1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

China Information Technology, Inc. (the “Company” or “CNIT”), together with its subsidiaries, is a total solution provider of digital security, geographic, and hospital information systems in the People's Republic of China (“PRC”). The Company’s total solutions include specialized software, hardware, systems integration, and related services organized into three business segments –Geographic Information Systems (“GIS”), Digital Public Security Technology (“DPST”, formerly known as “Digital Information Security Technology (“DIST”)) and Digital Hospital Information System (“DHIS”). These total solutions are provided through the Company’s wholly-owned PRC subsidiaries, Information Security Technology (China) Co., Ltd (“IST”), Information Security Software (China) Co., Ltd (formerly, Information Security Development Technology Co., Ltd), or “ISS,” Shenzhen Bocom Multimedia Display Technology Co., Ltd (“Bocom”), Shenzhen Zhongtian Technology Development Company Ltd (“Zhongtian”), and Huipu Electronics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. ("Huipu"), and through the Company’s variable interest entity (“VIE”), iASPEC Software Co, Ltd (“iASPEC”), and Wuda Geoinformatics Co., Ltd (“Geo”), 57% of which is owned by iASPEC.

On September 3, 2010, Wuda Geoinformatics Co., Ltd (“Geo”), a majority-owned subsidiary of iASPEC Software Co, Ltd (“iASPEC”), the variable interest entity of China Information Technology, Inc. (the “Company”), increased its registered capital from RMB 60,000,000 (approximately $8,849,680) to RMB 79,200,000 (approximately $11,681,588). The RMB 19,200,000 (approximately $2,831,900) increase was contributed by iASPEC, the minority shareholders of Geo and a group of new shareholders, comprising of the management teams of both GEO and iASPEC, including Mr. Jianghuai Lin, the Company’s chief executive officer and the sole shareholder of iASPEC.

The board of directors of iASPEC and the Company approved iASPEC’s less than pro rata contribution of RMB 7,410,000 (approximately $1,092,936), and approved the participation of the management teams of Geo and iASPEC in the capital increase as an incentive and to align their interests with the interests of Geo and iASPEC. As a result of the capital increase, the equity interest owned by iASPEC in Geo was reduced from 57% to 52.54%, and the management teams of Geo and iASPEC now hold 11.02% of the equity interest in Geo.

The operating results of Bocom, Geo, Zhongtian and Huipu have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since February 1, 2008, April 1, 2008, November 1, 2008, and November 1, 2009, their respective acquisition dates.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and its VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(b) Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the U.S. and British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) companies is the United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiaries is the Hong Kong dollars.

The functional currency of the Company’s wholly-owned PRC subsidiaries and its VIE is the Chinese Renminbi Yuan, (“RMB”). RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. The Company’s PRC subsidiaries’ and their VIE’s financial statements are maintained in the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. 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. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

For financial reporting purposes the financial statements of the Company have been translated into United States dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any resulting translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of equity.

(c) Revenue Recognition

The Company generates its revenues primarily from three sources, (1) hardware sales, (2) software sales and (3) system integration services. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" and Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) No.605.35 ("FASB ASC 605.35").

Revenues from hardware products are recognized only when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and upon receipt of customers' acceptance, the price to the customer is fixed or determinable in accordance with the contract, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Software revenues are generated from fixed-price contracts which include the development of software products, and services to customize such software to meet customers' needs. Generally, when the services are determined to be essential to the functionality of the delivered software, revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC 605.35. The percentage of completion for each contract is estimated based on the ratio of direct labor hours incurred to total estimated direct labor hours. The Company provides post contract support (PCS), which includes telephone technical support, that is not essential to the functionality of the software. Although vendor-specific objective evidence does not exist for PCS, because (1) the PCS fees are included in the total contract amount, (2) the PCS service period is for less than one year, (3) the estimated cost of providing PCS is not significant, and (4) unspecified upgrades/ enhancements offered are minimal and infrequent; the Company recognizes PCS revenue together with the initial fee after delivery and customer acceptance of the software products.

System integration revenues are generated from fixed-price contracts which provide for software development and hardware integration, which involves more than minor modifications to the functionality of the software and hardware products. Accordingly, system integration revenues are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 605.35, using the percentage of completion method of accounting. The percentage of completion for each contract is estimated based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs. Contract periods are usually less than six months, and typical contract periods for PCS are 12 months.

