NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). Significant accounting policies followed by the Group in the preparation of its accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiary and VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiary and VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation.
A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors; to cast majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.
The Company applies guidance that requires certain VIEs to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including trade receivables, inventory and work in process, property and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill and derivative liabilities, and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Group's reporting and functional currency is the Renminbi ("RMB"), the official currency in the PRC. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates quoted by the People's Bank of China (the "PBOC") prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB using the applicable exchange rates quoted by the PBOC at the applicable balance sheet dates. All such exchange gains or losses are included in foreign currency exchange gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations. Non-monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies have been remeasured at historical rates.
EFUTURE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Convenience Translation
The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 have been translated into U.S. dollars ("US$" or "$") solely for the convenience of the reader. Translations of amounts from RMB into US$ have been calculated at the exchange rate of RMB6.2939 per US$1.00, as published on the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as at December 31, 2011. These translated U.S. dollar amounts should not be construed as representing Chinese Yuan amounts or that the Chinese Yuan amounts have been or could be converted, realized or settled into U.S. dollars at that rate on December 31, 2011, or at any other rate.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The Group records certain of its financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value reflects the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
The Group applies a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, other receivables due from previously consolidated entities, advances to suppliers, refundable value added tax, advances to employees, prepaid expenses, trade payables, taxes payable, other payables, accrued liabilities and advances from customers approximates fair value due to their immediate or short-term nature. The single compound embedded derivative within convertible notes we issued was recorded at fair value at the date of issuance, which was measured by using unobservable (Level 3) inputs.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
EFUTURE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand and demand deposits with original maturities of no more than three months. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, RMB57.2 million (US$9.1 million) and RMB73.3 million of the Group's cash and cash equivalents were not maintained in US banks or financial institutions, which are not protected by FDIC insurance or other insurance.
Trade and Other receivables, net
Trade receivables, net are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when the collection is doubtful and a loss is probable and estimable. The Group maintains an allowance for potentially uncollectible trade receivables based on its assessment of the collectability of trade receivables. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Group considers many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer's past payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends.
As of December 31, 2011, no customer individually accounted for more than 10% of total trade receivables.
Other receivables consist of miscellaneous items arising from transactions with non-trade customers.
The Group writes off receivables when they are deemed uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on the receivables for which doubtful accounts was specifically provided are recognized as other income in the consolidated financial statements.
Inventory and Work in Process
Inventory is comprised of purchased hardware and software available for resale and other consumable materials. Labor and overhead costs are allocated to each contract based on actual labor hours incurred. Work in process consists of labor and overhead costs and outsourced service fees incurred on services contracts that have not been completed. Inventory and work in process are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Provisions are made for excess, slow moving and obsolete purchased hardware and software held for resale, as well as for inventories and work in process with carrying values in excess of net realizable value. The Group uses the future selling price less the estimated taxes and future expenditure as the estimates of net realizable value on contract basis.
Deferred Offering Costs
The Group capitalizes direct and incremental costs associated with the acquisition of equity financing, which will be netted against the actual equity proceeds. If the equity offering is abandoned, the deferred offering costs will be charged to expense.
Long-term Investments
The Group accounts for an equity investment over which it has significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control using the equity method. For equity investments over which the Group does not have significant influence, cost method accounting is used.
EFUTURE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
On March 15, 2010, the Company acquired 15% of the equity interest of cFuture with total cash consideration of RMB240,000. The Company is required to perform an impairment assessment of its investments whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be fully recoverable. As of December 31, 2011, the Company determined that such events and changes occurred and were other-than-temporary. Thus, impairment of RMB240,000 was made to write down the asset to its fair value and take the corresponding charge to the consolidated statements of operations.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Motor vehicles | | 5 Years |
Leasehold improvements | | shorter of 3 Years or Lease Term |
Office equipment | | 4 Years |
Communication equipment | | 4 Years |
Software | | 4 Years |
The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred and major improvements are capitalized. Gains or losses on sales or retirements are included in the operation results in the year of disposition.
