NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AsiaInfo Holdings, Inc., its subsidiaries, and its variable interest entities (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for completing annual financial statements. However, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to ensure the information presented is not misleading. US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, contingencies and results of operations. While management has based their assumptions and estimates on the facts and circumstances existing as of March 31, 2008, final amounts may differ from these estimates.

In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s audited financial statements on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.

Revenue from software products and solutions includes the benefit of the rebate of valued-added taxes on sales of software and services received from the Chinese tax authorities as part of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) government’s policy of encouraging software development in the PRC. The rebate totaled $1,282 and $1,139 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Revenue in excess of billings is recorded as unbilled receivables and included in accounts receivable. Billings in excess of revenues recognized are recorded as deferred revenue. Billings are rendered based on agreed milestones included in customer contracts. Amounts billed but not yet collected are recorded as unbilled receivables and included in accounts receivable. All billed and unbilled amounts are expected to be collected within one year.

AsiaInfo Holdings, Inc. uses the United States (“U.S.”) dollar as its reporting currency and functional currency. The financial records of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and VIEs are maintained in Renminbi (“RMB”), their functional currency and the currency of the PRC. Their balance sheets are translated into U.S. dollars based on the noon buying rate of exchange quoted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of the balance sheet date. Their statements of operations are translated using a weighted average rate for the period. Translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity.

The RMB is not freely convertible into U.S. dollars or other currencies. All foreign exchange transactions involving RMB must take place through the People’s Bank of China or other institutions authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies. The exchange rates adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the People’s Bank of China.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This standard also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 12, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect SFAS 157 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The standard requires companies to provide additional information that will help investors and other users of financial statements to more easily understand the effect of the company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings. It also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is in the process of assessing the potential impact the adoption of SFAS No. 141R may have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all entities to report non-controlling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way as required in the consolidated financial statements. Moreover, SFAS 160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and non-controlling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is in the process of assessing the potential impact the adoption of SFAS 160 may have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has not yet begun the process of assessing the potential impact the adoption of SFAS 161 may have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

2. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits and highly liquid investments, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Available-for-sale investments are carried at fair value and unrealized holding gains or losses resulting from changes in value associated with such investments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Held-to-maturity securities consist of corporate bonds and are accounted for at amortized cost with effective interest rate method. Trading securities consist of corporate stocks and are reported at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses, if any, reported as part of net income. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, all short-term investments, except corporate stocks, of the Company had maturities of less than one year.

10. GAIN ON SETTLEMENT OF ESCROW

On July 27, 2004, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Lenovo Group Limited and its affiliates (collectively, “Lenovo”) to acquire Lenovo’s non-telecommunications Information Technology (“IT”) service business. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, AsiaInfo acquired the assets comprising Lenovo’s non-telecommunications related IT services business on October 1, 2004. The acquisition included the business now known as the Company’s Lenovo-AsiaInfo reportable segment.

An escrow agreement dated October 19, 2004 (the “Escrow Agreement”) was entered into among the Company, Lenovo and JPMorgan Chase Bank (the “Escrow Agent”) in order to satisfy Lenovo’s indemnification obligations (if any) under the Acquisition Agreement. On July 1, 2005, the Company instructed its transfer agent to deliver two certificates collectively representing 2,162,562 shares (one representing 1,081,281 shares (the “General Escrow”), and the other representing 1,081,281 shares) to the Escrow Agent.

On March 24, 2006, the Company delivered an indemnity notice to Lenovo seeking indemnification under the Acquisition Agreement. On January 24, 2007, the Company entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Lenovo to resolve certain matters arising out of the Acquisition Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Under the Agreement, 648,769 General Escrow shares were returned to the Company’s treasury account on February 9, 2007 and the remaining 432,512 General Escrow shares were released to Lenovo. The Agreement also provides for the mutual release of certain claims that the Company or Lenovo may have had against each other relating to the acquisition as of December 31, 2007.

On March 26, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the retirement of the 648,769 shares of treasury stock. The retired shares resumed the status of authorized and unissued shares of the Company and are presented as a reduction of outstanding shares in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss).

The returned escrow shares were accounted at the historical value of $3,632 as determined at the date shares were issued to the Escrow Agent. Part of this amount off-sets the released claims of $898 against Lenovo, and the remaining $2,734 gain on settlement of escrow was recorded as gain on settlement of escrow.

11. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In January 2007, the Company sold certain assets and liabilities constituting its financial services IT solutions business (FIS), which is grouped under the Company’s Lenovo-AsiaInfo reportable segment, to Fidelity Information Systems (“Fidelity”), a major U.S.-based provider of IT services and information products to financial institutions, for a maximum cash consideration valued at $3,581 (RMB25,430), which was structured as follows: (1) $1,653 (RMB11,740) was received from Fidelity upon closing; (2) $413 (RMB2,934) escrow amount was transferred to an escrow agent by Fidelity upon closing; (3) $1,515 (RMB 10,756) was to be paid subject to adjustment based upon an earn-out calculation and certain contingencies.

On March 18, 2008, the Company received the $1,515 contingent payment from Fidelity and recognized the amount as gain on sale of discontinued operations. Certain cost which was related to the contingent payment amounting to $209 (RMB1,483) was accrued accordingly.

The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect FIS as discontinued operations. Results of the FIS discontinued operations are summarized as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2008			2007
Revenue from discontinued operations	$	—		$	—

(Loss) from operations of discontinued operations		—			(91	)
Gain on sales of discontinued operations		1,306			1,536
Provision for income taxes		(326	)		—

Gain on discontinued operations	$	980		$	1,445

12. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Accounts payable included bank acceptance drafts payable of $6,717 and $3,627 and commercial acceptances payable of $143 and $550 as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. These bank acceptance drafts and commercial acceptances were non-interest bearing and were due within six months of issuance.

13. INCOME TAXES

The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes and the Company’s subsidiaries and VIEs incorporated in the PRC are subject to PRC income taxes.

Reconciliation between the provision for income taxes computed by applying the U.S. federal tax rate to income before income taxes and the actual provision for income taxes is as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2008		2007
U.S. federal rate	35	%	35	%
Difference between statutory rate and foreign effective tax rate	(31	)	(35	)
Change in valuation allowance	—		(4	)
Subpart F income inclusion	3		8
Stock-based compensation	2		6
Nontaxable income on settlement of escrow	—		(9	)
Qualified Electing Fund income	6		—

	15	%	1	%

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded a one-time tax benefit of $557 due to a retroactive change of enacted tax rate from 15% to 10% for AsiaInfo Technologies (China), Inc. (“AIBJ”) for tax year 2007. The reduction in tax rate for AIBJ is a result of AIBJ qualifying as a “Key Software Enterprise” for fiscal year 2007, and therefore enjoying a 10% tax rate for income earned during 2007 according to government regulations.

The Company’s uncertain tax positions are related to inter-company transactions for which it might have under/over charged the related parties for services. The Company is also exposed to certain jurisdictions for carrying on a trade or business in which it has not been so authorized. Aggregate undistributed earnings of the Company’s subsidiaries, VIEs and its VIEs’ located in the PRC that are available for distribution to the Company of approximately $33,122 at March 31, 2008 are considered to be indefinitely reinvested under APB opinion No. 23, and accordingly, no provision has been made for the Chinese dividend withholding taxes that would be payable upon the distribution of those amounts to the Company. The Chinese tax authorities have also clarified that distributions made out of pre-January 1, 2008 retained earnings will not be subject to the withholding tax. The Company has not quantified the deferred income tax liability that would arise if earnings in the first quarter were to be distributed or were determined to be no longer permanently reinvested.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions. There are no ongoing examinations by taxing authorities at this time. The Company’s various tax years starting from 2000 to 2006 are remaining open in various taxing jurisdictions.

14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

2002 Stock Option Plan and the prior plans

Under the Company’s 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Plan”), the Company was authorized to grant options for the purchase of up to 4,500,000 shares of common stock to employees, directors and consultants at prices not less than the fair market value on the date of grant for incentive stock options and nonqualified options. Shares as to which an option is granted under the 2002 Plan but remains unexercised at the expiration, forfeiture or other termination of such option may be the subject of the grant of further options. Prior to adopting the 2002 Stock Option Plan, the Company adopted annual stock option plans for each of 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000 (such plans, together with the 2002 Stock Option Plan, are referred to hereinafter as the “Option Plans”).

The vesting periods of the options under the Option Plans are determined based on individual stock option agreements. Options granted prior to 1998 generally vest and become exercisable over three years at an equal annual rate. Exercise terms of options granted in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2002 are substantially similar to those of options granted prior to 1998 except that the vesting and exercise periods are generally over four one-year cliffs at an annual rate of 20%, 20%, 30% and 30% for the 1999 plan, generally over four years at an annual rate of 25% for the 2000 plan, and are generally no more than four years at an annual rate of 25% from the date of grant for the 2002 Plan.

Activities for the Option Plans are summarized as follows:


	Number of shares		Weighted average exercise price per share		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding, January 1, 2008	3,968,020		$	8.83
Granted	—
Cancelled or expired	(3,546	)		5.00
Exercised	(131,298	)		6.22

Outstanding, March 31, 2008	3,833,176			8.92	$	13,686,374

Vested and expected to vest, March 31, 2008	3,833,176			8.92		13,686,374
Exercisable, March 31, 2008	3,830,676			8.92		13,669,499

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the closing stock price of $10.86 of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day on March 31, 2008.

Total intrinsic value of options exercised for each of the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $660 and $2,640, respectively.

As of March 31, 2008, there was $8 unrecognized share-based compensation cost relating to share options. This deferred cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 0.42 years. To the extent the actual forfeiture rate is different from the original estimate, actual share-based compensation related to these awards may be different from the expectation.

