We are also very excited about CDC Games' two new local games scheduled for launch in the first half of this year. We have been receiving excellent support from Turbine, the developer of The Lord of the Rings Online, and are making progress on resolving the technical issues related to this game. We now expect to launch this exciting and long-awaited MMORPG later this year. We are focusing on the execution of our business plan for each of our core businesses and we are cautiously optimistic on our long-term growth and prospects."

"We are proud of our strong results for the fourth quarter and full year 2009 at CDC Software, especially in light of the global economic downturn," said Bruce Cameron, president of CDC Software. "We are pleased with our fourth quarter 2009 results, which again exceeded Wall Street consensus estimates in many of our key financial metrics including Non-GAAP earnings per share and license revenue. Our cash flow from operations for 2009 of $53.0 million represents a record for CDC Software. CDC Software's robust performance in the fourth quarter, especially our improvements in Adjusted EBITDA margin and license revenue, primarily resulted from our strategies executed last year, which focused on disciplined cost controls while still pursuing growth. We are especially pleased on our strong organic license revenue growth in the fourth quarter and on our solid pipeline for the first half of this year." CDC Global Services On a standalone basis, CDC Global Services had the following results for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009:     Q3 2009   Q4 2009 Revenue: $19.2 million $17.6 million Adjusted EBITDA: $0.3 million $0.4 million Adjusted EBITDA Margin: 1.6% 2.3% Total revenue for CDC Global Services for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $17.6 million compared to $19.2 million for the third quarter of 2009. Fourth quarter 2009 Adjusted EBITDA was $0.4 million compared to $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2009. Gross margin improved to 20 percent in the fourth quarter compared to 17 percent in the third quarter of 2009. For the full year, revenue decreased to $75.2 million compared to $109.7 million for the full year 2008, due primarily to decreased demand for contract labor as a result of the global recession. Approximately 65 percent of revenue in 2009 was derived from the U.S. market while 35 percent was from international sources. Staff utilization for the fourth quarter was 84 percent, representing a decrease from 90 percent in the third quarter of 2009.

CDC Global Services continued its plans to expand its offshore service delivery capabilities in China which it expects to accomplish through organic growth of its existing engineering centers and the strategic acquisition of local IT outsourcing firms in several of China's key cities. These centers are expected to be organized and developed into practices specializing in various core skills that the company believes are much sought after in today's IT outsourcing market. CDC Global Services expects to operate clusters of these Offshore Development Centers (ODC) and which are expected to provide a whole array of services in software testing, Java software, .net software, embedded software development as well as software implementation for products that are from CDC Software and other international companies.

These local IT outsourcing firms can also provide CDC Global Services with immediate access to the growing domestic ITO service market in China. CDC Global Services' goals are to grow to 5,000 professional staff in China over the next few years and derive 35 percent of its revenue from the China domestic service markets.

Some of the recent outsourcing initiatives undertaken recently include evaluating an ITO firm in Shenzhen that serves local government and mobile operators in China. CDC Global Services currently is recruiting several new sales professionals for its outsourcing business that includes a recent hire for its Shanghai/Nanjing centers, as well as engaging new Alliance Partners.

The company plans to leverage CDC Software's extensive customer base in creating cross-selling opportunities of CDC Global Services' offshore IT outsourcing services. In addition to the implementation services that CDC Software traditionally sells together with its products, CDC Global Services believes it can offer new value to these customers by providing them competitively-priced, high-quality services in the design, development and testing of their software systems, product R&D work, maintenance and support of legacy software using CDC Global Services offshore engineering resources.

Some additional highlights in the CDC Global Services business during the fourth quarter of 2009 included several significant new engagements: A $44 billion global pharmaceutical products, prescription medicines, consumer healthcare and generics company has contracted for CDC Global Services to implement its SAP (News - Alert) solutions at its main U.S. distribution facility.

A $31 billion diversified manufacturer of aerospace products, control technologies for building, home and industry and other products contracted with CDC Global Services to implement its solution at multiple operating divisions and distribution facilities globally.

A $14 billion leading human therapeutics company in the biotechnology industry contracted with CDC Global Services to implement its SAP solution at eight distributions facilities globally.

A Sydney, Australia area city council serving 65,000 residents and 1,300 businesses contracted with Praxa to implement and refine its business portal.

An Australian self-funding charitable organization contracted with Praxa to prepare a roadmap and analyze the business requirements for the replacement of their existing application software system to a single CRM platform.

"CDC Global Services is executing on a number of strategic initiatives that we expect will help expand its IT outsourcing operations in China which is a growing services market," said CK Wong, chairman of CDC Global Services. "Through a combination of organic growth and disciplined acquisitions in various cities in China, we plan to reach to 5,000 professional staff in our China-based offshore development centers and IT outsourcing centers over next few years. We are also looking at ways to penetrate the growing China domestic IT service market. The centers that we plan to expand are also expected to serve both our international and China clients. We believe these well-orchestrated initiatives can help to unlock shareholder value of CDC Corporation operating as a synergistic group of companies." CDC Games On a standalone basis, CDC Games had the following results for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009:     Q3 2009   Q4 2009 Revenue: $6.2 million $7.0 million Adjusted EBITDA: ($0.9) million $0.5 million Adjusted EBITDA Margin: (14%) 7% Total revenue from continuing operations(b) for CDC Games during the fourth quarter of 2009 was $7.0 million compared to $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2009. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $0.5 million compared to negative Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2009. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 7 percent compared to negative 14 percent in the third quarter of 2009. Total peak concurrent users (PCU) in the fourth quarter increased 7 percent from the third quarter and total average concurrent users (ACU) increased 9 percent from the third quarter of 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2009, CDC Games reported revenue of $28.9 million compared to $44.9 million in 2008, due primarily to fewer new games and new updates for its current games provided in 2009. However, CDC Games expects to launch major new versions of its current games, as well as new local games for 2010.