Intangible Assets - Computer Software Costs and Research and Development
The Group charges all development costs to research and development expenses which include salaries, contractor fees, utilities, administrative expenses and other allocated expenses until technological feasibility has been established. Technological feasibility is established when a detail program design or working model is completed. After reaching technological feasibility, additional software costs are capitalized until the software is available for general release to customers. The capitalized software development expenditures is subject to amortization on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful lives, which is the shorter of four years or the estimated period of realization of revenue from the related software. The subsequent expenditure in connection with major upgrade for the developed intangible assets is capitalized as incurred.
Business Combination and Goodwill
The Group accounts for business combination using the purchase method of accounting. This method requires that the acquisition cost to be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable intangible assets, and the liabilities that the Group acquires based on their estimated fair values. The Group makes estimates and judgments in determining the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities based on its experience with similar assets and liabilities in similar industries. If different judgments or assumptions were used, the amounts assigned to the individual acquired assets or liabilities could be materially different.
EFUTURE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired business. In a business acquisition, any acquired intangible assets that do not meet separate recognition criteria are recognized as goodwill.
No amortization is recorded for goodwill. The Group tests goodwill on an annual basis or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of the goodwill below its carrying amount. The impairment of goodwill is determined by estimating the fair value based upon the present value of future cash flows. In estimating the future cash flows, the Group takes into consideration the overall and industry economic conditions and trends, market risk of the Group and historical information.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Group may recognize impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to these assets. If impairment exists, the impairment amount is recognized for the difference between the fair value of the asset and its carrying value.
Revenue Recognition
The Group recognizes revenue when (1) it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, (2) delivery has occurred, (3) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped or services have been rendered to the client and the client has signed a completion and acceptance report, risk of loss has transferred to the client, client acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that the criteria specified in client acceptance provisions have been satisfied. The sales price is not considered to be fixed or determinable until all contingencies related to the sale have been resolved.
The Group's policy requires the customers to make payments before delivery has occurred or service has rendered. Such unearned amounts billed to customers are recorded as advances from customers in the Group's consolidated financial statements, until the above criteria have been met.
Revenue from software and hardware sales represents the invoiced value of products sold, net of a value-added tax ("VAT"). All of the Group's software and hardware that are sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese VAT at a rate of 17% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by the Group on externally purchased software and hardware from suppliers. The VAT amounts paid and available for offset are maintained in current liabilities.
In respect of revenues on self-developed software sales, a VAT refund at a rate of 14% of the gross sales price is approved by the Chinese local government. The VAT subjected to the refund is recorded as refundable value added tax in the Group's consolidated financial statements.
EFUTURE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Group provides the following products and services: self-developed software, purchased software, purchased hardware, system design and integration, and professional services, including post contract maintenance and technical support.
Software
The Group sells self-developed software and software purchased from other vendors.
For software sales, the Group recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition. Revenue from perpetual (one-time charge) licensed software is recognized at the inception of the license term. Revenue from term (monthly license charge) arrangements is recognized on a subscription basis over the period that the customer is using the license. The Group does not provide any rights of return or warranties on its software.
Revenues applicable to multiple-element fee arrangements are bifurcated among the elements such as software, hardware and post-contract service using vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value. Such evidence consists of pricing of multiple elements when those same elements are sold as separate products or arrangements. Software maintenance for the first year and initial training are included in the purchase price of the software. Initial training is provided at the time of installation and is recognized as income as part of the price of the software since it is minimal in value. Maintenance is valued based on the fee schedule used by the Group for providing the regular level of maintenance service as sold to customers when renewing their maintenance contracts on a stand alone basis.
Software revenues include VAT refund received from the Chinese local government on the sales of certain software. Such refund is granted to the Group as part of the PRC government's policy to encourage software development in the PRC, and is recorded as a component of revenue when the relevant compliance requirements are met, there are no further obligations, and are not subject to future returns or reimbursements.
