25- year-olds;

• technological changes and challenges;

• our ability to maintain secure, reliable and effective operation of our servers and software;

• our ability to adequately and efficiently operate, upgrade and develop our transaction processing and payment systems;

• our ability to continue expanding our distribution network for physical and virtual point cards used to pay for in-game merchandise or playing time;

• our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and

22

• general economic conditions in the markets where we operate, particularly those that affect discretionary spending.

Due to these factors, as well as others, we may be unable to maintain or grow our business, which may harm our financial results and our stock price.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly because we currently depend on three online games for substantially all of our online games revenues and have launched, and anticipate launching, several new online games in the future.

We currently derive substantially all of our online games revenues from three online games: Yulgang, Special Force and Shaiya. The commercial lifespan of online games is highly uncertain due to factors such as game quality, business model and competition. If the popularity of Yulgang, Special Force or Shaiya diminish materially, our revenues and profitability may decline. Furthermore, we commercially launched new games in 2007, such as Minna de Battle, in December 2007, and we intend to launch several new games in the future. If revenues from Minna de Battle or other games fail to offset any revenue declines from Yulgang, Special Force or Shaiya, our revenues will decline, which may harm our stock price. The costs associated with launching each new online game are substantial. The typical cost to commercially launch a new online game in the PRC, the United States or Japan varies greatly and can cost several million dollars, exclusive of prepaid licensing fees and royalties, with the substantial majority of these costs being incurred prior to meaningful revenue generation from the online game. Because we incur costs for licensing a new game prior to recognizing any related revenues, we may experience increased expenses and lower margins without the benefit of revenues from that game during this period. The combination of our current reliance on a few online games, the significant costs associated with commercializing each new online game and our expected launch of several new online games in the future may cause our results of operations to fluctuate significantly. Poor operating results for any one game or a delay in the planned launch of a new game could materially affect us, making the investment risks related to any one online game larger than those associated with competitors that have a more broadly established online game portfolio.

If we are unable to consistently license or acquire new online games that have a high likelihood of commercial success, our business will be harmed.

Because we do not have an internal development group, our business strategy requires us to license or acquire new online games that have a high likelihood of commercial success. We typically acquire rights to games either through licensing agreements or by making financial investments in developers in exchange for game publishing and other rights. When we first acquire rights to a game, the game may not have been developed, or if developed, may not have been proven successful in China or another target market. Accordingly, we typically make a significant financial commitment to a game without any guarantee it will be commercially successful. In addition, we have and may continue to enter into licenses with, and make investments in, developers with limited or no history of developing successful games. We may be unable to fully recover upfront and minimum royalty licensing or investment costs if a game is not commercially successful.

For example, during 2007 we entered into several license agreements pursuant to which we were granted rights to distribute online games. Subsequently, however, it became apparent that we would not be able to successfully launch several of these games, and as such, we have taken losses on the license fees we paid for these games. Furthermore, despite our losses, the developers of these games may insist that our obligations under the license agreements continue. Therefore, we may become subject to litigation with the developers of some or all of these online games in the event that we are unable to negotiate an amicable termination of these license agreements.

Furthermore, our ability to successfully license online games that are attractive to users depends in part on our ability to establish relationships with online game developers and to identify games that will be commercially successful and developers capable of producing popular content. It may be difficult to determine whether an online game will appeal to the users in a targeted market, even if it has been successful in other markets. For instance, many games from developers in other markets were not

23

specifically designed for China’s online games market, further complicating the task of identifying games that will appeal to our users in China. Moreover, due to increased competition among online game operators in China and other markets, upfront license fees, royalties and investment costs for licensed games have increased, which we expect will continue, and some developers are demanding guaranteed minimum royalty payments.

If we are not able to consistently license, acquire or develop additional attractive online games with lasting appeal to users, our financial condition and results of operations would be significantly harmed.

If we are unable to maintain stable relationships with the licensors of our online games, our licenses may be terminated or we may experience difficulties with the operation of our existing licensed games, the extension of existing licenses, obtaining licenses for new games and our ability to deliver games to our sublicensees.

We must maintain stable and productive working relationships with our licensors to help ensure that we are able to obtain necessary consents for our subsidiaries to operate games we have licensed, and to help ensure cooperation to operate our games effectively, deliver our games to our sublicensees and access to game upgrades and new online games licenses. For certain of our games, the licensors’ consent is required to permit our subsidiaries to publish the games. Furthermore, many times, an internet content provider license is required to operate an Internet portal under PRC laws and regulations. In such cases the licensors’ consent is necessary to release and operate the game. In addition, we depend on our licensors to provide necessary technical support for the operation of our licensed games as well as expansion packs and upgrades that help to sustain user interest in our online games. For certain of our games, we have granted sublicenses to games distributors. We depend on our licensors to deliver the games to us so that we may fulfill our obligations under our sublicense agreements. Further, in-game marketing activities and gift promotions often require our licensors’ consent. Moreover, some of our licenses may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events, such as failure to commence beta testing or commercially launch the game in a timely manner, failure to make royalty payments, failure to meet certain operating or financial benchmarks, or in the event of a change in control of the licensee. If any of these termination rights are triggered, we may lose rights to a game even if we have expended considerable time and financial resources in developing, marketing and operating that game. If a licensed game is successful during its initial term of operation, we may be unable to obtain an extension of that term on reasonable terms, or at all. If a game license is terminated or we are unable to extend the term of a successful game, the licensor could offer the game itself or enter into a license with one of our competitors. Because most of our licenses only cover one game, we must maintain a stable and productive working relationship with our licensors and continue to offer them competitive terms in order to obtain rights to future games they develop. If we are unable to maintain these relationships, our financial condition and results of operations will be harmed.

For example, on October 17, 2007, Mgame, the licensor of Yulgang, unilaterally announced that they terminated their agreements with CDC Games, alleging breach of contract for non-payment. In October 2007 we filed two lawsuits against Mgame. The first lawsuit alleged breach of contract and that Mgame was not providing adequate technical support for Yulgang, and that Mgame was not supporting CDC Games in its efforts to combat pirate servers. We subsequently filed a second lawsuit alleging that Mgame breached contractual obligations owed to us by failing to provide certain financial and operating data and other information which Mgame is required to provide to us as a shareholder of Mgame. Although we subsequently settled our dispute with Mgame, we cannot assure you that we will not experience disputes with our game developers in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

24

If we are unable to successfully implement our growth strategies or if we are unable to continue our operations in Japan or the United States, our competitiveness may be harmed and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We are currently pursuing or plan to pursue a number of growth strategies, including offering new genres of games and further expanding into international markets. Some of these strategies relate to new products for which there are no established markets in China or are in areas where we lack experience and expertise. Moreover, the development cycle for online games is long, generally ranging from two to four years. The creative process inherent in online games development also makes the length of the development cycle difficult to predict, especially in connection with online games involving new technologies. As a result, we may experience delays in online game introductions from our game developer partners. If the release of an online game is delayed, we may miss an important marketing window, our competitors may be first to introduce a game that competes with our game, we may not achieve anticipated revenues for that game, or we may be required to spend more to accelerate completion of the game, each of which would increase our costs and lower our margins. We may be unable to deliver new products or services in markets where we have no prior experience. Establishing operations in these markets will require meaningful investment and we may be unsuccessful in our efforts. We face several obstacles in our efforts to expand into new markets. Some of these markets, including Japan and the United States where we have recently launched online games, have immature online game markets, or consumers in such markets may prefer playing games on game consoles. This means that online games may not be widely accepted and that the cost to launch games in these markets is higher. If we are unable to successfully implement our growth strategies or if we are unable to continue our operations in Japan or the United States, our competitiveness may be harmed and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

If consumer tastes and preferences move away from online games or the games that we offer, particularly MMORPGs, our revenues and profitability will likely decline.

Our ability to successfully plan for product licensing, distribution and promotional activities depends significantly on our ability to anticipate and adapt to changes in consumer tastes and preferences in the rapidly evolving online games market. MMORPGs are currently one of the most popular genres of online games in China and we expect to continue to rely on MMORPGs, particularly Yulgang, for a significant portion of our revenues in the near future. The popularity of MMORPGs in China may decline, and their current popularity in China may be replaced by new and different types of online or other games. We may be unable to anticipate or adapt to changes in consumer preferences or obtain rights to or market the genres or styles of games that appeal to evolving consumer preferences. A decline in the popularity of online games in general or the games that we offer, particularly MMORPGs, would likely adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

Moreover, we believe casual games are becoming increasingly popular in China. Casual games tend to have shorter commercial lifespans than MMORPGs, thereby increasing the importance of maintaining a consistent pipeline of new games and lowering our ability to leverage successful games over the longer term. We have little experience offering casual games and we cannot assure you that the casual games in our pipeline will be commercially successful.

If we are unable to successfully launch and operate our new online game genres or adapt to new revenue models, our future results of operations will be adversely affected and we may not generate sufficient revenues to consistently introduce new online games.

Our online games currently scheduled for launch in 2008 include fantasy role-playing, action, martial arts and others. We have invested significant financial resources in obtaining rights to these games and plan to invest a significant amount of financial and personnel resources in launching and operating these and other new games. These game genres have limited or no operating history in China and we have no experience offering certain of these game genres. Accordingly, if these games fail to achieve commercial success, our revenues and profitability would be harmed and we may not generate sufficient revenues to consistently introduce new online games, which is critical to our games business.

We were a pioneer of the free-to-play, pay for virtual merchandise, revenue model and substantially all of our online games continue to utilize this model. This type of revenue model requires us to expend significant resources to track consumer tastes and preferences, especially in-game spending trends in order

25

to attract users to play and encourage them to purchase in-game merchandise. If new revenue models develop and attain commercial success in the online games industry in China or in future overseas markets, our current revenue model may be less successful and we may be unable to launch new games or retool our current games to adapt to these new models in a cost-effective manner or at all. This could harm our business and financial results.

Moreover, we anticipate that newly introduced games may result in a portion of our existing customers reducing their spending on our current games or switching to these new games altogether. These effects may be magnified as we attempt to unify our log-in and billing system, which is intended to allow users to use a single account to play and pay for all of our games, and lowers the barriers to shifting among different games on our platform. If this reduction in play or switching of players from our existing games exceeds our expectations, we may have to adjust our marketing, pricing and other business plans. Any revenues generated by new online games may be offset, at least in part, by loss of revenues from our current online games, which may harm our financial condition and results of operations.

We compete with other forms of entertainment, including offline games, television, movies, sports, and the Internet.

There are alternative choices of entertainment in the markets in which we operate such as offline games, television, movies, sports and the Internet, which may be perceived by our target users to offer greater variety, affordability, interactivity and enjoyment. These other forms of entertainment compete for the discretionary income of our target customers. Our target customers may prefer entertainment activities that are conducted at a group or communal setting and our online games, while offering a virtual community, may be unsuccessful in competing against other forms of entertainment that allow for greater human interaction. If we are unable to sustain sufficient interest in our products in comparison to other forms of entertainment, including new forms of entertainment, our business model may no longer be viable.

Undetected programming defects and unsatisfactory customer service could harm our reputation or decrease demand for our online games, which would harm our business.

The online games we operate may contain errors or flaws. This risk may be significantly heightened if we launch a significantly higher number of games in 2008 and 2009 than we have to date. Undetected programming errors, game defects and unsatisfactory customer service can disrupt our operations, adversely affect the game experience of our users, harm our reputation, divert our resources and delay market acceptance of our online games, any of which would harm our business. If our online games contain programming errors or other flaws, our users may stop playing them, may not recommend them to other potential users, and may switch to a competitor’s games.

Unexpected network interruptions, security breaches or computer virus attacks could significantly harm our business, reputation and ability to attract and retain users.

If we fail to maintain satisfactory performance, reliability, security and availability of our network infrastructure, our business, reputation and ability to attract and retain users could be significantly harmed. Major risks involving our network infrastructure include:

• break-downs or system failures resulting in a sustained shutdown of our servers, including failures caused by power shutdowns or efforts to gain unauthorized access to our systems, causing loss or corruption of data or malfunctions of software or hardware;

• disruptions or failures in China’s network infrastructure, which would prevent our users from logging on to our website or operating our games;

• damage from fire, flood, earthquake, power loss and telecommunications failures; and

• computer viruses, hacking and similar events.

Any network interruption or inadequacy that causes interruptions in the availability of, or deterioration in the quality of, our online games services could reduce user satisfaction and our number of

26

users. In addition, any security breach caused by hacking, which involve efforts to gain unauthorized access to information or systems, or to cause intentional malfunctions or loss or corruption of data, software, hardware or other computer equipment could disrupt our services, harm our reputation and cause users to move to our competitors. Inadvertent transmission of computer viruses could expose us to a material risk of loss or litigation and possible liability as well as damage to our reputation. Moreover, we may incur significant costs to protect our systems and equipment against the threat of, and to repair any damage caused by, computer viruses and hacking. Moreover, if hacking or a computer virus affects our systems and is highly publicized, our reputation and brand names could be materially damaged, which could cause us to lose customers and revenues.

Furthermore, increases in user activity could strain our computer systems’ capacity, leading to slower response times or system failures. This could result in a reduced number of users and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation. We may need to incur additional costs to upgrade our computer systems in order to accommodate increased demand. As of December 31, 2007, our servers were co-located at 25 different Internet data center sites in mainland China, and do not have back-up systems located in different cities from our co-location sites.

We primarily depend upon few printing companies to produce our physical prepaid game point cards. If these companies mishandle our cards or the related passcodes or if there are production defects or delays, our reputation and business would be harmed.

Because of the relatively limited availability of online payment systems in China, we depend upon physical prepaid point cards for a significant portion of our revenues. For 2007, physical prepaid point cards accounted for approximately 30% of the total value of prepaid point cards delivered to users. We rely on a limited number of third-party printing companies to produce our physical prepaid point cards. These cards are generally produced in batches of hundreds of thousands with each card having an individual passcode that enables the purchaser to deposit the points on the card into their online user account. If our printers mishandle our cards or the related passcodes, or if there are production defects or delays, our reputation and business would be harmed.

We could be liable for breaches of security in connection with operating our games.

For 2007, virtual point cards accounted for approximately 55% of the total value of prepaid point cards delivered to users. Currently a substantial portion of our virtual point card sales are conducted through the internet. Secure transmission of confidential information over public networks is essential to maintain consumer confidence. This information includes customer credit or bank card numbers, personal information and billing addresses. Our current security measures may be inadequate to protect such information. Security breaches could expose us to litigation and potential liability for failing to secure confidential user information and could harm our reputation and ability to attract users.

We rely on third parties to provide us with distribution and server hosting services and any disruption or deterioration of these services could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our users are located throughout China, and because of the limited forms of payment available in China, we rely largely on local distributors to deliver our physical prepaid game point cards to users. For the year ended December 31, 2007, our top five and top 10 distributors accounted for 50% and 80%, respectively, of our total prepaid game point card sales. We do not prohibit our regional distributors from distributing other online game operators’ prepaid cards and we do not have long-term agreements with any of our distributors. Although we endeavor to seek reputable and reliable distributors, we cannot monitor all of our distributors and their distribution activities. Moreover, these distributors may mishandle our cards or related pass codes, or encounter difficulties in delivery that are beyond their or our control. The occurrence of any of these events may harm our reputation and business.

Moreover, we principally rely on China Telecom and China Netcom to provide us with data communications capacity primarily through telecommunications access and Internet data centers to host our servers. We do not have access to alternative services in the event of disruptions, failures or other problems

27

with the fixed telecommunications networks of China Telecom and China Netcom, or if China Telecom or China Netcom otherwise fail to provide such services. Any unscheduled service interruption or performance issues could disrupt our operations, damage our reputation and result in a decrease in our revenues. Furthermore, we have no control over the costs of the services provided by China Telecom and China Netcom. If the prices that we pay for telecommunications and Internet services rise significantly, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, if Internet access fees or other charges to Internet users increase, our user traffic may decrease, which in turn may harm our revenues.

Illegal game servers could materially and adversely affect the business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations of our online games segment.

We increasingly face the risks of illegal game servers at our CDC Games business unit. Some Internet cafés have misappropriated our game server installation software. Several competitors have reported instances of Internet cafés installing illegal copies of competitors’ games on the cafés’ servers and letting their customers play such games on illegal servers without paying for game playing time. Although we have made efforts to shut down illegal game servers across China, we have not been completely successful in our efforts. Also, the intellectual property enforcement regime in China is not as robust as that of the United States, and we continue to face considerable challenges to enforcing our intellectual property rights. Enforcement actions generally require cooperation from local authorities, which are sometimes unwilling to use their limited resources to enforce the intellectual property rights of national corporations against individuals or companies in their districts. In addition, litigation proceedings are often necessary to enforce intellectual property rights, which can be very expensive. Despite our efforts to shut down illegal game servers, we believe that a significant number of illegal game servers may continue to operate unauthorized copies of our online games. The continued operation of our online games by illegal game servers, or the operation of any new games that we may introduce by illegal game servers, may materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition and adversely affect our results of operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify and eliminate new illegal game servers and unauthorized character enhancements in a timely manner, or at all.

If our licensors fail to protect, enforce or maintain their intellectual property rights, our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We expect to derive substantially all of our online games revenues and profits from Yulgang, Special Force, Shaiya and other licensed online games in 2008. The licensors of these games may be subject to intellectual property rights claims with respect to the online games licensed to us. In addition, the license by which these licensors obtained their rights may be terminated or expire. If intellectual property rights claims brought against our licensors are successful and our licensors are precluded from continuing to offer a game we license, or if one of our licensors loses its license to a game, we may be unable to continue offering that game, causing us to lose our investment in, and potential revenues from, that game. We may also be liable for damages to the third-party owner of the game. In certain licensing agreements, we are also responsible for indemnifying our licensors for costs or liabilities resulting from claims of infringement of trademark, copyright or intellectual property. If we lose rights to one or more games, our business financial condition and our results of operations could be harmed.

28

Unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties, and the expenses incurred in protecting our intellectual property rights, may adversely affect our business.

We regard our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, domain names and other intellectual property as important to our business. Unauthorized use of intellectual property, whether owned by us or licensed to us, may reduce our revenues, devalue our brands and property, and harm our reputation. We rely on intellectual property laws and contractual arrangements with our key employees and certain of our licensors, partners, manufacturers, distributors and others to protect our intellectual property rights. Policing unauthorized use of intellectual property is difficult and expensive. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for third parties to obtain and use the intellectual property used in our business without authorization. The validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property in Internet-related industries in China and certain other countries are uncertain and still evolving and may not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws and enforcement procedures in the United States. Moreover, we may not prevail in any litigation that we undertake to enforce our intellectual property rights, and such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of our management resources.

We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims, which may force us to incur substantial legal expenses and, if determined adversely against us, may materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our products and services could be found to infringe on the patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others. We may incur substantial expenses in investigating and defending against third-party infringement claims, regardless of their merit. Litigation or other dispute resolution proceedings may be necessary to retain our ability to offer our current and future games, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our financial and management resources. Furthermore, if we are found to have violated the intellectual property rights of others, we may be enjoined from using such intellectual property rights, incur additional costs to license or develop alternative games, characters or features and be forced to pay fines and damages, any of which could harm our business and results of operations.

We experience significant seasonality and our quarterly financial results may not be representative of annual financial performance.

The PRC online games market is characterized by increased user activity during seasonal periods primarily related to student examination schedules and the Lunar New Year holidays in China. We normally experience our highest online games sales volumes in March and September, when many of our users increase their playing after commencement of the school term. Correspondingly, our online games sales tend to be lower during holiday periods such as Lunar New Year, which falls in January or February, as well as immediately preceding and during school examination periods, which typically fall in June. As a result of this seasonality, our quarterly financial results may substantially fluctuate and our interim financial performance may not be indicative due to the seasonality of our revenues. We believe the seasonal variability in our financial results will continue in the future.

Negative publicity in China regarding online games could lead to additional government regulations that may have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The media in China has reported incidents of violent crimes allegedly inspired by online games, as well as incidents of theft of online game virtual items among users. In addition, incidents of excessive online game playing and allegations that online games distract students and interfere with their education have also been reported in the media. This negative publicity has contributed to several regulatory initiatives, such as:

• In June 2005, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Information Industry jointly issued an opinion which requires online game operators to develop systems and software for identity certification, to implement anti-addiction modifications to game rules and to restrict players under eighteen years of age from playing certain games.

29

• In August 2005, the General Administration of Press and Publications, or GAPP, proposed an online game anti-addiction system that would have reduced and eliminated experience points that a user can accumulate after three and five hours of consecutive playing, respectively.

• In March 2006, GAPP amended its proposal to require players to register with their real names and identity card numbers and to apply the anti-addiction system only to players under eighteen years of age.

• In April 2007 GAPP adopted the Online Game Anti-addiction System Development Standard which we were required to comply with by July 2007.

Anti-addiction laws and regulations in China could have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On April 5, 2007, eight PRC governmental agencies, including the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Information Industry, the General Administration of Press and Publication and the Ministry of Public Security jointly promulgated the Notice on the Implementation of Online Game Anti-Addiction System to Protect the Physical and Psychological Health of Minors. Under this anti-addiction notice, all online game operators, including us, are required to develop a system according to the Online Game Anti-addiction System Development Standard, which was released as an attachment to the notice, and the corresponding Identity Authentication Scheme of the anti-addiction system developed for our online games is aimed to reduce “fatigue time” and “unhealthy time” such that, when a user under the age of 18 has been playing an online game for more than three consecutive hours, he or she will automatically be sent periodic warnings within the game environment prompting him or her to leave the game and rest. Such warnings will become more frequent as the user accumulates more playing time. In addition, this system will cause the rate at which the game user can obtain experience points and other virtual items such as special equipment to decrease to half the normal levels during the “fatigue time” period and to zero during the “unhealthy time” period. In addition, anti-addiction laws and regulations may apply or may develop in certain overseas markets in which we conduct our business and could have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations in such markets.

Also, in March 2006, the Chinese government announced an authentication system which requires all players to enter their identification card numbers before being allowed to play online games. This authentication system as well as the new anti-addiction regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditional and results of operations.

Acquisitions and investments may have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our business.

Our growth strategy involves the acquisition of, and investments in, new technologies, businesses, products and services, or the creation of strategic alliances in areas which we do not currently operate. We have limited experience in evaluating investments in gaming companies and integrating acquired companies or assets into our business. Accordingly, we believe that investment, acquisition and integration will require significant attention from our management and could require that our management develop expertise in new areas and manage new business relationships. The diversion of our management’s attention and any difficulties encountered in the integration process could have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our business.

Acquisitions and investments will also expose us to potential risks, including risks associated with:

• the assimilation of new operations, technologies and personnel;

• unforeseen or hidden liabilities;

• the financial loss of our investment or the failure to receive any benefit from our investment;

• the diversion of resources from our existing businesses, sites and technologies;

• the inability to generate sufficient revenues to offset the costs and expenses of acquisitions; and

30

• the potential loss of, or harm to, our relationships with employees, customers, licensors and other suppliers as a result of integration of new businesses.

Our ability to grow through acquisitions or investments will depend on the availability of suitable acquisition and investment candidates at an acceptable cost, our ability to compete effectively to attract these candidates, and the availability of financing to complete larger acquisitions or investments. The benefits of an acquisition or investment may also take considerable time to develop and we cannot assure you that any particular acquisition or investment will produce the intended benefits, if any.

We may be unable to compete successfully against new entrants and established industry competitors.

We face intense competition in the online games market in China. We believe there are currently over 150 online game operators in China operating over 400 games and given that the growth prospects of the online game market in China are very high, we expect many more companies to enter the market. Our competitors vary in size and include large companies such as Shanda Interactive Entertainment Limited, Netease.com, Inc., The9 Limited, Perfect World Co., Ltd., Giant Group and Tencent, many of which have significantly greater financial, marketing and game development resources and name recognition than we have. As a result, we may be unable to devote adequate resources to developing, licensing or acquiring new games, undertaking extensive marketing campaigns, adopting aggressive pricing policies, paying high compensation to game developers or compensating independent game developers to the same degree as some of our competitors. Any of our competitors may offer online games with better game performance, more attractive pricing, more developed storylines or other improvements over the games offered or to be offered by us. In addition, the increased competition we anticipate in the online game industry may also reduce the number of our users or growth rate of our user base, reduce the average revenues generated by our users, or cause us to reduce our fees. All of these competitive factors could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The limited use of personal computers in China and the relatively high cost of Internet access with respect to per capita income may limit the development of the Internet in China and impede our growth.

Although the use of personal computers in China has increased in recent years, the penetration rate for personal computers in China is much lower than that in the United States. In addition, despite a decrease in the cost of Internet access in China due to a decrease in the cost of personal computers and the introduction and expansion of broadband access, the cost of Internet access remains relatively high in comparison to the average per capita income in China. The limited use of personal computers in China and the relatively high cost of Internet access may limit the potential number of users and therefore the growth of our business. Furthermore, any increase in the cost of Internet access or personal computers or a decline or slowdown of the China economy, which could affect our users or potential users disposable income, could reduce the number of users or potential users that play or may play our online games.

The PRC government has announced its intention, and has begun, to intensify its regulation of Internet cafés, which are an important venue for our users to play online games. Intensified government regulation of Internet cafés could restrict our ability to maintain or increase our revenues and expand our customer base.

In April 2001, the PRC government began tightening its regulation and supervision of Internet cafés. In particular, a large number of unlicensed Internet cafés have been closed. In addition, the PRC government has imposed higher capital and facility requirements for the establishment of Internet cafés. Furthermore, the PRC government’s policy, which encourages the development of a limited number of national and regional Internet café chains and discourages the establishment of independent Internet cafés, may slow down the growth of Internet cafés. Recently, the State Administration of Industry and Commerce, one of the government agencies in charge of Internet café licensing, issued a notice suspending the issuance of new Internet café licenses. It is unclear when this suspension will be lifted, if at all. So long as Internet cafés are the primary venue for our users to play online games, any reduction in the number, or any slowdown in the growth, of Internet cafés in China could limit our ability to maintain or increase our revenues and expand our customer base, thereby reducing our profitability and growth prospects.

Currently there are no laws or regulations in the PRC specifically governing virtual asset property rights and therefore, it is not clear what liabilities, if any, online game operators may have for virtual assets.

31

In the course of playing online games, some virtual assets, such as special equipment, player experience grades and other features of our users’ game characters, are acquired and accumulated. These virtual assets can be important to online game players and in some cases are exchanged between players for monetary value. In practice, virtual assets can be lost for various reasons, often through unauthorized use of the game account of one user by other users and occasionally through data loss caused by a delay of network service or by a network crash. Currently there are no PRC laws and regulations specifically governing virtual asset property rights. As a result, it is unclear who is the legal owner of virtual assets and whether and how the ownership of virtual assets is protected by law. In case of a loss of virtual assets, we may be sued by online game players and may be held liable for damages, which may negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Due to the lack of laws or regulations in the PRC specifically governing virtual asset property rights we also could face an increase in customer complaints related to loss of virtual assets which could cause a substantial increase in workload for us, loss of customers and our reputation could be tarnished.

We may be unable to respond to future changes in the revenue model for the online games industry in China and in our overseas markets, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We pioneered the free-to-play revenue model for online games in China. Our existing games, and many other future games that we intend to release, operate under this revenue model. Under the free-to-play revenue model, users can play our massively multiplayer online games, or MMOGs, for free but have the option to purchase in-game virtual items and value-added services to enhance their overall game playing experience. If any new revenue models develop in the online games industry in China or in our overseas markets, we may be unable to launch new games utilizing such new models in a timely manner or at all. We may also be required to expend significant resources to launch such games. In addition, we may unable to adapt our current games to such new models. Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Acts of cheating by users of online games could lessen the popularity of our online games, adversely affect our reputation and our results of operations.

Cheating in online games may occur through a variety of methods, by which cheaters may be able to modify the rules of our online games during game play in a manner that allows them to gain an unfair advantage over our other online game users, which often has the effect of causing players to stop using the game and shortening the game’s lifecycle. Although we have taken a number of steps to deter our users from engaging in cheating when playing our online games, we cannot assure you that we or the third parties from whom we license some of our online games will be successful or timely in taking corrective steps necessary to prevent users from modifying the terms of our online games.

Risks Relating to our China.com Segment

The portal markets in China are highly competitive. If we fail to compete effectively, our failure could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In our portal business, our competition for user traffic, ease of use and functionality include Chinese and/or English language based Web search and retrieval companies, including AltaVista Co., Apple Daily, ChinaByte, FindWhat.com, Lycos, Inc., MSN, Netease.com, Inc., Shanghai Online, Sina Corporation, Sohu.com, Inc., Tom Online Inc. and Yahoo!, Inc., Oak Pacific Interactive, 21CN.com and qianlong.com.

Many of our competitors have more experience and longer operating histories in our target markets than us, as well as greater name recognition, larger customer bases and greater financial, technical and marketing resources. We may not be able to compete successfully in these markets. Our failure to remain competitive may cause us to lose our market share in the portals business, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer.

Our China.com and other portal businesses depend substantially on third party content providers and may be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain existing arrangements with these content providers.

32

We rely on third parties to create traffic and provide content for our portal network to make it more attractive to advertisers and consumers. Our content providers include Xinhua, a major shareholder of CDC, as well as commercial content providers and our registered community members. If Xinhua or these third parties fail to provide us with high quality content, our portal network could lose viewers, subscribers and advertisers and our revenue from these sources would decrease. Our existing relationships with Xinhua and other commercial content providers are not exclusive and may not result in sustained business partnerships or successful service offerings or sustained traffic on our portal network or future revenues.

Risk Relating to Our Online Games and China.com Segments as a Result of Conducting Operations in the People’s Republic of China

China’s economic, political and social conditions, as well as government policies, could affect our business.

While the economy in the PRC has experienced significant growth in the past twenty years, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall PRC economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us.

The economy in the PRC has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although in recent years the PRC government has implemented measures that emphasize the utilization of market forces for economic reform, reduce the state ownership of productive assets and help establish sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in the PRC is still owned by the government. In addition, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

Our financial results have been, and are expected to continue to be, affected by the growth of the economy and the Internet industry in China. A slowdown of economic growth in China would reduce the growth of the Internet industry and related products and services, which in turn could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including:

• higher level of government involvement;

• early stage of development of a market-oriented economy;

• rapid growth rate;

• higher level of control on foreign exchange; and

• less efficient allocation of resources.

The PRC government has also implemented certain measures to control the pace of economic growth. These measures may cause decreased economic activity in China, including a slowing or decline in consumer spending, which in turn could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Regulation and censorship of information distribution over the Internet in China may adversely affect our business, and we may be liable for information displayed on, retrieved from, or linked to our website.

The online game and Internet content distribution industries in China are highly regulated by the PRC government. Various regulatory authorities of the central PRC government, such as the State Council, the Ministry of Information Industry, the State Administration of Industry and Commerce, the State Press and Publication Administration, and the Ministry of Public Security, are empowered to issue and implement regulations governing various aspects of each of these industries.

33

China has enacted laws and regulations governing Internet access and the distribution of news, information or other content, as well as products and services, through the Internet. The PRC government has previously stopped the distribution of information through the Internet that it deems in violation of PRC laws and regulations. Under regulations promulgated by the State Council, the Ministry of Information Industry, the State Press and Publication Administration and the Ministry of Culture, Internet content providers and Internet publishers are prohibited from posting or displaying over the Internet, content that, among other things:

• opposes the fundamental principles in the PRC Constitution;

• compromises state security, divulges state secrets, subverts state power or damages national unity;

• harms the dignity or interests of the state;

• incites ethnic hatred or racial discrimination or damages inter-ethnic unity;

• sabotages China’s religious policy or propagates heretical teachings or feudal superstition;

• disseminates rumors, disturbs social order or disrupts social stability;

• propagates obscenity, pornography, gambling, violence, murder or fear or incites the commission of crimes;

• undermines public morality or the cultural traditions of the PRC;

• insults or slanders a third party or infringes upon the lawful right of a third party; and

• includes other content prohibited by laws or administrative regulations.

The mobile network operators in the PRC also have their own policies regarding the distribution of inappropriate content by wireless value-added service providers and have recently sanctioned certain providers for distributing inappropriate content, including the imposition of fines and service suspensions.

If any Internet content we offer or will offer through our affiliated PRC entities were deemed by the PRC government or the mobile network operators to violate any of such content restrictions, we would not be able to continue such offerings and could be subject to penalties, including confiscation of income, fines, suspension of business and revocation of required licenses, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, we may face liability for defamation, negligence, copyright, patent or trademark infringement and other claims based on the nature and content of information originating from our online games network or portal network.

We may also be subject to potential liability for any unlawful actions of our clients or affiliates or for content we distribute that is deemed inappropriate. It may be difficult to determine the type of content that may result in liability for us, and if we were found to be liable, we may be prevented from operating our online game and internet and media services in China. Such content could include material posted by our registered community members on our message boards, online communities, voting systems, e-mail or chat rooms. By providing technology for hypertext links to third-party websites, we may be held liable for copyright or trademark violations by those third-party sites. Third parties could assert claims against us for losses incurred in reliance on erroneous information distributed by us. Users of our web-based e-mail or SMS, MMS, WAP or IVR products could seek damages for:

• unsolicited e-mail or messages;

• lost or misplaced messages;

34

• illegal or fraudulent use of e-mail or SMS messages; or

• interruptions or delays in service.

We do not carry liability insurance to cover potential claims of these types. In the event such claims are asserted against us, we may incur significant costs in investigating and contesting these claims. Any judgment, fine, damage award or liability imposed on us could significantly increase our costs. Moreover, our reputation may suffer as a result of these claims, which could reduce traffic on our portal network or reduce our revenues.

Because many laws, regulations and legal requirements with regard to the Internet in the PRC are relatively new and untested, their interpretation and enforcement of what is deemed to be socially destabilizing by Chinese authorities may involve significant uncertainty. In addition, the legal system in the PRC is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedential value. As a result, it is difficult to determine the type of content that may result in liability. We cannot predict the effect of further developments in the Chinese legal system, particularly with regard to the Internet and the dissemination of news content, including the creation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the pre-emption of local rules and regulations by national laws.

Violations or perceived violations of laws in China arising from information displayed, retrieved from or linked to our portals could result in significant penalties, including a temporary or permanent cessation of our business in China. The Chinese government agencies have announced restrictions on the transmission of state secrets through the Internet. State secrets have been broadly interpreted by Chinese governmental authorities in the past. We may be liable under these pronouncements for content and materials posted or transmitted by users on our message boards, virtual communities, chat rooms or e-mails. If the Chinese government were to take any action to limit or eliminate the distribution of information through our portal network or to limit or regulate any current or future applications available to users on our portal network, this action could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Government control of currency conversion may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively.

Substantially all of the revenues and operating expenses of our CDC Games and China.com businesses, are denominated in Renminbi. The Renminbi is currently convertible to foreign exchange with respect to “current account” transactions, but not with respect to “capital account” transactions. Current account transactions include ordinary course import/export transactions, payments for services rendered and payments of license fees, royalties, interest on loans and dividends. Capital account transactions include cross-border investments and repayments of principal of loans. Currently, our PRC subsidiaries may purchase foreign exchange for settlement of “current account transactions,” including payment of dividends to us and payment of license fees to content licensors, without the approval of the State Administration for Foreign Exchange, or SAFE. Our PRC subsidiaries may also retain foreign exchange in their current accounts, subject to a ceiling approved by SAFE, to satisfy foreign exchange liabilities or to pay dividends. However, the relevant PRC governmental authorities may limit or eliminate the ability for our PRC subsidiaries to purchase and retain foreign currencies in the future. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account remain subject to limitations and require approvals from or registration with SAFE. This could affect our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to obtain debt or equity financing from outside the PRC, including by means of loans or capital contributions from us.

Fluctuations in exchange rates could materially and adversely affect the value of our common shares and result in foreign currency exchange losses.

Because our earnings and cash and cash equivalent assets earned or held in the PRC are denominated in Renminbi, appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. In July 2005, the PRC government discontinued pegging the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. However, the Renminbi exchange rate versus the U.S. dollar is restricted to a rise or fall of no more than 0.3% per day and the People’s Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign

35

exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate. Nevertheless, the Renminbi may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future, PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the Renminbi exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend we may issue that will be exchanged into U.S. dollars and earnings from and the value of any future U.S. dollar-denominated investments we make.

Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. While we may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedging transactions may be limited and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all. In addition, our currency exchange losses may be magnified by Chinese exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert Renminbi into foreign currency.

Recent PRC regulations relating to offshore investment activities by PRC residents may increase the administrative burden we face and create regulatory uncertainties that could restrict our overseas and cross-border investment activity, and a failure by our shareholders who are PRC residents to make any required applications and filings pursuant to such regulations may prevent us from being able to distribute profits and could expose us and our PRC resident shareholders to liability under PRC law.

In October 2005, SAFE promulgated regulations that require PRC residents and PRC corporate entities to register with and obtain approvals from relevant PRC government authorities in connection with their direct or indirect offshore investment activities. These regulations apply to our shareholders who are PRC residents in connection with our prior and any future offshore acquisitions.

The SAFE regulation required registration by March 31, 2006 of direct or indirect investments previously made by PRC residents in offshore companies prior to the implementation of the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fund-Raising and Reverse Investment Activities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies on November 1, 2005. If a PRC shareholder with a direct or indirect stake in an offshore parent company fails to make the required SAFE registration, the PRC subsidiaries of such offshore parent company may be prohibited from making distributions of profit to the offshore parent and from paying the offshore parent proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation in respect of the PRC subsidiaries. Furthermore, failure to comply with the various SAFE registration requirements described above could result in liability under PRC law for foreign exchange evasion.

These regulations are still relatively new and there is uncertainty concerning the reconciliation of the new regulation with other approval requirements, it is unclear how the regulation, and any future legislation concerning offshore or cross-border transactions, will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant government authorities. Some of our shareholders may not comply with our request to make or obtain any applicable registrations or approvals required by the regulation or other related legislation. The failure or inability of our PRC resident shareholders to obtain any required approvals or make any required registrations may subject us to fines and legal sanctions, prevent us from being able to make distributions or pay dividends, as a result of which our business operations and our ability to distribute profits to you could be materially and adversely affected.

We rely on contractual arrangements, including a voting proxy, with our affiliated PRC entities for the control and operation of our online games and Internet content distribution businesses. These arrangements may be difficult to enforce under the PRC legal system. If any of our affiliated PRC entities fails to perform its obligations under these contractual arrangements, we may have to try to legally enforce such arrangements, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected if these arrangements cannot be enforced.

Foreign ownership in the Internet content distribution and online game businesses is subject to significant restrictions under current PRC laws and regulations. The PRC government regulates Internet access, the distribution of online information, the conduct of online commerce and the provision of online game services through strict business licensing requirements and other government regulations. These laws and regulations also include limitations on foreign ownership in PRC companies that provide Internet content distribution and online game services. Specifically, foreign investors are not allowed to own more than a 50% equity interest in any Internet content provision business.

36

Because we are a Cayman Islands company, we and our PRC subsidiaries and their branch companies in China are treated as foreign or foreign-invested enterprises under PRC laws and regulations. To comply with PRC laws and regulations, we conduct our operations in China through a series of contractual arrangements entered into among our PRC subsidiaries. These licenses held by our affiliated PRC entities are essential to the operation of our business.

Generally, employees of the respective business units who are Chinese nationals own the shares of the respective domestically registered companies in China which hold the relevant required domestic licenses for operation. These Chinese nationals, in turn, have entered into trust deed arrangements with respect to the domestically registered companies in China and affiliates of the respective business units under which the Chinese nationals serve as trustees of the trusts, and the business units have formed offshore holding vehicles to be 100% beneficiaries of the trusts. For a further description of the corporate structure in China, see Item 4.C., “Information on the Company – Organizational Structure – Corporate Structure in China for our CDC Games and China.com Business Units.”

CDC Games and China.com have no ownership interest in our affiliated PRC entities. These contractual arrangements, including the voting proxies granted to us, may not be as effective in providing us with control over these companies as direct ownership. If we were the controlling shareholders of these companies with direct ownership, we would be able to exercise our rights as shareholders to effect changes in the board of directors, which in turn could effect change, subject to any applicable fiduciary obligations, at the management level. However, under the current contractual arrangements, as a legal matter, if any of our affiliated PRC entities fails to perform its obligations under these contractual arrangements, we may have to (i) incur substantial costs and resources to enforce such arrangements, including the voting proxy, and (ii) rely on legal remedies under PRC law, which we cannot be sure would be effective. In the event that CDC Games and China.com are unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, if these contractual arrangements are held to be unenforceable under PRC or Hong Kong laws or regulations or if we suffer significant time delays or other obstacles in the process of enforcing these contractual arrangements, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

If our past or current business operation structure is found not to comply with PRC laws and regulations, we could be subject to severe penalties, including the shutting down of our servers.

The relevant PRC regulatory authorities have broad discretion in determining whether a particular contractual structure is in violation of law. If our past or current ownership structures, contractual arrangements and businesses, or those of our PRC subsidiaries and our affiliated PRC entities are found to be in violation of PRC laws or regulations, the relevant regulatory authorities would have broad discretion in dealing with such violations, including:

• revoking the business and operating licenses of our PRC subsidiaries or affiliated PRC entities, which licenses are essential to our business operations;

• levying fines;

• confiscating our income or the income of our PRC subsidiaries or affiliated PRC entities;

• shutting down our servers and/or blocking our website;

• discontinuing or restricting our operations or the operations of our PRC subsidiaries or affiliated PRC entities;

• imposing conditions or requirements with which we, our PRC subsidiaries or our affiliated PRC entities may not be able to comply;

• requiring us, our PRC subsidiaries or our affiliated PRC entities to restructure the relevant ownership structure, operations or contractual arrangements;

37

• restricting or prohibiting our use of the proceeds from any offering we may make to finance our business and operations in China; and

• taking other regulatory or enforcement actions that could be harmful to our business.

Moreover, we could face material and adverse tax consequences if the PRC tax authorities determine that our undocumented or documented arrangements with our affiliated PRC entities were not priced at arm’s length for purposes of determining tax liability. If the PRC tax authorities determine that these arrangements were not entered into on an arm’s length basis, they may perform a transfer pricing adjustment. A transfer pricing adjustment could result in a reduction, for PRC tax purposes, of deductions recorded by our affiliated PRC entities, which could adversely affect us by increasing the tax liabilities of our affiliated PRC entities without reducing the tax liabilities of our PRC subsidiaries. This increased tax liability could further result in late payment fees and other penalties to our affiliated PRC entities for under-paid taxes. Any payments we make under these arrangements or adjustments in payments under these arrangements that we may decide to make in the future will be subject to the same risk.

Any of these actions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If the Chinese government considers our existing licenses to be insufficient in meeting compliance requirements with applicable regulations, or if we fail to comply with changes to these requirements or restrictions, our online games and Internet businesses could be materially adversely affected.

The Chinese government regulates access to the Internet by imposing strict licensing requirements on Internet service providers, or ISPs. Generally, the provision of different types of infrastructure telecommunication services and value-added telecommunication services is subject to different licensing regimes in China.

While we believe that our current operation complies with all existing laws, rules and regulations in China, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation of current Internet laws and regulations. It is possible the Chinese government may take a view contrary to ours because there are no well established precedents or clear judicial interpretations to support our interpretations and views of the laws, rules and regulations. Issues, risks and uncertainties relating to government regulation of China’s Internet sector include:

• regulations applying to Internet-related services and telecom-related activities. While many aspects of these regulations remain unclear, they purport to limit and require licensing of various aspects of the provision of Internet information services. If these regulations are interpreted to preclude our current ownership structure or business model, our portal business could be severely impaired; and

• the activities of ICPs are subject to regulation by various government authorities in China depending on the specific activities conducted by the ICP as stated by the Ministry of Information and Industry. Various government authorities have enacted several laws and regulations that govern these activities. The areas of regulation include:

• online advertising;

• online news reporting;

• online publishing;

• online securities trading;

• online gaming;

• online broadcasting;

• bulletin board service; and

38

• the provision of industry-specific information (e.g., pharmaceutical products) over the Internet, etc.

Other aspects of our online operations may be subject to regulation in the future.

In addition to the regulations promulgated by the Chinese national government, some local governments, such as the Beijing local government, have also promulgated local rules applicable to Internet companies operating within their respective jurisdictions. These local rules may also create additional barriers in relation to the operation of our business.

Our ability to use and enjoy assets held by our affiliated PRC entities that are important to the operation of our business may be reduced or lost, particularly if any of these entities goes bankrupt or becomes subject to a dissolution or liquidation proceedings.

As part of our contractual arrangements with our affiliated PRC entities, they are required to hold certain of the assets that are important to the operation of our business.

Our PRC subsidiaries and affiliated PRC entities are required under PRC laws and regulations to provide for certain statutory reserves, such as a general reserve, an enterprise expansion fund and a staff welfare and bonus fund. Our PRC subsidiaries and affiliated PRC entities are required to allocate at least 10% of their after tax profits as reported in their PRC statutory financial statements to the general reserve and have the right to discontinue allocations to the general reserve once the reserve balance has reached 50% of their registered capital. These statutory reserves are not available for distribution to the shareholders of these companies, except in a liquidation, and may not be transferred in the form of loans, advances, or cash dividends.

Further, if any of these entities incurs substantial debt, the instruments governing such debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us; and if any of these entities goes bankrupt and all or part of its assets become subject to liens or rights of third-party creditors, we may be unable to continue some or all of our business activities, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of our affiliated PRC entities undergoes a voluntary or involuntary liquidation proceeding, the shareholders or unrelated third-party creditors may claim rights to some or all of these assets. Any of the foregoing, thereby hindering our ability to operate our business, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The discontinuation of any of the preferential tax treatments currently available to us in the PRC could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our subsidiaries incorporated in China are governed by the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law Concerning Foreign-Invested Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises.

Our subsidiary, Beijing He He Technology Co., Ltd. has enjoyed preferential tax treatment as a “new technology enterprise” pursuant to which its net income was exempted from enterprise income tax from 2003 to 2005, and will be subject to a 7.5% enterprise income tax rate from 2006 to 2008 and a 15% enterprise income tax rate thereafter so long as it maintains its status as a new technology enterprise. In addition, our subsidiary and our affiliated PRC entity have applied for the same preferential tax treatment as new technology enterprises pursuant to which their net income will be exempt from enterprise income tax from 2006 to 2008, and will be subject to a 7.5% enterprise income tax rate from 2009 to 2011 and a 15% enterprise income tax rate thereafter, if they are approved as new technology enterprises and so long as they maintain their new technology enterprise status.

The financial and non-financial criteria that our subsidiary must meet in order to obtain or maintain preferential tax treatment as new technology enterprises are promulgated by the PRC Ministry of Science and Technology, and are as follows:

• the enterprise must engage in the research, development, production and the provision of technical services for, one or more high technology products. Pure commercial distribution of such technology products is not sufficient;

39

• the enterprise must be a legal entity;

• scientific and technical personnel with college and university education must account for more than 30% of the enterprise’s total employees. Scientific and technical personnel engaged in the research and development of high and new technology products must account for more than 10% of the enterprise’s total employees;

• more than 5% of the gross revenue of the enterprise shall have been allotted as research and development expenses of high and new technology products;

• more than 60% of the enterprise’s gross annual revenues shall have been generated from the provision of technical services for, and sales of, high and new technology products, and the investment of any newly established enterprises in high and new technology-related areas must account for more than 60% of the enterprise’s total investment amount; and

• the persons in charge of the enterprise should be familiar with and focus on the research, development, production and sale of the products in their enterprise.

While we expect our subsidiaries and affiliated PRC entities to be able to enjoy their respective preferential tax rates or tax exemptions, this preferred tax treatment is subject to review by higher authorities. We cannot assure you that the PRC tax authorities will not, in the future, deny or elect to discontinue any or all of these preferential tax treatments. In the event the preferential tax treatment for any of our subsidiaries or affiliated PRC entities is discontinued, the entity will become subject to a 33% standard enterprise income tax rate. The discontinuation of any of these preferential tax treatments could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The PRC legal system embodies uncertainties, which could limit the legal protections available to you and us.

The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have limited precedential value. In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past three decades has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in mainland China. Our PRC operating subsidiaries include several wholly foreign owned enterprises and are subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China as well as laws and regulations applicable to foreign-invested enterprises. In particular, they are subject to the laws and regulations governing foreign companies’ ownership and operation of Internet content distribution and advertising businesses. These laws and regulations frequently change, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us and our investors. In addition, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the PRC legal system, particularly with regard to the Internet, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws.

We have limited insurance coverage in China. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and the diversion of our resources.

The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development and PRC insurance companies offer limited business insurance products. As a result, we do not maintain insurance policies covering losses relating to our systems and we do not have business liability, interruption or litigation insurance for our operations in China. To improve the performance and to prevent disruption of our services, we may have to make substantial investments to deploy additional servers. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in our incurring substantial costs and the diversion of our resources.

Concerns about the security of electronic commerce transactions and confidentiality of information on the Internet may reduce use of our network and impede our growth.

40

A significant barrier to electronic commerce and communications over the Internet in the PRC has been a public concern over security and privacy, especially the transmission of confidential information. If these concerns are not adequately addressed, they may inhibit the growth of the Internet and other online services generally, especially as a means of conducting commercial transactions. If a well-publicized Internet breach of security were to occur, general Internet usage could decline, which could reduce traffic to our destination sites and impede our growth.

Risks Relating to Our Intellectual Property, Personnel, Technology and Network

We may be unable to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights and may be involved in future litigation over our use of technology rights.

