iSoftStone Provides Statements of Cash Flows and Details of Bank Balances Supplementary to its First Quarter 2011 Earnings Release dated May 13, 2011

2011-06-01 05:53 2451

BEIJING, June 1, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- iSoftStone Holdings Limited (NYSE: ISS) ("iSoftStone" or the "company"), a leading China-based IT services provider, today provided additional disclosure information to its quarterly earnings results announced on May 13, 2011, including unaudited statements of cash flows for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, and unaudited bank account details as of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011 in response to the recent increasing concerns about financial integrity and soundness of corporate governance practices of U.S. listed Chinese companies after one China-based IT service company has been alleged to have committed fraudulent acts.

Mr. Xiaosong (Jonathan) Zhang, iSoftStone's Chief Financial Officer, said, "iSoftStone operates a global business portfolio and business base with 19 sales and delivery centers worldwide of which 13 are located in China. Therefore, we have various bank accounts with local Chinese commercial banks to facilitate our operational activities relating to payments for payroll, reimbursements, purchases, and taxes in each city where we conduct our business. We manage almost all treasury related activities centrally at our headquarters through e-banking systems with these commercial banks. In our daily operation, we have clearly defined authorization procedures for payment approvals with limits for each level of approval and segregation of duties in access to these e-banking systems and check books. Senior management monitors the cash positions through detailed cash reports on the weekly basis, and the e-banking systems allow us to validate the account balances and promptly investigate transaction details of any suspicious activities identified.

"To increase investors' sustained visibility of our quarterly changes in cash, we will provide statements of cash flows in our future quarterly earnings news releases, which we also furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 6-K."

Mr. Tianwen Liu, Chairman and CEO of iSoftStone, said, "Long before becoming a public company, we adopted the bulk of our corporate governance practices that are in place today, and we will continue to strive to meet the highest standards in corporate governance in the future. We thoroughly understand the meaning of "creditability" in market and will continue to adhere to the principles of financial integrity and transparency. It is unfortunate that an isolated case of alleged fraud and subsequent bad judgment happened in the IT sector, which has affected all IT companies in the past few weeks. Fraud is possible anywhere, in any industry. At iSoftStone, we are taking the very best actions possible to prevent and defeat fraudulent activities. Despite these near-term concerns, we are continuing on our long-term plan by moving ahead to capitalize on the market opportunities available to us, by focusing on our established strategies to grow our business, and by achieving our short-term and long-term goals."