Hardware
Revenue from hardware sales is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and there are no unfulfilled obligations that affect the customer's final acceptance of the arrangement. If hardware deliverable is one of the elements in a multiple-elements arrangement, the Group recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC subtopic 605-25 ("ASC 605-25"), Revenue recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements. Because generally the hardware is a standalone sale and the software components are not essential to the functionality of hardware. Revenue of hardware is carved out from the total consideration based on best estimated selling price which is cost plus a reasonable margin. The software components is within the scope of ASC985-605, which should applied the same method as software deliverables. By the adoption of ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 in 2011, there was no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Services
Professional service
The Group provides system integration which involves the design and development of complex IT systems to the customer's specifications. These services are provided on a fixed-price contract and the contract terms are generally short-term. Revenue is recognized on the completed contract method when delivery and acceptance is determined by a completion report signed by the customer.
EFUTURE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Group offers telephone and minimal on-site support to its customers. Revenue from maintenance services and technical support is recognized over the period of the agreement.
For those contracts containing multiple-delivery elements of software, customization, training and 1 year maintenance service, residual method under ASC 985-605 is adopted. Vendor-specific objective evidence is only established for maintenance service by the renewal contract quoted at certain percentage of original contract price. There was no vendor-specific objective evidence established for other deliverables. If contract only contains a completion date, then upon the date obtained the "Final Acceptance Report" from customer, part of contract amount is recognised as revenue on completion method; the remaining part will be recognised evenly over the free maintenance service period.
Cost of Revenues
Costs associated with contracts are deferred and recognized as inventory and work in process until the services are rendered, the products and software are installed and delivered to and accepted by the customer. When the criteria for revenue recognition have been met, costs incurred are recognized as cost of revenues. Cost of revenues include labor costs, materials, overhead expenses, business taxes related to certain services revenues and other expenses associated with the development of IT systems to customers' specifications, the cost of purchased hardware and software, and costs related to technical support services. Amortization of capitalized software costs and costs of acquired technology are included in the cost of revenues.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Total advertising expense were RMB133,247, RMB136,500, and RMB283,710 (US$45,077) for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Group recognizes deferred income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Group has met the "more likely than not" standard imposed by ASC subtopic 740-10.
The Group adopted the provisions of ASC subtopic 740-10 ("ASC 740-10"), Income Taxes: Overall, on January 1, 2008. ASC 740-10 clarified the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The Group did not incur a cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption of ASC 740-10 nor did the standard have a material impact on the Group's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
EFUTURE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In general, the PRC tax authorities have up to five years to conduct examinations of the Group's tax filings. Accordingly, the PRC subsidiaries' tax years 2007-2011 remain open to examination by the respective taxing jurisdictions.
Statutory Reserves
eFuture Beijing, as a wholly foreign owned enterprise incorporated in the PRC, is required on an annual basis to make appropriations of net profits, after the recovery of accumulated deficit, to a general reserve fund and a staff bonus and welfare fund. These reserve funds are set at certain percentage of after-tax profit determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations (the "PRC GAAP"). The percentage of the appropriation for general reserve fund is at least 10%, and the percentage of the appropriation for staff bonus and welfare fund is at the discretion of its boards of directors.
Wangku, Biaoshang and Changshengtiandi, as domestic enterprises incorporated in the PRC, are required on an annual basis to make an appropriation of net profits, after the recovery of accumulated deficit, to a statutory reserve fund. The statutory reserve fund is set at the percentage of not lower than 10% of the after-tax profit determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP.
Once the level of the general reserve fund and the statutory reserve fund reach 50% of the registered capital of the underlying entities, further appropriations to these funds are discretionary. The Group's statutory reserves can only be used for specific purposes of enterprises expansion and staff bonus and welfare, and are not distributable to the shareholders except in the event of liquidation. Appropriations to these funds are accounted for as transfers from retained earnings to the statutory reserves.