We have acquired a significant amount of intellectual property and we are increasingly developing our own intellectual property. We regard the protection of our trademarks, service marks, copyrights, trade secrets, domain names, and other intellectual property rights as crucial to our success. We rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions and other similar measures to protect our proprietary information and technology. Copyrights or trademarks held by us, however, may be challenged or determined to be invalid. In addition to the protections generally available to unregistered trademarks under the laws of many jurisdictions, we also seek to protect our trademarks through registration, primarily in the United States and Canada, although we do seek such protection elsewhere in selected key markets. However, adequate protection for our intellectual property may not be available in any, or every country, in which our intellectual property and technology is used. Some countries, such as the PRC, may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as in the United States and Canada. In particular, software piracy in the PRC has been an issue of significant concern for many software publishers. Policing the unauthorized use of our licensed technology is difficult as are the steps necessary to prevent the misappropriation or infringement of our licensed technology.

Litigation, which may also ultimately prove to be insufficient, may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of our proprietary rights. Any of these claims, with or without merit, could result in costly litigation, divert our management’s time, attention and resources, delay our product shipments or require us to enter into royalty or license agreements.

As part of our confidentiality procedures, we have policies of entering into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, corporate alliance members, customers, prospective customers and strategic partners. We also enter into license agreements with respect to our technology, documentation and other proprietary information. These licenses are non-exclusive and generally perpetual. We provide for source code escrow arrangements under some of our license agreements. Despite the efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain the use of our products or technology that we consider proprietary and third parties may attempt to develop similar technology independently.

Most of our products do not contain the functionality to allow us to accurately track the numbers of users of our products at a particular customer site. Because some of our license agreements are for named-user licenses in which only a certain limited number of named individuals are permitted to use the software for which the license is granted, if our customers do not accurately report the number of users using our products or we cannot accurately track the number of users of our products at a customer site, we face the potential of lost revenues if the customer has a greater number of users than for which they have purchased licenses. License agreement provisions, such as those requesting or requiring customers to perform annual self audits of the number of users at a customer site, provide only limited protection and are retrospective.

We also currently sub-license and distribute the intellectual property and technology of third parties. As we continue to develop intellectual property and introduce new products and services that require new technology, we anticipate that we may need to obtain licenses for additional third-party technology. These existing and additional technology licenses may cease to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. In addition, it is possible that, in the course of using new technology, we or our agents acting on our behalf may inadvertently breach the technology rights of third parties and face liability for our breach. Our inability to obtain these technology licenses or avoid breaching third-party technology rights

41

could require us to obtain substitute technologies of lower quality or performance standards or at greater cost which could delay or compromise the introduction of new products and services, and could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties, and the expenses incurred in protecting our intellectual property rights, may adversely affect our business.

We regard our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, domain names and other intellectual property as important to our business. Unauthorized use of such intellectual property, whether owned by us or licensed to us, may adversely affect our business and reputation. We rely on intellectual property laws and contractual arrangements with our key employees and certain of our clients, collaborators and distributors and others to protect our intellectual property rights. Policing unauthorized use of intellectual property is difficult and expensive. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for third parties to obtain and use the intellectual property used in our business without authorization. The validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property in Internet-related industries in China are uncertain and still evolving. In particular, the laws and enforcement procedures of the PRC and certain other countries are uncertain or do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws and enforcement procedures in the United States. Moreover, we may have to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights. Any future litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, and could significantly disrupt our business, as well as have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to infringement claims, which could be time-consuming and costly to defend, divert management’s attention and resources or cause product shipment delays.

We may be subject to an increasing number of infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our various industry segments grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming and costly to defend, divert management’s attention and resources, cause product shipment delays or require us or our subsidiaries to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Any such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all, and may require the payment of substantial amounts of money. Furthermore, if we are found to have violated the intellectual property rights of others, or any party which licenses intellectual property to us is found to have violated the intellectual property rights of others, we may be enjoined from using such intellectual property rights. In the event of a successful product infringement claim against us or our failure or inability to license the infringed or similar technology, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

If our licensors cannot prevail on future intellectual property rights claims brought against them by third parties, our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

With respect to our online games business, we expect to derive most of our online games revenues and profits from Yulgang, Special Force and Shaiya and online games that we may license and launch in the future. Certain technology that is licensed from third parties may also be present in our software applications and licensed and developed online games. Our licensors may be subject to intellectual property rights claims with respect to the online game or games licensed to us. If any of our licensors cannot prevail on the intellectual property rights claims brought against them, we would lose our license from such licensor and may not be able to obtain the license from the legitimate owner of the game on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We could be subject to product liability claims, which could be time-consuming and costly to defend, divert management’s attention and could have a material and adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our complex software products may contain errors that may not be detected until after the delivery of the software. Furthermore, errors may also be present in our online games and software that controls or is related to our various mobile applications and services offerings, Any such errors could result in delayed market acceptance or claims against us by customers, which could lead to increased insurance costs or the payment of damages by us. Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming and costly to

42

defend and divert management’s attention and resources. Contractual provisions we may include in our agreements with third parties to mitigate this risk may not be enforceable in all jurisdictions, and liability insurance may not be available, or coverage for specific claims may be denied. A successful product liability claim brought against us could materially and adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.

If we lose the services of key employees, it may be costly and time-consuming for us to locate other personnel with the required skills and experience.

Our success depends on the continued efforts of our board members, our senior management and our technical, research and development, services and support, marketing and sales personnel. These persons may terminate their association or employment with us at any time. We have experienced changes in our senior management for a variety of reasons, including restructuring, medical reasons, retirement, and resignations to pursue other career opportunities. Loss of the services of key members of senior management or experienced personnel can be disruptive and causes uncertainty. In particular, we depend upon the services of Mr. Peter Yip, our chief executive officer. Mr. Yip took a leave of absence for medical reasons between February 2005 and April 2006. During that time, two other people who served as our chief executive officer and president resigned. While Mr. Yip believes that he has recovered enough to serve as our chief executive officer, we cannot assure his continued service.

The process of hiring employees with the combination of skills and attributes required to implement our business strategy can be extremely competitive and time-consuming. We compete for a limited number of qualified individuals with more established companies with greater resources that may offer more attractive compensation or employment conditions. As a result, we may be unable to retain or integrate existing personnel or identify and hire additional qualified personnel.

We have determined that material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting existed during 2005 and 2006 as a result of, among other things, our inability to attract and retain sufficient resources with the appropriate level of expertise in the accounting and finance departments of our organization to ensure appropriate application of GAAP, particularly in the areas of accounting for income taxes, foreign currency translation adjustments related to goodwill and intangible assets and the accounting for certain of our non-routine transactions. These material weaknesses resulted in the restatement of our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.

On July 2, 2007, we filed an amendment to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2005, to address comments received from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide separate consolidated balance sheets for 17game Group, a company we acquired, as of December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the five month period from August 1 to December 31, 2004 and the accompanying audit report of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu CPA Ltd. Additionally, on June 30, 2008, we amended our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2006 to restate certain amounts presented in the business segment footnote to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006.

An inability to attract or retain additional qualified senior managers or personnel in a timely manner, or the health, family or other personal problems of key personnel could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In the past, we have partially relied on options to compensate our employees. In the event employees do not consider their options as valuable compensation, we may need to provide additional compensation at additional expense.

43

We have granted, and anticipate we will continue to grant, options to purchase our Class A common shares to some of our employees. In the event our employees do not consider their options to be valuable compensation, we may need to provide additional compensation in the form of additional salary, bonuses or equity, in an effort to retain those existing employees. Our inability to retain the employees in our key revenue producing businesses could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The computer networks at our CDC Software, CDC Games and China.com business units are vulnerable to hacking, viruses, spamming and other disruptions by third parties, which may cause those businesses to lose key clients, expose us to liability for our clients’ losses, or prevent us from securing future business.

Unauthorized or inappropriate use of Internet services or errors or omissions in processing instructions or data available in computer system or databases at our CDC Software, CDC Games and China.com business units could jeopardize the security of confidential information stored in these computer systems, which may cause our CDC Software,CDC Games and China.com business units lose key clients, expose us to liability for our clients’ losses and prevent us from securing future business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and share price.

Unauthorized or inappropriate use of the Internet includes attempting to gain unauthorized access to information or systems (commonly known as cracking or hacking) and repeated transmission of unsolicited e-mail messages (commonly known as e-mail bombing or spamming). The current policies, procedures and configurations for managing the systems at our CDC Software, CDC Games and China.com business units, including their computer servers, may not be adequate to protect these facilities and the integrity of user and customer information. Although CDC Software, CDC Games and China.com implement security measures to protect their facilities and the integrity of their user and customer information, such measures could be ineffective or circumvented.

Alleviating problems caused by computer viruses or other inappropriate uses or security breaches may require interruptions, delays or cessation in the services our CDC Software, CDC Games and China.com business units, in addition to the outages that occur in these systems from time to time for various reasons, including power interruptions, errors in instructions, equipment inadequacy, capacity and other technical problems. We do not carry errors and omissions or other insurance covering losses or liabilities caused by computer viruses, security breaches or spamming attacks. Compromises or breaches in the security or integrity of these facilities or customer or user information, or inappropriate use of these Internet services, could subject us, CDC Games and China.com to litigation and could adversely affect our customer base, business, share price, results of operation and financial condition.

We rely on software and hardware systems at our CDC Games and China.com business units that are susceptible to failure, and in the event of service operations or other related problems, the operating efficiency and results of operations of these businesses may be adversely affected.

Any system failure or inadequacy that interrupts the services of our CDC Games and China.com business units or increases the response time of these services could reduce user satisfaction, future traffic and our attractiveness to advertisers and consumers. We also depend on Internet service providers and other Web site operators in the PRC and elsewhere that have experienced significant system failures and electrical outages in the past. Our users have experienced difficulties due to system failures that were unrelated to our systems and services. There can be no assurance that our technologies, services and products will not experience interruptions or other related problems, which could affect our operating efficiency and results of operations of these business units.

Many of our servers and routers, including back up servers, are currently hosted by third-party service providers throughout China. We do not maintain insurance policies covering losses relating to our systems and we do not have business interruption insurance. To improve the performance and to prevent disruption of our services, we may have to make substantial investments to deploy additional servers.

We also have limited system redundancy, and do not have a disaster recovery plan in the event of damage from fire, natural disasters, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins and similar events.

44

We may experience a complete system shut-down if any of these events were to occur. To improve performance and to prevent disruption of our services, we may have to make substantial investments to deploy additional servers or one or more copies of our Web sites to mirror our online resources. Because we carry property insurance with low coverage limits, our coverage may not be adequate to compensate us for our losses. If we do not increase our capacity and our redundancy, these constraints could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The successful operation of our online game and internet portal businesses depends upon the performance and reliability of the Internet infrastructure and fixed telecommunications networks in China.

Our online game and internet portal businesses depend on the performance and reliability of the Internet infrastructure in China. Almost all access to the Internet is maintained through state-owned telecommunication operators under the administrative control and regulatory supervision of China’s Ministry of Information Industry. In addition, the national networks in China are connected to the Internet through international gateways controlled by the PRC government. These international gateways are generally the only channels through which a domestic user can connect to the Internet. We cannot assure you that a more sophisticated Internet infrastructure will be developed in China. We may not have access to alternative networks in the event of disruptions, failures or other problems with China’s Internet infrastructure. In addition, the Internet infrastructure in China may not support the demands associated with continued growth in Internet usage.

Risks Relating to Our Class A Common Shares

Our share price could be adversely affected if our major strategic shareholders materially change their holdings in our shares, particularly if the share holdings are not disposed of in an orderly manner.

As of April 30, 2008, Asia Pacific Online Limited, or APOL, beneficially owned 22,384,648 of our common shares, or approximately 20.9% of our total outstanding share capital, based on 106,992,519 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2008, and Xinhua, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, owned 7,362,734 of our common shares, or approximately 6.9% of our total outstanding share capital. APOL is owned by the spouse of Mr. Peter Yip, our current chief executive officer and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, and by a trust established for the benefit of Mr. Yip’s children. There is no guarantee that APOL or Xinhua will continue to hold our shares going forward for any length of time. If APOL or Xinhua disposes, or if our investors expect Xinhua or APOL to dispose of, a substantial portion of their respective holdings in CDC at any time, it could adversely affect our share price. For more information regarding the shareholdings of APOL, Xinhua and other entities, see Item 7.A., “Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions – Major Shareholders.”

A small group of our existing shareholders control a significant percentage of our common shares, and their interests may differ from those of our other shareholders.

As of April 30, 2008, APOL owned approximately 20.9% of our common shares, based on 106,992,519 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2008, Xinhua, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, owned approximately 6.9% of our common shares and Jayhawk Capital owned approximately 8.4% of our common shares. Accordingly, these shareholders, particularly if they act together, will have significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to shareholders for approval, including:

• mergers, consolidations and other business combinations which under the law of the Cayman Islands requires the approval of at least 75% of the shares voting at the meeting;

• election or non-election of directors which under the law of the Cayman Islands requires the approval of a simple majority of the shares voting at the meeting;

• removal of directors which under the law of the Cayman Islands requires the approval of at least 66 ²/3% of the shares voting at the meeting; and

• amendments to our memorandum and articles of association which under the laws of the Cayman Islands requires the approval of at least 66 ²/3% of the shares voting at the meeting.

45

As a result, these shareholders, if they act together, may be able to effectively prevent a merger, consolidation or other business combination, elect or not elect directors, prevent removal of a director and prevent amendments to our memorandum and articles of association.

For more information regarding the shareholdings of APOL, Xinhua and Jayhawk, see Item 7.A., “Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions – Major Shareholders.”

Our share price has been, and may continue to be, extremely volatile, which may not be attractive to investors.

The trading price of our common shares has been, and is likely to continue to be, extremely volatile. During the period from July 12, 1999, the date we completed our initial public offering, or IPO, to December 31, 2002, the closing price of our shares ranged from $1.86 to $73.44, adjusted for our two stock splits. From January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2007, the closing price of our shares ranged from a low of $2.40 per share on April 15, 2005 to a high of $14.46 per share on July 14, 2003. There is no assurance that our share price will not fall below its historic or yearly low.

The trading price of our Class A common shares is subject to significant volatility in response to, among other factors:

• investor perceptions of our business, the market performance of our peer companies in the enterprise software business services, online games, Greater China portal and advertising and marketing activities businesses, in general;

• our significant acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

• trends and developments in all the markets in which we compete;

• variations in our operating results;

• our new product or service offerings;

• changes in our financial estimates by financial or industry analysts;

• technological innovations;

• litigation;

• changes in pricing made by us, our competitors or providers of alternative services;

• the depth and liquidity of the market for our shares; and

• general economic and other factors.

In addition, the trading price of our common shares has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. Broad market, political and industry factors may also decrease the price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. Securities class-action litigation and regulatory investigations often have been instituted against companies following steep declines in the market price of their securities.

We issued $168 million of senior exchangeable convertible notes due 2011 which we may not be able to repay in cash, could result in dilution to our current stockholders, dilution of our earnings per share, and which contain negative covenants which may have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

In November 2006, we issued an aggregate of $168 million of 3.75% senior exchangeable convertible notes due 2011 to a total of 12 institutional accredited investors in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act. As of December 31, 2007, the face value of outstanding senior exchangeable convertible notes was $168 million.

46

Upon the occurrence of certain events, we have the right to redeem the notes, and the investors may demand redemption of the notes by us in the event that no qualified initial public offering by either CDC Software or CDC Games has occurred on the third anniversary following the issuance of the notes. The notes may be redeemed at par value plus all accrued and unpaid interest; provided, however, that the interest rate shall increase to 12.5% per annum and apply retroactively from the issue date to the applicable redemption date. However, we cannot assure you that we will have enough cash on hand or the ability to access cash to pay the notes if presented for redemption, on a redemption date referred to above or at maturity.

In addition, in connection with our issuance of the notes, we became subject to various negative covenants. We agreed that we will not incur any debt, other than permitted debt, unless after giving effect to such debt: our leverage ratio is less than 6.0 to 1 as reflected in our consolidated financial statements for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters; our aggregate debt does not exceed 50% of our total capitalization on a consolidated basis as reflected in our consolidated financial statements for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters; or our consolidated cash flow exceeds two times the sum of consolidated interest expense and capital expenditures during the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters.

Furthermore, we also may not create, assume or incur any mortgage, pledge lien, or other security interest except for certain permitted liens, which include existing liens, intracompany liens, liens over assets of CDC Software to secure a credit facility to CDC Software in an amount not exceeding $30 million, liens securing assets acquired or constructed after the closing to secure the cost of such acquisition or construction, provided such liens do not exceed 80% of the fair market value of the asset, or any lien resulting from renewing extending or replacing a lien.

Pursuant to the negative covenants we are also prohibited from paying dividends to our common shareholders (other than dividends of our common shares) or repurchase any shares of our capital stock or any of our subsidiaries, provided, however, that we may purchase voting equity in any non-wholly owned subsidiary or make purchases pursuant to a stock repurchase program.

The note investors are also afforded anti-dilution protection, a right of first refusal if we, CDC Software or CDC Games intend to offer or sell any of its equity or equity equivalent securities prior to a qualified initial public offering, and have received registration rights with respect to the common shares deliverable upon an exchange of the notes. The negative covenants set forth above may have the effect of limiting our ability to operate our businesses and financial affairs in certain manners, which may have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are a “foreign private issuer,” and have disclosure obligations that are different than those of other U.S. domestic reporting companies so you should not expect to receive the same information about us at the same time as a U.S. domestic reporting company may provide.

We are a foreign private issuer and, as a result, we are not subject to certain of the requirements imposed upon U.S. domestic issuers by the SEC. For example, we are not required to issue quarterly reports or proxy statements. We are allowed six months to file our annual report with the SEC instead of approximately three, and we are not required to disclose certain detailed information regarding executive compensation that is required from U.S. domestic issuers. Further, our directors and executive officers are not required to report equity holdings under Section 16 of the Securities Act. As a foreign private issuer, we are also exempt from the requirements of Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) which, generally, are meant to ensure that select groups of investors are not privy to specific information about an issuer before other investors. We are, however, still subject to the anti-fraud and anti-manipulation rules of the SEC, such as Rule 10b-5.

Since many of the disclosure obligations required of us as a foreign private issuer are different than those required by other U.S. domestic reporting companies, our shareholders, potential shareholders and the investing public in general, should not expect to receive information about us in the same amount and at the same time as information is received from, or provided by, other U.S. domestic reporting companies.

47

We are liable for violations of the rules and regulations of the SEC which do apply to us as a foreign private issuer. Violations of these rules could affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may incur significant costs to avoid being considered an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Generally, the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the 1940 Act, provides that a company is not an investment company and is not required to register under the 1940 Act as an investment company if:

• the company is primarily engaged, directly or through a wholly-owned subsidiary or subsidiaries, in a business or businesses other than that of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities; and

• 40% or less of the value of the company’s assets (exclusive of cash items and U.S. government securities) is represented by “investment securities” as defined by the 1940 Act.

We believe that we are engaged primarily and directly in the businesses of providing enterprise software and business services through our CDC Software business unit, on online games through our CDC Games business unit and on mobile applications and internet and media services through our China.com business unit. Also, based upon an analysis of our assets at December 31, 2007 and income for the year ended 2007, during 2007, we do not believe we will be considered an investment company. The determination of whether we will be an investment company will be based primarily upon the composition and value of our assets, which are subject to change, particularly when market conditions are volatile. As a result, we could inadvertently become an investment company.

If we were to become subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act, our operations and results would be negatively impacted, including among other possible effects, our inability to raise capital through the offer and sale of our securities in the United States. We could also be subject to administrative or legal proceedings and, among other things, contracts to which we are a party might be rendered unenforceable or subject to rescission. Additionally, we would be unable to continue operating as we currently do and might need to acquire or sell assets that we would not otherwise acquire or sell in order to avoid becoming and “investment company” as defined under the 1940 Act. We may incur significant costs and management time to avoid being considered an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

We can give no assurances in the future as to our investment company status under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

We believe, although we cannot assure you, that our Class A common shares should not be treated as stock of a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for the taxable year ending December 31, 2007. This belief is different than the determinations we have made in previous years, and we cannot assure you that we will not be treated as a PFIC in the future.

We do not believe that we should be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our taxable year ended December 31, 2007, based upon our analysis of our assets held at the end of each quarter of our taxable year ending December 31, 2007, and our income for our taxable year ended December 31, 2007. However, the PFIC determination is inherently factual and there is limited guidance regarding the application of the PFIC rules. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the IRS will not successfully contend, or that a court would not otherwise conclude, that we are a PFIC. Accordingly, prospective investors are strongly urged to consult with their tax advisor as to the effects of the PFIC rules.

Further, the PFIC determination is made annually, and therefore may be subject to change in future years. Thus, we can provide no assurance that we will not be classified as a PFIC in 2008 and beyond. The determination of whether we would become a PFIC in a future tax year would be principally based upon:

• the composition of our assets, including goodwill, the amount of which will depend, in part, on our total net assets and the market value of our Treasury portfolio, which is subject to change; and

• the amount and nature of our income over the course of the year.

48

We have limited control over these variables and therefore, cannot assure you of our PFIC status for future years.

Further, we may consider additional capital markets or corporate finance transactions in the future. Should we proceed with such offerings, we cannot, at this stage, specify with certainty the timing, amounts or the particular uses of the net proceeds. Depending on the usage of any such net proceeds, we could possibly become classified as a PFIC as a result of such transactions.

If we become a PFIC, U.S. holders, as such term is defined in Item 10.E., “Additional Information – Taxation – Tax Consequences of U.S. Holder,” could be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. For further discussion regarding our PFIC status, see Item 10.E., “Additional Information – Taxation – Tax Consequences of U.S. Holders – Passive Foreign Investment Company Status.” U.S. holders are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to their particular circumstances.

Substantial amounts of our common shares are eligible for future sale, which could adversely affect the market price of our shares.

Sales of substantial amounts of our Class A common shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price for our shares. As of March 31, 2008, we had 117,677,165 Class A common shares issued and outstanding, substantially all of which may be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from registration thereunder, including Rule 144, which permits resales of securities subject to limitations (including trading volume) depending on the holding period of such securities.

In August 2007, we prepared and filed a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 pursuant to which we could potentially register an indeterminate number of common shares and preferred shares, debt securities, or warrants to purchase any of such securities or units.

Several of the agreements we have entered into with respect to acquisitions we have made, require us pay cash and/or issue “earn-out” shares, which are shares of our common stock issued to sellers or other persons in those transactions, upon the occurrence of certain milestones or on certain dates. These earn-out obligations may, in some instances, extend for several years past the date of the original agreement. Any such issuance of shares will cause dilution in the interests of our stockholders. Furthermore, many of the amounts payable or issuable under the earn-out provisions are variable, and the number of shares and/or cash that may be payable under these provisions may be significantly more or less than we may expect or have anticipated.

In addition, as we continue to issue and register shares to fulfill our contractual and acquisition-related obligations, and as our employees and other grantees have been or are granted, and subsequently exercise, additional options to purchase our common shares, additional shares will be available-for-sale in the public market. We have also granted options to certain of our shareholders, directors and officers to purchase our shares, the vesting of which options may be accelerated upon an occurrence of a change-of-control event. As a result, additional shares may be available-for-sale in the public market. The availability or perceived availability of additional shares could have a dilutive and negative impact on the market price of our shares.

In the future, we may also issue additional shares, convertible notes or warrants to purchase our shares, in connection with acquisitions and our efforts to expand our business. Shareholders could face further dilution from any such future share issuances.

49

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents may adversely affect the rights of holders of our common shares.

Our memorandum and articles of association include provisions that could limit the ability of others to acquire control of us, modify our structure or cause us to engage in change-of-control transactions. We intend to review and evaluate these provisions periodically and may adopt additional anti-takeover measures in the future. These provisions could have the effect of depriving shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices by discouraging third parties from seeking to obtain control of us, in a tender offer or similar transaction.

For example, our board of directors is divided into three classes, each having a term of three years, with the term of one class expiring each year. These provisions have the effect of delaying the replacement of a majority of our directors and make changes to our board of directors more difficult than if such provisions were not in place. In addition, our board of directors has the authority, without further action by our shareholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 preferred shares in one or more series and to fix their designations, powers, preferences, privileges, relative participating, optional or special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences. Any or all of the foregoing may be superior to the rights afforded to the holders of our Class A common shares. Preferred shares could be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult. If our board of directors issues preferred shares, the price of our Class A common shares may fall and the voting and other rights of the holders of our Class A common shares may be adversely affected.

Our shareholders may face difficulties in protecting their interests because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, and by the Companies Law and common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law in the Cayman Islands is derived in part from, as compared to the U.S., limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands and from English common law. Cayman Islands law in this area may conflict with jurisdictions in the United States. As a result, our public shareholders may face more difficulties in protecting their interests in actions against our management, directors or our controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States. For instance, the ability to bring a class action lawsuit may not be available to our shareholders as a vehicle for litigating securities matters against us in the Cayman Islands. Further, under Cayman Islands law, shareholder derivative actions may generally not be brought by a minority shareholder. In addition, the shareholders of Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action before the federal courts of the United States. As a result, our shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in actions against our management, directors or our shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States, and our ability to protect our interests if we are harmed in a manner that would otherwise enable us to sue in a United States court may be limited.

Additionally, the Cayman Islands have a less developed body of corporate and securities laws than the United States.

The Cayman Islands courts are also unlikely to:

• recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States based on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws; or

• impose liabilities against us, in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, based on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.

50

There is no statutory recognition in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the Cayman Islands will generally recognize and enforce a non-penal judgment of foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits.

As a result of the above, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests than they would as public shareholders of a U.S. company.

You may have difficulty enforcing judgments obtained against us.

We are a Cayman Islands company and a substantial majority of our assets are located outside the United States. A substantial portion of our current operations is conducted outside the United States in countries such as Canada, China, Sweden, Australia, the United Kingdom and other countries and territories, and a majority of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States. A substantial portion of any assets these people may hold is located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon, and gain jurisdiction over, these persons. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Canada, China, Sweden, the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or these persons that may be based upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. Furthermore, the courts of these countries may refuse to hear cases brought in Canada, China, Sweden, the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions against us or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any of its states.

If you are not a registered shareholder and do not hold greater than 10,000 shares, you may not receive our proxy materials or other corporate communications.

We are a Cayman Islands company. As such, we are only required to distribute our proxy materials to our registered shareholders, and not to any shareholders who hold our shares beneficially, through a broker or in a brokerage account. We offer electronic delivery of proxy materials to our registered shareholders, and we mail proxy materials to each registered owner who has not opted to receive materials electronically. You are a registered shareholder if you have an account with our transfer agent, The Bank of New York, and if you hold a stock certificate evidencing your ownership of our common shares. You are a beneficial shareholder if a brokerage firm, bank trustee or other agent holds your common shares. However, your name would not appear anywhere on our records, but rather the name of the broker, bank or other nominee appears on our records as retained by our transfer agent, The Bank of New York. Although we only need to distribute our proxy materials to registered shareholders under Cayman Islands law, we also distribute, but are not required to distribute, proxy materials to beneficial shareholders who hold greater than 10,000 of our shares. In an effort to maintain cost effectiveness, we have, and intend to continue to, mail the proxy materials to those beneficial shareholders who hold greater than 10,000 of our shares. If you are not a registered shareholder and do not hold greater than 10,000 of our shares, you will not receive our proxy materials or other corporate communications. Therefore, if you are a beneficial shareholder and want to ensure that you do receive proxy materials, you are urged to become a registered owner.

We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future and the holders of our class A common shares may not receive any return on their investment from dividends.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth. We do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. The holders of our class A common shares may not receive any return on their investment from dividends.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. History and Development of the Company

Our headquarters and principal executive offices are located at 33/F Citicorp Centre, 18 Whitfield Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, and our telephone number is 852-2893-8200. Our contact telephone number in Beijing is 011-8610-5129-8700. Our primary address in the United States is Two Concourse Parkway, Suite 800, Atlanta, GA 230328 and our telephone number in Atlanta is (678) 259-8510. We have a website that you may access at http://www.cdccorporation.net. Information contained on our website does not constitute part of this Annual Report.

We were incorporated in June 1997 as China Information Infrastructure Limited, a company limited by shares under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Internet Corporation Limited, or CIC, to operate CIC’s Internet portal and related businesses.

In June 1999, CIC distributed its entire interest in our predecessor company to CIC’s shareholders. Upon completion of that transaction, CIC ceased to have any ownership interest in our predecessor company. APOL and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xinhua provided rights of first refusal to buy the other party’s shares in us in the event either party sought to dispose of its shareholdings. Additionally, APOL received rights to place shares of us owned by the Xinhua subsidiary to prospective buyers on behalf of the Xinhua subsidiary in exchange for a commission.

In July 1999, we completed our IPO of the equivalent of 19,320,000 class A common shares on NASDAQ at the equivalent of a public offering price of $5.00 per share on a stock split adjusted basis. All of the shares registered were sold and net proceeds from the IPO totaled $85.6 million.

In December 1999, our shareholders approved a two-for-one share split.

In January 2000, we completed a second public offering of the equivalent of 9,952,884 class A common shares on NASDAQ at the equivalent of a public offering price equal to $42.50 per share on a stock split adjusted basis. Of the 9,952,884 class A common shares sold, 2,325,000 shares were offered by certain of our shareholders. The selling shareholders received an aggregate of $94.1 million in net proceeds for their shares. All of the shares registered were sold and net proceeds to us from the offering totaled $303.9 million.

In March 2000, we listed our subsidiary, hongkong.com Corporation (which has since been renamed to China.com), on the Growth Enterprise Market, or GEM, of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, by selling approximately 16% of this subsidiary to the public. We received net proceeds of approximately $168.5 million in connection with this listing and sale. We currently continue to own approximately 77% of China.com.

In April 2000, our shareholders approved a second two-for-one share split.

In addition, in April 2000, our shareholders approved the change of our company name to chinadotcom corporation. In April 2005, our shareholders approved a second change of our company name from chinadotcom corporation to CDC Corporation. Concurrently, in April 2005, the shareholders of hongkong.com Corporation approved a change of its name from hongkong.com Corporation to China.com.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

Our goal is to be a global company focused on enterprise software through our CDC Software business unit, online games through our CDC Games business unit, internet and media services through our China.com business unit. The evolution of our business model has been achieved in large part through strategic acquisitions and investments during the past three fiscal years. We have spent a significant amount of cash and have issued a significant number of our common shares in connection with the strategic acquisitions and investments mentioned below.

Our IT and business service offerings include application development, IT infrastructure services, help desk services, business process improvement, implementation and outsourced hosting and application management services.

Enterprise Software Applications and Services

Our enterprise software applications and services include the following:

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). Our ERP products help provide the control and visibility needed throughout a customer’s operations to improve profitability and fulfill customer demand. For companies that produce and package products through recipe and formula-based processes, our ERP solutions help process manufacturers manage manufacturing operations with dynamic forecasting and scheduling, formula-based production and yield management, quality control, inventory management, complex product costing, and streamlined regulatory compliance.

58

Supply Chain Management (SCM). Our SCM products help enable process manufacturers to plan and forecast proactively, optimize production schedules for low-cost and high-quality customer service, minimize inventory investments, and streamline distribution operations. We also offer SCM products for distribution intensive companies that support demand-driven fulfillment in multi-company, multi-site, multi-channel environments, such as for retailers (grocery stores, specialty goods and direct merchant retailers), wholesalers (pharmaceutical and over-the-counter drug distributors) and consumer goods manufacturers, which have high volumes of order transactions and fast-moving products.

Manufacturing Operations. Our manufacturing operations applications help companies optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of their factories. These applications are integrated with and complement our ERP and SCM products, and also fill the manufacturing operations void in ERP, SCM and manufacturing execution systems from our competitors. Our manufacturing operations applications combine finite factory scheduling with real-time performance management and business intelligence to enable continuous improvement, optimization of operational resources and change management for manufacturing operators, engineers, technicians and management personnel.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Our CRM products help our customers establish and maintain profitable long-term business relationships with their customers by integrating information from the entire enterprise and increasing efficiencies within the sales, marketing and service functions to create one unified business network connecting employees, partners and customers. Our products are highly configurable, enabling companies to cost-effectively adapt and integrate the application to fit their unique business processes.

Enterprise Feedback Management (EFM). Our EFM applications help organizations capture and process customer complaints and feedback and use this information to help deliver cost reductions, increased efficiencies, improved customer satisfaction and increased profitability. These applications help companies maintain customer satisfaction and advocacy, and drive business improvements and competitive advantage as well as providing the ability to help address regulatory compliance requirements.

Human Resource Payroll (HRP). Our HRP solutions, which are currently only offered in China, focus on automating processes to enable an organization to improve business results and increase workforce performance by leveraging technology and applications to manage and mobilize a unified, global workforce. Our HRP solutions streamline the human resource management process, increase work efficiency, and support strategic decision-making. Our customers are able to automate routine daily tasks such as payroll processing, attendance, and benefits tracking, giving them more time and information to implement strategies that align the workforce with their organization’s strategic goals.

These tools help to convert large volumes of data collected and stored by the business into meaningful and multi-dimensional reports and analyses for use in decision-making. These applications are sold as complementary applications to our ERP, SCM, CRM and manufacturing operations solutions.

Customer Services

Our Software Group offers a variety of professional services to customers that use our enterprise software applications. These services cover the full range of business optimization requirements, including industry advisory services, business process improvement services, traditional implementation services, tuning/optimization services and outsourced hosting/application management services.

The following diagram illustrates the range of professional services we are able to offer to match up with the continuum of customer needs.

The Professional Services Continuum

Generally, these customer services are offered on a time and expense reimbursement basis, although there has been an increasing trend to perform such services for a fixed fee.

• Industry Advisory Services. Industry advisory services involve working with clients to understand their business issues and to identify and document achievable technical solutions to provide tangible business improvements, often by identifying and implementing industry best practices as part of the clients’ processes. Utilizing professionals with specific industry expertise, we offer independent analysis and advice to help customers plan, evaluate and select the processes necessary to form an effective business solution. This process often requires us to become involved in other aspects of our clients’ businesses, such as business planning, financial modeling and defining and documenting business requirements.

60

• Business Process Improvement Services. Business process improvement services involve working with clients to design and document business processes that drive tangible business improvements. Our business consultants work with clients to produce an in-depth analysis of the client’s specific needs and prepare detailed plans that list the step-by-step procedures that will form a business process.

• Software Implementation Services. Software implementation services seek to achieve timely and successful implementation of business systems usually involving one or more of our software products. These services include evaluating and managing the client’s needs by supplying custom application systems, custom interfaces, data conversions and system conversions. Our consultants participate in a wide range of activities, including software design and development. In addition, we also provide implementation services focused on networking and database administration.

• Tuning and Optimization Services. Tuning and optimization services focus on improving the coordination and operation of our clients’ disparate business systems so that all of the processes are seamless, smooth and efficient, and the system provides all of the business information that clients require quickly and accurately. As part of these services, we typically assist clients in the integration of multiple software products across multiple existing systems. Because businesses have often deployed disparate enterprise systems over time to support sales, services, accounting, manufacturing, human resources and order processing, our tuning and optimization services seek to unify the multiple systems and unlock the information in these separate databases.

• Hosting and Application Management. Hosting and application management involves offering clients a variety of managed IT services, including outsourcing, facilities management and hosting strategic business processes. Hosting and application management offers a practical alternative for organizations wanting to concentrate on core business activities rather than devote limited resources to IT matters. Specific services we offer include hosting enterprise software applications for clients on our servers, providing outsourced desktop and data management services, providing help desk support to a client’s employees, leasing and supporting IT assets such as computers and printers, and acting as a strategic source for certain segments of a client’s IT infrastructure (such as second level support beyond the help desk). In addition, we provide outsourced application development services to our clients, including designing, developing, testing and deploying custom software applications.

Other Customer Services Provided by the Software Group

To enable our customers to get the most out of our enterprise software applications, we also offer client support and education services to our customers.

Customer Support. We seek to ensure that our customers quickly and easily find answers to questions or issues related to their enterprise software applications. We provide customer support through a variety of media, including web-based support, e-mail, telephone support, technical publications and product support guides. These media allow our customers to conveniently and effectively acquire the information they desire. Customer support works closely with our customers’ internal support teams to assist our customers in their use of our solutions. Generally, our customer support is provided under the maintenance provisions in our license agreements for an annual fee, which is based on a percentage of the software license fees. Customers are typically required to purchase customer support for at least one or two years when they enter into a license agreement. Standard maintenance agreements generally entitle a customer to certain product upgrades and product enhancements, as well as access to our staff. In addition to standard support, we continue to expand our offerings to include remote services and extended technical support.

Education Services. We seek to ensure that our customers effectively adopt and use their enterprise software applications by delivering education and training services that fit each customer’s business needs. Education services are offered to customers as standard or customized classes at our education facilities or at the customer’s location.

Global Services Group

Our Global Services Group provides many of the same business optimization services offered by our Software Group to customers that do not use our enterprise software applications. The Global Services Group assists customers to achieve the highest value for their IT expenditures by providing our customers with more value-added services than offered by our Software Group. These services are generally offered on a regional basis in the United States and Australia. In order to provide more cost-effective services while maintaining a high quality of service, our Global Services Group utilizes both locally based professional services staff who can interact with a customer’s staff on-site, as well as “off-shore” professional services staff typically located in India or China.

Revenues from our Global Services Group were $110.8 million in 2007. As a percentage of total revenues, revenues from our Global Services Group constituted 28% of our total revenues in 2007.

Customers

Our enterprise software customers operate in process-intensive industries, such as the food and beverage, consumer products, pharmaceutical and biotechnology, chemicals, metals and natural products industries, and in other industries that are characterized by complex customer relationships, such as the financial services, homebuilding and real estate, general manufacturing and healthcare industries. We believe customers in these industries benefit from vendor solutions that address their industry and business specific needs, such as the ability to make modular purchase decisions, the availability of risk-mitigating implementation services and strong configuration support. As a result, our products often suit mid-sized enterprises and divisions of larger enterprises in our targeted vertical industries. As of December 31, 2007, over 6,000 customers worldwide had purchased our products.

Within the Global Services Group, we target both mid and large companies doing business in many areas including telecommunications, chemical, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, consumer product, utility, insurance, banking and finance, entertainment and IT sectors. Because many of our target customers for business services are also in our targeted industries for enterprise software, we seek to cross-sell both enterprise software applications and business services between the two customer bases in addition to leveraging our industry expertise and knowledge gained between the two lines of business.

During 2007, our top 10 customers accounted for 11% of our total revenues. No customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues in 2006 or 2007.

Sales

We sell our products and services through a variety of methods, including our direct sales force, our channel partners and distributors, and, for certain products, through our websites. Our direct sales force is organized by vertical industry and is primarily concentrated in the United States and Western Europe. As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately 260 employees engaged in direct sales.

In addition to our direct sales force, we sell our products through partners and distributors. These partners include value-added resellers, original equipment manufacturers, consulting and professional services companies, progressive product development organizations, and regional consulting and sales agents that meet certain criteria. Our partners and distributors pay us royalties on the sales of products and maintenance services. As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately 44 distributors, principally located outside the United States, that distribute our enterprise software products. In addition, we sell add-on products, solutions and tools for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform both directly through an online store and through more than 600 authorized reseller partners worldwide.

China Strategy for Leveraging Development Capabilities

We believe that we maintain a low-overhead research and development infrastructure that delivers high-quality, low-cost software development capabilities through our operations in Shanghai and Nanjing. As of March 31, 2008, we maintained a total of 135 employees in these facilities.

While our product development and design decisions are primarily maintained in the United States, software development and quality assurance testing work has been increasingly moved offshore. We now have a significant amount of our global research and development organization in China, and currently intend to increase that amount over time. We believe that this strategy will help further reduce our overall cost structure, as labor costs for information technology professionals are approximately 18% of the typical costs of those paid in the U.S. and 79% of the typical costs paid in India. Furthermore, in China, turnover rates have been relatively low, and we have experienced only modest salary increases relative to other regions, such as India.

Currently, Shanghai is our key development center in China today; however, we have also established a significant presence in Nanjing. Nanjing offers lower operating cost than Shanghai, which helps us maintain a low average cost structure in China. Total operating costs in Nanjing are approximately 20% lower than those in Shanghai, and salaries in Nanjing are approximately 18% lower.

In addition, we also maintain a relationship with one of China’s leading universities, the Nanjing University. We believe this relationship helps our recruiting efforts by attracting top talent.

We also believe that one of our competitive advantages is our ability to migrate research and development efforts to our China operations. Since many of the companies we typically acquire have research and development expenditures greater than our corporate average, during our integration process, we typically leverage our offshore capabilities to lower that spend level, or accelerate development schedules.

China Strategy for Increasing Software Sales

We also believe we have a strong sales channel in China that may allow us to benefit from positive economic and technology trends in China.

Our total headcount in sales and marketing in China is currently approximately 110 persons, and our locations include Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong.

Global concern over China’s food and product safety is a major catalyst for interest in our products in China as our ERP products provide food and product traceability necessary to support brand protection initiatives. Other industry drivers include the need to support complex regulatory and reporting requirements for human resources and payroll, and the need to ensure that supply chain inefficiencies do not negatively affect the low cost of labor.

Furthermore, one example of an emerging market we are targeting in China is CRM in the Financial Services industry of Institutional Asset Management. Approximately 50% of the top 25 global asset management firms use CDC Software’s CRM packages. We hope to leverage that experience into the Asia/Pacific region, initially targeting Hong Kong and Singapore.

We have developed our HRM solutions to specifically address the unique regulatory and reporting requirements found in China, and our HRM products are already established in the manufacturing, business services and financial services industries in China. We intend to take advantage of this customer base to help cross-sell our other enterprise applications to these customers.

Franchise Partner Program and Other Initiatives

We have established a Franchise Partner Program, or FPP, and have allocated an aggregate of up to $20 million for investment in channel partners to establish strategic relationships that we hope will accelerate mutual business expansion. We select participating partners in high-growth geographies including Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, India and China. For participation in the FPP,

63

we seek partners with long-standing, successful track records in ERP, SCM and CRM. Additionally, we consider the more than 600 authorized distribution partners of CRM add-on products, industry-specific CRM solutions and CRM development tools for Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Our investments, made through equity investments, lines of credit or a combination of these, are used to help these partners grow their businesses through expanded marketing and sales programs, accelerated product localization and improved local support and services.

To date, we have entered into agreements under the FPP with Business T&G Group, in Spain, CMT Latin America, in Latin America, Desarrollo de Recursos Estratégicos S.A de C.V, in Mexico, Ross Systems Chile Ltda, in Chile and DC Software do Brasil Sistemas S.A., in Brasil, we have also acquired Brilliant Training and Consulting in Australia, and a majority ownership interest in Integrated Solutions Limited a Hong Kong-based vendor of ERP systems designed for small and medium-sized discrete manufacturers in China.

In December 2007, we announced that we had commenced sales of our Pivotal CRM solutions in India through CDC CRM Solutions Private Ltd., a company in which we have taken a 19% ownership stake and that is intended to exclusively sell Pivotal CRM in India.

In addition, in October 2007, we executed a term sheet to enter into a joint venture with FlexSystem Limited to develop, market and sell basic accounting and payroll SaaS products. We intend that the products to be developed by the joint venture will initially be marketed and sold to customers in the People’s Republic of China. The term sheet provides that each party shall license certain intellectual property rights to the joint venture for use in product development. The completion of the joint venture with FlexSystem remains subject to standard conditions, including, but not limited to, finalizing definitive transaction agreements, completing due diligence to our satisfaction and obtaining the approval of our board of directors.

Marketing

In support of our sales force, partners and distributors, we conduct a variety of marketing programs, including telemarketing, direct mailings, online and print advertising, seminars, trade shows, public relations and on-going customer communication. We are engaged in a significant marketing effort using online channels including web-based seminars, online newsletters, and electronic direct mail. Additionally, we participate in industry, customer and analyst events, and hold local events to better meet the needs of prospects, partners, distributors and customers around the world. We also hold an annual global users conference as a forum to bring together users of our products to present upcoming products and releases, share success stories and best practices and obtain feedback from our customer base on the quality of our products and services, as well as ideas for improvements and future upgrades.

We also conduct communications programs to establish and maintain relationships with key trade press and industry analysts. We have customer marketing teams targeted at working directly with our customers to obtain feedback and to track ongoing customer success stories. We also hold joint web events with marketing partners and others, co-author business papers, and create and publish other materials that are of value to our customers and partners in making a decision to purchase one of our products.

Product Development

To meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers in our targeted vertical industries and address potential new markets, we strive to invest in, and enhance the functionality of, our existing product offerings and related services and develop new product solutions. During 2007, we spent $23.8 million on research and development activities.

Our development process involves a system where we obtain product input from a variety of sources, including product and design forums, specialty industry groups, market trends, changes in industry and regulatory requirements and customer surveys. The input is conveyed through internal product boards, made up of technical, sales and marketing personnel, that provide advice to the product manager who then produces a product plan. Generally, under the product plans, specific major new releases are made every 12 to 18 months, with minor product releases on a six-month basis.

64

Generally, the expert knowledge of the functionality of our products and the needs of our customers is located in Atlanta, Georgia for our enterprise and departmental solutions for process manufacturers, and in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and Campbell, California for our vertical CRM products. Our software development capabilities, however, are located principally in China and India. In addition to our development centers in Shanghai and Nanjing, we have established a software development center in Bangalore, India to develop our vertical CRM products. Our Shanghai and Bangalore centers have achieved Microsoft Gold Certification. As of December 31, 2007, our software development centers in China and India employed approximately 135 and 167 development personnel and 0 and 19 consultant personnel, respectively. This shift has enabled us to expand the breadth of product development and accelerate delivery schedules while reducing overall development costs. By managing our own internal development centers, rather than outsourcing to third parties (as is frequently practiced in the software industry) we believe we have maintained better control over product quality and development schedules.

Development activity during 2006, 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 covered a range of evolving functionality enhancements to present releases of our products, including the following:

• Q1 2006. New products launched supported the growing need for mobility among our customers.

CDC Factory provides a real-time framework that helps manufacturers unlock hidden capacity on the factory floor by managing production scheduling in real time, pinpointing the causes of plant inefficiencies and providing immediate feedback on key operating metrics including rate, yield, utilization and per unit cost. CDC Factory is the result of internal research and development investments coupled with two targeted acquisitions of specialized process manufacturing solutions.

Competition

Software Group

The enterprise software industry is very competitive and subject to rapid technological change. A number of companies offer products that are similar to our products and target the same vertical industries as us. In addition to competing with the internal IT departments of our customers, our major competitors in each of our targeted vertical industries include:

• For extended ERP and SCM in the food and beverages, consumer products, pharmaceutical and biotechnology, chemicals, metals and natural products industries: Epicor, Infor, Lawson, Manhattan Associates, Microsoft, Oracle, QAD, Sage, SAP and various other small vendors.

• For vertical CRM in the financial services, homebuilding and real estate, general manufacturing, and healthcare industries: Made2Manage, Microsoft, NetSuite, Oracle, Sage, Salesforce.com, SalesLogix, SAP and various other small vendors.

• For SCM in the distribution industries: i2, Infor, Logility, Manhattan Associates, Oracle and SAP.

• For HRP: Oracle, SAP, Taleo and various local providers in the Greater China market, including Cityray Technology, BenQ Group, Kingdee International Software Group, Shanghai Kayang Information System, Strategy Software Systems, UFIDA Software and Vanguard Software.

Global Services Group

The IT services industry is highly competitive and rapidly changing as customers’ needs are constantly evolving. We compete with firms that range from large global IT consulting firms such as Cambridge Technology Partners, Infosys, Syntel and Wipro, to IT services divisions of large diversified technology companies such as IBM Global Services. In addition, we also compete with the internal IT departments of our customers, as well as several niche services providers that specialize in a geographic market or vertical segments.

CDC Software’s Competitive Strengths

We believe our principal competitive strengths include the following:

We have developed sophisticated products for our targeted vertical industries. We believe that sophisticated buyers seek solutions that are closely tailored to their industry-specific requirements. We believe this demand creates significant advantages for us relative to our competitors that offer generalized enterprise software applications that require significant customization. Our enterprise software applications are industry-specific and allow businesses to immediately benefit because our solutions do not require extensive, costly customizations in order to meet an individual customer’s industry-specific business needs.

Our products can be implemented rapidly, configured and upgraded easily, and are intuitive to use, which helps lower our customers’ total cost of ownership and increase their return on investment. Because

68

our enterprise software applications incorporate the unique functionality required by customers in our targeted vertical industries, they can be implemented without the significant customization that is typically required for conventional enterprise software applications. Our applications often require limited configuration, resulting in significant time and cost savings, particularly for mid-sized companies that do not have large IT staffs or budgets for software customization. Beyond initial implementation, our products provide benefits over the lifespan of our customers’ IT systems. An enterprise software application typically undergoes four to five major release upgrades during its eight to ten year lifecycle. Conventional enterprise software applications that have been highly customized typically require rebuilding and retesting with each upgrade. The effort and cost of these upgrades for the customer may rival those of the initial implementation. Because our enterprise software applications require less customization during initial implementation, the complexity of subsequent upgrades is greatly reduced, saving time and money for customers and enabling them to take advantage of software updates. Furthermore, because our applications are designed to meet industry-specific requirements, end-user training requires fewer staff and is less expensive and time-consuming. We believe our products are also more intuitive to use than conventional enterprise software applications, which helps to lower start-up training and deployment costs.

