D. Risk Factors

Risks Related to Our Business and Industries

We may not be successful
in operating and improving our existing online games to satisfy the changing demands and preferences of players

The level
of demand and market acceptance of our existing online games is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Our future operating results will depend on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:



| |  |  | the popularity of existing and new online games operated by us;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the introduction of new online games by us or third parties, competing with or replacing our existing online games;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic conditions, particularly economic conditions adversely affecting discretionary consumer spending;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in our customer demands and preferences;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | regulatory and other risks associated with our operations in China, Taiwan and Southeast Asia;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the availability of other forms of entertainment; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | critical reviews and public tastes and preferences, all of which change rapidly and cannot be predicted.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our ability to plan for product development and distribution and promotional activities will be significantly affected by how well we
anticipate and adapt to relatively rapid changes in consumer tastes and preferences. Currently, a substantial portion of our online games revenue is derived from revenues from the online MahJong games and other casual games offered in Taiwan and
Hong Kong by FunTown and from three licensed games, FIFA Online 2, Dragonica Online and Granado Espada, operated by IAHGames in Southeast Asia. However, there is no assurance that these games will continue to be popular. A decline in the popularity
of online games in general is likely to adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. To maintain competitiveness of our games, we are generally required to continuously invest in enhancing, improving, expanding or
upgrading our games. If we fail to do so, revenues generated from our existing games may decline.

In addition, we expect that
as we introduce new online games, a portion of our existing customers will switch to the new games. If this transfer of players from our existing games exceeds our expectations, we may have to adjust our marketing, pricing and other business plans
and, as a result, our growth and profitability could be materially and adversely affected.

In operating our Asian online
game and service business, we may fail to launch new games according to our timetable, and our new games may not be commercially successful

In order for our Asian online game and service business strategy to succeed over time, we will need to license, acquire or develop new online games that can generate additional revenue and further
diversify our revenue sources. A number of factors, including technical difficulties, government approvals and game licenses required for launching new games, lack of sufficient game development personnel and other resources, and adverse
developments in our relationship with the licensors of our new licensed games could result in delay in launching our new games. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet our timetable for new game launches.

In January 2009, we introduced Holic Online, an adventure-themed massively multi-player online role playing game (MMORPG), in
Taiwan. Holic Online was not commercially successful in Taiwan. As a result, we terminated the Holic Online exclusive game license agreement in December 2010 and completely ceased the operation in March 2011. On June 25, 2009, we launched
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, a war-themed MMORPG, in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. On July 7, 2009, we launched Luna Online, a casual fantasy-themed MMORPG in the PRC. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning and Luna Online were not
commercially successful in the territories in which they were launched. As a result, we terminated the license agreements for these two games in April 2010 and June 2010, respectively. In addition, we have several MMORPGs and two non-role playing
massively multiplayer online games (non-RPG MMOs) in the pipeline, which we expect to launch in various geographic markets. For additional information, see Item 4, Information on the Company  B. Business Overview 
Asian Online Game and Service Business in this annual report. There are many factors that may adversely affect the popularity of our new games. For example, we may fail to anticipate and adapt to future technical trends and new business
models, fail to satisfy game player preferences and requirements, fail to effectively plan and organize marketing and promotion activities, fail to effectively detect and prevent programming errors or defects in the games, and fail to operate our
new games at acceptable costs. We cannot assure you that our new games will gain market acceptance and become commercially successful. If we are not able to license, develop or acquire additional online games that are commercially successful, our
future revenues and profitability may decline.

Due to increased competition among online games operators in the PRC, Taiwan and Southeast
Asia, license fees for online games have increased and most licensors are demanding upfront license fees and guaranteed minimum royalty payments. If any of the new games we license from third parties fails to appeal to players, we may not be able to
fully recover upfront and/or minimum royalty licensing costs, which can be significant. As a result, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and the
trading price of our Shares

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reasonable assurance with respect
to our financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial reports and effectively prevent fraud, our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. We are
subject to reporting requirements under the U.S. securities laws. The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on such companys
internal control over financial reporting in its annual report, which must contain an assessment by management of the effectiveness of such companys internal control over financial reporting. In making such assessment, our management also used
the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. In addition, an independent registered public accounting firm must express an opinion on the effectiveness of
our Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting and concluded that as of December 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance, that information required to be disclosed by us, in the reports
that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, was recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis, and these controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we
file or submit under the Exchange Act was accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As disclosed in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 20-F, we reported a material weakness that related to our inability to exercise sufficient control over a majority of T2CNs assets and its financial
reporting process. We determined that there were inadequate controls in place to address risks related to usurpation of established policies, procedures and control systems related to T2CN which resulted in our inability to exercise sufficient
control over a majority of T2CNs assets and its financial reporting process, which eventually resulted in a significant loss to us. As of December 31, 2011, we have remediated the previously reported material weakness in internal control
over financial reporting by taking a series of remedial measures, including, among other things (1) establishing a dedicated team under the supervision of our audit committee to reassess and strengthen the procedures for identifying the
appropriate controls over our PRC business units; including a) the process of the appointment of management to our PRC business units, b) the financial reporting process used by our PRC business units, c) the treasury procedures utilized by our PRC
business units, d) strengthening controls over the utilization and custody of the company chops and legal representative chops of our PRC business units, and e) strengthening the contract review and approval procedures for our PRC business units,
(2) strengthening the provisions of employment contracts and the employee handbook which can effectively govern our PRC employees, (3) establishing policies and procedures relating to monitoring controls over our PRC business units, and
(4) strengthening of information and communication and logical access of financial data between our PRC business units and the Companys management. We have undertaken and completed, as appropriate, testing to validate the effective
implementation of the remedial measures described above and we have concluded that the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting we previously reported has been remediated as of December 31, 2011.

We have completed our Section 404 assessment under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and received our auditors attestation as of
December 31, 2011. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm includes an opinion regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. However, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance
with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the control may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in
the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn could harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our Shares. Furthermore, we may incur additional costs and use significant management
and other resources in an effort to comply with Section 404 and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act going forward.

Our
results of operations are subject to significant fluctuations

Our revenues, expenses and results of operations have varied
in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. The key factors affecting our businesses include:



| |  |  | Gaming software and service business: the regulatory restrictions applicable to the Internet gaming industry; global economic conditions and
general economic conditions of the markets where the products of Everest Gaming target; availability of the Internet infrastructure; and the technological and other competition from existing and new competitors of Everest Gaming.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Asian online game and service business: our ability to retain existing users; attract new users and maintain user satisfaction; the pace of rolling out
new games or updating existing games by us or our competitors; the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to our business operations and expansion; seasonal trends in Internet use; price competition in the industry;
regulatory and other risks associated from our operations in the PRC, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In
addition, our operating expenses are based on our expectations of the future demand for our services and are relatively fixed in the short term. We may be unable to adjust spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected demand shortfall. A decrease
in revenues in relation to our expenses could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. You should not place undue reliance on our financial guidance, nor should you rely on year-to-year or
quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations as indicators of our future performance.

Our business
strategy, which contemplates growth through acquisitions and strategic investments, exposes us to significant risks

We
have pursued and may continue to pursue growth through acquisitions and strategic investments. Any acquisition or investment is subject to a number of risks. Such risks include the diversion of management time and resources, disruption of our
ongoing business, lack of familiarity with new markets, difficulties in supporting the acquired business, and dilution to existing stockholders if our common stock is issued in consideration for an acquisition or investment, incurring or assuming
indebtedness or other liabilities in connection with an acquisition.

We entered into strategic alliances with SoftStar
Entertainment Inc. (SoftStar), Neostorm Holdings Limited (Neostorm), XLGames Inc. (XL Games), Access China Holding Limited (Access China), Gorilla Banana Entertainment Corp. (Gorilla Banana
Entertainment), JC Entertainment Corporation (JC Entertainment), Possibility Space Incorporated, and East Gate Media Contents & Technology Fund (East Gate) in June 2007, October 2007, December
2007, January 2008, May 2009, September 2009, December 2009, and August 2010, respectively. SoftStar is an online game development and publishing company incorporated in Taiwan. Neostorm was formed by the merger of four
previously independent game development studios, and operates titles currently in the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. Neostorm focuses on medium-core casual game titles and is also developing smartphone versions of their existing game titles. XL
Games was founded by the creator of one of the most popular online game franchises in history and focuses on MMORPGs with studios in Seoul, South Korea and Austin, Texas. Access China is an online game software developer in the PRC. Gorilla Banana
Entertainment is an online game software developer in Korea. JC Entertainment is a publicly-listed company which develops online games in Korea. Possibility Space Incorporated is an online game software developer in the PRC. East Gate is a Korean
Fund which invests in online game businesses and films.

The total costs incurred in connection with our acquisitions and
investments in various businesses in 2011 were approximately US$5.2 million. Our financial results may be affected by such acquisitions or investments. We may incur debts upon an acquisition or suffer losses related to impairment of these
investments. These debts or losses could negatively impact our results of operations. We recognized an impairment loss on goodwill of approximately US$5.1 million, and an impairment loss on investments of approximately US$13.3 million in 2011. See
note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information. Any impairment on goodwill and marketable securities and investments in the future may have a negative impact on our financial results. We will continue to examine the
merits, risks and feasibility of potential transactions, and expect to explore additional acquisition opportunities in the future. Such examination and exploration efforts, and any related discussions with third parties, may or may not lead to
future acquisitions and investments. We may not be able to complete acquiring or investing transactions that we initiate. Our ability to grow through such acquisitions and investments will depend on many factors, including the availability of
suitable acquisition candidates at an acceptable cost, our ability to reach agreement with acquisition candidates or investee companies on commercially reasonable terms, the availability of financing to complete the transactions and our ability to
obtain any required governmental approvals.

We also face challenges in integrating any acquired business. These challenges include
eliminating redundant operations, facilities and systems, coordinating management and personnel, retaining key employees, managing different corporate cultures, maintaining the relationship with the suppliers, vendors and/or distributors of acquired
businesses, and achieving cost reductions and cross-selling opportunities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully integrate all aspects of acquired businesses. The process of integrating the acquired business may disrupt our
business and divert our resources. In addition, the benefits of an acquisition or investment transaction may take considerable time to be fully realized and we cannot assure you that any particular acquisition or investment and the subsequent
integration will produce the intended benefits.

The online games market is characterized by rapid technological change,
and failure to respond quickly and effectively to new Internet technologies or standards may have a material adverse effect on our business

The online games industry is evolving rapidly. Any new technologies and new standards may require increases in expenditures for online game development and operations. In addition, we use internally
developed software systems that support nearly all aspects of our billing and payment transactions in our Asian online game and service business. All of our businesses may be adversely affected if we are unable to upgrade our systems effectively to
accommodate future traffic levels, to avoid obsolescence or to successfully integrate any newly developed or acquired technology with our existing systems. Capacity constraints could cause unanticipated system disruptions and slower responses, which
could adversely affect data transmission and game play. These factors could, among other things, cause us to lose existing or potential users and existing or potential game development partners.