For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively, no appropriation was made to the above statutory reserves. For the year ended December 31, 2011, RMB221,507 was made to statutory reserves of eFuture Beijing. As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, the amount comprising the general reserve fund of RMB3,084,020 and RMB3,305,527, respectively.
Dividends
Dividends are recorded when declared. No dividends were declared for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
PRC regulations currently permit payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with PRC GAAP. The Company's PRC subsidiaries can only distribute dividends after they have met the PRC requirements for appropriation to statutory reserves (see note 2, Statutory Reserves).
Convertible Debt and Embedded Derivatives
The Group applies ASC subtopic 470-20 ("ASC 470-20"), Debt with Conversion Options — Recognition. The Group identifies any embedded derivative instruments that may be contained within its convertible debt instruments in accordance with the provisions of ASC subtopic 815-10 ("ASC 815-10"), Derivatives and Hedging — Overall and records the fair value of such derivatives separately from the value of the host instrument. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations for each reporting period. The fair value of the embedded derivative is bifurcated from the host contract at inception and is recorded as a discount to the face value of the convertible debt. The discount is amortized as additional finance cost over the period of the debt. Refer to note 16 for more detail.
EFUTURE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Net Earnings (Loss) per share of Ordinary shares
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders as adjusted for the effect of dilutive ordinary equivalent shares, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive potential ordinary equivalents shares outstanding during the period. Potential ordinary shares equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock, convertible notes, the exercise of stock options and warrants and restricted shares subject to cancellation.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC subtopic 718-10 ("ASC 718-10"), Compensation-Stock Compensation: Overall. Under the provisions of ASC 718-10, share-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award's fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) option-pricing model and is recognized as expense net of a forfeiture rate over the requisite service period. The BSM model requires various highly judgmental assumptions including volatility and expected option life. Volatility is measured using historical daily price changes of ordinary shares over the respective expected life of the option. Expected option life is the number of years that the Company estimates, based on the vesting and contractual terms and employee demographics. The estimate of forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change. If any of the assumptions used in the BSM model change significantly, share-based compensation expenses may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period.
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The guidance does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The guidance should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income: Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. This guidance allows the FASB to redeliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. While the FASB is considering the operational concerns about the presentation requirements for reclassification adjustments and the needs of financial statement users for additional information about reclassification adjustments, entities should continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with the presentation requirements in effect before update the pronouncement issued in June 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.
EFUTURE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The guidance is intended to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. The guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is "more likely than not" that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if a public entity's financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The Group is now assessing the impact on its financial condition or results of operations for adoption of this accounting pronouncement.
In December 2011, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The guidance requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
On February 11 and February 12, 2010, in connection with Royalstone acquisition and Proadvancer acquisition, the Company issued 169,584 and 60,405 ordinary shares as the final satisfaction of the purchase obligations, respectively.
On March 29 and April 15, 2010, options to purchase 793 and 330 ordinary shares were exercised by two employees, respectively.
On September 23, 2010, the Company signed a Share Purchase Agreement ("September Agreement") to sell 337,685 ordinary shares to 13 purchasers including board members, management and key employees of the Company for total cash consideration of RMB12.2 million (US$1.8 million). The price of the shares is equal to US$5.37 per share, the average closing price of the Company's ordinary shares for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, September 23, 2010. 152,604 of the shares was purchased by eFuture Inc., a Cayman Islands holding company controlled by the Company's chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Adam Yan. The remaining 185,081 shares were sold to 12 individuals including a board member (other than independent directors), management and key employees of the Company. The net proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares is used for general corporate purposes. The shares are restricted within 180-day lockup periods. The issuance or register of such shares was completed on January 6, 2011.
