NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.	Organization and nature of operations

ChinaNet Online Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Emazing Interactive, Inc.), (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Texas in April 2006 and re-domiciled to become a Nevada corporation in October 2006. From the date of the Company’s incorporation until June 26, 2009, when the Company consummated the Share Exchange, the Company’s activities were primarily concentrated in web server access and company branding in hosting web based e-games.

On June 26, 2009, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), with (i) China Net Online Media Group Limited, a company organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands (“China Net BVI”), (ii) China Net BVI’s shareholders, Allglad Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Allglad”), Growgain Limited, a British Virgin Islands company ("Growgain"), Rise King Investments Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Rise King BVI”), Star (China) Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Star”), Surplus Elegant Investment Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Surplus”), Clear Jolly Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Clear” and together with Allglad, Growgain, Rise King BVI, Star and Surplus, the “China Net BVI Shareholders”), who together owned shares constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of China Net BVI (the “China Net BVI Shares”) and (iii) G. Edward Hancock, the principal stockholder of the Company at that time. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the China Net BVI Shareholders transferred to the Company all of the China Net BVI Shares in exchange for the issuance of 13,790,800 shares (the “Exchange Shares”) in the aggregate of the Company’s common stock (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, China Net BVI became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company is now a holding company, which engages in providing advertising, marketing and communication services to small and medium companies in China through www.28.com, (the portal website of the Company’s PRC operating subsidiary), TV media and bank kiosks, through certain contractual arrangements with operating companies in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, China Net BVI was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on August 13, 2007. On April 11, 2008, China Net BVI became the parent holding company of a group of companies comprised of CNET Online Technology Limited, a Hong Kong company (“China Net HK”), which established and is the parent company of Rise King Century Technology Development (Beijing) Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) established in the PRC (“Rise King WFOE”). The Company refers to the transactions that resulted in China Net BVI becoming an indirect parent company of Rise King WFOE as the “Offshore Restructuring.”

PRC regulations prohibit direct foreign ownership of business entities providing internet content, or ICP services in the PRC, and restrict foreign ownership of business entities engaging in advertisement business. In October 2008, a series of contractual arrangements (the “Contractual Agreements”) were entered between Rise King WFOE and Business Opportunity Online (Beijing) Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Business Opportunity Online”), Beijing CNET Online Advertising Co., Ltd. (“Beijing CNET Online”) (collectively the “PRC Operating Subsidiaries”) and its common individual owners (the “PRC Shareholders” or the “Control Group”). The Contractual Agreements allowed China Net BVI through Rise King WFOE to, among other things, secure significant rights to influence the PRC Operating Subsidiaries’ business operations, policies and management, approve all matters requiring shareholder approval, and the right to receive 100% of the income earned by the PRC Operating Subsidiaries. In return, Rise King WFOE provides consulting services to the PRC Operating Subsidiaries. In addition, to ensure that the PRC Operating Subsidiaries and the PRC Shareholders perform their obligations under the Contractual Arrangements, the PRC Shareholders have pledged to Rise King WFOE all of their equity interests in the PRC Operating Subsidiaries. They also entered into an option agreement with Rise King WFOE which provides that at such time that current restrictions under PRC law on foreign ownership of Chinese companies engaging in the Internet content, information services or advertising business in China are lifted, Rise King WFOE may exercise its option to purchase the equity interests in the PRC Operating Subsidiaries directly.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

At the time the above Contractual Agreements were signed, the controlling shareholder of China Net BVI was Rise King BVI, who holds 55% of the Company’s common stock. The sole registered shareholder of Rise King BVI, Mr. Yang Li, who owned 10,000 common stock of Rising King BVI, entered into slow-walk agreements with the Control Group individuals respectively, pursuant to which, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Control Group individuals had the option to purchase the 10,000 shares of Rise King BVI, (4,600 by Mr. Handong Cheng, 3,600 by Mr. Xuanfu Liu and 1,800 by Ms. Li Sun, acting as nominee for Mr. Zhang Zhige) owned by Mr. Yang Li, at a purchase price of US$ 1 per share (the par value of Rise King BVI’s common stock). Under the terms of the slow-walk agreement, the Control Group had the right to purchase the shares as follows: (1) one-third of the shares when China Net BVI and its PRC subsidiaries and affiliates (“the Group”) generates at least RMB 100,000,000 of the gross revenue for twelve months commencing from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009 (the “Performance Period I”); (2) one-third of the shares when the Group generates at least RMB 60,000,000 of the gross revenue for six months commencing from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010 (the “Performance Period II); (3) one-third of the shares when the Group generates at least RMB 60,000,000 of the gross revenue for six months commencing from July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 (the “Performance Period III”). In the event that the Group did not achieve the performance targets specified above, then the Control Group individuals could have exercised the Option at the Alternative Exercise Price (which was US$ 2 per share), on the date that the Acquisition was completed or abandoned. Each Control Group individual could have purchased one-third of the total number of shares that he or she was eligible to purchase under the slow-walk agreement upon the satisfaction of each condition described above.

The Control Group individuals also entered an Entrustment Agreement with Rise King BVI collectively, pursuant to which, based on the 55% equity interest held in the Group directly or indirectly, Rise King BVI entrusted the Control Group to manage the Group companies by irrevocably authorizing the Control Group to act on behalf of Rise King BVI, as the exclusive agents and attorneys with respect to all matters concerning Rise King BVI’s Shareholding, during the validity period of this Agreement, including the rights of attending the shareholders’ meeting; exercising all the shareholder’s rights and shareholder’s voting rights enjoyed by Rise King BVI under the laws and the articles of associations of the Company and each Group Companies, (collectively “the Group”) including without limitation voting for and making decisions on the increase or reduction of the authorized capital/registered capital, issuing company bonds, merger, division, dissolution, liquidation of the Group or change of Group’s type, amendment to the articles of association of the Group, designating and appointing the legal representatives (the chairman of the Board), directors, supervisors, general managers and other senior officers of the Group. The Control Group also agrees and confirms that each of them shall act in concert with one another when exercising all of their rights (including but not limited to the voting rights) authorized to them in this Agreement. The Entrustment Period commenced on the execution date of the agreement and was effective within a period of ten years, unless earlier terminated.

As described above, each of Mssrs. Handong Cheng, and Xuanfu Liu and Ms. Li Sun entered into Share Transfer Agreements (slow-walk agreement) with Mr. Yang Li, the sole shareholder of Rise King BVI, which beneficially owns an aggregate of 7,434,940 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (the “Subject Shares”). On March 30, 2011, pursuant to the terms of the Share Transfer Agreement, Ms. Li Sun transferred her right to acquire 18% of the shares of Rise King BVI under the Share Transfer Agreement to Mr. Zhige Zhang, the chief financial officer of the Company. On March 30, 2011, each of Mssrs. Handong Cheng, Xuanfu Liu and Zhige Zhang (the “PRC Persons”) exercised their right to purchase the outstanding stock of Rise King BVI. On the same date, the Entrustment Agreement originally entered into among Rise King BVI and the Control Group was terminated. As a result of these transactions, the ownership of Rise King BVI was transferred from Mr. Yang Li to the PRC Persons. Rise King BVI has sole voting and dispositive power over the Subject Shares. The PRC Persons may be deemed to share voting power over the shares as a result of their collective ownership of all of the outstanding stock of Rise King BVI.

Pursuant to the above Contractual Agreements, all of the equity owners' rights and obligations of the PRC Operating Subsidiaries were assigned to Rise King WFOE, which resulted in the equity owners lacking the ability to make decisions that have a significant effect on the PRC Operating Subsidiaries, and Rise King WFOE's ability to extract the profits from the operation of the PRC Operating Subsidiaries, and assume the residual benefits of the PRC Operating Subsidiaries. Because Rise King WFOE and its indirect parent are the sole interest holders of the PRC Operating Subsidiaries, the PRC Operating Subsidiaries are under common control with the Group, thus, China Net BVI consolidates the PRC Operating Subsidiaries from its inception, which is consistent with the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810 “Consolidation”, subtopic 10.

As a result of the Share Exchange on June 26, 2009, the former China Net BVI shareholders owned a majority of the common stock of the Company. The transaction was regarded as a reverse acquisition whereby China Net BVI was considered to be the accounting acquirer as its shareholders retained control of the Company after the Share Exchange, although the Company is the legal parent company. The share exchange was treated as a recapitalization of the Company. As such, China Net BVI (and its historical financial statements) is the continuing entity for financial reporting purposes. Following the Share Exchange, the company changed its name from Emazing Interactive, Inc. to ChinaNet Online Holdings, Inc. The financial statements have been prepared as if China Net BVI had always been the reporting company and then on the share exchange date, had changed its name and reorganized its capital stock.

As of the date of the Share Exchange, through the above Contractual Agreements, the Company operates its business in China primarily through Business Opportunity Online and Beijing CNET Online. Beijing CNET Online owns 51% of Shanghai Borongdingsi Computer Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Borongdingsi”). Business Opportunity Online, Beijing CNET Online and Shanghai Borongdingsi, were incorporated on December 8, 2004, January 27, 2003 and August 3, 2005, respectively.

Shanghai Borongdingsi is owned 51% by Beijing CNET Online. Beijing CNET Online and Shanghai Borongdingsi entered into a cooperation agreement in June 2008, followed up with a supplementary agreement in December 2008, to conduct bank kiosk advertisement business. The business is based on a bank kiosk cooperation agreement between Shanghai Borongdingsi and Henan provincial branch of China Construction Bank which allows Shanghai Borongdingsi or its designated party to conduct in-door advertisement business within the business outlets throughout Henan Province. The bank kiosk cooperation agreement has a term of eight years starting August 2008. However, Shanghai Borongdingsi was not able to conduct the advertisement as a stand-alone business due to the lack of an advertisement business license and supporting financial resources. Pursuant to the aforementioned cooperation agreements, Beijing CNET Online committed to purchase equipment, and to provide working capital, technical and other related support to Shanghai Borongdingsi. Beijing CNET Online owns the equipment used in the kiosk business, is entitled to sign contracts in its name on behalf of the business, and holds the right to collect the advertisement revenue generated from the bank kiosk business exclusively until the recovery of the cost of purchase of the equipment. Thereafter, Beijing CNET Online has agreed to distribute 49% of the succeeding net profit generated from the bank kiosk advertising business, if any, to the minority shareholders of Shanghai Borongdingsi.

