The Joint Venture is a sino-foreign joint venture between Solar Touch and Baoding Pascali Multimedia Transmission Networking Company Limited ("Baoding Multimedia") which is a subsidiary of Baoding Pascali Group Co., Limited, a Chinese state-owned enterprise. The Joint Venture was formed on July 23, 1999, when Baoding Multimedia and Solar Touch signed a joint venture contact (the "JV Contract") and the articles of association of the Joint Venture (the "JV Articles"). The JV Contract and JV Articles provided that the total amount of investment of the Joint Venture was RMB122.425 million (or US$14.8 million); and that the registered capital was RMB70 million (or US$8.46 million).