Subsequent to the issuance in September Agreement, the Company was contacted by both Capital Ventures International ("Capital Ventures") and Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd. ("Hudson Bay"), each of which holds Series A Warrants in connection with a financing transaction completed on March 13, 2007. Each of Capital Ventures and Hudson Bay claimed that the September Agreement constituted a dilutive issuance under their outstanding Series A Warrants. While the Company disagreed at the time with this analysis, it recognized that an adverse judicial determination could result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders if the anti-dilution features of the warrants were triggered. Specifically, the investors currently hold 184,077 warrants in the aggregate, exercisable at $28.25 per warrant.

EFUTURE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
| | | 2005 Plan I | | | 2005 Plan II | | | 2009 Plan |
Grant date | | | January 31, 2007 | | | September 17, 2007 | | | December 11, 2009 |
Expected life | | | 6.5 years | | | 6.5 years | | | 5.25 years |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 4.82% | | | 4.32% | | | 2.94% |
Expected volatility | | | 75% | | | 75% | | | 100% |
Expected dividend yield | | | 0% | | | 0% | | | 0% |
Forfeiture rate | | | 3% | | | 3% | | | 3% |
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. The Company recognized share-based compensation expense of 2005 Plan using a straight line basis over the requisite service period, whereas, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of 2009 Plan using a graded vesting attribution method.

NOTE 12. NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST
On January 1, 2009, the Group adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810-10-65, "Consolidations -Overall -Transition and Open Effective Date Information". This accounting standard defines a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary as the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent and requires a non-controlling interest to be presented as a separate component of equity in the consolidated balance sheet. This standard also modifies the presentation of net income by requiring earnings and other comprehensive income to be attributed to controlling and non-controlling interest.
Previously, non-controlling interest's share of loss is only limited to the capital contribution in the entity and any excess loss is absorbed in the consolidation of majority shareholder. As a result of the adoption of this standard, Biaoshang and Wangku were in net deficit positions that the previous non-controlling interest should share their loss with effective from 2009.
NOTE 13. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES AND OTHER LONG-TERM INVESTMENT
(a) Variable interest entities
ASC 810, Consolidation, requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is the primary beneficiary of that variable interest entity.
To satisfy PRC laws and regulations, the Group conducts its internet information and certain other businesses in the PRC via its variable interest entities. These variable interest entities are directly owned by certain employees of the Company. Capital for the variable interest entities is funded by the Company through loans provided to those employees, and is initially recorded as loans to related parties. These loans are eliminated for accounting purposes with the capital of variable interest entities during consolidation.
Under contractual agreements with the Company, employees who are shareholders of the variable interest entities are required to transfer their ownership in these entities to the Company, if permitted by PRC laws and regulations, or, if not so permitted, to designees of the Company at any time to repay the loans outstanding. All voting rights of the variable interest entities are assigned to the Company, and the Company has the right to designate all directors and senior management personnel of the variable interest entities. Employees who are shareholders of the variable interest entities have pledged their shares in the variable interest entities as collateral for the loans. As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, the aggregate amount of these loans was RMB9,762,679 and RMB1,500,000, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
According to the PRC Corporate Income Tax Law, or the CIT Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008, as further clarified by subsequent tax regulations implementing the CIT Law, foreign-invested enterprises and domestic enterprises are subject to corporate income tax, at a uniform rate of 25%. The CIT rate of enterprises established before March 16, 2007 that were eligible for preferential tax rates according to then effective tax laws and regulations will gradually transition to the uniform 25% CIT rate by January 1, 2013. In addition, certain enterprises may still benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the CIT Law if they qualify as "high and new technology enterprises strongly supported by the state," subject to certain general factors described in the CIT Law and the related regulations.