On June 24, 2010, one of the Company’s PRC operating subsidiaries, Business Opportunity Online, together with three other individuals, who were not affiliated with the Company, formed a new company, Shenzhen City Mingshan Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Mingshan”). The registered capital and paid-in capital of Shenzhen Mingshan was RMB10,000,000 and RMB5,000,000, respectively. Shenzhen Mingshan is 51% owned by Business Opportunity Online and 49% owned collectively by the other three individuals. Shenzhen Mingshan is located in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province of the PRC and is primarily engaged in developing and designing of internet based software, online games and the related operating websites and providing related internet and information technology services necessary to operate such games and websites.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

As of June 30, 2011, the Company operated its business primarily in China through the above mentioned subsidiaries and investees. From time to time, the Company refers to them collectively as “PRC operating entities”.

2.	Summary of significant accounting policies

a)	Basis of presentation

The consolidated interim financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated interim financial information as of June 30, 2011 and for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have not been included. The interim consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, previously filed with the SEC.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2011, its consolidated results of operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

b)	Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of all the subsidiaries of the Company. All transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation. According to the agreements between Beijing CNET Online and Shanghai Borongdingsi, although Beijing CNET Online legally owns 51% of Shanghai Borongdingsi’s interests, Beijing CNET Online only controls the assets and liabilities related to the bank kiosks business, which has been included in the financial statements of Beijing CNET Online, but does not control other assets of Shanghai Borongdingsi, thus, Shanghai Borongdingsi’s financial statements were not consolidated by the Company.

c)	Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company continually evaluates these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, historical experience and various other assumptions that the Company believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

d)	Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts have been regrouped to conform to the current period presentation, which did not have any impact to the Company’s prior period’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows

e)	Foreign currency translation and transactions

The functional currency of the Company’s US holding company is United States dollars (“US$”), and the functional currency of China Net HK is Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”). The functional currency of the Company’s PRC operating subsidiaries is Renminbi (“RMB”), and PRC is the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company’s PRC operating subsidiaries, which are prepared using the RMB, are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, the United States Dollar (“U.S. dollar”). Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during each reporting period, and stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The resulting exchange differences are included in the determination of net income of the consolidated financial statements for the respective periods.

CHINANET ONLINE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into US$ for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010

Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts		6.4640		6.6118

	Six months ended June 30,
		2011		2010
Items in the statements of income and comprehensive income, and statements cash flows		6.5482		6.8347

	Three months ended June 30,
		2011		2010
Items in the statements of income and comprehensive income, and statements cash flows		6.5074		6.8335

No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be converted into US$ at the above rates.

f)	Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and bank deposits, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

g)	Restricted cash

Restricted cash consists of cash and cash equivalents which the Company has pledged to fulfill certain obligations and are not available for general corporate purposes.

h)	Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts as needed. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on aging data, historical collection experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company did not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure relating to its customers, suppliers or others.

i)	Investment in equity investment affiliates

Investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in accordance to ASC Topic 323 “Equity Method and Joint Ventures”. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the investee companies’ board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the investee companies. Under the equity method of accounting, an investee company’s accounts are not reflected within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and statements of income and comprehensive income; however, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee company is reflected in the caption “Share of earnings (losses) in equity investment affiliates” in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company’s carrying value (including loan to the investee) in equity method investee companies is reflected in the caption “Investment in and loan to equity investment affiliates” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

When the Company’s carrying value in an equity method investee company is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements unless the Company guaranteed obligations of the investee company or has committed additional funding. When the investee company subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized.

j)	Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method after taking into account their respective estimated residual values over the following estimated useful lives:

	Vehicles	5 years
	Office	3-5 years
	Electronic	5 years

Depreciation expenses are included in selling expenses, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses.

When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, resulting gain or loss is included in net income or loss in the year of disposition for the difference between the net book value and proceeds received thereon. Maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the expected useful lives of the assets are charged to expenses as incurred.

k)	Intangible assets, net

Purchased software is initially recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful economic life of three years.

Intangible assets other than goodwill acquired through various acquisitions (see Note 3) are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful economic lives.

If an acquired intangible asset is determined to have an indefinite useful life, it should not be amortized until its useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. The Company reviews intangible assets' remaining useful lives in each reporting period. If such an asset is later determined to have a finite useful life, the asset will be tested for impairment. That asset will then be amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life and accounted for in the same way as intangible assets subject to amortization.

The Company accounted for website development costs in accordance with ASC Topic 350-50, which requires that certain costs related to the development or purchase of internal-use software and systems as well as the costs incurred in the application development stage related to its website be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software or system. ASC Topic 350-50 also require that costs related to the preliminary project stage, data conversion and post implementation/operation stage of an internal-use software development project be expensed as incurred.

Based on the Company analysis of its website development cost which is subject to capitalization in accordance with ASC Topic 350-50 incurred for the development of www.liansuo.com and www.chuangye.com, the Company didn’t capitalize such cost, as the amount was considered immaterial, which was mainly the labor cost of its R&D staff of approximately US$35,000 in the aggregate.

l)	Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, which include tangible long-lived assets and intangible long-lived assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value.

For the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not record any impairment losses associated with long-lived assets.

F-13

CHINANET ONLINE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired as a result of the Company's acquisitions of interests in its subsidiaries.

Goodwill is not depreciated or amortized but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least on an annual basis, and between annual tests when an event occurs or circumstances change that could indicate that the asset might be impaired. The test consists of two steps. First, identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. Second, if there is impairment identified in the first step, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with Topic 805, “Business Combinations.”

Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. The judgment in estimating the fair value of reporting units includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and making other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit.

n)	Deconsolidation

The Company accounts for deconsolidation of a subsidiary in accordance with ASC Topic 810 “Consolidation”.

In accordance with ASC Topic 810-10-40-5, the parent shall account for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary by recognizing a gain or loss in net income attributable to the parent, measured as the difference between:

a. The aggregate of all of the following:

1. The fair value of any consideration received;

2. The fair value of any retained noncontrolling investment in the former subsidiary at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated;

3. The carrying amount of any noncontrolling interest in the former subsidiary (including any accumulated other comprehensive income attributable to the noncontrolling interest) at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated.

b. The carrying amount of the former subsidiary’s assets and liabilities.

o)	Changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary

The Company accounted for changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary in accordance with ASC Topic 805 Business Combination, subtopic 10, which requires the transaction be accounted for as equity transactions (investments by owners and distributions to owners acting in their capacity as owners). Therefore, no gain or loss shall be recognized in consolidated net income or comprehensive income. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest shall be adjusted to reflect the change in its ownership interest in the subsidiary. Any difference between the fair value of the consideration received or paid and the amount by which the noncontrolling interest is adjusted shall be recognized in equity attributable to the parent and reallocated the subsidiary’s accumulated comprehensive income, if any, among the parent and the noncontrolling interest through an adjustment to the parent’s equity.

p)	Revenue recognition

The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition”. In accordance with ASC Topic 605, revenues are recognized when the four of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the service has been rendered, (iii) the fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

F-14

CHINANET ONLINE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Sales include revenues from internet advertising generated from the Company’s portal websites, reselling of internet advertising spaces and other internet advertisement related resources purchased from other portal websites, reselling of advertising time purchased from TV stations and brand management and sales channel expansion services. No revenue from advertising-for-advertising barter transactions was recognized because the transactions did not meet the criteria for recognition in ASC Topic 605, subtopic 20. Advertising contracts establish the fixed price and advertising services to be provided. Pursuant to advertising contracts, the Company provides advertisement placements in different formats, including but not limited to banners, links, logos, buttons, rich media and content integration. Revenue is recognized ratably over the period the advertising is provided and, as such, the Company considers the services to have been delivered. The Company treats all elements of advertising contracts as a single unit of accounting for revenue recognition purposes. Based upon the Company’s credit assessments of its customers prior to entering into contracts, the Company determines if collectability is reasonably assured. In situations where collectability is not deemed to be reasonably assured, the Company recognizes revenue upon receipt of cash from customers, only after services have been provided and all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met.

q)	Cost of sales

Cost of sales primarily includes the cost of media advertising time, internet advertisement related resources and other technical services purchased, director labor cost and PRC business tax.

r)	Advertising costs

Advertising costs for the Company’s own brand building are not includable in cost of sales, they are expensed when incurred or amortized over the estimated beneficial period and are included in “selling expenses” in the statement of income and comprehensive income. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, advertising expenses for the Company’s own brand building were approximately US$1,019,000 and US$949,000, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, advertising expenses for the Company’s own brand building were approximately US$555,000 and US$697,000, respectively.

s)	Research and development expenses

Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred. Expenses for research and development for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were approximately US$724,000 and US$330,000, respectively. Expenses for research and development for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were approximately US$372,000 and US$196,000, respectively.

t)	Income taxes

The Company adopted ASC Topic 740 “Income taxes” and uses the liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income statement in the period that includes the enactment date.

u)	Uncertain tax positions

The Company adopted ASC Topic 740-10-25-5 through 740-10-25-7 and 740-10-25-13, which prescribes a more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions and did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

v)	Share-based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” which requires that share-based payment transactions be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument issued and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period, or vesting period.

