nil, 60,464,840 and 82,346,060 ordinary share equivalents, respectively,
outstanding that could have potential diluted income per share in
the
future, but that were excluded in the computation of diluted income

Payment,” effective on January 1, 2006. If the Company had applied the
fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) to prior periods,
it
would have reported net income of $2.4 million, $19.5 million and
$20.7

Wireless
Application Protocol (WAP).
WAP allows users to browse content on their mobile phones so that
users
can request and receive information in a manner similar to accessing
information on Internet websites using personal computers. We provide
our
WAP services primarily over China Mobile’s GPRS networks. Our WAP services
allow users to download color and animated pictures, logos and wallpaper,
interactive mobile games, customized ringtones and other Internet
content.
We launched WAP services in May 2002, but did not begin to receive
revenues for such services until September 2002, when China Mobile
began
to allow service providers to charge fees for WAP services.
|
· |
Multimedia
Messaging Services (MMS).
MMS is a messaging service that we deliver over GPRS networks and
that, in
the PRC, allows up to 50 kilobytes of data to be transmitted in a
single
message, compared to 140 bytes of data via SMS. As a result, MMS
enables
users to download colorful pictures and advanced ringtones. We launched
MMS services in October 2002, but did not begin to receive revenues
for
such services until April 2003, when China Mobile started to allow
service
providers to charge fees for MMS. Our monthly subscription services
automatically send information to users’ mobile phones, and include news,
beauty, celebrity photographs and special collectible items. Our
services
that can be downloaded on a single-transaction basis include pictures,
screensavers, ringtones and special sound
effects.
|
· |
Java™.
Java™ technology allows mobile phone users to play interactive and
networked mobile games, perform karaoke and download applications,
such as
screensavers and clocks, to customize their mobile phone settings.
We
launched services based on the Java™ programming language in September
2003, but did not begin to receive revenues for such services until
November 2003, when China Mobile started to allow service providers
to
charge fees for Java™ services.
|
· |
Short
Messaging Services (SMS).
SMS is the basic form of mobile messaging service, and is supported
by
substantially all mobile phone models currently sold. Users can receive

or
a monthly subscription basis. We launched and began receiving revenues
from SMS in July 2002.
|
· |
Interactive
Voice Response (IVR). Interactive
voice response services allow users to access voice content from
their
mobile phones, including music, chat, foreign-language instruction
and
novels. We launched and began receiving revenues from IVR services
in
December 2003.
|
· |
Color
Ring Back Tone (CRBT). Color
ring back tones allow a mobile phone user to customize the sound
that
callers hear when calling the user’s mobile phone. We offer a variety of
entertaining content, including pre-recorded messages, movie dialogues
and
soundtracks and a wide range of classical and popular music. We launched
and began receiving revenues from our CRBT services in October 2003.

|
· |
beginning
July 10, 2006, for any new monthly subscriptions to WVAS, China Mobile
sends customers two reminder notices prior to charging monthly
subscription fees in the customers’ monthly mobile phone bills, and
customers must confirm twice, once in response to each reminder,
that they
wish to subscribe to those services on a monthly basis. Previously,
China
Mobile sent one reminder notice immediately after a monthly subscription
order was placed, and customers needed to confirm only once;
|

provides customer services for us or an additional 35% when the China
Mobile operator provides a package of customer services, marketing
and
promotional services for us. In the case of China Unicom, China Telecom
and China Netcom, service fees are in the range of 15%-52%, varying
according to the service platform;

our

our
past experience, and
|
· |
our
verbal communications with the telecommunications operators.
|
· |
Late
notification of delinquent customers. The
telecommunications operators may from time to time classify certain
customers as delinquent customers for non-payment of services. The
telecommunications operators request all service providers to cease
delivering services to customers once they are classified as delinquent.
However, time lags often exist between when a customer is classified
as
delinquent and when we receive such information from the
telecommunications operators. As a result, we occasionally provide
services to these delinquent customers for which the telecommunications
operators will not make payments to
us.
|
· |
Customer
database out of synchronization.
Customers may cancel their subscriptions through the telecommunications
operators. Although we synchronize our and the telecommunications
operators’ databases of customer information on an ongoing basis, our
databases are not always completely in synchronization with those
of the
telecommunications operators. As a result, until our databases are
synchronized with those of the telecommunications operators, we could
provide services to customers who have cancelled their subscriptions,
for
which we are not entitled to receive
revenues.
|
· |
Duplicate
billing.
China Mobile typically generates system identification numbers to
identify
customers who use our WAP services, rather than directing the real
phone
numbers to us. Occasionally the platform operators inadvertently
generate
multiple identification numbers for one mobile number. In such case,
the
multiple bills for the multiple identification numbers have to be
eliminated from the monthly statement the telecommunications operators
provide to us.
|
· |
Delivery
failure.
When telecommunications operators send us delivery confirmations
within 72
hours of our delivery of value-added services, the confirmations
will
indicate three possible outcomes: success, failure, or unknown. Our
internal system recognizes successful confirmations as services provided.
As a result, there exist discrepancies between our records and the
monthly
statement provided by the telecommunications operators for confirmations
marked as “unknown” where our services were successfully delivered or
where the confirmation was
incorrect.
|
· |
Unbillable
users.
In 2005, certain provincial subsidiaries of China Mobile began to
offer
2.5G services to customers who receive mobile telephone services
on a
pre-paid basis. Such customers may subscribe to our services or download
our products, and our internal databases do not distinguish between
these
and other customers. However, the telecommunications operators do
not yet
have any means to bill these pre-paying customers for the WVAS that
they
receive. As a result, the telecommunications operators’ monthly statements
do not include fees for such users.
|
· |
we
are able to establish prices within ranges prescribed by the
telecommunications operators;
|
· |
we
determine the service specifications of the services we will be rendering;
and
|
· |
we
are able to control the selection of our content suppliers.
|
· |
The
number of future shares to be issued under these plans is not known;
and
|
· |
The
assumptions used to determine the fair value can vary
significantly.
|
· |
there
will be no major changes in the existing political, legal, fiscal
and
economic conditions in the PRC;
|
· |
except
for the new enterprise income tax law that took effect on January
1, 2008,
there will be no major changes in the current tax law in the PRC
and all
applicable laws and regulations will be complied
with;
|
· |
exchange
rates and interest rates will not differ materially from those presently
prevailing;
|
· |
each
reporting unit will retain and have competent management, key personnel,
and technical staff to support its ongoing
operations;
|
· |
the
annual revenue growth rate will be at the range of 9% to 15% and
the cost
and expense structure will remain consistent with historical trends
in the
coming four years, with reference to the overall and industry specific
economic conditions and trends, the historical financial performance
and
the up-to-date business
performance;
|
· |
the
availability of finance will not be a constraint on the forecasted
growth
of operations; and
|
· |
industry
trends and market conditions for related industries will not deviate
significantly from economic
forecasts.