2005 Stock Incentive Plan- restricted share units (RSUs)

Under the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), the Company may grant participants restricted stock awards, stock options, or other types of equity incentives. The number of shares authorized for issuance is (a) 600,000 shares plus (b) any authorized shares of Common Stock that, as of April 21, 2005, were available for issuance under the Company’s 2002 Plan, or that thereafter become available for issuance under the 2002 Plan in accordance with its terms.

A restricted stock unit (RSU) is an agreement to issue stock at the time when the award vests. These units vest on an annual basis equally over four years, 25% on each anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of each RSU is measured on the grant date based on the market price of the stock on the grant date. RSUs as of March 31, 2008 and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2008 were as follows:


	Number of shares		Weighted average grant date fair value
Restricted stock units unvested at January 1, 2008	257,074		$	4.29
Granted	—			—
Vested	—			—
Forfeited	(4,950	)		4.05

Restricted stock units unvested at March 31, 2008	252,124		$	4.29

Total intrinsic value of RSU exercised for each of the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $nil and $nil, respectively.

As of March 31, 2008, there was $786 unrecognized share-based compensation cost related to RSUs. That deferred cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 1.2 years. To the extent the actual forfeiture rate is different from original estimate; actual share-based compensation related to these awards may be different from the expectation.

2005 Stock Incentive Plan- performance-based restricted share units (PSUs)

In November 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved another stock unit awards program under the 2005 Plan. Under this program, the Company was approved to grant no more than 2,213,068 shares of performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs) and 1,995,000 PSUs were granted in November 2006. Unlike the previous RSUs, these awards will vest based on certain performance-based criteria, including annual earnings before interest and tax, annual net revenue growth, average stock closing price and new business revenue percentage, provided the award holder continues to be an employee of the Company at the time the performance goals are met. Each PSU represents the contingent right of the participant to receive a payment in respect of a share of common stock.

Performance based PSUs as of March 31, 2008 and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2008 were as follows:


	Number of shares		Weighted average grant date fair value
Performance-based restricted stock units unvested at January 1, 2008	1,099,340		$	5.05
Granted	—			—
Vested	—			—
Forfeited	(20,900	)		4.99

Performance-based restricted stock units unvested at March 31, 2008	1,078,440		$	5.06

Market based PSUs as of March 31, 2008 and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2008 were as follows:


	Number of shares		Weighted average grant date fair value
Market-based restricted stock units unvested at January 1, 2008	549,930		$	2.42
Granted	—			—
Vested	(146,180	)		3.03
Forfeited	(10,450	)		2.42

Market-based restricted stock units unvested at March 31, 2008	393,300		$	2.19

Total intrinsic value of PSUs exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $1,588 and nil respectively.

As of March 31, 2008, there was $1,721 unrecognized share-based compensation cost related to PSUs. This deferred cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 0.6 years. To the extent the actual forfeiture rate is different from original estimate, actual share-based compensation related to these awards may be different from the expectation.

Accounting for share-based compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R), using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated the results from prior periods. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense recognized beginning January 1, 2006 includes: (a) compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 based on the fair market value as of the grant date, measured in accordance with SFAS 123, and (b) compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R).

Fair values of RSUs and PSUs with performance conditions generally equal their intrinsic value on the date of grant. Fair values of PSUs with market conditions are calculated by an independent third-party appraiser who has adopted a Monte-Carlo simulation model using assumptions underlying the Black-Scholes methodology.

The Company recognizes the compensation costs net of a forfeiture rate and recognizes the compensation costs for those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period. 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 and will also impact the amount of stock compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.

The amount of stock-based compensation attributable to cost of revenues, sales and marketing, general and administrative expenses, and research and development is included in those line items on the face of the statement of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, stock-based compensation expense related to the stock options, RSUs and PSUs under SFAS 123(R) was allocated as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2008		2007
Cost of revenues	$	154	$	192
Sales and marketing		242		330
General and administrative		172		253
Research and development		122		164

Total stock-based compensation expense	$	690	$	939

15. NET INCOME PER SHARE

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share computations:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had 696,715 and 2,193,024 common stock options outstanding, respectively, that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), as their exercise prices exceeded the average market values in those periods. These options could potentially have a dilutive effect on EPS in the future.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Since the acquisition of the non-telecommunications IT services business of Lenovo in October 2004, the Company has been organized as two business units, AsiaInfo Technologies, encompassing the Company’s traditional telecommunications business, and Lenovo-AsiaInfo, providing IT services, including security products and services, IT consulting, software customization, and business process outsourcing services, to the enterprise market in China. After disposing of certain non-core business lines during 2005 and 2006, Lenovo-AsiaInfo now focuses on IT security solutions for the small and medium-sized enterprise market in China. Each business unit is further organized into three operating segments by product type: (1) software products and solutions, (2) service, and (3) third party hardware. The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company’s chief operating decision making group is the Company’s Business Committee, comprising the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and its senior management team, who allocate resources and evaluate performance of segments based on the following table of condensed statement of operations and total assets. Accordingly, other items such as inter-segment sales, interest income (expense), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization are not disclosed by segment, since such information is not used by the Company’s chief operating decision making group to assess the operating performance of individual segments.

The following is a condensed statement of operations and total assets for the Company’s reportable segments:

Litigation - On December 4, 2001, a securities class action case was filed in New York City against the Company, certain of its officers and directors and the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”). The lawsuit alleged violations of the U.S. federal securities laws and was docketed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as Hassan v. AsiaInfo Holdings, Inc., et al. The lawsuit alleged, among other things, that the underwriters of the Company’s IPO improperly required their customers to pay the underwriters excessive commissions and to agree to buy additional shares of the Company’s common stock in the aftermarket as conditions of their purchasing shares in the Company’s IPO. The lawsuit further claimed that the alleged practices of the underwriters should have been disclosed in the Company’s IPO prospectus and registration statement. The suit seeks rescission of the plaintiffs’ alleged purchases of the Company’s common stock as well as unspecified damages. In addition to the case against the Company, various other plaintiffs had filed approximately 1,000 other, substantially similar class action cases against approximately 300 other publicly traded companies and their IPO underwriters in New York City, which along with the case against the Company, have all been transferred to a single federal district judge for purposes of case management.

In June 2003, based on a decision made by a special independent committee of its Board of Directors (“Board”), the Company elected to participate in a proposed settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in this litigation. The proposed settlement contemplated that any amounts necessary to fund the settlement or settlement-related expenses would come from participating issuers’ directors and officers’ liability insurance policy proceeds as opposed to funds of the participating issuer defendants themselves. The proposed settlement also contemplated that the Company would assign any claims it may have against the underwriters of its IPO for excess commissions to the plaintiffs.

On October 13, 2004, the District Court certified six representative cases (out of hundreds of IPO cases that have been filed) as class actions. These cases were designated “focus cases” and the Court’s rulings in those cases going forward were intended to be templates for the remaining hundreds of cases. After objection from the underwriter defendants to the appropriateness of treating these cases as class actions, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals heard the underwriter defendants’ appeal of the District Court’s class certification decision and on April 6, 2007 ruled that none of the six focus cases could be certified as a class action.

Based on the rulings from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals regarding class certification, the District Court entered an order formally removing the proposed settlement from the Court’s docket. The plaintiffs asked the Court to certify new proposed classes of IPO investors and the Court set dates by when the parties must file briefs addressing the viability of the plaintiffs’ new proposed classes, with the plaintiffs’ opening briefs due on September 27, 2007, the defendants’ opposition briefs due on December 21, 2007, and plaintiffs’ briefs responding to the defendants’ arguments due on February 15, 2008. If the litigation proceeds, the Company intends to continue to defend the litigation vigorously. Moreover, if the litigation proceeds, it believes that the underwriters may have an obligation to indemnify the Company for the legal fees and other costs of defending this suit and that the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies would also cover the defense and potential exposure in the suit.

In addition to the above case, the Company received a letter dated July 30, 2007 from a putative stockholder demanding that the Company investigate and prosecute a claim for alleged short-swing trading in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) by the underwriters of the Company’s IPO in March 2000 and certain of the Company’s unidentified directors, officers and stockholders. On October 9, 2007, the putative stockholder commenced a civil lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank, two of the Company’s lead underwriters during the IPO, alleging violations of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. The complaint alleges that the combined number of shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by the lead underwriters and certain unnamed officers, directors, and principal stockholders exceeded ten percent of the Company’s outstanding common stock from the date of the IPO on March 3, 2000 through no earlier than March 2, 2001. It further alleges that those entities and individuals were subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) and the short-swing trading prohibition of Section 16(b), and failed to comply with those provisions. The complaint seeks to recover from the lead underwriters any “short-swing profits” obtained by them in violation of Section 16(b). None of the Company’s directors, officers or stockholders was named as defendants in this action, although the Company was named as a nominal defendant. The Company has waived service and is in the process of considering what, if any, action to take in response to this litigation.

While the Company cannot guarantee the outcome of these proceedings, it believes that the final result of these actions will not have material effects on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

19. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

From the commencement of the Company’s first stock repurchase program, which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in the fourth quarter of 2004, through December 31, 2005, the Company had repurchased a total of 5,274,231 shares at a total cost of $27,282 under this program.

On January 11, 2006, the Company announced the authorization of another stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company was entitled, from time to time during a ninety-day period (expired on April 11, 2006), to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of its common stock. As of April 11, 2006, the Company had repurchased 2,095,208 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $9,563. On April 25, 2006, the Company’s Board authorized an extension to this share repurchase program for an additional 90 days, from April 25, 2006 to July 24, 2006, but did not change the aggregate number of shares subject to repurchase under the plan. As of July 18, 2006, the Company had repurchased 1,904,792 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $8,223 pursuant to the extension of this repurchase program. The stock repurchase plan, as extended, was completed on July 18, 2006.