F-15

CHINANET ONLINE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

w)	Noncontrolling interest

The Company accounts for noncontrolling interests in accordance with ASC Topic 810-10-45, which requires the Company to present noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) as a separate component of total shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated income and comprehensive income statement. ASC Topic 810-10-45 also requires that losses attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary be attributed to those interests even if it results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance.

x)	Comprehensive income

The Company accounts for comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

y)	Earnings / (loss) per share

Earnings / (loss) per share are calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Common shares issuable upon the conversion of the convertible preferred shares are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share on an “if-converted” basis when the impact is dilutive. The dilutive effect of outstanding common stock warrants is reflected in the diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method when the impact is dilutive.

z)	Commitments and contingencies

The Company has adopted ASC 450 “Contingencies” subtopic 20, in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies. Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability have been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred. If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.

aa)	Fair value measurements

The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, prepayment and deposits, accounts payable, advances from customers, accruals and other payables. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate fair values due to their short maturities.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

F-16

CHINANET ONLINE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.

bb)	Recent accounting pronouncements affecting the Company

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”, which is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations upon adoption.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has two options for presenting its total comprehensive income: to present total comprehensive income and its components along with the components of net income in a single continuous statement, or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in this ASU are required to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company intends to conform to the new presentation required in this ASU beginning with its Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations upon adoption.

3.	Acquisitions

In order to further diversify the channels of the Company’s advertisement and marketing campaign services, achieve an entry into Fujian Province, a base of fast growing small to medium enterprises and expand its market opportunities from franchises, dealerships and merchants looking to expand their businesses domestically in China, the Company acquired a 100% equity interest and a 51% equity interest in Quanzhou Zhi Yuan and Quanzhou Tian Xi Shun He, respectively. As described in Note 1, the acquisition of a 100% equity interest of Quanzhou Zhi Yuan and the acquisition of a 51% equity interest of Quanzhou Tian Xi Shun He were consummated on January 4, 2011 and February 23, 2011, respectively.

Each acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations”, and accordingly the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair values on the dates of acquisitions and the results of their operations have been included in the Company’s results of operations since the dates of their acquisitions.

The income approach is applied for identifiable intangible assets and noncontrolling interests’ valuation, based on a five-year financial projection and using the discounted cash flow method to calculate the present value of the future economic benefits. Key inputs used for such valuation include: weighted average cost of capital (“WPCC”), discount rate, and terminal growth rate. The income approach explicitly recognizes that the current value of an asset is premised upon the expected receipt of future economic benefits focusing on the income producing capability of a business or an asset. It measures the current value of a business or asset by calculating the present value of its future economic benefits such as earnings, cost savings, tax deduction, and proceeds from disposition. Indications of value are developed by discounting these benefits to their present value at a rate of return that incorporates the risk-free rate for the use of funds, the expected rate of inflation, and risk associated with the particular investment which reflects both current return requirements of the market and specific investment. The discount rate selected is generally based on rates of return available from alternative investments of similar type and quality as of each assessment date. The Monte Carlo simulation is applied for the valuation of contingent consideration. Contingent consideration arose from a term stipulated in the acquisition agreements with the sellers, which was that if pretax profit for 2012 and 2011 increases by less than 30% while compared to audited pretax profit of the prior year, the sellers need to compensate the acquirer for the difference between target pretax profit and actual result achieved then.

Goodwill recognized from these transactions mainly represented the expected operational synergies upon acquisition of these subsidiaries and intangibles not qualifying for separate recognition. Goodwill is nondeductible for income tax purpose in the tax jurisdiction of these acquisition transactions incurred.

Shenzhen Mingshan:

Shenzhen Mingshan was incorporated on June 24, 2010 by one of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, Business Opportunities Online and three other individuals who were not affiliated with the Company. Shenzhen Mingshan was 51% owned by the Company and was a consolidated subsidiary of the Company from the date of incorporation through January 6, 2011. On January 6, 2011, an independent third party investor invested RMB15,000,000 (approximately US$2,283,070) cash into Shenzhen Mingshan and hence obtained 60% equity interest of Shenzhen Mingshan. The Company’s share of equity interest then decreased from 51% to 20.4%. The carrying value of the investment to Shenzhen Mingshan immediately after the deconsolidation which was approximately US$381,000 was included in the balance sheet as investment in equity investment affiliates.

The deconsolidation of Shenzhen Mingshan was accounted for in accordance to ASC Topic 810 “Consolidation”. The Company recognized a gain of approximately US$229,000 upon deconsolidation of Shenzhen Mingshan, which has been recorded as a gain on deconsolidation of subsidiary in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the investment in Shenzhen Mingshan in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. This gain represents the excess of the fair value of the Company’s retained equity interest over its carrying value as of the date of deconsolidation.

The Company determined the estimated fair value of its retained equity interest in Shenzhen Mingshan based on the valuation of Shenzhen Mingshan used when an independent third party purchased equity in Shenzhen Mingshan, which purchase price was negotiated on an arm’s length basis. Under these circumstances, the Company estimated the fair value of their non-controlling interest based on the fair value of controlling interest purchased by the independent third party.

The Company applied the equity method of accounting prospectively from the date immediately after the deconsolidation. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized its pro-rata share of losses in Shenzhen Mingshan of approximately US$135,000 and US$72,000, respectively, which was reflected in the caption of “Share of earnings (losses) in equity investment affiliates” in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income with a corresponding decrease to the carrying value of the investment in Shenzhen Mingshan in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Therefore, the Company adjusted the difference between the cash consideration of RMB7,200,000 (approximately US$1,114,000) and the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest of Quanzhou Tian Xi Shun He RMB6,672,819 (approximately US$1,032,000) as of the date of the transaction consummated, which was approximately US$82,000 as a deduction of the Company’s equity through additional paid-in capital account. As of the date of the acquisition of the 49% remaining equity interest of Quanzhou Tian Xi Shun He, approximately US$20,000 other comprehensive income, which was foreign currency exchange gain, allocated to the noncontrolling interest of Quanzhou Tian Xi Shun He was reallocated to the Company’s equity, through additional paid-in capital account.

iv). The Company’s PRC operating subsidiaries, being incorporated in the PRC, are governed by the income tax law of the PRC and is subject to PRC enterprise income tax (“EIT”). Effective from January 1, 2008, the EIT rate of PRC was changed from 33% to 25%, and applies to both domestic and foreign invested enterprises.

Rise King WFOE is a software company qualified by the related PRC governmental authorities and was entitled to a two-year EIT exemption from its first profitable year and a 50% reduction of its applicable EIT rate, which is 25% of its taxable income for the exceeding three years. Rise King WFOE had a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 and its first profitable year is fiscal year 2009 which has been verified by the local tax bureau by accepting the application filed by the Company. Therefore, it was entitled to a two-year EIT exemption for fiscal year 2009 through fiscal year 2010 and a 50% reduction of its applicable EIT rate which is 25% for fiscal year 2011 through fiscal year 2013. Therefore, for the six month ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the applicable income tax rate for Rise King WFOE was 12.5% and nil%, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the applicable income tax rate for Rise King WFOE was also 12.5% and nil%, respectively.

However, in March 2007, a new enterprise income tax law (the “New EIT”) in the PRC was enacted which was effective on January 1, 2008. Subsequently, on April 14, 2008, relevant governmental regulatory authorities released new qualification criteria, application procedures and assessment processes for “High and New Technology Enterprise” status under the New EIT which would entitle the re-qualified and approved entities to a favorable statutory tax rate of 15%. With an effective date of September 4, 2009, Business Opportunity Online obtained the approval of its reassessment of the qualification as a “High and New Technology Enterprise” under the New EIT law and was entitled to a favorable statutory tax rate of 15%.

The current EIT Law provides grandfathering treatment for enterprises that were (1) qualified as High and New Technology Enterprises under the previous EIT laws, and (2) established before March 16, 2007, if they continue to meet the criteria for High and New Technology Enterprises under the current EIT Law. The grandfathering provision allows Business Opportunity Online to continue enjoying their unexpired tax holidays provided by the previous EIT laws and regulations. Therefore, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the applicable income tax rate for Business Opportunity Online was 15% and 7.5%, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the applicable income tax rate for Business Opportunity Online was also 15% and 7.5%, respectively.

26.	Changes in fair value of Warrant

The Company analyzed the Warrants issued in the August 2009 Financing in accordance to ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to determine whether the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC Topic 815 and if so, whether the Warrants meet the scope exception of ASC Topic 815, which is that contracts issued or held by the reporting entity that are both (1) indexed to its own stock and (2) classified in stockholders’ equity shall not be considered to be derivative instruments for purposes of ASC Topic 815. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 815 subtopic 40, which applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, as defined by ASC Topic 815 and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock. As a result of adopting ASC Topic 815 subtopic 40, the Company originally concluded that the Warrants issued in the August 2009 financing should be treated as a derivative liability, because the Warrants were entitled to a price adjustment provision to allow the exercise price to be reduced, in the event the Company would issue or sell any additional shares of common stock at a price per share less than the then-applicable exercise price or without consideration, which is typically referred to as a “Down-round protection” or “anti-dilution” provision. According to ASC Topic 815 subtopic 40, the “Down-round protection” provision is not considered to be an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares which leads the Warrants fail to be qualified as indexed to the Company’s own stock and then to fail to meet the scope exceptions of ASC Topic 815. Therefore, the Company originally accounted for the Warrants as derivative liabilities under ASC Topic 815. Pursuant to ASC Topic 815, derivatives should be measured at fair value and re-measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings at each reporting period.

On March 29, 2010, the Company and the holders of the Warrants entered into agreements to amend certain provisions of the Warrants. The amendment to the investor and placement agent warrants removes the “Down-round protection” rights that were applicable if the Company were to issue new shares of common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share less than the exercise price of the Warrants. In addition, the amendment to the warrants added a provision to grant the holders of a majority of the warrants an approval right until December 31, 2010, over any new issuance of shares of common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share less than the exercise price of the warrants.

As a result of this amendment, the Warrants issued in the August 2009 financing were qualified as indexed to the Company’s own stock and then met the scope exceptions of ASC Topic 815, and were eligible to be reclassified as equity. In accordance to ASC Topic 815, the classification of a contract should be reassessed at each balance sheet date. If the classification required under this ASC changes as a result of events during the period, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. If a contract is reclassified from an asset or a liability to equity, gains or losses recorded to account for the contract at fair value during the period that the contract was classified as an asset or a liability should not be reversed. Therefore, the Company re-measured the fair value of the Warrants as of March 29, 2010, the date of the event that caused the classification, which was approximately US$7,703,000 and reclassified the amount to equity as additional paid-in capital. The gain of the changes in fair value during the period that the Warrants were classified as a derivative liability, which was approximately US$1,861,000 was recorded in earnings for the six and three months ended June 30, 2010. As the Warrants have been reclassified to equity on March 29, 2010, no gain or loss of changes in fair value of the Warrants would be recorded thereafter.

