NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Ì (<strong>Co</strong>ntinued)<br />
FOR THE PERIOD FROM JULY 5, 2005 TO DECEMBER 31, 2005<br />
AND THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006<br />
(Amounts in US$ thousands, except share and per share data)<br />
ber 31, 2006. Total direct external incremental costs of issuing the security of US$103 was charged against the<br />
proceeds of the Series A Shares.<br />
The significant terms of the Series A Shares are as follows:<br />
<strong>Co</strong>nversion<br />
The holders of Series A Shares have the right to convert all or any portion of their holdings into ordinary<br />
shares of the <strong>Co</strong>mpany at the then applicable conversion ratio (the ""<strong>Co</strong>nversion ratio'') at any time after the<br />
date of issuance to the closing of a Qualified IPO. In addition, each Series A Share is automatically<br />
convertible into one or more ordinary shares, subject to the <strong>Co</strong>nversion ratio adjustment as described below<br />
upon the consummation of the Qualified IPO.<br />
Each Series A Share is convertible into one ordinary share where the conversion price is equal to the<br />
Series A share issue price, except in the following events that the initial <strong>Co</strong>nversion ratio is adjusted: (1) upon<br />
delivery of the 2006 audited report, if the 2006 audited net earnings, as defined, is lower than US$28,500, the<br />
2006 adjusted <strong>Co</strong>nversion ratio will be adjusted to the ratio of US$30,000 divided by the audited 2006 net<br />
earnings, as defined (""the 2006 adjusted <strong>Co</strong>nversion ratio); (2) upon delivery of the 2007 audited report, if<br />
the 2007 audited net earnings, as defined, is lower than US$95,000, the 2007 <strong>Co</strong>nversion ratio will be adjusted<br />
by applying the ratio of US$100,000 divided by the audited 2007 net earnings, as defined, to the 2006 adjusted<br />
<strong>Co</strong>nversion ratio. No adjustment to the 2007 <strong>Co</strong>nversion ration will be made if a Qualified IPO consummates<br />
in 2007.<br />
The conversion price shall initially be equal to the applicable Series A issue price for each of the<br />
outstanding preferred shares, subject to adjustments for dilutions (""Series A Dilution Adjustment'') as follows<br />
if any of the events listed below occur prior to the conversion of the preferred shares:<br />
a) The <strong>Co</strong>mpany shall pay a dividend or make a distribution on its ordinary shares in ordinary<br />
shares, subdivide or reclassify its outstanding ordinary shares into a greater number of shares or combine<br />
or reclassify its outstanding ordinary shares into a smaller number of shares;<br />
b) The <strong>Co</strong>mpany shall issue additional ordinary shares, rights, options or warrants to subscribe for<br />
or purchase ordinary shares without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the then<br />
effective conversion price on the date the <strong>Co</strong>mpany issues or sells such new securities; and<br />
c) The <strong>Co</strong>mpany shall distribute to all holders of its ordinary shares any share capital of the<br />
<strong>Co</strong>mpany (other than ordinary shares) or evidences of indebtedness or cash or other assets (excluding<br />
regular cash dividends or distributions paid from retained earnings of <strong>Co</strong>mpany and dividends or<br />
distributions referred to in previous paragraph a)).<br />
The proceeds received from the issuance of Series A Shares were first allocated to the warrants (see<br />
note 15) and share options issued to the holders of the Series A-1 Shares (see note 19) based on their fair<br />
values with the residual amount allocated to the preferred shares. Management evaluated the conversion<br />
feature embedded in this preferred share arrangement to determine if there was a beneficial conversion<br />
feature. A calculation was performed to determine the intrinsic value of the difference between the most<br />
favorable conversion price and the fair market value of the underlying securities (ordinary shares) of the<br />
<strong>Co</strong>mpany issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Shares at the commitment date. Based on the<br />
calculation, the initial conversion price was lower than the fair value of the <strong>Co</strong>mpany's ordinary shares at the<br />
commitment date determined by management based on a valuation performed by Sallmanns. The computed<br />
intrinsic value of the conversion feature of US$1,568 was recorded as a deemed dividend at the date of<br />