(Except for share and per share amounts)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(c) Revenue Recognition (continued)

System integration projects are billed in accordance with contract terms, which typically require partial payment at the signing of the contract, at delivery and customer acceptance dates, with the remainder due within a stated period of time not exceeding 12 months. Occasionally, the Company enters into contracts which allow a percentage of the total contract price to be paid one to three years after completion of the system integration project. Revenues on these extended payments are recognized upon completion of the terms specified in the contract and when collectability is reasonably assured.

No rights of return are allowed except for non-conforming products, which have been insignificant based on historical experiences. If non-conforming products are returned due to software issues, the Company will provide upgrades or additional customization to suit customers' needs. In cases where non-conformity is a result of integrated hardware, the Company returns the hardware to the original vendor for replacement.

Unbilled accounts receivable consist of estimated future billings for work performed but not yet invoiced to the customer. Unbilled accounts receivable are generally invoiced within one year of completion of the work performed. Changes in estimates for revenues, costs and profits are recognized in the period in which they are determinable. When the Company's estimates indicate that the entire contract will be performed at a loss, a provision for the entire loss is recorded in the current accounting period.

Other revenue mainly consists of income derived from maintenance service and royalty income.

(d) Treasury Stock

The Company repurchases its common stock from time to time in the open market and holds such shares as treasury stock. The Company applies the “cost method” and presents the cost to repurchase such shares as a reduction in shareholders’ equity. As of September 30, 2010, the Company has repurchased 6,000 shares of common stock.

(e) Goodwill

ASC 350-30-50, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, requires the testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually. The Company tests goodwill for impairment in the fourth quarter each year.

Under applicable accounting guidance, the goodwill impairment analysis is a two-step test. The first step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired; however, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step must be performed to measure potential impairment.

The second step involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which the first step indicated possible impairment. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If the goodwill assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess.

(f) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-17, Revenue Recognition - Milestone Method (Topic 605) -Revenue Recognition (ASU 2010-17). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on defining the milestone and determining when the use of the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions is appropriate. It provides criteria for evaluating if the milestone is substantive and clarifies that a vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved, if the milestone meets all the criteria to be considered substantive. ASU 2010-17 is effective for us in fiscal 2011 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. Our company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2010-17 on our consolidated financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(f) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, as an amendment to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”). As a result of ASU 2010-09, SEC registrants will not disclose the date through which management evaluated subsequent events in the financial statements. ASU 2010-09 is effective immediately for all financial statements that have not yet been issued or have not yet become available to be issued, or December 31, 2010 for the Company. The adoption of ASU 2010-09 is for disclosure purposes only and did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 amends ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure (“ASC 820”) to require a number of additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. In addition to the new disclosure requirements, ASU 2010-06 also amends ASC 820 to clarify that reporting entities are required to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2010-06, the guidance in ASC 820 required separate fair value disclosures for each major category of assets and liabilities.

ASU 2010-06 also clarifies the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. Except for the requirement to disclose information about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements on a gross basis, all of the provisions of ASU 2010-06 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, or January 1, 2010 for the Company. The requirement to separately disclose purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 measurements does not become effective until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, or January 1, 2011 for the Company. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 is for disclosure purposes only and did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified within ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 requires entities to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as one with the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest. The guidance is effective as of the beginning of the annual reporting period commencing after November 15, 2009, or January 1, 2010 for the Company, with early adoption prohibited. The adoption of the guidance codified within ASC 810 did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the entity. For purposes of the computation of net income per share, shares issued in connection with acquisitions that are returnable are considered contingently returnable shares under FASB ASC 260, although classified as issued and outstanding, are not included in the basic weighted average number of shares until all necessary conditions are met that no longer cause the shares to be contingently returnable. These contingently returnable shares are included in the diluted weighted average number of shares as of the beginning of the period in which the conditions were satisfied (or as of the date of the agreement, if later).

Components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:                    
    Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended

4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING

Financial Instruments

Management has estimated that the carrying amounts of non-related party financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of the amount due from (to) related parties is not practicable to estimate due to the related party nature of the underlying transactions.

Fair Value Accounting

FASB ASC 820.10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). As required by FASB ASC 820.10, assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820.10 are described below:

   
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
   
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
   
Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

At September 30, 2010, the contingent consideration in relation to the purchase of Topwell Treasure Ltd. ("Topwell") and its wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary, Huipu Electronics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. ("Huipu") in 2009 was measured at fair value.