In December 2008, the Company's subsidiary eFuture Beijing was designated as "High and New Technology Enterprises" under the CIT Law, which entitles it to a preferential CIT rate of 15% from 2008 to 2013. Biaoshang and Wangku were subject to a 25% tax rate in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
The CIT Law treats enterprises established outside of China with "effective management and control" located in China as PRC resident enterprises for tax purposes. The term "effective management and control" is generally defined as exercising overall management and control over the business, personnel, accounting, properties, etc. of an enterprise. The Company, if considered a PRC resident enterprise for tax purposes, would be subject to the PRC CIT at the rate of 25% on its worldwide income for the period after January 1, 2008. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has not accrued for PRC tax on such basis. The Company will continue to monitor its tax status.

The Group recorded a valuation allowance against the 2011 operating loss carry forwards of Changshengtiandi as of December 31, 2011, as the Group believes it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2010, the Group had no operating loss carry forwards unused.
The Group has evaluated its income tax uncertainty under ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The Group has elected to classify interest and penalties related to an uncertain tax position, if and when required, as part of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, no unrecognized tax benefits or interest and penalties associated with uncertainty in income taxes have been recognized.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The convertible notes were due on March 12, 2012 and bear interest per annum as below, payable quarterly:
Period | | Interest Rate |
March 13, 2007-March 12, 2008 | | | 3 | % |
March 13, 2008-March 12, 2009 | | | 5 | % |
March 13, 2009-March 12, 2010 | | | 7 | % |
March 13, 2010-March 12, 2012 | | | 10 | % |
The convertible notes were initially convertible into 400,160 ordinary shares of the Company at $24.99 per share. Pursuant to the Agreement, the conversion price was reset to $19.00 per share on June 11, 2008 since the market price of the Company's ordinary shares was below $19.00 at that day. The maximum number of Ordinary shares into which the Convertible Notes were convertible, based on a conversion Floor Price of $19.00 per share, was 526,316 Shares. If the Company fails to convert timely, the Company shall pay damages to the Holder for each Trading Day of such Conversion Failure in an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of the sum of the number of Ordinary shares not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and the Closing Sale Price of the Ordinary shares on the Share Delivery Date.
The Agreement contains an optional redemption right whereby if the market price of the ordinary shares for any thirty consecutive trading days following the optional redemption eligibility date exceeds 150% of the conversion price $24.99 on the issuance date (subject to appropriate adjustments for share splits, share dividends, share combinations and other similar transactions after the subscription date) and there has been no equity conditions failure, the Company has the right to redeem all or any portion of the remaining unconverted notes.
The Agreement also contains a Make-Whole provision which guarantees the payment of the present value of the interest that, but for the applicable conversion or redemption, would have been paid to the holder through the maturity date minus the amount of interest already paid to the holder through the conversion date or optional redemption date.
The Series A warrants are exercisable by the holder within five years on any day on or after September 9, 2007 for an aggregate of 184,077 Shares, at an initial price of $28.25 per ordinary share, subject to adjustment. Series B warrants have expired since they had a one year life and were exercisable on any day on or after September 9, 2007 to purchase an aggregate of 230,097 ordinary shares, with an initial exercise price of $24.99 per Share. Warrants were also issued to the Placement Agent to purchase 73,291 ordinary shares of the Company, exercisable by the Holder within five years on any day on or after September 9, 2007 at an initial price of $24.99. The Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants contain a cashless exercise option that if at any time following one calendar year from the Date of Issuance a Registration Statement is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares, the Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and elect instead to receive upon such exercise the "Net Number" of ordinary shares determined according to the defined formula.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
On June 12, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Company's registration statement effective. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds of the sale of the shares by the Selling Shareholders; however, the Company could receive up to $12,781,841 from the exercise by the Selling Shareholders and Placement Agent of all of the Series A, Series B and Placement Agent warrants at their current prices of $28.25, $24.99 and $24.99, respectively.
The Company identified the following instruments and derivatives requiring valuation and accounting under the relevant guidance applicable to financial derivatives:
| • | Conversion price reset feature |
| • | Company's optional early redemption right |
| • | Warrants with exercise price reset feature |
The Company identified the conversion price reset feature, the optional early redemption right and the make-whole provision within the Convertible Notes to represent embedded derivatives. These embedded derivatives were bifurcated from the host debt contracts and accounted for as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. The conversion price reset feature, the optional early redemption right and the make-whole provision within the Convertible Notes were bundled together as a single hybrid compound instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging.