All common stock repurchased by the Company under the 2005 and 2006 repurchase programs were reported as the Company’s treasury stock. Of the total shares repurchased, 4,498,130 shares were transferred to Lenovo in 2005 as part of the consideration for acquiring Lenovo-AsiaInfo. On June 27, 2006 and September 29, 2006, the Company’s Board authorized the retirement of 3,799,109 shares and 976,992 shares of treasury stock, respectively. The retired shares resumed the status of authorized and unissued shares of the Company. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had 43,076,034 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, after taking into account the retirement of 4,776,101 shares of treasury stock. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had no remaining treasury stock.

On September 11, 2007, the Company announced the authorization of another stock repurchase program under which the Company was entitled to repurchase up to 3,000,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. Pursuant to this program, the Company may, from time to time for a period of four months, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors, make one or more purchases, on the open market, or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to availability, of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had repurchased 244,300 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $1,953 pursuant to this repurchase program. On February 27, 2008, the Company’s Board authorized an extension to this share repurchase program, which will now expire on July 10, 2008. Under the extended program, the Company may repurchase a total of 2,755,700 shares of its outstanding common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company repurchased an additional 166,400 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $1,664 pursuant to the extension of this repurchase program. Any common stock repurchased by the Company will become part of its treasury stock and may be retired or used by the Company to finance or execute acquisitions or other arrangements.

In this report, “AsiaInfo,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to AsiaInfo Holdings Inc., its subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities.

Overview

We are a leading provider of high-quality telecommunications software solutions and information technology (“IT”) security products and services in China. As an established leader in the Chinese telecommunications industry, we became a leading provider of IT security products and services in China with the acquisition of the non-telecommunications related IT services business of Lenovo Group Limited and its affiliates (collectively, “Lenovo”) in 2004. In the telecommunications market, our software products and services enable our customers to build, maintain, operate, manage and continuously improve their communications infrastructure and services. Our largest customers are the major telecommunications carriers in China and their provincial subsidiaries, such as China Mobile Communications Corporation (“China Mobile”), China United Telecommunications Corporation (“China Unicom”), China Network Communications Group Corporation (“China Netcom”), and China Telecommunications Corporation (“China Telecom”). In addition to providing customized software solutions to China’s telecommunications carriers, we also offer sophisticated IT security products and services to many small and medium-sized companies in China.

We commenced our operations in the U.S. in 1993 and moved our major operations from the U.S. to China in 1995. We began generating significant network solutions revenues in 1996 and significant software revenues in 1998. We conduct the bulk of our business through our operating subsidiaries, most of which are Chinese companies.

We have derived, and believe that we will continue to derive, a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of large telecommunications customers, such as China Mobile, China Unicom, China Netcom and China Telecom. Sales to China Mobile and its subsidiaries amounted to approximately 58%, 61% and 51% of our total revenues in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Sales to China Unicom and its subsidiaries amounted to approximately 12%, 14% and 20% of our total revenues in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Sales to China Netcom and its subsidiaries amounted to approximately 10%, 12% and 12%of our total revenues in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Sales to China Telecom and its subsidiaries amounted to approximately 5%, 5% and 3% of our total revenues in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The sum of our top five receivable balances represented 89% and 95% of our total receivable balances as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

As a result of our reliance on key customers in the telecommunications industry, our operating results are influenced by governmental spending policies in that sector. Historically, a number of state-mandated restructurings in China’s telecommunications sector have led to cancellation or delays in telecommunications-related capital expenditure, and have negatively impacted our operating results in certain periods. Ongoing uncertainty in the telecommunications industry, combined with the Chinese government’s measures to control over-heating of the Chinese economy, has contributed and may continue to contribute to cautious spending by our telecommunications customers. In addition, any future restructurings affecting our major telecommunications customers may result in delays or cancellation of telecommunications-related spending, which would likely have an adverse impact on our business.

Since our acquisition of the non-telecommunications related IT services business of Lenovo in October 2004, we have been organized as two business divisions, AsiaInfo Technologies (China) Inc., or AsiaInfo Technologies, encompassing our traditional telecommunications business, and Lenovo-AsiaInfo Technologies, Inc. or Lenovo-AsiaInfo, providing IT security products and services to China’s enterprise market. For financial reporting purposes, each of the two business divisions is further organized into three operating segments by product types:

•

software products and solutions;

•

services; and

•

third-party hardware.

Revenues

We report our revenues on the basis of the three principal types of revenues derived from our business: software products and solutions revenue, service revenue and third party hardware revenue. Please refer to Note 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for detailed financial information regarding segment reporting.

Software products and solutions revenue. We typically sell our software as part of a total solutions package for our customers, which includes proprietary software licenses, professional services related to the design and implementation of the solutions (such as consulting, training, technical support and maintenance) and, in cases where the customer requests a turn-key solution, related hardware. Software products and solutions revenue includes two types of revenues: software license revenue and software services revenue. Software license revenue consists of fees received from customers for licenses or sublicenses to use our software products or third party software products in perpetuity, typically up to a specified maximum number of users. In most cases where a customer is required to purchase additional licenses from us because the number of users exceeds the number of licensed users, we enter into an extension agreement with the customer to expand and upgrade the customer’s system. These extension contracts will usually include a license for the additional users, updated versions of our software and, if required, additional services and hardware for the customer’s network. Our software license revenue also includes the benefit of value-added tax rebates on software license sales, which reflect the Chinese government’s policy of encouraging China’s software industry. Software services revenue consists of revenue from software installation, customization, training and other services. We also record reductions from revenue for our estimates of expected software sales returns from distributors based on current sales and historical sales returns.

Service revenue. Service revenue consists of revenue from professional services, including IT services, management consulting, and revenues for network planning, design, systems integration and training services.

Third-party hardware revenue. Third party hardware revenue consists of hardware sales for equipment procured by us on behalf of our customers from hardware vendors. We procure for, and sell hardware to, our customers as part of our total solutions strategy. We typically minimize our exposure to hardware inventory risks by sourcing equipment from hardware vendors against letters of credit from our customers. As the telecommunications-related IT services market in China develops, our customers are increasingly purchasing hardware directly from hardware vendors and retaining us for our software and professional services.

Net revenue (Non-GAAP). Although we report our revenue on a gross basis, inclusive of hardware acquisition costs, we manage our business internally based on revenues net of hardware costs, or net revenues (Non-GAAP), which is consistent with our strategy of providing our customers with high value IT professional services and, where efficient, outsourcing lower-end services such as hardware acquisition and installation. This strategy may result in lower growth rates for total revenue as against prior periods, but will not adversely impact revenue net of hardware costs. The following table shows our revenue breakdown on this basis and reconciles our net revenues (Non-GAAP) to total revenues:


	Reconciliation of Net Revenues (Non-GAAP) to total revenues
	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2008						2007
	AsiaInfo Technologies		Lenovo- AsiaInfo		Total		AsiaInfo Technologies		Lenovo- AsiaInfo		Total
Revenues net of hardware costs:
Software products and solutions revenue	$	24,452	$	2,687	$	27,139	$	17,513	$	2,087	$	19,600
Service revenue		3,304		37		3,341		3,465		104		3,569
Third party hardware revenue net of hardware costs		216		14		230		344		—		344

Total revenues net of hardware costs		27,972		2,738		30,710		21,322		2,191		23,513
Total hardware costs		4,107		189		4,296		6,540		2		6,542

Total revenues	$	32,079	$	2,927	$	35,006	$	27,862	$	2,193	$	30,055

We believe total revenues net of hardware costs in each of the segments of our business more accurately reflect our core business, which is the provision of software solutions and services, and provides transparency to our investors. We believe this measure provides transparency to our investors because it is the measure used by our management to evaluate the competitiveness and performance of our business in each of the segments. In addition, third-party hardware revenue tends to fluctuate from period to period depending on the requirements of our customers. As a result, a presentation that excludes hardware costs allows investors to better evaluate the performance of our core business. We have provided a reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable financial measure under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), total revenues.

We have evaluated the criteria outlined in Emerging Issue Task Force (“EITF”) No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as Principal Versus Net as an Agent,” in determining whether it is appropriate under US GAAP to record the gross amount of revenues and related costs or the net amount earned after deducting hardware costs paid to the supplier. We record the gross amounts billed to our customers because we are the primary obligor in these transactions, bear the inventory risk, have latitude in establishing prices, are involved in the determination of the product specifications, bear credit risk and have the right to select suppliers.

Cost of Revenues

Software products and solutions costs. Software products and solutions costs consist primarily of three components:

•

packaging and written manual expenses for our proprietary software products and solutions;

•

compensation and travel expenses for the professionals involved in modifying, customizing or installing our software products and solutions and in providing consultation, training and support services; and

•

software license fees paid to third-party software providers for the right to sublicense their products to our customers as part of our solutions offerings as well as the amortization expenses of acquired intangible assets.

The costs associated with designing and modifying our proprietary software are classified as research and development expenses as incurred.

Service costs. Service costs consist primarily of compensation and travel expenses for the professionals involved in designing and implementing IT services, management consulting and network solutions projects. Service costs also include hardware warranty costs. We accrue hardware warranty costs upon final acceptance. We typically obtain manufacturers’ warranties for hardware we sell, which cover a portion of the warranties that we give to our customers. Our estimates of warranty cost are based on our current experience with contracts for which the warranty period has expired.

Third-party hardware costs. We recognize hardware costs in full upon delivery of the hardware to our customers. In order to minimize our working capital requirements, we generally obtain from our hardware vendors payment terms that are timed to permit us to receive payment from our customers for the hardware before our payments to hardware vendors are due. However, in large projects we sometimes obtain less favorable payment terms from our customers, thereby increasing our working capital requirements.

Amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of properties and equipments, and rental expenses are also included in cost of revenue.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses are comprised of sales and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. Compensation expenses consistently comprise a significant portion of our total operating expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses include compensation expenses for employees in our sales and marketing departments, third party advertising expenses, sales commissions and sales consulting fees, as well as the depreciation and amortization expenses allocated to our sales and marketing departments.

Research and development expenses relate to the development of new software and the modification of existing software. We expense such costs as they are incurred.

Taxes

Except for certain hardware procurement and resale transactions, we conduct substantially all of our business through our Chinese subsidiaries and VIEs. Prior to the new Chinese Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008, foreign-invested enterprises (“FIEs”) were generally subject to a 30% state enterprise income tax plus a 3% local income tax. However, most of our operating subsidiaries in China, as FIEs, were entitled to tax holidays or certain preferential tax treatments, which thus reduced their effective rate of income tax to 15% or lower in some cases. Since the EIT law became effective, all resident enterprises are subject to a flat 25% income tax rate, unless otherwise they are eligible for certain preferential tax treatments under the new rules.

Under the EIT law effective from January 1, 2008, the rules for determining whether an entity is a resident in the PRC for tax purposes have changed and the determination of residence depends amongst other things on the “place of actual management”. If we, or our non-PRC subsidiaries, were to be determined to be PRC resident for tax purposes, we would be subject to tax in the PRC on our worldwide income, including the income arising in jurisdictions outside the PRC. We are still evaluating our resident status under the new law and related guidance.

If we were to be non-resident for PRC tax purposes, dividends paid to us out of profits earned after January 1, 2008 would be subject to a withholding tax. In the case of dividends paid by our PRC subsidiaries, the withholding tax would be 10% and in the case of dividends paid by our subsidiary 25% or more directly owned by a resident of Hong Kong, the withholding tax would be 5%.

Pursuant to the implementation rules to the EIT law issued in December 2007 and several subsequent transition rules, certain of our subsidiaries and VIEs in China may continue to enjoy preferential tax rates, if they are qualified as High and New Technology Enterprises. However, the Chinese tax authorities have not yet announced detailed regulations on the applicable requirements and procedures to apply for preferential tax treatment as a High and New Technology Enterprise such as those that have been enjoyed by certain of our PRC subsidiaries and VIEs through 2007. As a result, until confirmation is received from the Chinese tax authorities that such preferential tax treatments will be allowed to continue for the relevant terms, some of our Chinese subsidiaries will become

subject to a normal 25% rate, with a few exceptions where certain of our PRC subsidiaries are still eligible for lower rates under the transition rules. The unified tax laws should not affect any preferential tax treatment granted to FIEs in previous years. Please refer to Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for details of the preferential tax treatment for these subsidiaries.

Sales of hardware procured in China are subject to a 17% value-added tax. Most of our sales of hardware procured outside of China are made through our US parent company, AsiaInfo Holdings, Inc., and thus are not subject to the value-added tax. We effectively pass value-added tax on hardware sales through to our customers and do not include them in revenues reported in our financial statements. Companies that develop their own software and register the software with the relevant authorities in China are generally entitled to a value-added tax refund. If the net amount of the value added tax payable exceeds 3% of software sales and software-related services, the excess portion of the value-added tax is refundable immediately. This policy is effective until 2010. The benefit of the rebate of value-added tax is included in our software revenue.

Our PRC subsidiaries and VIEs are subject to business tax at the rate of 3% and 5%, respectively, on certain types of service revenues and the revenues are presented net of business tax incurred.

We are also subject to U.S. income taxes on revenues generated in the U.S., including revenues from our limited hardware procurement activities through our U.S. parent company, AsiaInfo Holdings, Inc., and interest income earned in the U.S.

Foreign Exchange

A majority of our revenues and expenses relating to the hardware, software and service components of our business are denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”). The value of our shares will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB because the value of our business is effectively denominated in RMB, while our shares are traded in U.S. dollars. Furthermore, an increase in the value of the RMB may require us to exchange more U.S. dollars into RMB in order to meet the working capital requirements of our subsidiaries in China. Depreciation of the value of the U.S. dollar will also reduce the value of the cash we hold in U.S. dollars, which we may use for purposes of future acquisitions or other business expansion. We actively monitor our exposure to these risks and adjust our cash position in the RMB and the U.S. dollar when we believe such adjustments will reduce our foreign exchange risks. For example, in February 2004 we exchanged approximately $28 million cash from U.S. dollars to RMB in order to address concerns regarding a possible increase in the relative value of the RMB. We did not engage in any significant foreign exchange transactions in the three-month period ended March 31, 2008.

Pursuant to the rate of exchange quoted by Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of March 31, 2008 the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the RMB was US$1.00 = RMB7.012.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenues and cost of revenues under customer contracts, warranty obligations, bad debts, inventories, short-term investments, long-term investments, long-lived assets, income taxes, goodwill and other intangible assets, stock options, and litigation. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition. Our revenue is derived from three primary sources: (i) software license and related services, including assistance in implementation, customization and integration, post-contract customer support (“PCS”), training and consulting; (ii) professional services for systems design, planning, consulting, and system integration, and (iii) the procurement of hardware on behalf of our customers.

Revenues from customer orders requiring significant production, modifications, or customization of the software are recognized over the installation and customization period based on the percentage of completion method as prescribed by Statement of Position No. 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Product-Type Contracts” (“SOP 81-1”). Software arrangements with significant production, modifications, or customization are sold with bundled PCS services. Because PCS services have never been sold separately in these arrangements, they do not have stand-alone fair value or vendor specific objective evidence of fair value. The percentage of completion method of revenue recognition is therefore applied to the period from the start of the significant production, modifications, or customization through the last element delivered, which is typically the end of the bundled PCS service period. Revisions in estimated contract costs are made in the period in which the circumstances requiring the revision become known. Provisions, if any, are made currently for anticipated losses on uncompleted contracts.

For software contracts that do not involve significant implementation or customization, license fees are recorded when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable, collection is probable, and the related products or services are delivered as prescribed by SOP No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition. (“SOP 97-2”)”.

Our Lenovo-AsiaInfo IT security products are accounted for under SOP 97-2 because the related software is considered to be more than incidental and is essential to the functionality of the related equipment. The Lenovo-AsiaInfo IT security products are sold bundled with PCS services over a term of one, two or three years. Before January 1, 2008, we recognized total arrangement fees for the IT security products as revenue upon delivery assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met regardless of whether the PCS terms were one two or three years because (a) PCS primarily includes telephone and online support, (b) PCS services are

substantially provided within the first year of the arrangement term, (c) the costs of providing PCS services have historically been insignificant and are expected to be insignificant in the future, and (d) PCS does not include upgrades or enhancements. PCS services provided beyond the first year of the service term have historically been negligible. We accrue the estimated costs of providing PCS services upon delivery of the Lenovo-AsiaInfo IT security software products.

Consulting and other professional services revenues are recognized when the services are performed. Sales of third party hardware, if not bundled with other arrangements, are recognized when delivered if all other revenue recognition criteria are met. Costs associated with revenues are recognized when incurred.

Revenue recognized in excess of billings is recorded as unbilled receivables and is included in trade accounts receivable. Amounts billed but not yet collected are recorded as billed receivables and are included in trade accounts receivable. All billed and unbilled amounts are expected to be collected within one year. Billings for installation and customization services are rendered based on agreed upon milestones specified in customer contracts. Billings in excess of revenues recognized are recorded as deferred revenue.

Income taxes. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be charged to income in the period such change occurred.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adopting FIN 48 was $685,000. Interest and penalties on income taxes will be classified as a component of the provisions for income taxes.

Goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. We use a two-step impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and recognize a goodwill impairment loss in the statement of operations when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. We perform all goodwill impairment tests for each reporting unit in the fourth quarter of each year. The latest goodwill impairment tests were performed in the fourth quarter of 2007 and no impairment losses were recognized.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Revenues. Gross revenues were $ 35.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, 16% higher than the year ago period and a 14% decrease sequentially. The year-over-year increase in gross revenues was largely the result of increases in software products and solutions revenues described below. The sequential decrease was mainly due to the seasonality of our business, which has historically recorded lower revenue early in the year.

Software products and solutions revenue was $27.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, representing an increases of 38% over the comparable period in 2007 and an 11% sequential decrease. The year-over-year increase in software products and solutions revenue was due to the continuous growth in both our telecommunications software business and our IT security business. During the first quarter, we deployed software solutions for telecommunications customers in areas including billing, customer relationship management, business intelligence, and service application solutions. First quarter telecom software products and solutions revenue rose 40% year-over-year and 3% sequentially as telecom customers upgraded and expanded their business and operation support systems and invested in more sophisticated technologies. First quarter software products and solutions revenue from our IT security business accounted for $2.7 million, representing a 29% year-over-year increase and a 60% sequential decrease. The high sequential decrease was mainly due to seasonality.

Service revenue was $3.3 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, representing a decrease of 6% against the comparable period in 2007. The slight decrease in service revenue was primarily due to lower system integration service revenue in the first quarter of 2008.

Third-party hardware revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was $4.5 million, a 34% decrease over the comparable period in 2007 and a 25% decrease sequentially. Third-party hardware revenue has been generally decreasing in the past several years as we have increasingly focused on our higher-margin software product and solutions business; however, from time to time we offer third-party hardware for certain projects in response to customer requests.

Our Lenovo-AsiaInfo division contributed approximately 8% to our gross revenues in the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, including a 10% contribution to software products and solutions revenue and a 1% contribution to service revenue. Lenovo-AsiaInfo contributed 7% to our gross revenue in the year-ago period and 18% in the preceding quarter.