The fair value estimate of the contingent consideration is based on the weighted probability (level 3 input) of achievement of After Tax Net Income targets (ATNI) in 2010, 2011 and 2012, which could result in the issuance of up to 1,101,930 additional shares of the Company’s common stock. Actual achievement of ATNI below $3.2 million would reduce the liability to zero and achievement of ATNI of $6.8 million or more would increase the liability to $6.8 million. As of September 30, 2010, the fair value of the current portion of this contingent consideration is $1,468,901, compared to $1,857,994 at December 31, 2009. The fair value of none-current portion of the contingent consideration is $2,083,503, compared to $2,635,397 at December 31, 2009. A change in fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration could have a material effect on the statement of operations and financial position in the period of the change in estimate. Included in other income in the three months ended September 30, 2010 is a gain of $241,000 and included in other income in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is a gain of $941,000, due to the change in estimate of the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration.

5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

The Company is the primary beneficiary of iASPEC, pursuant to the Management Service Agreement (“MSA”), and iASPEC qualifies as a variable interest entity of the Company. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses of iASPEC have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

In order to facilitate iASPEC’s expansion and also to provide financing for iASPEC to complete the acquisition of Geo, the Company advanced RMB38 million (approximately $5.4 million) to iASPEC in two installments on November 20, 2007 and May 8, 2008, respectively, to increase iASPEC’s registered capital. In order to comply with PRC laws and regulations, the advance was made to Mr. Lin, iASPEC’s then majority shareholder, who, upon the authority and direction of the Board of Directors, forwarded the funds to iASPEC. The Company has recorded the advance of these funds as an interest-free loan to iASPEC, which was eliminated against additional capital of iASPEC in consolidation. The increase in iASPEC’s registered capital does not affect IST’s exclusive option to purchase iASPEC’s assets and shares under the MSA.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, loss of $139,080 (net income of $263,690 from iASPEC and loss of $402,770 from Geo), and $273,850 (net income of $682,909 from iASPEC and loss of $409,059 from Geo), respectively was attributable to non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of income of the Company.

For the same period of year 2009, loss of $177,476 ($45,000 from iASPEC and loss of $222,476 from Geo) and $115,742 ($135,000 from iASPEC and loss of $19,258 from Geo), respectively was attributable to non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of income of the Company.

At September 30, 2010, the consolidation of iASPEC and Geo, resulted in an increase in assets of approximately $68.2 million, an increase in liabilities (consisting primarily of accounts payable and short-term bank loans) of approximately $29.7 million. The assets of these entities consist mainly of cash at bank, trade and other receivables, inventories and property, plant and equipment. The creditors of these entities do not have recourse to the general credit of the Group. The Group will provide all of the needed financing for the VIEs.

On January 14, 2010, Mr. Lin loaned the Company a total of $5 million from the proceeds of the sale of his shares for use for general corporate purposes and working capital. In consideration of the loan from Mr. Lin, the Company's Board of Directors approved the issuance and delivery of a one-year, non-interest bearing, convertible promissory note (“the Original Note”) to Mr. Lin, in the principal amount of $5 million The note is due and payable on January 14, 2011, and is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $5.88 per share (the per share closing price on the trading day prior to the delivery date of the Original Note).

Valuation allowance   (1,007,255 )   -     (1,736,137 )   -  
                         
Total deferred tax assets and liabilities $  2,085,678   $  (1,863,638 ) $  2,388,057   $  (2,564,604 )

The breakdown between current and long-term deferred tax assets and liabilities was as follows as at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

    September 30, 2010     December 31, 2009  
    (Unaudited)        
             
Current deferred tax assets $  1,530,931   $  1,719,327  
Current deferred tax liabilities   -     -  
Long-term deferred tax assets   554,747     668,730  
Long-term deferred tax liabilities   (1,863,638 )   (2,564,604 )
Total net deferred tax liabilities $  222,040   $  (176,547 )

As at September 30, 2010, Geo and HPC had incurred tax losses of approximately $332,000 and $6,963,000, respectively. The accumulated losses of Geo can be carried forward through approximately 2010.

FASB ASC 740 requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In accordance with proactive communication with local tax bureau, the management determined that $3,004,000 of the accumulative losses of HPC could not be utilized to deduct against future taxable profit as it had been denied by the local tax bureau. The management derecognized the corresponding deferred tax assets and wrote off the corresponding valuation allowance therefore.