Our business could suffer if we do not successfully manage current growth and potential future growth

We are pursuing a number of growth strategies. Some of these strategies relate to services, products or markets in which we lack
experience and expertise. Our growth to date has placed, and our anticipated further expansion of our operations will continue to place, a significant strain on our management, operation systems and resources. In addition to training and managing
our workforce, we will need to continue to develop and improve our financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures, including those of acquired businesses. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively manage
the growth of our operations, and any failure to do so may limit our future growth and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The current global economic slowdown and other adverse economic conditions may negatively impact our business

The current global economic slowdown has resulted in an increased level of commercial and consumer delinquencies, lack of consumer
confidence and increased market volatility. These unfavorable changes in economic conditions have resulted in decreased spending by our customers. The impact of economic conditions on our licensees and business partners could adversely affect our
business and revenues. In addition, the current global financial turmoil and the tightening of credit have resulted in a general credit crunch and have negatively impacted our ability to obtain additional financings. If the current global economic
slowdown and global financial turmoil continue on a sustained basis, they will further negatively impact our Asian online game and service business and the demand for Everest Gamings gaming software products and services, which will adversely
affect our business, revenues, cash flows, profitability and financial condition.

We recorded operating losses in past
years, and we may experience losses in the future

In 2009, 2010 and 2011, we recorded an operating loss of US$40.1
million, US$47.7 million and US$24.1 million, respectively. Our future profitability will depend primarily upon the performance of our Asian online game and service business and the Everest Gaming business. We cannot assure you that we will not
experience operating or net losses in future periods.

Our Asian online game and service business faces intense competition, which may adversely
affect our revenues, profitability and planned business expansion

The online games market is highly competitive. Online
casual game operators in Greater China and Southeast Asia are currently our primary competitors. We also compete with MMORPG operators throughout Greater China and Southeast Asia. Our major competitors in Taiwan include Gamania Digital Entertainment
Co., Ltd. (Gamania), Soft-World International Corporation (Soft-World), International Games System, Co., Ltd. (IGS), UserJoy Technology Co., Ltd. (UserJoy) and GodGame Inc. (GodGame). Our
major competitors in the PRC include Shanda Interactive Entertainment Ltd. (Shanda), Giant Interactive Group, Inc. (Giant), Changyou.com Limited (Changyou), The9 Limited, Shanghai Everstar Online Entertainment
Co., Ltd. (Nineyou), Tencent Holdings Limited (Tencent), Perfect World Co., Ltd. (Perfect World), Kingsoft Corporation Limited (Kingsoft), Beijing Globalink Computer Technology Co.,
Ltd.(Ourgames.com) and Chinagames.net. Our major competitors in Southeast Asia are Asiasoft International Co., Ltd. (Asiasoft) and Garena Interactive Holding Limited (Garena).

In addition, we compete for users against various offline games, such as console games, arcade games and handheld games, as well as
various other forms of traditional or online entertainment.

We expect more online games operating companies to enter in the
markets where we operate, including Greater China and Southeast Asia, and a wider range of online games to be introduced to these markets, given the relatively low entry barriers to the online games industry and the increasing popularity of
Internet-based businesses. Our competitors vary in size and include private and public companies, many of which have greater financial, marketing and technical resources as well as name brand recognition. We intend to continue to enhance our market
position through providing competitive products and quality services that meet market trends and users preferences, as well as strengthening sales effectiveness.

As a result of the above, significant competition may reduce the number of our users or the growth rate of our user base, reduce the average number of hours played by our users, or cause us to reduce
usage fees. All of these competitive factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Asian online game and service business depends on the reliability of the network infrastructure and related services provided by ourselves and third parties, which is subject to physical,
technological, security and other risks; the Everest Gaming business also faces similar risks

The development and
operation of our online networks and those of Everest Gaming are subject to physical, technological, security and other risks which may result in interruption in service or reduced capacity. These risks include physical damage, power loss,
telecommunications failure, capacity limitation, hardware or software failures or defects and breaches of physical and cybersecurity by computer viruses, system break-ins or otherwise. An increase in the volume of usage of online services could
strain the capacity of the software and hardware employed, which could result in slower response time or system failures. We have a variety of backup servers at our primary site to deal with possible system failures. However, we do not have
redundant facilities in the event of an emergency. The occurrence of any of these events could result in interruptions, delays or cessation in service to users of our online services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and
results of operations.

While we and Everest Gaming have implemented industry-standard physical and cybersecurity measures,
our network and those of Everest Gaming may still be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses, denial of service and other disruptive problems. Our Internet-based services may be interrupted as a result of the accidental or intentional
actions of Internet users, our current and former employees or others. A party that is able to circumvent security measures could misappropriate proprietary information, attack our security and network system, and, perhaps, most importantly, cause
interruptions in our operations. We and Everest Gaming have experienced in the past, and may experience in the future, security breaches and attacks. We may be required to expend significant capital or other resources to protect against the threat
of security breaches and attacks or to alleviate problems caused by such actions. There can be no assurance that any measures implemented will not be circumvented in the future. Furthermore, a successful security breach or attack may lead us to
incur substantial costs to repair damage or restore data, implement substantial organizational changes and training to prevent future similar attacks and lost revenues and litigation costs due to misused sensitive information, and cause substantial
reputational damage.

Our business and that of Everest Gaming are also vulnerable to delays or interruptions due to our
reliance on infrastructure and related services provided by third parties. End-users of Everest Gamings gaming software depend on ISPs and Everest Gamings system infrastructure for access to the Internet gaming sites operated
historically by UIM and its sub-licensees and currently by Everest Gaming. Many of these services have experienced service outages in the past and could experience service outages, delays and other difficulties due to system failures, stability or
interruption. For example, in February 2007, an earthquake off the coast of Taiwan, and in March 2011 an earthquake off the north-east coast of Japan, damaged several undersea fiber optic cables linking countries such as Malaysia, Singapore,
Australia, Japan, South Korea, China, the United States and Europe, causing disruptions in Internet traffic worldwide. We may lose customers as a result of delays or interruption in service, including delays or interruptions relating to high volumes
of traffic or technological problems, which may prevent communication over the Internet and could materially adversely affect our business, revenues, results of operations and financial condition.

Any failure to maintain a stable and efficient distribution and payment network could
have a material and adverse impact on our Asian online game and service business, financial condition and results of operations

Our Asian online game and service business operation relies heavily on a multi-layer distribution and payment network composed of third party distributors for our sales to, and collection of payment from,
our users. As we do not enter into long-term agreements with any of our distributors, we cannot assure you that we will continue to maintain favorable relationships with them. If we fail to maintain a stable and efficient distribution and payment
network, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

In addition,
our ability to process electronic commerce transactions depends on bank processing and credit card systems. In order to prepare for certain types of system problems, we have a formal disaster recovery plan. Nevertheless, any system failure,
including network, software or hardware failure, which causes a delay or interruption in our e-commerce services could have a material adverse effect on our business, revenues, results of operations and financial condition.

We could be liable for breaches of security on our websites and fraudulent transactions by users of our websites

A portion of our transactions are conducted through our websites. In such transactions, secured transmission of confidential information
(such as customers credit card numbers and expiration dates, personal information and billing addresses) over public networks is essential to maintain consumer confidence. In addition, we may face internal fraud, including potential
unauthorized usage of customer credit card information by our employees. While we are not aware of any breaches of security on our websites having occurred and we have taken steps to prevent this, including the implementation of payment card
industry data security standards, our current security measures may not be adequate. Security breaches could expose us to litigation and possible liability for failing to secure confidential customer information and could harm our or our
licensees reputation and ability to attract and retain customers. Everest Gaming may also face similar risks in its online gaming operations.

Undetected programming errors or defects in our software, services and games and the proliferation of cheating programs could materially and adversely affect our Asian online game and service business
and the Everest Gaming business, financial condition and results of operations

Everest Gamings software, services
and games may contain undetected programming errors or other defects. These errors or other defects could damage Everest Gamings reputation and subject it to liability. As to online games, parties unrelated to us may develop cheating programs
that enable users to acquire superior features for their game characters that they would not have otherwise. Furthermore, certain cheating programs could cause the loss of a characters superior features acquired by a user. The occurrence of
undetected errors or defects in our games, and our failure to discover and disable cheating programs affecting the fairness of our game environment, could disrupt our operations, damage our reputation and detract from the game experience of our
users. As a result, such errors, defects and cheating programs could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If such errors, defects and cheating programs occur in software, services and games
Everest Gaming operates, Everest Gamings business operations and, in turn, our business and financial condition, could be materially and adversely affected.

Operation of pirate game servers and the expenses incurred in protecting our Asian online game and service business operation against unlawful operations through pirate servers may adversely affect our
business

We continue to face challenges from pirate game servers, which are game servers that operate unauthorized copies
of our online games and permit users to play those games without purchasing pre-paid game cards from us. The existence of unauthorized servers may attract game players away from our games and may result in decreases in our revenues. We have detected
the operation by pirate servers of unauthorized copies of several of our games. In January 2009, for example, we discovered that certain unauthorized third parties had misappropriated the source codes of Luna Online and had set up unauthorized
servers to unlawfully operate the game in the PRC. Although we have made efforts to detect and shutdown pirate servers in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, we cannot assure you that such efforts will be successful in eliminating these unauthorized
servers. In addition, detailed comparisons of software codes and litigation proceedings are often necessary to enforce the intellectual property rights, whether owned by or licensed by us, which sometimes result in substantial costs. The continued
illegal operation of any of our existing games by pirate game servers, or the illegal operation of any of our new games by pirate servers, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to claims of intellectual property right infringement by third parties,
which could subject us to significant liabilities and other costs

Our success depends largely on our ability to use and
develop our technology and know-how without infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties. We cannot ensure that third parties will not assert intellectual property claims against us. The validity and scope of claims relating to
the intellectual property may involve complex scientific, legal and factual questions and analysis, and tend to be uncertain. If third parties assert copyright or patent infringement or violation of other intellectual property rights against us, we
have to defend ourselves in legal or administrative proceedings, which can be costly and time consuming and may significantly divert the efforts and resources of our technical and management personnel. An adverse determination in any such
proceedings to which we may become a party could subject us to significant liability to third parties, require us to seek licenses from third parties, and prevent us from selling our products and services. The imposition of liabilities that are not
covered by insurance, in excess of insurance coverage or for which we are not indemnified by a content provider, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may need to incur significant expenses to protect our intellectual property rights, and if we are unable to adequately protect our
intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be harmed

We regard our copyrights, service marks,
trademarks, trade secrets, patents and other intellectual property as critical to our success. We rely on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, trade secret protection, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, and other contractual
provisions to protect our proprietary software, trade secrets and similar intellectual property. We have patents, copyrights and trademarks in certain jurisdictions and may apply for further trademark and copyright registrations and additional
patents, which may provide such protection in relevant jurisdictions. However, we cannot assure you that our efforts will prove to be sufficient or that third parties will not infringe upon or misappropriate our proprietary rights. Unauthorized use
of the intellectual property, whether owned by or licensed to us, could adversely affect our business and reputation.

The
validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property in Internet-related industries are evolving, and therefore, uncertain. In particular, the laws and enforcement procedures of the PRC, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia are
uncertain or do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws and enforcement procedures of the United States do. We may have to engage in litigation or other legal proceedings to enforce and protect our intellectual
property rights, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our future results of operations or the growth of our business may suffer if we are unable to maintain satisfactory relationships with
the licensors of our online games

We primarily source MMORPGs, advanced casual games and non-RPG MMOs through licensing
from developers in various regions where online game development is relatively established. As of the date of this annual report, we have several licensed MMORPGs and licensed advanced casual games and non-RPG MMOs in our online game portfolio,
including the games we currently offer and the games in the pipeline. We need to maintain stable and satisfactory working relationships with our licensors in order to ensure the continued operation of our licensed online games and our continued
access to new online game licenses. We depend on our licensors to provide the necessary technical support for the operation of the licensed games as well as expansion packs and upgrades that sustain continuing interest in the games. Our ability to
maintain satisfactory working relationships with our licensors may also influence our ability to license new online games developed by the same or other licensors. If we are unable to maintain satisfactory relationships with our licensors, our
financial condition, results of operations, future profitability and growth prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

We may need additional capital in the future, and it may not be available on acceptable terms

The development of our business may require significant additional capital in the future to:



| |  |  | fund our operations;
| | - |  | --------------------



| |  |  | enhance and expand the range of products and services we offer; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | respond to competitive pressures and perceived opportunities, such as investment, acquisition and international expansion activities.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us,
if at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations. Moreover, even if we are able to continue our operations, any failure to obtain additional financing could have a material and
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and we may need to delay the deployment of our services. See Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects  B. Liquidity and Capital
Resources.