28.	Employee defined contribution plan

Full time employees of the Company in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan, pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the PRC subsidiaries of the Company make contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries. The Company has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions made. The total amounts for such employee benefits, which were expensed as incurred, were approximately US$158,000 and US$96,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred approximately US$81,000 and US$52,000 employee benefits expenses, respectively.

29.	Concentration of risk

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and prepayments and other current assets. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC and Hong Kong, which management believes are of high credit quality.

Risk arising from operations in foreign countries

All of the Company’s operations are conducted within the PRC. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent in the PRC. Among other risks, the Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to the risks of restrictions on transfer of funds, changing taxation policies, foreign exchange restrictions; and political conditions and governmental regulations.

Currency convertibility risk

Significant part of the Company’s businesses is transacted in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions 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 regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts. These exchange control measures imposed by the PRC government authorities may restrict the ability of the Company’s PRC subsidiary to transfer its net assets, which to the Company through loans, advances or cash dividends.

Concentration of Supplier

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, three suppliers accounted for 25%, 21% and 14% of the Company’s cost of sales, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, three suppliers accounted for 29%, 22% and 17% of the Company’s cost of sales, respectively. Except for the aforementioned suppliers, there was no other single supplier who accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

31.	Segment reporting

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, which requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and evaluating their performance. Reportable operating segments include components of an entity about which separate financial information is available and which operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess each operating segment’s performance.

From January 1, 2011, the Company combined the Internet Advertisement Resources Reselling segment and the Internet Information Management (“IIM”) segment with the Internet Advertisement segment, due to the fact that the relative percentages of these two combined segments’ financial performances were immaterial and will be immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial results for each of the reporting period. Certain prior period amounts have been re-grouped to conform to the current period presentation. Upon the acquisition of Quanzhou Zhi Yuan, Quanzhou Tianxi Shun He and incorporation of Zhaoshangke Hubei, the Company operated in one more reportable business segment, which was Brand Management and Sales Channel Expansion.

33.	Share-based compensation expenses

On July 12, 2010, the Company renewed the investor relations service contract with Hayden Communications International, Inc. (“HC”) for an18-month service contract commencing July 12, 2010. As additional compensation, the Company granted HC 60,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, which will be issued in 2011 in accordance with the service agreement. The shares will be issued in accordance with the exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 4(2) of such Act for issuances not involving any public offering. The 60,000 shares were valued at $3.80 per share, the closing bid of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and the related compensation expense was amortized over the requisite service period. Total compensation expenses recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were US$76,000 and US$ nil, respectively. Total compensation expenses recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were US$38,000 and US$ nil, respectively.

On November 30, 2009, the Company granted 5-year options to each of its three independent directors, Mr. Douglas MacLellan, Mr. Mototaka Watanabe and Mr. Zhiqing Chen, to purchase in the aggregate 54,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of US$5.00 per share, in consideration of their services to the Company. These options vest quarterly at the end of each 3-month period, in equal installments over the 24-month period from the date of grant. However, upon a change of control, the option shall automatically become fully vested and exercisable as of the date of such changes of control. The company adopted Black-Scholes option pricing model to gauge the grant date fair value of these options. The related compensation expenses were amortized over its vesting period. Total compensation expenses recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were US$95,920 and US$41,580, respectively. Total compensation expenses recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were US$27,340 and US$17,820, respectively.

The Company estimates the fair value of these options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:

Underlying stock price	$	5
Expected term		3
Risk-free interest rate		1.10	%
Dividend yield		-
Expected Volatility		150	%
Exercise price of the option	$	5
Value per option	$	4.05

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Underlying stock price is the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. As the three individuals receiving options are non-employee executive directors, the Company believes that forfeitures are highly unlikely, and termination is not applicable. As such, the Company developed a weighted-average expected term at 3 years based on analysis of the vesting schedule and exercise assumptions. The risk-free interest rate is based on the 3 year U.S. Treasury rate. The dividend yield is calculated based on management’s estimate of dividends to be paid on the underlying stock. The expected volatility is calculated using historical data obtained from an appropriate index due to lack of liquidity of the Company’s underlying stock. Exercise price of the option is the contractual exercise price of the option.

Options issued and outstanding at June 30, 2011 and their movements during the period are as follows:

	Option Outstanding						Option Exercisable
	Number of underlying shares		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number of underlying shares		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Weighted Average Exercise Price

Balance, January 1, 2011		54,000		3.92	$	5.00		27,000		3.92	$	5.00

Overview

Our company (formerly known as Emazing Interactive, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Texas in April 2006 and re-domiciled to become a Nevada corporation in October 2006. From the date of our company’s incorporation until June 26, 2009, when our company consummated the Share Exchange (as defined below), our company’s activities were primarily concentrated in web server access and company branding in hosting web based e-games.

On June 26, 2009, our company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), with (i) China Net Online Media Group Limited, a company organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands (“China Net BVI”), (ii) China Net BVI’s shareholders, Allglad Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Allglad”), Growgain Limited, a British Virgin Islands company ("Growgain"), Rise King Investments Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Rise King BVI”), Star (China) Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Star”), Surplus Elegant Investment Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Surplus”), Clear Jolly Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Clear” and together with Allglad, Growgain, Rise King BVI, Star and Surplus, the “China Net BVI Shareholders”), who together owned shares constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of China Net BVI (the “China Net BVI Shares”) and (iii) G. Edward Hancock, our principal stockholder at such time. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the China Net BVI Shareholders transferred to us all of the China Net BVI Shares in exchange for the issuance of 13,790,800 shares (the “Exchange Shares”) in the aggregate of our common stock (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, China Net BVI became our wholly owned subsidiary and we are now a holding company which engages in providing advertising, marketing and communication services to small and medium companies in China through www.28.com, (the portal website of our PRC operating subsidiary), TV media and bank kiosks, through certain contractual arrangements with operating companies in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).

Our wholly owned subsidiary, China Net BVI, was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on August 13, 2007. On April 11, 2008, China Net BVI became the parent holding company of a group of companies comprised of CNET Online Technology Limited, a Hong Kong company (“China Net HK”), which established and is the parent company of Rise King Century Technology Development (Beijing) Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) established in the PRC (“Rise King WFOE”). We refer to the transactions that resulted in China Net BVI becoming an indirect parent company of Rise King WFOE as the “Offshore Restructuring.”

PRC regulations prohibit direct foreign ownership of business entities providing internet content, or ICP services in the PRC, and restrict foreign ownership of business entities engaging in the advertising business. In October 2008, a series of contractual arrangements (the “Contractual Agreements”) were entered between Rise King WFOE and Business Opportunity Online (Beijing) Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Business Opportunity Online”), Beijing CNET Online Advertising Co., Ltd. (“Beijing CNET Online”) (collectively the “PRC Operating Subsidiaries”) and its common individual owners (the “PRC Shareholders” or the “Control Group”). The Contractual Agreements allowed China Net BVI through Rise King WFOE to, among other things, secure significant rights to influence the PRC Operating Subsidiaries’ business operations, policies and management, approve all matters requiring shareholder approval, and the right to receive 100% of the income earned by the PRC Operating Subsidiaries. In return, Rise King WFOE provides consulting services to the PRC Operating Subsidiaries. In addition, to ensure that the PRC Operating Subsidiaries and the PRC Shareholders perform their obligations under the Contractual Arrangements, the PRC Shareholders have pledged to Rise King WFOE all of their equity interests in the PRC Operating Subsidiaries. They have also entered into an option agreement with Rise King WFOE which provides that at such time that current restrictions under PRC law on foreign ownership of Chinese companies engaging in the Internet content, information services or advertising business in China are lifted, Rise King WFOE may exercise its option to purchase the equity interests in the PRC Operating Subsidiaries directly.

At the time the above Contractual Agreements were signed, the controlling shareholder of China Net BVI was Rise King BVI, which holds 55% of China Net BVI’s common stock. At the time the Contractual Agreements were signed, the sole registered shareholder of Rise King BVI, was Mr. Yang Li, who held 10,000 shares of common stock of Rise King BVI, entered into slow-walk agreements with the Control Group individuals respectively, pursuant to which, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Control Group individuals had the option to purchase the 10,000 shares of Rise King BVI, (4,600 by Mr. Handong Cheng, 3,600 by Mr. Xuanfu Liu and 1,800 by Ms. Li Sun, acting as a nominee for Mr. Zhige Zhang) owned by Mr. Yang Li, at a purchase price of US$ 1 per share (the par value of Rise King BVI’s common stock). Under the terms of the slow-walk agreement, the Control Group had the right to purchase the shares as follows: (1) one-third of the shares when China Net BVI and its PRC subsidiaries and affiliates (“ the Group”) generates at least RMB 100,000,000 of the gross revenue for twelve months commencing from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009 (the “Performance Period I”); (2) one-third of the shares when the Group generates at least RMB 60,000,000 of the gross revenue for six months commencing from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010 (the “Performance Period II); (3) one-third of the shares when the Group generates at least RMB 60,000,000 of the gross revenue for six months commencing from July 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 (the “Performance Period III”). In the event that the Group did not achieve the performance targets specified above, then the Control Group individuals would have been able to exercise the Option at the Alternative Exercise Price (which is US$ 2 per share), on the date that the Acquisition has been completed or abandoned. Each Control Group individual may purchase one-third of the total number of shares that he or she is eligible to purchase under the slow-walk agreement upon the satisfaction of each condition described above.