The management also expects the rest of $3,959,000 of the accumulated losses of HPC may not be utilized to deduct against future taxable profit due to the fact that proper approval from the local tax bureau has not been obtained, the valuation allowance amounting to approximately $1,007,000 existed as at September 30, 2010.

16. CONCENTRATIONS

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and generally does not require collateral. As a result, management performs ongoing credit evaluations, and the Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based upon its loss history and its aging analysis. The allowance for doubtful accounts ($3,136,000 at September 30, 2010 and $3,123,000 at December 31, 2009) is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable.

Management reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts each reporting period based on a detailed analysis of accounts receivable. In the analysis, management primarily considers the age of the customer's receivable and also considers the creditworthiness of the customer, the economic conditions of the customer's industry, and general economic conditions and trends, among other factors. If any of these factors change, the Company may also change its original estimates, which could impact the level of the Company's future allowance for doubtful accounts. If judgments regarding the collectability of accounts receivables were incorrect, adjustments to the allowance may be required, which would reduce profitability. Since the Company's accounts receivables are often concentrated in a relatively few number of customers, a significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company had no customer accounted for over 10% of the third party revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Company had two customers that represented approximately 30% and 12% of the Company's third party revenue.

As of September 30, 2010, accounts receivables were due from 282 customers. Of these, no customers accounted for over 10% of the total accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2009, accounts receivable were due from 121 customers. Of these, one customer accounted for 29% of total accounts receivable.

Overview of our Business

We are a leading provider of integrated solutions for the Geographic Information Systems, or GIS, the digital security sector, and the digital hospital information sector. We provide a broad portfolio of fully integrated solutions and services, including a First Responder Coordination Platform, Intelligent Recognition System, Residence Card Information Management System, Police-use and Civil-use GIS products, and Digital Hospital Information System, as well as high-end multimedia display systems and technology.

We are headquartered in Shenzhen, China and our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. As of September 30, 2010, we had more than 1,490 employees and 15 sales offices nationwide. We were founded in 1993.

Our customers are mostly public sector entities that use our products and services to improve the service quality and management level and efficiency of public security, traffic control, fire control, medical rescue, border control, and surveying and mapping. Our typical customers include some of the most important governmental departments in China, including the Ministry of Public Security, the public security, fire fighting, traffic and police departments of several provinces, the Shenzhen General Station of Exit and Entry Frontier Inspection, and several provincial personnel, urban planning, civil administration, land resource, and mapping and surveying bureaus. Over the past several years, we have diversified our customer base beyond our local reach. In the future, we expect to continually expand our market and product offerings in the public and other sectors, through geographic expansion and enhancement of our technical capabilities.

We generate revenues through the sale of our integrated hardware and software products and through the provision of related support services. A significant portion of our operations are conducted through iASPEC, our variable interest entity. iASPEC is a PRC domestic company owned by Jiang Huai Lin, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who is a PRC citizen and resident. iASPEC is able to obtain governmental licenses that are restricted to PRC entities that have no foreign ownership. These licenses allow iASPEC to perform Police-use Geographic Information Systems, or PGIS, services for PRC governmental customers. Under our Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement, or MSA, among our subsidiary, IST, iASPEC and Mr. Lin, IST is entitled to receive 95% of the net received profit of iASPEC during the term of the Agreement, less costs and expenses related to sales and operations, and accrued but uncollected accounts receivable. In fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007, 48.6%, 48% and 68% of our revenues, respectively, were generated under this exclusive commercial arrangement with iASPEC. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, $47.86 million, or 46.63% of our revenue, was derived in connection with the MSA.

Product sales increased by $10.20 million, or 417.11% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $2.44 million in the same period of 2009. Product sales constituted 28.86% of total revenue during the current period as compared with 8.52% during the same period in the prior year. Such an increase is due to the contribution from Huipu.

Sales of system integration services decreased by 77.26% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period of 2009. As a percentage of revenue, it declined from 20.67% during the three months ended September 30, 2009 to 3.08% during the current quarter. Excluding the impact of Huipu, system integration was 3.79% of organic revenues.

Other revenue increased by 161.16%, from $0.13 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $0.34 million in the same period of 2010. Other revenue mainly derived from maintenance services in the three months ended September 30, 2009, while in the same period of 2010, in addition to maintenance services, we also generated $0.18 million royalty income from Huipu by licensing other manufacturers to use the HPC trademark.