We have had significant turnover in our management team and additional turnover could harm our business

The success of our business is heavily dependent upon the services of our management team and other key personnel. We
have experienced substantial turnover among members of our board of directors and senior management team in the past year. Further turnover of directors, senior management or key personnel could harm our business. Furthermore, we must successfully
integrate all new management and other key personnel into our organization to achieve our operating objectives; failure to do so could adversely affect our business.

Our results of operations and financial condition are affected by political stability, as well as the occurrence of natural disasters and epidemics

We operate our Asian online game and service business in Greater China and Southeast Asia. Political unrest, war, acts of terrorism and
other instability, as well as natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons which are common in Greater China and Southeast Asia, can result in disruption to our business or the businesses of our customers.

Our business could be adversely affected by natural disasters and the effects of influenza A virus subtypes H1N1, H5N1, SARS or other
epidemics. Any prolonged recurrence of such adverse public health developments in the regions where we operate may have material adverse effects on our business operations. These could include illness and loss of our management and key employees.
Natural disasters or outbreak of epidemics may result in a decrease in economic activities or temporary closure of many businesses and disruption in our operations. In addition, other major natural disasters may also adversely affect our business
by, for example, causing disruptions of the Internet network or otherwise affecting access to our games.

Risks Related to Our Joint
Venture with BetClic

The limited operating history of the Everest Gaming business and our Asian online game and service
business may not provide you with an adequate basis upon which to evaluate our business and prospects

We commenced our
gaming software and service business operations in April 2004 and our Asian online game and service business in January 2006. We sold a 60 percent interest in our gaming software business to BetClic, a leading European sports betting and online
gaming group, on April 8, 2010. The strategic alliance with BetClic was structured as a stock and asset sale to a newly-formed French entity, Everest Gaming, in which we hold a 40 percent stake. Everest Gamings operating history as an
online gambling operator and our operating history as an online games operator may be too short to give you a sufficient basis for evaluating our business and financial performance. It is also difficult to evaluate our prospective business, because
we may not have sufficient experience to address the risks frequently encountered by companies entering new and rapidly evolving markets such as the online gaming and online games market. These risks include our potential failure to:



| |  |  | respond to technological changes or resolve unexpected service interruptions in a timely manner;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adapt to regulatory changes;
| | - |  | ----------------------------



| |  |  | retain existing customers or attract new customers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | license, develop, or acquire additional online games that are appealing to consumers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | anticipate and adapt to changing consumer preferences;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adapt to competitive market conditions;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | adequately and efficiently operate, upgrade and develop our transaction and service platforms; and

| |  |  | maintain adequate control of our expenses.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------

If we are unsuccessful in addressing any of these risks, our business and financial condition will be adversely affected. We may not be able to achieve similar results or growth in future periods.
Accordingly, you should not rely on our results of operations for any prior periods as an indication of our future performance.

We do not control the management of our joint venture with BetClic and have no control over its day-to-day business operations and any
significant difficulties encountered by the joint venture in its operations may have a material and adverse effect on our business and financial results

On April 8, 2010, we completed the sale of a 60 percent interest in our online gaming software business to BetClic, a leading European sports betting and online gaming group. The strategic alliance
with BetClic was structured as a stock and asset sale to a newly-formed French entity, Everest Gaming, in which we received a 40 percent stake. Concurrent with the transaction, we purchased the shares of UIM, our then-major licensee which provided
online gaming services, and sold all of UIMs material assets (including the Everest Poker operations) to Everest Gaming.

We hold the remaining 40 percent of Everest Gaming with a put option to sell all or part of our shares to BetClic. The put option is
exercisable in 2013, 2014 and 2015. BetClic holds a call option on any remaining Everest Gaming interests held by us which it may exercise in 2015 and 2016. For both our put option and BetClics call option, the price paid will be determined
based upon the fair market value of Everest Gaming as of December 31 of the prior year, as determined by mutual agreement between the parties or, failing that, an appraisal process.

While BetClic will generally control the day-to-day operations of Everest Gaming, so long as we hold at least 20 percent of Everest
Gamings share capital, we will have approval rights over certain material actions of Everest Gaming, including certain issuances of securities of Everest Gaming, acquisitions and dispositions of certain assets and material changes to the
principal business of Everest Gaming. In addition, so long as we hold at least 10 percent of Everest Gamings share capital, we will have representation on the board of directors of Everest Gaming. We do not control Everest Gamings
management and hence have no control over its day-to-day business operations. Our rights under the earn-out and the put or call option are of uncertain value. We may have disputes with BetClic regarding the operations of Everest Gaming or the
calculation of the earn-out or put or call option payments.

Our remaining 40 percent ownership in Everest Gaming which we
account for under the equity method, generated equity losses of approximately US$9.8 million and US$49.7 million for the period from April to December 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2011, respectively. We cannot assure you that our
strategic alliance with BetClic through such joint venture structure will be commercially successful. Any significant difficulties encountered by Everest Gaming in its operations or significant deviation from the terms of the agreement with BetClic,
may have a material and adverse effect on our business and financial results.

The uncertain global legal and regulatory
environment could have a negative impact on the Everest Gaming business and prospects

Everest Gaming primarily targets
non-U.S. markets, predominantly the Continental European markets. Several European countries have adopted a regulated online gaming approach. For example, Italy has recently introduced a new set of regulations on online gaming. Italy, while
initially a poker-only jurisdiction, has set forth a regulatory regime for casino. Everest Gaming has not pursued a license in Italy, and has ceased all Italian-facing operations. The French issued a license to Everest Gaming for online poker in
June 2010. Online casino is widely seen as being prohibited under French law and Everest Gaming has stopped offering online casino gaming to people in France. Spain has promulgated a regulatory framework on online gaming. The Spanish government has
delayed implementation of the online gaming regulations and the issuance of licenses. It is expected that the Spanish regulations will be implemented and take effect in the second half of 2012. Other jurisdictions in which Everest Gaming operates
may require local licensing in the future. There can be no assurance that Everest Gaming will be successful in its efforts to obtain a gaming license from these jurisdictions, and that Everest Gaming would not face the potential loss of users in
these jurisdictions. In addition, many European countries, including the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany, have taken actions or introduced legislation aimed at banning foreign online gaming operators, which could have a material adverse effect on
Everest Gaming and consequently on our Company.

The global legal and regulatory environment in which Internet gaming
businesses operate remains highly uncertain and is subject to change. While many jurisdictions have some form of legal framework applicable to games of chance and land-based casinos, few provide clear guidance on how this framework applies to
Internet gaming. In addition, the very nature of Internet gaming creates new and unique forms of entertainment that were neither contemplated nor feasible in the past. There can be no assurance that legislation prohibiting Internet gaming or
regulating various aspects of Internet gaming industry will not be proposed and passed in potentially relevant jurisdictions. We cannot ensure that Everest Gaming, as an online gaming operator, is in compliance with all laws and regulations of the
jurisdictions in which it operates, or that changes in such laws and regulations, or in their interpretation, will not adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Item 4, Information on the Company  B. Business Overview  Regulation in this annual report.

The Everest Gaming business faces intense competition, which may adversely affect our financial results

We are exposed to competition among Everest Gaming and other game operators in the online gaming industry. Everest Gaming faces intense
competition in the online gaming industry, which is characterized by low barriers to entry, rapid technological change and ever-changing consumer preferences. New entrants to the online gaming industry, increasingly competitive market consolidations
and aggressive marketing and pricing by competitors may lead to a significant decline in the customer base, revenues and margins of Everest Gaming. In addition, the online gaming industry is influenced by various other factors, including changes in
policies and regulations and economic conditions in different jurisdictions. For example, many European countries such as Spain and Germany, where there are state-owned gaming monopolies, have taken actions or introduced legislation aimed at ring
fencing the liquidity of online poker players by allowing players to play within their borders only. This decrease in liquidity will have an adverse effect on the Everest Gaming poker business. Furthermore, some of Everest Gamings
competitors have greater experiences, resources and distribution capabilities. For additional information, see Item 4, Information on the Company  B. Business Overview  Gaming Software and Service Business 
Competition in this annual report.

The Everest Gaming business is incurring losses and may not be able to obtain
financing from third parties on attractive terms or at all. We may or may not provide additional financing, and we may lose our return on our investment in Everest Gaming business

In 2010 and 2011, Everest Gaming recorded an operating loss of US$24.2 million and US$111.1 million, respectively. Everest Gaming has
been incurring losses and may not be able to obtain financing from third parties on attractive terms or at all. Everest Gaming may have insufficient resources to cover its operating expenses in 2012. We and BetClic have provided a certain amount of
shareholder loans to Everest Gaming in proportion to our respective shareholding percentage in 2011. However, none of us or BetClic is obligated to provide any additional financing pursuant to the shareholders agreement or under the French law. We
cannot assure you that we will continue providing additional financing to meet Everest Gamings working capital needs, and we may lose our return on our investment in the Everest Gaming business which will adversely affect our business and
results of operations.

The Everest Gaming business will be materially and adversely affected if credit card companies and
other financial institutions cease to accept online gaming transactions

A substantial portion of Everest Gamings
proceeds from its online gaming operations is from the deposits or payments made by its customers through credit card transactions. Financial institutions in the United States have ceased to accept online gaming transactions after the enactment of
the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), which prohibits the use of communication facilities and financial transactions in connection with Internet gambling. For additional information, see Item 4, The
Information on The Company  B. Business Overview  Regulation in this annual report. Although Everest Gaming primarily targets non-U.S. markets, predominantly in Continental European markets, there can be no assurance that credit
card companies or other financial institutions in the jurisdictions where Everest Gaming operates will continue to accept and process online gaming transactions. Furthermore, there is a higher incidence of fraud associated with online credit card
payments than with other types of payments, which could further discourage issuing banks from processing online gaming transactions. If credit card companies or other financial institutions cease to accept online gaming transactions, either
generally or in the jurisdictions where Everest Gaming operates, Everest Gamings revenues and, in turn, its gaming software and service business could be materially and adversely affected.

The Everest Gaming business is international and therefore faces associated risks

There are certain difficulties and inherent risks faced by our Company and Everest Gaming, our joint venture with BetClic, in doing
business internationally, including the burden of complying with multiple and conflicting regulatory requirements, foreign exchange controls, potential restrictions or tariffs on gaming activities that may be imposed, potentially adverse tax
consequences and tax risks. Changes in the political and economic stability, regulatory and taxation structures, and the interpretation thereof, in jurisdictions in which we or Everest Gaming operate, and in which our or Everest Gamings
customers are located could have a material adverse effect on our business, revenues, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Doing Business in Greater China

PRC laws and regulations restrict foreign ownership and investment in the online game industry, and substantial uncertainties exist
with respect to the application and implementation of PRC laws and regulations

We are classified as a foreign enterprise
under PRC laws and various regulations in the PRC currently restrict foreign or foreign-owned enterprises from holding certain licenses required to provide and operate online games over the Internet in the PRC, including Internet content provider
license (ICP license), Internet culture operation license and Internet publishing license. In order to comply with foreign ownership restrictions, we operate our Asian online game and service business in the PRC through our variable
interest entity (VIE), Shanghai JIDI. Shanghai JIDI was established in December, 2010 and is effectively controlled by us through a series of contractual arrangements and we are therefore the primary beneficiary of Shanghai JIDI.
Shanghai JIDI holds an ICP license, an Internet cultural operation license and an Internet publishing license. The financial results of Shanghai JIDI have been included in our consolidated financial statements since January 2011. For additional
information, see Item 4, Information on the Company  B. Business Overview  Regulation  Regulations Relating to Online Games in the PRC  Foreign Ownership Restrictions and Item 4, Information on the
Company  C. Organizational Structure in this annual report.

