REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Sou Yi Lian Mei Network Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sou Yi Lian Mei Network Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and its subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company, as of December 31, 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SOU YI LIAN MEI NETWORK TECHNOLOGY (BEIJING) CO., LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATMENTS
 
1.  
Organization and nature of operations
 
Sou Yi Lian Mei Network Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on October 23, 2007 in Beijing, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The registered capital of the Company is RMB1,000,000 (approximately US$0.16 million). The Company is primarily engaged in providing online advertising and marketing services to small startup businesses and operates its business primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jin Du Ya He (Beijing) Network Technology Co., Ltd (“Jin Du Ya He”). On December 20, 2011, Business Opportunity Online (Hubei) Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Business Opportunity Online Hubei”), a consolidated Variable Interest Entity of ChinaNet Online Holdings, Inc. (“ChinaNet Online”) (a Nevada corporation of the United States of America and whose shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market) acquired a 51% equity interest in the Company and the Company became a majority-owned subsidiary of Business Opportunity Online Hubei and a consolidated Variable Interest Entity of ChinaNet Online.
 
2.  
Summary of significant accounting policies
 
a)  
Basis of presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
 
b)  
Principles of consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary. All transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiary have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
c)  
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 experiences and various other assumptions that the Company believes 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)  
Foreign currency translation and transactions
 
The functional currency of the Company is Renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company, which are prepared using the RMB, are translated into the United States Dollar (“US$”), the reporting currency of ChinaNet Online, the Company’s ultimate holding company. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during the reporting period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in equity.
 
 
F-6

 
SOU YI LIAN MEI NETWORK TECHNOLOGY (BEIJING) CO., LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATMENTS
 
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 statement of income and comprehensive income for the reporting period.
 
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into US$ for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements are as follows:
 
   
As of
December 31,
2011
 
       
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts
    6.3647  
 
   
Year Ended
December 31,
2011
 
Items in the statement of income and comprehensive income, and statement of cash flows
    6.4735  
 
No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be converted into US$ at the above rates.
 
e)  
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.
 
f)  
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.
 
All of the Company’s accounts receivable are non-interest bearing. Based on the assessment of the collectability of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2011, the Company provided US$nil allowance for doubtful debts.

SOU YI LIAN MEI NETWORK TECHNOLOGY (BEIJING) CO., LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATMENTS
 
g)  
Equipment, net
 
Equipment is 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:
 
Office equipment
3 years
 
Depreciation expenses are included in selling expenses and general and administrative 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.
 
h)  
Financial instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, prepayment to suppliers, due from immediate holding company, accounts payable, advances from customers, taxes payable, due to related party and accruals. 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.
 
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.
 
i)  
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-8

 
SOU YI LIAN MEI NETWORK TECHNOLOGY (BEIJING) CO., LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATMENTS
 
Sales are revenues from internet advertising and related marketing services. Advertising contracts establish the fixed price and advertising and marketing services to be provided.  Pursuant to the 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.
 
j)  
Cost of sales
 
Cost of sales primarily includes the cost of internet advertising related resources and other technical services purchased from third parties and PRC business tax.
 
k)  
Advertising costs
 
Advertising costs for the Company’s brand building activities 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 year ended December 31, 2011, advertising expenses for the Company’s brand building activities were insignificant.
 
l)  
Income taxes
 
The Company follows the guidance of ASC Topic 740 “Income taxes” and uses 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 the statement of income and comprehensive income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
ASC Topic 740 also 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 year ended December 31, 2011, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions and did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

m)  
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 in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet are the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
n)  
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 has 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.
 
o)  
Recent accounting standards
 
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This guidance improves the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and increases the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The guidance provided by this update becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
 
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 financial statements upon adoption.

The tax authority of the PRC conducts periodic and ad hoc tax filing reviews on business enterprises operating in the PRC after those enterprises had completed their relevant tax filings, hence the Company’s tax filings may not be finalized. It is therefore uncertain as to whether the PRC tax authority may take different views about the Company’s tax filings which may lead to additional tax liabilities.”

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 Company and its subsidiary make contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries. The Company and its subsidiary have no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions made. The total amount for such employee benefits, which was expensed as incurred, was approximately US$56,100 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

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, other receivables, prepayment to suppliers, due from immediate holding company. As of December 31, 2011, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality.

The registered capital of the Company is RMB1,000,000 (approximately US$0.16 million). The Company is primarily engaged in providing online advertising and marketing services to small startup businesses and operates its business primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jin Du Ya He (Beijing) Network Technology Co., Ltd (“Jin Du Ya He”). On December 20, 2011, Business Opportunity Online (Hubei) Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Business Opportunity Online Hubei”), a consolidated Variable Interest Entity of ChinaNet Online Holdings, Inc. (“ChinaNet Online”) (a Nevada corporation of the United States of America and whose shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market) acquired a 51% equity interest in the Company and the Company became a majority-owned subsidiary of Business Opportunity Online Hubei and a consolidated Variable Interest Entity of ChinaNet Online.

Summary of significant accounting policies
 
a)  
Basis of presentation
 
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information, using accounting policies that are consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. Accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements.
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, operating results and cash flows of the Company for each of the periods presented. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2011. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
 
b)  
Foreign currency translation and transactions
 
The functional currency of the Company is Renminbi (“RMB”). For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company, which are prepared using the RMB, are translated into the United States Dollar (“US$”), the reporting currency of ChinaNet Online, the Company’s ultimate holding company. 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 equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in 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 statements of income and comprehensive income for the respective periods.

No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be converted into US$ at the above rates.
 
c)  
Advertising costs
 
Advertising costs for the Company’s brand building activities 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, 2012 and 2011, advertising expenses for the Company’s brand building activities were insignificant.
 
d)  
Income taxes
 
The Company follows the guidance of ASC Topic 740 “Income taxes” and uses 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 the statement of income and comprehensive income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
ASC Topic 740 also 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 months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions and did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

Much of the information provided in these consolidated financial statements is similar to, or the same as, that reviewed on a regular basis by the Company’s COMD. As a result, the Company operates and manages its business as a single operating segment.