Regarding segment breakdown, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, approximately $20.65 million of our revenues were generated by our GIS segment, $17.96 million of our revenues were generated by our DPST segment and $5.19 million was generated by the DHIS segment. This compared with $9.84 million by our GIS segment, $15.06 million by our DPST segment and $3.78 million by our DHIS segment for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The DPST segment increased by 19.29% compared with the same period of 2009, while the year-over-year growth ratios for GIS and DHIS segments were 109.92% and 37.14% respectively.

GIS accounted for 47.15% of the total revenue while DPST and DHIS represented 41.01% and 11.84% respectively. These compared to 34.31%, 52.5% and 13.19% of the total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The shifts in segment weights ultimately reflect the growth momentum in GIS and DHIS segments outpacing that of DPST. This is the direct result of our focus in the last few years on targeting areas with the highest barriers-to-entry and developing sustainable competitive advantages in the GIS and DHIS segments, in anticipation of accelerating market growth in the coming years. As such expectation starts to materialize, we believe we have been well positioned to capture the growth opportunities.

As indicated in the table above, our cost of revenue increased $9.16 million, or 67.55%, to $22.72 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $13.56 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. As a percentage of revenue, our cost of revenue increased to 51.87% during the three months ended September 30, 2010, from 47.28% in the same period of 2009. As a result, gross margin was 48.13% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of 4.59%, from 52.72% in the same period of 2009. Huipu yielded a gross margin of 9.68%. Excluding the impact of Huipu, gross margin of organic business was 57.03%.

The change in the gross margin is due to several factors. Firstly, the gross margin of our product sales line decreased to 15.17% from 27.81% of the same period in 2009. This change is partially due to the fact that the 27.81% gross margin during the third quarter in 2009 was much higher than the full-year average gross margin for products of 19.21%. Meanwhile, as part of the restructuring process, we consolidated Huipu’s inventory by expediting the sales of non-strategic products, which improved cash flow from operations but reduced profitability. Secondly, the gross margin of software business declined to 61.61% from 63.50% a year ago primarily due to the outsourcing practice which we started in the first quarter of 2010. Further, products gained as a percentage of revenue while software decreased in such percentage as a result of inventory consolidation, which further contributed to the decline in the blended gross margin. Partially offsetting the above factors is the increased gross margin of system integration business to 53.91%, primarily due to the contribution from a few relatively larger and more profitable contracts.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, approximately $10.92 million of our cost of revenue was attributable to our GIS segment, $9.57 million was attributable to our DPST segment and $2.22 million was attributable to our DHIS segment, compared to $3.43 million to GIS segment, $8.93 million to DPST segment and $1.19 million by DHIS segment, respectively, during the same period of 2009.

Administrative Expenses. Administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our general management, finance and administrative staff, professional advisor fees, audit fees and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Our administrative expenses increased by about $2.99 million, or 121.25%, to $5.45 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $2.46 million in the same period of 2009. Some notable changes that resulted in the increase of administrative expenses are: 1) the addition of stock based compensation expenses of $1.13 million; and 2) the addition of losses on doubtful receivables of $0.54 million; and 3) The addition of provision for long-term investment in Tianhe of $0.67 million. Also contributing to the increase was the expenses incurred in new representative offices.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, as well as costs associated with new software and hardware development and enhancement. Research and development expenses increased by $0.25 million, or 36.39%, to $0.94 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $0.69 million in the same period of 2009. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses accounts for approximately 2.14% of the total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared with 2.40% of total revenue for the same period in 2009. The research and development expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue because the research and development investments made from prior years are yielding scalable effects in revenue growth.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our sales and marketing staff, sales and after-sales traveling cost, and other sales related costs. Our selling expenses increased $0.98 million, or 137.11%, to $1.70 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $0.72 million in the corresponding period of 2009. The selling expenses outpacing revenue growth reflects our heightened efforts in national market expansion including establishing new representative offices.

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $1.75 million, or 15.53%, to $13 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $11.25 million in the corresponding period in 2009. Income from operations as a percentage of revenue decreased to 29.68% during the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared with 39.24% in 2009.

Other income, net. Key component of other income, net of $0.35 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, was a gain of $0.24 million, which resulted from the decrease of fair value of the liability associated with the contingent consideration for HPC acquisition during the period. As our stock price declined during the period, the contingent liability, which is based on our stock price, decreased in fair value. Such a decrease in contingent liability contributed to our other income.