The Control Group individuals also entered an Entrustment Agreement with Rise King BVI collectively, pursuant to which, based on the 55% equity interest held in the Group directly or indirectly, Rise King BVI entrusted the Control Group to manage the Group companies by irrevocably authorizes the Control Group act on behalf of Rise King BVI, as the exclusive agents and attorneys with respect to all matters concerning Rise King BVI’s Shareholding, during the validity period of this Agreement, including the rights of Attending the shareholders’ meeting; Exercising all the shareholder’s rights and shareholder’s voting rights enjoyed by Rise King BVI under the laws and the articles of associations of the Company and each Group Companies, (collectively “the Group”) including without limitation voting for and making decisions on the increase or reduction of the authorized capital/registered capital, issuing company bonds, merger, division, dissolution, liquidation of the Group or change of Group’ type, amendment to the articles of association of the Group, designating and appointing the legal representatives (the chairman of the Board), directors, supervisors, general managers and other senior officers of the Group. The Control Group also agreed and confirmed that each of them shall act in concert with one another when exercising all of their rights (including but not limited to the voting rights) authorized to them in this Agreement.

As described above, each of Mssrs. Handong Cheng, and Xuanfu Liu and Ms. Li Sun entered into Share Transfer Agreements (slow-walk agreement) with Mr. Yang Li, the sole shareholder of Rise King BVI, which beneficially owns an aggregate of 7,434,940 shares of our Company’s Common Stock, (the “Subject Shares”). On March 30, 2011, pursuant to the terms of the Share Transfer Agreement, Ms. Li Sun transferred her right to acquire 18% of the shares of Rise King BVI under the Share Transfer Agreement to Mr. Zhige Zhang, the chief financial officer of our Company. On March 30, 2011, each of Mssrs. Handong Cheng, Xuanfu Liu and Zhige Zhang (the “PRC Persons”) exercised their right to purchase the outstanding stock of Rise King BVI. On the same date, the Entrustment Agreement originally entered into among Rise King BVI and the Control Group was terminated. As a result of these transactions, the ownership of Rise King BVI was transferred from Mr. Yang Li to the PRC Persons. Rise King BVI has sole voting and dispositive power over the Subject Shares. The PRC Persons may be deemed to share voting power over the shares as a result of their collective ownership of all of the outstanding stock of Rise King BVI.

As a result of the Share Exchange on June 26, 2009, the former China Net BVI shareholders owned a majority of our common stock. The transaction was regarded as a reverse acquisition whereby China Net BVI was considered to be the accounting acquirer as its shareholders retained control of our company after the Share Exchange, although we are the legal parent company. The share exchange was treated as a recapitalization of our company. As such, China Net BVI (and its historical financial statements) is the continuing entity for financial reporting purposes. Following the Share Exchange, we changed our name from Emazing Interactive, Inc. to ChinaNet Online Holdings, Inc. The financial statements have been prepared as if China Net BVI had always been the reporting company and then on the share exchange date, had changed its name and reorganized its capital stock.

As of the date of the Share Exchange, through a series of contractual agreements, we operate our business in China primarily through Business Opportunity Online, Beijing CNET Online. Beijing CNET Online owns 51% of Shanghai Borongdingsi Computer Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Borongdingsi”). Business Opportunity Online, Beijing CNET Online and Shanghai Borongdingsi, were incorporated on December 8, 2004, January 27, 2003 and August 3, 2005, respectively.

Shanghai Borongdingsi is owned 51% by Beijing CNET Online. Beijing CNET Online and Shanghai Borongdingsi entered into a cooperation agreement in June 2008, followed up with a supplementary agreement in December 2008, to conduct bank kiosk advertisement business. The business is based on a bank kiosk cooperation agreement between Shanghai Borongdingsi and Henan provincial branch of China Construction Bank which allows Shanghai Borongdingsi or its designated party to conduct in-door advertisement business within the business outlets throughout Henan Province. The bank kiosk cooperation agreement has a term of eight years starting August 2008. However, Shanghai Borongdingsi was not able to conduct the advertisement as a stand-alone business due to the lack of an advertisement business license and supporting financial resources. Pursuant to the aforementioned cooperation agreements, Beijing CNET Online committed to purchase equipment, and to provide working capital, technical and other related support to Shanghai Borongdingsi. Beijing CNET Online owns the equipment used in the kiosk business, is entitled to sign contracts in its name on behalf of the business, and holds the right to collect the advertisement revenue generated from the bank kiosk business exclusively until the recovery of the cost of purchase of the equipment. Thereafter, Beijing CNET Online agreed to distribute 49% of the succeeding net profit generated from the bank kiosk advertising business, if any, to the minority shareholders of Shanghai Borongdingsi.

On June 24, 2010, Business Opportunity Online, together with three other individuals, who were not affiliated with us, formed a new company, Shenzhen City Mingshan Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Mingshan”). The registered capital and paid-in capital of Shenzhen Mingshan was RMB10,000,000 and RMB5,000,000, respectively. Shenzhen Mingshan is 51% owned by Business Opportunity Online and 49% owned collectedly by the other three individuals. Shenzhen Mingshan is located in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province of the PRC and is primarily engaged in developing and designing internet based software, online games and the related operating websites and providing related internet and information technology services necessary to operate such games and websites. As of March 31, 2011, Business Opportunity Online invested RMB4,020,000 (approximately US$611,863) in Shenzhen Mingshan. On January 6, 2011, as approved by the shareholders of Shenzhen Mingshan, an independent third party investor, who was not affiliated with us, invested RMB15,000,000 (approximately US$2,283,070) cash into Shenzhen Mingshan and Shenzhen Mingshan’s registered capital and paid-in capital increased from RMB10,000,000 (approximately US$1,466,000) and RMB5,000,000 (approximately US$733,000) to RMB25,000,000 (approximately US$3,786,000) and RMB20,000,000 (approximately US$3,029,000), respectively. Therefore, from January 6, 2011, the new investor became the majority shareholder of Shenzhen Mingshan. Our share of the equity interest in ShenZhen Mingshan decreased from 51% to 20.4% and we ceased to have a controlling financial interest in ShenZhen Mingshan but still retained an investment in, and significant influence over, Shenzhen Mingshan.

On December 6, 2010, Rise King WFOE entered into a series of exclusive contractual arrangements, which were similar to the Contractual Agreements discussed above, with Rise King (Shanghai) Advertisement Media Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Jing Yang”), a company incorporated under the PRC laws in December 2009 and primarily engaged in advertisement business, pursuant to which our company, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Rising King WFOE obtained all of the equity owners' rights and obligations of Shanghai Jing Yang, and the ability to extract the profits from the operation and assume the residual benefits of Shanghai Jing Yang, and hence became the sole interest holder of Shanghai Jing Yang. As of the date these contractual agreements signed, Shanghai Jing Yang had not establish any resources to conducted any business activities by itself and the carrying amount of the net assets of Shanghai Jing Yang which was all cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values due to their short maturities. Therefore, Shanghai Jing Yang’s accounts were included in our consolidated financial statements with no goodwill recognized in accordance to ASC Topic 810 “Consolidation”.

On December 8, 2010, we, through one of our PRC operating subsidiaries, Shanghai Jing Yang, acquired a 49% interest in a newly established company, Beijing Yang Guang Media Investment Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Yang Guang”) for a cash consideration of RMB 7,350,000 (approximately US$1,112,000), which represents 49% of Beijing Yang Guang’s paid-in capital and net assets of RMB15,000,000 (approximately US$2,269,000). The investment in Beijing Yang Guang provided us the synergy to leverage lower TV time resources and hence improve the performance of the TV advertisement business segment and increase revenue from our customers as a result of an additional value–added advertising and marketing channels to subscribe on the top of Internet.

We, through one of our PRC operating subsidiaries, Beijing CNET Online, entered into an equity interest acquisition agreement with the shareholders of Quanzhou Zhi Yuan Marketing Planning Co., Ltd. (“Quanzhou Zhi Yuan”) and Quanzhou Tian Xi Sun He Advertisement Co., Ltd. (“Quanzhou Tian Xi Shun He”), (collectively “the acquirees”) on December 18, 2010 and December 22, 2010, to acquire 100% equity interest of Quanzhou Zhi Yuan and 51% equity interest of Quanzhou Tian Xi Shun He, respectively. These acquisitions were subsequently consummated on January 4, 2011 and February 23, 2011, respectively. Quanzhou Zhi Yuan and Quanzhou Tian Xi Shun He are both independent advertising companies based in Fujian province of the PRC, which provide comprehensive branding and marketing services to over fifty small to medium sized companies focused mainly in the sportswear and clothing industry. These acquisitions enable our company an entry into the Fujian Province, a base of fast growing small and medium enterprises and having a complete suite of marketing and franchise promotion services allows our company to expand its market opportunity from franchises, dealerships and merchants looking to expand their businesses domestically in China. In June 2011, Beijing CNET Online entered into an additional agreement with the noncontrolling interest of Quanzhou Tian Xi Shun He to purchase the remaining 49% equity interest of Quanzhou Tian Xi Shun He for a cash consideration of RMB7,200,000 (approximately US$1,114,000). On June 27, 2011, this transaction has been approved and registered with the relevant PRC government authorities of Quanzhou City, Fujian Province of PRC and on the same date, Quanzhou Tian Xi Shun He became our wholly owned subsidiary.

On January 28, 2011, we, through one of our PRC operating subsidiaries, Business Opportunity Online, formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, Business Opportunity Online (Hubei) Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Business Opportunity Online Hubei”). Business Opportunity Online Hubei is mainly engaged in internet advertisement design, production and promulgation.

On March 1, 2011, Business Opportunity Online, together with an individual, who was not affiliated with us, formed a new company, Beijing Chuang Fu Tian Xia Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Chuang Fu Tian Xia”). The registered capital of Beijing Chuang Fu Tian Xia is RMB1,000,000 (approximately US$152,000). Business Opportunity Online and the co-founding individual invested RMB510,000 (approximately US$77,500) and RMB490,000 (approximately US$74,500) cash in Beijing Chuang Fu Tian Xia, respectively, representing 51% and 49% of the equity interests of Beijing Chuang Fu Tian Xi, respectively. In addition to capital investment, the co-founding individual is required to provide the controlled domain names, www.liansuo.com and www.chuangye.com to be registered under the established subsidiary. This subsidiary is mainly engaged in providing and operating internet advertising, marketing and communication services to small and medium companies through the websites associated with the above mentioned domain names. As of June 30, 2011, major developments and adjustments to the websites are mostly completed and are now proceeding into the second test run stage for improvement.