As part of contractual arrangements, each of the
shareholders of Shanghai JIDI has pledged all of their respective equity interests in Shanghai JIDI as security for the full performance of their respective obligations under all of their agreements with JIDI. According to the PRC Property Rights
Law, a pledge over the equity interests of a limited liability company is created only when such equity pledge agreements are registered with the relevant local branch of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (the SAIC).
Shanghai JIDI has successfully registered the equity pledge agreements with the relevant local branch of the SAIC. We believe that we will be able to enforce these pledges in the PRC courts since these equity pledge agreements have been properly
registered.

In July 2006, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (the MIIT, formerly the Ministry of
Information Industry) issued a notice, which prohibits holders of ICP licenses and holders of value-added telecommunications business operation licenses from leasing, transferring or selling a telecommunications business operating license to any
foreign investors in any form, or providing any resource, sites or facilities to any foreign investors for their illegal operation of telecommunications business in the PRC. The notice also requires that ICP license holders and their shareholders
directly own the domain names and trademarks used by such ICP license holders in their daily operations. The notice further requires each ICP license holder to have the necessary facilities for its approved business operations and to maintain such
facilities in the regions covered by its license. In addition, all value-added telecommunication service providers are required to maintain network and information security in accordance with the standards set forth under relevant PRC regulations.
Local authorities in the various regions were required to ensure that existing ICP license holders conducted self-assessments of their compliance with the notice and submitted their status reports to the MIIT prior to November 1, 2006. Shanghai
JIDI has conducted their self-assessments and believes that they are in compliance with the requirements of the notice. Shanghai JIDI has obtained the ICP licenses required for online games operation in the PRC.

On September 28, 2009, the PRC General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP), National Copyright
Administration, and National Office of Combating Pornography and Illegal Publications jointly published a notice, which, among others, (i) provides that GAPP is responsible for pre-examination and approval of Internet games as authorized by the
central government and State Council, and that the provision of Internet games either online or on a downloaded basis constitutes Internet game publishing, which is subject to pre-examination and approval by GAPP; and (ii) prohibits foreign
investors from participating in Internet game operating businesses via wholly owned, equity joint venture or cooperative joint venture investments in the PRC, and from controlling and participating in such businesses directly or indirectly through
contractual or technical support arrangements. If applied literally and uniformly, such notice would render our ownership structure in the PRC invalid and illegal. To date, however, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation
and application of such notice.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current
or future PRC laws and regulations. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that PRC government authorities will ultimately take a view that is consistent with our view. If we or any of our PRC operating companies are found to be in violation of any
existing or future PRC laws or regulations, the relevant government authorities would have broad discretion in dealing with such violations and could impose significant penalties and sanctions or other regulatory or enforcement actions, including
levying fines, confiscating income, revoking business or operating licenses, requiring us to restructure our ownership structure, and requiring us to discontinue all or any part of our business operations. Any of these actions could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The contractual arrangements with Shanghai JIDI and its shareholders may not be as
effective in providing operational control as direct ownership and the shareholders of Shanghai JIDI may have potential conflicts of interest with us

We operate our Asian online game and service business in the PRC through our VIE, Shanghai JIDI. We have no ownership interest in Shanghai JIDI and rely on a series of contractual arrangements that are
intended to give us effective control over Shanghai JIDI. However, the contractual arrangements may not be as effective as compared to having direct ownership and control over this company. Direct ownership would allow us, for example, to directly
exercise our rights as a shareholder to effect changes in the board of directors, which, in turn, could affect changes, at the management level. In addition, Shanghai JIDI could violate its contractual arrangements with us, go bankrupt, suffer from
problems in their businesses or otherwise become unable to perform their contracts with us. As a result, our business could be disrupted and our results of operations may be adversely affected.

The shareholders of Shanghai JIDI have no substantial shareholdings in our Company. Thus, their interests as shareholders of Shanghai
JIDI and their duties to our Company may conflict. Although we have taken a series of remedial and protective measures to strengthen our effective control over Shanghai JIDI, we cannot assure you that when conflicts of interest arise, these persons
will act completely in our interests or that conflicts of interests will be resolved in our favor. Any legal proceeding could result in the disruption of our business, diversion of our resources and the incurring of substantial costs.

All of these contractual arrangements are governed by PRC laws and provide for the resolution of disputes through either arbitration or
litigation in the PRC. Accordingly, the underlying contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC laws and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. The legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in
other jurisdictions, such as the United States. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit our ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. In the event we are unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, we may be
unable to exert effective control over our PRC operating VIE, and our ability to conduct our business may be negatively affected. See Item 4, Information on the Company  C. Organizational Structure in this annual report.

Starting from June 2007 to December 2011, we operated our Asian online game and service business in the PRC primarily through
T2 Entertainment, T2 Advertisement and Jinyou, all of which were our VIEs. From July 1, 2010, we lost effective control over those three VIEs due to the dispute with Wang Ji, the former shareholder of T2 Entertainment. We had been pursuing all
means to regain effective control, including but not limited to the filing of lawsuits against Wang Ji in the courts of the PRC, Hong Kong, Singapore and the British Virgin Islands, and had incurred a significant amount of legal fees. In December
2011, we sold all of our ownership interest in T2CN (including our interest in all of the T2CN Operating Entities) and entered into a settlement agreement to resolve all of our civil litigation related to T2CN and the T2CN Operating Entities. See
Item 8, Financial Information  A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information  Information on Legal or Arbitration Proceedings  Dispute with the former head of our Asian online game and service business in
the PRC and former Chief Executive Officer of T2CN in this annual report.

There is no assurance that similar issues
will not arise in connection with the business operations of Shanghai JIDI, our newly established VIE in the PRC. In the event that Shanghai JIDI violates its contractual arrangements with us, becomes bankrupt, suffers from problems in its
businesses or otherwise becomes unable to perform its contracts with us or any legal procedures initiated due to any dispute with the shareholders of Shanghai JIDI, our business could be disrupted and our results of operations may be adversely
affected.

The laws and regulations governing the online games industry in the PRC are evolving and new regulations may
adversely affect our business

Our provision of online games and online game-related content on our websites in China is
subject to various PRC laws and regulations relating to the telecommunications industry and Internet and online games, and is regulated by various government and regulatory authorities. The principal PRC regulations governing the provision of
Internet content and online gaming services include (among others) the Telecommunications Regulations (2000), the Administrative Rules for Foreign Investments in Telecommunications Enterprises (2001), the Tentative Measures for the Administration of
Internet Publications (2002), the Opinions on the Development and Management of Online Games (2005), the Anti-Internet Addiction Regulations (2007), the Administrative Measures for Telecommunications Business Operating Licenses (2009), and the
Tentative Measures for Online Games Administration (2010) and the Tentative Measures for Administration of Internet Culture (2011). We may be affected by these regulations, which seek to regulate the content of online games and the business
operation of online game operators and discourage online game players from spending excessive amounts of time playing online games. This may reduce the number of our users, the growth rate of our user base, the general online games market in the PRC
or the average number of hours played by online game players, or cause us to reduce usage fees or other charges in connection with our Asian online game and service business. In addition, compliance with such regulations may require us to incur
substantial costs in modifying or adapting our game software to comply with the regulatory requirements. This may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The adoption of new laws or regulations in the PRC relating to the Internet, or particular
applications or interpretations of existing laws, could decrease the growth in the use of the Internet, decrease the demand for our products and services, increase the cost of conducting our business or could otherwise have a material adverse effect
on our business, revenues, results of operations and financial condition.

New PRC laws and regulations that address issues
such as user privacy, pricing, online content, taxation, advertising, intellectual property, information security, and the characteristics and quality of online products and services may be enacted. For example, in order to counter Internet
addiction, in April 2007, eight PRC government authorities issued regulations to discourage online game-players who are minors from spending excessive amounts of time playing online games. Pursuant to these regulations, Internet game operators have
been ordered to install anti-addiction software features on games offered in the PRC, which will, among other features, limit the number of points and other benefits which can be awarded to game players after they have been online in excess of
specified periods of time. Internet game operators will also be required to adopt real-name registration, which will require online game players to register their real identity information before they will be allowed to play online games. See
Item 4, Information on the Company  B. Business Overview  Regulation in this annual report.

There are currently no clear laws or regulations governing virtual asset property rights, in particular, in Greater China, and
therefore, it is not clear what liabilities, if any, online game operators may have in respect of virtual assets

In the
course of playing online games, some virtual assets, such as special equipment, player experience grades and other features of our users game characters, are acquired and accumulated. Such virtual assets can be important to online game
players. In practice, virtual assets can be lost for various reasons, often through unauthorized use of user identifications by other users and occasionally through data loss caused by delay of network service or by a network crash. Currently there
are no clear laws or regulations governing virtual asset property rights, in particular, in Greater China where we operate our Asian online game and service business. As a result, it is unclear under PRC law whether an operator of online games such
as us would have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) for loss of such virtual assets by game players. Based on several judgments regarding the liabilities of online game operators for loss of virtual assets by game players, the
PRC courts have generally required online game operators to provide well-developed security systems to protect such virtual assets owned by game players. In the case of a loss of virtual assets, we may be sued by online game players and could be
held liable for damages, which may negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Restrictions on virtual currency may adversely affect our revenues from online game operations in the PRC

Our online game operations revenues in the PRC are primarily collected through the sale of our prepaid game cards or online sale of game
points. On February 15, 2007, 14 PRC government authorities jointly issued the Circular for Further Strengthening the Administration of Internet Café and Online Games, which directs the Peoples Bank of China (PBOC) to
strengthen the administration of virtual currency in online games to avoid any adverse impact on the PRC economy and financial system. This circular provides that the total amount of virtual currency issued by online game operators and the amount
purchased by individual game players should be strictly limited, with a strict and clear division between virtual transactions and real transactions carried out by way of electronic commerce. This notice also provides that virtual currency should
only be used to purchase virtual items. On June 4, 2009, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued the Circular on Strengthening the Administration of Virtual Currency in Online Games. According to this circular, any
PRC entities engaging in issuance or trade service of virtual currency in online games shall meet the requirements of Commercial Online Cultural Entities as prescribed in the Tentative Measures for Administration of Internet Culture
(first issued in 2003 and revised in 2011) and are required to apply to the Ministry of Culture for an approval. This circular further provides, among others, that (i) the form, issuance scope and unit purchase price of virtual currency, the
refund method in case of termination of online games, the purchase method for the users (including cash, bank card, payment via Internet, etc.), the protection measures for users rights and interests, and the technology security safeguard
measures, shall be filed with the Ministry of Culture for record; (ii) the unit purchase price of virtual currency shall not be changed by online games operators; (iii) the new type of virtual currency shall be filed with the Ministry of
Culture for record before issuance by online games operators; and (iv) the virtual currency trade service shall not be open to the minors. On June 3, 2010, the MOC issued the Tentative Measures for Online Games Administration (the
Tentative Measures), which will take effect as of August 1, 2010. The Tentative Measures provisions with respect to virtual currency substantially reiterate current law, although they also impose a prohibition on trading
services for unapproved or unfiled online games. Virtual Currency for Online Games was defined as a virtual exchange tool represented by special numerical units, issued by online game operators and deposited by magnetic recording in a
server outside online games and should be directly or indirectly purchased at certain rates by game players with legal tender. Providing virtual currency trading services to minors is prohibited. Virtual currency can only be used for online game
products and services and shall not be used to purchase other goods and service. Furthermore, all users purchase records shall be retained for at least 180 days. The Shanghai Online Game Industry Service Standards, the PRC online game
industrys first local standards, were released on January 31, 2012 and took effect from March 1, 2012. The standards prohibit online game operators from providing virtual currency transactions to minors. These restrictions may result
in lower sales of our prepaid game cards or game points, and could have an adverse effect on our game operations revenues.