During the first quarter, sales to our top four customers (China Mobile, China Unicom, China Netcom and China Telecom) accounted for approximately 92% of our total revenue.

Cost of revenues. Our cost of revenues was $17.2 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, a slight decrease compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2007. Cost of revenue decreased 19% compared to the previous quarter. The year-over-year decrease in cost of revenues was lower than our year-over-year increase in revenue, reflecting lower third-party hardware costs and improved cost control measures in our Lenovo-AsiaInfo business division. The sequential decrease in cost of revenues was primarily due to the decrease in third-party hardware.

Gross profit. Our gross profit margin increased significantly from 43% in the same period last year to 51% in the three- month period ended March 31, 2008. Sequentially, our gross profit margin increased from 48% to 51%. The improvement in gross margin reflects execution of our long-term strategy to focus on higher-margin software solutions, as well as improving operating results at our Lenovo-AsiaInfo division.

Operating expenses. Our operating expenses in the first quarter of 2008 were $15.2 million, representing an increase of 25% over the comparable period in 2007 and a 4% sequential increase. The increases were due to increased sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses discussed below.

Sales and marketing expenses were $7.9 million for the first quarter of 2008, representing an increase of 30% over the comparable period in 2007 and a slight 1% sequential increase. The increase was partly due to higher sales commissions as a result of higher contract backlog and partly due to our greater marketing efforts, which are intended to expand our market share and help us take advantage of new market opportunities.

General and administrative expenses were $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2008, representing an increase of 34% over the comparable period in 2007 and a 39% sequential decrease. The increases in general and administrative expenses were primarily due to the recovery of bad debt expense in the comparable period of 2007 and the pervious quarter.

Research and development expenses were $4.7 million for the first quarter of 2008, representing an increase of 14% over the comparable period in 2007 and a 4% sequential decrease. The year-over-year increase was in line with our strategy of continuing to invest in our research and development capabilities and position our company for future market opportunities.

Total other income. Total other income, including interest income, dividend income, gain from sales of investments, and other income in the first quarter of 2008 was $2.3 million, representing an increase of 55% over the comparable period in 2007 and a 54% sequential increase. The increases were primarily due to a higher gain from sales of a short-term investment during the first quarter of 2008.

Income from continuing operations. Income from continuing operations was $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2008, representing a decrease of 14% compared to the comparable period in 2007. Operating income from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2007 included a one-time gain on the settlement of an escrow arrangement with Lenovo of $2.7 million, as discussed in Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. Excluding this impact, income from continuing operations would have been $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2007. Operating income from continuing operations in the pervious quarter was $6.6 million. Sequentially, the decrease was due to seasonally lower sales in the first quarter of the year.

Income from discontinued operations. Income from discontinued operations was $1 million for the first quarter of 2008, representing a decrease of 32% over the comparable period in 2007 and a 47% sequential decrease.

Net income. Net income for the first quarter of 2008 was $5.3 million, or $0.12 per basic share, compared to $6.4 million, or $0.15 per basic share, for the year-ago period, and $8.5 million, or $0.19 per basic share, for the previous quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our capital requirements are primarily working capital requirements related to hardware sales and costs associated with the expansion of our business, such as research and development and sales and marketing expenses. We recognize hardware costs in full upon delivery of the hardware to our customers. In order to minimize our working capital requirements, we generally obtain from our hardware vendors payment terms that are timed to permit us to receive payment from our customers for the hardware before our payments to hardware vendors are due. With respect to our billing cycle, we generally require our customers to pay 80% to 90% of the invoice value of the hardware upon delivery. We typically place orders for hardware against back-to-back orders from customers and seek favorable payment terms from hardware vendors. However, we sometimes obtain less favorable payment terms from our customers, thereby increasing our working capital requirements. In addition to this careful management of our billing cycle, we have also historically financed working capital and other financing requirements through private placements of equity securities, our initial public offering in 2000 and, to a limited extent, bank loans.

Our net cash generated from operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was $0.5 million. This was primarily attributable to our net income of $5.3 million, adjusted by a net non-cash related expenses of $0.5 million, gain on sale of discontinued operations of $1.5 and a net increase in the components of our working capital of $3.8 million.

Our accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2008 was $54.1 million, consisting of $30.4 million in billed receivables and $23.7 million in unbilled receivables. Our billed receivables are recorded based on agreed milestones included in our customer contracts. Our unbilled receivables are based on the revenues that we have booked through the percentage completion method, but for which we have not yet billed the customer. Our day’s sales outstanding as of March 31, 2008 were 128 days, as compared to last quarter’s 108 days.

Our inventory position at the end of the first quarter of 2008 was approximately $10.7 million, as compared to $8.0 million as of December 31, 2007.

Our net cash generated from investing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was $4.4 million. This was primarily due to a decrease in restricted cash of $2.6 million and proceeds from sales of available for sales securities, which was partially offset by the purchase of short-term investments of $3.1 million.

Our net cash used in financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was $0.9 million. This was primarily due to repurchases of our common stock of $1.7 million, which was offset by proceeds generated from the exercise of stock options of $0.8 million.

As of March 31, 2008, we had total short-term credit facilities of $34.2 million for working capital purposes, expiring by December 2009, which were secured by bank deposits of $11.2 million. As of March 31, 2008, unused short-term credit facilities were $28.0 million and used facilities totaled $6.2 million. The used facilities were pledged as security for issuing standby letters of credit and trade notes payable to hardware suppliers and customers. Additional bank deposits of $2.3 million were used for issuing standby letters of credit and bank acceptance drafts as of March 31, 2008. Bank deposits pledged as security for these credit facilities totaled $13.5 million as of March 31, 2008 and are presented as restricted cash in our consolidated balance sheets.

We anticipate that our available funds and cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs for working capital, capital expenditures and business expansion through 2008. We may need to raise additional funds in the future, however, in order to fund acquisitions, develop new or enhanced services or products, respond to competitive pressures to compete successfully for larger projects involving higher levels of hardware purchases, or if our business otherwise grows more rapidly than we currently predict. We anticipate that we would raise additional funds, if necessary, through new issuances of shares of our equity securities in one or more public offerings or private placements, or through credit facilities extended by lending institutions.

In the event that we decide to pay dividends to our stockholders, our ability to pay dividends will depend in part on our ability to receive dividends from our operating subsidiaries in China. Foreign exchange and other regulations in China may restrict our ability to distribute retained earnings from our operating subsidiaries in China or convert those payments from RMB into foreign currencies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2008, we had short-term credit facilities for working capital purposes totaling $34.2 million, expiring by December 2009, of which $28.0 million had been used for issuing standby letters of credit and trade notes payable to hardware suppliers and customers. Unused short-term credit facilities were $6.2 million.

Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This standard also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies’ measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 12, 2007 or fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for certain non-financial assets and liabilities, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The standard requires companies to provide additional information that will help investors and other users of financial statements to more easily understand the effect of the company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings. It also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the company has chosen to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, “Business Combination”, to improve reporting by creating greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations. The standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. We are in the process of assessing the potential impact the adoption of SFAS 141R may have on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all entities to report non-controlling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same way as required in the consolidated financial statements. Moreover, SFAS160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and non-controlling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We are in the process of assessing the potential impact the adoption of SFAS160 may have on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We have not yet begun the process of assessing the potential impact the adoption of SFAS 161 may have on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

For information concerning certain risks that may affect our operating results and the value of our Common Stock, please see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in Part II Other Information.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily associated with our cash and short-term investments. To date, we have not entered into any types of derivatives to hedge against interest-rate changes. There have been no significant changes in our exposure to changes in interest rates for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Our exposure to interest rate changes is limited as we do not have any material borrowings.

We are exposed to exchange rate risk in connection with the relative value of the U.S. dollar and the RMB. Substantially all of our revenues and expenses relating to the service and software components of our business are denominated in RMB. As of March 31, 2008, the rate of exchange quoted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was US$1.00 = RMB7.012. If the exchange rate were to increase by 10% to US$1.00 = RMB7.7132, our net assets would potentially decrease by $13.8 million. If the exchange rate were to decrease by10% to US$1.00 = RMB6.3108, our net assets would potentially increase by $16.8 million.

The value of our shares may be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB because the value of our business is effectively denominated in RMB, while our shares are traded in U.S. dollars. Furthermore, an increase in the value of the RMB may require us to exchange more U.S. dollars into RMB to meet the working capital requirements of our subsidiaries and VIEs in China. Depreciation of the value of the U.S. dollar will also reduce the value of the cash we hold in U.S. dollars, which we may use for purposes of future acquisitions or business expansion. We actively monitor our exposure to these risks and adjust our cash position in the RMB and the U.S. dollar when we believe such adjustments will reduce our foreign exchange risk. For example, in February 2004 we exchanged approximately $28 million cash in US dollars into RMB in anticipation of increases in the value of the RMB. We did not engage in any significant foreign exchange transactions during the three-month period ended March 31, 2008.

As in any other business, we are subject to the risk of macroeconomic changes such as recessions and inflation.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, 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

See discussions under Item 3, Part I of our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 14, 2008, as amended. During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008, we did not have any other material legal proceedings brought against us. In addition, no material developments occurred in connection with any previously reported legal proceedings against us during the last fiscal quarter.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

The growth of our business is dependent on government telecommunications infrastructure and budgetary policies, particularly the allocation of funds to sustain the growth of the telecommunications industry in China.

Our telecommunications customers are directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the government of China. Accordingly, their business strategies, capital expenditure budgets and spending plans are largely decided in accordance with government policies, which, in turn, are determined on a centralized basis at the highest level by the National Development and Reform Commission of China. As a result, the growth of our business is heavily dependent on government policies for telecommunications infrastructure. Insufficient government allocation of funds to sustain the growth of China’s telecommunications industries in the future could reduce the demand for our products and services and have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business.