Our products are scalable to meet the needs of growing businesses. Many of our customers require products that support growing numbers of employees, customers and partners. Our enterprise software applications are designed to enable our customers to expand their use of our products as their businesses grow by adding servers without having to re-implement software or retrain personnel. This improves product performance, enables our products to support larger numbers of concurrent users at lower cost, thereby protecting our customers’ original investment in our products, and provides us with ongoing revenue streams as our customers grow.

Our sales and marketing personnel have significant industry expertise in our targeted vertical industries. In the current market environment, we believe buyers are not only seeking tailored solutions, but also long-term business partners who understand and are familiar with the unique and evolving challenges of their industries. In order to address this need and to more effectively develop, enhance and sell our industry-specific solutions, we have sought to attract and retain personnel with substantial experience in the industries we target. Our industry experts understand our customers’ specific business concerns, resulting in a more effective sales force than those of our competitors who sell their products through a generalist sales force. Additionally, due to our focus on offering industry-specific solutions, we believe that our marketing programs are significantly more cost-effective than those of our generalist competitors.

We have a global, diverse and growing base of highly satisfied customers. Our enterprise software applications have been purchased by over 6,000 companies worldwide as of December 31, 2007, and our customer base is growing. During 2007, approximately 51.0% of our total revenues were generated in North America, approximately 24.9% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and approximately 24.1% in the Asia Pacific region, whereas during 2006, approximately 56.4% of CDC Software total revenues were generated in North America, approximately 27.4% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and approximately 16.2% in the Asia/Pacific region. Our global and diverse customer base helps ensure that we are not dependent on any single customer, industry or geographic region. We expect to continue leveraging our existing customer relationships to support our marketing and sales programs through customer case studies, media interviews, speaking engagements and sales references to generate additional leads and sales.

Our business services address a wide spectrum of IT and business needs, create additional cross-selling opportunities and enable us to become a strategic consultant to our software customers and other companies, which helps to build lasting relationships. Our business services offerings extend beyond software implementation, support and maintenance services typically offered by software companies. In addition to these basic services, we also offer industry advisory services, business process improvement services and outsourcing services, such as help desk support, desktop management, enterprise software application management, asset management and custom software development. We also proactively sell additional IT and business consulting services to them. Through these services, we develop advisory

69

relationships with our customers, increasing the value we provide and strengthening our competitive position with each account. We also gain early insight into additional software requirements of our customers and create opportunities to cross-sell additional enterprise software applications.

Our Growth Strategy

Our goal is to be an integrated global enterprise solutions company offering a complete range of software products to meet the needs of large and mid-sized enterprises in our targeted vertical industries. We also seek to provide high quality, affordable, value-added services that complement our product offerings and enable our customers to enhance their IT use. The key elements of our growth strategy are to grow our business organically and through selective acquisitions. Specifically, we intend to:

Continue to expand and enhance our industry-specific products and expertise to strengthen our competitive advantages. We intend to continue to focus on offering high-quality solutions to our new and existing customers to address their specialized business, industry and regulatory requirements at an affordable cost. To accomplish this, we intend to:

• develop broader and deeper product functionality to address our customers’ expanding requirements;

• attract and retain employees with business and product expertise in our targeted vertical industries;

• develop additional geographically-specific functionality to address the increasingly local requirements of our customers and enable their expansion on a global basis; and

• provide additional delivery models, such as Software as a Service, or SaaS, to address the preferences of our customers, so that applications suitable for delivery in this manner can be accessed over the Internet on a subscription basis.

Capitalize on cross-selling opportunities into CDC Software’s installed customer base. As of December 31, 2007, CDC Software’s enterprise software applications and services had been purchased by over 6,000 companies worldwide. However, because the licensing and implementation of software solutions involves a significant capital investment, many customers may not purchase all of the modules or applications we offer to optimize their business at one time. Therefore, CDC Software’s large, global customer base provides us with a significant opportunity to sell our new software products, upgrades for existing applications and complementary business services. CDC Software’s sales force has specific sales and marketing personnel dedicated to penetrating our installed customer base. In addition, our business services customers include many companies that are not currently customers of our enterprise software applications, which presents opportunities to sell our enterprise software applications to business services customers in our targeted vertical industries. During 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, software sales to our growing base of customers increased as a percentage of our overall software license sales.

Enhance our customer relationships. With the broad range of services offered by our Global Services Group, we seek to enhance our customer relationships. We offer capabilities to address the broader strategic issues our customers face as their industries evolve, such as identifying leading industry practices and designing such processes into their systems. We also offer additional technical capabilities to enhance our customers’ existing systems or even operate their IT systems on an outsourced basis. We believe this expanded relationship with customers across the spectrum of their IT needs will increasingly become the trend and expectation of purchasers of strategic IT systems.

Selectively pursue acquisitions. We may continue to selectively pursue acquisitions to expand our product and service offerings, extend our geographic reach and grow our customer base. Since 2003, we have consummated over 20 acquisitions many of which have provided additional vertical expertise and solutions in our vertical industry portfolio. For example, in February 2007 we acquired Respond Group Limited, which added complaint and feedback management capabilities to our vertical CRM applications, and in October 2006 we acquired MVI Holdings Limited, which added real-time performance management capabilities to our portfolio of solutions for process manufacturing.

70

Target emerging markets for enterprise software applications. We believe that lower cost geographies, such as China and India, represent strong growth markets for enterprise software applications as many companies continue to relocate their operations to those regions due to lower overhead and labor costs. We intend to target opportunities in these emerging markets, as well as opportunities in Latin America and Eastern Europe. In particular, we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of the experience and infrastructure of CDC Corporation’s family of companies in China. We believe our enterprise software applications will have competitive advantages in our targeted vertical industries in these emerging markets.

Expand our in-house software development, services and support centers located in China and India. We perform increasing amounts of our software development, services, and support functions at our in-house development centers located in China and India. While our product development and design decisions are made locally, the actual development work has been increasingly moved offshore. In addition to our development centers in Shanghai and Nanjing, China, we have established a software development center in Bangalore, India to develop our vertical CRM products. Our Shanghai and Bangalore centers have achieved Microsoft Gold Certification. This shift has enabled us to expand the breadth of product development and accelerate delivery schedules while reducing overall development costs. By establishing our own offshore development centers, we believe that we maintain better control over product quality and development schedules than our competitors that have outsourced their development work to third parties. Additionally, locating some of our service and support activities offshore allows us to provide those functions more cost effectively while maintaining quality levels.

Expand into new vertical industries. We have been successful by focusing on our targeted vertical industries, and we intend to expand into new vertical industries where we believe we can establish a competitive advantage. We may pursue such expansion either through strategic acquisitions or through internal product development. We expect to target new vertical industries that have characteristics similar to our existing vertical industries, such as those characterized by complex customer and partner relationships, intricate regulatory requirements and/or sophisticated processes and procedures.

CDC Games Business Unit

Overview

Our CDC Games business unit pioneered the “free-to-play, pay for virtual merchandise” business model for online games in China, and is a leading operator of online games in China. CDC Games’ online game, Yulgang, which was launched in July 2004, was the first free-to-play, pay for virtual merchandise online role playing game in China.

CDC Games offers massive multiplayer online role playing games, or MMORPGs and massive multiplayer online games, or MMOGs, which are online games that allow thousands of users to interact with one another in a virtual world by assuming ongoing roles, or avatars, with different features. In addition to traditional MMORPGs, we also offer more casual games that appeal to a wider audience and enable us to introduce our products to non-gamers through our integrated operating platform. The interactive and group-oriented nature of these games along with the size of our user base helps us retain our current users and attract new users.

Our MMORPGs and MMOGs are action-adventure based, and draw upon fantasy, martial arts and combat themes. Typical features of our games include the following:

• Players assume the ongoing role, or alter-ego, of a particular game character, each with different strengths and weaknesses;

• Each game character may gain experience and, depending upon the game, may collect or purchase from us certain game features, such as weapons, armor, uniforms and magical power, which increases the status of the game character and, in the process, builds a strong game identity which makes the character unique in the virtual game world;

• Although each game character may be unique, groups of players may, and often must, form teams or alliances to fulfill certain game objectives. Players may communicate with each other through instant messaging or chat rooms during the game;

• Special events are held from time to time to stimulate group interest, such as “fortress raids” where players are encouraged to form groups and attack a particular fortress at a specified time; and

• In preparation for the commercial launch of a new game, we conduct closed beta testing of the game in an effort to eliminate technical problems. This closed beta testing is followed by open beta testing in which we allow registered users to play in open market conditions to ensure performance consistency and stability of the game platform and systems.

Current Games

Yulgang

Yulgang is a fantasy martial arts based MMORPG based upon a popular comic book series in Korea. The game creates a precise, rich and colorful cartoon-like virtual gaming world for online users using 2.5D graphics. In the game, players become martial artists and journey through a mythical realm learning martial arts, completing tasks and mastering skills. As they progress, players may choose factions to join and participate in massive battles for the honor of their factions. Players select a character class to play among bladesman, swordsman, archer, healer and spearman, and accumulate abilities and skills which can be carried over to the successively higher game levels. The game was awarded the “Top 10 Most Popular Games” award at the China Game Industry Annual Conference in both 2005 and 2006.

Yulgang can be accessed from any location with an Internet connection. Substantially all of the players in China access the game servers either from PCs at home or Internet cafe outlets equipped with multiple personal computers that have Internet access. Currently, a significant portion of CDC Games’ users access the game through Internet cafes throughout China.

In April 2008, we announced that we had commercially launched Yulgang 2.0, a significant content update for that game.

Special Force

Special Force, which was developed by, and which we have licensed from, Dragonfly GF Co., Ltd., is a first person shooter online game that originated in Korea. The game allows players to create their own elite military units with customized weapons and equipment selected from those used by special forces from around the world. Special Force has advanced 3D graphics and advanced special effects, and allows users nationwide to play against each other in teams and compete in competitions.

Shaiya

Shaiya is a fantasy-themed “free-to-play, pay-for-merchandise” MMORPG developed by and licensed from the Korean entertainment company, SONOKONG. In addition to its advanced graphics, Shaiya also contains music and sound effects produced by a large orchestra and choir. Players can choose to join either the Union of Fury or the Alliance of Light to take part in an epic feud where they can battle monsters or other players, and join with other players to battle for control of the continent.

Game Licensing

Mgame Corporation

In December 2003, we entered into our original game license agreement with Mgame Corporation for Yulgang. This agreement was subsequently supplemented in June 2004 to extend the term of our license for Yulgang to December 2007 and provide a 21% royalty on our revenue derived from Yulgang to Mgame. Furthermore, in March 2007, we entered into an additional supplementary agreement with Mgame pursuant to which we extended our exclusive license to Yulgang in China (excluding Hong Kong) through 2010.

On October 17, 2007, Mgame unilaterally announced that they terminated their agreements with CDC Games, alleging breach of contract for non-payment. In October 2007, we filed two lawsuits against Mgame. The first lawsuit alleged breach of contract and that Mgame was not providing adequate technical support for Yulgang, and that Mgame was not supporting CDC Games in its efforts to combat pirate servers. We subsequently filed a second lawsuit alleging that Mgame breached contractual obligations owed to us by failing to provide certain financial and operating data and other information which Mgame is required to provide to us as a shareholder of Mgame.

Following the announcement of our disputes with Mgame in October 2007 and until such time as we resolved these disputes in March 2008, revenues generated by Yulgang declined significantly.

In March 2008, we settled our disputes with Mgame by entering into an Amended and Restated Exclusive Game License Agreement and Settlement Agreement. Under these settlement agreements, CDC Games received exclusive distribution rights to Yulgang in China until March 2010 with an option to extend for an additional year. CDC Games also agreed to work together with Mgame to launch a Version 2.0 upgrade to Yulgang as soon as possible following the settlement. In addition, the settlement agreements provided that our license fee payable to Mgame would be increased to $4.5 million of which $4.0 million of would be paid by us in the form of shares of Mgame held by us. Additionally, we agreed to pay royalty payments equal to 25% of revenues in months where revenues are less than $2.0 million and 28% in months where revenues are greater than $2.0 million, and agreed to terminate the game license agreement with Mgame pursuant to which we received the exclusive right to distribute Wind Forest Fire Mountain, or WFFM, a combat MMORPG developed by Mgame.

In April 2008, we announced that we commercially launched Yulgang 2.0, a significant content update for that game. Revenues from Yulgang have continued to recover since the settlement of our disputes with Mgame, but have not reached the levels we experienced before our dispute arose.

Other Licensors and Developers

In addition to our license agreement with Mgame for Yulgang, to date, we have obtained our content through licensing arrangements with developers and other third parties. We have entered into license agreements with each of Dragonfly GF Co., Ltd. and SONOKONG for Special Force and Shaiya, respectively.

We also monitor the markets to identify and source new online games, particularly the markets in South Korea, Japan and the United States. The cost of licensing games from developers generally consists of an upfront licensing fee, which we generally pay in installments, and ongoing licensing fees, which are equal to a percentage of our revenues from the relevant licensed game. The ongoing royalties for games which have been licensed range from 17% to 29% of total sales before distributor discount. Each of these licenses provides us with the exclusive right to operate the game in Mainland China, and in some instances, certain other territories, including India. Generally, the MMORPG developers agree to timely provide, without any additional charge, with updates, enhancements and improvements developed for the games licensed to us. The majority of our game licenses require the licensors to provide technical support.

Game Development

While we do not currently have an in-house game development capacity, we are considering either internally developing or acquiring a research and development program.

Game Developer Program and CDC Games Studio. In August 2006 we introduced a Game Developer Program which included an aggregate of US$20.0 million allocated for investment in selected strategic online game developer partners globally. Under the program we sought and intend to seek to make investments in developers through direct cash investments, equity investments, lines of credit or a combination of these. The investments are intended to be used to help these partners build China culturally aware titles, and may be complemented by market research and game research from us. In March 2007, we expanded our online games developer program by forming CDC Games Studio. CDC Games Studio seeks to attract talented games development companies around the world that may already have operations in China or are seeking to relocate or expand into China to take advantage of the market demand for new games, talent in China available for games development and tax incentives available to companies developing games for domestic distribution as well as for export. CDC Games Studio looks to fund the creation of new online games, as well as acquire rights to develop game titles in China, with the goal of publishing and distributing them on a global scale. As of March 31, 2008, CDC Games has entered into definitive agreements for three investments under this program:

• Gorilla Banana. In December 2006, we entered into a subscription agreement pursuant to which we made an investment of KRW1.5 billion (approximately $1.6 million), payable in two installments, in Gorilla Banana Entertainment Corp., an independent online games development company in Korea. This investment, which was subject to certain regulatory approvals, was closed, and consideration was exchanged, upon receipt of these required approvals in first quarter of 2007. In connection with this investment, we acquired a minority equity stake in Gorilla Banana and options to increase our minority stake in the company during the 18 month period following closing. Furthermore, we also acquired the exclusive right to distribute Gorilla Banana’s game, Red Blood, based on a popular comic book series in Korea, India and China, in exchange for the payment of a royalty on gross revenues we may receive for this game. In addition, we also entered into a shareholders’ agreement with the existing shareholders of Gorilla Banana pursuant to which the parties agreed to certain uses of funding, preemptive and maintenance rights, rights of first refusal, restrictions on share transfers and sales, board representation rights, information rights and other matters. We have since incurred a loss of $1.1 million as a result of our investment in Gorilla Banana.

• Auran. In March 2007, we entered into a subscription agreement pursuant to which we made an initial investment of approximately $1.7 million in Auran, a developer of online games in Australia, and entered into a facilitation agreement whereby we would receive a percentage of revenues on the sales of Fury, an MMORPG developed by Auran. In connection with this investment, we acquired a minority equity stake in Auran and options to increase our minority stake in the company during the 6 month period following closing. In July 2007 we exercised our first option to purchase additional shares of Auran by paying an additional $1.7 million. We have since incurred a loss of $3.3 million as a result of our investment in Auran.

• Mgame. In March 2007, we entered into a subscription agreement pursuant to which we made an investment of $5.0 million in Mgame Corporation, one of South Korea’s leading developers of online games, including our current game, Yulgang. In connection with this investment, we acquired a minority equity stake in Mgame, for which we paid Mgame $5.0 million at closing. We also obtained rights relating to our access to information on Mgame, observation rights on Mgame’s board of directors, pre-emptive and anti-dilution rights, as well as a right for us to consent prior to the issuance of new debt by Mgame over certain monetary thresholds. Additionally, in March 2007, we entered into an exclusive game license agreement with Mgame pursuant to which we received exclusive rights to distribute the simplified Chinese version of Mgame’s next MMORPG, WFFM, in the PRC (including Hong Kong and Macau) until 2010. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement by and between us and Mgame under which we settled all disputes with Mgame, we transferred $4.0

76

million of the shares of Mgame purchased in March 2007 as partial payment of the license fee set forth in the Amended and Restated Game License Agreement and Settlement Agreement. Furthermore, we terminated the license agreement for WFFM pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.

Pricing

To date, we have adopted a “free-to-play and pay for virtual merchandise” business model for most of our currently-offered online games (with the exception of EVE Online) and anticipate that many of the games in our pipeline will operate on a similar business model. Under this model, game players are not charged for time spent in the virtual game world, but rather for purchasing value-added virtual merchandise and services through the online game shop, such as weapons, armor, uniforms and magical power. While such a business model has been previously utilized in Korea, Yulgang represents the first instance of such a business model being adopted for a large scale MMORPG in China.

Setting prices for virtual items is generally formulated as part of the underlying economic model for the game during its development. However, we have the ability to adjust prices for virtual items as part of tuning the game, although care must be taken that we will not upset the underlying economic model. We generally look at pricing curves to set and adjust prices for virtual merchandise offered. Pricing curves are developed primarily based on internal game factors such as the popularity of an item and the nature of the enhancing characteristics the item provides, as well as external game factors such as game cost, user game playing and the pricing of competing games in the market. We attempt to adjust prices of virtual merchandise based on the feedback of users and offer various discounts on merchandise from time to time; however, once pricing of virtual merchandise is set, it can be difficult to make significant adjustments to the prices during the game’s commercial lifecycle. We have generally maintained stable pricing curves for our games.

Payment

While most of our games are free to play, in order to purchase virtual merchandise for the game, users must purchase pre-paid points which are sold in both physical card form or can be purchased electronically online and through mobile sales partners. Each pre-paid card, purchased in physical form or electronically, contains a unique access code and password that enables users to add value to their account for our online games. As users purchase virtual merchandise in the gaming world, charges are deducted against the value in their account.

Distribution

We distribute pre-paid cards through an offline distribution system of physical pre-paid cards. We generally sell pre-paid cards to a group of regional distributors from whom we generally collect payment on a prepaid basis. These distributors resell the cards to sub-distributors that, in turn, distribute the cards directly to Internet cafes and other retail points of sale, such as software stores and newspaper booths. Our sales policies and distributor incentive systems generally discourage our regional distributors from distributing pre-paid cards of other online game operators. In 2007, we offered sales discounts that averaged between approximately 13% and 15% to our distributors. The sales discount represents the difference between the price at which we sell game cards to distributors and the face value of the game cards. For our physical cards, we estimate that our network reaches over 200,000 retail points of sale throughout China, over 75% of which are Internet cafes, which are one of the primary venues for users to play online games in China.

We have both online and mobile sales partners to distribute points for our games. Our mobile sales partners include China Mobile, China Unicom and China Netcom. Points may also be purchased online through several popular Chinese websites, such as www.cupoo.cn, www.cncard.com and www.996.com.

Customer Service

Since our inception, we have focused on providing excellent customer service in order to retain our existing customers, as well as attract new customers.

77

Game Masters. We have in-game game masters to constantly monitor our games to maintain an effective and fair gaming environment. Our game masters are responsible for organizing in-game events, troubleshooting and actively and continuously monitoring the online game environment. Game masters are always available to respond to players’ inquiries, initiate the bug reporting and removal process, as well as identify, record and deal with players’ inappropriate behavior such as cheating and fighting. We believe that utilizing game masters to monitor the gaming environment is an important element in maintaining customer loyalty and efficiently addressing technical problems as they arise.

Customer Service Center. Our centralized customer service center is located in Beijing, China, and is operated 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Customers may call or e-mail our customer service center any time and receive timely responses. As of December 31, 2007, we employed approximately 229 full time personnel in our call center as customer service specialists. In general, our customer service representatives are able to immediately handle approximately 65% of the inquiries from our customers, and provide solutions within 24 to 48 hours with respect to requests that cannot be resolved at the time of the initial customer call. All of our customer service representatives have participated in a formal training program before commencing work. We have implemented detailed performance measures to monitor our calls to ensure that our customers will receive quality service. We periodically review staffing needs and train our representatives to provide excellent customer service.

We also maintain reception areas in our offices in Beijing and Shanghai that are open to the public for customer service purposes.

Marketing

Our overall marketing strategy is to rapidly attract new customers and increase revenues from recurring customers.

We employ a variety of traditional and online marketing programs and promotional activities to build our brand and attract new customers, including advertising in many game magazines and online game sites that are updated regularly. In addition, we engage in on-site promotions, such as distributing free game related posters at selected Internet cafes, and in-game marketing from time to time, including player competitions in Internet cafes across the country and online adventures for prizes. We also conduct communications programs to establish and maintain relationships with key trade press and industry analysts.

Technology

We aim to build a reliable and secure technology infrastructure to fully support our operations. Our current technology infrastructure consists of the following:

• over 138 server groups and over 350 network devices located at 25 Internet data centers, in different sites regions throughout China. As of December 31, 2007, we owned a majority of the servers in the server network used for our game operations, and we leased the remainder from third-party telecommunications operators. All of the servers in the server network for our game operations are located on the premises of our hosting telecommunications operators.

• proprietary software and game monitor tools that are integrated with our websites and customer service center operations; and

• hardware platform primarily consisting of Lenovo, Hewlett-Packard/Compaq, Dell and IBM servers.

We have direct access to the Internet backbone. CDC Games also has contracts with reputable vendors such as Hewlett-Packard Company and Dell Inc. for warranty services for our hardware platform. As of December 2007 we employed 60 technical support staff to maintain our current technology infrastructure and develop new software features to further enhance the functionality of our membership management and payment system.

78

CDC Games has a network operation team responsible for stability and security of our network. The team follows the workflow for problem detecting, recording, analyzing and solving. The primary responsibilities of the team members consist of monitoring system performance, troubleshooting, detecting system error, random sample testing on servers, maintaining equipment, and testing, evaluating and installing hardware and software. In addition, we frequently upgrade our game server software to ensure the stability of our operation and reduce hacking risks.

Competition

The online game market in China is increasingly competitive. A significant number of competitors have entered the online game business in China and we expect more companies to do the same in the future. Additionally, we expect a wider range of online games to be introduced to the China market. Competition from other online game operators, both based in China as well as overseas, is likely to increase in the future. As the online game industry in China is relatively new and constantly evolving, our current or future competitors may compete more successfully as the industry matures. In particular, any of these competitors may offer products and services that provide significant performance, price, creativity or other advantages over those offered by us. Some of our existing and potential competitors have significantly greater financial and marketing resources than we do.

With respect to our online games business, we compete principally with the following three groups of companies in China:

• Online Game Operators, such as Shanda Interactive Entertainment Ltd. (NASDAQ: SNDA) which operates The Legend of Mir II, The9 Ltd. (NASDAQ: NCTY) which operates the World of Warcraft and Shanghai Everstar Online Entertainment Co. Ltd. which operates O2JAM and Audition;

• Major Internet Portal Operators, such as NetEase.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTES) which operates Fantasy Westward Journey and Westward Journey Online II, Sohu.com Inc. (NASDAQ: SOHU) which operates Tian Long Ba Bu (TLBB) and Blade Online (BO) and Tencent Holdings Limited (SEHK: 700) which operates QQ Fantasy and QQ Tang; and

• Domestic Online Game Developers such as Kingsoft Corporation Limited (SEHK: 3888) which operates Chun Qiu (CQ) and Shui Hu (SH), Perfect World Co., Ltd. (ADR) (NASDAQ: PWRD) which operates Perfect World, Perfect World II and Zhu Xian, Giant Interactive Group Inc. (NYSE: GA) which operates ZhengTu and NetDragon Websoft Inc. (SEHK: 8288) which operates Eudemons Online.

In addition, we compete for users against various offline games, such as console games, arcade games and handheld games, as well as various other forms of traditional or other online entertainment.

79

CDC Games’ Competitive Strengths

We believe CDC Games’ principal competitive strengths include the following:

Ability to localize games from leading and emerging international developer partners. We have partnered with leading global online game developers and successfully localized their products for the Chinese market. Through our network of relationships we have entered into licensing agreements to distribute, market and operate proven, high-quality titles at low cost, leveraging the significant investments our partners have made in game development. We believe that our localization capabilities, significant distribution network, established user base, and knowledge of the Chinese market make us well-positioned to obtain future licenses for leading online games in China and other rapidly growing Asian markets.

Substantial product pipeline and portfolio across game genres. We have secured a substantial product pipeline across online gaming genres which we believe will offer our community of users one of the most diverse game portfolios of online game operators in China. We believe that a diversified approach allows us to reduce the effect of “hit or miss” games, particularly as many of our titles have been tested and widely played in other countries. We believe that our diversification of leading titles positions us well to attract users in different genres, which we believe is important to address emerging consumer tastes and evolving PRC regulations.

Pioneer and leader in the “Free-to-Play” business model in China. As there is no charge to play games in our “Free-to-Play” business model, we believe that more prospective players are attracted to try our games. When combined with the high quality of the games we offer, we believe that players are often drawn to continue playing the game and to enhance their skill level and maximize their gaming experience by purchasing virtual items. As the pioneer of the free-to-play, pay-for-virtual-merchandise business model, we believe we have developed expertise not easily replicable by understanding both the art and science of the in-game item sales model, which includes understanding what items to sell, when to sell and who to sell to. In addition, through our leadership position in free-to-play games, intend to continue to attract game developers to license high-quality games to us for distribution and operation in China.

Extensive nationwide sales and marketing network. In order to play our online games, users must purchase prepaid points which are sold in physical form or can be purchased electronically online and through mobile sales partners. We have built a nationwide network in China to distribute our prepaid points and market our games through local media and Internet cafés. For our physical prepaid cards, we estimate that our network reaches over 200,000 retail points of sale throughout China, over 75% of which are Internet cafés, which are a key venue for online gamers in China. In addition, we have formed partnerships with China Mobile, China Unicom and China Netcom for mobile points card sales, and numerous Chinese websites, such as 1717gm.com, 51gw.com and 15173.com for online points card sales.

Advanced technology platform. We maintain an extensive national server network to host our online games. Due to the real-time interaction among thousands of users, the stable operation of an online game requires advanced data centers with numerous interconnected servers and continuous connectivity, representing significant capital investment and resources to grow and maintain. As of December 31, 2007, our nationwide server network in China consists of approximately 138 server groups with the capacity to accommodate approximately 800,000 concurrent online users. Due to China’s large geographical area and technological limitations, we have located servers for our online games in a number of regions throughout China. As a result, we believe that our users can play our games using servers located in their region and without exchanging data across the national network, thereby increasing the speed at which our games operate and enhancing the user experience. Additionally, we have developed and maintained proprietary security software which helps us combat unauthorized access to or use of our games by local hackers.

Scalable, high-margin business model. Our online games business is highly scalable with relatively low incremental operating costs. After incurring initial licensing and localization costs for our online games, we can deliver such products and services to a large online games audience quickly and at a low cost. Additional users can be accommodated and revenues generated without incurring significant costs other than those associated with implementing additional servers.

80

CDC Games’ Goals and Strategies

Our goal is to become one of the world’s leading providers of online games. Our strategies for achieving this objective include the following:

Utilizing our strategic investment program to strengthen ties to emerging and leading online game developers which we believe will enhance our game pipeline. We have introduced CDC Games Studio, through which we intend to make investments in selected strategic online game developer partners. We plan to partner with developers that have successful track records in the development of top quality and commercially successful online games. Under the program we seek to make strategic investments in these developers through direct cash investments, equity investments, lines of credit or a combination of these methods. We intend that these investments will be used to help these partners develop titles localized for the Chinese consumer and other markets we plan to target, and will be complemented by market and game research we will provide.

Continue to significantly expand and diversify our user and revenue base by continually adding new content and features to our existing portfolio of games while also introducing different genres of online games. We believe that one of our greatest assets is the large number of registered users we have been able to attract to our games. By releasing new versions of our existing games, updating items available for sale and adding new chapters, we believe that we can keep existing users interested in playing our games and can further expand our user base, thereby improving revenues per user and consequently overall game revenues. For example, in April 2008, we launched the Yulgang version 2.0, which provided gamers with enhanced abilities and content. In addition to the diversification of offerings within our current games, we intend to introduce different genres of online games into the market such as casual as well as different types of MMOGs outside of the traditional fantasy-based role-playing genre in order to reach the broadest audience possible.

Pursue cross-selling opportunities and diversify our sources of revenue. We intend to pursue cross-selling opportunities to expand and diversify our sources of revenues, such as seeking to generate advertising revenue from our online games. We believe the combination of our online games platform, our large registered user base and the large number of concurrent users playing our games will provide an established marketing platform for advertisers. Advertising opportunities include sponsorships, banner advertising, sponsored community events, contests and other activities. While we have not sought to grow our advertising revenues to date, we believe that such diversified sources of revenues represent a significant opportunity for us in the future.

Continue to expand our distribution, sales and marketing capabilities to further support our game offerings. We intend to continue to build our sales, marketing and distribution network in China and other targeted high-growth markets to reach the broadest audience possible. We plan to expand our partnerships with physical-point card distributors providing access to distribution points at software stores, Internet cafés, newspaper booths and other local media outlets while also increasing our partnerships with online and mobile distribution providers to ensure as many users across as many distribution channels as possible have knowledge of and access to our games. We plan to use our own CDC Games local ground marketing teams to complement our distribution partnerships by coordinating on-site promotional activities with administrators of Internet cafés and other locations where gamers spend a significant amount of time and initiate marketing campaigns with local media outlets to introduce our products to potential users. We also intend to develop innovative new marketing campaigns across other forms of media such as television to further promote our online game offerings and attract new users to try our games.

Continue to expand through acquisitions of online game companies in China and overseas markets as such opportunities arise. We intend to pursue this strategy by making a combination of minority-stake investments, joint ventures, acquisitions and organic development. We intend to complement our current content acquisition strategy by evaluating potential strategic acquisitions that we believe will further diversify our product portfolio, secure in-house development expertise and/or accelerate our expansion into foreign markets. We evaluate our product portfolio on a regular basis and will look for opportunities to acquire companies with a portfolio of titles that will broaden our community of users and provide differentiated product offerings for our current user base. For example, we believe casual games such as card games, board games and tile games, have a lower level of complexity and require less time to play, providing less experienced online game players with a means to become familiar with both game playing and the online game culture without making substantial commitments of time and resources. In addition to

81

genre expertise, we actively research strategic opportunities that will accelerate our international expansion efforts either through the acquisition of a localized product portfolio or an operating platform that will allow for the delivery and management of games in high-growth foreign markets.

Seek to expand our online game offerings into other international markets. In December 2007 we launched Minna de Battle, our first online game to be offered in Japan, and in February 2008, we launched Lunia, our first MMORPG commercially available in North America. We intend to continue our expansion in Japan and North America and expand into other online gaming markets exhibiting similar growth and user base characteristics to China. We hope to accomplish this through leveraging the current portfolio of titles and developer partnerships we have generated and by establishing operations in other territories by sub-licensing titles to proven online game operators in the key markets we have identified as expansion opportunities. We also intend to opportunistically partner with or acquire key developers and/or operators that provide a strong entrée into these targeted online games markets.

China.com Business Unit

Overview

During 2007, our China.com business unit was engaged in providing mobile services and applications and internet and medial products and services and was comprised of two segments, “Mobile Services and Applications” and “China.com”. In February 2008 we announced that, due to negative effects caused by the regulatory environment surrounding the MVAS industry in China, we decided to discontinue the operations of our Mobile Services and Applications business and currently, our China.com business unit is comprised of a single segment, “China.com”.

Total revenues for the China.com segment were $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. As a percentage of total revenues, revenues from our China.com segment constituted 2.8% of total revenues in 2007 and 3.3% of total revenues in 2006.

Products and Services

Mobile Services and Applications segment. During 2007, and in earlier periods, we offered a suite of mobile data applications, including dating, chatting, entertainment, information-related content and community services to mobile subscribers in China utilizing SMS, MMS, WAP and IVR services.

In June 2006 we were alerted to policy changes for all subscription services on China Mobile’s, or CMCC’s, Monternet platform, which affected the Company’s MVAS subscription services. These changes, which were implemented under the policy directives of China’s Ministry of Information Industry, aimed to address industry-wide objectives, including reducing customer complaints, increasing customer satisfaction and promoting the healthy development of the MVAS industry and CMCC’s Monternet.

As a result of these significant industry-wide directives, for the year ended December 31, 2007, our total mobile services and application revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $8.3 million, compared to $31.9 million for the year ended December 2006, representing a decrease of approximately 73.8%. During 2007, SMS and MMS continued to be our primary revenue generating businesses at China.com, representing approximately 52.1% and 23.6% respectively, of the total mobile services and applications revenue. The remaining revenues were mainly comprised of our WAP and IVR services.

As the regulatory environment for the MVAS industry continued to be difficult we determined that there was no reasonable instance where our MVAS business would be profitable in the foreseeable future. As a result, in February 2008, we announced that we were discontinuing our MVAS business and we have since discontinued these operations.

China.com segment. Our China.com business is focused on online entertainment and Internet products and services that target users in China and Chinese communities worldwide via our portal network ( and ). This segment also includes our Singapore-based travel trade publisher and organizer serving the travel and tourism industry in the Asia Pacific region. The China.com business offers the following products and services:

Portal. The services and products of our portal include online advertisement, search, enterprise service and mail services.

Travel and Trade Services. TTG publishes literature for the travel industry and organizes industry events. It is one of Southeast Asia’s most established information and access providers to the travel and tourism industry. TTG offers a wide range of travel and tourism media products, including publications, exhibitions, database management and Internet products. TTG also offers integrated marketing solutions and a platform for customers to showcase their products and services in the travel and tourism industry. TTG sells its products and provides services directly to its customers, such as travel associations and government agencies.

Internet Video. In November 2006, we announced that China.com launched a new service, v.china.com, which allows people to watch video clips from that site. We believe the v.china.com site is different from many other video sharing websites because its content comes from self-developed or co-developed video films or authorized pieces provided by contracted partners. We believe this approach helps address certain copyright issues which have long plagued the video sharing industry.

Furthermore, in August 2007, China.com signed a content agreement with Forbes. Under the agreement, Forbes.com will provide the China.com portal with a variety of content in English and in Chinese. In addition, during the third quarter of 2007, the China.com portal established a strategic partnership with www.globalsources.com (NASDAQ: GSOL), a leading business-to-business (B2B) media company and a primary facilitator of two-way trade with Greater China.

Recognizing the growth and potential of the online games sector in China, China.com also intends to expand its current games channel into an informational and interactive games platform and intends to forge strategic partnerships with leading domestic and international game developers to launch browser-based games, many of which are sports games, to help capture a fast growing market and to capture the advertising opportunities created by the 2008 Olympics. The portal is also expanding content on games-related news and information, offering the China.com games channel as an attractive choice for game advertisers. Additionally, in November 2007, China.com signed an advertising contract with Giant Interactive Group Inc. (NYSE: GA), one of the leading online games developers and operators in China.

Sales

Our China.com business unit is also focused on launching promotions both through our portals and the general media. Currently, we have approximately 58 sales and marketing personnel who are located throughout China, including in Beijing, Nanjing, Shandong, Guangdong and Hangzhou. Our primary sales and marketing initiatives focus on direct marketing through consumer portals like , which is not part of this Annual Report, and general media advertising in traditional media, including point-of-purchase promotions, newspaper and magazine advertisements, radio and TV advertisements.

Competition

Our China.com business unit also operates in an increasingly competitive environment and faces increasing competition for content, user traffic, ease of use and functionality. Such competitors include Chinese and/or English language based Web search and retrieval companies, including AltaVista Co., Apple Daily, ChinaByte, FindWhat.com, HotBot, HotWired Ventures, Lycos, Inc., Mingpao.com, MSN, Netease.com, Inc., Netvigator.com, Overture Services, Inc. (acquired by Yahoo!, Inc.), Shanghai Online, Sina Corporation, Sohu.com, Inc., Tom Online Inc. and Yahoo!, Inc. We also encounter increased competition from Internet service providers, Web site operators and providers of Web browser software, including Microsoft Corporation or Netscape Communications Corporation, that incorporate search and retrieval features in their products.

China.com’s Competitive Strengths

We believe that China.com benefits from strong brand recognition in China. As of June 2008, Alexa ranked our domain, www.china.com, in the range between 140 and 160th of all websites globally, and also ranked www.china.com as 14th among all simplified Chinese character websites, as measured by user traffic.

83

In addition, we believe China.com benefits from the growth of online advertising and its established strategic partnerships with Internet industry leaders in China.

China.com’s Goals and Strategy

Our goal for our China.com business is to be a leading portal company in China., and we intend to continue to place emphasis on the development of our portal network. We believe that the portal network will play a critical role in driving synergies among our other related businesses, including our online games business and will serve as a strategic and core business platform.

In addition, we have begun to implement a repositioning strategy for the portal network to sharpen its vertical focus, and extend the depth of its product offerings in selected channels which includes Automobile channel and Webgames channel.

China.com and CDC Mobile Strategic Partnerships, Agreements and Investments

Google. In July 2006, China.com and Google formed a strategic partnership, which was expanded in July 2007 to improve search experiences for Internet users in China. Under the agreement, Google’s WebSearch service will be embedded in China.com’s search box, allowing users to switch between online content and web page search. In addition, China.com intends to utilize Google AdSense program to deliver relevant advertisements that generate revenue and enhance the user experience.

Soufun. In 2005, China.com formed a strategic relationship with Soufun, one of China’s leading real estate websites. We believe this partnership has enriched our content in those channels and improve user’s experiences. The China.com portal will continue to broaden its partnership with leading websites in various vertical sectors.

Our Intellectual Property

We have acquired a significant amount of intellectual property and we are increasingly developing our own intellectual property. We regard the protection of our trademarks, service marks, copyrights, trade secrets, domain names, and other intellectual property rights as crucial to our success. We rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions and other similar measures to protect our proprietary information and technology. Copyrights or trademarks held by us, however, may be challenged or determined to be invalid. In addition to the protection generally available to unregistered trademarks under the laws of many jurisdictions, we also protect our trademarks through registration primarily in the United States and Canada, although we do seek such protection elsewhere in selected key markets. However, protection may not be available in every country in which our intellectual property and technology is used. Some countries, such as China, may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as in the United States and Canada. In particular, software piracy has been an issue in China for many software publishers. Policing the unauthorized use of our licensed technology is difficult as are the steps necessary to prevent the misappropriation or infringement of our licensed technology. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of our proprietary rights. Any of these claims, with or without merit, could result in costly litigation, divert our management’s time, attention and resources, delay our product shipments or require us to enter into royalty or license agreements.

As part of our confidentiality procedures, we have policies of entering into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, corporate alliance members, customers and prospective customers. We also enter into license agreements with respect to our technology, documentation and other proprietary information. These licenses are non-exclusive and generally perpetual. We provide for source code escrow arrangements under some of our license agreements. Despite the efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain the use of our products or technology that we consider proprietary and third parties may attempt to develop similar technology independently.

84

Most of our products do not contain the functionality to allow us to accurately track the numbers of users of our products at a customer site. Because some of our license agreements are for named-user licenses in which only a certain limited number of named individuals are permitted to use the software for which the license is granted, if our customers do not accurately report the number of users using our products or we cannot accurately track the number of users of our products at a customer site, we face the potential of lost revenues if the customer has a greater number of users than for which they have purchased licenses. License agreement provisions, such as requesting customers to perform annual self audits of the number of users at a customer site, provide only limited protection and are retrospective.

We currently sub-license and distribute the intellectual property and technology of third parties. As we continue to develop intellectual property and introduce new products and services that require new technology, we anticipate that we may need to obtain licenses for additional third-party technology. These existing and additional technology licenses may cease to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. In addition, it is possible that, in the course of using new technology, we or our agents acting on our behalf may inadvertently breach the technology rights of third parties and face liability for our breach. Our inability to obtain these technology licenses or avoid breaching third-party technology rights could require us to obtain substitute technologies of lower quality or performance standards or at greater cost which could delay or compromise the introduction of new products and services, and could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Legal Proceedings

As of June 2008, other than as set forth below, there is no material litigation pending against us. From time to time, we and our subsidiaries are a party to other litigation and claims incident to the ordinary course of business. While the results of such litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the final outcome of such other matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Class Action Lawsuit. A class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of our securities between July 12, 1999 (the date of our IPO) and December 6, 2000, inclusive. The complaint charges we and the underwriters in our IPO with violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint alleges that the prospectus used in our IPO was materially false and misleading because it failed to disclose, among other things, that (i) the underwriters had solicited and received excessive and undisclosed commissions from certain investors, in exchange for which the underwriters allocated to those investors material portions of the restricted numbers of the Company’s shares issued in connection with the IPO; and (ii) the underwriters had entered into agreements with customers whereby the underwriters agreed to allocate our shares to those customers, in exchange for which the customers agreed to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket at pre-determined prices.

In June 2003, the plaintiffs in the consolidated IPO class action lawsuits currently pending against us and over 300 other issuers who went public between 1998 and 2000, announced a proposed settlement with us and the other issuer defendants. The proposed settlement provided that the insurers of all settling issuers would guarantee that the plaintiffs recover $1.0 million from non-settling defendants, including the investment banks that acted as underwriters in those offerings. In the event that the plaintiffs do not recover $1.0 million, the insurers for the settling issuers will make up the difference. Under the proposed settlement, the maximum amount that could be charged to us insurance policy in the event that the plaintiffs recovered nothing from the investment banks would be approximately $3.9 million. We believe that we have sufficient insurance coverage to cover the maximum amount that we may be responsible for under the proposed settlement. The independent members of our Board of Directors approved the proposed settlement at a meeting held in June 2003. As of March 2005, outside counsel advised that the court has granted preliminary approval of the settlement, subject to certain conditions. In August 2005, the court preliminarily approved the settlement. In December 2006, the appellate court overturned the certification of classes in the six test

85

cases that were selected by the underwriter defendants and plaintiffs in the coordinated proceedings (the action involving the Company is not one of those test cases). In June 2007, the court entered an order terminating the proposed settlement based on a stipulation among the parties to the settlement. Plaintiffs have filed amended master allegations and amended complaints and moved for class certification in the six test cases, which the defendants in those cases have opposed. In March 2008, the court largely denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaints in the six test cases. It is uncertain whether there will be any revised or future settlement. If the litigation proceeds, we believe that we have meritorious defenses to plaintiffs’ claims and intends to defend the action vigorously.

ManTech International Corporation and ManTech Australia International Inc. In October 2005, ManTech International Corporation and ManTech Australia International Inc, filed a civil action against our subsidiaries CDC Australia Limited and CDC Australia (Praxa) Pty Ltd (collectively, “CDC Australia”), alleging that CDC Australia failed to pay AU$5.0 million that was retained as part of the consideration for the acquisition of Praxa Limited. In late 2005, CDC Australia filed and served a request for further and better particulars of the statement of claim and a request for the filing of security of costs. The plaintiffs have answered the requests for further and better particulars, and further directions as to the conduct of the action were given by the Court soon after plaintiff made payment of security for costs in January 2007. The parties are engaging in discovery and interrogatories under a new timetable, and other preliminary procedural steps through early 2008 have been set. At a hearing held in February 2008, plaintiffs filed and served answers to defendants’ interrogatories and a directions hearing was scheduled for March 2008. Plaintiffs have now requested additional discovery. We believe that the AU$5.0 million was rightfully retained by CDC Australia in accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement, and the action is without merit. We intend to vigorously defend such action. Management considers the outcome of any judgment on the lawsuit with respect to us to be uncertain and the amount of any expenditure from the lawsuit is not estimable.

Lam, Po Chiu Mark. In December 2003, Mr. Mark Lam filed a civil action in the High Court of Hong Kong against our subsidiary Ion Global (BVI) Limited alleging breach of contract in relation to a put option agreement under a share purchase agreement in an amount of approximately $0.7 million. Pleadings closed in April 2004 when Mr. Lam filed his reply to the defense filed by Ion Global. The case was largely dormant until late 2005 when the plaintiff sought and was granted leave to amend his statement of claim and to join CDC Corporation, our parent company, as a party. CDC Corporation was joined in July 2006. In January 2007, Mr. Lam also joined a member of our board of directors, Mr. Peter Yip, to the proceedings. An amended statement of claim and an amended defense have been filed by the plaintiff and defendants, respectively. Management considers the outcome of any judgment in this matter to be uncertain and the amount of any expenditure from this matter is not estimable. We believe that this action is without merit and intend to vigorously defend such action.

Marjorie Fudali. In June 2003, Majorie Fudali (“Fudali”) filed a civil action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against Pivotal Corporation, alleging that she was owed commission in the amount of $0.4 million plus override commissions under a compensation plan allegedly agreed between her and a former senior executive of Pivotal, and wages under District of Columbia wage laws. In early 2004, Pivotal’s motion to dismiss the wage law claim was granted. In July 2004, Fudali amended her claim to add a promissory estoppel ground. In August 2004, Pivotal filed a motion for summary judgment, which was denied by the Court, ruling that factual disputes existed, which should be resolved at trial. Shortly before the jury trial which was scheduled to occur in January 2007, Fudali alleged that new facts came into light and amended her damages claim to $2.3 million. As a result, the jury trial was adjourned. The jury trial took place in October 2007, and a verdict against Pivotal was returned. The Court ordered Fudali to provide a calculation of the amount that Fudali believes she may be entitled to based on the verdict. Fudali has provided two alternative calculations, in the amounts of $1.9 million and $1.8 million. Pivotal has challenged those calculations and is awaiting a hearing and the Court’s decision on the amount.

Jason Leedy. In August 2002, Mr. Jason Leedy filed a civil action against Vis.align, LLC, which we acquired in December 2006. Mr. Leedy has alleged that his employment with Vis.align had been wrongfully terminated, and severance pay and other amounts were owing to him, and sought damages in the amount of $0.3 million. After a jury trial in which a verdict favorable to Mr. Leedy was returned, the Court entered judgment in the amount of $0.4 million, which included $0.1 million in attorney’s fees and costs. Vis.align

86

has appealed to the Pennsylvania Superior Court. In September 2006, the Superior Court ordered that the judgment below based on the jury verdict be vacated, and that judgment be entered in favor of Vis.align notwithstanding the verdict. In November 2006, the Superior Court granted Mr. Leedy’s petition for rehearing en banc and withdrew its September 2006 decision. In March 2008, an evenly divided Superior Court issued two opinions, one in support of reversal of the trial court and one in affirmance of the trial court. As the Superior Court was evenly split, the trial court’s decision was affirmed by default, leaving the defendants liable for approximately $40.4 million. A petition requesting review by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court was filed in April 2008 and remains pending.

Asian Media Company Limited. Optic Communications Co., Ltd received an arbitration claim of approximately $0.5 million from Asian Media Company Limited claiming damages related to an alleged breach of contract under an undated 3-party agreement among Guangzhou Optic Communications Co., Ltd, Asian Media Company Limited and Changchun YaAo Resources Development Company Limited. We intend to vigorously defend such action. Management considers the outcome of this matter with respect to us to be uncertain and the amount of any expenditure from this matter is not estimable.

Chan. In March 2007, we filed suit against Steven Chan (“Chan”) and Bing Corporation (“Bing”), alleging that Chan and Bing illegally obtained option shares in CDC Corporation. In April 2008, Chan and Bing filed a cross-complaint against CDC Corporation and CDC Corporation Ltd. alleging breach of an oral contract and various tortious claims including interference with the exercise of purported options, and defamation. Chan and Bing currently allege damages: (i) in excess of $1.0 million arising from alleged inability to exercise stock options at more favorable dates, (ii) in excess of $0.2 million for various payments alleged to be due to Chan and/or Bing, and (iii) unspecified damages for libel.

Pure Biosciences. In June 2007, Pure Biosciences (“Pure”) filed a complaint in the Southern District of California asserting claims for breach of contract, breach of express warranty, breach of implied warranty of merchantability, breach of the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, and rejection of goods and/or revocation of acceptance related to a Software License and Professional Services Agreement and related Statement of Work and Master Work Order Pure entered into with Ross in March. In August 2007, Ross filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Pure did not respond to Ross’s motion, but instead filed an amended complaint in October 2007. In November 2007, Ross filed a second motion to dismiss, and in an order dated April 4, 2008, the Court granted Ross’s motion without prejudice. Pure filed its Second Amended Complaint In May 2008 asserting claims for breach of contract, breach of express warranty, and rejection of goods/revocation of acceptance and seeking attorney’s fees and damages of at least $0.2 million. Ross filed its third motion to dismiss in May 2008, arguing that Pure still failed to adequately allege that the software failed to conform to the terms of the parties’ License Agreement or the express warranty it contains and that Pure cannot state a claim based on alleged pre-contractual marketing statements because the License Agreement contains a merger clause. Pure filed its response in June 2008, and Ross’s reply is due June 23, 2008. The Company cannot predict when the final resolution of this litigation will occur, and it is not possible to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss with respect to this matter.

