Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had $7.1 million of cash on hand and had no long term debt.

Business Update

Subject to the effects of the global economic recession, Jingwei anticipates that its business will continue to grow in the next three to five years, and that the growth will be driven by demands from corporate clients for its integrated marketing services to reach the consumers with increasing spending power fueled by the government’s policy to stimulate internal consumption.

Amid global financial crisis, China’s exports have declined significantly. The government has implemented stimulus measures such as lower interest rates and encouraging banking for consumers to help increase consumer spending. Companies are eager to get their share of this increased consumer consumption. Jingwei is best positioned to target the focused consumers of international brands as well as local companies and provide an attractive cost effective model to reach target audiences. This trend is reflected in the increase of Jingwei’s data mining segment to account for 68% of total revenues for the first nine months of 2008.

In order to take advantages of this trend and to solidify its leadership in integrated marketing, Jingwei decided to cease negotiations to acquire the Red Flag Outdoor Advertising business and intends to focus on discrete data mining and marketing projects going forward less capital intensive requirements.
Another trend that impacts our business is the consolidation in the Telecom industry as well as the addition of new 3G services in China. As the telecom operators are in the final process of completing their restructurings, Jingwei experienced increase in software orders during the third quarter of 2008.