CDC Games is planning to launch two new domestic games in China during the first half of this year, East Fantasy Online and Richman Universe Online. Developed by Chengdu, China-based BL Interactive Net Co., East Fantasy is a cartoon type 3D massive multiplayer online action role playing game (MMOARPG) featuring a humorous story line, six characters, and voiceovers from prominent voiceover actors who also provide voices for well known animated characters like Naruto, a popular Japanese manga series. Richman Universe Online, a casual MMORPG, is developed by Beijing-based Softstar Technology and is based on the theme of the popular Monopoly game and battle chess.

Additionally, in mid-January 2010, CDC Games launched a new version of Yulgang, version 4.0. Since its launch, the game has shown strong increases in PCU. CDC Games also extended its exclusive distribution rights for Yulgang in China until March 2011. Another new update for Yulgang is planned for later this year. Updates are also planned for the company's other games including a major update for Shaiya in the second quarter.

CDC Games completed a successful closed beta test of The Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) last year. The game's commercial launch has been delayed due to technical issues related to the nature of China's IT infrastructure. As a result, LOTRO is planned for commercial launch later this year.

"We are very pleased with our Adjusted EBITDA improvement in the fourth quarter, and our sequential quarter revenue improvement," said Simon Wong, CEO of CDC Games. "While we are disappointed with the delays for the commercial launch of LOTRO, we believe it is important that the game be fully tested for optimal technical performance, so it is now scheduled for later this year. We are also excited about our new domestic games planned for each quarter of this year, with two planned in the first half of this year. In addition, we have extended our license for Yulgang until March 2011 and have recently launched a major new update of the game which has been delivering increased metrics. We also expect to launch new updates for all our games, including a major update of Shaiya, in the coming quarters. With the planned new local games in our pipeline and the new updates of our other games, we expect continued improvement in our operating metrics for 2010." China.com     Q3 2009   Q4 2009 Revenue: $2.7 million $4.1 million Adjusted EBITDA: ($0.4) million $0.8 million Adjusted EBITDA Margin: (14%) 20% During 2009, China.com saw a negative impact to its portal's advertising revenue as a result of the China government's tightened regulation of online healthcare and medicine ads. China.com is addressing the impact of that regulation through the expansion of content for its vertical channels, including its popular automobile channel. Its portal business, in conjunction with the China Auto Dealers Association, conducted the third annual automobile consumer reputation survey, a popular program that surveys brands and services in the automobile industry in various cities in China that is covered extensively by the media. Additionally, China.com's auto channel won a media award that is one of the oldest and considered most reputable in the auto industry. Its games channel was awarded "Outstanding anime/comic/game media award" by the General Administration of Press and Publication's (GAPP) game committee and China.com received the "Outstanding network innovation" award for the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China, which was jointly given by the Beijing Municipality Internet Marketing Management Office and Beijing Association of Online Media. Also in the fourth quarter, TTG, China.com's publishing business, secured a management contract with the Tourism Development Division of the Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources, for the management Asian Tourism Forum (ATF) event.

Bbmf CDC Corporation also holds a 20 percent equity interest in Bbmf. The company launched its first 3G comics in the summer of 2006 and has since grown organically to become one of the largest independent operators of 3G comics in Japan. Bbmf currently offers about 20,000 titles and four million pages of comic content licensed from approximately 1,000 authors and 100 publishers, which is considered to be one of the largest libraries in Japan. Bbmf also has one of the world's largest comic print to mobile production centers. The 3G comic operator is evaluating various options in their domestic and international growth strategy. CDC Corporation expects Bbmf to continue to grow rapidly in this exciting 3G mobile content/Internet social networking space.

Concluding Remarks Yip concluded, "Overall, we are pleased with the performance of our businesses despite challenging market conditions. We remain cautiously optimistic with regard to our long-term prospects since we believe we now have an optimal business and technology platform in place for all of our key businesses. Furthermore, management believes that CDC Corporation has a sum-of-parts valuation and its price is not reflective of the value contained in the company's underlying assets of its four key businesses. As a result, we are considering possible strategic alternatives that may include strategic transactions or the periodic distribution of certain of these assets by CDC Corporation. As we have previously stated, we are actively considering very carefully the most tax efficient and orderly manner to distribute registered shares of our underlying publicly listed subsidiaries to our shareholders. These potential distributions would be managed, after consulting with our tax advisor and capital market experts, to enhance the liquidity of these subsidiaries.

As part of these strategies, the board of CDC Corporation plans to seek shareholder approval for the execution of a reverse split of CDC Corporation's common stock at a ratio of three to one. We believe this will help reduce related administrative expenses and maximize shareholder participation in any potential distributions we may make." Guidance CDC Corporation offers the following guidance for 2010, based upon preliminary financial results, information and estimates: 2010 Revenue: $352 million - $358 million, an increase of 10-12 percent from $320.1 million in 2009 2010 Adjusted EBITDA: $48 million - $51 million, an increase of 12-19 percent from $42.7 million in 2009.