Non-controlling interest. Non-controlling interest of $0.14 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 represents the $0.26 million fee retained by iASPEC under the revised MSA, which represents 5% of the net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010, and $0.4 million of Geo’s losses attributable to the 47.46% non-controlling interest in Geo. The retained profits by iASPEC during the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $45,000, which was a fixed amount according to the original MSA, and the retained losses by Geo’s 43% shareholders was approximately $0.22 million.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $2.36 million, up from $1.80 million for the same period in 2009. Our subsidiaries, ISS and Huipu are all governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and are subject to the PRC’s enterprises income tax, or EIT, at a rate of 22% of assessable profits in 2010, compared to 20% for the same period in 2009, an increase of 2%. Bocom, Zhongtian and our VIE, iASPEC (inclusive of Geo), as High-Tech Enterprises, are subject to EIT at a rate of 15% of assessable profits. After offsetting accumulated losses from prior years, Geo had no assessable profit subject to EIT for the three months ended September 30, 2010. In addition, as a software company, IST was entitled to a two-year exemption from EIT followed by a 50% tax exemption for the next 3 years. Year 2010 is the fourth year that IST is entitled to the tax holiday and will be subject to a favorable tax rate of 11%.

As a percentage of revenue, our cost of revenue increased to 52.25% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from 49.79% in the same period of 2009. As a result, gross margin was 47.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of 2.46%, from 50.21% in the same period of 2009. Huipu yielded a gross margin of 17%. Excluding the impact of Huipu, gross margin of organic business was 54%, exceeding the gross margin a year ago.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, approximately $23.98 million of our cost of revenue was attributable to our GIS segment, $24.47 million was attributable to our DPST segment and $5.17 million was attributable to our DHIS segment, compared to $9.13 million to GIS segment, $22.80 million to DPST segment and $2.65 million by DHIS segment, respectively, during the same period of 2009.

Administrative Expenses. Administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our general management, finance and administrative staff, professional advisor fees, audit fees and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Our administrative expenses increased by about $3.86 million, or 55.23%, to $10.84 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $6.98 million in the same period of 2009. The increase of administrative expenses was in general in line with our business growth. Some notable changes that resulted in the increase of administrative expenses are: 1) the addition of administrative expenses of Huipu of about $0.77 million; 2) the increase of losses of doubtful receivables of $0.35 million period-over-period; 3) the increase of stock based compensation expenses of $0.95 million; and 4) the addition of provision for long term investment in Tianhe of $0.85 million. Also contributing to the increase was the expenses incurred in new representative offices.

38


Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, as well as costs associated with new software product development and enhancement. Research and development expenses increased by $0.16 million, or 8.16%, to $2.07 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $1.91 million in the same period of 2009. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses accounts for approximately 2.01% of the total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared with 2.75% of total revenue for the same period in 2009. The research and development expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue because the research and development investments made from prior years are yielding scalable effects in revenue growth.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits to our sales and marketing staff, sales and after-sales traveling cost, and other sales related costs. Our selling expenses increased $2.45 million, or 125.25%, to $4.40 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $1.95 million in the corresponding period of 2009. The selling expenses outpacing revenue growth reflects our heightened efforts in national market expansion.

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased $7.67 million, or 31.93%, to $31.69 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $24.0 million in the corresponding period in 2009. Income from operations as a percentage of revenue decreased to 30.88% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from 34.59% in 2009.

Other Income, net. Other income, net of $0.99 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to the fair value change for contingent shares paid for HPC acquisition. Approximately $0.94 million gain resulting from the decrease of fair value of the liability associated with issuing the contingent consideration was recorded during the period. As our stock price declined during the period, the contingent liability, which is based on our stock price, decreased in fair value. Such a decrease in contingent liability served to contribute to our other income.

Non-controlling interest. Non-controlling interest of $0.27 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 represents the $0.68 million fee retained by iASPEC under the revised MSA, which represents 5% of the net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and $0.4 million of Geo’s losses attributable to the 47.46% non-controlling interest in Geo. The retained profits by iASPEC during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $135,000, which was a fixed amount according to the original MSA, and the retained profits by Geo’s 43% shareholders was approximately $19,258.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $5.70 million, up from $3.48 million for the same period in 2009.