William McKenna (“McKenna”). In November 2007, McKenna filed a civil action in the District Court of Denver County, Colorado, against the Company’s subsidiary, CDC Software, Inc. alleging he was terminated from his position as a sales account executive in violation of public policy, based on his refusal to engage in allegedly improper sales practices. McKenna is seeking compensatory damages in an unspecified amount, damages for emotional distress and exemplary damages. In January 2008, the Company removed the case from the Colorado State Court to the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado and thereafter filed an answer, defenses and asserted a counterclaim alleging a breach of McKenna’s Proprietary Information Agreement with the Company. In addition, the Company filed a motion to transfer venue of this case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. In February 2008, McKenna filed an answer to the Company’s counterclaim, and the Company was notified that McKenna’s attorney requested permission to withdraw from the case. McKenna hired new counsel, who filed a response in opposition to the Company’s motion to transfer and moved to amend the Complaint to add a cause of action for alleged violations of the Colorado Wage Claim Act. The Company filed a reply in support of its motion to transfer in April 2008, and the parties are now waiting for the Court to rule on that motion. Later in April 2008, the Company filed a response in opposition to McKenna’s motion to

87

amend, and McKenna filed a reply in early May 2008, and the United States Magistrate Judge issued a written opinion recommending that the District Court Judge grant McKenna’s motion to amend, and the Company filed Objections later in May 2008. The parties have recently propounded written discovery. The Company cannot predict when the final resolution of this litigation will occur, and it is not possible to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss with respect to this matter.

Triton IP LLC. In April 2008, Triton IP, LLC filed a claim in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against defendants NetSuite, Inc., CDC Corporation and CDC Software Inc. alleging that our MarketFirst software infringed a patent owned by Triton through assignment. The plaintiff is seeking a permanent injunction against defendants, damages, costs, expenses, interest, attorneys’ fees and other restitutional remedies. The Company intends to vigorously defend such action. Management of the Company considers the outcome of this matter with respect to the Company to be uncertain and the amount of any expenditure from this matter is not estimable.

Vertical Computer Systems, Inc./NOW Solutions LLC (“Vertical” or “NOW”). In February 2003, Vertical Computer Systems (on behalf of itself and on behalf of NOW Solutions) filed a civil action in the state court in New York, New York, against the Company’s subsidiary Ross Systems, Inc. and others alleging, among other things, breach of contract, claims under contractual indemnifications and fraud arising from the February 2001 sale of assets from Ross’s HR/Payroll division to NOW Solutions. The action sought $5.0 million in damages. In April 2003, Ross filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, which was granted in November 2003. The plaintiff appealed and its appeal was granted in October 2004. The matter was remanded to the trial court for adjudication. In May 2006, both Vertical and Ross filed a summary judgment motions against each other. In November 2006, the Court denied these summary motions, finding that factual issues existed to be resolved at trial. In March 2004, the Company’s subsidiary Ross filed a separate civil action against NOW in state court in New York, New York seeking payment of the final $0.8 million installment due under a promissory note executed by NOW in connection with the February 2001 HR/Payroll division asset sale. In November 2004, NOW asserted counterclaims against Ross raising the same contractual issues asserted in the Vertical v. Ross action, as well as additional contractual claims related to the 2001 asset sale, seeking a total of approximately $15.0 million in damages. In December 2004, Ross filed a motion to dismiss certain of the counterclaims, which he Court granted in February 2005, thereby reducing the total damages being sought in NOW’s counterclaims to approximately $5.0 million. In May 2006, Ross filed a motion for partial summary judgment that was granted in part. A jury trial of both the Vertical v. Ross and Ross v. NOW actions took place in March and April 2007 following which the Court directed certain verdicts in favor of NOW, and certain verdicts in favor of Ross. In September 2007, the Court entered a final judgment against Ross in the amount of $1.3 million in damages, $0.9 million in attorney’s fees and costs, and $0.9 million in pre-judgment interest, for a total judgment against Ross of $3.2 million. In November 2007, Ross filed a Notice of Appeal, thereby commencing its appeal from the Court’s trial rulings. In February 2007, NOW Solutions, Inc, the alleged successor-by-merger to NOW Solutions, LLC, filed an action in the state court in New York, New York, against Ross, although Ross has yet been served with the Complaint. In this action, NOW Solutions, Inc. asserts claims for breach of contract and attorney’s fees based upon facts similar to those in the above action, seeking $4.1 million in damages. The Company believes that this action filed in February 2007 is duplicative of the claims that have already been litigated through trial as referred to above, and is without merit, and the Company intends to vigorously defend the same. The Company accrued $0.3 million, $2.9 million and $3.2 million at December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Corporate Structure in China for our CDC Games and China.com Business Units

Overview

Internal Restructuring. In December 2006, we completed our plans for an internal restructuring of CDC Games pursuant to which CDC Games was moved from within China.com to become a direct business unit of CDC Corporation. The independent shareholders of China.com, present in person or by proxy at China.com’s shareholders meeting, approved the restructuring.

In connection with the restructuring, CDC Games entered into a stock purchase agreement whereby it acquired all issued and outstanding shares of its common stock for a purchase price of $110 million. Of such amount, $50 million was paid in cash at closing and $60 million was funded through CDC Games’ issuance of a note bearing interest at 5% per annum, due June 28, 2008. This note was paid in full on June 27, 2008.

Businesses. As of March 31, 2008, CDC Games operates in the online games business segment in China through 17game and Optic. As of March 31, 2008, China.com, a 77% owned subsidiary of CDC Corporation, operates our China.com business segments in China.

CDC Games and China.com make investments in each of these business units mainly through offshore holding vehicles registered in the British Virgin Islands or Cayman Islands.

Trust Deed Arrangements

To comply with legal and regulatory considerations in China, each of CDC Games and China.com conducts a significant portion of the operations of these business units through domestically registered companies in China, referred as ICPs, which are held under trust deed arrangements. Under these trust deed arrangements, the trustees are employees of CDC Games or China.com who are Chinese nationals and the 100% beneficiaries of the trusts are offshore holding vehicles registered in the British Virgin Islands or Hong Kong.

With respect to our Newpalm business, we have formed two ICPs, Beijing Newpalm Technology Co., Ltd., or Beijing Newpalm, and Beijing Wisecom Technology Co., Ltd., or Beijing Wisecom. Two of China.com’s employees, Mr. Wang and Ms. He, each own 50% of Beijing Newpalm and Mr. Wang and Mr. Fang each own 50% of Beijing Wisecom. Beijing Newpalm and Beijing Wisecom are held under trust deed arrangements under which Mr. Wang, Ms. He and Mr. Fang also serve as trustees of the trusts. China.com Corp. Limited is the holding vehicle of China.com incorporated in Hong Kong which is the 100% beneficiary of the trusts.

With respect to our Shenzhen business, the ICP is Shenzhen KK Technology Ltd., or Shenzhen KK. Two of China.com’s employees have ownership interests in Shenzhen KK with Mr. Wang and Ms. each owning 50% of Shenzhen KK. Shenzhen KK is held under trust deed arrangements under which Mr. Wang and Ms. He also serve as trustees of the trusts. Unitedcrest Investments Limited is the offshore holding vehicle of China.com registered in the British Virgin Islands which is the 100% beneficiary of the trusts.

Use of Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises

The ICPs Beijing Newpalm and Beijing Wisecom (for Newpalm), Beijing China.com (for the China.com Portal) and Beijing He He (for Go2joy) and Beijing Timeheart (for TimeHeart) act as the primary revenue generating entities of each business unit. In order to provide, among other things, more effective controls over these ICPs, each of the respective beneficiaries of the trusts, under the trust deed

91

arrangements for these business units, has formed and invested in a wholly foreign owned enterprise, or WFOE, to act as a long term exclusive partner of the ICP. WFOEs are limited liability companies established under the Chinese Company Law, the shareholders of which are permitted to be 100% foreign (not Chinese nationals).

As the long term exclusive partner of the ICP, the respective WFOE for the ICP provides technical and logistical support for the day to day operations of the ICP, including sales and marketing, billing, and administrative services. To facilitate the delivery of the technical and logistical support, the WFOE owns the physical assets, including servers, switches and computers, and employs the technical, sales and administrative personnel necessary to deliver these services.

Material Weaknesses

Management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, utilizing the criteria described in the “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The objective of this assessment was to determine whether the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007. That assessment identified the following control deficiencies as of December 31, 2007, that constituted material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Financial Statement Close and Reporting

Management has concluded that a material weakness exists in documentation and procedures relating to the financial statement close process that result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

96

Specific control deficiencies identified relating to the financial statement close process include:

• Lack of policy, procedures, and controls including review and approval procedures to ensure that financial statements for external purposes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles including periodic in-depth review of the proper application of generally accepted accounting principles to the specific facts and circumstances of each of our businesses;

• Lack of adequate controls and procedures to mitigate the risks associated with decentralized accounting operations and systems;

• Lack of adequate policies and procedures with respect to journal entries and account reconciliations, including insufficient supporting detail and inconsistent evidence of management review; and

• Lack of sufficient personnel with appropriate skills and experience to properly prepare journal entries and account reconciliations and to do so in a timely manner.

These control deficiencies related to the financial statement close process affect all of our significant accounts. As a result of these control deficiencies, management recorded material adjustments to the financial statements during the year ended December 31, 2007. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to the annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Income Taxes

Management has also concluded that a material weakness exists in accounting for income taxes that results in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Specific control deficiencies identified relating to the accounting for income tax process include:

• Lack of procedures and controls related to the preparation and review of the tax provision designed to ensure that our deferred tax provision and deferred tax asset and liability balances are accurate and determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; and

• Lack of sufficient personnel with appropriate skills and experience to properly account for income taxes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of the tax provision and deferred tax asset and liability balances that would result in a material misstatement to the annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Treasury Management

Management has concluded that a material weakness exists in the management of our investments and other treasury related activities that result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected. This limits our ability to effectively manage risk in the treasury/capital transactions component of our strategy and could result in unexpected losses and adjustments to the carrying value of investments and derivatives employed by us.

97

Specific control deficiencies identified relating to the treasury management process include lack of sufficient personnel with appropriate skills and experience to adequately assess and monitor the accounting, economics, performance and risks related to complex treasury transactions.

The above material weakness resulted in the temporary event of default on our $168 million Convertible Notes as disclosed in Footnote 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Because of the material weaknesses described above, our management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the COSO. The attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm is included in Part III, Item 18. “Financial Statements” of this report under the captions entitled “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm”.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management has taken the following steps during 2007 to begin the remediation process:

• Hired a Chief Accounting Officer and additional accounting staff with the technical accounting skill to comply with generally accepted accounting principles.

• Increased accounting resources in November 2007 to assist the accounting group in beginning the remediation process on the material control weaknesses noted above and to improve the timeliness and quality of account reconciliations in preparation for the year end reporting process.

• Redesigned the account reconciliation process to provide better support for account balances and to ensure all significant accounts are reconciled as a part of the year end close process.

• Increased detailed reviews of account balances with additional accounting staff to compensate for the control weaknesses identified.

• Improved our consolidation process to help ensure complete and accurate accounting for all entities.

Remediation activities are underway but have not been fully implemented.

Remediation Steps to Address Material Weaknesses

Our executive, regional and financial management are committed to achieving and maintaining a strong control environment. In addition, management remains

98

committed to the process of developing and implementing improved corporate governance and compliance initiatives. Our management team has been actively working on remediation efforts as discussed above to address the material weaknesses, as well as other identified areas of risk. In 2008, we have taken the following additional steps to remediate our material weaknesses:

• Hired a Vice President of Tax.

• Assigned acting Treasurer duties to lead finance person in Hong Kong.

Management has applied the above remediation steps and incorporated substantive review procedures during the year end financial statement close process to compensate for the control weaknesses relating to reporting the financial results as of December 31, 2007.

Prospectively, we intend to undertake further efforts to remediate the control weaknesses identified, including:

• We are in the process of developing, and/or clarifying existing accounting policies related to estimates involving significant management judgments, as well as other financial reporting areas. The new policies are intended to ensure appropriate review and approval, define minimum documentation requirements, establish objective guidelines to minimize the degree of judgment in the determination of certain accruals, enforce consistent reporting practices, and enable effective account reconciliation, trend analyses, and exception reporting capabilities;

• We plan to hire additional tax personnel and a full time treasurer to help address the material weaknesses in these areas;

• We plan to make further additions to our accounting staff to allow for an improved process of month end account reconciliations that includes a more timely reconciliation processes with enhanced review processes of significant accounts and accounting entries including income taxes;

• We plan to complete the consolidation of our entities into geographical centers to leverage our technical accounting resources and to reduce the complexity in our month end consolidation process by eliminating duplicative accounting processes and to leverage the use of a common general ledger and financial reporting system; and

• We are planning to have our regional controllers take the following steps to improve internal control over financial reporting:

• Conducting reviews of accounting processes to incorporate technology improvements to strengthen the design and operation of controls;

• Formalizing the process, analytics, and documentation around the monthly analysis of actual results against budgets and forecasts conducted within the accounting and finance departments;

• Improving quality control reviews within the accounting function to ensure account analyses and reconciliations are completed accurately, timely, and with proper management review; and

• Formalizing and expanding the documentation of our procedures for review and oversight of financial reporting.

We intend to continue to monitor our internal controls and our progress on the remediation steps identified above and, if further improvements or enhancements are identified, take steps to implement such improvement or enhancements.

We believe the measures described above, once designed and operating effectively, will remediate the material weaknesses we have identified and strengthen our internal control over

99

financial reporting. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will diligently and vigorously review our financial reporting controls and procedures. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may determine to take additional remediation measures or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures described above.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, goodwill and intangible assets, business combinations, valuation of derivative financial instruments, fair value of investments not actively traded, capitalization of software costs, investments, accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax valuation allowance, stock based compensation, and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our significant accounting policies are described in “Note 2- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Item 18- Financial Statements.

We believe the following critical accounting policies are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of our accounting policies that affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period. In some circumstances, we recognize revenue on arrangements that contain certain acceptance provisions when we have historical experience that the acceptance provision is perfunctory. Our agreements with our customers, resellers and distributors do not contain product return rights. If the fee is not fixed or determinable due to the existence of extended payment terms, revenue is recognized periodically as payments become due, provided all other conditions for revenue recognition are met. Discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period in which the related revenue is recorded. Such provisions are calculated after considering relevant historical data.

We generate revenue from five primary sources: Software, Global Services, CDC Games, China.com and MVAS. We recognize revenue in accordance with US GAAP. The specific literature that we follow in connection with its revenue recognition policy includes the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”), as amended by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions,” Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Emerging Issues Task Force

100

(“EITF”) 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” EITF 00-3, “Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware,” and in certain instances EITF 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent” (“EITF 99-19”) and SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” (“SOP 81-1”). In addition to these basic criteria, the following are the specific revenue recognition policies we follow for each major stream of revenue by reporting segment.

Software

We generate software revenue from the sale of software licenses, and the maintenance and services for such software licenses. Such sales often include a combination of software consulting and integration services, implementation training and maintenance services. We allocate the arrangement fee in these multi-element arrangements to each individual element using its relative fair value as based on vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). VSOE of fair value is typically determined by the customary price charged for each element when sold separately after the application of any standard approved discount. In the case of an element not yet sold separately, VSOE of fair value is the price established by authorized management if it is probable that the price, once established, will not change before market introduction. Where fair value exists for all undelivered elements of the arrangement but not the delivered elements, we apply the “residual” method of accounting and defer revenue allocated to the undelivered elements while recognizing the residual revenue allocated to the delivered elements. In the absence of VSOE of fair value for any undelivered element, we defer the entire arrangement fee and recognize revenue when all undelivered elements are delivered assuming all other basic criteria for revenue recognition have been met. We recognize revenue from services separately from license fees revenue because the service arrangements qualify as “service transactions” as defined by SOP 97-2. The factors considered in determining whether the revenue should be accounted for separately include the nature of the services and whether the services are essential to the functionality of the licensed product, availability of services from other vendors, and the impact of payment timing on the realizability of the software license fee.

Software license revenue is normally generated through licensing with end-users, value-added resellers (“VARs”) and distributors, and through the sale of the software with or incorporating third-party products. VARs and distributors do not have rights of return, price protections, rotation rights, or other features that would preclude revenue recognition. When software licenses are sold indirectly to end-users through VARs, we recognize as revenue only the net fee receivable upon sell-through to the end-user. License revenue from distributors is calculated at an agreed upon percentage of the distributors’ net selling price to the end-user. We typically do not earn any portion of fees for services provided by the distributor to the end-user. We earn maintenance fees based on an agreed upon percentage of the maintenance fees that the distributor earns from the end-user.

When software licenses incorporating third-party software products are sold or sold with third-party products that complement our software, we recognize as revenue the gross amount of sales of third-party products. The recognition of gross revenue is in accordance with criteria established in EITF 99-19 because we are ultimately responsible for the fulfillment and acceptability of the products purchased, have full latitude in establishing pricing and assume all credit and general inventory risks.

Revenue related to consulting and integration services and the provision of training services for software products are deferred and recognized as the services are delivered, assuming all other basic criteria for revenue recognition have been met.

101

Revenue related to maintenance agreements on software products is deferred and recognized ratably over the terms of the agreements which are normally one year.

We make provisions for discounts and rebates to customers and other adjustments in the same period in which the related revenue is recorded. Such provisions are calculated after considering relevant historical data.

Recognition of revenue from the licensing of our software products requires management judgment with respect to determination of fair values and in determining whether to use the gross versus net method of reporting for certain types of revenue. The timing of our revenue recognition could differ materially if we were to incorrectly determine the fair value of the undelivered elements in an arrangement for which we are using the “residual” method. The composition of revenue and cost of revenue would change if we made a different assessment on the gross versus net method of reporting sales of software licenses which incorporate third-party software products.

Global Services

We generate global services revenue from information technology services, eBusiness consulting, web development and outsourcing.

We recognize revenue from time and materials outsourcing contracts as the services are delivered assuming all other basic criteria for revenue recognition have been met.

We recognize revenue from the design, development and integration of Internet web sites and mobile phone devices using contract accounting based on either client acceptance of completed milestones or using the cost-to-cost percentage-of-completion method. We use the cost-to-cost method based on hours incurred as a percentage of the total estimated hours to complete the project because our historical experience has demonstrated that it produces a reliable indication of the progress on each engagement. We regularly reevaluate estimates of total projected contract costs and revise them if appropriate. Any adjustments to revenue due to changes in estimates are accounted for in the period of the change in estimate. When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred on a contract upon completion, a provision for the expected loss is recorded in the period in which the loss becomes evident. Historically, we have not experienced material losses on fixed-price contracts. The majority of our contracts are short term in duration, and the use of the completed contract method would not result in a material difference in the timing of revenue recognition. Some projects include acceptance clauses requiring customers’ sign-off at the conclusion of the projects. Historically, we have not experienced projects where sign-off or acceptance has been withheld by a customer resulting in a material loss on a project. Recognition of revenue using contract accounting requires judgment with respect to the method used. The timing of our revenue recognition could differ if we were to use a different methodology for estimating progress to completion, such as an output method based on milestones for contracts where we currently use an input method such as hours incurred.

Revenue from Internet web site maintenance agreements is deferred and recognized ratably over the terms of the related agreements, which are usually for periods of six months or one year.

Database and marketing support services include list rental, database development and supply, data analysis and call center services. Revenue is recognized when the service or list has been delivered assuming all other basic criteria for revenue recognition have been met.

102

Advertising revenue arising from direct mailing or placement of print advertising is recognized when the advertisements are sent or published, assuming all other basic criteria for revenue recognition have been met.

We derive advertising and marketing services revenue from consulting services, marketing database and support services, online and print advertising, and our Internet media business which is focused on online entertainment and Internet products services that target users in China via our portal network.

Advertising and marketing consulting services revenue for fixed price contracts is recognized upon completion of contractual milestones which are specified in the contracts along with pricing, payment terms and project timetable. Revenue from time and materials outsourcing contracts is recognized as the services are delivered, assuming all other basic criteria for revenue recognition have been met.

CDC Games

CDC Games revenue is principally derived from the provision of online game services in China. We operate our MMORPGs under two models. The first revenue model is the traditional subscription based pay-to-play, where users purchase PP-Cards to play for a fixed number of hours. The second revenue model is free-to-play, under which players are able to access the games free of charge but may choose to purchase in-game merchandise or premium features to enhance their game playing experience, such purchases can only be made through the use of PP-Cards.

All PP-Cards are sold to distributors and retailers across the country, from whom the Group collects payment on a prepaid basis. The distributors then resell the cards to end users and other retail points. The Group offered sales discounts primarily ranging from 13%-15% to distributors or retailers. The sales discount represents the difference between the price at which the PP-Cards are sold and the face value of the PP-Cards.

The end users are required to activate their PP-Cards by using access codes and passwords to exchange the value of these cards to game points and deposit into their personal accounts. They consume points for online game services by trading them either for a pre-specified length of game playing time or in-game merchandise or premium features sold at online game stores.

All prepaid fees received from distributors are initially recognized as deferred revenue and revenue is recognized when the registered points are consumed for the our online game services, i.e., when game playing time occurs or in-game merchandise or premium features are delivered, or when the end customers are no longer entitled to access the online game services after the expiration of the PP-Cards. Distributors are permitted to return unsold prepaid cards under certain conditions, including termination of game and disqualification of distributor status. Returns of PP-Cards during 2006 and 2007 were not material.

China.com

Revenue from internet and media mainly represents revenue from advertising, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period in which the advertisement is displayed, and when collection of the resulting receivable is probable, provided that no significant obligations of the Company remain. Advertising service fees from direct mailings are recognized when each advertisement is sent to a target audience.

MVAS

We generate mobile services and applications revenue from a comprehensive suite of mobile data applications, including dating, chatting, fortune telling, entertainment, information-related content and community services to mobile subscribers in China utilizing SMS, MMS, WAP and IVR services. We rely on mobile network operators in China to bill mobile phone users for our subscription fees. We have revenue sharing arrangements with China Mobile and China Unicom under which we receive 70% to 85% of the subscription fee collected from a mobile subscriber, with the balance being retained by the mobile operators. In addition to our charges, the mobile operators separately charge their subscribers RMB 0.10 to RMB 1.00 for every SMS, MMS or WAP message sent. These amounts are collected by the mobile operators and are not shared with us.

MVAS revenue is recognized in the month in which the services are performed, provided that all other basic criteria for revenue recognition have been met. The mobile operators provide statements after month-end indicating the amount of fees that were charged to users for mobile services and applications services that we provided during that month and the portion of fees that are due to us in accordance with our contractual arrangements with the mobile operators. We typically receive these statements within 30 to 90 days following month-end, and we typically receive payment within 30 to 90 days following receipt of the statement. We also maintain an internal system that records the number of messages sent to and messages received from mobile users. There are differences between the expected value of delivered messages based on our system records and our portion of the fees confirmed by the mobile operators for the delivered messages. These differences may result from the user’s phone being turned off, problems with the mobile operators’ networks or our billing system or other issues which prevent delivery of our services to users. These are known in the industry as billing and transmission failures. We do not recognize revenue for services which result in billing and transmission failures. Billing and transmission failures can vary significantly from month to month, province to province and between mobile operators. At the end of each reporting period, where an operator fails to provide us with a monthly statement confirming the amount of charges billed to their mobile phone users for that month, we use the information generated from our internal system and historical data to make estimates of the billing and transmission failures and accrue as revenue the estimated amount of collectable mobile services and applications fees. If an actual discrepancy varies significantly from our estimate, it could result in an overstatement or understatement of revenue and costs of revenue.

We are also required to pay some of our content providers either monthly fee or a percentage of the revenue received from or confirmed by the mobile operators, with or without a minimum guaranteed payment, with respect to services incorporating the content providers’ products. In calculating the fees payable to these providers, we reduce the amount of the fee payable by our estimate of account billing and transmission failures which may have been applicable to the services incorporating these products. If we receive confirmation of billing or transmission failures which differ from our estimate after we make payments, we do not ask for refunds, make additional payments, or make adjustments with respect to fees payable for future periods. If the assumptions we use in making such estimates prove inaccurate, we may have paid, and may continue to pay, fees to such providers which are disproportionate to the amount we have been paid for the services.

Recognition of MVAS revenue requires judgment with respect to the estimation of revenue not yet confirmed by the mobile operators at the end of a period, and whether to use the gross versus net method of reporting revenue. We regularly re-evaluate our EITF 99-19 assessment as the mobile services environment continues to evolve with the transition to new platforms and significant changes in the operating practices of the network operators. The

104

composition of revenue and cost of revenue would change if we made a different assessment on the gross versus net basis of reporting. Our estimates also rely to some extent on our historical experience. We believe we have the ability to make reasonable estimates. However, material differences in the amount and timing of our revenue and cost of revenue could result during any period because of differences between the actual billing and transmission failure rate per the mobile operators’ statements and our estimates based on our internal records and historical experience, or if we were to use a different methodology for estimating the billing and transmission failure rate applicable to unconfirmed revenue. In the future we may also change our estimation methodology based on future experience or if there are changes in the manner in which the mobile operators confirm revenue.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Our long-lived assets include goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized. All other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Goodwill is assigned to reporting units based on the reporting unit classification of the entity to which the goodwill is attributable. We have determined our reporting units based on an analysis of our operating segments: (a) the nature of products and services; (b) the nature of the production process; (c) the type and class of customers; (d) the method to distribute products or provide services; and (e) the nature of regulatory environment. In 2007 we reallocated the goodwill from our acquisition of Vis.align from our Software segment to our Global Services segment. Vis.align was originally acquired in December of 2006 and the goodwill was assigned to the Software segment. However, during the integration process, management determined that Vis.align’s product and service offerings were more closely aligned with our Global Services segment, therefore all of the goodwill recognized in connection with this acquisition was reallocated from our Software segment to our Global Services segment.

Our intangible assets represent trademarks and trade names, uniform resource locators (“URLs”), software applications and programs, customer base and contracts, and business licenses and partnership agreements. Definite-lived intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the greater of the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective asset or the undiscounted cash flows method. The estimated useful lives of these intangible assets are as follows:

Trademarks	Indefinite
Trade names	3 to 5 years
URLs	20 years
Software applications and programs	3 to 7 years
Customer base and contracts	1 to 10 years
Business licenses and partnership agreements	1 to 7 years

We test goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31. This testing, carried out using the guidance and criteria described in SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” compares carrying values to fair values at the reporting unit level and, when appropriate, the carrying value of these assets is reduced to fair value. Factors that could trigger an impairment charge include, but are not limited to, significant changes in our overall business or in the manner or use of the acquired assets, underperformance against projected future operating results, and significant negative industry or economic trends. Any impairment losses recorded in the future could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations for the periods in which such impairments occur.

105

During 2006 and 2007, we performed the required impairment tests on goodwill and intangibles with an indefinite useful life. Management judgment is required with respect to the identification of reporting units based on our internal reporting structure that reflects the way we manage our business or operations, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, and assigning goodwill to reporting units. Significant judgment is also required to estimate the fair value of reporting units including estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates, estimating the applicable tax rates, projecting future industry trends and market conditions, and making other assumptions. The use of different estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit. If we change our estimates and assumptions in the future based on changes in our overall business or in the manner or use of the acquired assets, underperformance against projected future operating results, or significant negative industry or economic trends, such changes might result in an impairment charge.

During 2006, the regulatory environment for the MVAS industry in China changed, and we believe that market conditions will continue to be challenging for the entire MVAS sector in the future. Since the onset of the regulatory changes, we have significantly reduced headcount and the marketing promotion expenses incurred for the MVAS business. In 2007, we explored various strategies to achieve long term growth. These strategies included: (i) continue to move further upstream into the content provider segment of the business; (ii) continue to launch popular mobile games; and (iii) develop mobile applications for enterprises and government offices in China.

However, as the regulatory environment for the MVAS industry continues to be difficult and we see no reasonable instance where our MVAS business may turn profitable in the foreseeable future, in February 2008, we announced that we were in the process of reducing the MVAS workforce and intended to scale down our emphasis on this business. Later in 2008, we made the determination that we were winding down the operations of the MVAS business and would discontinue this segment.

During 2006, we were not required to record any impairment. During 2007, we determined that all of the goodwill associated with our MVAS segment was impaired. Therefore, we wrote off all of the $71.1 million of goodwill that was assigned to this segment. See the “Results of Operations” section where this is discussed further.

We also annually review and adjust the carrying value of amortized intangible assets if facts and circumstances suggest they may be impaired. If this review indicates that amortized intangible assets may not be recoverable, as determined based on the undiscounted cash flows of the entity acquired over the remaining amortization period, the carrying value of intangible assets will be reduced by the estimated shortfall in discounted cash flows. Management judgment is required in the assessment of useful lives of amortized intangibles, and our estimates of future cash flows require judgment based on our historical and anticipated results and are subject to many factors including our assessment of the discount rate used and the amounts and timing of future cash flows. We performed the required impairment reviews during 2006 and 2007 and determined that we were required to record Nil and $2.4 million of impairment charges related to our MVAS segment, respectively (see the “Results of Operations” section where this is discussed further). The use of different estimates and assumptions might have resulted in an impairment charge, or might result in an impairment charge in the future. As of December 31, 2007, $124.7 million of our identifiable intangible assets were subject to amortization.

106

Business Combinations

We have made a number of acquisitions and may make strategically important acquisitions in the future. When recording an acquisition, we allocate the purchase price of the acquired company to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. These allocations require us to make significant estimates and assumptions which include future expected cash flows from license sales and customer contracts and acquired technologies, discount rates, and assumptions regarding the period of time the acquired technology or customer relationships will continue. Such assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions and estimates.

In addition, acquired deferred revenue is recognized at fair value to the extent it represents a legal obligation assumed by us in accordance with EITF 01-03, “Accounting in a Business Combination for Deferred Revenue of an Acquiree.” We consider service contracts and post-contract customer support contracts to be legal obligations of the acquired entity. We estimate the fair value of acquired deferred revenue based on prices paid by willing participants in recent exchange transactions. Management judgment is also required in determining an appropriate fair value for deferred revenue. If the fair values we determined for deferred revenue acquired in prior years were lower, our revenue for the year would have been lower.

Capitalization of Software Costs

We capitalize computer software product development costs incurred in developing a product once technological feasibility has been established and until the product is available for general release to customers in accordance with SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” We evaluate realizability of the capitalized amounts based on expected revenue from the product over the remaining product life. Where future revenue streams are not expected to cover remaining unamortized amounts, we either accelerate amortization or expense the remaining capitalized amounts. Amortization of such costs is computed as the greater of the amount calculated based on (1) the ratio of current product revenue to projected current and future product revenue or (2) the straight-line basis over the expected economic life of the product (not to exceed five years). Software costs related to the development of new products incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility or after general release are expensed as incurred. When technological feasibility of the underlying software is not established until substantially all product development is completed, including the development of a working model, we expense the costs of such development because the impact of capitalizing such costs would not be material.

Management judgment is required with respect to the determination of technological feasibility and the determination of the expected product revenue used to assess realizability of the capitalized amounts. If we were to determine that technological feasibility occurs at a different stage of the process, we may capitalize more or less software development costs. If our assumptions about realizability were to change, our reported operating expenses could increase in the short-term by any amounts we write off. As of December 31, 2006 and 2007, capitalized software development costs were $20.9 million and $28.9 million, respectively, and related accumulated amortization totaled $4.5 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

107

Investments

Debt and equity investments designated as available-for-sale are stated at fair value. Unrealized holding gains or losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale securities are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses and any declines in fair value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in gain (loss) on disposal and impairment, respectively, in our consolidated statements of operations. Gains or losses on the sale of investments and amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the statement of operations are computed based upon specific identification. Interest on securities classified as available-for-sale securities is included in interest income.

Debt investments, where we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity, are designated as held to maturity securities and are stated at amortized cost.

When determining whether an impairment of investments exists or a decline in value of an available-for-sale security is other-than-temporary, we evaluate evidence to determine whether the realizable value is less than the current market price for the securities. Such information may include the investment’s financial performance, the near term prospects of the investment, the current and expected future financial condition of the investment’s issuer and industry, and our investment intent. Management judgment is required in determining fair value of investments, and in determining whether an impairment is other-than-temporary. The use of different estimates and assumptions could affect the determination of fair value for each investment, and could result in an impairment charge. For investments not actively traded, we review a variety of information including financial performance, comparisons to recently traded comparable securities, advice of investment professionals, and financial modeling to determine the fair market value as well as determine in the case of declines in value if the decline is an other than temporary decline in fair value.

All other equity investments for which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence (generally, when we have an investment of less than 20% ownership and no representation on the company’s board of directors) and for which there is not a readily determinable fair value, are accounted for using the cost method. Dividends and other distributions of earnings from equity investees or investments, if any, are included in income when declared. We periodically evaluate the carrying value of our investments accounted for under the cost method of accounting and any other than temporary impairment is included in the consolidated statement of operations. We wrote off $4.5 million of cost investments in 2007.

Derivative Instruments

SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”), as modified by SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of SFAS 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 149”), requires all contracts which meet the definition of a derivative to be recognized in our consolidated financial statements as either assets or liabilities and recorded at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are either recognized periodically in the consolidated statement of operations or in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. Changes in fair values of derivatives not qualified as hedges are reported in the consolidated statement of operations. The estimated fair values of derivative instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on the relevant market information. These estimates are calculated with reference to the market rates using the industry standard valuation techniques.

108

Deferred Tax Valuation Allowance

We record a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in an amount that is sufficient to reduce the deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In reaching this determination, we consider the future reversals of taxable temporary differences, future taxable income, exclusive of taxable temporary differences and carryforwards, taxable income in prior carryback years and tax planning strategies. As of December 31, 2006 and 2007, we have provided a valuation allowance of $59.0 million and $62.7 million against our net deferred tax assets. For our calendar year ended December 31, 2007, the valuation allowance increased by $3.7 million, which is the result of the tax effects of our operations as well as our determination of the amount that will be realized. A maximum of $41.7 million of the valuation allowance for which tax benefits are subsequently recognized will be allocated to reduce the goodwill. The portion of the change in the valuation allowance resulting in a decrease in goodwill principally relates to our recovery of deferred tax assets acquired in business combinations for which a valuation allowance was recorded at the time of acquisition.

Stock-based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for share-based employee compensation arrangements under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related Interpretations, and complied with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Under APB 25, share compensation expense was recognized by utilizing the accelerated expense attribution method over the vesting period of the share options based on the difference, if any, between the fair value of the underlying shares at the date of grant and the exercise price of the share options.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), cash flows resulting from the tax benefit related to equity-based compensation was required to be presented in the operating cash flows, along with other tax cash flows, in accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-15, “Classification in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Income Tax Benefit Received by a Company upon Exercise of a Nonqualified Employee Stock Option”, (“EITF 00-15”). SFAS 123(R) superseded EITF 00-15, amended SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows”, and requires tax benefits relating to excess equity-based compensation deductions to be prospectively presented in the statement of cash flows as financing cash inflows.

We adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method. SFAS 123(R) requires measurement of compensation cost for all share based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The recognized expense is net of expected forfeitures and the restatement of prior periods is not required.

The fair value of restricted shares is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted market price of our common shares. SFAS 123(R) did not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees as originally issued by EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” (“EITF 96-18”). The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with the our valuation techniques previously utilized for options in footnote disclosures under Statement of SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”). On March 29, 2005, the Securities

109

and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) published Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”), which provides the Staff’s views on a variety of matters related to share based payments. SAB 107 requires that share based compensation be classified in the same expense line items as cash compensation.

Equity-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 was $7.7 million and $8.5 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of the Company’s equity-based awards, less expected forfeitures, is amortized over the awards’ vesting period on a straight-line basis.

Contingencies

We regularly assess the estimated impact and probability of various uncertain events, or contingencies, and account for such events in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” (“SFAS 5”). Under SFAS 5, contingent losses must be accrued if available information indicates it is probable that the loss has been or will be incurred given the likelihood of the uncertain event, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Management judgment is required in deciding the amount and timing of accrual of a contingency. For example, legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, and in order to determine the amount of any reserves required, we assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes in pending and threatened litigation, as well as potential ranges of probable losses. As of December 31, 2007, we had $4.7 million accrued for legal fees and contingencies. A determination of the amount of loss accrual required for these contingencies is made after analysis of each individual matter. The amount of such accruals may change in the future due to changes in approach or new developments in each case.

Impact of Certain Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS 155”). SFAS 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives that otherwise would require bifurcation from the host to be accounted for as a whole, if the holder irrevocably elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the instrument would be recognized in earnings. The standard also clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirement of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”); establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities – a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125” (“SFAS 140”) to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued by us after January 1, 2007. SFAS 155 did not have an effect on our financial position or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and establishes a hierarchy that categorizes and prioritizes the sources to be used to estimate fair

110

value. We are required to adopt SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008, on a prospective basis. In February, 2008, the FASB issued Financial Statement of Position No. 157-2, “Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement 157” (“FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157, for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We believe this standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires the recognition of a plan’s overfunded or underfunded status as an asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheet and the recognition of changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. We settled our defined benefit plan obligations during 2006; therefore, SFAS 158 did not have an effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 or 2007.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We believe this standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), and SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. This standard also requires the fair value measurement of certain other assets and liabilities related to the acquisition, such as contingencies and research and development. SFAS 160 clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Consolidated net income should include the net income for both the parent and the non-controlling interest with disclosure of both amounts on the consolidated statement of income. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. The effective date for both Statements is the beginning of fiscal year 2009. We have currently not determined the potential effects on our combined and consolidated financial statements.

In April 2007, the FASB issued FSP FIN No. 39-1, which amended FIN No. 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts — an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 10 and FASB Statement No. 105 (“FIN No. 39”), to indicate that the following fair value amounts could be offset against each other if certain conditions of FIN No. 39 are otherwise met: (a) those recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement and (b) those recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable) arising from the same master netting arrangement as the derivative instruments. In addition, a reporting entity is not precluded from offsetting the derivative instruments if it determines that the amount recognized upon payment or receipt of cash collateral is not a fair value amount. FSP FIN No. 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the effects of this statement on our consolidated financial position and results of operations for 2008.

111

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). This statement applies to the accounting for non-controlling interests (previously referred to as minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 requires non-controlling interests to be reported as a component of equity, which changes the accounting for transactions with non-controlling interest holders. The effective date for SFAS 160 is the beginning of fiscal year 2009. We have currently not determined the potential effects on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This statement is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determining the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors to be considered in determining the useful life of intangible assets. Its intent is to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure its fair value. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the effect the implementation will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Total Software revenue	$	174,337	$	238,260	$	63,923	37	%

• License revenue increased primarily due to the acquisitions of Respond, Catalyst and Saratoga, which collectively contributed $9.5 million of the aggregate increase in revenue. Also, growth in new license sales of our legacy products increased revenue by $6.3 million. New software sales were strong in global vertical industries, including financial services and discrete and process manufacturing.

• Maintenance revenue increased primarily due to the acquisitions of Respond, Catalyst and Saratoga, which collectively contributed $15.4 million of the aggregate increase in revenue. The remaining $7.9 million increase was due to higher license sales and stronger customer retention, which accounted for $5.0 million, and $2.9 million from MVI and c360, which were acquired in 2006, now providing a full year of revenue.

• Consulting services revenue increased due to installation and professional services associated with a larger customer base, which contributed $15.7 million in additional revenue, and acquisitions in our Software Group, which contributed $6.3 million.

• During 2007, we began selling hardware, primarily through the Catalyst acquisition, which generated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007.

• During 2007, we began selling licenses, which generated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007. This license revenue related to third-party software products which are sold in conjunction with our consulting services.

• Consulting services revenue increased primarily due to the acquisitions of Catalyst, Vectra, Snapdragon and Vis.align, which collectively contributed approximately $22.6 million of the aggregate increase in revenue. The remaining increase was the result of growth in services provided to new and existing customers primarily from the companies we purchased in 2006.

• CDC Games revenue increased primarily due to the acquisition of Guangzhou Optic Communications Co., Ltd (“Optic”), which contributed approximately $6.0 million of the aggregate increase in revenue. The remaining increase was the result of growth in services provided to new and existing customers. Additionally, an ongoing dispute with Mgame, the developer of Yulgang, caused reduced player activity in the second half of 2007, having a negative impact on our revenue. We resolved the issue with Mgame in the first quarter of 2008, and we expect to have increased revenue for Yulgang in 2008.

• MVAS revenue decreased primarily due to the continued effect of changes in the regulatory environment for the MVAS industry in China in 2006, and we believe that market conditions will continue to be challenging for the entire MVAS sector in the future. Since the onset of the regulatory changes, we have significantly reduced headcount and the marketing promotion expenses incurred for the MVAS business. In 2007, we explored various strategies to achieve long term growth. These strategies included: (i) continue to move further upstream into the content provider segment of the business; (ii) continue to launch popular mobile games; and (iii) develop mobile applications for enterprises and government offices in China.

Software gross margin	$	100,548	58	%	$	139,434	59	%	$	38,886	39	%

• Overall, gross margin as a percentage of revenue (“gross margin percentage”) for the Software Group was relatively consistent year over year.

• The increase in consulting services gross margin percentage was primarily due to better utilization rates in North America and better than average gross margin percentage at the acquired companies during 2007. Furthermore, the consulting services gross margin percentage in the fourth quarter of 2006 was negatively impacted by a reversal of $0.5 million in revenues related to a customer dispute for services rendered in 2006.

• During 2007, we began selling hardware, primarily through the Catalyst acquisition, which generated gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Global Services gross margin	$	20,541	31	%	$	26,642	24	%	$	6,101	30	%

• The decrease in consulting services gross margin percentage was primarily due to the change in our Global Services business mix due to 2007 acquisitions and divestitures. We acquired Catalyst, which has a relatively low consulting services margin, and we divested Ion Global which had a relatively high consulting services margin due to the nature of its business. Further, additional weakness in the margin was due to the loss of a large customer for our Australia services group. This customer reduction weakened our gross margin due to lower service utilization.

CDC Games gross margin	$	16,149	60	%	$	13,488	40	%	$	(2,661	)	-16	%

• CDC Games gross margin decreased primarily due to the acquisition of Optic, which has lower gross margins than our other gaming services. The lower gross margin is primarily related to the license fee amortization expense resulting from the Optic acquisition. In addition, many of the games acquired in the Optic acquisition are in the start-up phase, which have lower revenue in the early stages of the game life cycle.

• MVAS gross margin percentage decreased due to the challenging regulatory environment which resulted from the policy changes implemented by China’s Ministry of Information Industry in 2006 that led to reduced revenue and lower gross margin.

Operating Income

Software Group

• Operating income for the Software Group for the year ended December 31, 2007, was $15.7 million or 7% of revenue, as compared to $6.4 million or 4% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was directly related to the growth of revenue and corresponding increase in gross profit. Regarding the increase in operating income as a percentage of revenue, this improvement resulted from the continued realization of efficiencies in research and development (“R&D”) expenses and from decreased restructuring charges.

• The R&D efficiencies primarily resulted from the continuation of the integration of R&D activities at Ross and Pivotal, which were initiated in 2006.

• As we expand into new and existing markets and introduce new products and services, we expect that our operating expenses within the Software Group, particularly research and development expenses and sales and marketing expenses, will continue to increase. However, as we continue to integrate processes from acquired entities, we expect that revenue will increase at a higher rate relative to the increases in operating expenses.

Global Services Group

• Operating income for the Global Services Group for the year ended December 31, 2007, was $5.8 million or 5% of revenue, as compared to $3.4 million or 5% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were consistent year over year.

• As we expand into new and existing markets and introduce new products and services, we expect that our operating expenses within the Global Services Group, particularly sales and marketing expenses, will continue to increase. However, as we continue to integrate processes from acquired entities, we expect that revenue will increase at a higher rate relative to the increases in operating expenses.

• Regarding restructuring and other charges, this amount is comprised of a $6.7 million gain on the sale of Ion Global, offset by various other charges.

In August 2007, we entered into four separate agreements to sell the principal assets and subsidiaries that comprised our Ion Global business for $9.0 million. Subsequent to the date of sale, we received an additional $0.7 million due to a net asset adjustment. In total, these transactions resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $ 6.7 million. Under the terms of these agreements, we agreed to sell: (i) the assets related to the internet consulting services and website design and development of Ion Global (California), Inc.; (ii) substantially all of the assets of Ion Global Limited; (iii) all of the issued and outstanding shares of Ion Global Korea Ltd. held by Ion Global (BVI) Ltd.; and (iv) the “Ion Global” trademark. Ion Global was included within our Global Services segment, and the goodwill associated with this transaction was allocated on a historical basis as Ion Global was not integrated into the Company.

We have concluded that the financial position, results of operations and cash flows from Ion Global are immaterial to our overall results and, therefore, have not been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007.

119

CDC Games Group

• Operating loss for the CDC Games Group for the year ended December 31, 2007, was $14.6 million or 43% of revenue, as compared to operating income of $9.5 million or 36% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006. This operating loss was primarily attributable to restructuring charges, a decrease in gross profit, which is discussed above, and to higher general and administrative expenses resulting from increased personnel and systems to handle larger and more complex operations from the acquisition of Optic.

• In the first quarter of 2008, we reduced the CDC Games staff by 150 people by realizing synergies from our acquisition of Optic.

• Regarding restructuring and other charges, our business model in the CDC Games segment is to make investments in a diverse set of online computer game licensors. During 2006 and 2007, we entered into several license arrangements with game developers for the right to produce the online computer games in specific countries and/or geographical regions. Not all of these games may be successfully launched due to various factors including: (i) development problems; (ii) poor beta test results; (iii) other games have better potential to become successful; and (iv) limited capital resources. During 2007, we performed an assessment of the recoverability of our license fee assets and determined that we would not generate future cash flows from several licenses. As a result, we impaired $4.2 million of these license fees. In addition, we also made several cost investments in online computer game development companies. During 2007 and early 2008, several of these game developers lost access to the credit markets, thus raising questions as to their ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, we recorded a charge of $4.3 million to write off our investment in these companies.

China.com Group

• Operating loss for the China.com Group for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $5.7 million or 50% of revenue, as compared to an operating loss of $8.1 million or 81% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006. This decrease in operating loss as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to a higher gross margin, which is discussed above, and to lower general and administrative expenses relative to revenue, resulting from workforce reductions and operating efficiencies realized in 2007.

MVAS Group

• Operating loss for the MVAS Group for the year ended December 31, 2007, was $79.1 million or 948% of revenue, as compared to operating income of $1.4 million or 4% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2006. This operating loss was primarily attributable to impairment of goodwill and restructuring charges resulting from our decision to scale down our emphasis on mobile services and applications, in light of the continued difficulties in China’s regulatory environment for the MVAS industry.

120

• Regarding restructuring and other charges, in accordance with our policy on testing long-lived assets for impairment, we had a triggering event that required testing the intangible assets of the MVAS business for impairment. We performed our impairment test and determined that the intangible assets were impaired, because we did not have sufficient discounted cash flows to support the remaining intangible assets due to our decision to exit this business in 2008. Therefore, we wrote off all the remaining intangible assets that related to this segment, which equaled $2.4 million.

• Regarding goodwill impairment, as the regulatory environment for the MVAS industry continues to be difficult and we see no reasonable instance where our MVAS business may turn profitable in the foreseeable future, in February 2008, we announced that we were in the process of reducing our MVAS workforce and intended to scale down our emphasis on this business. Later in 2008, we made the determination that we were winding down the operations of the MVAS business and would discontinue this segment. At December 31, 2007, we performed our annual impairment test and determined that all of the goodwill associated with the MVAS segment was impaired, because the discounted cash flows from this segment were negative. We wrote off all of the goodwill that was assigned to this segment, which equaled $71.1 million.

Corporate

• Regarding restructuring and other charges, we have made cost investments in several companies during our history. In 2007, one of these companies filed bankruptcy, and we were not able to recover our $2.4 million investment. We also wrote off other assets of $0.1 million.

• Interest income increased due to having higher interest-bearing cash balances throughout 2007 compared to 2006. Note that $168 million of cash at December 31, 2006, came from convertible note proceeds in November 2006.

• Interest expense increased due to having the convertible notes for all of 2007.

121

• Impairment of available-for-sale securities for the year ended December 31, 2007, represented other-than-temporary impairment losses recorded on our collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) investments. We evaluated the length of time and extent to which the fair market value of these securities had been less than their cost, as well as the financial condition and performance of the issuer and the our intention and ability to hold these securities to recovery or maturity. Management based the fair value on binding quotes received from third parties for these investments. These valuations represent our best estimate of fair value of these investments at December 31, 2007, and may or may not represent the ultimate value of these investments.

• The loss on change in fair value of derivatives for the year ended December 31, 2007, is related to the compound embedded derivative within the convertible notes issued in November 2006 (see footnote 11 where explained in detail). We expect the value of this derivative to continue to increase and be an expense over the next year.

Income Taxes

• We recorded income tax expense of $10.9 million in 2007 as compared to tax expense of $3.1 million in 2006. Our total income tax provision is determined entity by entity in each taxing jurisdiction in which it operates. We recorded tax expense in 2007 even though we had recorded a significant loss from continuing operations. This is a result of having certain of the significant impairment losses including the MVAS impairment charge are not deductible for taxes. In addition, we generated taxable income in jurisdictions that have a high statutory tax rate. Lastly, we increased our valuation allowance by $3.7 million in 2007 because management concluded that they did not believe that the recoverability of certain of our deferred tax assets is more likely than not. As of December 31, 2007, we had a valuation allowance of approximately $62.7 million relating primarily to net operating losses.