On April 18, 2011, we, through one of our PRC operating subsidiaries, Business Opportunity Online Hubei formed a new wholly owned company, Hubei CNET Advertising Media Co., Ltd. (“Hubei CNET”). The registered capital and paid in capital of Hubei CNET is RMB1,000,000 (approximately US$152,205). Hubei CNET is mainly engaged in advertisement design, production, promulgation and providing the related adverting and marketing consultancy services.

On April 18, 2011, one of our PRC operating subsidiaries, Business Opportunity Online Hubei, together with an individual, who was not affiliated with us, formed a new company, Zhao Shang Ke Network Technology (Hubei) Co., Ltd. (“Zhao Shang Ke Hubei”). The registered capital of Zhao Shang Ke Hubei is RMB2,000,000 (approximately US$306,000). Business Opportunity Online Hubei and the co-founding individual invested RMB1,020,000 (approximately US$156,000) and RMB980,000 (approximately US$150,000) cash in Zhao Shang Ke Hubei, respectively, and hence owned 51% and 49% of the equity interests of Zhao Shang Ke Hubei, respectively. Zhao Shang Ke Hubei is mainly engaged in providing advertisement design, production, promulgation and most importantly sales channels expansion services.

As of June 30, 2011, we operated our business primarily in China through the above mentioned subsidiaries and investees. From time to time, we refer to them collectively as “PRC operating entities”.

Through our PRC operating entities, we are one of China’s leading B2B fully integrated internet service provider for expanding small and medium enterprises’ (SMEs) sales networks in China. Our service founded on proprietary internet and advertising technologies mainly include preparing and publishing rich media enabled advertising and marketing campaigns for clients on the Internet, mobile phone, television and other valued added communication channels, hosting mini-sites with online messaging and consulting functionalities, generating effective sales leads and providing online management tools to help SMEs manage the expansion of their sales networks. Our goal is to strengthen our position as the leading diversified one-stop internet service provider to SMEs for their sales network expansion in China. Our multi-channel advertising and promotion platform consists of the website www.28.com, our Internet advertising portals, ChinaNet TV, our TV production and advertising unit, and our bank kiosk advertising unit, which was primarily used as an advertising platform for clients in the financial services industry and will be further utilized as an additional value-added communication channel for the SME clients.

Basis of presentation, critical accounting policies and management estimates

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. However, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring entries, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not indicative of the operating results to be expected for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.

We prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial reporting period. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. We consider the policies discussed below to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements.

Foreign currency translation

Our functional currency is United States dollars (“US$”), and the functional currency of China Net HK is Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”). The functional currency of our PRC operating subsidiaries is Renminbi (“RMB’), and PRC is the primary economic environment in which we operate.

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of our PRC operating subsidiaries, which are prepared using the RMB, are translated into our reporting currency, the United States Dollar (“U.S. dollar”). Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during each reporting period, and shareholders' equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into US$ for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts		6.4640		6.6118

	Six months ended June 30,
		2011		2010
Items in the statements of income and comprehensive income, and statements cash flows		6.5482		6.8347

	Three months ended June 30,
		2011		2010
Items in the statements of income and comprehensive income, and statements cash flows		6.5074		6.8335

Investment in equity investment affiliates

Investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which we exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in accordance to ASC Topic 323 “Equity Method and Joint Ventures”. Whether or not we exercise significant influence with respect to an Investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the investee companies’ board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the investee companies. Under the equity method of accounting, an investee company’s accounts are not reflected within our consolidated balance sheets and statements of income and comprehensive income; however, our share of the earnings or losses of the investee company is reflected in the caption “Share of earnings (losses) in equity investment affiliates” in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Our carrying value (including loan to the investees) in equity method investee companies is reflected in the caption “Investment in and loan to equity investment affiliates” in our consolidated balance sheets.

When our carrying value in an equity method investee company is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in our consolidated financial statements unless we guaranteed obligations of the investee company or have committed additional funding. When the investee company subsequently reports income, we will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired as a result of acquisitions of interests in our subsidiaries.

Changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary

We accounted for changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary in accordance with ASC Topic 805 Business Combination, subtopic 10, which requires the transaction be accounted for as equity transactions (investments by owners and distributions to owners acting in their capacity as owners). Therefore, no gain or loss shall be recognized in consolidated net income or comprehensive income. The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest shall be adjusted to reflect the change in its ownership interest in the subsidiary. Any difference between the fair value of the consideration received or paid and the amount by which the noncontrolling interest is adjusted shall be recognized in equity attributable to the parent and reallocated the subsidiary’s accumulated comprehensive income, if any, among the parent and the noncontrolling interest through an adjustment to the parent’s equity.

Revenue recognition

Our revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition”. In accordance with ASC Topic 605, revenues are recognized when all four of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the service has been rendered, (iii) the fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv)collectability is reasonably assured.

Sales include revenues from internet advertising generated from our portal website, reselling of internet advertising spaces and other internet advertisement related resources purchased from other portal websites, reselling of advertising time purchased from TV stations and brand management and sales channel expansion services. No revenue from advertising-for-advertising barter transactions was recognized because the transactions did not meet the criteria for recognition in ASC Topic 605, subtopic 20. Advertising contracts establish the fixed price and advertising services to be provided. Pursuant to advertising contracts, we provide advertisement placements in different formats, including but not limited to banners, links, logos, buttons, rich media and content integration. Revenue is recognized ratably over the period the advertising is provided and, as such, we consider the services to have been delivered. We treat all elements of advertising contracts as a single unit of accounting for revenue recognition purposes. Based upon our credit assessments of our customers prior to entering into contracts, we determine if collectability is reasonably assured. In situations where collectability is not deemed to be reasonably assured, we recognize revenue upon receipt of cash from customers, only after services have been provided and all other criteria for revenue recognition have been met.

Taxation

1.	Income tax

We adopted ASC Topic 740 “Income taxes” and use liability method to accounts for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between of the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income statement in the period that includes the enactment date.

We adopted ASC Topic 740-10-25-5 through 740-10-25-7 and 740-10-25-13, which prescribes a more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions and did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

i). We are incorporated in the State of Nevada. Under the current laws of Nevada we are not subject to state corporate income tax. We became a holding company and do not conduct any substantial operations of our own after the Share Exchange. No provision for federal corporate income tax has been made in our financial statements as no assessable profits for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 or prior periods. We do not provide for U.S. taxes or foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings from our non-U.S. subsidiaries because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely. If undistributed earnings were distributed, foreign tax credits could become available under current law to reduce the resulting U.S. income tax liability.

ii). China Net BVI was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). Under the current laws of the BVI, China Net BVI is not subject to tax on income or capital gains. Additionally, upon payments of dividends by China Net BVI to us, no BVI withholding tax will be imposed.

iii). China Net HK was incorporated in Hong Kong and does not conduct any substantial operations of its own. No provision for Hong Kong profits tax have been made in our financial statements as no assessable profits for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 or prior periods. Additionally, upon payments of dividends by China Net HK to its sole shareholder, China Net BVI, no Hong Kong withholding tax will be imposed.

iv). Our PRC operating entities, being incorporated in the PRC, are governed by the income tax law of the PRC and are subject to PRC enterprise income tax (“EIT”). Effective from January 1, 2008, the EIT rate of PRC was changed from 33% of to 25%, and applies to both domestic and foreign invested enterprises.

Rise King WFOE is a software company qualified by the related PRC governmental authorities and was entitled to a two-year EIT exemption from its first profitable year and a 50% reduction of its applicable EIT rate, which is 25% of its taxable income for the exceeding three years. Rise King WFOE had a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 and its first profitable year is fiscal year 2009 which has been verified by the local tax bureau by accepting the application filed by us. Therefore, it was entitled to a two-year EIT exemption for fiscal year 2009 through fiscal year 2010 and a 50% reduction of its applicable EIT rate which is 25% for fiscal year 2011 through fiscal year 2013. Therefore, for the six month ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the applicable income tax rate for Rise King WFOE was 12.5% and nil%, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the applicable income tax rate for Rise King WFOE was also 12.5% and nil%, respectively.

l	The applicable income tax rate for the other PRC operating subsidiaries of our company is 25%.

The New EIT also imposed a 10% withholding income tax for dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside China, which were exempted under the previous enterprise income tax law and rules. A lower withholding tax rate will be applied if there is a tax treaty arrangement between mainland China and the jurisdiction of the foreign holding company. Holding companies in Hong Kong, for example, will be subject to a 5% rate. Rise King WFOE is owned by an intermediate holding company in Hong Kong and will be entitled to the 5% preferential withholding tax rate upon distribution of the dividends to this intermediate holding company.

2.	Business tax and relevant surcharges

Revenue of advertisement services are subject to 5.5% business tax and 3% cultural industry development surcharge of the net service income after deducting amount paid to ending media promulgators. Revenue of internet technical support services is subjected to 5.5% business tax. Business tax charged was included in cost of sales.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”, which is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations upon adoption.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has two options for presenting its total comprehensive income: to present total comprehensive income and its components along with the components of net income in a single continuous statement, or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in this ASU are required to be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We intend to conform to the new presentation required in this ASU beginning with our Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations upon adoption.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

To supplement the unaudited consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income presented in accordance with GAAP, we are also providing non-GAAP measures of income before income tax expenses, net income, net income attributable to us and basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the non-cash gain recorded, which related to the gain on deconsolidation of a subsidiary for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the fair value changes of the warrants we issued in our August 2009 financing for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the investors' overall understanding of our current performance in on-going core operations as well as prospects for the future. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. We use both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating our operating business results internally and therefore deem it important to provide all of this information to investors.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the unaudited consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, (all amounts in thousands of US dollars):

REVENUE

From January 1, 2011, we combined the Internet Advertisement Resources Reselling segment and the Internet Information Management (“IIM”) segment with the Internet Advertisement segment, due to the fact that the relative percentage of these two combined segments’ financial performances were immaterial and will continue to be immaterial to our consolidated financial results going forward. Certain prior period amounts have been re-grouped to conform to the current period presentation. Upon acquisition of Quanzhou Zhi Yuan, Quanzhou Tianxi Shun He and incorporation of Zhaoshangke Hubei, we operated in an additional reportable business segment, which was Brand Management and Sales Channel Expansion.