Historically, China’s telecommunications sector has been subject to a number of state-mandated restructurings. For example, in 2002 China Telecom was split geographically into a northern division (comprising 10 provinces) and a southern division (comprising 21 provinces). Under the restructuring, the northern division of China Telecom merged with China Netcom and was renamed China Network Communications Group Corporation, or China Netcom Group, while the southern division continued to use the China Telecom name. As a result of the restructuring, new orders for telecommunications infrastructure expansion and improvement projects decreased, adversely affecting our revenue. Any similar restructurings of this nature could cause our operating results to vary unexpectedly from quarter to quarter in the future.

Our customer base is concentrated and the loss of one or more of our customers could cause our business to suffer significantly.

We have derived, and believe that we will continue to derive, a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of large customers in the telecommunications industry, such as China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom and China Netcom Group. China Mobile accounted for 58% of our revenues in 2007. The loss, cancellation or deferral of any large contract by any of our large customers would have a material adverse effect on our revenues, and consequently our profits. Despite our business development in the security products and services market following the acquisition of Lenovo-AsiaInfo’s IT service business unit in 2004, the revenue expected to be generated by our business outside the telecommunications industry is still limited compared to our overall revenues. Moreover, we cannot provide any assurance that a material proportion of our revenues will be derived from other industries in the future.

Our acquisition of Lenovo’s IT services business and any future acquisitions or investments may expose us to potential risks and have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our business.

Selective acquisitions, such as our 2004 acquisition of Lenovo’s non-telecommunications IT service division, form part of our strategy to further expand our business. If we are presented with appropriate opportunities that we feel will enhance our revenue growth, operations and profitability, we may acquire additional businesses, services or products that are complementary to our core business. Such acquisitions could result in the use of significant amounts of cash and/or dilutive issuances of our common stock. Such acquisitions involve other significant risks. For example, our integration of such acquired entities and/or operations into our business may not be successful and may not enable us to expand into new business platforms as well as we expect. This would significantly affect the expected benefits of these acquisitions. Moreover, the integration of new businesses into our operations has required significant attention from our management. Future acquisitions will also likely present similar challenges.

The IT security products and services business unit we acquired from Lenovo in 2004 faced strong challenges in the final months of 2005. It experienced significantly lower shipment volume than we anticipated and made only a nominal contribution to our revenue for the fourth quarter of 2005. As a result, full year earnings for Lenovo-AsiaInfo were significantly below our expectations. Following the disappointing quarter, Mr. Yu Bing, formerly Chief Executive Officer of the Lenovo-AsiaInfo division and member of our Board, submitted his resignation. We also received resignations from approximately 45 other employees in our Lenovo-AsiaInfo division. Our management team, under the guidance of our Board, has conducted an inquiry into the events surrounding the revenue shortfall in the fourth quarter of 2005 and the resignations from the Lenovo-AsiaInfo division. On January 24, 2007, we entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Lenovo to resolve certain claims arising out of the acquisition. The Settlement Agreement provides for the mutual release of certain claims that we or Lenovo may have had against each other relating to the acquisition.

The acquisition of Lenovo’s non-telecommunications IT services division and possible future acquisitions may also expose us to other potential risks, including risks associated with unforeseen or hidden liabilities, the diversion of resources from our existing businesses and potential loss, or harm to, relationships with employees and clients as a result of our integration of new businesses. In addition, we cannot be sure that we will be able to realize the benefits we anticipate from acquiring any companies, or that we will not incur costs, including those relating to intangible assets or goodwill, in excess of our projected costs for these transactions. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to manage our business, our financial condition and our results of operations.

The long and variable sales cycles for our products and services can cause our revenues and operating results to vary significantly from period to period and may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

Our revenues and operating results will vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control and any of which may cause our stock price to fluctuate. A customer’s decision to purchase our services and products involves a significant commitment of its resources and extended evaluation. As a result, our sales cycle tends to be lengthy. We spend considerable time and expense educating and providing information to prospective customers about features and applications of our services and products. Because our major customers often operate large and complex networks, they usually expand their networks in large increments on a sporadic basis. The combination of these factors can cause our revenues and results of operations to vary significantly and unexpectedly from quarter to quarter.

A large part of the contract amount of our projects sometimes relates to hardware procurement. Since we recognize most of the revenues relating to hardware plus a portion of services and software revenues at the time of hardware delivery, the timing of hardware delivery can cause our quarterly gross revenues to fluctuate significantly. Due to the foregoing factors, we believe that quarter to quarter comparisons of our operating results may not be a good indication of our future performance and should not be overly relied upon. It is likely that our operating results in some periods may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In this event, the price of our common stock will probably decline, perhaps significantly more in percentage terms than any corresponding decline in our operating results.

Our working capital requirements may increase significantly.

We typically purchase hardware for our customers as part of our turn-key total solutions services. We generally require our customers to pay 80% to 90% of the invoice value of the hardware upon delivery. We typically place orders for hardware against back-to-back orders from customers and seek favorable payment terms from hardware vendors. This policy has historically minimized our working capital requirements. However, for certain large and strategically important projects, we have agreed to payment of less than 80% to 90% of the invoice value of the hardware upon delivery in order to maintain competitiveness. Wider adoption of less favorable payment terms or delays in hardware deliveries could cause our working capital needs to increase significantly.

We have sustained losses in prior years and may incur slower earnings growth, earnings declines or net losses in the future.

Although we had net income in 2004, 2006 and 2007, we sustained net losses in 2003 and 2005. There are no assurances that we can sustain profitability or avoid net losses in the future. We continue to expect that certain of our operating expenses will increase as our business grows. The level of these expenses will be largely based on anticipated organizational growth and revenue trends and a high percentage of those expenses, particularly compensation expenses, will be fixed. As a result, any delays in expanding sales volume and generating revenue could result in substantial operating losses.

Our high level of fixed costs, as well as increased competition in the software market, could result in reduced operating margins.

We maintain a relatively stable work force of software and network engineers engaged in all phases of planning and executing projects on behalf of our customers. As a result, our operating costs are relatively fixed from quarter to quarter, regardless of fluctuations in our revenues. Future fluctuations in our revenues could result in decreases in our operating margins. In addition, enhanced competition in the software market and other markets in which we operate could result in reduced prices, which, together with our relatively fixed operating costs, could also result in reduced operating margins.

PRC laws and regulations currently prohibit foreign-invested companies from engaging in systems integration businesses involving state secrets, which is part of the IT services business we acquired from Lenovo in 2004. PRC laws and regulations also restrict certain foreign invested companies from participating in the VATS business. Substantial uncertainties exist with respect to our contractual arrangements with Lenovo Computer, Lenovo Security and Star VATS, due to uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws and regulations.

In 2001, the State Secrecy Bureau of China promulgated the Administrative Measures for Qualification of Computer Information Systems Integration Involving State Secrets, which expressly prohibits foreign persons or foreign-invested enterprises from engaging in systems integration businesses involving state secrets, also referred to as “restricted businesses.”

We and our PRC operating subsidiaries are considered foreign persons or foreign-invested enterprises under PRC laws. In addition to a number of other types of IT services, one of the businesses operated by the IT services division we acquired from Lenovo in 2004 was a restricted business. We operate the restricted businesses primarily through Lenovo Security Technologies (Beijing), Inc. (“Lenovo Security”), Lenovo Computer System and Technology Services Limited (“Lenovo Computer”), which is owned by certain subsidiaries of Lenovo and has been operating the IT security solutions business for more than four years, continues to perform certain previously executed contracts. When we acquired the restricted business, we intended to operate the restricted business through Lenovo Security, upon Lenovo Security’s receipt of all requisite business licenses and qualifications, such as the Computer Information System Integration Involving State Secrets Qualification Certificate issued by the State Secrecy Bureau of China for Protection of State Secrets. Lenovo Security is in the process of applying for the remaining licenses. Since September, 2006, Lenovo Security has conducted most of our operations related to the restricted business and, consequently, generates most of our revenue derived from the restricted business.

Lenovo Computer is owned by certain subsidiaries of Lenovo. Lenovo Security is owned by Legend Holdings Limited, the parent company and controlling shareholder of Lenovo, and two of our employees who are PRC citizens. We do not currently have any equity interest in Lenovo Computer or in Lenovo Security, but instead enjoy economic benefits substantially similar to equity

ownership in such companies through contractual arrangements between Lenovo-AsiaInfo, our wholly-owned subsidiary, and these affiliated entities and their respective shareholders. Further information on these arrangements is set forth under the heading “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” in the definitive proxy statement for our 2008 annual meeting of stockholders, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2008.

At the closing of our acquisition of Lenovo’s IT services business, our Chinese legal counsel who represented us in the transaction, T&C Law Office, and Chinese legal counsel to Lenovo Group, Tian Yuan Law Firm, each delivered legal opinions to the effect that our ownership structure of Lenovo Computer and Lenovo Security, and the contractual arrangements among us, Lenovo-AsiaInfo, these affiliated entities and their respective shareholders, are in compliance with all existing PRC laws and regulations. There are, however, substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current or future PRC laws and regulations, including regulations governing the validity and enforcement of such contractual arrangements. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that PRC government authorities will not ultimately take a view contrary to the opinion of our and Lenovo’s Chinese counsel. If the PRC government finds that our contractual arrangements with Lenovo Computer and Lenovo Security do not comply with the prohibition on foreign-invested companies from engaging in systems integration businesses involving state secrets, we could be subject to severe penalties.