Minority Interest in Income of Consolidated Subsidiaries

• Minority interest income was $18.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, and related to the minority interest portion of the combined losses of our majority-owned subsidiaries China.com, Software Galeria, Inc. (“SGI”) and Vectra. It also included ten months of activity related to Industri-Matematik International Corp. (“IMI”), which represents the time period prior to our acquisition of the remaining 49% of IMI.

• License revenue increased primarily due to growth in new license sales of our legacy products of $4.7 million and due to the acquisitions of MVI, c360 and JRG, which collectively contributed $3.0 million of the aggregate increase in revenue. New software sales were strong in global vertical industries, including financial services, discrete and process manufacturing, and homebuilding.

• Maintenance revenue increased primarily due to growth in first-year maintenance contract sales.

• Consulting services revenue increased due to installation and professional services associated with a larger customer base, and due to acquisitions in our Software Group.

• Overall, the gross margin percentage for the Software Group was consistent year over year.

• The increase in License gross margin percentage was due to a decrease in amortization expense associated with purchased technologies from acquired entities.

• Maintenance gross margin percentage was generally consistent year over year.

• The decrease in Consulting Services gross margin percentage was due to higher personnel costs.

Operating Income

Software Group

• Operating income for the Software Group for the year ended December 31, 2006, was $6.4 million or 4% of revenue, as compared to an operating loss of $1.6 million or 1% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the realization of efficiencies in R&D expenses and general and administrative expenses as a result of the consolidation of processes from acquired entities. In particular, the decrease in R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to the integration of R&D activities at Ross and Pivotal in 2006.

Global Services Group

• Operating income for the Global Services Group for the year ended December 31, 2006, was $3.4 million or 5% of revenue, as compared to $4.0 million or 9% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005. This decrease as a percentage of revenue was directly attributable to the decrease in gross margin percentage, which is discussed above. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were consistent year over year.

CDC Games Group

• Operating income for the CDC Games Group for the year ended December 31, 2006, was $9.5 million or 36% of revenue. The CDC Games Group had no operations in 2005.

China.com Group

• Operating loss for the China.com Group for the year ended December 31, 2006, was $8.1 million or 81% of revenue, as compared to an operating loss of $3.4 million or 37% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase in operating loss as a percentage of revenue was due to a lower gross margin, which is discussed above, and to higher general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue.

127

MVAS Group

• Operating income for the MVAS Group for the year ended December 31, 2006, was $1.4 million or 4% of revenue, as compared to $4.6 million or 13% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2005. This decrease was due primarily to higher sales and marketing expenditures, offset somewhat by a cost savings realized in our general and administrative expenses.

Other Income (Expense), Net Components

	Years ended December 31,
	2005			2006
	(in thousands)
Interest income	$	8,156		$	10,680
Interest expense		(1,257	)		(3,038	)
Gain on disposal of available-for-sale securities		525			344
Gain on disposal of subsidiaries and cost investments		483			3,087
Gain on change in fair value of derivatives		—			531
Share of gains (losses) in equity investees		(1,172	)		975
Total other income, net	$	6,735		$	12,579

• Interest income increased due to higher interest-bearing cash balances and higher interest rates throughout 2006 compared to 2005.

• Interest expense increased due to higher interest rates, as well as the issuance of convertible notes in November 2006.

• The gain on disposal of subsidiaries and cost investments for the year ended December 31, 2006, was associated with the deemed disposal of China.com shares in regards to the acquisition of the remaining interest in the 17games Group, whereby the value of the disposed shares of China.com were greater than acquired liabilities by an equivalent amount of the recorded gain.

• The share of gains (losses) in equity investees for each year ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, relates to investments in which we had the ability to exercise significant influence, generally 20% to 50% owned investments.

Income Taxes

• We recorded income tax expense of $3.1 million in 2006 as compared to $5.0 million in 2005. The Company’s total income tax provision is determined entity by entity in each taxing jurisdiction in which it operates. A portion of the fluctuations in income tax expense was a result of the changes in income at the entity level. In addition, in 2006, we recorded tax benefits of $2.8 million related to a change in valuation allowance and $0.8 million related to income tax credits.

We must assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. In making this assessment, all available evidence must be considered, including the current economic climate, our expectations of future taxable income, and our ability to project such income and the appreciation of our

128

investments and other assets. As of December 31, 2006, management concluded that it was more likely than not to realize a substantial portion of the existing deferred tax asset and, therefore, released valuation allowance of approximately $18.1 million. As of December 31, 2006, we continued to have a valuation allowance of approximately $59.0 million relating primarily to net operating losses.

Minority Interest in Income of Consolidated Subsidiaries

• Minority interest expense was $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, and related to the minority interest portion of the combined income of our majority-owned subsidiaries China.com, SGI and IMI. Minority interest expense was $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, and also related to the minority interest portion of the combined income of China.com, SGI and IMI.

Sources and Uses of Cash for the Year ended December 31, 2007

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $39.3 million in 2006 to $9.3 million in 2007. This $30.0 million decrease partially resulted from a decrease in net income adjusted for noncash charges and gains of $12.4 million, from $45.4 million in 2006 to $33.0 million in 2007. In addition, working capital requirements increased $17.6 million as a result of increases in accounts receivable, deposits, prepayments and other receivables and other assets and decreases in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and income tax payable, offset by increases in deferred revenue and other liabilities. Accounts receivable, deposits, prepayments and other receivables and other assets were a use of cash of $15.3 million in 2006 compared to a use of cash of $22.4 million in 2007. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and income tax payable were a source of cash of $5.9 million in 2006 compared to a use of cash of $7.8 million in 2007. Deferred revenue and other liabilities were a source of cash of $3.4 million in 2006 compared to a source of cash of $6.6 million in 2007.

129

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased from $51.0 million in 2006 to $99.0 million in 2007. This reflects an increase in cash used in the acquisition of subsidiaries of $56.0 million, an increase in capital expenditures of $8.1 million, an increase in cost and equity investments of $16.0 million, an increase in game licenses of $9.7 million, and an increase in restricted cash of $7.0 million, offset by a decrease in purchases of marketable securities of $36.0 million, an increase in proceeds from the disposal of marketable securities and investments of $1.4 million, and an increase in proceeds from the disposal of subsidiaries and fixed assets of $8.3 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased from $137.7 million in 2006 to $4.7 million in 2007. This decrease was primarily the result of proceeds from the issuance of $168.0 million in convertible notes and purchase note agreements of $38.7 million in 2006, compared to proceeds from bank loans of $33.8 million in 2007. This decrease in proceeds from debt was offset by a decrease in cash used for the repayment of bank loans of $27.3 million, an increase in the issuance of share capital of $3.6 million, a decrease in cash used for the repurchase of treasury stock of $5.5 million, and a decrease in cash used for debt issuance costs of $3.5 million.

Future cash requirements and sources of liquidity

Future cash requirements

In the future, we expect that our primary cash requirements will be to fund working capital including payment of contractual obligations and research and development expenses, repay debts, and fund contingent consideration payable for certain of our acquisitions.

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2007:

	Payments due by period, in thousands
	Total		Less than 1 year		1–3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
Operating lease obligations (1)	$	45,965	$	14,253	$	19,439	$	11,422	$	851
Short-term debt obligations		33,892		33,892		—		—		—
Interest on short-term debt obligations		581		581		—		—		—
Convertible notes		168,000		—		—		168,000		—
Interest on convertible notes		24,360		6,300		12,600		5,460		—
Purchase considerations (2)		4,192		4,192		—		—		—

(1) Operating lease obligations consist of future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases.

(2) Purchase considerations include fixed and adjustable payments contingent upon meeting certain performance requirements. These amounts exclude future payments of up to $24.2 million, which are based on total future revenue.

Other long-term liabilities, such as deferred taxes and unrecognized tax benefits, have been excluded from the table due to the uncertainty of the timing of payments combined with the absence of historical trends to be used as a predictor for such payments.

130

On June 27, 2008, China.com declared and paid a cash dividend to its shareholders in the aggregate amount of $74.1 million. Of such amount, approximately $57.5 million was paid to us, and the remaining $16.6 million was paid to the independent minority shareholders of China.com. On June 27, 2008, we transferred an aggregate of $64.5 million to CDC Games. CDC Games subsequently paid China.com Capital Ltd. (“CCL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of China.com Inc., the entire balance of $64.5 million of principal and interest due and payable under its promissory note owed to CCL.

Future sources of liquidity

We believe that cash flows from operating activities, combined with our existing cash and cash equivalents of $142.2 million and our available-for-sale securities of $76.2 million as of December 31, 2007, the majority of which will mature at various dates through 2008, will be sufficient to meet our future cash requirements described above.

The following table summarizes the expected maturity dates of our debt securities as of December 31, 2007:

	Expected maturities, in thousands
	Total		Less than 1 year		1–3 years
Unsecured fixed rate debt	$	74,595	$	74,595	$	—

Our ability to meet our expected cash requirements will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future, which is subject to financial, competitive, economic, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. If we do not generate sufficient cash from operations or do not otherwise have sufficient cash and cash equivalents, we may need to borrow against our lines of credit or issue other long- or short-term debt or equity, if the market and the terms of our existing debt instruments permit.

Convertible Notes

In November 2006, we issued $168 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% senior exchangeable, unsecured convertible notes due 2011 to a total of 12 institutional accredited investors in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act. Under the terms of the notes, the holders have the right to exchange such notes into common shares of CDC Corporation or, upon a qualifying initial public offering (“IPO”), common shares of two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries based on a predetermined exchange price when the IPO is consummated (see “Note 11 - Financing Arrangements” in “Item 18 - Financial Statements” for further discussion on our Convertible Notes).

In April 2008, two of our subsidiaries, CDC Games and CCL, entered into an agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) for the purpose of: (i) extending the maturity date of a promissory note in the principal amount of $60.0 million by and between CDC Games and CCL (the “Promissory Note”) from the initial maturity date of June 28, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”), to June 28, 2010, and (ii) including us as a guarantor of the Promissory Note.

The effectiveness of the Modification Agreement was conditioned upon China.com obtaining the approval of its minority shareholders (the “Minority Shareholders”). At an extraordinary general meeting (“EGM”) of China.com held on May 27, 2008, the Minority Shareholders, by way of poll, rejected the proposal to ratify the Modification Agreement. As a result, the Modification Agreement lapsed automatically and did not become effective.

131

In June 2008, we determined that the execution of the Modification Agreement had constituted an “Event of Default” under the terms of our convertible notes. The convertible notes provide that, following an Event of Default, payment of all or a portion of any amounts due thereunder may be accelerated and become due and payable immediately upon delivery of a written notice of acceleration to us (an “Acceleration Notice”), unless such Event of Default shall have been cured by us prior to the delivery of such Acceleration Notice. Accordingly, for the period from April 2, 2008, through May 27, 2008 (the date upon which the Minority Shareholders disapproved of the Modification Agreement and it lapsed automatically), any or all of the convertible notes could have been called by the noteholders and become due and payable immediately. However, we did not receive any written Acceleration Notice from any of the noteholders during this period. As a consequence, we believe that the Event of Default that existed from April 2, 2008, through May 27, 2008, under the convertible notes has been fully cured, and under the express terms of the convertible notes, none of the noteholders has any current or continuing right to deliver an Acceleration Notice to us as a result of those past events.

Credit Line Agreements

Under our line of credit arrangement with a financial institution, we may borrow up to $100.0 million on such terms as we and the financial institution mutually agree upon. Interest is payable at the end of each interest period and is calculated using the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for the applicable interest rate period plus 0.2% per annum (4.42% at December 31, 2007). Except for loans of $10.0 million that were repaid in 2006, this arrangement does not have a termination date but is reviewed annually for renewal. At December 31, 2006 and 2007, we had Nil and $30.0 million outstanding, respectively, and the unused portion of the credit line was $100.0 million and $70.0 million, respectively.

We utilized a margin facility to draw a revolving line of credit, with balances outstanding of Nil and $1.9 million at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Interest is payable based

132

upon LIBOR for the applicable interest rate period plus 0.75% per annum (4.97% at December 31, 2007). To secure the line of credit, we pledged some of our available-for-sale securities, which are recorded as restricted available-for-sale securities on our balance sheet.

One of our subsidiaries had a line of credit with a financial institution in which the subsidiary may borrow up to $6.5 million. The loan had an outstanding balance of Nil and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively and the unused portion of the credit line was $6.5 million and $5.6 million at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Accrued unpaid interest is payable monthly based upon LIBOR for the applicable interest rate period plus 2.20% per annum (6.42% at December 31, 2007). The loan is secured by the assets of this subsidiary.

Under the line of credit arrangement between a financial institution and one of our subsidiaries, the financial institution allows the subsidiary to borrow up to 80% of the subsidiary’s accounts receivable balance. There was an outstanding balance of Nil and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Interest is variable and was 11.2% at December 31, 2007.

During 2006, we discontinued a $250.0 million line of credit agreement with a financial institution. This line of credit consisted of a repurchase agreement pursuant to which we sold certain debt securities to the financial institution at a discounted price, and the financial institution agreed to sell the same debt securities back to us at the same price at the termination of the agreement. Throughout the term of the agreement, the financial institution paid us any income associated with the debt securities, and we paid the financial institution interest calculated using the LIBOR plus 0.2% per annum. Loans of $16.2 million were repaid in 2006 prior to the line of credit being discontinued.

In connection with the credit lines granted to us and in compliance with related covenants, we maintained compensating balances of $2.0 million and $5.5 million, in restricted cash at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, pledged available-for-sale debt securities with a net book value of Nil and $30.9 million at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and held-to-maturity debt securities with a net book value of $30.5 million and Nil at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

The maturities of long-term debt for the five years subsequent to December 31, 2007, are as follows: 2008 - Nil; 2009 - Nil; 2010 - Nil; 2011 - $168.0 million; and 2012 - Nil.

The weighted average interest rates on short-term borrowings during the year were 3.6% in 2005, 4.6% in 2006 and 5.5% in 2007. The weighted average interest rates on short-term borrowings at December 31, 2006 and 2007, were 4.5% and 5.1% per annum, respectively.

Financing Agreements

In 2006, in connection with the purchase of certain CDO investments, we and our majority owned subsidiary, China.com Inc. entered into separate and independent financing agreements with two financial institutions, collectively referred to as the “Banks”, in the aggregate amount of $38.7 million. We entered into a credit facility agreement with the Bank pursuant to which the Bank agreed to lend us the aggregate amount of $38.7 million for payment of the purchase price of the CDO’s. We pledged certain held-to-maturity U.S. agency bonds as collateral for payments due under the financing agreements. These pledged securities all had maturity dates within 12 months and interest rates ranging from 2.58% to 3.2%. As these securities matured, a portion of the loan was settled with the cash proceeds. At December 31, 2006, the aggregate balance of the financing agreements was $18.7 million, and the total amount of securities pledged at December 31, 2006, was $30.5 million, all of which is classified as a restricted investment. The weighted average interest rate on these agreements during 2006 and at December 31, 2006, was 5.6%. During 2007, the balance of $18.7 million was paid and no pledged securities remained at December 31, 2007. The weighted average interest rate on these agreements during 2007 was 5.6%.

As of December 31, 2007, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

Restrictions on our Liquidity

While we have cash and cash equivalents of $142.2 million and total available-for-sale securities of $76.2 million as of December 31, 2007, $92.9 million of the cash and cash equivalents and $63.1 million of the total securities are held at China.com, a 77% owned subsidiary listed on the Growth Enterprise Market of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Although we have the ability to appoint a majority of the board of directors of China.com, the board of directors of China.com owes fiduciary duties to the shareholders of China.com to act in the best

133

interests of and use the assets of China.com, including the cash and cash equivalents balance and securities, for the benefit of such shareholders. As a result, aside from the board of directors of China.com declaring a dividend to its shareholders for which we would receive a pro rata portion as an 77% shareholder of China.com or a related party inter-company loan or similar transaction from China.com to us which would likely require the approval of the minority shareholders of China.com, we have limited ability to transfer or move the cash, cash equivalents and securities balance to, or to use the amounts of the cash, cash equivalents and securities balance for the benefit of, CDC Corporation at the parent entity level or our other subsidiaries outside of the China.com chain of subsidiaries.

Substantially all of the revenue and operating expenses of our CDC Games and China.com businesses are denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”). The RMB is currently convertible to foreign exchange with respect to “current account” transactions, but not with respect to “capital account” transactions. Current account transactions include ordinary course import/export transactions, payments for services rendered and payments of license fees, royalties, interest on loans and dividends. Capital account transactions include cross-border investments and repayments of principal of loans. Currently, our PRC subsidiaries may purchase foreign exchange for settlement of “current account transactions,” including payment of dividends to us and payment of license fees to content licensors, without the approval of the State Administration for Foreign Exchange, or SAFE. Our PRC subsidiaries may also retain foreign exchange in their current accounts, subject to a ceiling approved by SAFE, to satisfy foreign exchange liabilities or to pay dividends. However, the relevant PRC governmental authorities may limit or eliminate the ability for our PRC subsidiaries to purchase and retain foreign currencies in the future. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account remain subject to limitations and require approvals from or registration with SAFE. This could affect our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to obtain debt or equity financing from outside the PRC, including by means of loans or capital contributions from us.

In addition to $142.2 million of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2007, we held $9.1 million in restricted cash which is pledged for banking facilities and pending litigation settlements.

Uncertainties regarding our liquidity

We believe the following are the most significant uncertainties regarding our liquidity:

• Ability to Grow Revenue and Manage Costs – Both our revenue and cost base have increased significantly as a result of our acquisition activity in 2006 and 2007. If we are unable to continue to grow our revenue or experience a decline in revenue, or if we are unable to manage costs and reduce operating expenses, our ability to generate positive cash flows from operating activities in a sufficient amount to meet our cash needs would be adversely affected.

• Integrating the Operations of Acquired Businesses – Integration of our acquired businesses could affect our liquidity as continuing integration of the businesses and operations into ours may require significant cash resources.

• Future Acquisitions – Our existing cash and cash equivalents and net cash provided by operating activities may be insufficient if we face unanticipated cash needs such as the funding of a future acquisition. In addition, if we acquire a business in the future that has existing debt, our cash requirements for servicing debt may increase.

• Cash held by China.com – China.com is a 77% owned subsidiary of the Company. Although we have the ability to elect a majority of the board of directors of China.com, the China .com directors owe fiduciary duties to all of the China.com shareholders. Such duties may prevent the directors from voting to declare and pay dividends. There is a limited amount of cash available at China.com for such purpose, and any dividends that the directors may declare must be shared on a pro rata basis with China.com’s minority shareholders. Furthermore, we may not have the ability to enter into an intercompany loan without the support of the minority shareholders of China.com.

134

Fair value of Financial Instruments

The total fair value of available-for-sale equity securities in listed companies as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, were $3.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively, based on the market values of publicly traded shares as of December 31, 2006 and 2007.

The total fair value of the CDO investments as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, were $39.1 million and $23.7 million, respectively, based on the determination by the respective brokers and validated by management based on expected cash flow returns discounted by rates consistent with rates of return offered on comparable investments with comparable risks as of December 31, 2006 and 2007.

We currently intend to hold the CDO investments as long term investments, not to be traded in the near term. As the aforementioned investments are not publicly traded and have no active market, fair value as of December 31, 2006 and 2007 was determined by the respective brokers and validated by management based on expected cash flow returns discounted by rates consistent with rate of returns offered on comparable investments with comparable risks. In addition, management based the fair value on binding quotes received from third parties for these investments. These valuations represent management’s best estimate of fair value of these investments at December 31, 2006 and 2007 and may or may not represent the ultimate value of these investments.

In connection with the purchase of the CDOs, we pledged certain held-to-maturity U.S. agency bonds as collateral under multiple note purchase agreements. The pledged U.S. agency bonds are being used to repay the debt when such U.S. agency bonds mature. The total amount of securities pledged at December 31, 2006 and 2007 was $30.5 million and Nil, all of which is classified as a restricted investment.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, deposits, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, other payables, purchase consideration payable, accrued liabilities, short-term debts and long-term debt approximate their fair values because of their short maturity.

The carrying amount of the variable portion of our variable long-term bank loans approximate their fair value because the interest rates of the loans are close to the prevailing bank interest rate.

The estimated fair value of the convertible notes at December 31, 2006 and 2007, was $167.6 million and $158.4 million, respectively.

135

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

In 2006 and 2007, after acquiring Ross and Pivotal, we incurred significant research and development expenses. As discussed in Item 5.A – “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – Capitalization of Software Costs”, we capitalize certain software development costs and expense others. As part of our overall strategy to develop and introduce more proprietary products to sell across our business lines and service offerings, we anticipate that our research and development costs may increase on an absolute basis, but not as a percentage of overall revenue.

D. Trend Information

Our focus on the enterprise software and on-line games industries has positioned us within industry sectors which continued to undergo rapid change over the course of fiscal 2007.

In our Software segment, we made progress during 2007 in our continued integration and focus on operational improvements in relation to our acquisitions of Pivotal and Ross made in 2004. Pivotal’s CRM front-office software and Ross’s comprehensive, modular suite of enterprise software have enlarged our product portfolio; however, we believe it will take several more quarters for us to leverage the synergies that we consider are inherent within our enlarged software businesses. We intend to continue to execute our software strategy through targeted acquisitions and investments in our Software segment and through entering strategic partnerships with leading software vendors.

In our China.com business unit, the operating environment for the MVAS sector continued to be challenging in 2007, with sanctions and new policies imposed by the regulators and mobile operators. We determined that there was no reasonable instance where our MVAS business would be profitable in the foreseeable future. As a result, in February 2008, we announced that we were discontinuing our MVAS business and we have since discontinued these operations.

We continued to execute our online games strategy through the acquisition of Optic during 2007, an online games publisher with a track record in launching and distributing online games in the China market. In the future, we may add investments in online game-related companies, which we expect may allow us to broaden our service offerings, subscriber base, or platform capabilities.

In 2008, we expect continued growth in revenue as a result of acquisitions and investments.

In light of the many risks and uncertainties surrounding our company and the geographies and markets in which we operate, shareholders, investors and prospective investors should keep in mind that we cannot guarantee that the forward-looking statements described in this Annual Report will or can materialize.

136

E. Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We have the following derivative financial instruments:

Horizon

In February 2006, Software Galeria Inc., our 51% owned subsidiary (“SGI”), acquired the IT consulting services business of Horizon, which offers outsourced information technology professional services in the U.S. and Canada, utilizing India-based resources. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid $0.6 million in cash at closing and paid an additional $0.6 million of cash consideration in installments during 2006. We also agreed to pay additional cash consideration of $1,000 in 2007 and 2008 based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). In addition, we agreed to issue to the sellers up to a 20% equity interest in the entity formed to acquire the assets purchased from Horizon in the event the EBITDA generated from the purchased business exceeds specified targets during each of 2006, 2007 and 2008. Specified targets were not met in 2006 or 2007, so no equity was issued to the sellers. The sellers have the right to put their equity interest back to us between April 2009 and April 2011 at a predetermined and fixed cash consideration. See “Note 3- Business Combinations” in “Item 18- Financial Statements” for further discussion on Horizon.

CDC Convertible Notes

As discussed in Item 5.B - “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” in November 2006, we issued $168 million of 3.75% senior exchangeable, unsecured convertible notes in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Conversion Option. Under the terms of the notes, the holders have the right to exchange such notes into our common shares or upon a qualifying initial public offering (“IPO”), common shares of two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries based on a predetermined exchange price and when the IPO is consummated.

The aggregate number of common shares of the our common stock that we may deliver to the holders in connection with exchanges of the notes is capped at a maximum of 19.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of the issue date of the note. The aggregate number of common shares of each subsidiary that we are required to deliver to holders in connection with exchanges of the notes is capped at a maximum of 33.33% of the number of shares of each subsidiary’s common stock outstanding as of the time of the exchange.

Upon the occurrence of an IPO of either subsidiary and if the holders of the notes decide to convert the notes into the respective subsidiary’s shares, we have agreed to satisfy the conversion option by delivering the existing shares of its investment into the subsidiary. The investors have agreed to a lock-up period of up to 180 days following the date of an IPO prospectus during which the investors will refrain from selling any of each subsidiary’s respective common shares. See “Note 11 - Financing Arrangements” in “Item 18 - Financial Statements” for further discussion on the Convertible Notes.

Collateralized Debt Obligations

In 2006, we acquired an equity interest in two collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”) coupled with a U.S. treasury strip for an aggregate nominal amount of $38.7 million (see “Note 7 - Investments” in “Item 18 - Financial Statements” for further discussion on our investments). These investments are subject to variability as there is no stated coupon rate and the equity interest in these investments are subject to changes in returns on the collateralized debt backing the interest. The principal amount in these investments is backed by U.S. treasury strips.

We currently intend to hold the CDO investments as long term investments, not to be traded in the near term. As the aforementioned investments are not publicly traded and have no

137

active market, fair value as of December 31, 2007, was determined by the respective brokers and validated by management based on expected cash flow returns discounted by rates consistent with rates of return offered on comparable investments with comparable risks. Moreover, in 2007, management based the fair value on binding quotes received from third parties for these investments. These valuations represent management’s best estimate of fair value of these investments at December 31, 2006 and 2007, and may or may not represent the ultimate value of these investments.

CDC Corporation Equity Incentive Plans

2005 Stock Incentive Plan

The CDC Corporation 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2005 Plan, was adopted by our shareholders at the annual general meeting of our shareholders held on November 4, 2005. The purpose of the 2005 Plan is to make available incentives, including alternatives to stock options that will assist the Company to attract and retain key employees and to encourage them to increase their efforts to promote the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. These incentives include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted unit awards, performance shares and performance cash.

A summary of the 2005 Plan is set forth below, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2005 Plan, a copy of which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Purpose. The 2005 Plan is intended to make available incentives that will assist us in attracting and retaining key employees and to encourage them to increase their efforts to promote our business and the business of our subsidiaries. We may provide these incentives through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted unit awards, performance shares and performance cash.

Shares Subject to 2005 Plan. Subject to adjustments under certain conditions, the maximum aggregate number of Class A Common Shares, or Shares, which may be issued pursuant to all awards under the 2005 Plan is the aggregate number of Shares available for future grants and Shares subject to awards which expire or are cancelled or forfeited under our previous equity incentive plan, the 1999 Stock Option Plan, or the 1999 Plan. In November 2007, our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2005 Plan to increase the number of Shares available for future grant by 10.0 million Shares. At December 31, 2007, 3,303,581 Class A common shares of CDC Corporation were outstanding under the 2005 Plan with a weighted average exercise price of approximately $5.23 per share, of which 994,319 options had vested. We currently have an aggregate of 10,674,176 Shares available for future grant under the 2005 Plan and the 1999 Plan.

149

Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and in outstanding awards to prevent dilution or enlargement of grantees’ rights in the event of a stock split or other change our capital structure. Shares as to which an award is granted under the 2005 Plan that remain unexercised at their expiration, are forfeited or are otherwise terminated may be the subject of the grant of further awards under the 2005 Plan. Shares covered by an award granted under the 2005 Plan shall not be counted as used unless and until they are actually issued and delivered to the grantee. The Shares available will not be reduced by awards settled in cash.

Administration. The administrator of our 2005 Plan will generally be a committee appointed by our Board of Directors. We intend that this committee shall consist solely of two or more “outside directors” so that awards granted pursuant to the 2005 Plan will qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Subject to the provisions of the 2005 Plan, the administrator determines in its discretion the persons to whom and the times at which awards are granted, the types and sizes of such awards, and all of their terms and conditions. All awards must be evidenced by a written agreement between us and the grantee. The administrator may amend, cancel or renew any award, waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to any award, and accelerate, continue, extend or defer the vesting of any award. The administrator has the authority to construe and interpret the terms of the 2005 Plan and awards granted under it.

Eligibility. Awards may be granted under the 2005 Plan to any of our employees, directors, and consultants or any employees, directors or consultants of any of our related entities including any parent, subsidiary or other business in which we hold a substantial ownership interest. While we grant incentive stock options only to employees, we may grant non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted unit awards, performance shares and performance cash to any eligible grantee.

Stock Options. The administrator may grant non-qualified stock options, “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, or any combination of these. The exercise price of each non-qualified stock option may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of our Shares on the date of grant. The exercise price of each incentive stock option may not be less than the fair market value of our Shares on the date of grant. Any incentive stock option granted to a person who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our stock or any parent or subsidiary must have an exercise price not less than 110% of the fair market value of our Shares on the date of grant and a term not exceeding five years. The term of all other options may not exceed seven years. The administrator may amend the exercise price of any option. Options vest and become exercisable at such times or upon such events and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria or restrictions as specified by the administrator. Unless a longer period is provided by the administrator, an option generally will remain exercisable up to one month following the cessation of employment, except that if cessation of employment is as a result of the grantee’s death or disability, the option generally will remain exercisable for the one year period following such cessation, but in any event not beyond the expiration of its term.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A stock appreciation right gives a grantee the right to receive the appreciation, if any, in the fair market value of our Shares on the date of its exercise over the exercise price. We generally pay the appreciation in Shares, in accordance with the terms of the grantee’s award agreement. The administrator may grant stock appreciation rights under the 2005 Plan in tandem with a related stock option or as a freestanding award. A tandem stock appreciation right is exercisable only at the time and to the same extent that the related option is exercisable, and its exercise causes the related option to be canceled. The exercise price of a tandem stock appreciation right shall be the exercise price per share under the related stock option. Freestanding stock appreciation rights vest and become exercisable at the times and on the terms established by the administrator. The exercise price of a freestanding stock appreciation right shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value of our Shares on the date of grant. The maximum term of any stock appreciation right granted under the 2005 Plan is seven years.

Restricted Stock Awards. The administrator may grant restricted stock awards under the 2005 Plan subject to vesting conditions determined by the administrator (including vesting conditions based on service

150

or performance criteria). Shares granted as restricted stock awards may not be transferred by the grantee until vested. A grantee’s rights in unvested restricted stock generally will lapse and his unvested restricted stock will be forfeited back to us one month following his termination of employment with us for any reason unless the administrator otherwise determines in its sole discretion. Grantees holding restricted stock will have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to such award (including the right to any dividends paid), except that dividends or other distributions paid in shares will be subject to the same restrictions as the original award. The 2005 Plan also authorizes the administrator to establish a deferred compensation award program under which selected grantees may elect to receive fully vested restricted stock in lieu of compensation otherwise payable in cash or in lieu of cash or shares of stock otherwise issuable upon the exercise of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares or performance cash.

Restricted Unit Awards. Restricted units granted under the 2005 Plan mean the right, awarded to a grantee pursuant to an award agreement, to receive an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of one share for such consideration, if any, and subject to such terms set forth in the award agreement and such other restrictions on transfer, rights of first refusal, repurchase provisions, forfeiture provisions and other terms as established by the administrator. The administrator may grant restricted unit awards subject to the attainment of performance goals similar to those described below in connection with performance shares and performance units, or may make the awards subject to vesting conditions similar to those applicable to restricted stock awards. Grantees have no voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends with respect to restricted unit awards until our Shares are issued in settlement of such awards. However, the administrator may grant restricted unit awards that entitle their holders to receive dividend equivalents, which are rights to receive additional restricted units for a number of shares whose value is equal to any cash dividends we pay.

Performance Shares and Performance Cash. The administrator may grant performance shares and performance cash under the 2005 Plan, which are awards that will result in a payment to a grantee only if specified performance goals are achieved during a specified performance period. Performance share awards are denominated in our Shares, while performance cash awards are denominated in cash. To the extent earned, performance share and performance cash awards may be settled in cash, Shares, including restricted stock, or any combination of these. Unless otherwise determined by the administrator, if a grantee’s service terminates due to death or disability before the completion of the applicable performance period, the final award value is determined at the end of the period on the basis of the performance goals attained during the entire period, but payment is prorated for the portion of the period during which the grantee remained in service.

Maximum Grants. The maximum number of options or stock appreciation rights which may be awarded to any grantee during any annual period is 1,000,000 in the aggregate. The maximum number of Shares which may be awarded to any grantee during any annual period as restricted stock, restricted units or performance shares is 500,000 in the aggregate. The maximum amount of performance cash which any grantee may earn during any annual period is $500,000. These maximum grants are included so that awards granted pursuant to the 2005 Plan will qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Nontransferability of Awards. Incentive stock options granted under the 2005 Plan shall by its terms be nontransferable by the grantee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution of the jurisdiction wherein the grantee is domiciled at the time of death. For other awards, the administrator may (but need not, and subject to the terms provided by the award agreement) permit other transfers, where the administrator concludes that such transferability is appropriate and desirable.

Change in Control. If a change in control shall occur, then the administrator may make such adjustments as it, in its discretion, determines are necessary or appropriate in light of the change in control (including, without limitation, the substitution of shares other than our Shares as the Shares subject to award under the 2005 Plan, and the acceleration of the exercisability or vesting of the awards), provided that the administrator determines that such adjustments do not have a substantial adverse economic impact on the grantee as determined at the time of the adjustments.

Amendment and Termination. The 2005 Plan will continue in effect until the tenth anniversary of its approval by the shareholders, unless earlier terminated by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may amend, suspend or terminate the 2005 Plan as it shall deem advisable, except that no amendment may

151

adversely affect a grantee with respect to awards previously granted unless such amendments are in connection with compliance with applicable laws; provided that the Board of Directors may not make any amendment in the 2005 Plan that would, if such amendment were not approved by the shareholders, cause the 2005 Plan to fail to comply with any requirement of applicable laws, unless and until shareholder approval is obtained. No award may be granted during any suspension of the 2005 Plan or after termination of the 2005 Plan.

Non-U.S. Subsidiaries. Without amending the 2005 Plan, in consideration of us not being a U.S. corporation, the administrator may allow for participation by employees of our non-U.S. subsidiaries with such modifications of the terms and conditions otherwise specified in the 2005 Plan as may, in the judgment of the administrator, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the 2005 Plan. Any limitations on the number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to all awards set forth in the 2005 Plan shall be applied and administered with respect to the aggregate of the 2005 Plan and all such separate plans.

1999 Stock Option Plan

We also maintain our 1999 Stock Option Plan, or the 1999 Plan. A summary of the 1999 Plan is set forth below, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 1999 Plan, a copy of which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our directors, executive officers and employees are eligible to receive options under the 1999 Plan. Pursuant to the 1999 Plan, as amended, options may be granted to our directors, executive officers, employees and consultants and the directors, executive officers, employees and consultants of our subsidiaries for the purchase of up to an aggregate of 20.0 million of our Class A common shares, of which 0.6 million remain available for grant under the 1999 Plan. At December 31, 2007, options to purchase 9,519,097 of our Class A common shares of CDC Corporation were outstanding under the 1999 Plan, with a weighted average exercise price of $4.63. Of such outstanding options, 5,342,912 had vested. We currently have an aggregate of 10,674,176 Shares available for future grant under the 2005 Plan and the 1999 Plan.

The 1999 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of our Board of Directors, which determines, at its discretion, the number of Class A common shares subject to each option granted and the related purchase price and option period.

The 1999 Plan requires that each option will expire on the date specified by the compensation committee, but not more than ten years from the date on which the option was granted. Under the 1999 Plan, unless otherwise specified in the option award agreement, upon the voluntary termination of employment by an option holder or termination of an option holder for cause by us, any options granted under the 1999 Plan to the option holder generally will terminate. If termination was due to death, retirement or disability, the option holder, or his or her successors, have a period of one year within which to exercise the option holder’s options. If termination was due to any other reason, options granted under the 1999 Plan may be exercised within three months of the termination. Options granted are nontransferable except by will or as otherwise authorized by the compensation committee.

Upon the occurrence of any change in our capital structure, including any merger, liquidation, reorganization, or recapitalization, the compensation committee may amend the 1999 Plan to preserve the rights of option holders substantially proportionate to their rights existing prior to the occurrence of such event, as it may deem necessary. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, the compensation committee may amend the 1999 Plan as it may deem appropriate provided that such adjustments do not have a substantial adverse impact on the option holder. Unless terminated earlier by action of our board of directors, the 1999 Plan will terminate on May 17, 2009, the ten year anniversary of the approval of the 1999 Plan by our Board of Directors and shareholders.

Assumption of Ross’ 1998 Incentive Stock Plan

In connection with our acquisition of Ross Systems, Inc. which was consummated in August 2004, we agreed to replace Ross stock options with an exercise price of $19.00 per share or less with options to purchase our Class A common shares under substantially similar terms. The Ross stock options had been issued under Ross’ 1998 Incentive Stock Plan, and Ross had previously registered the shares issuable under such plan with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to the terms of the amended merger

152

agreement with Ross, each Ross stock option was converted into an option to acquire our shares based on a conversion ratio of 4.358 CDC options for each Ross stock option. In connection with the merger, we assumed Ross’ 1998 Incentive Stock Plan, and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission 950,000 Class A common shares which represented the aggregate number of Class A common shares that may be issued upon exercise of the options which had been granted under Ross’ 1998 Incentive Stock Plan and 1,400,000 Class A common shares which represented the aggregate number of Class A common shares that may be issued upon exercise of options which could still be granted under Ross’ 1998 Incentive Stock Plan.

As of March 31, 2008, we had not granted any additional options under the Ross 1998 Incentive Stock Plan.

2004 Employee Share Purchase Plan

During 2004, we established and implemented an employee share purchase plan, or ESPP, which allows eligible employees to purchase our Class A common shares at a discount through payroll deductions during two annual purchase periods. The eligibility criteria for participation in the ESPP include the following:

• completion of at least 180 days of continuous service with us or an eligible subsidiary;

• customarily work more than 20 hours per week and five months in a year for us or an eligible subsidiary; and

• the participant owns less than 5% ownership of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of our capital stock or the capital stock of any of our subsidiaries.

Nationals of the PRC who reside in the PRC as a permanent resident are not eligible to participate in the ESPP. The two purchase periods over every twelve-month time span are from October 1 to March 31 of the following year and April 1 to September 30 of the same year. Participants in the ESPP may select payroll deductions in whole percentages, from 1% to 10% of base salary. Class A common shares are purchased using the funds set aside through the payroll deductions at the end of each purchase period at a 15% discount to the lower of the market value of a Class A common share on the first day of the purchase period or the last day of the purchase period. We have set a limit of 1,000 shares as the number of shares that any single employee may purchase in any single purchase period. We have reserved an aggregate of 2,000,000 Class A common shares for issuance under the ESPP, and an aggregate of no more than 300,000 Class A common shares are available for purchase during any purchase period. In connection with implementing the 2004 ESPP, we terminated our prior employee share purchase plans which had previously been suspended.

As of December 31, 2007, we had issued 533,103 Class A common shares under the ESPP.

China.com Equity Incentive Plans

China.com has adopted three share option schemes pursuant to which it may issue options to acquire its ordinary shares, par value HK$0.10 per share: (i) the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme; (ii) the Post-IPO Share Option; and (iii) the 2002 Share Option Scheme. Under these share option schemes, China.com may generally issue options to directors, employees, advisors, consultants, vendors and suppliers. The maximum number of shares which can be granted under the Pre-IPO Scheme and the Post-IPO Scheme must not exceed 10% of the issued share capital of China.com as of the date of the listing of its shares on the Growth Enterprise Market, or GEM, of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The maximum number of shares which can be granted under the 2002 Scheme must not exceed 10% of the issued share capital of China.com at the date of approval of the scheme. As of December 31, 2007, the number of shares issuable under the Pre-IPO Scheme, the Post-IPO Scheme and the 2002 Scheme were 11,980,000 shares, 1,279,012 shares and 340,899,322 shares, respectively, which represented approximately 8.1% of the aggregate of China.com’s shares in issue at that date. Pursuant to the Pre-IPO Scheme and the Post-IPO Scheme, no participant shall be granted an option which, if accepted and exercised in full, would result in such a participant’s maximum

153

entitlement exceeding 25% of the aggregate number of shares of China.com subject to such schemes. The maximum number of shares issuable as options to each eligible participant in the 2002 Scheme in any 12 month period shall not exceed, without shareholder approval, 1% of the issued share capital of China.com from time to time. All share options must be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant. The exercise price for options issued under the Pre-IPO Scheme was set at HK$1.88 per share. The exercise price of options issued under the Post-IPO Scheme and the 2002 Scheme is determined by the directors of China.com, but may not be less than the higher of the following:

• the closing price of China.com’s shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on the date of grant of the options;

• the average of the closing prices of China.com’s shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant of the share options; and

• the nominal value of China.com’s shares.

CDC Software Corporation 2007 Stock Incentive Plan

CDC Software has adopted and we, as sole shareholder, have approved the CDC Software Corporation 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2007 Plan. A summary of the 2007 Plan is set forth below, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2007 Plan, a copy of which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to this Annual Report.

Purpose. The 2007 Plan is intended to make available incentives that will assist CDC Software in attracting and retaining key employees and to encourage them to increase their efforts to promote the business of CDC Software and its subsidiaries. CDC Software may provide these incentives through the grant of share options, share appreciation rights, restricted share awards, restricted unit awards, performance shares and performance cash.

Shares Subject to 2007 Plan. Subject to adjustments under certain conditions, the maximum aggregate number of CDC Software Corporation Class A common shares, or CDC Software Shares, that may be issued pursuant to all awards under the 2007 Plan is 3,750,000. At December 31, 2007 options to purchase 1,975,000 of CDC Software Shares have been granted under the 2007 Plan. The options will vest in equal installments on a quarterly basis over the three year period immediately following the consummation of an initial public offering of CDC Software Shares, and have an expiration date on the seventh anniversary of the date of grant.

Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and in outstanding awards to prevent dilution or enlargement of grantees’ rights in the event of a share split or other change in CDC Software’s capital structure. Shares as to which an award is granted under the 2007 Plan that remain unexercised at their expiration, are forfeited or are otherwise terminated may be the subject of the grant of further awards under the 2007 Plan. CDC Software Shares covered by an award granted under the 2007 Plan shall not be counted as used unless and until they are actually issued and delivered to the grantee. The CDC Software Shares available will not be reduced by awards settled in cash.

Administration. The administrator of the 2007 Plan will generally be the compensation committee of CDC Software appointed by the CDC Software Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the 2007 Plan, the administrator determines in its discretion the persons to whom and the times at which awards are granted, the types and sizes of such awards, and all of their terms and conditions. All awards must be evidenced by a written agreement between CDC Software and the grantee. The administrator may amend, cancel or renew any award, waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to any award, and accelerate, continue, extend or defer the vesting of any award. The administrator has the authority to construe and interpret the terms of the 2007 Plan and awards granted under it.

Eligibility. Awards may be granted under the 2007 Plan to employees, directors, and consultants of CDC Software or any related entity, including any parent, subsidiary or other business in which CDC Software, any parent or subsidiary holds a substantial ownership interest. While CDC Software grants

154

“incentive stock options” only to employees, CDC Software may grant non-qualified options, share appreciation rights, restricted share awards, restricted unit awards, performance shares and performance cash to any eligible grantee.

Stock Options. The administrator may grant non-qualified options, “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, or any combination of these. The exercise price of each non-qualified option may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of CDC Software’s shares on the date of grant. The exercise price of each incentive stock option may not be less than the fair market value of CDC Software’s shares on the date of grant. Any incentive stock option granted to a person who owns shares possessing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of shares of CDC Software or any parent or subsidiary must have an exercise price not less than 110% of the fair market value of CDC Software’s shares on the date of grant and a term not exceeding five years. The term of all other options may not exceed seven years. The administrator may amend the exercise price of any option. Options vest and become exercisable at such times or upon such events and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria or restrictions as specified by the administrator. Unless a longer period is provided by the administrator, an option generally will remain exercisable up to one month following the cessation of employment, except that if cessation of employment is as a result of the grantee’s death or disability, the option generally will remain exercisable for the one year period following such cessation, but in any event not beyond the expiration of its term.

Share Appreciation Rights. A share appreciation right gives a grantee the right to receive the appreciation, if any, in the fair market value of CDC Software’s shares on the date of its exercise over the exercise price. CDC Software generally pays the appreciation in shares, in accordance with the terms of the grantee’s award agreement. The administrator may grant share appreciation rights under the 2007 Plan in tandem with a related option or as a freestanding award. A tandem share appreciation right is exercisable only at the time and to the same extent that the related option is exercisable, and its exercise causes the related option to be canceled. The exercise price of a tandem share appreciation right shall be the exercise price per share under the related option. Freestanding share appreciation rights vest and become exercisable at the times and on the terms established by the administrator. The exercise price of a freestanding share appreciation right shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value of CDC Software’s shares on the date of grant. The maximum term of any share appreciation right granted under the 2007 Plan is seven years.

Restricted Share Awards. The administrator may grant restricted share awards under the 2007 Plan subject to vesting conditions determined by the administrator (including vesting conditions based on service or performance criteria). Shares granted as restricted share awards may not be transferred by the grantee until vested. A grantee’s rights in unvested restricted shares generally will lapse and his unvested restricted share will be forfeited back to CDC Software one month following his termination of employment with CDC Software for any reason unless the administrator otherwise determines in its sole discretion. Grantees holding restricted shares will have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to such award (including the right to any dividends paid), except that dividends or other distributions paid in shares will be subject to the same restrictions as the original award. The 2007 Plan also authorizes the administrator to establish a deferred compensation award program under which selected grantees may elect to receive fully vested restricted shares in lieu of compensation otherwise payable in cash or in lieu of cash or shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise of options, share appreciation rights, performance shares or performance cash.

Restricted Unit Awards. Restricted units granted under the 2007 Plan mean the right, awarded to a grantee pursuant to an award agreement, to receive an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of one share for such consideration, if any, and subject to such terms set forth in the award agreement and such other restrictions on transfer, rights of first refusal, repurchase provisions, forfeiture provisions and other terms as established by the administrator. The administrator may grant restricted unit awards subject to the attainment of performance goals similar to those described below in connection with performance shares and performance units, or may make the awards subject to vesting conditions similar to those applicable to restricted share awards. Grantees have no voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends with respect to restricted unit awards until CDC Software shares are issued in settlement of such awards. However, the administrator may grant restricted unit awards that entitle their holders to receive dividend equivalents, which are rights to receive additional restricted units for a number of shares whose value is equal to any cash dividends we pay.

155

Performance Shares and Performance Cash. The administrator may grant performance shares and performance cash under the 2007 Plan, which are awards that will result in a payment to a grantee only if specified performance goals are achieved during a specified performance period. Performance share awards are denominated in CDC Software shares, while performance cash awards are denominated in cash. To the extent earned, performance share and performance cash awards may be settled in cash, shares, including restricted shares, or any combination of these. Unless otherwise determined by the administrator, if a grantee’s service terminates due to death or disability before the completion of the applicable performance period, the final award value is determined at the end of the period on the basis of the performance goals attained during the entire period, but payment is prorated for the portion of the period during which the grantee remained in service.

Maximum Grants. The maximum number of options or share appreciation rights which may be awarded to any grantee during any annual period is 1,000,000 in the aggregate. The maximum number of shares which may be awarded to any grantee during any annual period as restricted shares, restricted units or performance shares is 500,000 in the aggregate. The maximum amount of performance cash which any grantee may earn during any annual period is $0.5 million.

Amendment and Termination. The 2007 Plan will continue in effect until the tenth anniversary of its approval by the shareholders, unless earlier terminated by CDC Software’s board of directors. CDC Software’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the 2007 Plan as it shall deem advisable, except that no amendment may adversely affect a grantee with respect to awards previously granted unless such amendments are in connection with compliance with applicable laws; provided that the board of directors may not make any amendment in the 2007 Plan that would, if such amendment were not approved by the shareholders, cause the 2007 Plan to fail to comply with any requirement of applicable laws, unless and until shareholder approval is obtained. No award may be granted during any suspension of the 2007 Plan or after termination of the 2007 Plan.

CDC Games Corporation 2007 Stock Incentive Plan

CDC Games has adopted and we, as sole shareholder, have approved the CDC Games Corporation 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, or the 2007 Games Plan. A summary of the 2007 Games Plan is set forth below, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2007 Games Plan, a copy of which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to this Annual Report.

Purpose. The 2007 Games Plan is intended to make available incentives that will assist CDC Games to attract and retain key employees and to encourage them to increase their efforts to promote its business and the business of its subsidiaries. CDC Games may provide these incentives through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted unit awards, performance shares and performance cash.

Shares Subject to 2007 Games Plan. Subject to adjustments under certain conditions, the maximum aggregate number of Class A common shares of CDC Games Corporation which may be issued pursuant to all awards under the 2007 Games Plan is 3,750,000. At December 31, 2007 options to purchase 1,718,000 of CDC Games Shares have been granted under the 2007 Games Plan. The options will vest in equal installments on a quarterly basis over the three year period immediately following the consummations of an initial public offering of CDC Games Shares, and have an expiration date on the seventh anniversary of the date of grant.

Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and in outstanding awards to prevent dilution or enlargement of grantees’ rights in the event of a stock split or other change in CDC Games’ capital structure. Shares as to which an award is granted under the 2007 Games Plan that remain unexercised at their expiration, are forfeited or are otherwise terminated may be the subject of the grant of further awards under the 2007 Games Plan. Shares covered by an award granted under the 2007 Games Plan shall not be counted as used unless and until they are actually issued and delivered to the grantee. The CDC Games shares available will not be reduced by awards settled in cash.

156

Administration. The administrator of the 2007 Games Plan will generally be a committee appointed by the board of directors, which committee we intend to consist solely of two or more “outside directors” so that awards granted pursuant to the 2007 Games Plan will qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Subject to the provisions of the 2007 Games Plan, the administrator determines in its discretion the persons to whom and the times at which awards are granted, the types and sizes of such awards, and all of their terms and conditions. All awards must be evidenced by a written agreement between CDC Games and the grantee. The administrator may amend, cancel or renew any award, waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to any award, and accelerate, continue, extend or defer the vesting of any award. The administrator has the authority to construe and interpret the terms of the 2007 Games Plan and awards granted under it.