The following tables set forth a breakdown of our total revenue, divided into four segments for the periods indicated, with inter-segment transactions eliminated:

Total Revenues: Our total revenues decreased to US$16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from US$22.3 million for the same period of 2010. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our total revenue decreased to US$9.10 million from US$12.0 million as compared to the same period of 2010. That was mainly due to the significant decrease of the TV advertisement revenue during the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period of last year and the decrease of the internet adverting revenue from our branded clients during the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010.

We derive the majority of our advertising service revenues from the sale of advertising space on our internet portal www.28.com with provision of the related technical support, related internet marketing service and content management and in addition, from the resale of advertising time purchased from different TV programs to unrelated third parties and to some of our related parties. We report our advertising revenue between related and unrelated parties on account of historical basis of approximately 3% to 5% of our advertising service revenues came from clients related to some of the shareholders of our PRC operating subsidiaries. Our advertising services to related parties were provided in the ordinary course of business on the same terms as those provided to our unrelated advertising clients on an arm’s-length basis.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we continued to execute our strategy of focusing on the internet services, including internet advertising and marketing, search engine marketing and optimization, brand management, internet information management (part of management tools) and others, which in total achieved gross margins of 75% for the first half of 2011 as compared to 73% for the same period of last year. We will continue to concentrate resources and capital on our advertising and marketing platform, including www.28.com and www.liansuo.com, our social networking service information platform, www.chuangye.com, and other procurement in order to yield more predictable and recurring revenue. www.liansuo.com and www.chuangye.com are currently under testing.

Our advertising service revenues are recorded net of any sales discounts, these discounts include volume discounts and other customary incentives offered to our small to medium franchise and merchant clients, including additional advertising time for their advertisements on unused spots available on our website and represent the difference between our official list price and the amount we charge our clients. We typically sign service contracts with small to medium franchise and other small to medium enterprise clients who require us to advertise and market their franchise business, distribution business, dealership business, chain store business or other business ventures in other formality on our portal website for specified places within or at specified periods; and/or place the advertisements onto our purchased advisement time provided by specific TV programs for specified period of times. We recognize revenues as the advertisement airs over the contractual term based on the schedule agreed upon with our clients.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we achieved approximately US$12.5 million and US$12.6 million internet advertising revenue, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our internet advertising revenue decreased to approximately US$6.5 million as compared to approximately US$7.9 million for the same period of 2010. The decrease of our internet revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared with the same period of 2010 was mainly due to the decrease of the internet revenue from our branded clients. Due to the Chinese government’s monetary policy of increasing interest rates and tightening the money supply, and the overall economic slowdown started in the mid-late of the second quarter of 2011, only 20% of our branded clients have renewed their contracts with us and another 80% branded clients are either extending their contact on a monthly basis or uncertain about resigning due to economic situation. They intend to hold the major portion of their marketing expense first. As for our traditional pool of clients, the impact was not significant but such impact may have a chance to widen in the third and fourth quarters, if the economy is not recovered in time. The estimation of the level of the impact cannot be reasonably determined as of June 30, 2011. However, we have gradually gained new clients on www.liansuo.com as presently there are approximately 2,000 clients listed on the site through the two-month testing period. The majority of the clients are on the free trial period, but it has given the Company a new client pool for expanding our business.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, our TV advertising revenue decreased to US$2.78 million from US$9.42 million for the same period in 2010. We generated this US$2.78 million of TV advertising revenue by selling approximately 3,100 minutes of advertising time that we purchased from six provincial TV stations, which were partially purchased through Beijing Yang Guang, our equity investment affiliate, as compared with approximately 12,000 minutes of advertising time purchased from seven TV stations that we sold in the same period of 2010. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our TV advertising revenue decreased to US$2.06 million from US$4.02 million for the same period in 2010. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we sold approximately 2,250 minutes and 4,500 minutes of advertising time purchased from TV stations, respectively. The decrease in revenue from the TV advertisement segment was a direct result of the decrease of total minutes of TV advertising time sold during the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010. Beginning in fiscal year 2010, due to the increase in the cost per minute charged by the TV stations, which cost was passed on to our end customers, our clients’ demand for the TV advertising service decreased significantly. Accordingly, we had to decrease our selling price to prevent losses in this segment, which led to a low gross profit margin of approximately 2% and 7%, respectively, of this segment for the six and three months ended June 30, 2010. Therefore, in fiscal 2011, we reduced the business scope of the TV division, which was integrated into our advertising and marketing platform and provided to the existing Internet client base as one of the additional communication channels. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, we only kept limited number of TV programs which had relatively affordable cost per minute as compared to the selling price our customers willing to pay. Therefore, the gross profit margin of this segment improved significantly for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 to approximately 22% and 21%, respectively, as compared with those for the same period of last year. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2011, based on our pre-analysis of revenue and cost, we purchased more time slots from four additional TV programs through our equity investment affiliate, Beijing Yang Guang, and sold to our customers. Therefore, our revenue from TV division increased by approximately 184% as compared to that of the first quarter of 2011. We will continue to monitor the demand from our customers for this segment in the second half of 2011, and purchase additional TV advertisement time if necessary. The TV division is not going to expand internally in terms of its operational size and manpower, but it will continue to grow through external outsourcing and potential partnerships and/or joint ventures to secure the availability of TV minutes when needed.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we achieved approximately US$0.28 million of revenue from the bank kiosk business segment as compared to approximately US$0.26 million for the same period in 2010. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we achieved approximately US$0.14 million and US$0.13 million of revenue from this segment, respectively. The bank kiosk advertising business is still in the development stage and many details still need to be further analyzed and finalized before allocating more capital into this business unit. It was not a significant contribution to revenue for both the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Management believes that at this moment, this business is unlikely to expand and some of the technology used in this business unit will be fully integrated into the overall advertising and marketing platform.

Upon the acquisition of Quanzhou ZhiYuan, Quanzhou Tian Xi Shun He and incorporation of Zhao Shang Ke Hubei, we operated our business in an additional reportable business segments, which were Brand Management and Sales Channel Expansion. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, we achieved approximately US$0.50 million and US$0.43 million of revenue from this segment, respectively. We anticipate that the revenue from this segment will continue grow in the second half of 2011.

Cost of revenues: Our total costs of revenue decreased to US$5.46 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from US$12.66 million for the same period in 2010. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our total cost of revenue decreased to US$3.44 million from US$5.94 million for the same period in 2010. This was mainly due to the significant decrease in costs of our TV advertisement business segment for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, which was in line with the decrease of our TV advertisement revenue as discussed above. Our cost of revenues related to offering of our advertising services primarily consists of internet resources purchased from other portal websites and technical services providers related to lead generation, sponsored search, TV advertisement time costs purchased for reselling, and business taxes and surcharges.

Internet resources cost is the largest component of our cost of revenue for internet advertisement revenue. We purchased these resources from other well-known portal websites in China, such as: Baidu, Google and Tecent (QQ), to increase exposure of our internet advertisement clients on the overall internet community in China and to generate more visits to their advertisements, including, their mini-sites, hosted by our portal website. We accomplish these objectives through sponsored searches, advanced tracking and advanced traffic generating technologies, and search engine marketing technologies in connection with the well-known portal websites indicated above. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our internet resources cost for internet advertising revenue was US$3.11 million and US$3.36 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our internet resources cost for internet advertising revenue was US$1.68 million and US$2.14 million, respectively. The decrease of the internet resources cost for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period of 2010 was in line with the decrease of the internet advertisement revenue as discussed above. According to our historical experience, the average gross profit margin for internet advertising services was approximately 70%-80%. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the gross profit margin for this segment was 75% and 73%, respectively, and for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the gross profit margin for this segment was 74% and 73%, respectively, which were considered fairly satisfactory for this business segment.

TV advertisement time cost is the largest component of our cost of revenue for TV advertisement revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we purchased TV advertisement time from six and seven provincial TV stations, respectively, and resell it to our TV advertisement clients. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we also purchased advertisement time from six and seven provincial TV stations for resale, respectively. Our TV advertisement time cost was US$2.17 million and US$9.24 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our TV advertisement time cost was approximately US$1.62 million and US$3.73 million, respectively. Our gross profit margin for this segment improved to 22% and 21% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to 2% and 7% for the same period of 2010. This improvement was mainly due to the efficiency of purchasing TV time on a more cost effective basis while matching with our customers’ needs simultaneously. In addtion, we only kept the TV advertising time from the stations that can be purchased on a more affordable cost basis as compared with the selling price affordable by our customers.

Gross Profit: As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit was US$10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to US$9.6 million for the same period in 2010. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we achieved approximately US$5.6 million and US$6.1 million gross profit, respectively. The decrease of the gross profit we generated for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared with the same period of 2010 was mainly due to the decrease of internet revenue for the second quarter of 2011 as discussed above. Along with the increase of the proportion of the high margin internet advertisement revenue over the total revenue for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, which is 77.9% and 71.1%, respectively, as compared to 56.5% and 65.5%, respectively, for the same period in 2010, our overall gross margin increased to 66% and 62%, respectively, for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared with 43% and 51%, respectively, for the same period in 2010.

Operating Expenses: Our total operating expenses increased to US$4.21 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from US$3.26 million for the same period of 2010. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our total operating expenses increased to US$2.26 million as compared to US$1.91 million for the same period of 2010.

