(the "Purchaser"), a PRC company that provides services to the telecommunication industry. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company agreed to sell (the "Subsidiary Sale") to the Purchaser all the equity interests the Company holds in its China based subsidiaries (except for SpreadZoom Technologies Co., Ltd. ("SpreadZoom") as mentioned below), which include 100% of the outstanding equity interest of Ever Elite Corporation Limited, an intermediary holding company incorporated in Hong Kong, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Beijing Nollec Wireless Company ("Nollec"), 80% of the outstanding equity interest of Tianjin Tongguang Group Digital Communication Company, Ltd. ("TCBD"), 100% of the outstanding equity interest of Profit Harvest Corporation, Ltd. ("Profit Harvest"), and 100% of the outstanding equity interest of Celestial Digital Entertainment, Ltd. ("CDE"). As consideration for the Subsidiary Sale, the Purchaser agreed to pay to the Company RMB 200 million (approximately US$31.7 million) (the "Prepaid Price"), subject to adjustment pending an appraisal by an independent third party appraiser. The Company on October 24, 2012 received approximately $12.6 million (RMB 80 million) less bank charges; the Company on November 5, 2012, received $19.1 million (RMB 120 million) less transaction fees and bank charges.

The RMB 80 million released from escrow was a negotiated amount between the Company and the Purchaser. Upon the final closing of the Subsidiary Sale, which will occur 30 days after the Company receives all the requisites corporate and regulatory approvals with respect to the Subsidiary Sale, the balance of the escrowed funds will be released to the Company.

The Company's ownership interest in SpreadZoom, which owns and operates mobile phone manufacturing facilities in Tianjin, is not included in the Subsidiary Sale.