Eligibility. Awards may be granted under the 2007 Games Plan to employees, directors, and consultants of CDC Games or any related entity, including any parent, subsidiary or other business in which CDC Games, any parent or subsidiary thereof holds a substantial ownership interest. While CDC Games grants incentive stock options only to employees, it may grant non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted unit awards, performance shares and performance cash to any eligible grantee.

Stock Options. The administrator may grant non-qualified stock options, “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, or any combination of these. The exercise price of each non-qualified stock option may not be less than 85% of the fair market value of CDC Games’ shares on the date of grant. The exercise price of each incentive stock option may not be less than the fair market value of CDC Games’ shares on the date of grant. Any incentive stock option granted to a person who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of CDC Games or any parent or subsidiary thereof must have an exercise price not less than 110% of the fair market value of CDC Games’ shares on the date of grant and a term not exceeding five years. The term of all other options may not exceed seven years. The administrator may amend the exercise price of any option. Options vest and become exercisable at such times or upon such events and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria or restrictions as specified by the administrator. Unless a longer period is provided by the administrator, an option generally will remain exercisable up to one month following the cessation of employment, except that if cessation of employment is as a result of the grantee’s death or disability, the option generally will remain exercisable for the one year period following such cessation, but in any event not beyond the expiration of its term.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A stock appreciation right gives a grantee the right to receive the appreciation, if any, in the fair market value of CDC Games shares on the date of its exercise over the exercise price. CDC Games may pay the appreciation either in cash or in shares in accordance with the terms of the grantee’s award agreement. The administrator may grant stock appreciation rights under the 2007 Games Plan in tandem with a related stock option or as a freestanding award. A tandem stock appreciation right is exercisable only at the time and to the same extent that the related option is exercisable, and its exercise causes the related option to be canceled. The exercise price of a tandem stock appreciation right shall be the exercise price per share under the related stock option. Freestanding stock appreciation rights vest and become exercisable at the times and on the terms established by the administrator. The exercise price of a freestanding stock appreciation right shall not be less than 85% of the fair market value of CDC Games’ shares on the date of grant. The maximum term of any stock appreciation right granted under the 2007 Games Plan is seven years.

Restricted Stock Awards. The administrator may grant restricted stock awards under the 2007 Games Plan subject to vesting conditions determined by the administrator (including vesting conditions based on service or performance criteria). Shares granted as restricted stock awards may not be transferred by the grantee until vested. A grantee’s rights in unvested restricted stock generally will lapse and his unvested restricted stock will be forfeited back to CDC Games one month following his termination of employment with CDC Games for any reason unless the administrator otherwise determines in its sole discretion. Grantees holding restricted stock will have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to such award (including the right to any dividends paid), except that dividends or other distributions paid in shares will be subject to the same restrictions as the original award. The 2007 Plan also authorizes the administrator to establish a deferred compensation award program under which selected grantees may elect

157

to receive fully vested restricted stock in lieu of compensation otherwise payable in cash or in lieu of cash or shares of stock otherwise issuable upon the exercise of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares or performance cash.

Restricted Unit Awards. Restricted units granted under the 2007 Games Plan mean the right, awarded to a grantee pursuant to an award agreement, to receive an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of one share for such consideration, if any, and subject to such terms set forth in the award agreement and such other restrictions on transfer, rights of first refusal, repurchase provisions, forfeiture provisions and other terms as established by the administrator. The administrator may grant restricted unit awards subject to the attainment of performance goals similar to those described below in connection with performance shares and performance units, or may make the awards subject to vesting conditions similar to those applicable to restricted stock awards. Grantees have no voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends with respect to restricted unit awards until CDC Games’ shares are issued in settlement of such awards. However, the administrator may grant restricted unit awards that entitle their holders to receive dividend equivalents, which are rights to receive additional restricted units for a number of shares whose value is equal to any cash dividends we pay.

Performance Shares and Performance Cash. The administrator may grant performance shares and performance cash under the 2007 Games Plan, which are awards that will result in a payment to a grantee only if specified performance goals are achieved during a specified performance period. Performance share awards are denominated in CDC Games shares, while performance cash awards are denominated in cash. To the extent earned, performance share and performance cash awards may be settled in cash, shares, including restricted stock, or any combination of these. Unless otherwise determined by the administrator, if a grantee’s service terminates due to death or disability before the completion of the applicable performance period, the final award value is determined at the end of the period on the basis of the performance goals attained during the entire period, but payment is prorated for the portion of the period during which the grantee remained in service.

Maximum Grants. The maximum number of options or stock appreciation rights which may be awarded to any grantee during any annual period is 1,000,000 in the aggregate. The maximum number of shares which may be awarded to any grantee during any annual period as restricted stock, restricted units or performance shares is 500,000 in the aggregate. The maximum amount of performance cash which any grantee may earn during any annual period is $0.5 million.

Amendment and Termination. The 2007 Games Plan will continue in effect until the tenth anniversary of its approval by the shareholders, unless earlier terminated by CDC Games’ board of directors. CDC Games’ board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the 2007 Games Plan as it shall deem advisable, except that no amendment may adversely affect a grantee with respect to awards previously granted unless such amendments are in connection with compliance with applicable laws; provided that the board of directors may not make any amendment in the 2007 Games Plan that would, if such amendment were not approved by the shareholders, cause the 2007 Games Plan to fail to comply with any requirement of applicable laws, unless and until shareholder approval is obtained. No award may be granted during any suspension of the 2007 Games Plan or after termination of the 2007 Games Plan.

Acceleration of Stock Options in response to FASB 123 (revised 2004)

FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, such as the options issued under our 2005 Stock Option Plan and the options assumed under Ross’ 1998 Incentive Stock Plan, be recognized in our financial statements. Since the first quarter of 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission has required public companies to implement the standards of FASB Statement No. 123R. To mitigate the potential impact of FASB Statement No. 123R on our financial statements, in December 2005, our board of directors approved the vesting of all stock options granted to employees and directors with a strike price of $3.50 or higher. Further, to prevent senior executives and directors personally benefiting from the acceleration, our board of directors also resolved that all employees with aggregate option grants greater than 25,000 option and all members of the board of directors of the Company should agree to restrictions that would prevent the sale of any share received from the exercise of an accelerated option prior to the original vesting date of the option. The

158

purpose of the acceleration was to enable us to avoid recognizing compensation expense associated with these options upon the adoption of SFAS 123R in January 2006. We also believed that because the options that were accelerated had exercise prices in excess of the current market value of our Class A common stock, the options had limited economic value and were not fully achieving their original objective of employee retention and incentive compensation.

C. Board Practices

Terms of Directors and Executive Officers

Our board of directors is divided into three classes, each class generally having a term of three years. Each year the term of one class expires and nominees for membership in that class are eligible to be elected at the relevant annual meeting of shareholders. All directors hold office until the relevant annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Executive officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the board of directors. Information relating to the terms of office of our board members is set forth herein under Item 6.A., “Directors, Senior Management and Employees, Directors and Senior Management.”

Pursuant to arrangements between CDC and APOL effective April 2006, so long as: (i) Mr. Peter Yip, or together with his immediate family, is the beneficial owner of more than 50% of APOL; and (ii) APOL beneficially owns at least 5% of our Class A common shares, APOL has the right to designate a director to serve on our board.

No director or executive officer has been the subject of any order, judgment, or decree of any governmental agency or administrator or of any court of competent jurisdiction, revoking or suspending for cause any license, permit or other authority of such person or of any corporation in which he or she is a director or executive officer, to engage in normal business activities of such person or corporation.

Except as disclosed herein, there are no family relationships between any of the named directors and executive officers and there are no material arrangements or understandings that exist between any such director or executive officer and CDC pursuant to which any such person was appointed as a director or executive officer of CDC. Mr. Antony Ip, who serves as a director of CDC Games is the son of Peter Yip. For details of such material arrangements or understanding that exist between any of the named directors or executive officers and CDC, see Item 7.B., “Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions – Related Party Transactions.”

Committees of the Board of Directors

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, our Board of Directors had four standing committees:

• the executive committee;

• the audit committee;

• the compensation committee; and

• the nominating committee.

The executive committee of the board has been authorized, during any interim period between quarterly meetings of the full board of directors, to act for and in lieu of the full board of directors and to approve of any transaction requiring board approval by the board of directors that does not exceed aggregate consideration to be paid by us of more than $40.0 million in cash and equity, with any equity component not to exceed 1,000,000 Class A common shares.

As of April 30, 2008, Messrs. Ch’ien, Yip, Wong and Clough served on the executive committee, with Mr. Clough serving as chairman.

In addition, since February 2002, the audit committee has reviewed the terms of proposed transactions with related parties in accordance with the terms of our articles of association. Since May 2003, the audit committee has also been responsible for reviewing our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This responsibility includes reviewing documentation of our internal controls and key processes and procedures in order to report on compliance with Section 404, “Management Assessment of Internal Controls”. The Audit Committee is comprised of directors who qualify as an independent director for purposes of the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Global Market and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and operates under a charter that is compliant with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Global Market.

E. Share Ownership

Beneficial ownership of our Class A common shares by our directors, senior executive officers and other major shareholders is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to those shares. In computing the number of Class A common shares beneficially owned by a person, and the percentage ownership of that person, Class A common shares subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days after December 31, 2007 are deemed beneficially owned and outstanding, but such Class A common shares are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the ownership percentage of any other person.

As of April 30, 2008, none of our directors and senior executive officers, except for Mr. Yip and Dr. Ch’ien, beneficially owns more than 1% of our Class A common shares. Mr. Yip is the beneficial owner of approximately 20.9% of our Class A common shares. Dr. Ch’ien is the beneficial owner of approximately 1.08% of our Class A common shares.

In consideration of providing the services of Mr. Yip, we agreed to pay APOL cash remuneration of $1 per annum; grant APOL options to purchase 2.4 million shares of our Class A common stock, which options shall vest quarterly over a three year period, the “Quarterly Vest Options”; and grant of options to purchase up to 2,399,999 shares of our Class A common stock which options vest in installments upon the achievement of specified milestones, which include the following, the “Contingent Options”:

In addition, in the event that Mr. Yip’s death or disability is tangibly related to the performance of the duties by Mr. Yip for us, then the Quarterly Vest Options shall accelerate and fully vest.

In the event a change of control of CDC Corporation occurs, and the agreement is terminated for a reason other than cause, Mr. Yip’s death or by APOL giving six (6) months advance notice of termination, then the Quarterly Vest Options and the Contingent Options shall accelerate and fully vest.

Under the terms of the agreement, we also agreed to reimburse APOL for Mr. Yip’s reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of his duties related to travel and entertaining, including duties performed on behalf of us, in accordance with the our internal policies.

B. Memorandum and Articles of Association

The following description of the terms and provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended, is qualified in its entirety by reference to such documents which are attached as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 20-F.

General

We are a Cayman Islands company and operate under the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2004 Revision), or the Companies Law. Our company number is No. CR-74277. Our corporate objectives and purpose are unrestricted.

Directors

A director may vote in respect of any contract or transaction in which he is interested provided that such director shall, if his interest in such contract or arrangement is material, declare the nature of his interest at the earliest meeting of our board at which it is practicable for him to do so, either specifically or by way of a general notice stating that, by reason of the facts specified in the notice, he is to be regarded as interested in any contracts of a specified description which may subsequently be made by us.

The directors may determine remuneration to be paid to the directors.

The directors may exercise all our powers to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and uncalled capital or any part thereof, to issue debentures, debenture stock and other securities whenever money is borrowed or as security for any of our debts, liabilities, or obligations or those of any third party.

There are no membership qualifications for directors. Further, there are no age limitations or retirement requirements and no share ownership qualifications for directors unless so fixed by shareholders in a general meeting.

Rights, Preferences and Restrictions of Ordinary Shares

Dividends. The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board. At our annual general meeting held on November 15, 2007 our shareholders approved an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to permit the board of directors, without the approval of shareholders, to declare and pay dividends of assets held by us.

Voting Rights. Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote on all matters upon which the ordinary shares are entitled to vote, including the election of directors. Voting at any meeting of shareholders is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded. A poll may be demanded by the Chairman or any other shareholder present in person or by proxy. The quorum required for a meeting of shareholders shall be members present in person or by proxy holding not less than one-third of the issued shares of the company entitled to vote at the meeting in question.

Directors are divided into three classes, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, all of which classes shall be as nearly equal in number as possible. Upon expiration of the term of office of each class, the directors in each class shall be elected for a term of three (3) years to succeed the directors whose terms of office expire. Each director shall hold office until the expiration of his term and until his successor shall

166

have been elected and qualified. The classification of our Board may have the effect of delaying the replacement of a majority of our directors and make changes to our board more difficult than if such provisions were not in place.

Profits. Our profits may be distributed to shareholders as dividends, as determined by our board.

Liquidation. On a return of capital on winding up or otherwise (other than on conversion, redemption or purchase of shares) assets available for distribution among the holders of ordinary shares shall be distributed among the holders of the ordinary shares pro rata. If the assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, the assets will be distributed so that the losses are borne by our shareholders proportionately.

Calls on Shares and Forfeiture of Shares. Our board may, from time to time, make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least fourteen (14) days prior to the specified time and place of payment. The shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.

Redemption of Shares. We may issue shares on the terms that they are, or at our option or at the option of the holders are, subject to redemption on such terms and in such manner as we may determine by special resolution.

Variations of Rights of Shares

If at any time the our share capital is divided into different classes of shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class of shares for the time being issued (unless otherwise provided for in the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, be varied or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than three-fourths in nominal value of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of shares of that class.

General Meetings of Shareholders

We are required to hold a general meeting each year in addition to any other meeting in that year and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it; and not more than 15 months shall elapse (or such longer period as NASDAQ may authorize) between the date of one annual general meeting of the Company and that of the next. The annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as our board shall appoint. All general meetings other than an annual general meeting shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

The Board may, at its discretion, convene an extraordinary general meeting.

General meetings shall also be convened on the written requisition of any two or more members of the Company deposited at the registered office specifying the objects of the meeting and signed by the requisitionists, provided that such requisitionists held as at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than one-tenth of our paid up capital which carries the right of voting at our general meetings. General meetings may also be convened on the written requisition of any one member of the Company which is a clearing house (or its nominee) deposited at our registered office specifying the objects of the meeting and signed by the requisitionist, provided that such requisitionist held as at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than one-tenth of our paid up capital which carries the right of voting at our general meetings. If the Board does not within 21 days from the date of deposit of the requisition proceed duly to convene the meeting, the requisitionist(s) themselves or any of them representing more than one-half of the total voting rights of all of them, may convene the general meeting in the same manner, as nearly as possible, as that in which meetings may be convened by the Board provided that any meeting so convened shall not be held after the expiration of three months from the date of deposit of the requisition, and all reasonable expenses incurred by the requisitionist(s) as a result of the failure of the Board shall be reimbursed to them by the Company.

An annual general meeting and any extraordinary general meeting called for the passing of a special resolution shall be called by not less than 21 days’ notice in writing and any other extraordinary general meeting shall be called by not less than 14 days’ notice in writing. The notice shall be exclusive of the day

167

on which it is served or deemed to be served and of the day for which it is given, and shall specify the time, place, and agenda of the meeting, particulars of the resolutions to be considered at the meeting and in the case of special business (as defined in Article 81 of our Amended and Restated Articles of Association) the general nature of that business. The notice convening an annual general meeting shall specify the meeting as such, and the notice convening a meeting to pass a special resolution shall specify the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution. Notice of every general meeting shall be given to:

(a) all members, other than those that, under the provisions hereof or the terms of issue of the shares they hold, are not entitled to receive such notice from us;

(b) the Auditors; and

(c) for so long as our shares are listed on the Exchange, the Exchange.

Notwithstanding that a meeting of the Company is called by shorter notice than that referred to in Article 76 of our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, it shall be deemed to have been duly called if it is so agreed:

(a) in the case of a meeting called as an annual general meeting, by all the members of the Company entitled to attend and vote thereat or their proxies; and

(b) in the case of any other meeting, by a majority in number of the members having a right to attend and vote at the meeting, being a majority together holding not less than 95% in nominal value of the shares giving that right.

There shall appear with reasonable prominence in every notice of our general meetings a statement that a member entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and, on a poll, vote instead of him and that a proxy need not be a member of the Company.

The accidental omission to give any such notice to, or the non-receipt of any such notice by, any person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate any resolution passed or any proceeding at any such meeting. In cases where instruments of proxy are sent out with notices, the accidental omission to send such instrument of proxy to, or the non-receipt of such instrument of proxy by, any person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate any resolution passed or any proceeding at any such meeting.

Limitations on the Right to Own Shares

There are no limitations on the right to own our shares.

Limitations on Transfer of Shares

There are no provisions in our restated memorandum or articles of association that would have an effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring.

Disclosure of Shareholder Ownership

There are no provisions in our Amended and Restated Articles and Memorandum of Association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

Changes in Capital

Subject to the provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles and Memorandum of Association and to any direction that may be given by us in a general meeting and without prejudice to any special rights conferred on the holders of any existing shares or attaching to any class of shares, any share including the Preferred Shares may be issued with or have attached thereto such preferred, deferred, qualified or other special rights or restrictions, whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise, and to such persons at such times and for such consideration as the Board may determine. We may, in a general meeting, from time to time, whether or not all the shares for the time being authorized shall have been issued and whether or not all the shares for the time being issued shall have been fully paid up, by ordinary resolution, increase our share capital by the creation of new shares, such new capital to be of such amount and to be divided into shares of such respective amounts as the resolution shall prescribe.

Inter-Company Promissory Note and Modification Agreement. In April 2008, CDC Games Corporation and China.com Capital Ltd., or CCL, a wholly owned subsidiary of China.com entered into a modification agreement for the purpose of: (i) extending the maturity date of a promissory note in the principal amount of $60.0 million by and between CDC Games and CCL from the initial maturity date of June 28, 2008 to June 28, 2010, and (ii) including us as a guarantor of the promissory note.

172

The effectiveness of the modification agreement was conditioned upon China.com obtaining the approval of its minority shareholders. At an extraordinary general meeting of China.com held on May 27, 2008, the minority shareholders, by way of poll, rejected the proposal to ratify the modification agreement. As a result, the modification agreement lapsed automatically and did not become effective.

In June 2008, we determined that the execution of the modification agreement had constituted an event of default as defined in those certain 3.75% Senior Exchangeable Convertible Notes due 2011 issued by us in November 2006 for the aggregate principal amount of $168.0 million, or the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes provide that, following an event of default, payment of all or a portion of any amounts due thereunder may be accelerated and become due and payable immediately upon delivery of a written notice of acceleration to us, unless such event of default shall have been cured by us prior to the delivery of such acceleration notice. Accordingly, for the period from April 2, 2008 (the date we entered into the modification agreement) through May 27, 2008 (the date upon which the minority shareholders disapproved of the modification agreement and it lapsed automatically, such lapse having cured the event of default), any or all of the Convertible Notes could have been called by the noteholders and become due and payable immediately. However, we did not receive any written acceleration notice from any of the noteholders during this period as required under the Convertible Notes. Therefore, the event of default that existed from April 2, 2008 through May 27, 2008 under the Convertible Notes has been fully cured, and under the express terms of the Convertible Notes none of the noteholders has any current or continuing right to deliver an acceleration notice to us as a result of those past events.

On June 27, 2008, China.com declared and paid a cash dividend to its shareholders in the aggregate amount of $74.1 million. Of such amount, approximately $57.5 million was paid to us and the remaining $16.6 million was paid to the independent minority shareholders of China.com. On June 27, 2008, we transferred an aggregate of $64.5 million to CDC Games. CDC Games subsequently paid CCL the entire balance of $64.5 million of principal and interest due and payable under the promissory note.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with some of our directors, officers and employees that may require us to indemnify them against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees, and to advance their expenses (including legal expenses) incurred as a result of any investigation, suit or other proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. Generally, the maximum obligation under such indemnifications is not explicitly stated and, as a result, the overall amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. If we were to incur a loss in connection with these arrangements, it could affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

D. Exchange Controls

General

There are no exchange control restrictions on payments of dividends on our Class A common shares or on the conduct of our operations in Hong Kong, where our principal executive offices are located, or the Cayman Islands, where CDC is incorporated. In addition, both Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands are not party to any double tax treaties and no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions exist in these countries.

We are a Cayman Islands company and our affairs are governed by, among other things, the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands. The following is a summary of material differences between the Companies Law and general corporate law in the United States insofar as they relate to the material terms of our Class A common shares.

173

Differences in Corporate Law

The Companies Law is modeled after similar laws in the United Kingdom but does not follow recent changes in English law. In addition, the Companies Law differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Law applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the State of Delaware.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements. Cayman Islands law does not provide for mergers as that expression is understood under the Delaware General Corporations Law, or DGCL. However, there are statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies, provided that the arrangement in question is approved by a majority in number of each class of shareholders and creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made, and who must in addition represent three-fourths in value of each such class of shareholders or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder would have the right to express to the court the view that the transaction should not be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

• the company is not proposing to act illegally or beyond the scope of its authority and the statutory provisions as to majority vote have been complied with;

• the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question;

• the arrangement is such as a businessman would reasonably approve; and

• the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Law or that would amount to a “fraud on the minority.”

When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection may be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but is unlikely to succeed unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

If the arrangement and reconstruction are thus approved, any dissenting shareholders would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

Shareholders’ Suits. We are not aware of any reported class action or derivative action having been brought in a Cayman Islands court which have not been withdrawn. In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff and a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, exceptions to the foregoing principle apply in circumstances in which:

• a company is acting or proposing to act illegally or beyond the scope of its authority;

• the act complained of, although not beyond the scope of its authority, could be effected duly if authorized by more than a simple majority vote that has not been obtained; and

• those who control our company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

Corporate Governance. Cayman Islands laws do not restrict transactions with directors, requiring only that directors exercise a duty of care and owe a fiduciary duty to the companies for which they serve.

174

Under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, subject to the separate requirement for audit committee approval under the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Global Market or unless disqualified by the chairman of the relevant board meeting, so long as a director discloses the nature of his interest in any contract or arrangement that he is interested in, such a director may vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement in which such director is interested and may be counted in the quorum at such meeting.

Inspection of Corporate Records. Shareholders of a Cayman Islands company have no general right under the Companies Law to inspect or obtain copies of a list of shareholders or other corporate records of the company. In comparison, under Delaware law, shareholders have the right to inspect for any proper purpose, and to obtain copies of list(s) of shareholders and other books and records of the corporation and any subsidiaries to the extent the books and records of such subsidiaries are available to the corporation.

Calling of Special Shareholders Meetings. The Companies Law does not provide shareholders with any right to requisition a general meeting and does not have provisions governing the proceedings of shareholders meetings. In comparison, under Delaware law a special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

Bringing Business Before a Meeting. The Companies Law does not provide shareholders with any right to bring business before a meeting or requisition a general meeting. In comparison, under Delaware law a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided that it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents.

Proxy materials

Under Cayman Islands law, we are only obligated to send proxy materials to “members” which is equivalent to the registered shareholders of record. Our proxy materials are delivered to all of our registered shareholders. We offer electronic delivery of proxy materials to our registered shareholders, and we mail proxy materials to each registered owner who has not opted to receive proxy materials electronically. In an effort to maintain cost effectiveness, we have, and will continue to, mail the proxy materials to those beneficial shareholders who hold greater than 10,000 of our shares.

Restrictions on Nonresident or Foreign Shareholders

Under Cayman Islands law there are no limitations on the rights of nonresident or foreign shareholders to hold or vote our Class A common shares.

E. Taxation

The following is a summary of the material Cayman Islands and United States Federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Class A common shares based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this Annual Report, all of which are subject to change. This summary does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in the Class A common shares, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. You are urged to consult a tax advisor regarding the tax treatment of our common shares.

Cayman Islands Taxation

The Cayman Islands currently levy no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or after execution brought within the jurisdiction of, the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands are not party to any double taxation treaties. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

United States Federal Income Taxation

The following summary sets forth certain material United States Federal income tax consequences

175

of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Class A common shares as a capital asset. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, and court decisions, all in effect as of the date of this Annual Report, all of which authorities are subject to change or differing interpretations, which changes or differing interpretations could apply retroactively. This summary does not purport to discuss all aspects of U.S. Federal income tax which may be relevant to particular investors, such as financial institutions, insurance companies, dealers or traders in securities or currencies, regulated investment companies, tax-exempt entities, U.S. holders, as defined below, liable for alternative minimum tax, persons holding Class A common shares as part of a position in a straddle or as part of a hedging transaction or conversion transaction for U.S. tax purposes, persons that enter into a constructive sale transaction with respect to Class A common shares, persons holding 10% or more of our voting shares or U.S. holders whose functional currency as defined in Section 985 of the Code is not the U.S. dollar. In addition, this summary does not discuss any foreign, state or local tax considerations. This summary only applies to original purchasers of Class A common shares who purchase Class A common shares as capital assets, or property held for investment within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code.

The term U.S. holder means a beneficial owner of a note or Class A common shares who or which is:

• a citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation or partnership created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision of the United States;

• an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. Federal income tax regardless of source;

• a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or the trust elects under U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person; or

• any other person who is subject to U.S. Federal income taxation on a net income basis with respect to a Class A common share.

Partners of a partnership holding Class A common shares should consult their tax advisor.

Tax Consequences of U.S. Holders

Dividends

Subject to the discussion in Passive Foreign Investment Company Status below, in the event that a U.S. holder receives a distribution, other than pro rata distributions of Class A common shares or rights with respect to Class A common shares, on the Class A common shares, that U.S. holder will be required to include the distribution in gross income as a taxable dividend to the extent such distribution is paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined for United States Federal income tax purposes. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will first be treated, for United States Federal income tax purposes, as a nontaxable return on capital to the extent of the U.S. holder’s basis in the Class A common shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset. Dividends paid by us will not be eligible for the corporate dividends received deduction. The amount of any distribution of property other than cash will be the fair market value of such property on the date of distribution. Since inception, we have not declared or paid any cash dividends.

Dividends will constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends distributed by us with respect to Class A common shares will be passive income or, in the case of U.S. holders, financial services income. Special rules apply to individuals whose foreign source income during the taxable year consists entirely of qualified passive income and whose creditable foreign taxes paid or accrued during the taxable year do not exceed $300 or $600 in the case of a joint return. Further, in particular circumstances, a U.S. holder that:

• has held Class A common shares for less than a specified minimum period during which it is not protected from risk of loss;

176

• is obligated to make payments related to the dividends; or

• holds Class A common shares in arrangements in which the U.S. holder’s expected economic profit, after non-U.S. taxes, is insubstantial,

will not be allowed a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed on dividends paid on Class A common shares.

Distributions to a U.S. holder of Class A common shares or rights to subscribe for Class A common shares that are received as part of a pro rata distribution to all our shareholders should not be subject to United States Federal income tax. The basis of the new Class A common shares or rights so received will be determined by allocating the U.S. holder’s basis in the old Class A common shares between the old Class A common shares and the new Class A common shares or rights received, based on their relative fair market values on the date of distribution. However, the basis of the rights will be zero if (i) the fair market value of the rights is less than 15% of the fair market value of the old Class A common shares at the time of distribution or (ii) the rights are not exercised and expire.

Dispositions of Shares

Subject to the discussion in Passive Foreign Investment Company Status below, gain or loss realized by a U.S. holder on the sale or other disposition of the Class A common shares will be subject to United States Federal income tax as capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between that U.S. holder’s basis in the Class A common shares and the amount realized on the disposition. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the Class A common shares for more than one year at the time of the sale or exchange. Generally, gain or loss realized by a U.S. holder will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Status

In General. We do not believe that we should be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our taxable year ended December 31, 2007, based upon our analysis of: (1) our assets held at the end of each quarter of our taxable year ending December 31, 2007, and (2) our income for our taxable year ended December 31, 2007. However, the PFIC determination is inherently factual and there is limited guidance regarding the application of the PFIC rules. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not successfully contend, or that a court would not otherwise conclude, that we are a PFIC. Accordingly, prospective investors are strongly urged to consult with their tax advisor as to the effects of the PFIC rules.

Further, the PFIC determination is made annually, and therefore may be subject to change in future years. Thus, we can provide no assurance that we will not be classified as a PFIC in 2008 and beyond. However, we will take steps to reduce the possibility of being a PFIC for 2008 and beyond. The determination of whether we would become a PFIC in a future tax year would be principally based upon:

• the composition of our assets, including goodwill, the amount of which will depend, in part, on our total net assets and the market value of our Treasury portfolio, which is subject to change; and

• the amount and nature of our income over the course of the year.

We have limited control over these variables. To the extent we do have control over these variables, we may take steps to reduce the possibility of being a PFIC.

In general, we will be a PFIC with respect to a U.S. holder for any taxable year during the U.S. holding period in which:

• at least 75% of our gross income for such taxable year is passive income; or

177

• at least 50% of our gross assets, measured by value on a quarterly average basis, produce or are held for the production of passive income.

For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents, royalties, other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business, annuities, gains from assets that produce passive income, net income from notional principal contracts and certain payments with respect to securities loans. In addition, if we own, directly or indirectly, at least 25% by value of the stock of another foreign corporation, we will be treated as owning a proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and as receiving directly a proportionate share of the other corporation’s income.

Notwithstanding the general PFIC income and asset tests stated above, if we are a PFIC for any year during a U.S. holder’s holding period and the U.S. holder does not make a valid mark-to-market or qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election with respect to such year, we will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such a U.S. holder in subsequent years even if we do not qualify as a PFIC in such years under the income or asset tests (the “once a PFIC, always a PFIC” rule). However, it may be possible for any such U.S. holder to remove the PFIC “taint” on the U.S. holder’s Class A common shares by making one or more “purging” elections provided for in the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder.

If we are a PFIC in any year, you will be required to make an annual return on Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form 8621 regarding distributions received with respect to the Class A common shares and any gain realized on the disposition of the Class A common shares, as well as income inclusions in connection with a mark-to-market election or QEF election (if applicable) with respect to such shares.

If we are a PFIC in any year, upon the death of any U.S. holder of Class A common shares, such individual’s heirs or estate would not be entitled to a “step-up” in the basis of their Class A common shares that might otherwise be available under U.S. federal income tax laws.

Certain subsidiaries of CDC Corporation may qualify as PFICs. Under certain circumstances, a U.S. holder of Class A common shares may be treated as owning stock in such lower-tier PFICs, in which case the U.S. holder would need to separately take into account its indirect investment in such entity under the PFIC rules, including the filing requirements noted above. See “Indirect Interests in PFICs” below for a discussion of the application of PFIC rules in such circumstances.

Excess Distribution Regime. If we are a PFIC for any taxable year in a U.S. holder’s holding period and that U.S. holder does not have a valid mark-to-market or QEF election in place for such year (see “Mark-to-Market Election” and “Qualified Electing Fund Election” sections below), that U.S. holder is subject to special rules applicable to “excess distributions” for that taxable year (the “excess distribution regime”). In addition, that U.S. holder will be subject to excess distribution rules for all subsequent years in the U.S. holder’s holding period, regardless of whether the company continues to qualify as a PFIC (under the “once a PFIC, always a PFIC” rule), unless the U.S. holder makes a QEF election (in connection with a “purging” election noted above), or a mark-to-market election, with respect to the U.S. holder’s Class A common shares. In general, the excess distribution rules apply to:

• any “excess distribution” by us to the U.S. holder, which means any distributions, possibly including any return of capital distributions, received by the U.S. holder on the Class A common shares in a taxable year, to the extent such distribution is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by the U.S. holder in the three preceding taxable years, or the U.S. holder’s holding period for the Class A common shares, if shorter; and

• any gain realized on the sale or other disposition, including a pledge, of Class A common shares.

In general, under these special tax rules:

• the excess distribution or gain is allocated ratably over the U.S. holder’s holding period for the Class A common shares;

178

• the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC is treated as ordinary income;

• the amount allocated to each of the other years (i.e., years in which we were a PFIC) would be taxed as ordinary income at the highest tax rate in effect for that year; and

• the interest charge applicable to underpayments of tax would be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each prior year in which we were a PFIC.

Mark-to-Market Election. As an alternative to the excess distribution regime, a U.S. holder may elect to mark-to-market our Class A common shares that constitute “marketable stock” under the regulations. If the election is made, the U.S. holder would be required to include as ordinary income the amount of any increase in the market value of the Class A common shares since the close of the preceding taxable year, or the beginning of the U.S. holder’s holding period, if such holding period began during the taxable year. Likewise, the U.S. holder would be allowed an ordinary deduction for the amount of any decrease in the market value of the Class A common shares since the close of the preceding taxable year, subject to certain limitations. In general, the U.S. holder can deduct only the lesser of: (1) the amount by which the stock’s adjusted basis exceeds its fair market value on the last day of the U.S. holder’s taxable year, or (2) the excess of the mark-to-market gain included in prior taxable years over the amount allowed as a deduction in prior taxable years (the “unreversed inclusions”). The U.S. holder’s basis in our Class A common shares is increased by the amount of any ordinary income, and reduced by the amount of any deduction, arising under the mark-to-market election. In the case of a sale or other disposition of Class A common shares as to which a mark-to-market election is in effect, any gain realized on the sale or other disposition is treated as ordinary income. Any loss realized on the sale or other disposition is treated as an ordinary deduction, up to the amount of the unreversed inclusions attributable to such stock. To the extent the loss exceeds the unreversed inclusions, it will be subject to the rules generally applicable to losses provided elsewhere in the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder. We expect that the Class A common shares to be marketable within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations. See “Indirect Interests in PFICs” below for information regarding the availability of mark-to-market elections with respect to indirect interests in PFICs.

Qualified Electing Fund Election. As a second alternative to the excess distribution regime, a U.S. holder can make a QEF election to include currently in income that U.S. holder’s pro rata share of a PFIC’s earnings and net capital gains each year, regardless of whether or not dividend distributions are actually distributed. This means a U.S. holder could have a tax liability for the earnings or gain without a corresponding receipt of cash (however, an election is available to defer income recognition in certain circumstances). In general, the U.S. holder’s basis in the Class A common shares is increased to reflect the amount of the taxed but undistributed income, and distributions of previously taxed income are not taxed but result in a corresponding reduction of the U.S. holder’s basis in the Class A common shares. Losses do not flow up to a U.S. holder of Class A common shares for which a QEF election has been made.

Each U.S. holder who desires QEF treatment must separately make a QEF election. In general, the first U.S. person in a chain of ownership may make the QEF election. For example, a U.S. partnership makes the QEF election on behalf of its U.S. partners. To avoid the excess distribution rules, the election must be made beginning with the first year in the U.S. holder’s holding period in which the company qualifies as a PFIC (see the discussion of the “once a PFIC, always a PFIC” rule above). To make a QEF election you will need to have an annual information statement from the PFIC setting forth the earnings and capital gains for the year. We will make our 2006 PFIC annual information statement and other PFIC-related information available upon request. Any such information provided upon request does not constitute a part of this Annual Report.

In general, a U.S. holder must make a QEF election on or before the due date for filing its income tax return, including extensions (but not on an amended return), for the year to which the QEF election will apply. However, U.S. holders are permitted to make retroactive elections in certain circumstances. Investors should consult their tax advisors as to the circumstances under which a QEF election can be made and the consequences of making a QEF election. See “Indirect Interests in PFICs” below for information regarding the availability of QEF elections with respect to indirect interests in PFICs.

179

Indirect Interests in PFICs. In certain circumstances, a U.S. holder of Class A common stock may be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to subsidiaries of CDC Corporation, or other foreign corporations in which CDC Corporation directly or indirectly invests, that separately qualify as PFICs. In this regard, the PFIC rules generally treat a shareholder of a first-tier foreign corporation as if it owned stock of lower-tier corporations directly or indirectly owned by such first-tier foreign corporation if certain ownership tests are met. If the first-tier foreign corporation does not qualify as a PFIC, a shareholder of such corporation is treated as owning stock of lower-tier subsidiaries of such corporation only if such shareholder owns at least 50% of the value of the first-tier corporation’s stock. However, if the first-tier foreign corporation qualifies as a PFIC, a shareholder of such corporation is treated as owning stock of any subsidiary directly owned by such first-tier foreign corporation in proportion to the value of such shareholder’s interest in such first-tier foreign corporation. The ownership attribution rules are applied successively through tiers of ownership, including through pass-through entities such as partnerships. Thus, for example, a shareholder of the first-tier foreign corporation could be treated as owning stock in a third-tier foreign corporation, depending upon the respective ownership percentages in the chain of ownership.

The rules applicable to such indirect investments in foreign entities are complex. In general, the excess distribution rules may treat an indirect shareholder of PFIC stock as (1) recognizing income with respect to distributions on such PFIC stock to the actual owner of such stock, and (2) as recognizing gain with respect to the disposition of such PFIC stock by the actual owner of such stock, or the disposition of the interest in the actual owner (or any other intermediate entity) through which the indirect shareholder is treated as owning stock in the PFIC.

In addition, mark to market elections generally are not available with respect to interests in lower-tier PFICs that are owned indirectly through one or more foreign corporations. However, QEF elections generally are permitted for interests in lower tier PFICs. U.S. holders that are treated as owning lower-tier PFICs are required to make a separate QEF election for each such PFIC if they want to treat it as a QEF. As discussed above, making a QEF election requires that the PFIC supply certain information to the shareholder. There can be no assurance that any such lower-tier PFIC would provide U.S. holders the necessary information to make the QEF election. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the consequences of the indirect acquisition, ownership and disposition of interests in PFICs.

Although we generally will be treated as a PFIC as to any U.S. holder if we are a PFIC for any year during a U.S. holder’s holding period, if we cease to satisfy the requirements for PFIC classification, you may avoid such classification for years after such cessation if (1) you have made a QEF election in the first taxable year in which you own the Class A common shares, or (2) you elect to recognize gain based on the realized appreciation in the Class A common shares through the close of the tax year in which we cease to be a PFIC.

We have made our 2005, 2006 and 2007 PFIC annual information statements and other PFIC-related information available under a link entitled “Tax Information” under the “Investor Relations” section on our corporate website which you may access at . Information contained on our website does not constitute a part of this Annual Report.

Transfer Reporting Requirements

Under recently promulgated regulations, a U.S. holder, including a tax exempt entity, that purchases Class A common shares for cash will be required to file an IRS Form 926 or similar form with the IRS, if (1) the U.S. holder owned, directly or by attribution, immediately after the transfer at least 10% by vote or value of us, or (2) the purchase, when aggregated with all purchases made by that U.S. holder, or any related person thereto, within the preceding 12 month period, exceeds $0.1 million. If a U.S. holder fails to file any such required form, the U.S. holder could be required to pay a penalty equal to 10% of the gross amount paid for the Class A common shares, subject to a maximum penalty of $0.1 million, except in cases involving intentional disregard. You should consult your tax advisors with respect to this or any other reporting requirement which may apply with respect to their acquisition of the Class A common shares.

180

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

The relevant paying agents for the shares must comply with information reporting requirements in connection with dividend payments or other taxable distributions made within the U.S. on the Class A common shares to a non-corporate U.S. person. In addition, “backup withholding” at the rate of 31% generally will apply to those payments unless the beneficial owner provides an accurate taxpayer identification number on a properly completed IRS Form W-9, certifies its non-U.S. status under penalties of perjury on a properly completely IRS Form W-8BEN, or otherwise certifies that the beneficial owner is not subject to backup withholding.

Payment of the proceeds from sale of the Class A common shares to or through a U.S. office of a broker is subject to both U.S. backup withholding and information reporting requirements, unless the beneficial owner provides an accurate taxpayer identification number or establishes an exemption from backup withholding, as described in the preceding paragraph. In general, neither U.S. backup withholding nor information reporting will apply to a payment of sale proceeds made outside the U.S. through an office outside the U.S. of a non-U.S. broker. Special rules may require information reporting in the case of payments of sale proceeds made outside the U.S. through a U.S. broker.

Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be credited against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and a holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

For a listing of our material subsidiaries, see Item 4.C – “Information on the Company – Organizational Structure.”

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

You should read the following discussion of our Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk together with our financial condition and results of operations as set forth in Item 5 of this Annual Report, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects and with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Market risk is the risk related to adverse changes in market prices of financial instruments. We are exposed to various types of market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, in the normal course of business. In addition, we are exposed to investment risks due to our substantial investment holdings of available-for-sale debt securities. Our market risk exposure categories at December 31, 2007 are the same as the categories at December 31, 2006. Our quantitative exposures within those categories at December 31, 2007 have decreased from the exposures at December 31, 2006. Certain risks (namely, interest rate and credit risk) have also decreased due to lower balances of securities in 2007. The amount of the carrying value on our “available for sale” investments is the same as the fair value because we have marked our investments to market at the end of the period (through Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income when gains/losses are deemed to be temporary and through the Income Statement when losses are deemed to be other than temporary). Investments that are held to maturity are stated at their original cost and gains/losses are not recognized in the Income Statement until they are realized.

Interest Rate Risk. Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our short-term and long-term available-for-sale debt securities. We are most vulnerable to changes in short-term U.S. interest rates. In general, when interest rates change, the price of a fixed-coupon bond changes in the opposite direction. Thus, when interest rates increase, a bond’s value drops. If we were to sell securities under such adverse interest rate conditions, we could lose some of our principal. Historically, the fluctuation in value of our debt portfolio has not exceeded 5% although there can be no guarantee that our portfolio will not undergo greater fluctuations in the future.

As of December 31, 2006 and 2007, we had invested $153.4 million and $153.4 million, respectively, in fixed and variable rate debt securities which are denominated in US dollars. At December 31, 2006, our debt securities balances included $30.5 million of restricted debt securities set aside as collateral pursuant to $18.7 million in drawdowns under our credit and repurchase facilities. At December 31, 2007, our debt securities balances included $30.9 million of restricted debt securities set aside as collateral pursuant to $30.0 million in drawdowns under our credit and repurchase facilities.

The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2007 about our debt security investments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates:

Foreign Exchange Risk. Most of our monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros, Hong Kong dollars, RMB, and U.S. dollars. We do not use derivatives to hedge against foreign currency fluctuations. As exchange rates in these currencies vary, our revenues and operating results, when translated, may be adversely impacted and vary from expectations. The effect of

182

foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2007 was not material. All of our debt securities are US-dollar denominated and therefore not subject to foreign currency risk. However, as long as we continue to rely on US-dollar denominated interest income for a significant portion of our cash flows and use this to support our operations, any material depreciation of the U.S. dollar against currencies of the countries where we have operations might have a negative effect on our cash flows.

The PRC Renminbi, or RMB, is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. On January 1, 1994, the PRC government abolished the dual rate system and introduced a single rate of exchange as quoted daily by the People’s Bank of China. However, the unification of the exchange rates does not imply the convertibility of RMB into United States dollars or other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the People’s Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.

Credit Default and Investment Risk. When we purchase debt securities as part of our treasury management program, we are subject to risks that can reduce the value of our investments. The primary factors that can cause significant fluctuations or a decline in the fair market value of our investments include:

• the issuer’s actual or perceived credit quality;

• increased writedowns for goodwill or intangible assets;

• declining revenues or earnings that fall short of expectations; and

• inability to comply with financial instrument covenants.

These and other indicators could reduce the value of our investments due to:

• reduced liquidity;

• ratings downgrades, or a negative outlook by credit agencies;

• a decline in the price of an issuer’s equity or debt securities; or

• an issuer being placed on CreditWatch.

While all of our current investments in debt securities are believed to be investment grade, there can be no assurance that the issuers of those securities will not default on their obligations or their ratings will remain investment grade. A debt security may remain an investment grade instrument, but events such as those listed above could cause the value of that debt security to decline. In such an instance, we would suffer either an actual loss if we sell the debt security, a mark to market loss in the statement of operations if the decline in fair market value is deemed to be other-than-temporary, or a loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss if the decline is not other-than-temporary. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we recorded approximately $2.2 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the shareholder’s equity account in our consolidated balance sheet as a result of declines in value.

We are exposed to the risk of default by the issuers of our debt securities. We can quantify the risk by dividing our debt securities portfolio into the four primary risk categories based on the Standard and Poor’s credit ratings of the debt issuers as of December 31, 2007. Even if an issuer did not default, but the market perceives an increased likelihood of a default, we may suffer a principal loss if we sell a debt security of such issuer under unfavorable market circumstances. The table below sets forth the value of our debt securities as of December 31, 2006 and 2007 as categorized based on ratings assigned to our debt securities by each of Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service.

Rating (Standard & Poor’s) Rating (Moody’s Investors Service)	AAA Aaa	AA Aa2	A A2	BBB Baa2	Total
	(in millions of U.S. dollars)

Moody’s Investors Service	74.6	—	—	—	74.6
Standard & Poor’s	74.6	—	—	—	74.6

Reinvestment Risk/Call Risk. If interest rates decrease, it is possible that issuers of debt securities with the right to call such instruments might exercise their right to call, or exercise the right to buy back their debt at predetermined dates prior to their maturity date at a predetermined price. If this were to happen our portfolio yield could potentially decrease as we might have to reinvest proceeds at lower interest rates. In addition, the cash flows associated with callable bonds are somewhat unpredictable, since the bond life could be much shorter than it’s stated maturity.

Illiquidity and Market Value Volatility Risk (CDO Specific). The preference shares of a CDO investment should be viewed as a longer term investment, not a trading vehicle. There can be no assurance of a liquid secondary market for our CDO investments. Our investment in preference shares could be particularly exposed to both liquidity and market value volatility risk if a CDO is required to liquidate assets (such as in connection with an optional redemption, auction call redemption, mandatory redemption or a liquidation of the portfolio following an event of default) and is forced to accept sales prices less than those paid for the assets or less than what the collateral manager may consider to be their fair value. The collateral consists primarily of securities not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and should be considered illiquid. As a result, should a default or event of default occur under the CDO Indenture which would permit or require liquidation of the collateral, there is no assurance that a ready market will exist for the collateral and the proceeds of such sale may not be sufficient to repay the preference shares in full.

Prepayment Risk (CDO Specific). The amount and frequency of payments of amounts due to the holders of preference shares in a CDO investment will depend on, among other things, the level of LIBOR, treasury yields and spreads, returns with respect to eligible investments, the extent to which portfolio collateral becomes defaulted portfolio collateral and scheduled payments of principal or retirement prior to the stated maturity of the underlying collateral through mandatory or optional redemption, sale, maturity or other liquidation or disposition. In addition, the redemption (upon a mandatory redemption) or other payment of principal of the underlying collateral, which will depend in part on the foregoing factors, will result in reduced leverage and may affect the yield to holders of the preference shares.

Default and Yield Risk (CDO Specific). Preference shares in a CDO investment typically bear the risk of loss or other shortfalls prior to any classes of securities which are senior to them, and as a consequence are extremely sensitive to the delinquency and loss performance of the underlying assets. Any such losses and other shortfalls with respect to the collateral will be borne first by the holders of the preference shares and then by the holders of the most junior class of notes then outstanding. Further, the rate at which principal payments will be received on the securities will be dependent on the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the underlying assets and may fluctuate significantly over time. Such fluctuations will affect the yield to the issuer, as holder of such securities. The entities housing the CDO investments are VIEs, however, as our ownership in each does not constitute a primary beneficiary interest, we have not consolidated either entity.

Risks Related to the Collateralized Line of Credits. We have a collateralized credit facility in place with Standard Chartered Bank. As of December 31, 2007, we have a balance outstanding on this line of credit of $30.0 million. This credit facility creates the following three primary risks for us:

184

• The risk associated with increased leverage, which includes our ability to pay back the borrowed funds in a timely manner and without which we may need to liquidate a portion of our debt security portfolio at a time where we may need to incur losses on the sale of sufficient debt instruments to repay the borrowing.

• By setting aside debt securities as collateralized credit facility under our repurchase facilities, we incur the risk that if the credit facilities themselves were to undergo an insolvency event, we could lose all or part of our debt securities set aside at such time with the bank. Currently, Standard Chartered Bank Aa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, and Standard Chartered Bank’s credit rating is A by Standard & Poor’s and A2 by Moody’s Investors Service.

• The interest that we pay under our repurchase facilities is dependent upon LIBOR and therefore, our future interest expenses with respect to any amounts drawn down under the repurchase facilities may exceed our expectations due to changes in interest rates. For example, if LIBOR rises rapidly over the next few years, interest expenses will rise, as well.

Negative Interest Rate Differential. When purchasing debt securities using proceeds from our repurchase facilities, we expect the coupon paid on these debt securities will be higher than the interest we pay on our repurchase facilities. However, we will be exposed to the risk of a negative interest rate differential, or negative carry situation, if interest rates rise. For example, if on the day of a drawdown current LIBOR is 1.2%, and our cost of borrowing is LIBOR plus 0.2%, our total cost of borrowing will be 1.4%. Since the interest rate on our repurchase facilities are reset either every three, six or twelve months as we so choose prior to each drawdown, assuming we use the proceeds from our repurchase facilities to purchase a fixed-rate coupon bond yielding 2.3% and a 1.0% increase in LIBOR occurs, our total borrowing cost on the facility would increase to 2.4%.