Selling expenses: For the six months ended June 30, 2011, our selling expenses increased to US$1.62 million from US$1.34 million for the same period of 2010. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, our selling expenses was approximately US$0.91 million. Our selling expenses primarily consist of advertising expenses for brand development that we pay to TV stations and other media outlets for the promotion and marketing of www.28.com, other advertising and promotional expenses, staff and staff benefits, performance bonuses, website server hosting and broadband leasing expenses, and travel and communication expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the increase in our selling expenses was mainly due to the following reasons: (1) our brand development advertising expenses on TV programs for www.28.com increased by approximately US$0.07 million; (2) staff salary and benefit expenses increased by approximately US$0.10 million for new subsidiaries formed and acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2011; (3) server hosting and broadband leasing expenses increased by approximately US$0.06 million as a result of our continued improvement of our service quality to our customers; and (4) other general office expenses of our sales department increased by approximately US$0.05 million for new subsidiaries formed and acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2011. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, brand development advertising expenses on TV programs for www.28.com decreased by approximately US$0.14 million due to a different advertising schedule we booked from TV programs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010; and (2) staff salary and benefit expenses, and other general office expenses of sales department increased by approximately US$0.06 million and US$0.08 million, respectively, for new subsidiaries formed and acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

General and administrative expenses: For the six months ended June 30, 2011, general and administrative expenses increased to US$1.87 million as compared to US$1.60 million for the same period in 2010. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, general and administrative expenses increased to US$0.98 million as compared to US$0.80 million for the same period of 2010. Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and benefits for management, accounting and administrative personnel, office rentals, depreciation of office equipment, amortization of intangible assets, professional service fees, maintenance, utilities and other office expenses. The increase in our general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was mainly due to the following reasons: (1) increase of expenses incurred by the newly acquired and formed subsidiaries during the six months ended June 30, 2011 for approximately US$0.30 million, of which approximately US$0.23 million was incurred by Quanzhou Zhi Yuan and Quanzhou Tian Xi Shun He after their respective acquisition dates and mainly related to the amortization of the intangible assets (i.e. contract backlog, customer relationship and non-compete agreement) recognized upon completion of these acquisition transactions over its respective estimated economic life; (2) at the same time, due to the deconsolidation of Shenzhen Mingshan incurred in January 2011, general and administration expense for Shenzhen Mingshan was not included in our consolidated earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2011, which was approximately US$0.16 for the same period of 2010; (3) depreciation expenses and maintaining expenses increased by approximately US$0.10 million for the new office equipment purchased and office decoration improvement incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2011; (4) other general office expenses, such as: communication, travelling and other office supplies increased by approximately US$0.03 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the increase of the general and administrative expenses was due to similar reasons as discussed for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Research and development expenses: For the six months ended June 30, 2011, research and development expenses increased to US$0.72 million from US$0.33 million for the same period of 2010. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, research and development expenses increased to US$0.37 million as compared to US$0.20 million for the same period of 2010. Our research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries and benefits for the research and development staff, equipment depreciation expenses, and office utilities and supplies allocated to our research and development department. The increase of the research and development expenses for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 was mainly due to the expansion of our R&D function which resulted in an increase of the salary expenses and other general administrative expense and supplies. We expect that our research and development expenses will increase in future periods as we continue to expand, optimize and enhance the technology of our portal website, upgrade our advertising and internet management software and develop other related cloud-based management tools. In the next three to five years, we expect research and development expenses to be within the range of four percent to six percent of our total revenues.

Operating Profit: As a result of the foregoing, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we achieved approximately US$6.43 million and US$6.34 million operating profit, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our operating profit was approximately US$3.39 million and 4.20 million, respectively.

Changes in Fair Value of Warrants: We originally accounted for our warrants issued to the investors and the placement agent in our August 2009 financing as derivative liabilities under ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, because it contains a “Down-round” protection that were applicable if we were to issue new shares of common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share less than the exercise price of the Warrants. The “Down-round protection” provision is not considered to be an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares which lead to the Warrants to fail to be qualified as indexed to the Company’s own stock and then fail to meet the scope exceptions of ASC Topic 815. Therefore, we accounted for the Warrants as derivative liabilities under ASC Topic 815. Pursuant to ASC Topic 815, derivative should be measured at fair value and re-measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings at each reporting period. On March 29, 2010, we and the holders of the Warrants entered into agreements to amend certain provisions of the Warrants. The amendment to the investor and placement agent warrants removes the “Down-round protection” rights. In addition, the amendment to the warrants added a provision to grant the holders of a majority of the warrants an approval right until December 31, 2010, over any new issuance of shares of common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share less than the exercise price of the warrants. As a result of this amendment, the Warrants issued in the August 2009 financing were qualified as indexed to our own stock and then met the scope exceptions of ASC Topic 815, and were eligible to be reclassified as equity. In accordance with ASC Topic 815, the classification of a contract should be reassessed at each balance sheet date. If the classification required under this ASC changes as a result of events during the period, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. If a contract is reclassified from an asset or a liability to equity, gains or losses recorded to account for the contract at fair value during the period that the contract was classified as an asset or a liability should not be reversed. Therefore, we re-measured the fair value of the Warrants as of March 29, 2010, the date of the event that caused the classification, which was approximately US$ 7,703,000 and reclassified the amount to equity as additional paid-in capital. The gain of the changes in fair value during the period that the Warrants were classified as a derivative liability for the six months ended June 30, 2010, which was approximately US$ 1,861,000 was recorded in earnings. As the Warrants had been reclassified to equity on March 29, 2010, no gain or loss of changes in fair value of Warrants would be recognized thereafter.

Share of earnings (losses) in equity investment affiliates: As of June 30, 2011 and for the six and three months then ended, we had two equity investment affiliates, which were Beijing Yang Guang and Shenzhen Mingshan. We acquired a 49% equity interest in Beijing Yang Guang on December 8, 2010. Therefore, for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized our pro-rata share of earning in Beijing Yang Guang, which was approximately US$30,000 and US$13,000, respectively, with a corresponding increase to the carrying value of the long term investment in Beijing Yang Guang. Shenzhen Mingshan used to be 51% owned by one of our operating subsidiaries and was a consolidated subsidiary of our company from its date of incorporation through January 6, 2011. On January 6, 2011, an independent third party investor invested RMB15,000,000 (approximately US$2,283,000) cash to Shenzhen Mingshan, and hence obtained 60% equity interest of Shenzhen Mingshan, our company’s share of equity interest then decreased from 51% to 20.4% accordingly, Shenzhen Mingshan then became an equity investment affiliate of our company. Therefore, we recognized our pro-rata share of losses in Shenzhen Mingshan, which was approximately US$135,000 and US$72,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, with a corresponding decrease to the carrying value of long term investment in Shenzhen Mingshan. Therefore, net amount recognized as share of losses in equity investment affiliates recognized for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately US$130,000 and US$59,000 for these two equity investment affiliates, respectively.

Gain on deconsolidation of subsidiary: The deconsolidation of Shenzhen Mingshan occurred on January 6, 2011 was accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 810 “Consolidation”. We recognized a gain of approximately US$230,000 upon deconsolidation of Shenzhen Mingshan in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2011, with a corresponding increase to the carrying value of the investment in Shenzhen Mingshan in the consolidated balance sheet. This deconsolidation gain represents the excess of the fair value of our retained equity interest in Shenzhen Mingshan over its carrying value as of the date of deconsolidation.

Income Tax: We recognized an income tax expense of US$0.75 million and US$0.28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our income tax expense was US$0.32 million and US$0.07 million, respectively. The increase of the income tax expenses was mainly due to the increase of the effective income tax rate of our PRC operating subsidiaries, Business Opportunity Online and Rise King WFOE for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to that for the same period of 2010. For fiscal year 2011, the applicable income tax rate for Business Opportunity Online and Rise King WFOE is 15% and 12.5%, respectively. For fiscal year 2010, the applicable income tax rate for these two operating subsidiaries was 7.5% and nil%, respectively.

Net Income: As a result of the foregoing, our net income amounted to US$5.81 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to US$7.93 million for the same period of 2010. Excluding the non-cash gain of US$0.23 million recognized for deconsolidation of Shenzhen Mingshan and the US$1.86 million gain recorded as changes in fair value of warrants for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, we achieved net income amounted to US$5.58 million and US$6.07 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our net income was US$3.01 million and US$4.14 million, respectively.

Net income/ losses attributable to noncontrolling interest: On February 23, 2011, Beijing CNET Online acquired a 51% equity interest of Quanzhou Tian Xi Shun He. On March 1, 2011, Business Opportunity Online together with an individual, who was not affiliated with us, formed a new company, Beijing Chuang Fu Tian Xia. Beijing Chuang Fu Tian Xia is 51% owned by Business Opportunity Online and 49% owned by the co-founder individual. On April 18, 2011, Business Opportunity Online Hubei together with an individual, who was not affiliated with us, formed a new company, Zhao Shang Ke Hubei. Zhao Shang Ke Hubei is 51% owned by Business Opportunity Online Hubei and 49% owned by the co-founder individual. Therefore, net income or losses of the above three majority-owned subsidiaries were allocated between its respective shareholders based on its respective percentage of the ownership in the entity for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net income allocated to the noncontrolling interest of Zhao Shang Ke Hubei was approximately US$0.054 million, net losses in the aggregate allocated to the noncontrolling interest of the other two majority-owned subsidiaries was approximately US$0.051 million. Therefore, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest for these three majority-owned subsidiaries in the aggregate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately US$0.003 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, net income allocated to the noncontrolling interest of Zhao Shang Ke Hubei was approximately US$0.054 million, net losses in the aggregate allocated to the noncontrolling interest of the other two majority-owned subsidiaries was approximately US$0.035 million. Therefore, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest for these three majority-owned subsidiaries in the aggregate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately US$0.019 million.

Net income attributable to ChinaNet Online Holdings, Inc.: Total net income we achieved for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 minus the total net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest shareholders as discussed above was the net income attributable to ChinaNet Online Holdings, Inc.

Dividend for Series A convertible preferred stock: Cash dividend to Series A convertible preferred stockholders was calculated at the per annum rate of 10% of the liquidation preference amount of the Series A preferred stock which was US$2.5 per share and the actual number of days each share was outstanding within the reporting period.
