GROWING FACTORS MACRO ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT AND THE CHARACTERISTICS

Three Macro Growing Factors • China economic transition (tertiary industry): the pace of urbanization continues with the franchise/distribution/dealership industry entering into high - growth period. • Chinese overall economic growth leads to SMEs continuing to increase (at least 2 to 3 times). Business demands are constantly growing (the characteristics of the Chinese people). • The rapidly increasing internet penetration rate drives growth in the internet advertising & marketing industry. 38

Macro Driver #1 • China is gradually transforming into the tertiary industry: service and franchise demands will rapidly grow. CAGR will be 10 - 12% in the next five years. • Urbanization is accelerating; CAGR will be 4% for the next 7 years and every 1% increase would trigger USD23 billion domestic consumption. This will improve the demand of standardized management for franchise services. • The Chinese domestic supply channels are modernizing with CAGR of 10 - 12% in the next 5 years 39

Macro Driver #2 • The overall number of SMEs are still expecting to grow by 7% in average, because of the favorable macroeconomic conditions; – Entrepreneurs in China are growing at a rapid pace – There are at least 55 million of potential entrepreneurial families in China • The SME sector still has at least 2.3 to 3.8 times of growth in the next 7 years • The franchising results of the clothes and food industries are among the best and both industries are still growing. – For now, the traditional sales channel expansion are still full of attractiveness; – Case study: COFCO. Not only SMEs, but large enterprises are also expanding sales channel by franchising, especially in fast - moving consumer goods(FMCG). • There are at least 3.5 million franchisees, representing 350 billion business opportunities 40

Macro Driver #3 • In 2010, Chinese internet penetration rate is only 34.8%,which ranked the lowest in advanced regions in Asia. – The average penetration rate of the top five countries was 75.2%; – The future penetration rate will increase by a CAGR of 10.2% in China; – Each additional 1% increase represents 7 million new Internet users; • 10% represents 70 million new Internet users.; • DICC forecasted the internet advertising market will grow 27.4% from 2010 • Marketing for vertical portals will grow by at least 20% from 2010 41

The Conclusion of Total Market Size • Target customer base is over 400,000 SMEs. Over the next five - years the consolidated CAGR will increase by more than 15% or more: -- These 400,000 customers have an average annual sales of over $1 million. If they paid $15,385 (per year) to do channel marketing promotion on the internet per year (2% of total sales), the target market size to ChinaNet would be approximately: US$6 billion (2011) US$12 billion (2016) $15,358 is assuming revenues from sales channels promotion services Only ChinaNet is focusing on SMEs 42
