On the basis of the duration and severity of the decline in the market price of the equity method investment's shares, the Company concluded that there has been a loss in value of the investment that is other-than-temporary and recorded an impairment loss of $38.3 million. This impairment loss relates to the decline in share price of VisionChina Media Inc. in which we have held a stake of approximately 15,331,305 ordinary shares since January 13, 2011. The impairment loss represents a non-cash charge.