Our business may be adversely affected by government policies and regulation of Internet
cafés in the PRC

Internet cafés are one of the primary venues where our online games were distributed and
played in the PRC. In April 2001, the PRC government began tightening its regulation and supervision of Internet cafés. In particular, a large number of Internet cafés without requisite government licenses have been closed. In
addition, the PRC government has imposed higher capital and facility requirements for the establishment of Internet cafés. The PRC governments policy, which encourages the development of a limited number of national and regional
Internet café chains and discourages the establishment of independent Internet cafés, may also slow down the growth in the number of new Internet cafés. In February 2007, 14 PRC government authorities jointly issued a notice,
which suspended approval for the establishment of new Internet cafés and called for strengthened regulation of existing Internet cafés. It is unclear when or if this suspension will be lifted. The PRC governmental authorities may from
time to time impose stricter requirements, such as the customers age limit and hours of operation, among others, as a result of the occurrence and perception of, and the media attention on, gang fights, arson and other incidents in or related
to Internet cafés. The implementation of these measures, or enactment by the PRC government of any additional laws to further regulate Internet cafés, may result in fewer customers or less time spent by customers playing our online
games, which could restrict our ability to maintain or increase our revenues and expand our customer base. See Item 4, Information on the Company  B. Business Overview  Regulation  Internet Café Regulation
in this annual report.

Changes in foreign exchange and foreign investment regulations and limitations on dividend payment
in the PRC may affect our ability to invest in China and the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends and service debts

Renminbi is not a freely convertible currency at present. The PRC government regulates conversion between Renminbi and foreign currencies. Changes in PRC laws and regulations on foreign exchange may
result in uncertainties in our financing and operating plans in China. Over the years, China has significantly reduced the governments control over routine foreign exchange transactions under current accounts, including trade and service
related foreign exchange transactions, payment of dividends and service of foreign debts. In accordance with the existing foreign exchange regulations in China, our PRC subsidiaries may, within the scope of current account transactions, pay
dividends and service debts in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, there can be no assurance that the current PRC
foreign exchange policies with respect to debt service and payment of dividends in foreign currencies will continue in the future. Changes in PRC foreign exchange policies may have a negative impact on our ability to service our foreign
currency-denominated indebtedness and to distribute dividends to our shareholders in foreign currencies since our subsidiaries in China need to convert their Renminbi cash flow to service such foreign debt and to make such dividend payments.

Foreign exchange transactions by our PRC subsidiaries under the capital account continue to be subject to significant foreign
exchange controls. In particular, foreign exchange transactions involving foreign direct investment, foreign debts and outbound investment in securities and derivatives are subject to limitations and require approvals from the relevant SAFE
authorities. We have the choice, as permitted by the PRC foreign investment regulations, to invest in the form of registered capital or a shareholder loan into our PRC subsidiaries to finance our operations in China. Our choice of investment is
affected by the different treatments under the relevant PRC regulations with respect to capital-account and current-account foreign exchange transactions in China. For example, our transfer of funds to our subsidiaries in China is subject to
approval of PRC governmental authorities in case of an increase in registered capital, or subject to registration with PRC governmental authorities in case of a shareholder loan. These and other limitations on the flow of funds between us and our
PRC subsidiaries could restrict our ability to act in response to changing market conditions and limit our flexibility in the management of our cash flow and financings. See Item 10, Additional Information  D. Exchange
Controls in this annual report.

In addition, recent PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special
purpose companies by PRC residents may subject the PRC resident shareholders of our PRC subsidiaries or us to penalties and limit our ability to inject capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our subsidiaries ability to increase their
registered capital, distribute profits to us, or otherwise adversely affect us. Moreover, our PRC subsidiaries are required to set aside a certain percentage of their after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year for their reserve
fund in accordance with the requirements of relevant PRC laws and the relevant provisions in their respective articles of associations. As a result, our PRC subsidiaries may be restricted in their ability to transfer any portion of their net income
to us whether in the form of dividends, loans or advances.

There are economic risks associated with doing business in Taiwan, particularly due to
the tense relationship between Taiwan and the PRC

Our principal executive offices and a significant portion of our assets
are located in Taiwan and a major portion of our revenues of Asian online game and service business are derived from our operations in Taiwan. Taiwan, as part of the Republic of China, has a unique international political status. The PRC asserts
sovereignty over mainland China and Taiwan and does not recognize the legitimacy of the Taiwan government. Relations between Taiwan and the PRC and other factors affecting the political or economic conditions of Taiwan could also affect our Asian
online game and service business.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Shares

The price of our Shares has been volatile historically and may continue to be volatile, which may make it difficult for holders to
resell our Shares when desired or at attractive prices

The trading price of our Shares has been and may continue to be
subject to wide fluctuations. In 2011, the closing prices of our Shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market have ranged from US$0.80 to US$1.60 per share, and the closing price on March 30, 2012 was US$1.33. Our Share price may fluctuate in response to
a number of events and factors. In addition, the financial markets in general, and the market prices for Internet-related companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of such
companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our Shares, regardless of our operating performance.

Our Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and if we fail to meet the standards for continued listing of our Shares on Nasdaq, the Shares could be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market

Our Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Nasdaq Global Market has several quantitative and qualitative
requirements companies must comply with to maintain listing, including a US$1.00 minimum bid price per share. On September 29, 2011, we received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market stating that our Shares failed to maintain a minimum bid price
of US$1.00 over the previous 30 consecutive business days as required by the Listing Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (the Rules). We were provided a grace period of 180 calendar days, or until March 26, 2012, to regain compliance
by maintaining a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. If at any time before March 26, 2012, the bid price of our Shares were to closes at US$1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten
consecutive business days, Nasdaq would notify us that we had regained compliance with the Rules.

On February 9, 2012,
we received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market stating that the Nasdaq staff had determined that for the last 10 consecutive business days, from January 26, 2012 to February 8, 2012, the closing bid price of our Shares had been at US$1.00
per share or greater. Accordingly, we regained compliance with the Rules.

Had we not regained compliance with the Rules by
March 26, 2012, we might have be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period if we had submitted, no later than the expiration date, an application to transfer our securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market. We would have been
required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the bid price requirement. The Nasdaq staff would have made a determination as to whether they
believe we could cure the deficiency. Had the staff concluded that we were not be able to cure the deficiency, or had we determined not to submit a transfer application, the staff would have provided notice that our securities would be subject to
delisting. We could have appealed such delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

There can be no assurance that we will
continue to meet all of the requirements for continued Nasdaq listing. If we fail to comply with the minimum bid price requirement, our Shares could be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market or Nasdaq Capital Market, which could have a material
adverse effect on our stock prices and our standing with current and future investors.

We are controlled by the Koo family, which has significant influence in determining the
outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, and their interests may conflict with your interests

As of March 31, 2012, a member of the Koo family beneficially owned approximately 21.29 percent of our outstanding Shares. Accordingly, a member of the Koo family has significant influence in
determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets and the power to prevent or cause a change in
control. The interests of such member of the Koo family may differ from or conflict with your interests.

Our transactions
with related parties may not benefit us and may harm our Company

We have entered into several transactions with certain
related parties. We believe that we have conducted our related-party transactions on an arms-length basis and on terms comparable to, or more favorable to us than, similar transactions we would enter into with independent third parties.
However, we cannot assure you that all our future transactions with related parties will be beneficial to us. See Item 7, Major Shareholders and Related-Party Transactions in this annual report.

Our Asian online game and service business in the PRC relies on revenues transferred from our PRC VIE to us pursuant to contractual
arrangements. Any restriction on such payments for revenue transfer and any increase in the amount of PRC taxes applicable to such payments may materially and adversely affect our business and our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders

JIDI, our wholly owned subsidiary in the PRC, entered into a consulting services agreement with Shanghai JIDI, our PRC
VIE, under which JIDI provides certain technical consulting services to Shanghai JIDI in exchange for substantially all of Shanghai JIDIs net income. However, depending on the nature of services provided, certain of these payments are subject
to PRC taxes at different rates, including business taxes and VATs, which would effectively reduce the amount that JIDI will receive from Shanghai JIDI. We cannot assure you that the PRC government will not impose restrictions on such payments or
change the tax rates applicable to such payments. Any such restrictions on such payment or increases in the applicable tax rates may materially and adversely affect our ability to receive payments from Shanghai JIDI, and may in turn adversely affect
our business, our net income and our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.

The ability of our subsidiaries in
Taiwan to distribute dividends to us may be subject to restrictions under the laws of Taiwan

We are a holding company,
and some of our assets constitute our ownership interests in our subsidiaries in Taiwan, including Hoshin GigaMedia, which owns the Taiwan-based operations of our Asian online game and service business. Accordingly, part of our primary internal
source of funds to meet our cash needs is our share of the dividends, if any, paid by our subsidiaries, including those in Taiwan. The distribution of dividends to us from these subsidiaries in Taiwan is subject to restrictions imposed by the
applicable corporate and tax regulations in these countries, which are more fully described in Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects  B. Liquidity and Capital Resources  Dividends from Our Subsidiaries in
this annual report. In addition, although there are currently no foreign exchange control regulations which restrict the ability of our subsidiaries in Taiwan to distribute dividends to us, the relevant regulations may be changed and the ability of
these subsidiaries to distribute dividends to us may be restricted in the future.

Anti-takeover provisions under the
Singapore Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) and the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change of control of our Company, which could adversely affect the price of our Shares

The Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers (the Code), issued pursuant to Section 321 of the Singapore
Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) regulates the acquisition of ordinary shares of, inter alia, listed public companies and contains certain provisions that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change of control of our Company. Any
person acquiring an interest, either on his own or together with parties acting in concert with him, in 30 percent or more of the voting shares in our Company must, except with the prior consent of the Singapore Securities Industry Council (the
SIC), extend a takeover offer for the remaining voting shares in our Company in accordance with the provisions of the Code. Likewise, any person holding between 30 percent and 50 percent of the voting shares in our Company, either on his
own or together with parties acting in concert with him, must, except with the prior consent of the SIC, make a takeover offer in accordance with the provisions of the Code if that person together with parties acting in concert with him acquires
additional voting shares in excess of one percent of the total number of voting shares in any six-month period.

##### Table of Contents

Under the Code, an offeror must treat all shareholders of the same class in an offeree
company equally. A fundamental requirement is that shareholders in the company subject to the takeover offer must be given sufficient information, advice and time to consider and decide on the offer.

These provisions contained in the Code may discourage or prevent transactions that involve an actual or threatened change of control of
our Company. This may harm you because an acquisition bid may allow you to sell your Shares at a price above the prevailing market price.