The Company identified the ordinary share warrants to be derivatives. The warrants contain an exercise price reset provision and are classified as a derivative liability.
The single compound embedded derivative within convertible notes was recorded at fair value at the date of issuance (March 13, 2007). The Company utilized a third party valuation firm to determine the fair value of the single compound embedded derivatives by using the Monte Carlo method when the conversion price was adjustable, and by the binomial tree model when the conversion price effectively became fixed, subsequent to the price reset on June 11, 2008. The valuation methodology uses unobservable (Level 3) inputs in calculating fair value.
The derivative was not intended to hedge any specific risk exposures, such as fluctuating interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, etc. Therefore, the derivative constituted neither a cash flow hedge, nor a fair value hedge. The volume of derivative activity relates solely to the embedded derivative instrument itself, and changes in fair value thereon.
The effect of the derivative instrument on the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 was as follows:

The fair value of these derivatives was determined to be RMB87,775,199 and was recorded as a derivative liability at inception. The debt discount amount of RMB77,255,180 is being accreted through charges to the statement of operations using the effective interest method over the period of the note obligations. At December 31, 2010 and 2011, the fair value of the derivatives recognized in the balance sheets was RMB354,420 and RMB3,168 (US$503), respectively. The gain on derivatives recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 were RMB1,290,329, RMB3,429,479 and RMB347,565 (US$55,223), respectively.

On November 29, 2010, the Company entered into two separate exchange agreements (the "November Agreements") with Capital Ventures and Hudson Bay to settle a disagreement, whereby the Company exchanged the outstanding Series A Warrants held by each of Capital Ventures and Hudson Bay for a new Series A Warrants to purchase the same number of ordinary shares and under exactly the same terms prescribed by the Series A Warrants and an additional 20,000 ordinary shares of the Company which were restricted and could not be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned prior to May 28, 2011, respectively.

The Group incurred rental expense, of RMB5,477,804, RMB6,028,173 and RMB7,899,217 (US$1,255,059) for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. All leases agreements have different lease periods, ranging from 1 year to 4 years.
Software Infringement Indemnity — Standard software license agreements contain an infringement indemnity clause under which the company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless customers and business partners against liability and damages arising from claims of various copyright or other intellectual property infringements by their software products. The terms constitute a form of guarantee that is subject to the provision.
We estimate the fair value of our indemnification obligations as insignificant, based on our historical experience concerning product and patent infringement claims. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for indemnification under these agreements as of December 31, 2010 and 2011.
Litigation — In August 2002, the Group was sued for the termination of contracts between the Group and another party. The other party sued for costs and losses in the amount of RMB665,500 (US$82,464). The case was resolved on September 26, 2008 and the Group is liable to pay RMB403,300. The Group recorded this amount in other payables as of December 31, 2010. It was paid in 2011.
The Group from time to time is involved in disputes and litigation arising out of the normal course of business. On October 12, 2011, the plaintiff, Microsoft Corporation, filed four software copyright infringement claims against eFuture Beijing at Wuhan Intermediate People's Court. Under these claims, the plaintiff demands eFuture Beijing's immediate cease of use of the infringing software products, a damage of total RMB2,000,000 (US$317,768) for the loss suffered by the plaintiff, the recovery for reasonable expenses incurred to the plaintiff and the litigation fees. eFuture Beijing disagrees that Wuhan Intermediate People's Court has the jurisdiction to hear these cases, and is currently in the process of requesting a review of jurisdiction from the Supreme People's Court. The Group evaluated that the compensation appealed by the plaintiff was not sufficiently supported by a reasonable basis. Thus the Group did not have any base for estimates of potential losses.
The Group was not aware of any potential unasserted claims that would have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
