Cablecom China Cablecom is a joint-venture provider of cable
television services in the People's Republic of China, operating in
partnership with a local state-owned enterprise ("SOE") authorized
by the PRC government to control the distribution of cable TV
services through the deployment of analog and digital cable
services. China Cablecom has consummated the acquisition of a 55
percent economic interest in a cable network in Hubei province with
paying subscribers exceeding 1,100,000. The Company originally
acquired operating rights of the Binzhou Broadcasting network in
Binzhou, Shandong Province in September 2007 by entering into a
series of asset purchase and services agreements with a company
organized by SOEs, owned directly or indirectly by local branches
of State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in five
different municipalities to serve as a holding company of the
relevant businesses. China Cablecom now operates 28 cable networks
with over 1.67 million paying subscribers. China Cablecom's
strategy is to replicate the acquisitions by operating partnership
models in other municipalities and provinces in the PRC and then
introducing operating efficiencies and increasing service offerings
in the networks in which it operates. Safe Harbor Statement The