Equity Price Risk

As of December 31, 2007, we had $3.9 million invested in shares of publicly listed companies. The table below presents the carrying amounts and fair values of our investment in shares of publicly listed companies, which are held for non-trading purposes. The amount of the carrying value is the same as the fair value, because we have marked to market the carrying amount of our investments as at the end of the period.

ITEM 14. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In November 2006, we issued $168 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% senior exchangeable convertible notes due 2011 to a total of 12 institutional accredited investors in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

In connection with our issuance of the notes, we are subject to various negative covenants until the earlier of the date that less than 25% of the notes remain outstanding or in the event that a public offering by CDC Software or CDC Games has occurred, the three-year anniversary of the issue date. We agreed that we will not incur any debt other than permitted debt unless after giving effect to such debt:

• the leverage ratio is less than 6.0 to 1 as reflected in our consolidated financial statements for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters;

• our aggregate debt does not exceed 50% of our total capitalization on a consolidated basis as reflected in our consolidated financial statements for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters; or

• our consolidated cash flow exceeds two times the sum of consolidated interest expense and capital expenditures during the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters.

We also may not create, assume or incur any mortgage, pledge lien, or other security interest except for certain permitted liens, which include existing liens, intracompany liens, liens over assets of CDC Software to secure a credit facility to CDC Software in an amount not exceeding $30 million, liens securing assets acquired or constructed after the closing to secure the cost of such acquisition or construction, provided such liens do not exceed 80% of the fair market value of the asset, or any lien resulting from renewing extending or replacing a lien.

Pursuant to the negative covenants we are also not permitted to pay dividends to our common shareholders (other than dividends of our common shares) or repurchase any shares of our capital stock or any of our subsidiaries, provided, however, that we may purchase voting equity in any non-wholly owned subsidiary or make purchases pursuant to a stock repurchase program.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Act), as of the end of period covered by this report. Management concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective primarily because of the identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, our disclosure controls and procedures not relating to internal control over financial reporting were not sufficiently documented and were not designed to require all accounting and financial employees, and other corporate employees with specific knowledge of, or responsibility for, other disclosures to complete quarterly certifications (management representations).

Based on a number of factors, including our internal review that identified revisions to our previously issued financial statements, efforts to remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over

186

financial reporting described below, and the performance of additional procedures by management designed to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting, we believe that the consolidated financial statements in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods, presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

We have reviewed and implemented additional disclosure controls and procedures. We intend to implement an enhanced quarterly certification (management representation) process that is expected to include not just the signoff by executive management and the business unit executives, but also by managers of the corporate finance departments, senior leadership at the corporate office and other business and finance employees who are significantly involved in the financial reporting process. These new processes is expected to help ensure Company employees at various levels make full and complete representations concerning, and assume accountability for, the accuracy and integrity of our financial statements and other public disclosures.

Attached as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 20-F are certifications of our CEO and CFO, which are required by Rule 13a-14 of the Act. This Disclosure Controls and Procedures section includes information concerning management’s evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures referred to in those certifications and, as such, should be read in conjunction with the certifications of the CEO and CFO.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

CDC Corporation’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by CDC Corporation’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This includes those policies and procedures that:

• Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

• Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

• Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, utilizing the criteria described in the “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The objective of this assessment was to determine whether the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007. That assessment identified the following control deficiencies as of December 31, 2007, that constituted material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Financial Statement Close and Reporting

Management has concluded that a material weakness exists in documentation and procedures relating to the financial statement close process that result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Specific control deficiencies identified relating to the financial statement close process include:

• Lack of policy, procedures, and controls including review and approval procedures to ensure that financial statements for external purposes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles including periodic in-depth review of the proper application of generally accepted accounting principles to the specific facts and circumstances of each of our businesses;

187

• Lack of adequate controls and procedures to mitigate the risks associated with decentralized accounting operations and systems;

• Lack of adequate policies and procedures with respect to journal entries and account reconciliations, including insufficient supporting detail and inconsistent evidence of management review; and

• Lack of sufficient personnel with appropriate skills and experience to properly prepare journal entries and account reconciliations and to do so in a timely manner.

These control deficiencies related to the financial statement close process affect all of our significant accounts. As a result of these control deficiencies, management recorded material adjustments to the financial statements during the year ended December 31, 2007. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to the annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Income Taxes

Management has also concluded that a material weakness exists in accounting for income taxes that results in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Specific control deficiencies identified relating to the accounting for income tax process include:

• Lack of procedures and controls related to the preparation and review of the tax provision designed to ensure that our deferred tax provision and deferred tax asset and liability balances are accurate and determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; and

• Lack of sufficient personnel with appropriate skills and experience to properly account for income taxes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of the tax provision and deferred tax asset and liability balances that would result in a material misstatement to the annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Treasury Management

Management has concluded that a material weakness exists in the management of our investments and other treasury related activities that result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected. This limits our ability to effectively manage risk in the treasury/capital transactions component of our strategy and could result in unexpected losses and adjustments to the carrying value of investments and derivatives employed by us.

Specific control deficiencies identified relating to the treasury management process include a lack of sufficient personnel with appropriate skills and experience to adequately assess and monitor the accounting, economics, performance and risks related to complex treasury transactions.

188

The above material weakness resulted in the temporary event of default on our $168 million Convertible Notes as disclosed in Footnote 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Because of the material weaknesses described above, our management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the COSO. The attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm is included in Part III, Item 18. “Financial Statements” of this report under the captions entitled “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm”.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management has taken the following steps during 2007 to begin the remediation process:

• Hired a Chief Accounting Officer and additional accounting staff with the technical accounting skill to comply with generally accepted accounting principles.

• Increased accounting resources in November 2007 to assist the accounting group in beginning the remediation process on the material control weaknesses noted above and to improve the timeliness and quality of account reconciliations in preparation for the year end reporting process.

• Redesigned the account reconciliation process has been redesigned to provide better support for account balances and to ensure all significant accounts are reconciled as a part of the year end close process.

• Increased detailed reviews of account balances with additional accounting staff to compensate for the control weaknesses identified.

• Improved our consolidation process to help ensure complete and accurate accounting for all entities.

Remediation activities are underway but have not been fully implemented.

Remediation Steps to Address Material Weaknesses

Our executive, regional and financial management are committed to achieving and maintaining a strong control environment. In addition, management remains committed to the process of developing and implementing improved corporate governance and compliance initiatives. Our management team has been actively working on remediation efforts, as discussed above, to address the material weaknesses, as well as other identified areas of risk. In 2008, we have taken the following additional steps to remediate our material weaknesses:

• Hired a Vice President of Tax.

• Assigned acting Treasurer duties to lead finance person located in Hong Kong.

Management has applied the above remediation steps and incorporated substantive review procedures during the year end financial statement close process to compensate for the control weaknesses relating to reporting the financial results as of December 31, 2007.

Prospectively, the company intends to undertake further efforts to remediate the control weaknesses identified, including:

189

• We are in the process of developing, and/or clarifying existing accounting policies related to estimates involving significant management judgments, as well as other financial reporting areas. The new policies are intended to focus on ensuring appropriate review and approval, define minimum documentation requirements, establish objective guidelines to minimize the degree of judgment in the determination of certain accruals, enforce consistent reporting practices, and enable effective account reconciliation, trend analyses, and exception reporting capabilities.

• We plan to hire additional tax personnel and a full time treasurer to help address the material weakness in these areas.

• We plan to make further additions to our accounting staff to allow for an improved process of month end account reconciliations that includes a more timely reconciliation processes with enhanced review processes of significant accounts and accounting entries including income taxes.

• We plan to complete the consolidation of our entities into geographical centers to leverage our technical accounting resources and to reduce the complexity in our month end consolidation process by eliminating duplicative accounting processes and to leverage the use of a common general ledger and financial reporting system.

• We are planning to have our regional controllers take the following steps to improve internal control over financial reporting:

• Conducting reviews of accounting processes to incorporate technology improvements to strengthen the design and operation of controls;

• Formalizing the process, analytics, and documentation around the monthly analysis of actual results against budgets and forecasts conducted within the accounting and finance departments;

• Improving quality control reviews within the accounting function to ensure account analyses and reconciliations are completed accurately, timely, and with proper management review; and

• Formalizing and expanding the documentation of our procedures for review and oversight of financial reporting.

We intend to continue to monitor our internal controls and our progress on the remediation steps identified above and, if further improvements or enhancements are identified, take steps to implement such improvement or enhancements.

We believe the measures described above, once designed and operating effectively, will remediate the material weaknesses we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will diligently and vigorously review our financial reporting controls and procedures. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may determine to take additional remediation measures or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures described above.

Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls

Our system of controls is designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability and integrity of accounting and financial reporting. Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. These inherent limitations include the following:

• Judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and control and process breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes.

190

• Controls can be circumvented by individuals, acting alone or in collusion with each other, or by management override.

• The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

• Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures.

• The design of a control system must reflect the fact that resources are constrained, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

CDC Corporation

We have audited CDC Corporation and subsidiaries' (the "Company's") internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on that risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely

F-2

basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment: (1) lack of adequate policies, procedures, documentation and personnel in certain aspects of the financial statement close and reporting Process, (2) inadequate personnel and procedures in the preparation and review of the income tax provision and related deferred tax balances and (3) insufficient personnel with appropriate skills and experience to adequately assess and monitor the accounting, economics, performance and risks related to complex treasury transactions. These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, of the Company and this report does not affect our report on such consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses identified above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007, of the Company and our report dated June 30, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and included explanatory paragraphs regarding the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share Based Payment” and the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

CDC Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CDC Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. The financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CDC Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Notes 2 and 19, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R), “Share Based Payment,” effective January 1, 2006.

As discussed in Notes 2 and 15, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2007.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated June 30, 2008 expressed an adverse opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting because of three material weaknesses.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

CDC Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity of CDC Corporation and subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the consolidated financial statements of China.com Inc., an 81% owned subsidiary, and its subsidiaries for the period ended December 31, 2005 which statements reflect total revenue constituting 17.7% of the related 2005 consolidated total. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for China.com Inc. and its subsidiaries, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

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

In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated results of operations of CDC Corporation and subsidiaries and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

As more fully described in Note 2, the Company restated its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of China.com Inc.:

We have audited the consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income of China.com and subsidiaries (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and the cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005 of the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries that are not considered variable interest entities and all variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary (Note 14), after eliminations of all intercompany accounts, transactions and profits.

(b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets

F-13

CDC Corporation

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all cash held in banks and investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Except for the restricted cash disclosed in Note 5, none of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are restricted as to withdrawal or use.

(d) Property and Equipment and Depreciation

Leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, office equipment, computer equipment and motor vehicles are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of the property and equipment are as follows:

Leasehold improvements	Over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life
Furniture and fixtures	1 to 10 years
Office equipment	3 to 5 years
Computer equipment	1 to 3 years
Motor vehicles	3 to 5 years

(e) Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes computer software product development costs incurred in developing a product once technological feasibility has been established, and capitalization of product software development costs stops once the product is available for general release to customers. The Company evaluates realizability of the capitalized amounts based on expected revenue from the product over the remaining product life. Where future revenue streams are not expected to cover remaining unamortized amounts, the Company expenses the remaining capitalized amounts. The amortization of such costs is computed as the greater of the amount calculated based on (i) the ratio of current product revenue to projected current and future product revenue or (ii) the straight-line basis over the expected economic life of the product (not to exceed five years). Software costs related to the development of new products incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility or after general release are expensed as incurred. When technological feasibility of the underlying software is not established until substantially all product development is completed, including the development of a working model, the Company expenses the costs of such development because the impact of capitalizing such costs would not be material.

(f) Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”), requires companies to test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or an interim basis if an event occurs that might reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. SFAS 142 also requires that an identifiable intangible asset that is determined to have an indefinite useful economic life should not be amortized, but instead tested separately for impairment using a fair value based approach. All other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

(in thousands U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

The Company’s intangible assets represent trademarks and trade names, uniform resource locators (“URLs”), software applications and programs, customer base and contracts, and business licenses and partnership agreements. Definite-lived intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the greater of the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective asset or the undiscounted cash flows method. The estimated useful lives of these intangible assets are as follows:

Trademarks	Indefinite
Trade names	3 to 5 years
URLs	20 years
Software applications and programs	3 to 7 years
Customer base and contracts	1 to 10 years
Business licenses and partnership agreements	1 to 7 years

The Company evaluates the long-lived assets of identifiable business activities for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Other than the impairment of the intangible assets related to the MVAS and Games segments (Note 4), the Company did not record any impairment for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The Company tests goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for impairment utilizing a combination of valuation techniques including the expected present value of future cash flows approach. The Company performed its annual goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets test on December 31 as required by SFAS 142 and determined that there was no impairment for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006. Other than the impairment of the goodwill related to the MVAS segment of $71,096 (Note 9), the Company did not record any impairment for the year ended December 31, 2007.

(g) Investments

Debt and equity investments designated as available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value. Unrealized holding gains or losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale securities are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses and any declines in fair value judged to be other-than-temporary (“OTT”) on available-for-sale securities are included in gain (loss) on disposal of investments and impairment of investments, respectively, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Gains or losses on the sale of investments and amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the consolidated statements of operations are computed based upon specific identification. Interest on securities classified as available-for-sale securities is included in interest income. See Note 7 for a further discussion of the Company’s OTT impairment on its collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”).

Debt investments where the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity are designated as held-to-maturity securities and are stated at amortized cost.

When determining whether an impairment of investments exists or a decline in the value of an available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security is OTT, the Company evaluates evidence to support a realizable value in excess of the current market price for the securities. Such information may include the investment’s financial performance (including such factors as earnings trends, dividend payments, asset quality and specific events), the near term prospects of the investment, the current and expected financial condition of the investment’s issuer, and the Company’s investment intent.

The Company’s investments in equity investees for which its ownership exceeds 20% or for which the Company owns less than 20% but has the ability to exercise significant influence, but which are not majority-owned, are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method,

F-15

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

the Company’s proportionate share of each equity investee’s net income or loss and the amortization of any identifiable intangible assets arising from the investment is included in share of income and losses in equity investees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

All other investments for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence (generally, when the Company has an investment of less than 20% ownership and no representation on the company’s Board of Directors) and for which there is not a readily determinable fair value, are accounted for using the cost method. Dividends and other distributions of earnings from investees, if any, are included in income when declared. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its investments accounted for under the cost method of accounting and any impairment is included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

(h) Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets (other than goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets) are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset (other than goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets) exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the asset’s use and eventual disposition. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. As discussed in Note 4, the Company recognized impairment of $4,213 related to CDC Games license fee assets during the year ended December 31, 2007.

(i) Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign operations have been translated into the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”) from their local functional currencies in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” (“SFAS 52”). Under SFAS 52, all assets and liabilities are translated at year end exchange rates. Income statement items are translated at an average exchange rate for the year. Translation adjustments are not included in determining net income, but are accumulated and reported as a component of shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized and unrealized gains and losses, which result from foreign currency transactions, are included in determining net income (loss), except for intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long term investment nature which are reported as translation adjustments. The Company considers itself to be permanently reinvested with respect to its investment in its foreign subsidiaries. Accordingly, no realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translation of investments in foreign subsidiaries are included in the Company’s consolidated income statements for any year presented.

During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, $380, Nil and Nil, respectively, were reclassified from cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment and included in the consolidated statement of operations as a result of the sale or liquidation of an investment in a foreign operation.

(j) Advertising Expenses

Advertising expenses are charged to expenses when incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, advertising expenses totaled $5,050 , $10,573 and $6,573 , respectively.

(k) Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. Shipping and handling costs are not separately billed to customers.

(l) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. If an acceptance period is required, revenue is recognized upon the earlier of customer acceptance or the expiration of the acceptance period. In some circumstances, the Company recognizes revenue on arrangements that contain certain acceptance provisions when it has historical experience that the acceptance provision is perfunctory. The Company’s agreements with its customers, resellers and distributors do not contain product return rights. If the fee is not fixed or determinable due to the existence of extended payment terms, revenue is recognized periodically as payments become due, provided all other conditions for revenue recognition are met. Discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period in which the related revenue is recorded. Such provisions are calculated after considering relevant historical data.

The specific literature that the Company follows in connection with its revenue recognition policy includes the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”), as amended by SOP 98-9, “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions,” Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” EITF 00-3, “Application of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Arrangements That Include the Right to Use Software Stored on Another Entity’s Hardware,” and in certain instances EITF 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent” (“EITF 99-19”) and SOP 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” (“SOP 81-1”).

In addition to these basic criteria, there are specific revenue recognition policies for each major stream of revenue by reportable segment.

Software

Revenue from the sale of software products often includes a combination of software licenses, consulting and integration services, and the provision of training and maintenance services.

Consulting and integration services consist of programming, installation and implementation services. Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value for each of the above noted elements are determined as follows:

Software. The Company does not sell software or software licenses to its customers on a stand-alone basis; therefore, allocation of fees to the software component of multiple element arrangements is determined using the residual method. According to this method, the Company measures the amount of the arrangement fee allocated to the delivered elements based on the difference between the arrangement fee and the VSOE of fair value of the undelivered elements. The amount allocated to the software license is calculated by subtracting the VSOE of fair value for maintenance, consulting and integration services, and training services from the total arrangement fee in accordance with paragraph 12 of SOP 97-2. For those agreements that provide for significant services or custom development that are essential to the software’s functionality, the software

license and contracted services are recognized under the percentage of completion method as prescribed by the provisions of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 45, “Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts,” and SOP 81-1.

When software licenses incorporating third-party software products are sold or sold with third-party products that complement the software, the Company recognizes the gross amount of sales of third-party products as revenue in accordance with EITF 99-19.

In addition, the Company offers its customers hosting services for some of its products. Under these subscription-based contracts, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period commencing, when the product has been installed. Revenue from hosting services is included in licenses line items in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Consulting, Integration Services and Training. Consulting and integration services include programming, installation and implementation of the software products. VSOE of fair value for programming, consulting and integration services and for training services, respectively, is determined based on transactions where such services are rendered on a stand-alone basis to customers.

Historically, a substantial majority of the Company’s stand-alone programming, consulting and integration services and stand-alone training services are priced within a narrow range of the median value of the stand-alone sales. Variation in pricing for such services is due to differences in transaction volume and type of arrangement (beta site versus established sites). VSOE of fair value for consulting, integration and training services is established by region by an analysis of stand-alone sales of services over the preceding one year period. In a multiple-element arrangement, if the stated rates for such services fall outside of the established VSOE of fair value, then revenue from the delivered elements is deferred accordingly and recognized as the services are delivered, assuming all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met.

Many of the Company’s software arrangements include consulting implementation services sold separately under consulting engagement contracts. Consulting revenue from these arrangements are accounted for separately from new software license revenue because the arrangements qualify as service transactions as defined in SOP 97-2. The more significant factors considered in determining whether the revenue should be accounted for separately include the nature of services (i.e., consideration of whether the services are essential to the functionality of the licensed product), degree of risk, availability of services from other vendors, timing of payments and impact of milestones or acceptance criteria on the realizability of the software license fee. Revenue for consulting services is recognized as the services are performed. If there is a significant uncertainty about the project completion or receipt of payment for the consulting services, revenue is deferred until the uncertainty is sufficiently resolved. Contracts with fixed or “not to exceed” fees are recognized on a proportional performance basis.

If an arrangement does not qualify for separate accounting of the software license and consulting transactions, then new software license revenue is recognized together with the consulting services based on contract accounting using either the percentage-of-completion or completed-contract method. Contract accounting is applied to any arrangements: (1) that include milestones or customer-specific acceptance criteria that may affect collection of the software license fees; (2) where services include significant modification or customization of the software; (3) where significant consulting services are provided for in the software license contract without additional charge or are substantially discounted; or (4) where the software license payment is tied to the performance of consulting services. This revenue is classified together with license revenue and was not significant in any year presented.

(in thousands U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

Maintenance. VSOE of fair value for maintenance services is determined based on the contractual renewal rate. The maintenance renewal rates are always priced based on a percentage of the software license fee. Maintenance renewal rates as percentage of license fee is set at a fixed rate for each geographical area in which the Company operates. Maintenance renewal rates may be different for the same basic product sold in different geographical areas due to different market variables such as competitors’ pricing and distribution channels. Substantially all maintenance renewals are priced at a standard percentage of software license fees and therefore the Company determined that it has established a VSOE of fair value for maintenance. The Company’s policy and business practice is for customers to renew their maintenance services at the stated rate indicated in the contract. Revenue related to maintenance is deferred and recognized ratably over the terms of the maintenance agreements, which are normally one year.

Arrangements with Value-added Resellers (“VARs”) and Distributors. The Company enters into software license arrangements with certain established VARs in which the VARs agree to sell the Company’s software to end-users. In the vast majority of these arrangements, the VARs are obligated to pay the Company only as and if sales are made to the end-users. The fee received is calculated on a stipulated percentage of the individual sales earned by the VARs which is stated in the sales contract. Pursuant to SOP 97-2, the fee relating to VARs transactions is not fixed or determinable until the software is sold by the VARs to the end users. Consequently, the Company does not recognize any revenue for VARs transactions until all of the criteria specified under paragraph 8 of SOP 97-2 are met; this point coincides with the sell-through to the end-users because at that point, the Company has persuasive evidence of an arrangement (a signed contract with VARs), the fee is fixed or determinable, delivery has occurred, and collection is reasonably assured. VARs and distributors do not have rights of return, price protections, rotation rights, or other features that would preclude revenue recognition. The Company does not typically earn any portion of fees for services provided by the distributor to the end-user. The Company earns maintenance fees based upon an agreed-upon percentage of the maintenance fees that the distributor earns from the end-user.

VARs have a sole discretion and responsibility to determine and negotiate the sales price of the Company’s software with the end-users. VARs are also responsible for billing and collecting from the end-users and assume all credit risks.

Global Services

The Company provides design and development services which encompass eBusiness consulting, development of mobile phone interfaces and web development services, and the modification, re-configuration, and testing of customers’ information systems to enhance customers’ internal financial reporting systems to customer specifications. These projects are priced on a fixed fee basis. Customers’ needs and specifications are documented in the statement of work which is attached to the agreement. For such arrangements, the Company is able to make reasonable estimates based on the Company’s historical experience with similar transactions, and with the total costs, fees and progress to completion. The vast majority of these agreements do not include customer acceptance provisions. The Company recognizes revenue for these projects using the percentage of completion method in accordance with SOP 81-1. For arrangements containing customer-specific acceptance clauses, the Company accounts for revenue based on the completed contract method by deferring the recognition of revenue until it obtains formal acceptance due to the unique nature of customer acceptance terms which require that the functionality of the product passes a predetermined acceptance test as designed by the customer.

Revenue from time and materials outsourcing contracts is recognized as the services are delivered, assuming all other basic criteria for revenue recognition have been met.

The Company provides database and marketing support services, including list rental, database development and supply, data analysis and call center services in Australia and New Zealand. In these single element arrangements, the Company maintains the databases as a source of marketing intelligence on medium and large companies and organizations in Australia and New Zealand. Direct marketers and other customers can use this data to develop and execute marketing campaigns, measure market penetration, and analyze marketing opportunities. Revenue from the Company’s advertising and marketing services is recognized upon the delivery of a specified customer list and other data from the Company’s databases to its customers. The delivery is in the form of a flat file of data which is delivered to the customer by email. These services are priced based on a pricelist. The price is determined based on the number of contacts and the amount of data supplied for each contact. The delivery of the customer list to the customer constitutes the contract delivery. The Company does not recognize revenue from these types of arrangements until all criteria in SAB 104 have been met, which coincides with the delivery of the customer list to the customer because at that point, the Company has persuasive evidence of the arrangement, the fee is fixed and determinable, delivery has occurred and collection is reasonably assured. The completed performance method is appropriate because the delivery of the data is of such significance to the customer that substantial performance has not taken place until the data is delivered.

Advertising and marketing consulting services revenue for fixed price contracts are recognized using the proportional performance method based on hours incurred. Revenue from time and materials outsourcing contracts are recognized as the services are delivered, assuming all other basic criteria for revenue recognition have been met.

Revenue from Internet web site maintenance agreements is deferred and recognized ratably over the terms of the related agreements, which are usually for periods of six months or one year.

Hardware revenue is recognized upon shipment by the hardware vendor and title has transferred to the customer.

CDC Games

CDC Games revenue is principally derived from the provision of online game services in the PRC. The Company operates its Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (“MMORPGs”) under two models. The first revenue model is the traditional subscription based pay-to-play, where users purchase pre-paid cards (the “PP-Cards”) to play for a fixed number of hours. The second revenue model is free-to-play, under which players are able to access the games free of charge but may choose to purchase in-game merchandise or premium features to enhance their game playing experience. Such purchases can only be made through the use of PP-Cards.

All PP-Cards are sold to distributors and retailers across the country, from whom CDC Games collects payment on a prepaid basis. The distributors then resell the cards to end users and other retail points. CDC Games offered sales discounts primarily ranging from 13% - 15% to distributors or retailers. The sales discount represents the difference between the price at which the PP-Cards are sold and the face value of the PP-Cards.

End users are required to activate their PP-Cards by using access codes and passwords to exchange the value of these cards into game points, which are then deposited into their personal accounts. Points are consumed for online game services by trading them either for a pre-specified length of game playing time or in-game merchandise or premium features sold at online game stores.

All prepaid fees received by CDC Games from distributors are initially recognized as deferred revenue and revenue is recognized when the registered points are consumed for the Company’s online game services, i.e., when game playing time occurs or in-game merchandise or premium features are delivered, or when the end customers are no longer entitled to access the online game services after the expiration of the PP-Cards. Distributors are permitted to return unsold prepaid cards under certain conditions, including termination of game and disqualification of distributor status. Returns of PP-Cards during 2006 and 2007 were not material.

China.com

Revenue from internet and media mainly represents revenue from advertising, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period in which the advertisement is displayed, and when collection of the resulting receivable is probable, provided that no significant obligations of the Company remain. Advertising service fees from direct mailings are recognized when each advertisement is sent to a target audience.

MVAS

MVAS revenue is recognized when services are provided. The Company records revenue on a monthly basis based upon confirmations from the network operators. At the end of each reporting period, where an operator fails to provide the Company with a monthly statement confirming the amount of charges billed to its mobile phone users for that month, the Company uses information generated from its own internal system and historical financial data to make estimates of the billing reconciliation rate and collectible mobile services and applications fees, and revenue is accrued accordingly.

(m) Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents cash received for software, business services, advertising and marketing services and online games in advance of services being rendered. The Company reports deferred revenue as a liability on the balance sheet when there is a contractual obligation at the balance sheet date to provide services or software product to the customer but the services or software have not yet been completed or the product has not yet been delivered, and thus no recognition of revenue has taken place.

(n) Income Taxes

Income taxes are determined under the liability method as required by SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). Income tax expense is based on pre-tax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax benefits that, based on available evidence, are not more likely than not to be realized.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under the interpretation, the Company shall recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based upon the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Conversely, the Company shall derecognize a previously recognized tax position in the first period in which it is no longer more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold shall initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The Company also recognizes interest expense by applying a rate of interest to the difference between the tax position recognized in accordance with FIN 48 and the amount previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company classifies interest expense and related penalties, if any, with respect to its uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes.

(o) Stock Compensation Expenses

On January 1, 2006, the Company and its subsidiary China.com adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based employee compensation arrangements under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations, and complied with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Under APB 25, share compensation expense was recognized by utilizing the accelerated expense attribution method over the vesting period of the share options based on the difference, if any, between the fair value of the underlying the Company’s shares at the date of grant and the exercise price of the share options. During 2007, the Company approved its subsidiaries CDC Software and CDC Games, 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. Upon creation of these plans, both CDC Software and CDC Games adopted SFAS 123(R).

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), cash flows resulting from the tax benefit related to equity-based compensation were required to be presented in the operating cash flows, along with other tax cash flows, in accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-15, “Classification in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Income Tax Benefit Received by a Company upon Exercise of a Nonqualified Employee Stock Option” (“EITF 00-15”). SFAS 123(R) superseded EITF 00-15, amended SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows” (“SFAS 95”), and requires tax benefits relating to excess equity-based compensation deductions to be prospectively presented in the statement of cash flows as financing cash inflows.

The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method. SFAS 123(R) requires measurement of compensation cost for all share-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The recognized expense is net of expected forfeitures, and the restatement of prior periods is not required.

The fair value of restricted shares is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares. SFAS 123(R) did not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees as originally issued by EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” (“EITF 96-18”). The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with the Company’s valuation techniques previously utilized for options in footnote disclosures under SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”). On March 29, 2005, the SEC published Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”), which provides the Staff’s views on a variety of matters related to share-based payments. SAB 107 requires that share-based compensation be classified in the same expense line items as cash compensation.

Equity-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 was $6,887 and $8,451 , respectively. The estimated fair value of the Company’s equity-based awards, less expected forfeitures, is amortized over the awards’ vesting period on a straight-line basis.

Prior to its adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for equity-based compensation under the provisions and related interpretations of SFAS 148 and APB 25. Accordingly, the Company was not required to record compensation expense when stock options were granted to its employees as long as the exercise price was not less than the fair market value of the stock at the grant date. Also, the Company was not required to record compensation expense when the Company issued common stock under its Employee Stock Purchase Plan as long as the purchase price was not less than 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

Had compensation cost for the Company’s and China.com Inc.’s share-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R), the Company’s net loss and net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2005, would have been as follows:

	Year ended December 31, 2005
Net loss:

As reported	$	(0.03	)
Pro forma	$	(0.12	)
Diluted loss per share:
As reported	$	(0.03	)
Pro forma	$	(0.12	)

For the purpose of the pro forma disclosures above, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period.

As further discussed in Note 19, on December 29, 2005, the Company accelerated the vesting of approximately 1.7 million unvested share options with exercise prices equal to or greater than $3.50 per share. The closing price of the Company’s common shares on December 28, 2005, the last trading day before the acceleration, was $3.14 per share. The acceleration was effective as of December 29, 2005. The options had a range of exercise prices of $3.79 to $7.38 and a weighted average exercise price of $4.32. The purpose of the acceleration was to enable the Company to avoid recognizing compensation expense associated with these options upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R) in January 2006. The Company also believed that because the options that were accelerated had exercise prices in excess of the current market value of it’s common stock, the options had limited economic value and were not fully achieving their original objective of employee retention and incentive compensation. Included in the computation of pro forma net loss and net loss per share for the period ended December 31, 2005, is $4,433 in share compensation expense related to the accelerated options.

(p) Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS 128”). The Company’s convertible notes (Note 11) meet the definition of a participating security in accordance with EITF 03-6 “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under SFAS No. 128”. Therefore, the convertible notes are included in basic earnings per share using the two-class stock method and in diluted earnings per share using the more dilutive of the if-converted method or two-class method. Under the provisions of SFAS 128, basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss available to common shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss available to common shareholders for the year, adjusted for any impact to net income or loss by dilutive common equivalent shares, by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Common equivalent shares, composed of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, are included in diluted earnings or loss per share to the extent that such shares are dilutive.

(q) Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are carried at their original amount less an estimate made for uncollectible amounts. The Company does not charge interest on receivables.

(r) Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net earnings or loss as well as additional other comprehensive income (loss) items. The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) consists of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, unrealized gains and losses on held-to-maturity securities and foreign currency translations, all recorded net of tax.

(s) Gain on Issuance of Shares by Subsidiaries

When a subsidiary sells its shares to unrelated parties at a price in excess of its book value, the Company’s net investment in that subsidiary increases. If at that time the subsidiary is not a newly-formed, non-operating entity, nor a research and development, start-up or development stage company, nor is there question as to the subsidiary’s ability to continue in existence, the Company records the increase as a non-operating gain in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Otherwise, the increase is reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity.

(t) Retirement Costs

Retirement costs relating to defined benefit plans are determined based on assumptions concerning the future events that will determine the amount and timing of the benefit payments. Contributions relating to defined contribution plans are made based on a percentage of the employees’ salaries and are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as they become payable.

(u) Business Restructuring Charges and Related Expenses

The Company accounts for exit or disposal activities in accordance with SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS 146”) and SFAS No. 112, “Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits” (“SFAS 112”). In accordance with SFAS 146, a business restructuring is defined as an exit activity that includes but is not limited to a program that is planned and controlled by management, and materially changes either the scope of a business or the manner in which that business is conducted. Business restructuring charges include

(in thousands U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

(i) one-time termination benefits related to employee separations, (ii) contract termination costs, and (iii) other costs associated with consolidating or closing of facilities. SFAS 112 prescribes the accounting for the estimated cost of benefits provided by an employer to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement.

A liability is recognized and measured at its fair value for one-time termination benefits once the plan of termination is communicated to employees and it meets all of the following criteria: (i) management commits to a plan of termination, (ii) the plan identifies the number of employees to be terminated, their job classifications or functions, locations and the expected completion date, (iii) the plan establishes the terms of the benefit arrangement, and (iv) it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn. Contract termination costs include costs to terminate a contract or costs that will continue to be incurred under the contract without benefit to the Company. A liability is recognized and measured at its fair value when the Company either terminates the contract or ceases using the rights conveyed by the contract. A liability is recognized and measured at its fair value for other associated costs in the period in which the liability is incurred.

(v) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (“SFAS 155”). It allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives that otherwise would require bifurcation from the host to be accounted for as a whole, if the holder irrevocably elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the instrument would be recognized in earnings. The standard also clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirement of SFAS 133; establishes a requirement to evaluate interest in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities – a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125” (“SFAS 140”) to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued by the Company after January 1, 2007. SFAS 155 did not have an effect on the company’s financial position or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and establishes a hierarchy that categorizes and prioritizes the sources to be used to estimate fair value. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008 on a prospective basis. In February, 2008, the FASB issued Financial Statement of Position No. 157-2, “Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of Statement 157” (“FSP 157-2”). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157, for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Management believes this standard will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires the recognition of a plan’s overfunded or underfunded status as an asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheet and the recognition of changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. The Company settled its defined benefit plan obligations during 2006, therefore, SFAS 158 did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 or 2007.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management believes this standard will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), and SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. This standard also requires the fair value measurement of certain other assets and liabilities related to the acquisition such as contingencies and research and development. SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Consolidated net income should include the net income for both the parent and the noncontrolling interest with disclosure of both amounts on the consolidated statement of income. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. The effective date for both Statements is the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The Company has currently not determined the potential effects on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2007, the FASB issued FSP FIN No. 39-1, which amended FIN No. 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts — an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 10 and FASB Statement No. 105 (“FIN No. 39”), to indicate that the following fair value amounts could be offset against each other if certain conditions of FIN No. 39 are otherwise met: (a) those recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement and (b) those recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable) arising from the same master netting arrangement as the derivative instruments. In addition, a reporting entity is not precluded from offsetting the derivative instruments if it determines that the amount recognized upon payment or receipt of cash collateral is not a fair value amount. FSP FIN No. 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of this statement on its consolidated financial position and results of operations for 2008.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). This statement applies to the accounting for noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 requires noncontrolling interests to be reported as a component of equity, which changes the accounting for transactions with noncontrolling interest holders. The effective date for SFAS 160 is the beginning of fiscal year 2009. The Company has currently not determined the potential effects on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). This statement is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, "Determining the Useful Life of Intangible Assets" (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors to be considered in determining the useful life of intangible assets. Its intent is to improve the consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure its fair value. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the implementation will have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

(a) During 2007, the Company made the following acquisitions:

(i) Respond Group Ltd. (“Respond”)

In February 2007, the Company acquired a 100% equity interest in Respond through the acquisition of its entire issued share capital.

Revenue must exceed $12,000 during each annual period for any additional consideration to be payable for that period. Any additional consideration will be paid in the form of cash. The additional compensation payments are subject to holdback in the event of breaches of representations and warranties, and various other adjustments. Management has determined that these contingent payments are not probable; therefore, no accrual has been recorded as of December 31, 2007.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price of $14,743, including direct expenses related to the acquisition, was as follows:

				Useful Life

The Company is continuing its plan of integration of certain activities at Saratoga. These activities are accounted for in accordance with EITF 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination” (“EITF 95-3”). These costs primarily include the closure of facilities and employee terminations in the United States, United Kingdom and Sweden. Such costs have been recognized as liabilities assumed in the acquisition because the Company had begun to assess and formulate a plan to integrate these activities at the time of the acquisition of Saratoga. During 2007, the Company recorded a liability of $1,730 as a result of severance costs and relocation costs related to the acquisition with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.

In March 2007, the Company entered into an addendum to its share purchase agreement pursuant to which, among other things, it accelerated the payment of the second cash installment payable to the sellers and paid $815 as an additional cash consideration to the sellers. Furthermore, in August 2007, the Company entered into a second addendum to the share purchase agreement pursuant to which it accelerated the payment of the third cash installment, amended such amount to $1,250 and released the sellers from any liability after November 30, 2007. Under this addendum, the Company paid $625 on execution and paid the remaining amounts in three equal installments of $208. In accordance with EITF 95-08 “Accounting for Contingent Consideration Paid to the Shareholders of an Acquired Enterprise in a Purchase Business Combination” (“EITF 95-08”), the Company has accounted for these additional contingent payments as adjustments to the purchase price and has recorded these payments as additional goodwill in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007.

The goodwill was assigned to the Global Services segment, and such goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

(iii) TimeHeart Science Technology Limited (the “TimeHeart Group”)

On November 28, 2006, China.com Inc. acquired a 100% equity interest in the TimeHeart Group through the acquisition of its entire issued share capital. In accordance with SFAS 141, this acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the results of the TimeHeart Group’s operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. TimeHeart Group’s core business is value-added telecom services. The acquisition of the TimeHeart Group complements the Company’s current mobile services and applications platform and provides the Company with the opportunity to further expand its market share.

The components of the purchase price were: (i) cash consideration of $2,113; (ii) 27,320,490 restricted shares of China.com Inc. valued at $1,605 at the commitment date; (iii) 10% of the issued share capital of CDC Mobile Media Corporation, a subsidiary of the Company, valued at $1,794 at the date of acquisition; and (iv) contingent consideration based on a formula set out in the agreement, which would vary based on the performance of the TimeHeart Group in the fourth quarter of 2006 and in the year 2007. The contingent consideration was to be in the form of restricted shares of China.com Inc., equivalent to a maximum amount of $2,080. As of December 31, 2007, the criteria for this contingent consideration were not met and, accordingly, no adjustment for the contingent payment has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

The purchase price of $5,512 for the TimeHeart Group has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on management’s estimate of their respective fair values as of the date of the acquisition. Due to the synergies expected with the Company’s existing businesses, the purchase price resulted in the recognition of goodwill. The goodwill was assigned to the MVAS segment, and such goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The additional consideration payments are also subject to adjustment in the event of breaches of representations and warranties. In accordance with EITF 95-08, the Company has accounted for these additional contingent payments as compensation because in accordance with the purchase agreement the payment is automatically forfeited if employment terminates and it was probable that certain performance criteria were going to be met. The Company has accrued $1,400 and $717 at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, related to these additional consideration payments.

MVAS Impairment

See Note 9 for further discussion of the status of the MVAS segment and the Company’s goodwill impairment charge of $71,096.

In accordance with the Company’s policy on testing long-lived assets for impairment (Note 2(h)), the Company had a triggering event that required testing the intangible assets of the MVAS business for impairment. The Company performed its impairment test and determined that the intangible assets were impaired because the Company did not have sufficient discounted cash flows to support the remaining intangible assets due to the fact that it had made the decision to exit this business in 2008. Therefore, the Company wrote off all the remaining intangible assets that related to this segment, which equaled $2,398.

CDC Games Impairment

The Company’s business model in the CDC Games segment is to make investments in a diverse set of online computer game licenses. During 2006 and 2007 the Company entered into many license arrangements with numerous game developers for the right to produce the online computer games in specific countries and/or geographical regions. Not all of these games are successfully launched due to various factors: 1) development problems; 2) poor beta test results; 3) other games have better potential to become successful; and 4) limited capital resources. During 2007, the Company performed an assessment of the recoverability of the license fee assets and determined that they would not generate future cash flows from several licenses and, therefore, it impaired $4,213 of these license fees.

Legal Settlements

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to other litigation and claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Periodically, the Company settles these disputes with the various counterparties. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, the Company recorded Nil, $2,900 and $1,370 in legal settlement costs.

Gain on Sale of ION Global

In August 2007, the Company entered into four separate agreements to sell the principal assets and subsidiaries that comprised its Ion Global business for $9,000. Subsequent to the date of sale, the Company received an additional $665 due to a net asset adjustment. In total, these transactions resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $6,745 . Under the terms of these agreements, the Company agreed to sell (i) the assets related to the internet consulting services and website design and development of Ion Global (California), Inc.; (ii) substantially all of the assets of Ion Global Limited; (iii) all of the issued and outstanding shares of Ion Global Korea Ltd. held by Ion Global (BVI) Ltd.; and (iv) the “Ion Global” trademark. Ion Global was included within the Global Services segment and the goodwill associated with this transaction was allocated on a historical basis as Ion Global was not integrated into the Company.

The Company has concluded that the financial position, results of operations and cash flows from these businesses are immaterial to the overall results of the Company and therefore have not been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Impairment of Cost Investments and Other Assets

CDC Games cost investments	$	—	$	—	$	4,337
Corporate other assets		—		—		2,552
	$	—	$	—	$	6,889

As discussed above, CDC Games’ strategy is to make several investments in game licenses. In addition, the Company made some cost investments in online computer game development companies. During 2007 and early 2008, these game developers lost their access to the credit markets, thus raising questions as to their ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company recorded a charge of $4,337 to write-off its investment in these companies.

The Company has made cost investments in several companies during its history. In 2007, one of these companies filed bankruptcy and the Company was not able to recover its $2,403 investment. The Company also wrote off other assets of $149.

5. RESTRICTED CASH

The Company had $1,996 and $9,066 of restricted cash at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

At December 31, 2006 and 2007, $1,996 and $454, respectively, of restricted cash served as collateral for an irrevocable standby letter of credit that provides financial assurance that the Company will fulfill its obligations with respect to the operating lease agreement at Pivotal Corporation, an affiliate of the Company. The letter of credit is renewed annually. The cash is held in custody by the issuing bank and is restricted as to withdrawal or use.

At December 31, 2007 an additional $3,612 of restricted cash was held in various escrow accounts as collateral for pending litigation settlements and an additional $5,000 served as collateral for the Company’s line of credit agreement with a financial institution (Note 11).

Included in the total available-for-sale debt securities as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, were debt securities with a market value of Nil and $30,867, respectively, which were pledged as compensating balances in connection with the credit lines granted to the Company as further discussed in Note 11.

The gross realized gains on sales of available-for-sale securities totaled $584, $392 and $516 in 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. The gross realized losses on sales of available-for-sale securities totaled $59, $224 and $2 in 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

In 2006, the Company acquired an equity interest in preference shares in two CDOs coupled with a U.S. treasury strip for an aggregate nominal amount of $38,700. These investments are subject to variability as there is no stated coupon rate and the equity interest in these investments is subject to changes in returns on the collateralized debt backing the interest. The principal amount in these investments is backed by U.S. treasury strips and domestic corporate debt with S&P ratings ranging from “BBB” to “CC”.

The Company currently intends to hold the CDO investments as long-term investments, not to be traded in the near term. As the aforementioned investments are not publicly traded and have no active market, fair value as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, was determined by the respective brokers and validated by management based on expected cash flow returns discounted by rates consistent with rates of return offered on comparable investments with comparable risks. In addition at December 31, 2007, management based the fair value on binding quotes received from third parties for these investments. These valuations represent management’s best estimate of fair value of these investments at December 31, 2006 and 2007, and may or may not represent the ultimate value of these investments.

At December 31, 2006 and 2007, the Company evaluated the length of time and extent to which the fair market value of certain of its securities had been less than their cost, as well as the financial condition and performance of the issuer and the Company’s intention and ability to hold such securities to recovery or maturity. The Company records an impairment loss on securities for which the decrease in fair value of the securities was determined to be OTT. At December 31, 2006 and 2007, Nil and $13,497 respectively, of the Company’s CDOs were determined to have an OTT impairment.

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in U.S. Treasury obligations were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be OTT impaired at December 31, 2006 and 2007.

The Company’s investments in marketable equity securities consist primarily of investments in common stock. The Company has evaluated the near-term prospects of the issuers in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment. Based on that evaluation and the Company’s ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value, the Company does not consider these investments to be OTT impaired at December 31, 2006 and 2007.

The Company did not have any securities classified as held-to-maturity at December 31, 2007. The following table summarizes the Company’s held-to-maturity securities pledged as collateral under multiple note purchase agreements (Note 11) as of December 31, 2006:

The regulatory environment for the MVAS industry in China changed in mid-2006 and the Company believes that market conditions will continue to be challenging for the entire MVAS sector in the future. Since the onset of the regulatory changes, the Company has significantly reduced headcount and the marketing promotion expenses incurred for the MVAS business. In 2007, the Company worked hard to explore various strategies to achieve long term growth. These strategies included: 1) continue to move further upstream into the content provider segment of the business, 2) continue to launch popular mobile games and 3) develop mobile applications for enterprises and government offices in China.

However, as the regulatory environment for the MVAS industry continues to be difficult and the Company sees no reasonable instance where its MVAS business may turn profitable in the foreseeable future, in February 2008, the Company announced that it was in the process of reducing the MVAS workforce and intended to scale down its emphasis on this business. Later in 2008, the Company made the determination that it was winding down the operations of the MVAS business and would discontinue this segment.

At December 31, 2007, the Company performed its annual impairment test and determined that all of the goodwill associated with the Company’s MVAS segment was impaired because the discounted cash flows from this segment were negative. The Company wrote off all of the goodwill that was assigned to this segment.

In 2007 the Company recorded net purchase price adjustments of $3,429 related to 2006 acquisitions. Most notably, goodwill from the DBPI acquisition was adjusted $1,989 based on a renegotiated purchase price, which resulted from an amendment to the original purchase agreement. Also, a $987 adjustment was made to the fair market values of assets and liabilities of Vis.align subsequent to recording the initial purchase accounting entries.

In 2007 the Company reallocated the goodwill from the acquisition of Vis.align from the Software segment to the Global Services segment. Vis.align was originally acquired in December of 2006 and the goodwill was assigned to the Software segment. However, during the integration process, management determined that Vis.align’s product and service offerings were more closely aligned with the Global Services segment, therefore 100% of the goodwill recognized in conjunction with this acquisition was reallocated from the Software segment to the Global Services segment. All prior periods have been adjusted to reflect this reorganization.

(a) Convertible Notes

In November 2006, the Company issued $168,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.75% senior exchangeable, unsecured convertible notes due 2011 to a total of 12 institutional accredited investors in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Conversion Option. Under the terms of the notes, the holders have the right to exchange such notes into common shares of the Company or upon a qualifying initial public offering (“IPO”), common shares of two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company based on a predetermined exchange price and when the IPO is consummated.

The aggregate number of common shares of the Company’s common stock that the Company may deliver to the holders in connection with exchanges of the notes is capped at a maximum of 19.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of the issue date of the note.

The aggregate number of common shares of each subsidiary that the Company is required to deliver to holders in connection with exchanges of the notes is capped at a maximum of 33.33% of the number of shares of each subsidiary’s common stock outstanding as of the time of the exchange.

Upon the occurrence of an IPO of either subsidiary and if the holders of the notes decide to convert the notes into the respective subsidiary’s shares, the Company has agreed to satisfy the conversion option by delivering the existing shares of its investment into the subsidiary.

The investors have agreed to a lock-up period of up to 180 days following the date of an IPO prospectus during which the investors will refrain from selling any of each subsidiary’s respective common shares.

Contingent Written Put Option 1. If a qualified IPO (defined as gross proceeds before underwriting discounts, commissions and fees, to the Company and any of its selling shareholders are at least $100,000, provided that the total gross proceeds to all selling shareholders is not in excess of 30% of the total proceeds from the IPO) by either of the two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company has not occurred within the first three years of issuance of the notes, the holder has the right to force the Company to repurchase all or any portion of an outstanding note in cash for an amount equal to the sum of (i) the principal of the note, (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest and (iii) any additional amounts.

Contingent Written Put Option 3. If the Company sustains an event of default (defined as (i) failure to pay when due any principal and/or interest due on the note, (ii) default or breach in the performance of any material covenants in the note agreement or failure to timely file with the SEC all reports required to be filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (iii) default or breach in the performance of any of the material covenants in the registration rights agreement or payment of any liquidated damages under such agreement as and when due, (iv) bankruptcy, insolvency or the appointment of receivership of the Company or any of its material subsidiaries, (v) court decree that it is illegal for the Company or either of the two wholly-owned subsidiaries to comply with any of its material obligations under the note agreement and related agreements, (vi) any default of indebtedness of the Company or any of its subsidiaries that individually or in the aggregate exceeds $5,000 and such default results in the redemption or acceleration of such indebtedness, or (vii) judgment against the Company or any of its material subsidiaries for payment of money in excess of $5,000, which is not discharged within 60 days), the holder has the right to force the Company to repurchase all or any portion of the outstanding note in cash for an amount equal to the sum of (i) the principal of the note, (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest, and (iii) any additional amounts. The accrued and unpaid interest amount will be based on the lower of 18% or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, applied retroactively as of the issue date.

(in thousands U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

Contingent Payment 3. If an event of default has occurred and continues for 45 days, the interest rate on a note will increase from 3.75% to the lower of 18% or the highest rate permitted by applicable law and will be in effect from the date of the event of default to the earlier of (i) the date the event of default is cured or (ii) the date on which the put price with respect to Contingent Written Put Option 3 is fully paid. The Company is required to bifurcate this contingent payment right pursuant to SFAS 133.