Our shareholders may be subject to Singapore taxes

Singapore tax law may differ from the tax laws of other jurisdictions, including the United States. Gains from the sale of our Shares by a person not tax resident in Singapore may be taxable in Singapore
if such gains are part of the profits of any business carried on in Singapore. For additional information, see Item 10, Additional Information  E. Taxation  Singapore Tax Consideration in this annual report. You should
consult your tax advisors concerning the overall tax consequences of acquiring, owning or selling the Shares.

We are a
Singapore company, and because the rights of shareholders under Singapore law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have difficulty in protecting your shareholder rights or enforcing any judgment obtained in the U.S. against us or our affiliates

Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association and by the applicable laws governing
corporations incorporated in Singapore. The rights of our shareholders and the responsibilities of members of our board of directors under Singapore law are different from those applicable to a corporation incorporated in the United States and,
therefore, our shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests in connection with actions by the management, members of our board of directors or our controlling shareholders than they would as shareholders of a corporation
incorporated in the United States.

Our Company is incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Singapore. Many of our
directors and senior management reside outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or any of these persons or to enforce in the United States any judgment
obtained in the U.S. courts against us or any of these persons, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or any state or territory of the United States. Judgments of the U.S. courts based upon
the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws may not be enforceable in Singapore courts, and it is unclear whether Singapore courts will enter judgments in original actions brought in Singapore courts based solely upon the
civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws.

We may be deemed to be an investment company under the
United States Investment Company Act of 1940, which could have a significant negative impact on our results of operations

We may be deemed to be an investment company under the United States Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act), and may
suffer adverse consequences as a result. Generally, the 1940 Act provides that a company is an investment company if the company (i) is, holds itself out as or proposes to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or
trading in securities or (ii) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of
the value of its total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities or cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Under the 1940 Act, investment securities include, among other things, securities of non-majority owned businesses. However, a company
that is primarily engaged, directly or through wholly-owned subsidiaries, in a business or businesses other than that of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities is not an investment company.

Following the completion of our restructuring efforts in September 2008, we have devoted our efforts and resources to gaming software
products and application services and operating online games businesses primarily through CESL, our wholly-owned subsidiary. From time to time, we also make strategic non-controlling investments in entities that we believe, at the time of such
investments, complement or enhance our business (Strategic Investments). These Strategic Investments may be deemed to be investment securities under the 1940 Act. In April 2010, we consummated the sale of a 60 percent interest in our
gaming software business to BetClic, a leading European sports betting and online gaming group, for US$100 million in cash and the right to a possible earnout payment based on the future performance of the business. As part of the transaction, we
purchased the shares of UIM, our then-major licensee which provided online gaming services, and sold all of UIMs material assets to Everest Gaming. We and BetClic also hold, respectively, put and call options on our 40 percent interest in the
gaming software and service business exercisable at fair market value at various dates over the next several years. As a result of the transaction with BetClic, we no longer have majority control of the gaming software and service business and
continue to have a significant amount of cash on hand. See Item 4, Information on the Company  B. Business Overview  Gaming Software and Service Business for additional information. Consequently, there is a risk that we
could be deemed to be an investment company because our investment securities may be deemed to comprise more than 40% of our total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities or cash items) on an unconsolidated basis pending investment of the
proceeds of the sale into our remaining businesses.

However, based on our historical and current business activities, our intentions, the manner
in which we hold ourselves out to the public, the primary activities of our officers and directors and an analysis of our non-cash assets and income during 2011, the first quarter of 2012 and in prior periods, we believe that the better view is that
we are not an investment company. Nevertheless, a part of the determination of whether we are an investment company is based upon the composition and value of our non-cash assets, a significant portion of which are presently comprised of our
Strategic Investments. As a result, we could be deemed to be an investment company.

We intend to continue to conduct our
businesses and operations so as to avoid being required to register as an investment company. Since the completion of the transaction with BetClic, we have sought opportunities to deploy our capital in a manner which would result in the Company
acquiring majority interests in entities or businesses that complement or enhance our remaining businesses or would otherwise assist the Company in achieving our current corporate objectives. We have also limited, and intend to continue to limit,
new Strategic Investments to those opportunities which would present excellent opportunities to complement or enhance our remaining businesses or would otherwise assist the Company in achieving our current corporate objectives. If, nevertheless, we
were to be required to register as an investment company, because we are a foreign company, the 1940 Act would prohibit us and any person deemed to be an underwriter of our securities from offering for sale, selling or delivering after sale, in
connection with a public offering, any security issued by the Company in the United States. Additionally, we may be unable to continue operating as we currently do and might need to acquire or sell assets that we would not otherwise acquire or sell
in order to avoid being treated as an investment company as defined under the 1940 Act. We may incur significant costs and management time in this regard, which could have a significant negative impact on our results of operations.

We may be classified as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, you may be
subject to materially adverse tax consequences with respect to Shares

In light of our significant cash balances and
portfolio of investment securities, we believe that it is likely that we were classified as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for the taxable year ended December 31, 2011, and we will likely be a PFIC for our current taxable year
ending December 31, 2012, unless our share value increases and/or we invest a substantial amount of the cash and other passive assets we hold in assets that produce or are held for the production of non-passive income. A non-United States
corporation, such as us, will be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year in which 75 percent or more if its gross income consists of passive income or 50 percent or more of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values during
such taxable year) are classified as passive assets. For this purpose, cash and other liquid assets are generally classified as passive and goodwill and other unbooked intangibles associated with active business activities may generally be
classified as non-passive.

If we were to be classified as a PFIC in any taxable year, a U.S. person (as defined in E.
Taxation  U.S. Tax Considerations  Passive Foreign Investment Company) would be subject to special rules generally intended to reduce or eliminate any benefits from the deferral of United States federal income tax that a U.S.
person could derive from investing in a non-United States corporation that does not distribute all of its earnings on a current basis. Further, if we are classified as a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. person holds our Shares, we generally
will continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which such U.S. person holds our Shares. For more information, see the section entitled E. Taxation  U.S. Tax Considerations  Passive Foreign Investment
Company.

Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies in which we conduct our
business could adversely affect our profitability

The operations of our Asian online game and service business are
conducted in NT dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Renminbi and Singapore dollars. Accordingly, fluctuations in the exchange rates could have a positive or negative effect on our reported results. Generally, an appreciation of NT dollars, Hong Kong
dollars, Renminbi or Singapore dollars against U.S. dollars results in a foreign exchange loss for monetary assets denominated in U.S. dollars, and a foreign exchange gain for monetary liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars. On the contrary, a
devaluation of NT dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Renminbi or Singapore dollars against U.S. dollars results in a foreign exchange gain for monetary assets denominated in U.S. dollars, and a foreign exchange loss for monetary liabilities denominated in
U.S. dollars. Given the constantly changing currency exposures and the substantial volatility of currency exchange rates, we cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations upon future operating results. There can be no assurance that we
will not experience currency losses in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, revenues, results of operations and financial condition.

and Development of Our Company

Our legal and commercial name is GigaMedia Limited. We trace our origin back to the
incorporation of Hoshin GigaMedia in Taiwan in October 1998. For the purpose of a public equity offering, we were incorporated in Singapore in September 1999 as a company limited by shares. We acquired 99.99 percent of equity interest in Hoshin
GigaMedia in November 1999 and the remaining 0.01 percent in October 2002.

In February 2000, we completed the initial public
offering of our Shares. Our Shares are traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol GIGM.

Prior to September 2002, we
primarily provided broadband Internet access and services in Taiwan through Hoshin GigaMedia. In September 2002, we acquired Rose Records (formerly known as Point Records Co., Ltd.) and Tachung Records (formerly known as Music King Co., Ltd.), two
of the largest music store chains in Taiwan. Subsequent to these two acquisitions, we commenced the recorded music distribution business.

In 2004, we began the restructuring of our principal business operations with a view to shifting our strategic focus to the gaming software and service business and the Asian online game and service
business. The following chart highlights some of the major historical developments of our Company from January 2004 to April 2012:

|September 2005 |  | We sold all of our ownership interest in the Rose Records and Tachung Records music store chains with a view to eliminating non-core operations.

|January 2006   |  | We acquired FunTown, an Asian online game and service business operated in Taiwan and Hong Kong, to enhance our position in the online entertainment market.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|               | 
|May 2006       |  | We disposed of our ADSL business, which was an operational line of our Internet access and services business.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
|               | 
|December 2006  |  | We acquired preferred shares in IAHGames, an online game operator, publisher and distributor in Southeast Asia, which were convertible into a 32.26 percent ordinary share interest
in IAHGames. In 2007, due to IAHGames issuance of new preferred shares to third parties, the Companys ownership percentage in IAHGames common equity on an as converted basis was reduced to 28.43 percent. In July 2010, we increased
our ownership percentage in IAHGames to 80 percent by the acquisition of certain preferred shares from existing shareholders and the subscription for new preferred shares.                                   
|               | 
|June 2007      |  | We completed the acquisition of the controlling interest in T2CN, one of the online casual game operators in the PRC. On August 8 and August 12, 2009, we acquired certain ordinary
shares of T2CN from two existing shareholders respectively. On December 14, 2011, we sold all of our ownership interest in T2CN (including our interest in all of the T2CN Operating Entities) and settled all civil litigation related to T2CN and the
T2CN Operating Entities.                                                                                                                                                                        
|               | 
|September 2008 |  | We sold our last remaining non-core business, our consumer cable modem and corporate ISP business, to China Network Systems Co., Ltd. and its affiliates. The disposal effectively
completed our business restructuring process which we began in 2004. For additional information, see Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects  Certain Significant Events affecting Our Results of Operations for 2007, 2008 and
2009  Divestiture of our legacy Internet access and service business and Item 10, Additional Information  C. Material Contracts  Sale of Internet Access and Service Business in this annual
report.

|April 2010 |  | We completed the sale of a 60 percent interest in our online gaming software business to BetClic, a leading European sports betting and online gaming group. The strategic alliance
with BetClic was structured as a stock and asset sale to a newly-formed French entity, Everest Gaming, in which we received a 40 percent stake. As part of and as a condition to the completion of the transaction, we purchased the shares of our
then-major licensee, UIM, all of the material assets of which were sold to Everest Gaming as part of the transaction.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|           | 
|April 2010 |  | We entered into several agreements with IAHGames itself and certain shareholders of IAHGames, to acquire additional preferred shares of IAHGames. The acquisition of IAHGames was
completed on July 1, 2010. As a result of the acquisition, we hold preferred shares convertible into 80 percent of common shares of IAHGames. IAHGames is an online game publisher, operator and distributor based in Singapore and operates several
award-winning titles including EA SPORTS FIFA Online 2, Granado Espada and Dragonica. In 2010, IAHGames, through its wholly owned subsidiary Monsoon, entered into various agreements with Blizzard to distribute selected Blizzard
Entertainment® games in Southeast Asia. In September 2011, as part our strategic restructuring and new strategic growth plans, we terminated the distribution partnership with Blizzard by mutual agreement. In January 2012, IAHGames
commitments under the distribution partnership were fully terminated.

Our Singapore company registration number is 199905474H. Our principal executive
offices are located at 10thfloor, 392 Ruiguang Road,
Taipei, Taiwan, and our telephone number is 886-2-2656-8000. Our website address is: http://www.gigamedia.com. Our agent in the U.S. is Computershare Limited and its office address is located at 480 Washington Blvd. Jersey City, the United
States.

Descriptions of our principal capital expenditures and divestitures and descriptions of acquisitions of material
assets are found in our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report. See Item 5, Operating and Financial Review
and Prospects  A. Operating Results  Certain Significant Events Affecting Our Results of Operations for 2009, 2010 and 2011.