Net income attributable to the Company. As a result of the factors described above, net income increased $4.96 million, or 23.32%, to $26.24 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, from $21.28 million for the same period in 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $20.4 million for the third quarter, making the total for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 $18.9 million, an increase of $10.54 million or 126.64% from $8.33 million net cash provided by operating activities for the same period of 2009. Such increase was attributable to the improvement in accounts receivable turnover as well as increases in accounts payable and advances from customers.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in our investing activities was $48.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $8.58 million net cash used in investing activities for the same period of 2009. $17 million of the total was used as the deposit for purchasing land use rights. Details have been provided in Footnote 10(a), Item 1, Part I of this report and Footnote 17 (Subsequent Event), Item 1, Part I of the Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010. Amount used to purchase machineries, equipments and software, etc. amounted to approximately $30 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by our financing activities increased to $33.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to $5.11 million during the same period of 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to the net proceeds of $9.38 million raised in issuing of common stock, an increase in net bank borrowings of $17.58 million, and an increase in borrowings from shareholders’ long-term loan of $6.03 million (See discussion in the 10-Q filing for the three months ended March 31, 2010 for details). Geo also received capital injection of $1.73 million from minority shareholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies from those disclosed under Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-17, Revenue Recognition - Milestone Method (Topic 605) - Revenue Recognition (ASU 2010-17). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on defining the milestone and determining when the use of the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions is appropriate. It provides criteria for evaluating if the milestone is substantive and clarifies that a vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved, if the milestone meets all the criteria to be considered substantive. ASU 2010-17 is effective for us in fiscal 2011 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. Our company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2010-17 on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, as an amendment to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”). As a result of ASU 2010-09, SEC registrants will not disclose the date through which management evaluated subsequent events in the financial statements. ASU 2010-09 is effective immediately for all financial statements that have not yet been issued or have not yet become available to be issued, or December 31, 2010 for the Company. The adoption of ASU 2010-09 is for disclosure purposes only and did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 amends ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure (“ASC 820”) to require a number of additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. In addition to the new disclosure requirements, ASU 2010-06 also amends ASC 820 to clarify that reporting entities are required to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2010-06, the guidance in ASC 820 required separate fair value disclosures for each major category of assets and liabilities.

ASU 2010-06 also clarifies the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. Except for the requirement to disclose information about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements on a gross basis, all of the provisions of ASU 2010-06 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, or January 1, 2010 for the Company. The requirement to separately disclose purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of recurring Level 3 measurements does not become effective until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, or January 1, 2011 for the Company. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 is for disclosure purposes only and did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified within ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 requires entities to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as one with the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest. The guidance is effective as of the beginning of the annual reporting period commencing after November 15, 2009, or January 1, 2010 for the Company, with early adoption prohibited. The adoption of the guidance codified within ASC 810 did not have any effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Seasonality of our Sales

The first quarter of the calendar year is typically the slowest season of the year due to the Chinese New Year holiday. During this period, accounts receivable collection is very slow and we also need to prepare for upcoming busier seasons by making payments for inventory.

Inflation

Inflation does not materially affect our business or the results of our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Although our reporting currency is the U.S. dollars, the financial records of our operating subsidiaries are maintained in their local currency, the RMB. Approximately 97.84% of our revenues and 100% of our consolidated costs and expenses, and consolidated assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are denominated in RMB, which is the functional currency of our operating subsidiaries. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our reported revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB. If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollars, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollars financial statements will decline. Assets and liabilities of our operating subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, their equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and their income and expenses items are translated using the average rate for the period. Any resulting exchange differences are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. An average appreciation (depreciation) of the RMB against the U.S. dollars of 5% would increase our comprehensive income by $9.68 million based on our outstanding revenues, costs and expenses, assets, and liabilities denominated in RMB as of September 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, our accumulated other comprehensive income was $8.93 million. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.

41


Interest Rate Risk

The Company deposits surplus funds with Chinese banks earning daily interest. The Company does not invest in any instruments for trading purposes. Most of the Company’s outstanding debt instruments carry fixed rates of interest. The Company’s operations generally are not directly sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. The amount of long-term debt outstanding as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $8.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively. A hypothetical 1.0% increase in the annual interest rates for all of our credit facilities under which we had outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2010, would decrease net income before provision for income taxes by approximately $192,000, or less than 1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Management monitors the banks’ prime rates in conjunction with our cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances relative to other sources of funds. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to interest rate risk.

Inflation Risk

Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.

ITEM 4.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15(e), our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jiang Huai Lin and our Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Jackie You Kazmerzak, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2010. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, Mr. Lin and Ms. Kazmerzak, determined that, as of September 30, 2010, and as of the date of this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these, or other matters, may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
