Our Ownership Structure
Chinese law imposes specific restrictions on foreign investment
in certain industries such as value-added telecommunications and
Internet services. Similar to the other U.S.-listed China-based
companies in our sector, the corporate structure of Hurray! reflects
these restrictions.
We conduct our business in China through our wholly owned subsidiary,
Hurray! Times. In turn, we have contractual relationships that give
us effective control over several affiliated Chinese companies which
hold the requisite licenses to offer wireless value-added services
and operate Internet websites and provide such services to end-customers
in China.
In June 2004, Hurray! Solutions, one of our affiliated Chinese
entities, acquired Beijing Enterprise, which offers 2.5G services
through China Mobile. We also control Beijing Enterprise through
contractual relationships.