Contingent Payment 4. The Company has entered into a registration rights agreement with respect to each of the common shares deliverable upon an exchange of the notes. Under the terms of the registration rights agreement, the Company and the two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company have agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the respective common shares within 45 days after the consummation of the IPO, and to use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement become effective no later than the later of 60 days following the filing date or the date on which the lock-up period expires. The Company has agreed to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement until the later of such time as all of the respective common shares which may be delivered upon exchange may be re-sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) or May 13, 2012. In the event of any of the following: (i) the registration statement is not declared effective by the applicable deadlines; (ii) after the registration statement has been declared effective, sales cannot be made by a holder under the registration statement (except for limited exceptions related to allowed delays or suspensions described below); or (iii) an amendment to the registration statement required to be filed is not filed by the required date, the Company has agreed to pay the holders an amount of cash equal to 0.5% of the aggregate principal amount of notes then held by such holder, and for each month thereafter in which the default exists, an amount of cash equal to 1%, subject to a cap for each individual default of 6%, of the aggregate principal amount of the notes outstanding.

The Company is permitted to suspend without penalty the availability of the registration statement as a result of delaying the disclosure of material, nonpublic information concerning the Company for a maximum of 20 consecutive days and no more than 60 days in any period of 365 days.

The registration rights agreement represents a contingent obligation of the Company to make future payments under a registration payment arrangement. The Company accounts for the registration rights agreement in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” (“SFAS 5”) and FASB Interpretation No.14, “Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss”. At December 31, 2006 and 2007, the Company did not accrue for contingent obligation related to the registration rights agreement because of the remote likelihood that it will incur a loss under the registration rights agreement.

Contingent Payment 5. If any of the taxing jurisdictions of the U.S., Cayman Islands or the PRC were to compel the Company to withhold or deduct a tax with respect to any amounts to be paid by the Company under the note, the Company is obligated to pay such additional amounts on behalf of the note holders. The Company is required to bifurcate this contingent payment right pursuant to SFAS 133.

Dividends Participation Right. The holder of a note participates in any distributions of cash or other assets that the Company or either of the two wholly-owned subsidiaries makes to the holders of the Company or the two wholly-owned subsidiaries’ common stock, respectively. Specifically, upon declaration/payment of any such dividends, the holder can elect to either (i) receive the same amount and type of consideration as the underlying common shareholders on an as-converted basis into which the note is convertible based on the applicable conversion price then in effect or (ii) reduce the conversion price then in effect by multiplying it by a ratio that is designed to maintain the value of the conversion option.

In November 2006, the net proceeds of the $168,000 were allocated as follows: $161,683 to the convertible notes and $6,317 to the compound embedded derivatives liability. The initial discount on the convertible notes is being amortized as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations over the five-year term using the effective interest method.

In accordance with SFAS 133, the Company aggregated and accounted for the embedded derivatives as one compound derivative. The compound embedded derivative is comprised of the following: Contingent Written Put Options 1 & 2, Contingent Payments 1-3 and 5. The Company used a binomial option pricing model to calculate the fair value of the Contingent Written Put Options 1 & 2 and the Contingent Payments 1 & 2. The Company valued the Contingent Payment 3 & 5 using a discounted present value approach. The Company values the embedded derivatives at each subsequent reporting period and records the change in value of the derivatives in its own line item in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Details of the compound derivative for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 are as follows:

	Year ended December 31,
	2006			2007
Fair value of compound derivative at the beginning of the year	$	6,317		$	5,786
(Gain) loss on change in fair value of derivatives		(531	)		5,996
Fair value of compound derivative at the end of the year	$	5,786		$	11,782

The Company recorded debt issuance costs of $3,460 in conjunction with the issuance of the convertible notes, which are included in prepayments and other current assets and other assets on the accompanying balance sheets. The debt issuance costs are being amortized over 5 years on a straight-lined basis. The amortization expense is recorded in interest expense on the accompanying statements of operations.

The estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes at December 31, 2006 and 2007 was $167,645 and $158,406, respectively.

(b) Financing Agreements

In 2006 in connection with the purchase of certain CDO investments (Note 7), the Company and China.com Inc. entered into separate and independent financing agreements with two financial institutions, collectively referred to as the “Bank”, in the aggregate nominal amount of $38,700. The Company entered into a credit facility agreement with the Bank pursuant to which the Bank agreed to pay the Company the aggregate amount of $38,700 for payment of the purchase price of the collateralized debt obligations. The Company pledged certain held-to-maturity U.S. agency bonds as collateral for payments due under the financing agreements. These pledged securities all had maturity dates within 12 months and interest rates ranging from 2.58% to 3.2%. As these securities matured, a portion of the loan was settled with the cash proceeds. At December 31, 2006, the aggregate balance of the financing agreements was $18,700, and the total amount of securities pledged at December 31, 2006, was $30,504, all of which was classified as a restricted investment. The weighted average interest rate on these agreements during 2006 and at December 31, 2006, was 5.6%. During 2007, the balance of $18,700 was paid and no pledged securities remained at December 31, 2007. The weighted average interest rate on these agreements during 2007 was 5.6%.

(c) Credit Line Agreements

Under the line of credit arrangement with a financial institution, the Company may borrow up to $100,000 on such terms as the Company and the financial institution mutually agree upon. Interest is payable at the end of each interest period and is calculated using the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for the applicable interest rate period plus 0.2% per annum (4.42% at December 31, 2007). Except for loans of $10,000 that were repaid in 2006, this arrangement does not have a termination date but is reviewed annually for renewal. At December 31, 2006 and 2007, the Company had Nil and $30,000 outstanding, respectively, and the unused portion of the credit line was $100,000 and $70,000, respectively.

The Company utilized a margin facility to draw a revolving line of credit, with balances outstanding of Nil and $1,872 at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Interest is payable based upon LIBOR for the applicable interest rate period plus 0.75% per annum (4.97% at December 31, 2007). To secure the line of credit, the Company pledged some of the Company’s available-for-sale securities, which are recorded as restricted available-for-sale securities on the Company’s balance sheet.

A subsidiary of the Company had a line of credit with a financial institution in which the subsidiary may borrow up to $6,500. The loan had an outstanding balance of Nil and $905 as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively and the unused portion of the credit line was $6,500 and $5,595 at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Accrued unpaid interest is payable monthly based upon LIBOR for the applicable interest rate period plus 2.20% per annum (6.42% at December 31, 2007). The loan is secured by the assets of the subsidiary.

Under the line of credit arrangement between a financial institution and subsidiary of the Company, the financial institution allows the subsidiary to borrow up to 80% of the subsidiary’s accounts receivable balance. There was an outstanding balance of Nil and $579 as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Interest is variable and was 11.2% at December 31, 2007.

During 2006, the Company discontinued a $250,000 line of credit agreement with a financial institution.

Throughout the term of the agreement the financial institution paid to the Company any income associated with the debt securities, and the Company paid to the financial institution interest calculated using LIBOR plus 0.2% per annum. Loans of $16,249 were repaid in 2006 prior to the line of credit being discontinued.

14. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The MVAS and Internet content services are subject to foreign ownership restrictions in the PRC. To comply with the PRC laws and regulations that prohibit or restrict foreign ownership of telecommunications and other information services within the PRC, the Company provides substantially all of its MVAS and Internet portal services through its variable interest entities (“VIEs”). These VIEs are owned by certain employees of the Company who are PRC citizens (the “Nominees”). The Company funds the capital invested in these companies via interest-free loans to these PRC employees. These loans are eliminated in consolidation along with the capital of the VIEs. As of December 31, 2006 and 2007, the total amounts of interest-free loans to the Nominees were approximately $8,236 and $13,911, respectively. The Company has not pledged any assets as collateral for the obligations of any of the VIEs, and the creditors of the VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company.

The Company has entered into various contractual arrangements with the Nominees. Such contractual arrangements establish and facilitate the Company’s control over the operations of each of these VIEs. Under these contractual arrangements, each of the Nominees declares and undertakes that he or she holds equity interests in the relevant VIEs in trust for the Company. Each of these Nominees also undertakes to transfer his or her ownership in these entities to designees of the Company at any time for the amount of loans outstanding. These Nominees are also required to execute proxies to the designated representatives of the Company at the request of the Company to enable such representatives to attend and vote at shareholders’ meetings of these VIEs. Through these contractual arrangements, the Company is able to cause the individuals designated by it to be appointed as the directors and senior management of each of the VIEs.

The Company has also entered into exclusive technical service agreements with the VIEs under which the Company provides technical and other services to the VIEs in exchange for substantially all the net income of the VIEs. The technical services provided by the Company to the VIEs, as the case may be, relate to, among others, technologies in respect of MVAS and Internet content services, application software for network servers, system solutions, technical training and content development and design.

The following is a summary of the VIEs of the Company at December 31, 2007. All have been consolidated by the Company in accordance with FIN 46(R), because the Company is the primary beneficiary.

The Company considers itself to be permanently reinvested with respect to its investment in its foreign subsidiaries. Accordingly, no deferred income tax liability related to its foreign subsidiaries’ unremitted earnings have been included in the Company's provision for income taxes. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to income taxes and withholding taxes payable in various non-Cayman jurisdictions, which could potentially be offset by foreign tax credits. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liability is not practicable because of the complexities associated with the hypothetical calculation.

Due to its history of losses, the Company does not believe that sufficient objective and positive evidence currently exists to conclude that the recoverability of certain of its deferred tax assets is more likely than not. Consequently, the Company has provided valuation allowances of $58,969 and $62,685 as of December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, to cover its net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has increased by $3,716 in 2007.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had world wide net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $299,496 for income tax purposes, $126,181 of which will expire from 2008 to 2028 and $173,315 of which can be carried forward indefinitely. In the U.S., the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryovers of $69,956 of which $60,060 are subject to significant limitation provisions. The Company also had a U.S. net capital loss carryover of $10,279 which will expire in 2008 and are subject to significant limitation provisions. The limitation provisions which are imposed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service significantly restrict the Company’s ability to realize the benefits of these U.S. carryovers.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48 which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under the

F-60

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

interpretation, the Company shall recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based upon the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Conversely, the Company shall derecognize a previously recognized tax position in the first period in which it is no longer more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold shall initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The Company also recognizes interest expense by applying a rate of interest to the difference between the tax position recognized in accordance with FIN 48 and the amount previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company classifies interest expense and related penalties, if any, with respect to its uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes.

Upon adoption of FIN 48, $2,505 was recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings.

For the year ended December 31, 2007 the Company recognized $1,530 of additional interest and penalties related to its unrecognized income tax benefits in its income tax provision. As of December 31, 2007 the Company’s cumulative FIN 48 accrual includes $1,950 in interest and penalties.

The following table describes the tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions:

Tax Jurisdictions	Open Years
United States	1995 - 2007
Non – United States	1999 -2007

The following table summarizes the changes to the gross amounts of unrecognized tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2007.

	2007
Balance as of January 1,	$	7,406
Increases related to prior year tax positions		890
Decreases related to prior year tax positions		(3,450	)
Increases related to current year tax positions		4,103
Settlements		—
Lapse of statute of limitations		—
Foreign currency impact		151
Balance as of December 31,	$	9,100

These liabilities are primarily included as a component of long-term “Other liabilities” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets because the Company generally does not anticipate that settlement of the liabilities will require payment of cash within the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2007, $4,300 of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized in future periods, would impact our effective tax rate.

The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world, and its tax returns are periodically audited or subject to review by both domestic and foreign tax authorities.

It is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change for various reasons in the next 12 months; however, the Company does not expect that change to have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Because Newpalm has obtained the status of “manufacturing enterprise”, it is entitled to a reduced corporate income tax rate of 15%. During the year ended December 31, 2005, Newpalm received a confirmation from the relevant tax authorities that it would be fully exempt from PRC corporate income tax for the 2004 fiscal year and is entitled to a 50% tax reduction from 2005 to 2007 fiscal years. The tax concessions were $1,479 and $199 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and the per share effects were approximately Nil and Nil for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Beijing He He established in the PRC, is governed by the PRC Income Tax Laws. Under the PRC Income Tax Laws, enterprises satisfying certain criteria receive preferential tax treatment. Because Beijing He He has obtained the status of “new high technology enterprise” and is registered and operating in the Beijing Zhongguancun Science Park, it is entitled to a reduced corporate income tax rate of 15% upon expiry of its tax holiday period. Beijing He He was granted a “tax holiday” for exemption of PRC corporate income tax for three years starting from 2003 and is entitled to a 50% tax reduction, subject to official approval from the relevant PRC tax authority, for three consecutive years starting from 2006. The tax concession was $90 and $54 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and the per share effect was approximately Nil and Nil for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007.

Pivotal Bangalore Software Development Private Limited (“Pivotal India”), a subsidiary of Pivotal Corporation established in India, is subject to Indian corporate income tax at a rate of 35%. Upon fulfilling certain criteria, Pivotal India is entitled to certain Indian corporate income tax exemptions due to its status as a “100% Software Export Oriented Unit” located in the Bangalore Software Technology Park. Management believes that the necessary criteria for tax exemption have been met for the full year of 2006 and 2007 and accordingly, no provision for Indian corporate income tax has been made for the years. The tax concessions were $289 and $356 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively, and the per share effect was Nil and Nil for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007. The corporate income tax exemption is available until March 31, 2010. Management believes that Pivotal India will fulfill the necessary criteria for tax exemption in future periods. The effect of the future tax exemptions will be recognized when the fulfillment of such criteria is ascertained.

16. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, and 2007, are calculated using the two-class stock method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings (loss) per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to participation rights in undistributed earnings. Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share are calculated by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus dilutive potential common shares. Dilutive potential common shares are calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all options are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The amount of shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities.

(b) The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share did not assume the conversion of the Company’s stock options for 2005 and 2007 because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Income has been allocated to the common stock and convertible notes based on their respective rights to share in dividends. 2,263,642 and 16,200,579 weighted average shares related to the convertible notes were not included in the 2006 and 2007 diluted earnings per share calculations, respectively, because to do so would have been antidilutive.

Earnings-per-share amounts are computed independently for earnings (loss) from continuing operations, earnings (loss) from discontinued operations and net earnings (loss). As a result, the sum of per-share amounts from continuing operations and discontinued operations may not equal the per-share amounts for net earnings.

During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, the Company agreed to issue 343,617 and 162,936, respectively, Class A common shares in future years as additional purchase consideration for acquired subsidiaries. All of these shares have been included in the Company’s weighted average basic and diluted earnings per share calculation for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007.

17. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and to a lesser extent, interest rates which could affect its future results of operations and financial condition. The Company manages the exposure to these risks through its operating and financing activities.

Risks Related to CDO Investments (Note 6)

The equity portion of the Company’s investment in CDOs represents preference shares in the residual value of the underlying securities in the CDO. The underlying securities in the CDO are debt obligations of varying quality and risk. The preference shares are subject to the following types of risk:

Illiquidity and Market Value Volatility Risk

There can be no assurance of a liquid secondary market for our CDO investments. Our investment in preference shares could be particularly exposed to both liquidity and market value volatility risk if a CDO is required to liquidate assets and is forced to accept sales prices less than those paid for the assets or less than what the collateral manager may consider to be their fair value. The collateral consists primarily of securities not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and should be considered illiquid. As a result, should a default or event of default occur under the CDO Indenture which would permit or require liquidation of the collateral, there is no assurance that a ready market will exist for the collateral, and the proceeds of such sale may not be sufficient to repay the preference shares in full.

Prepayment Risk

The amount and frequency of payments of amounts due to the holders of preference shares in a CDO investment will depend on, among other things, the level of LIBOR, treasury yields and spreads, returns with respect to eligible investments, the extent to which portfolio collateral becomes defaulted portfolio collateral and scheduled payments of principal or retirement prior to the stated maturity of the underlying collateral through mandatory or optional redemption, sale, maturity or other liquidation or disposition. In addition, the redemption (upon a mandatory redemption) or other payment of principal of the underlying collateral, which will depend in part on the foregoing factors, will result in reduced leverage and may affect the yield to holders of the preference shares.

Default and Yield Risk

Preference shares in a CDO investment typically bear the risk of loss or other shortfalls prior to any classes of securities which are senior to them, and as a consequence are extremely sensitive to the delinquency and loss performance of the underlying assets. Any such losses and other shortfalls with respect to the collateral will be borne first by the holders of the preference shares and then by the holders of the most junior class of notes then outstanding. Further, the rate at which principal payments will be received on the securities will be dependent on the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the underlying assets and may fluctuate significantly over time. Such fluctuations will affect the yield to the issuer, as holder of such securities. The entities housing these CDO investments are VIEs. However, as the Company’s ownership in each does not constitute a primary beneficiary interest, the Company has not consolidated either entity.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable and other receivables. The maximum amount of loss would be $124,773 if the counterparties for non-government sponsored entity security investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable and other receivables failed to perform.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and investments with various financial institutions in the countries in which it operates. The Company has its policy to limit exposure to any one institution. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company does not require collateral on these financial instruments.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base. The Company generally does not require collateral for accounts receivable.

Concentration of Business Risk

Revenue has been derived from a number of clients that use the Company’s services. The top 10 customers accounted for 18%, 15% and 11% of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Dependence on Mobile Telecommunication Operators

The Company offers mobile services and applications to customers primarily through the two mobile network operators in the PRC, China Mobile Communications Corporation and China United Telecommunications Corporation, which serve most of the PRC’s mobile subscribers. Such dominant market position limits the Company’s negotiating leverage with these network operators. If the Company’s various contracts with either network operator are terminated or adversely altered, it may be impossible to find appropriate replacement operators with the requisite licenses and permits, infrastructure and customer base to offer the services, and the business would be significantly impaired. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company derived 2.1% of its total revenue from mobile services and applications business, a substantial portion of which was derived using the networks of the mobile network operators.

Current Vulnerability due to Certain Concentrations

The Company’s operations may be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC. The PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for the past 20 years. However, the PRC government may discontinue or alter such policies especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC’s political, economic and social conditions. Additionally, the PRC government’s pursuit of economic reforms may not be consistent or effective.

The PRC has recently enacted new laws and regulations governing Internet access and the provision of online business, economic and financial information. Current or proposed laws aimed at limiting the use of online services to transmit certain materials could, depending upon their interpretation and application, result in significant potential liability to the Company, as well as additional costs and technological challenges in order to comply with any statutory or regulatory requirements imposed by such legislation. Additional legislation and regulations that may be enacted by the PRC government could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Renminbi (“RMB”) is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. On January 1, 1994, the PRC government abolished the dual rate system and introduced a single rate of exchange as quoted daily by the People’s Bank of China. However, the unification of the exchange rates does not imply the convertibility of RMB into U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the People’s Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts. At December 31, 2006 and 2007, the Company had RMB-denominated currency holdings amounting to $25,981 and $14,339, respectively.

19. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

CDC Corporation

2005 Stock Incentive Plan

On November 4, 2005, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”). The purpose of the 2005 Plan is to make available incentives, including alternatives to stock options, that will assist the Company to attract and retain key employees and to encourage them to increase their efforts to promote the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. These incentives include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted unit awards, performance shares and performance cash. During 2007, options for the purchase of an additional 10 million shares were approved by the shareholders of the Company, which increased the options available for grants for the purchase of shares to 30 million.

Subject to adjustments under certain conditions, the maximum aggregate number of Class A Common Shares (“Shares”) which may be issued pursuant to all awards under the 2005 Plan is the aggregate number of Shares available for future grants and Shares subject to awards which expire or are cancelled or forfeited under the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”). As of December 31, 2007, of the 30 million Shares reserved for grant under the 1999 Plan, 10,674,176 Shares remain available for future grant, and there are 12,822,678 Shares to be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options under the 1999 Plan. The 2005 Plan is administered by a committee of the Board of Directors, which will determine, at its discretion, the number of shares subject to each option granted and the related exercise price and option period.

1999 Plan

The Company’s 1999 Plan was replaced by the 2005 Plan described above. Upon adoption of the 1999 Plan, 12 million Shares were reserved for issuance to employees of, consultants and advisors to the Company and its subsidiaries. During 2000, options for the purchase of an additional 8 million Shares were made available, which increased the options available for grants for the purchase of Shares to 20 million. Options granted under the 1999 Plan vest ratably over a period of 1 to 4 years, and have terms of 10 years.

On December 29, 2005, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved the acceleration of vesting of certain unvested and “out of the money” stock options with exercise prices equal to or greater than $3.50 per share which were previously awarded to employees, including executive officers and directors, under the 1999 Plan. The acceleration was effective as of December 29, 2005. Options to purchase approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock, or 37 % of the Company’s outstanding unvested options, were subject to the acceleration. The options had a range of exercise prices of $3.79 to $7.38 and a weighted average exercise price of $4.32. The purpose of the acceleration was to enable the Company to avoid recognizing compensation expense associated with these options upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R) in January 2006. The Company also believed that because the options that were accelerated had exercise prices in excess of the current market value of the Company’s common stock, the options had limited economic value and were not fully achieving their original objective of employee retention and incentive compensation.

The Company accounts for stock appreciation rights in accordance with SFAS 123(R). Stock appreciation rights are settled in shares and have similar characteristics as stock options. The Company issued no stock appreciation rights in 2005, and it issued 2,878,000 and 1,466,892 in 2006 and 2007, respectively. Included in the number of options are 2,789,002 stock appreciation rights outstanding at December 31, 2007.

Compensation expense charged to operations during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, relating to stock options and stock appreciation rights was $3,902 and $5,426, respectively.

Management estimated the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant or modification using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected share price volatility and average expected term. The main inputs into the model are estimated by management based on historical performance and management’s expectations of future results on the date of grant or modification. The fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of grant or modification using the following weighted average assumptions:

2004 Employee Share Purchase Plan

During 2004, the Company established and implemented an employee share purchase plan, which qualified as a non-compensatory plan under Section 423 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The plan allows qualified employees to purchase Class A common shares during the relevant six-month plan period. Qualifying employees are allowed to purchase up to 1,000 Class A common shares for each plan period. The maximum number of Class A common shares, issuable under the plan is 2,000,000, and a maximum of 300,000 shares will be available for issuance during each plan period. Compensation expense charged to operations during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, relating to the employee share purchase plan was $324 and $454.

China.com Inc.

The Company’s China.com Inc. subsidiary is registered on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“GEM”) and maintains certain stock-based compensation plans in addition to those maintained by the Company. China.com Inc. adopted a pre-IPO share option plan (the “Pre-IPO Plan”) and post-IPO share option plan (the “Post-IPO Plan”) on February 25, 2000, which will remain in force for 10 years. On April 30, 2002, China.com Inc. adopted a 2002 share option plan (the “2002 Plan”) which has an option life of 10 years. The Pre-IPO Plan and the Post-IPO Plan were operated for the purpose of recognizing the contributions of certain directors, employees, consultants and advisors of China.com Inc. and employees of the Company to the growth of China.com Inc. and/or the listing of shares of China.com Inc. on the GEM, while the 2002 Plan was operated for providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of China.com Inc.’s operations. Eligible participants of the Pre- IPO Plan and the Post-IPO Plan include China.com Inc.’s directors, consultants and advisors of China.com Inc., and employees of China.com Inc. The eligible participants of the 2002 Plan include China.com Inc.’s directors, full-time and part-time employees, advisors, consultants, vendors and suppliers of China.com Inc. and employees of the Company (as defined in the 2002 Plan).

The maximum number of shares which can be granted under the Pre-IPO Plan and the Post-IPO Plan must not exceed 10% of the issued share capital of China.com Inc. as at the date of listing of the shares on the GEM. For the 2002 Plan, the maximum number of shares which can be granted must not exceed 10% of the issued shares of China.com Inc. at the date of approval of such plan. At December 31, 2007, the number of shares issuable under the Pre-IPO Plan, the Post-IPO Plan and the 2002 Plan was 11,980,000, 1,279,012 and 340,899,322, respectively, which represented

approximately 8.08% in aggregate of China.com Inc.’s shares in issue at that date. Pursuant to the Pre-IPO Plan and the Post-IPO Plan (the “Plans”), no participant shall be granted an option which, if accepted and exercised in full, would result in such participant’s maximum entitlement exceeding 25% of the aggregate number of shares of China.com Inc. subject to the Plans. The maximum number of shares issuable as share options to each eligible participant in the 2002 Plan in any 12-month period up to and including the date of the grant to such participant shall not exceed 1% of the issued share capital of China.com Inc. from time to time. Any further grant of options in excess of this 1% limit must be subject to shareholders’ approval with that participant and associates abstaining from voting.

Share options granted to a director, chief executive, management shareholder or substantial shareholder of China.com Inc., or to any of their associates, are subject to approval in advance by the independent non-executive directors. In addition, any share options granted to a substantial shareholder or an independent non-executive director of China.com Inc., or to any of their associates, in excess of 0.1% of the shares of China.com Inc. in issue at any time or with an aggregate value (based on the closing price of China.com Inc.’s shares at the date of the grant) in excess of $641, within any 12-month period, are subject to shareholders’ approval in advance in a general meeting.

The offer of a grant of share options under the Plans must be accepted within 14 days from the date of the offer, upon payment of a nominal consideration of $.0001 in total by the grantee. For the 2002 Plan, the offer of a grant of share options must be accepted within 7 days from the date of the offer upon payment of a nominal consideration of $.0001 in total by the grantee. The exercise period of the share options granted is determinable by the directors. However, for the Plans, each of the grantees of the options is not allowed to exercise in aggregate in excess of 25%, 50% and 75% of shares comprised in the options granted within the first, second and third years from one year after the date of grant of options, respectively. All option shares must be exercised within 10 years from the date of grant of options.

The exercise price for the Pre-IPO Plan is determined by the final Hong Kong dollar price per share at which the shares are subscribed pursuant to the placing of 640,000,000 shares by China.com Inc. to professional and institutional investors and other persons made on the terms of the prospectus issued by China.com Inc. on 28th February, 2000 ($0.24 per share).

The exercise prices of the Post-IPO Plan and the 2002 Plan share options are determinable by the directors, but may not be less than the higher of (i) the closing price of China.com Inc.’s shares on the Stock Exchange on the date of grant of the share options; (ii) the average Stock Exchange closing price of China.com Inc.’s shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the grant of the share options; and (iii) the nominal value of the share.

The share options do not confer rights on the holders to dividends or to vote at shareholders’ meetings.

At December 31, 2007, the remaining life of the Plans is two years and two months, and the remaining life of the 2002 Plan is four years and four months.

Compensation expense charged to operations during the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, relating to stock options was $3,474 and $2,568. As of December 31, 2007, China.com Inc. had unrecognized compensation expense of $1,131 before taxes, related to stock option awards. The unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a total weighted average period of 0.8 years.

The fair value of options that vested during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, was not significantly different than the amount of stock compensation expense that was charged to operations during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, or that would have been charged to operations during the year ended December 31, 2005, under SFAS 123(R) as disclosed within Note 2. Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, were $1,143, $1 and $180, respectively.

Management estimated the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant or modification using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected share price volatility and average expected term. The main inputs into the model are estimated by management based on historical performance and management’s expectations of future results on the date of grant or modification.

CDC Software Corporation (“CDC Software”)

During 2007, the Company approved the 2007 CDC Software Stock Incentive Plan (“2007 Software Plan”). The purpose of the 2007 Software Plan is to make available incentives that will assist CDC Software in attracting and retaining key employees and to encourage them to increase

their efforts to promote the business of CDC Software and the business of its subsidiaries. These incentives include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted unit awards, performance shares and performance cash. The 2007 Software Plan is administered by the compensation committee appointed by the CDC Software board of directors, which determines, at its discretion, the persons to whom and the times at which awards are granted, the types and sizes of such awards, all award terms and conditions, and the related exercise price and option period.

Subject to adjustments under certain conditions, the maximum aggregate number of Class A Common Shares of CDC Software (“CDC Software Shares”) that may be issued pursuant to all awards under the 2007 Plan is 3,750,000. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the compensation committee granted an aggregate of 2,100,000 options to purchase CDC Software Shares. The options will vest in equal installments on a quarterly basis over the three-year period immediately following the consummation of an initial public offering of CDC Software Shares, and have an expiration date on the seventh anniversary of the date of grant.

Since all of the option grants made during 2007 are contingent upon the consummation of an initial public offering, none of the options are exercisable at December 31, 2007 nor has any related stock-based compensation expense been recorded as of December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2007, CDC Software had unrecognized compensation expense relating to the 2007 Plan of Nil before taxes, related to stock option awards. Upon consummation of an initial public offering, CDC Software expects to recognize any compensation expense over a weighted average period of 3 years.

20. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

IMI, a subsidiary of the Company acquired in 2003, provides retirement benefits for substantially all employees in the U.S. and in foreign locations. In the U.S., the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, IMI sponsors defined contribution plans. In addition, IMI’s Swedish subsidiary (“IMAB”) has a supplemental defined contribution plan for certain key management employees. Contributions by IMI relating to its defined contribution plans for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, amounted to $978, $2,611 and $2,280, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, defined contribution retirement plans expenses totaled $2,148, $2,122 and $1,497, respectively.

IMAB also participates in several employee benefit plans (non-contributory for employees) which cover substantially all employees of its Swedish operations. The plans are in accordance with a nationally-agreed standard plan administered by a national organization, Pensionsregisteringsinstitute (“PRI”). These plans have been frozen and moved to the Swedish government for administration and distribution. Benefits are not paid by IMAB, but by the Swedish government. The level of benefits and actuarial assumptions used to account for these pension plans are calculated and established by the PRI and are solely based on the fully funded value of the predetermined pension payoff amount that was prescribed when the plans were transferred to the Swedish government during 2001. Accordingly, IMAB will not change benefit levels or actuarial assumptions. In addition, since the actuarial assumptions are not disclosed to IMAB, no such disclosure is provided herein. The Company accounts for pensions in accordance with SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”, SFAS No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (Revised)” (“SFAS 132(R)”) and SFAS 158. During 2006, the Company paid $1,336 to satisfy the remaining liability under the IMI Benefit Plan and has subsequently been released from making future contributions to PRI related to this benefit plan.

The net periodic benefit cost for IMAB’s defined benefit pension plans in Sweden includes the following components:

21. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

Contingencies

Class Action Lawsuit. A class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s securities between July 12, 1999 (the date of the Company’s IPO) and December 6, 2000, inclusive. The complaint charges the Company and the underwriters in the Company’s IPO with violations of Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint alleges that the prospectus used in the Company’s IPO was materially false and misleading because it failed to disclose, among other things, that (i) the underwriters had solicited and received excessive and undisclosed commissions from certain investors, in exchange for which the underwriters allocated to those investors material portions of the restricted numbers of the Company’s shares issued in connection with the IPO; and (ii) the underwriters had entered into agreements with customers whereby the underwriters agreed to allocate the Company’s shares to those customers, in exchange for which the customers agreed to purchase additional shares in the aftermarket at pre-determined prices.

In June 2003, the plaintiffs in the consolidated IPO class action lawsuits currently pending against the Company and over 300 other issuers who went public between 1998 and 2000, announced a proposed settlement with the Company and the other issuer defendants. The proposed settlement provides that the insurers of all settling issuers would guarantee that the plaintiffs recover $1,000 from non-settling defendants, including the investment banks that acted as underwriters in those offerings. In the event that the plaintiffs do not recover $1,000, the insurers for the settling issuers will make up the difference. Under the proposed settlement, the maximum amount that could be charged to the Company’s insurance policy in the event that the plaintiffs recovered nothing from the investment banks would be approximately $3,900. The Company believes that it has sufficient insurance coverage to cover the maximum amount that the Company may be responsible for under the proposed settlement. The independent members of the Board of Directors approved the proposed settlement at a meeting held in June 2003. As of March 2005, outside counsel advised that the court has granted preliminary approval of the settlement, subject to certain conditions. In August 2005, the court preliminarily approved the settlement. In December 2006, the appellate court overturned the certification of classes in the six test cases that were selected by the underwriter defendants and plaintiffs in the coordinated proceedings (the action involving the Company is not one of those test cases). On June 25, 2007, the court entered an order terminating the proposed settlement based on a stipulation among the parties to the settlement. Plaintiffs have filed amended master allegations and amended complaints and moved for class certification in the six test cases, which the defendants in those cases have opposed. On March 26, 2008, the court largely denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaints in the six test cases. It is uncertain whether there will be any revised or future settlement. If the litigation proceeds, the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to plaintiffs’ claims and intends to defend the action vigorously.

ManTech International Corporation and ManTech Australia International Inc. In October 2005, ManTech International Corporation and ManTech Australia International Inc, filed a civil action against our subsidiaries CDC Australia Limited and CDC Australia (Praxa) Pty Ltd (collectively, “CDC Australia”), alleging that CDC Australia failed to pay $4,384 that was retained as part of the consideration for the acquisition of Praxa Limited. In late 2005, CDC Australia filed and served a request for further and better particulars of the statement of claim and a request for the filing of security of costs. The plaintiffs have answered the requests for further and better particulars, and further directions as to the conduct of the action were given by the Court soon after plaintiff made payment of security for costs in January 2007. The parties are engaging in discovery and interrogatories under a new timetable, and other preliminary procedural steps through early 2008 have been set. At a hearing held in February 2008, plaintiffs filed and served answers to defendants’ interrogatories and a directions hearing was scheduled for March 2008. Plaintiffs have now

(in thousands U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

requested additional discovery. The Company believes that the $4,384 was rightfully retained by CDC Australia in accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement, and the action is without merit. The Company intends to vigorously defend such action. Management of the Company considers the outcome of any judgment on the lawsuit with respect to the Company to be uncertain and the amount of any expenditure from the lawsuit is not estimable.

Lam, Po Chiu Mark. In December 2003, Mr. Mark Lam filed a civil action in the High Court of Hong Kong against our subsidiary Ion Global (BVI) Limited alleging breach of contract in relation to a put option agreement under a share purchase agreement in an amount of $742. Pleadings closed in April 2004 when Mr. Lam filed his reply to the defense filed by Ion Global. The case was largely dormant until late 2005 when the plaintiff sought and was granted leave to amend his statement of claim and to join CDC Corporation, our parent company, as a party. CDC Corporation was joined in July 2006. In January 2007, Mr. Lam also joined a member of our board of directors, Mr. Peter Yip, to the proceedings. An amended statement of claim and an amended defense have been filed by the plaintiff and defendants, respectively. Management considers the outcome of any judgment in this matter to be uncertain and the amount of any expenditure from this matter is not estimable. The Company believes that this action is without merit and intend to vigorously defend such action.

Marjorie Fudali. In June 2003, Majorie Fudali (“Fudali”) filed a civil action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against Pivotal Corporation, alleging that she was owed commission in the amount of $423 plus override commissions under a compensation plan allegedly agreed between her and a former senior executive of Pivotal, and wages under District of Columbia wage laws. In early 2004, Pivotal’s motion to dismiss the wage law claim was granted. In July 2004, Fudali amended her claim to add a promissory estoppel ground. In August 2004, Pivotal filed a motion for summary judgment, which was denied by the Court, ruling that factual disputes existed, which should be resolved at trial. Shortly before the jury trial which was scheduled to occur in January 2007, Fudali alleged that new facts came into light and amended her damages claim to $2,276. As a result, the jury trial was adjourned. The jury trial took place in October 2007, and a verdict against Pivotal was returned. The Court ordered Fudali to provide a calculation of the amount that Fudali believes she may be entitled to based on the verdict. Fudali has provided two alternative calculations, in the amounts of $1,940 and $1,783. Pivotal has challenged those calculations and is awaiting a hearing and the Court's decision on the amount. The Company accrued Nil and $750 at December 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Leedy. In August 2002, Mr. Jason Leedy filed a civil action against Vis.align. LLC, which became our subsidiary in December 2006. Mr. Leedy has alleged that his employment with Vis.align LLC had been wrongfully terminated, and severance pay and other amounts were owing to him, and sought damages in the amount of $257. After a jury trial in which a verdict favorable to Mr. Leedy was returned, the Court entered judgment in the amount of $357, which included $100 in attorney’s fees and costs. Vis.align. LLC has appealed to the Pennsylvania Superior Court. In September 2006, the Superior Court ordered that the judgment below based on the jury verdict be vacated, and that judgment be entered in favor of Vis.align LLC notwithstanding the verdict. In November 2006, the Superior Court granted Mr. Leedy's petition for rehearing en banc and withdrew its September 2006 decision. In March 2008, an evenly divided Superior Court issued two opinions, one in support of reversal of the trial court and one in affirmance of the trial court. As the Superior Court was evenly split, the trial court’s decision was affirmed by default, leaving the defendants liable for approximately $433. A petition requesting review by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court was filed in April 2008 and remains pending.

Asian Media Company Limited. Optic Communications Co., Ltd received an arbitration claim of approximately $586 from Asian Media Company Limited claiming damages related to an alleged breach of contract under an undated 3-party agreement among Guangzhou Optic Communications Co., Ltd, Asian Media Company Limited and Changchun YaAo Resources Development Company Limited. The Company intends to vigorously defend such action. Management of the Company considers the outcome of this matter with respect to the Company to be uncertain and the amount of any expenditure from this matter is not estimable.

Chan. In March 2007, the Company filed suit against Steven Chan (“Chan”) and Bing Corporation (“Bing”), alleging that Chan and Bing illegally obtained option shares in CDC Corporation. In April 2008, Chan and Bing filed a cross-complaint against CDC Corporation and CDC Corporation Ltd. alleging breach of an oral contract and various tortious claims including interference with the exercise of purported options, and defamation. Chan and Bing currently allege damages: (i) in excess of $1,000 arising from alleged inability to exercise stock options at more favorable dates, (ii) in excess of $200 for various payments alleged to be due to Chan and/or Bing, and (iii) unspecified damages for libel.

Pure Biosciences. In June 2007, Pure Biosciences (“Pure”) filed a complaint in the Southern District of California asserting claims for breach of contract, breach of express warranty, breach of implied warranty of merchantability, breach of the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, and rejection of goods and/or revocation of acceptance related to a Software License and Professional Services Agreement and related Statement of Work and Master Work Order Pure entered into with Ross in March. In August 2007, Ross filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Pure did not respond to Ross's motion, but instead filed an amended complaint in October 2007. In November 2007, Ross filed a second motion to dismiss, and in an order dated April 4, 2008, the Court granted Ross’s motion without prejudice. Pure filed its Second Amended Complaint In May 2008 asserting claims for breach of contract, breach of express warranty, and rejection of goods/revocation of acceptance and seeking attorney’s fees and damages of at least $159. Ross filed its third motion to dismiss in May 2008, arguing that Pure still failed to adequately allege that the software failed to conform to the terms of the parties’ License Agreement or the express warranty it contains and that Pure cannot state a claim based on alleged pre-contractual marketing statements because the License Agreement contains a merger clause. Pure filed its response in June 2008, and Ross’s reply is due June 23, 2008. The Company cannot predict when the final resolution of this litigation will occur, and it is not possible to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss with respect to this matter.

William McKenna (“McKenna”). In November 2007, McKenna filed a civil action in the District Court of Denver County, Colorado, against the Company’s subsidiary, CDC Software, Inc. alleging he was terminated from his position as a sales account executive in violation of public policy, based on his refusal to engage in allegedly improper sales practices. McKenna is seeking compensatory damages in an unspecified amount, damages for emotional distress and exemplary damages. In January 2008, the Company removed the case from the Colorado State Court to the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado and thereafter filed an answer, defenses and asserted a counterclaim alleging a breach of McKenna's Proprietary Information Agreement with the Company. In addition, the Company filed a motion to transfer venue of this case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. In February 2008, McKenna filed an answer to the Company's counterclaim, and the Company was notified that McKenna's attorney requested permission to withdraw from the case. McKenna hired new counsel, who filed a response in opposition to the Company's motion to transfer and moved to amend the Complaint to add a cause of action for alleged violations of the Colorado Wage Claim Act. The Company filed a reply in support of its motion to transfer in April 2008, and the parties are now waiting for the Court to rule on that motion. Later in April 2008, the Company filed a response in opposition to McKenna's motion to amend, and McKenna filed a reply in early May 2008, and the United States Magistrate Judge issued a written opinion recommending that the District Court Judge grant McKenna's motion to amend, and the Company filed Objections later in May 2008. The parties have recently propounded written discovery. The Company cannot predict when the final resolution of this litigation will occur, and it is not possible to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or to estimate the amount or range of potential loss with respect to this matter.

Triton IP LLC. In April 2008, Triton IP, LLC filed a claim in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against defendants NetSuite, Inc., CDC Corporation and CDC Software Inc. alleging that our MarketFirst software infringed a patent owned by Triton through assignment. The plaintiff is seeking a permanent injunction against defendants, damages, costs, expenses, interest, attorneys' fees and other restitutional remedies. The Company intends to vigorously defend such action. Management of the Company considers the outcome of this matter with respect to the Company to be uncertain and the amount of any expenditure from this matter is not estimable.

Vertical Computer Systems, Inc./NOW Solutions LLC (“Vertical” or “NOW”). In February 2003, Vertical Computer Systems (on behalf of itself and on behalf of NOW Solutions) filed a civil action in the state court in New York, New York, against the Company’s subsidiary Ross Systems, Inc. and others alleging, among other things, breach of contract, claims under contractual indemnifications and fraud arising from the February 2001 sale of assets from Ross’s HR/Payroll division to NOW Solutions. The action sought $5,000 in damages. In April 2003, Ross filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, which was granted in November 2003. The plaintiff appealed and its appeal was granted in October 2004. The matter was remanded to the trial court for adjudication. In May 2006, both Vertical and Ross filed a summary judgment motions against each other. In November 2006, the Court denied these summary motions, finding that factual issues existed to be resolved at trial. In March 2004, the Company’s subsidiary Ross filed a separate civil action against NOW in state court in New York, New York seeking payment of the final $750 installment due under a promissory note executed by NOW in connection with the February 2001 HR/Payroll division asset sale. In November 2004, NOW asserted counterclaims against Ross raising the same contractual issues asserted in the Vertical v. Ross action, as well as additional contractual claims related to the 2001 asset sale, seeking a total of approximately $15,000 in damages. In December 2004, Ross filed a motion to dismiss certain of the counterclaims, which the Court granted in February 2005, thereby reducing the total damages being sought in NOW’s counterclaims to approximately $5,000. In May 2006, Ross filed a motion for partial summary judgment that was granted in part. A jury trial of both the Vertical v. Ross and Ross v. NOW actions took place in March and April 2007 following which the Court directed certain verdicts in favor of NOW, and certain verdicts in favor of Ross. In September 2007, the Court entered a final judgment against Ross in the amount of $1,300 in damages, $900 in attorney’s fees and costs, and $900 in pre-judgment interest, for a total judgment against Ross of $3,150. In November 2007, Ross filed a Notice of Appeal, thereby commencing its appeal from the Court’s trial rulings. In February 2007, NOW Solutions, Inc, the alleged successor-by-merger to NOW Solutions, LLC, filed an action in the state court in New York, New York, against Ross, although Ross has yet been served with the Complaint. In this action, NOW Solutions, Inc. asserts claims for breach of contract and attorney’s fees based upon facts similar to those in the above action, seeking $4,100 in damages. The Company believes that this action filed in February 2007 is duplicative of the claims that have already been litigated through trial as referred to above, and is without merit, and the Company intends to vigorously defend the same. The Company accrued $300, $2,900 and $3,211 at December 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

Sunshine Mills. In May 2008, Sunshine Mills, Inc., a customer of CDC Software, filed a claim in the Circuit Court of Franklin County, Alabama alleging [breach of contract] and other causes of action. The Company intends to vigorously defend such action. Management of the Company considers the outcome of this matter with respect to the Company to be uncertain and the amount of any expenditure from this matter is not estimable.

Mgame Corporation (“Mgame”). In December 2003, the Company entered into its original game license agreement with Mgame for Yulgang. This agreement was subsequently supplemented in June 2004 to extend the term of the Company’s license for Yulgang to December 2007 and provide a 21% royalty on the Company’s revenue derived from Yulgang to Mgame.

Furthermore, in March 2007, the Company entered into an additional supplementary agreement with Mgame pursuant to which the Company extended its exclusive license to Yulgang in China (excluding Hong Kong) through 2010.

On October 17, 2007, Mgame unilaterally announced that they terminated their agreements with CDC Games, alleging breach of contract for non-payment. In October 2007, the Company filed two lawsuits against Mgame alleging breach of contract and that Mgame was not providing adequate technical support for Yulgang, and that Mgame was not supporting CDC Games in its efforts to combat pirate servers. The Company subsequently filed a second lawsuit alleging that Mgame breached contractual obligations owed to it by failing to provide certain financial and operating data and other information which Mgame is required to provide to the Company as a shareholder of Mgame.

Following the announcement of the Company’s disputes with Mgame in October 2007 and until such time as it resolved these disputes in March 2008, revenues generated by Yulgang declined significantly.

In March 2008, the Company settled its disputes with Mgame by entering into an Amended and Restated Exclusive Game License Agreement and Settlement Agreement. Under these settlement agreements, CDC Games received exclusive distribution rights to Yulgang in China until March 2010 with an option to extend for an additional year. CDC Games also agreed to work together with Mgame to launch a Version 2.0 upgrade to Yulgang as soon as possible following the settlement. In addition, the settlement agreements provided that the Company’s license fee payable to Mgame would be increased to $4,500 of which $4,000 of would be paid by the Company in the form of shares of Mgame held by the Company. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay royalty payments equal to 25% of revenues in months where revenues are less than $2,000 and 28% in months where revenues are greater than $2,000, and agreed to terminate the game license agreement with Mgame pursuant to which it received the exclusive right to distribute Wind Forest Fire Mountain, or WFFM, a combat MMORPG developed by Mgame.

23. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Discontinuation of MVAS Operations. In February 2008, the Company announced that China.com Inc., a 77% owned subsidiary of the Company, would be discontinuing its MVAS operations. China.com has since discontinued these operations, due to the challenging regulatory environment related to the MVAS business in China.

Integrated Solutions Limited (“ISL”). In March 2008, the Company announced that it had completed its acquisition of a 51 percent stake in Integrated Solutions Limited (ISL), a Hong Kong-based vendor of ERP systems designed for small and medium-sized discrete manufacturers in China. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid approximately $764 at closing for such majority interest in ISL.

Investment in Tenly Software. In April 2008, CDC Software, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company announced that it signed a binding term sheet to acquire a 22 percent stake in Tenly Software, a leading provider of business intelligence solutions in China. The term sheet also provides CDC Software with the option to increase its stake in Tenly to approximately 37 percent, and upon completion of the initial investment, provide CDC Software with the right to appoint one representative to Tenly's board of directors. The two companies also intend to form a joint venture in which CDC Software is expected to provide implementation services and support for Tenly customers and Tenly is expected to sell CDC Software solutions to its customer base. The parties intend that CDC Software will hold a 60 percent interest, and Tenly, a 40 percent stake in this joint venture.

Agreement and Proposal for Amendment of Promissory Note Terms; Prior Event of Default and Subsequent Cure Related to $168,000 Convertible Notes. In April 2008, CDC Games Corporation (“CDC Games”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and China.com Capital Ltd. (“CCL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of China.com Inc., a 77% owned subsidiary of the Company (“China.com”) entered into an agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) for the purpose of: (i) extending the maturity date of a promissory note in the principal amount of $60,000 by and between CDC Games and CCL (the “Promissory Note”) from the initial maturity date of June 28, 2008 (the “Maturity Date”) to June 28, 2010, and (ii) including the Company as a guarantor of the Promissory Note.

The effectiveness of the Modification Agreement was conditioned upon China.com obtaining the approval of its minority shareholders (the “Minority Shareholders”). At an

(in thousands U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

extraordinary general meeting (“EGM”) of China.com held on May 27, 2008, the Minority Shareholders, by way of poll, rejected the proposal to ratify the Modification Agreement. As a result, the Modification Agreement lapsed automatically and did not become effective.

In June 2008, the Company determined that the execution of the Modification Agreement had constituted an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Convertible Notes) under the terms of those certain 3.75% Senior Exchangeable Convertible Notes due 2011 issued by the Company in November 2006 for the aggregate principal amount of $168,000 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes provide that, following an Event of Default, payment of all or a portion of any amounts due thereunder may be accelerated and become due and payable immediately upon delivery of a written notice of acceleration to the Company (an “Acceleration Notice”), unless such Event of Default shall have been cured by the Company prior to the delivery of such Acceleration Notice. Accordingly, for the period from April 2, 2008 through May 27, 2008 (the date upon which the Minority Shareholders disapproved of the Modification Agreement and it lapsed automatically), any or all of the Convertible Notes could have been called by the Noteholders and become due and payable immediately. However, the Company did not receive any written Acceleration Notice from any of the Noteholders during this period as required under the Convertible Notes. Therefore, the lapsing of the Modification Agreement automatically cured the Event of Default that existed from April 2, 2008 through May 27, 2008 under the Convertible Notes, and under the express terms of the Convertible Notes none of the Noteholders has any current or continuing right to deliver an Acceleration Notice to the Company as a result of those past events. No adjustments have been made to the financial statements as a result of the occurrence of the Event of Default or the subsequent curing of such Event of Default.

Dividend from China.com Inc. On June 27, 2008, China.com declared and paid a cash dividend to its shareholders in the aggregated amount of $74,100. Of such amount, approximately $57,500 was paid to the Company and the remaining $16,600 was paid to the independent minority shareholders of China.com. On June 27, 2008, the Company transferred an aggregate of $64,500 to CDC Games. CDC Games subsequently paid CCL the entire balance of $64,500 of principal and interest due and payable under the Promissory Note.