There have been no public takeover offers by third parties in respect of our shares or by us in respect of other companies shares which have occurred during the last and current financial year.

B. Business Overview

We are an operator of online games in Greater China including the PRC, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau and Southeast Asia. We were incorporated in Singapore in September 1999. Our principal business
operations remained limited to the provision of Internet access and service business, and recorded music distribution in Taiwan until 2004, when we commenced a business restructuring to shift our strategic focus to the gaming software and service
and online games operations. We began our gaming software and service business in 2004 by acquiring the business of a gaming software provider. In 2006, through a series of strategic acquisitions, we expanded our operations into the online games
market, which we believe has high growth potential. During the restructuring process, we disposed of our non-core businesses, including our retail music distribution and Internet and access service businesses. We completed the entire business
restructuring in September 2008 with the sale of our last non-core business. We continued our business as provider of gaming software and service to the online gaming industry, particularly the online poker and casino markets, until the sale of the
60 percent interest in our gaming software and service business to BetClic on April 8, 2010.

Subsequent to completion of
the restructuring and through April 8, 2010, we generated our revenue primarily through providing gaming software products and application services and operating online games. We operated our gaming software and service through CESL, our
wholly-owned subsidiary. From 2004 through 2010, we were focused on developing software packages for online poker and casino operations. We provided the Everest-branded gaming platform to various online poker and casino game sites, including Everest
Poker, one of the worlds largest online poker websites in terms of seven-day average player counts according to PokerScout, a third-party online poker review service. Our products and services included online poker and casino gaming software
packages, extensive online gaming management tools, and application and consulting services. To improve usability of our products in international markets and serve customers seeking geographic expansion, we developed the expertise and
infrastructure to make our products suitable for the local markets in which the games are offered. Our gaming software products and services, now operated by Everest Gaming, are currently available in 15 major languages. Our gaming software and
service business was historically dependent on our then-largest licensee, UIM. UIM operated various online poker and casino websites, including Everest Poker, primarily targeting players from Continental European markets. Fees earned by us were
historically based on UIMs gross receipts from the operation utilizing the licensed software. The financial results of UIM were historically incorporated into our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification although we did not historically own any equity interest in UIM.

On April 8, 2010, we completed the sale of a 60 percent interest in our online gaming
software business to BetClic, a leading European sports betting and online gaming group. The strategic alliance with BetClic was structured as a stock and asset sale to a newly-formed French entity, Everest Gaming, in which we received a 40 percent
stake. As part of and as a condition to the completion of the transaction, we purchased the shares of our then-major licensee, UIM, all of the material assets (including the Everest Poker operations) of which were sold to Everest Gaming as part of
the transaction. In accordance with the terms of the strategic alliance, Everest Gaming has been seeking to migrate all BetClic poker players to the Everest Poker platform in order to create one of the largest poker player liquidity
platforms in Europe. On June 7, 2010, Everest Gaming received online poker licenses as part of the first grant of licenses in France. In July 2010, BetClic.fr and Everestpoker.fr, sites were approved by ARJEL, the French gaming regulatory
authority for the French online poker market. Since July 2010, all of BetClic French poker players have been able to play on the Everest Poker platform by logging on to the BetClic.fr website and clicking a link. Chips are purchased using
BetClics software and may be transferred for use on the Everest Poker platform. Everest Gaming further increased migration between the Everest Poker and BetClic Poker operations by allowing all of BetClics non-French European poker
players to play on the Everest Poker platform by logging on to the BetClic.com website beginning in late August 2011. The combined user base of Everest Poker and BetClic Poker  both leading brands throughout Europe  strongly positions
the alliance to capture dominant market share within the French market, one of the largest in Europe, and the more broad European international market. From and after April 9, 2010, we no longer consolidate the financial results of the gaming
software and service business in our consolidated financial statements. From that date, we account for our interest in Everest Gaming using the equity method of accounting. As a result, it may be difficult to compare our results of operations in
future periods to our historical results of operations.

We operate an increasingly diversified Asian online game and service
business in Greater China markets. Since July 2007 and through June 2010, we conducted our Asian online game and service business in the PRC primarily through T2CN. Due to the dispute with Wang Ji, the former head of our Asian online game and
service business in the PRC that arose in July 2010, we have been prevented from obtaining and did not have access to the financial information of T2CN. Given we could not exercise control over a majority of T2CNs assets and its financial
reporting process, we deconsolidated T2CNs financial results with effect from July 1, 2010 and completely wrote off our investment and advances to the entities held or controlled by T2CN in the fourth quarter of 2010. In December, 2011,
we sold all of our ownership interest in T2CN (including our interest in all of the T2CN Operating Entities) to Hornfull Limited and entered into a settlement agreement to resolve all of our civil litigation related to T2CN and the T2CN Operating
Entities. See Item 8, Financial Information  A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information  Information on Legal or Arbitration Proceedings  Dispute with the former head of our Asian online game and service
business in the PRC and former Chief Executive Officer of T2CN in this annual report.

We operate our Asian online game
and service business in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau through FunTown, in the PRC through Shanghai JIDI and in Southeast Asia through IAHGames. Our online game portfolio currently includes online MahJong, card, chance-based and simple casual games,
advanced casual games, non-RPG MMOs and MMORPGs. We currently offer seven advanced casual games and non-RPG MMOs, four MMORPGs and over 34 online card, chance-based and simple casual games. We offer online MahJong through our FunTown-branded game
platform, which we believe is one of the largest online MahJong networks in Taiwan. We also launched our MahJong game application which uses a web-based technology with no download required. This simplified user sign-in procedures and enabled
tighter integration with the social networking platform. We acquired a specialized Web-based social games development team in the PRC through Shanghai JIDI and expect to launch the first of our new proprietary social network games in 2012.

We entered into various agreements with Blizzard through Southeast Asia games operator IAHGames, of which we became a
controlling shareholder since July 2010. In connection with the strategic alliance, IAHGames, through its wholly owned subsidiary Monsoon, entered into various agreements with Blizzard to distribute selected Blizzard Entertainment® games in
Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines, include bestselling games from Blizzards Diablo® action-role-playing-game series, Warcraft® and StarCraft® real-time strategy-game series, including StarCraft II: Wings
of Liberty, and World of Warcraft® and its three expansion sets, The Burning Crusade®, Wrath of the Lich King® and Cataclysm. In September 2011, as part our strategic restructuring and new strategic growth plans, we
terminated the distribution partnership with Blizzard by mutual agreement. In January 2012, IAHGames commitments under the distribution partnership were fully terminated. We currently operate several award-winning titles including EA
SPORTS FIFA Online 2, Granado Espada and Dragonica through IAHGames.

We have experienced seasonality primarily as a
result of slower sales of our Asian online game and service business in the second and third quarters, during which people tend to spend less time indoors and online as daylight hours increase and the weather conditions in Greater China and
Southeast Asia improve. Typically, our first and fourth quarters have been our strongest revenue periods.

##### Table of Contents

To complement our online games, we offer various value-added services and virtual items for
players to enhance their game experience, skills and online personal character. We focus on building community-based online platforms to cater to different social networking needs of our users and provide various channels to facilitate
communications among them. We intend to continue to seek growth and enhance our market position in the online games industry. We intend to increase focus on Web-based social games and expect to launch more online games on mobile platforms.

While we have historically experienced significant growth in our operations of gaming software and service and Asian online
game and service business, we experienced a significant downturn in 2009, 2010 and 2011. For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, our revenue from the gaming software and service segment was US$112.7 million, US$25.8 million and
US$0, respectively, and our revenue from the online games segment was US$46.9 million, US$38.9 million and US$34.4 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, our consolidated net income (loss) attributable to
us was US$(49.1) million, US$2.7 million, and US$(71.2) million, respectively.

Asian Online Game and Service Business

Our Operating Entities

FunTown

In January 2006, we acquired FunTown, an online game and service
provider operated in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, to enhance our position in the online entertainment market. We consolidated the financial results of FunTown into our consolidated financial statements since January 1, 2006. Through the
FunTown-branded platform, we develop and offer various local versions of MahJong for players in Asia, particularly for those in Taiwan and Hong Kong. FunTowns game portfolio currently includes MahJong, card, chance-based and simple casual
games, advanced casual games, non-RPG MMOs and MMORPGs.

IAHGames

In December 2006, we acquired voting preferred shares in IAHGames, an online game operator, publisher and distributor in Southeast Asia,
which were convertible into a 32.26 percent ordinary share interest in IAHGames. In 2007, due to IAHGames issuance of new preferred shares to third parties, the Companys ownership percentage in IAHGames common equity on an as
converted basis was reduced to 28.43 percent. In July 2010, we increased our ownership percentage in IAHGames to 80 percent through the acquisition of certain preferred shares and the subscription for new preferred shares. We consolidated the
financial results of IAHGames into our consolidated financial statements since July 1, 2010. We acquired IAHGames in order to enhance our position in the online game market in Southeast Asia and strengthen our online entertainment product
portfolio. See Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects  A. Operating Results  Certain Significant Events Affecting Our Results of Operations for 2009, 2010 and 2011  Acquisition of IAHGames.

IAHGames is an online game publisher, operator and distributor based in Singapore and operates several award-winning titles
including EA SPORTS FIFA Online 2, Granado Espada and Dragonica. IAHGames, through its wholly owned subsidiary Monsoon, entered into various agreements with Blizzard to distribute selected Blizzard Entertainment® games in Southeast Asia.
In September, 2011, as part of our strategic restructuring and new strategic growth plans, we terminated the distribution partnership with Blizzard by mutual agreement. In January, 2012, IAHGames commitments under the distribution partnership
were fully terminated.

JIDI

We established JIDI, a wholly owned subsidiary in the PRC in October 2010. We operate our Asian online game and service business in the PRC through our VIE, Shanghai JIDI, which was established in the PRC
in December, 2010. Shanghai JIDI holds an ICP license, an Internet cultural operation license and an Internet publishing license. Shanghai JIDI is owned by PRC nationals. We effectively control our VIE, Shanghai JIDI, through a series of contractual
arrangements. We consolidated the financial results of Shanghai JIDI into our consolidated financial statements since January 2011. See Item 4, Information on the Company  C. Organizational Structure in this annual report.

We acquired a specialized Web-based social games development team in the PRC through Shanghai JIDI and expect to launch Yao
You Ji, the first of our new proprietary social network games in 2012.

Our Games

We offer an increasingly diversified portfolio of online games, including MahJong, card, chance-based and simple casual games, advanced casual games, non-RPG MMOs and MMORPGs. Our Asian online game and
service business is operated in Taiwan and Hong Kong primarily through FunTown, in the PRC through Shanghai JIDI, and in Southeast Asia through IAHGames.

MahJong

MahJong is a traditional and highly popular Chinese title game,
which is widely played in Taiwan, Hong Kong, the PRC, Japan, South Korea and many other Asian regions. Similar to poker, MahJong involves skill, strategy, calculation, as well as a certain degree of chance.

Through our FunTown-branded platform, we develop and offer various local versions of MahJong for players in Asia, particularly for those
from Taiwan and Hong Kong. To play our online MahJong games, players install the client-end software which can be downloaded free of charge from our game websites. Players can compete with anyone throughout the FunTown network. Our MahJong games are
designed for players of all levels of skill and experience. To accommodate various needs of players, we offer different online MahJong rooms based on skill levels or stakes. We believe our online MahJong game site is one of the largest online
MahJong networks in Taiwan.

