Outlook for First Quarter 2009 and Full Year 2009
The Company currently expects to generate net revenues in an amount ranging from $10.5 million to $11.5 million for the first quarter of 2009, compared to $11.05 million in the corresponding period in 2008, and $15.28 million in the prior quarter.
The projected sequential decline in net revenues in the first quarter of 2009 primarily reflects the termination of TopView product starting January 1st, 2009 and continued challenging market environment. While we started to offer alternative products to TopView customers during the fourth quarter of 2008, the negative impact from the termination of TopView may still be material to our business in 2009. We also expect a broader and deeper global recession in the coming quarters that may meaningfully impact our operations through 2009 as Chinese investors turning more cautious.
For 2009, the Company will focus effort and invest resources to upgrade key areas of its operations, such as people, data, products, customers, technologies and execution, thus build a solid foundation to sustain healthy long-term growth. At the same time, management understand challenges ahead and will be extremely prudent to manage balance sheet while deploying necessary resources in core areas. The Company intends to achieve free cash flow positive in 2009 on a full year basis, excluding potential M&A activities.
The above forecast reflects the Company's current and preliminary view, which is subject to change. A number of important factors including, but not limited to, fluctuation in the Chinese stock market, could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contained in the above guidance.