In September of 2004 we entered into similar contractual arrangements with Star VATS, a domestic company owned by certain of our employees who are PRC citizens, which has been established to engage in the VATS business in China. Star VATS is in the process of developing VATS products and services that we hope to offer in China. We anticipate that if we successfully launch our VATS products and services, all of our business related to such products and services will be conducted through Star VATS. Star VATS will generate any revenue relating to such business and will make use of the licenses and approvals that are essential to such business. We do not have any equity interest in Star VATS, but instead have the right to enjoy economic benefits similar to equity ownership through our contractual arrangements with Star VATS and its shareholders. In the opinion of our Chinese legal counsel who represented us in the transaction, T&C Law Firm, delivered at the time Star VATS was established, the contractual arrangements among us, Star VATS, and the shareholders of Star VATS were in compliance with all existing PRC laws and regulations. There are, however, substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws and regulations, including regulations governing the validity and enforcement of such contractual arrangements. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that PRC government authorities will not ultimately take a view contrary to the opinion of our Chinese legal counsel. If the PRC government finds that our contractual arrangements with Star VATS do not comply with the restrictions on certain foreign invested companies from engaging in VATS businesses, we could be subject to severe penalties.

Our contractual arrangements with Lenovo Computer, Lenovo Security and Star VATS may not be as effective in providing operational control as direct ownership of these affiliated entities and may be difficult to enforce.

Although we have been advised by our Chinese legal counsel who represented us in the transaction that our contractual arrangements with Lenovo Computer, Lenovo Security and Star VATS are valid, binding and enforceable under current PRC laws, these arrangements may not be as effective as direct ownership of these affiliated entities would be. For example, these affiliated entities and their respective shareholders could fail to perform or make payments as required under such contractual arrangements. In such event, we would have to rely on the PRC legal system to enforce these agreements. Any legal proceedings would be uncertain as to outcome and could result in the disruption of our business, damage to our reputation, diversion of our resources and the incurrence of substantial costs.

We may not be able to operate the systems integration businesses involving state secrets if we acquire all of the equity interest in Lenovo Computer and Lenovo Security.

PRC laws and regulations currently prohibit foreign persons or foreign-invested enterprises from engaging in systems integration businesses involving state secrets. We and our subsidiaries are considered foreign persons or foreign-invested enterprises under PRC laws. Unless such prohibition is lifted in the future, we will not be able to operate such business after we acquire all of the equity interest in Lenovo Computer and Lenovo Security pursuant to the terms of our contractual arrangements with Lenovo Computer and Lenovo Security and their respective shareholders. The loss of this line of business may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities may limit our ability to acquire PRC companies and adversely affect the implementation of our acquisition strategy and the failure by our shareholders who are PRC residents to make or obtain any required registrations pursuant to such regulations may subject us to legal sanctions.

On October 21, 2005, the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued a notice, known as “Circular 75,” which sets forth a new regulatory framework for acquisitions of PRC businesses involving offshore companies. Under Circular 75, if an acquisition of a PRC company by an offshore company controlled by PRC residents occurred prior to the issuance of the SAFE notice, certain PRC residents were required to submit a registration form to the local SAFE branch to register their ownership interests in the offshore company prior to March 31, 2006. Such PRC residents must also amend the registration form if there is a material event affecting the offshore company, such as, among other things, a change in share capital, a transfer of shares, or if such company is involved in a merger, acquisition or a spin-off transaction or uses its assets in China to guarantee offshore obligations. In the past, we have acquired a number of assets from, or equity interests in, PRC companies through issuances of our shares of common stock to individuals who may be deemed to be PRC residents for the purpose of the SAFE notices. However, there is substantial uncertainty as to whether we would be considered an “offshore company” for purposes of Circular 75, and, at present, it is unclear whether Circular 75 requires a company such as ours to register.

As it is uncertain how the SAFE notice will be interpreted or implemented, we cannot predict how these regulations will affect our future acquisition strategies and business operations. For example, if we decide to acquire additional PRC companies, we cannot assure you that we or the owners of such companies will be able to complete the filings and registrations, if any, required by the SAFE notice. This may restrict our ability to implement an acquisition strategy and could adversely affect our business and prospects.

In addition, six PRC regulatory authorities, including the PRC Ministry of Commerce and the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, jointly promulgated a new rule entitled “Provisions regarding Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors”, or the “New M&A Rules”, which became effective on September 8, 2006. The New M&A Rules establish additional procedures and requirements that could make merger and acquisition activities by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex, including, in some circumstances, advance notice to the Ministry of Commerce of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC domestic enterprise. Compliance with the New M&A Rules, and any related approval processes, including obtaining approval from the Ministry of Commerce, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.

Asset impairment reviews may result in future periodic write-downs.

Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142, which requires us, among other things, to conduct annual reviews of goodwill, and SFAS No. 144, which requires us to test intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. In connection with our business acquisitions, we make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of goodwill and intangible assets. In assessing the related useful lives of those assets, we have to make assumptions regarding their fair value, our recoverability of those assets and our ability to successfully develop and ultimately commercialize acquired technology. If those assumptions change in the future when we conduct our periodic reviews in accordance with applicable accounting standards, we may be required to record impairment charges.

We recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $21.2 million as a result of an independent valuation during the fourth quarter of 2005 of the goodwill and acquired intangible assets mainly attributable to our acquisition of Lenovo-AsiaInfo’s IT service business unit in 2004. No impairment charge was recorded in 2007. It is possible that future reviews will result in further write-downs of goodwill and other intangible assets.

We are highly dependent on our executive officers.

Each of our executive officers is responsible for an important segment of our operations. Although we believe that we have significant depth at all levels of management, the loss of any of our executive officers’ services could be detrimental to our operations. We do not have, and do not plan to obtain, “key man” life insurance on any of our officers.

We face a competitive labor market in China for skilled personnel and therefore are highly dependent on the skills and services of our existing key skilled personnel and our ability to hire additional skilled employees.

Competition for highly skilled software design, engineering and sales and marketing personnel is intense in China. Our failure to attract, assimilate or retain qualified personnel to fulfill our current or future needs could impair our growth. Competition for skilled personnel comes primarily from a wide range of foreign companies active in China, many of which have substantially greater resources than we have. Limitations on our ability to hire and train a sufficient number of personnel at all levels would limit our ability to undertake projects in the future and could cause us to lose market share.

We extend warranties to our customers that expose us to potential liabilities.

We customarily provide our customers with one to three year warranties, which cover both hardware and our proprietary and third-party software products. Although we seek to arrange back-to-back warranties with hardware and software vendors, we have the primary responsibility with respect to their warranties. Our contracts often lack disclaimers or limitations on liability for special, consequential and incidental damages, nor do we typically cap the amounts our customers can recover for damages. In addition, we do not currently purchase any insurance policy with respect to our exposure to warranty claims. The failure of our installed projects to operate properly could give rise to substantial liability for special, consequential or incidental damages, which in turn could materially and adversely affect us.

We sell our services on a fixed-price, fixed-time basis, which exposes us to risks associated with cost overruns and delays.

We sell most of our services on a fixed-price, fixed-time basis. In contracts with our customers, we typically agree to pay late completion fines of up to 5% of the total contract value. In large scale telecommunications infrastructure projects, there are many factors beyond our control which could cause delays or cost overruns. In this event, we would be exposed to cost overruns and liability for late completion fines. The Company has not experienced any material late completion fines in the past.

We may become less competitive if we are unable to develop or acquire new products, or enhancements to our existing products, that are marketable on a timely and cost-effective basis.

Our future operating results will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to enhance our existing products and services and to introduce new products and services to meet the requirements of our customers in a rapidly developing and evolving market. If we do not enhance our existing products and services or introduce new successful products and services in a timely manner, our products and services may become obsolete, and our revenues and operating results may suffer. Moreover, unexpected technical, operational, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of any products or services that we may plan to introduce in the future. We cannot be sure that any of these products or services will achieve widespread market acceptance or generate incremental revenues.

Our proprietary rights may be inadequately protected and there is a risk of poor enforcement of intellectual property rights in China.

Our success and ability to compete depend substantially upon our intellectual property rights, which we protect through a combination of confidentiality arrangements and copyright, trademark, and patent registrations. We have registered some marks and filed trademark applications for other marks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the Trademark Bureau of the State Administration of Industry and Commerce in China and the Trade Marks Registry in Hong Kong. We have also registered copyrights with the State Copyright Bureau in China with respect to certain of our software products, although we have not applied for copyright protection elsewhere (including the U.S.). We have filed some patent applications and have acquired some existing patents in the PRC for certain hardware and software products used or developed in our business. Despite these precautions, the legal regime protecting intellectual property rights in China is weak. Because the Chinese legal system in general and the intellectual property regime in particular, are relatively weak, it is often difficult to enforce intellectual property rights in China. In addition, there are other countries where effective copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited.

We enter into confidentiality agreements with most of our employees and consultants, and control access to, and distribution of, our documentation and other licensed information. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our licensed services or technology without authorization, or to develop similar technology independently. Policing unauthorized use of our licensed technology is difficult and there can be no assurance that the steps we take will prevent misappropriation or infringement of our proprietary technology. In addition, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources.

A portion of our business involves the development and customization of software applications for customers. We generally retain significant ownership or rights to use and market such software for other customer projects, where possible. However, our customers sometimes retain co-ownership and rights to use the applications, processes, and intellectual property so developed. In some cases, we may have no right or only limited rights to reuse or provide these developments to projects involving other customers. To the extent that we are unable to negotiate contracts which permit us to reuse source-codes and methodologies, or to the extent that we have conflicts with our customers regarding our ability to do so, we may be unable to provide similar solutions to our other customers.

We are exposed to certain business and litigation risks with respect to technology rights held by third parties.

