CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA), a global enterprise software and new
media company, announced today that it filed its Annual Report on Form
20-F for the year ended December 31, 2008 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, on June 30, 2009.
The 20-F discloses the remediation of the company’s material weaknesses
in internal controls over financial reporting that existed at
December 31, 2007. Further, there were no new material weaknesses
disclosed for the year ended December 31, 2008.
“We are very pleased to have remediated all of our previously-disclosed
material weaknesses in the area of certain tax, treasury and financial
reporting,” said Peter Yip, CEO of CDC Corporation “The remediation of
these material weaknesses is a significant achievement for us given the
diversity of our operations and the number of acquisitions we have
undertaken in the past few years. This is an exciting time for CDC
Corporation, with several strategic alternatives underway for CDC
Software; CDC Games’ upcoming highly-anticipated launch of Lord of the
Rings Online in China which we expect this year; and the growth in
Yulgang where we have seen a 45 percent increase in average daily
revenue in the second quarter compared to the first quarter.”
The 20-F can be found on CDC Corporation’s website (www.cdccorporation.net),
and on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).
