Shuang Wang, CEO of Ninetowns, stated, "Despite the challenging global economic conditions, we have continued executing our strategic priorities. First, we continue to retain our core business-to-government client base and are extending our B2G services to new users through our versatile pricing structures as well as enhanced product features and services. As a result of our efforts, we were able to stabilize our service retention rate at close to 30%, increase the penetration of our paid services to free software users, as well as stabilize our overall revenue stream in 2008."
Cash, cash equivalents and term deposits amounted to CNY604.6 million as of December 31, 2008, compared to CNY675.9 million as of December 31, 2007. The decrease was mainly due to the investment in operating activities, purchases of investment securities and the acquisition of certain land use rights.