We currently license technology from third parties and intend to do so increasingly in the future as we introduce services that require new technology. There can be no assurance that these technology licenses will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Our inability to obtain any of these licenses could delay or compromise our ability to introduce new services. In addition, we may or may allegedly breach the technology rights of others and incur legal expenses and damages, which could be substantial.

Investors may not be able to enforce judgments entered by United States courts against certain of our officers and directors.

We are incorporated in the State of Delaware. However, a majority of our directors and executive officers, and certain of our principal shareholders, live outside of the U.S., principally in Beijing and Hong Kong. As a result, you may not be able to:

•

effect service of process upon those persons within the U.S.; or

•

enforce against those persons judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments relating to the federal securities laws of the U.S.

The fact that our business is conducted in both U.S. dollars and Renminbi may subject us to currency exchange rate risk due to fluctuations in the exchange rate between those two currencies.

Substantially all of our revenues, expenses and liabilities are denominated in either U.S. dollars or RMB. As a result, we are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations between those currencies. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies, including the U.S. dollar. This change in policy has resulted in approximately 15% appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. The PRC government may decide to adopt an even more flexible currency policy in the future, which could result in further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar.

Certain of our revenues and expenses relating to hardware sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, and substantially all our revenues and expenses relating to the software and services component of our business are denominated in RMB. The value of our shares may be affected by the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the RMB because the value of our business is effectively denominated in RMB, while our shares are traded in U.S. dollars. Furthermore, an increase in the value of the RMB may require us to exchange more U.S. dollars into RMB to meet the working capital requirements of our subsidiaries in China. Depreciation of the value of the U.S. dollar will also reduce the value of the cash we hold in U.S. dollars, which we may use for purposes of future acquisitions or other business expansion.

AsiaInfo Holdings, Inc., our ultimate holding company, uses U.S. dollars as its reporting and functional currency. The financial records of our PRC subsidiaries are maintained in RMB, their functional currency and the currency of the PRC. Their balance sheets are translated into U. S. dollars based on the rates of exchange existing on the balance sheet date. Their statements of operations are translated using a weighted average rate for the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are reflected as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Fluctuation in exchange rate might result in significant foreign currency translation adjustments. We reported foreign currency translation adjustments of $7.0 million, $2.6 million and $2.2 million in other comprehensive income (loss) in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The markets in which we sell our services and products are competitive and we may not be able to compete effectively.

We operate in a highly competitive environment, both in the telecommunications market and in the market for IT security services and solutions. In the telecommunications market, our competitors include both multinational and local companies such as Amdocs, Digital China, Huawei, Linkage and Neusoft. In the security products and services market, our competitors are mainly local players such as Topsec and international players such as Cisco.

Our competitors, many of whom have greater financial, technical and human resources than we have, may be able to respond more quickly to new and emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of new products or services. It is possible that competition in the form of new competitors or alliances, joint ventures or consolidation among existing competitors may decrease our market share. Increased competition could result in lower personnel utilization rates, billing rate reductions, fewer customer engagements, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any one of which could materially and adversely affect our profits and overall financial condition.

Political and economic policies of the Chinese government could affect our industry in general and our competitive position in particular.

Since the establishment of the PRC in 1949, the Communist Party has been the governing political party in China. The highest bodies of leadership are the Politburo of the Communist Party, the Central Committee and the National People’s Congress. The State Council, which is the highest institution of government administration, reports to the National People’s Congress and has under its supervision various commissions, agencies and ministries, including the MII, the telecommunications regulatory body of the Chinese government. Since the late 1970s, the Chinese government has been reforming the Chinese economic system. Although we believe that economic reform and the macroeconomic measures adopted by the Chinese government has had and will continue to have a positive effect on economic development in China, there can be no assurance that the economic reform strategy will not from time to time be modified or revised. Such modifications or revisions, if any, could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China. Such developments could reduce, perhaps significantly, the demand for our products and services. Furthermore, changes in political, economic and social conditions in China, adjustments in policies of the Chinese government or changes in laws and regulations could adversely affect our industry in general and our competitive position in particular.

Recently, the Chinese government’s increased measures to control economic growth have contributed and will continue to contribute to cautious spending by our telecommunications customers. Such measures may also result in the delay of certain large telecommunications-related projects, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

High technology and emerging market shares have historically experienced extreme volatility and may subject you to losses.

The trading price of our shares may be subject to significant market volatility due to investor perceptions of investments relating to China and Asia, as well as developments in the telecommunications industry. In addition, the high technology sector of the stock market frequently experiences extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly affected the market prices of many software companies and which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of those companies.

If our stock price is volatile, we may become subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could result in a diversion of resources.

In the past, periods of volatility in the market price of a particular company’s securities have often been followed by the institution of securities class action litigation against that company. Many companies in our industry have been subject to this type of litigation in the past, and we are currently involved in this type of litigation as a result of allegedly improper allocation procedures relating to the sale of our common stock in connection with our initial public offering in March of 2000. For more information on that litigation, please see the discussion under the heading “Item 1. Legal Proceedings” in Part II of this Report. Litigation is often expensive and diverts management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business.

Future sales of shares by existing stockholders could cause the market price of our common stock to fall.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, the market price of our common stock could fall. Such sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

We are subject to anti-takeover provisions that could prevent a change of control and prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium on their common stock.

Our Board has the authority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock. Without any further vote or action on the part of our stockholders, the Board has the authority to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the preferred stock. This preferred stock, if it is ever issued, may have preference over and harm the rights of the holders of our common stock. Although the issuance of this preferred stock will provide us with flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, such an issuance may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

We currently have authorized the size of our Board to be not less than three or more than ten directors. The terms of the office of the eight-member board of directors have been divided into three classes: Class I, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of the stockholders to be held in 2009; Class II, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2010; and Class III, whose term will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2011. This classification of the Board may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in our control or management.

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, the statute prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date when the person became an interested stockholder unless, subject to certain exceptions, the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder; and an “interested stockholder” includes any person that owns 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock or that is our affiliate or associate.

Our change of control severance agreements with executive officers may discourage a change of control.

We have entered into change of control severance agreements with most of our executive officers. These agreements provide, among other things, that the executive officers would be entitled to various benefits upon the occurrence of a covered termination (as defined therein) which occurs within one year after a change of control (as defined therein), including payment of one year of base salary and bonus, immediate vesting of 50% of any outstanding unvested stock options held by the executive officer and the provision of medical benefits and housing allowance. If a change of control occurs, and regardless of whether a covered termination takes place, the executive officers may be entitled to accelerate vesting of 50% of any outstanding unvested stock options held by the executive officer. The potential obligations to pay executive officers such severance amounts may discourage a potential acquirer from effecting a change of control.

Failure to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

Since we are a Delaware Corporation, we are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits U.S. companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Non-U.S. companies, including some that may compete with our company, are not subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices may occur in the PRC. We can make no assurance, however, that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible.

If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to potential liabilities and anticipate recurring costs in complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

In July 2002, President George W. Bush signed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Act, into law. Among other things, the Act imposes corporate governance, reporting, and disclosure requirements; introduces stricter independence and financial expertise standards for audit committees; and sets stiff penalties for securities fraud.

The Act and the related rules and regulations have increased the scope, complexity and costs of our corporate governance, reporting, and disclosure practices, and may increase the risk of personal liability for our Board members, chief executive officer, and chief financial officer. Any such liabilities may adversely affect our reputation, our business, or our ability to meet listing criteria.

Section 404 of the Act requires our management and our independent registered public accounting firm to assess our internal controls over financial reporting on an annual basis. During the course of this evaluation, documentation and attestation, we may identify deficiencies that we may not be able to remedy in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. If we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we may not be able to conclude that we have effective internal controls, on an ongoing basis, over financial reporting in accordance with the Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn could harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our common stock. Furthermore, we will incur recurring costs and expend management time and other resources necessary to comply with Section 404 and other requirements of the Act.

We are exposed to certain tax risks with respect to tax benefits enjoyed by certain of our subsidiaries.

Our subsidiaries and VIEs in China are subject to PRC taxation. Historically, as foreign invested enterprises, or FIEs, those subsidiaries enjoyed various tax holidays and other preferential tax treatments, which reduced their effective income tax rates to 15% or lower. On January 1, 2008, the EIT Law took effect and has applied a uniform 25% enterprise income tax rate to all “resident enterprises” in China, including FIEs. Moreover, the new tax law applies to enterprises established outside of China with “management and control” located in China. Although “management and control” is not clearly defined, because substantially all of our management are currently located in China, we may be considered a PRC resident enterprise and therefore may be subject to the PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on our worldwide income. Certain of our subsidiaries in China will continue to enjoy preferential tax rates, if they are qualified as High and New Technology Enterprises under the EIT Law, but certain of our subsidiaries and VIEs will likely become subject to enterprise income tax at 25% as no preferential tax treatment would be applicable. This change in the PRC tax laws may increase our total tax expenses and adversely affect our results of operations. For more information, please see the discussion under the heading “Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” in part I of this report.

ITEM 2.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On September 11, 2007, our Board authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which we were entitled, from time to time during a four-month period, to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2007, we had repurchased 244,300 shares at a cost of $1,953,000. The transactions occurred in the open market and are in accordance with applicable regulations of the SEC. All shares of common stock repurchased by us under this stock repurchase program became part of our treasury stock. On February 27, 2008, our Board authorized an extension to this stock repurchase program, which will now expire on July 10, 2008. Under the extended program, we may, from time to time, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors, make one or more purchases on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, of 2,755,700 additional shares of common stock. Any common stock repurchased by us will become part of our treasury stock and may be retired or used by us to finance or execute acquisitions or other arrangements. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we repurchased 166,400 shares of our company’s common stock at a total cost of $1,664,000 pursuant to the extension of this repurchase program.