Players may play our online MahJong free of charge. To continue to play on a regular basis and
establish a track record inside our online MahJong community, players may choose to purchase game points or game-playing time through various distribution channels, such as convenience stores and computer-based payment processing terminals. By
purchasing our game points, players may exchange for virtual currency and deposit into their virtual bank accounts. The virtual currency may be used to play MahJong and other games in the FunTown game site or to purchase in-game virtual items, but
may not be redeemed for cash.

We continue to expand and diversify the game platforms for our online MahJong. In January 2009,
in cooperation with Microsoft, we launched FunTowns online MahJong on the Xbox 360 game consoles for worldwide release. Since April 2009, in cooperation with Skype Limited, we integrated Skype softwares voice-over-IP functions into our
online MahJong game system, allowing our MahJong game players to add friends from Skype to our game system and use Skypes voice chatting function while playing our online MahJong games.

Our MahJong offering faced strong competition in 2010 from an explosion of online games offered on social network platforms. We responded
by launching our MahJong game application which uses a web-based technology with no download required in January 2011. This simplified user sign-in procedures and enabled tighter integration with social networking platform by allowing users to log
into our game directly via their accounts at the social networking platform. We also launched a single person variation of our MahJong product on the iPad platform and iPhone platform as a way of further broadening our platform reach in 2011. We
expect to commercially launch online MahJong for the iPad platform in 2012.

We organize offline events from time to time with
a view to attract more players and enhance our leading position in the online MahJong market.

Card, Chance-Based and Simple Casual Games

Through our FunTown-branded platform, we offer various online games, including card, chance-based and simple casual games.
These online games are Internet-based and developed through computer simulation and adaptation of non-computer games, which are traditionally played offline. The FunTown platform targets players from different regions, particularly Taiwan and Hong
Kong.

##### Table of Contents

We provide many different online card games, which are popular in various regions in Asia.
Players can select their desired table based on the level of skill or stakes. These games are designed with online multiplayer features that allow players to compete against one another. To diversify FunTown products, we also offer chance-based
games, including bingo, lotto, horse racing, Sic-Bo, slots and various simple casual games. We are working towards expanding the casual games platform by providing a variety of casual games. Since 2009, we introduced World Tour Video Slot, Race
Course Winner, Baccarat, Pirates Pachi Slot, Paradise Island, Red Dog, Roshambo, Pai Gow Poker, Double Double Bonus Poker, Grand Slam MahJong, Four Saint Beast Pachi Slot, Pirates Pachi Slot II, MahJong-Bingo, Big2 Web, 7 Poker and The Exchange of
Future Events into our game contents. These newly added game contents improve the competitiveness of our Asian online game and service business and help to increase our revenues.

Like online MahJong, players may play our FunTown games for free. They may choose to purchase playing time or virtual currency to play on
a continuous and regular basis. Virtual currencies may be used to play all the games in the FunTown game site or to purchase virtual items, but may not be redeemed for cash.

Advanced Casual Games and Non-RPG MMOs

As compared to MMORPGs, advanced
casual games and non-RPG MMOs have relatively simple rules and require no long-term commitment to play. They are targeted to the casual players across all game genres. We operate a diversified portfolio of advanced casual games and non-RPG MMOs. We
believe that advanced casual games and non-RPG MMOs provide us with certain benefits and opportunities not typically available through MMORPGs, including:



| |  |  | broader range of players, including casual players, due to the casual nature and relatively short duration; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a greater breadth of tools, engines, middleware and server solutions that can make development of casual games relatively more cost-effective.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Taiwan and Hong Kong, we offer various advanced casual games and non-RPG MMOs through FunTown. In June
2006, we launched our first advanced casual game, Tales Runner. Tales Runner is a multi-player obstacle running game in which players compete by running, jumping, dashing and using items. Since the launch, Tales Runner has become one of the most
popular online sports games in Hong Kong. In December 2007, we launched Nanaimo, a cute style action-based casual game. In Southeast Asia, we offer various advanced casual games and non-RPG MMOs through IAHGames. In November 2010, we commercially
launched Alliance of Valiant Arms, an online massively multiplayer first person shooter game which provides large-scale and team-based combat, in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau.

characters performance and game playing experience, or personalize their characters.

MMORPGs

MMORPGs are Internet-based computer games in which a large number of players interact with one another in an online virtual world. Like
any role playing video game, a player controls a character with an avatar, which he or she directs to complete tasks for experience points, interact with other characters and acquire items.

##### Table of Contents

Since 2006, we have expanded our online game operations to include several MMORPGs. We
continue to enlarge and diversify our MMORPG portfolio, which includes seven MMORPGs that we currently offer or expect to launch in various target markets in Greater China and Southeast Asia. Our MMORPGs encompass various genres, including
adventure, action, war and casual fantasy. The following table summarizes MMORPGs that we offered as of the date of this annual report:

We launched Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau in June 2009 and Luna
Online in the PRC in July 2009, respectively. These two games were not commercially successful in the territories in which they were launched. As a result, we terminated the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning license and distribution agreement and
the Luna Online game license agreement with the relevant game developers by mutual agreement on April 22, 2010 and June 1, 2010, respectively. As part of the termination of the operation of these games and to provide a transition for end
users, we allowed end users to continue playing Warhammer Online and Luna Online for a certain period after the termination date of the license agreements. We completely ceased the operation of the Warhammer Online and the Luna Online on
June 17, 2010 and August 30, 2010, respectively.

We launched Holic Online in Taiwan in January 2009. This game was
not commercially successful in Taiwan. We did not commercially launch the game in the PRC. As a result, we terminated the Holic Online exclusive game license agreements in relation to the licensing of the Holic Online both in Taiwan and the PRC with
the relevant game developer by mutual agreement on December 10, 2010. As part of the termination of the operation of this game and to provide a transition for end users, we allowed end users to continue playing the Holic Online for a certain
period after the termination date of the license agreement. On March 31, 2011, we completely ceased the operation of the Holic Online in Taiwan.

Nan Di Bei Gai was jointly operated by Shanghai JIDI and a third party game developer. Under the joint operation model, the third party game developer was responsible for game development and providing
technical support to game operation and Shanghai JIDI was responsible for installing and maintaining game servers, operating the game on Shanghai JIDI platform and providing online game services for the users to enhance their playing and
entertainment experiences. The third party game developer and Shanghai JIDI agreed to share game revenues generated by the operation of such game proportionally. Shanghai JIDI commercially launched Nan Di Bei Gai in April 2011. This game was not
commercially successful in the PRC. We terminated the joint operation agreement with the relevant game developer on March 15, 2012. As part of the termination of the operation of this game and to provide a transition for end users, we allowed
end users to continue playing Nan Di Bei Gai for a certain period after the termination date of the joint operation agreement. On April 15, 2012, we completely ceased the operation of Nan Di Bei Gai in the PRC.

We entered into various agreements with Blizzard through Southeast Asia games operator IAHGames, of which we became a controlling
shareholder since July 2010. In connection with the strategic alliance, IAHGames, through its wholly owned subsidiary Monsoon, entered into various agreements with Blizzard to distribute selected Blizzard Entertainment® games in Singapore,
Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines, include bestselling games from Blizzards Diablo® action-role-playing-game series, Warcraft® and StarCraft® real-time strategy-game series, including StarCraft II: Wings of
Liberty, and World of Warcraft® and its three expansion sets, The Burning Crusade®, Wrath of the Lich King® and Cataclysm. In September 2011, as part our strategic restructuring and new strategic growth plans, we terminated
the distribution partnership with Blizzard by mutual agreement. In January 2012, IAHGames commitments under the distribution partnership were fully terminated.

In March 2010 and September 2011, we entered into a game development, publishing and distribution
agreement and an amendment agreement with Nickelodeon pursuant to which we agreed to develop, publish and distribute a MMORPG in Asia, the European Union, Eastern Europe and Latin America based upon and branded with the Nickelodeon animated
television program SpongeBob SquarePants for Nickelodeon.

Most of our games are operated or expected to be
operated under the item-billing revenue model (Item-Billing). Under the Item-Billing model, users are able to access the basic functions of a MMORPG for free. Players may choose to purchase in-game value-added services as well as in-game
virtual items and premium features to enhance the game experience. These services and items allow players to utilize more functions, improve performance and skills, and personalize the appearance of a game character. Game points are consumed as
users purchase value-added services and in-game items.

Game Sources

In-house development of MahJong, Card, Chance-Based and Simple Casual Games

We develop our games offered on FunTowns game platform, including online MahJong, card, chance-based and simple casual games. Our
in-house development enables us to have better control of the game features and allow for seamless integration into our FunTown platform. In order to support product development capabilities and develop our proprietary online games, we acquired a
specialized Web-based social games development team which was comprised of 11 software and design engineers in the PRC through Shanghai JIDI. As of March 31, 2012, we have an in-house team, which was comprised of approximately 55 software and
design engineers.

Sources of MMORPGs, Advanced Casual Games and Non-RPG MMOs

We primarily source MMORPGs, advanced casual games and non-RPG MMOs through licensing from developers in various regions where online game
development is well established. We monitor each of the United States, South Korean, the PRC, Japanese, Southeast Asia and European markets and maintain communications with a number of leading game development studios to identify and source new
online games.

In selecting games, we evaluate the key factors that indicate the market trend and player demand and interest
in the regions where we operate. We believe that our market analysis enables us to better assess the quality, risks, costs and potential returns of the games.

Prior to negotiating a license agreement with a game developer, our game testing team evaluates the game and prepares detailed evaluation reports covering the theme, storyline, in-game culture and
environment, character progression, system architecture, game art, design, virtual articles and items.

We enter into a
license agreement after we decide to operate the selected game based on the results of our evaluation. The cost of licensing games from developers generally consists of an upfront licensing fee, which we normally pay in several installments, and
ongoing licensing fees, or royalties, which are equal to a percentage of revenues generated from operation of the game. We may also have to provide certain minimum guarantees in royalties to developers.

##### Table of Contents

In preparing for the commercial launch of each new game, we cooperate with the game
developer to localize the game to make it suitable for the target markets where we plan to launch. Once the developer completes the localization and provides the first-built version, we conduct closed beta testing of the game with a select group of
users. During the test period, we identify and eliminate any technical problems, assess how likely users will be to play the game regularly over a period of time (referred to as user stickiness), and modify and add certain game features
in order to increase user stickiness. The closed beta testing is followed by open beta testing, during which we operate our games under open market conditions and monitor the performance, consistency and stability of operational systems for the
game.

Following the commercial launch of a game, we continuously implement improvements and upgrades to our games.

While we will continue to broaden our access to high quality online games through licensing, we intend to expand our in-house
game development team and strengthen our online game development capabilities.

enhance the player attacking or defense power, the armor and weapons and to customize their online personal graphic profiles or avatars. Players are able to enhance their attacking and/or defense power with an alternative virtual item purchase

their own unique look while participating in the online community. The virtual items for avatars include facial expressions, clothes and different accessories. These items are particularly popular with younger players, who customize their avatars to

networking community to further facilitate access to its online game offering and accommodate different social net working needs of its users in the PRC.

Non-PC Based or Mobile Platforms for Certain Games

As technologies advance and enable people to access the Internet in new ways, we plan to expand our offerings to match these new access technologies and platforms. In January 2009, we launched FunTown
MahJong, our first Xbox 360 game title for worldwide release. We also offer certain of our popular games on the media-on-demand (MOD) digital TV platform, called FunTown Game Zone, which involves cooperation with Intel by utilizing its
Viiv technology.

We launched our MahJong game application which uses a web-based technology with no download required. This
simplified user sign-in procedures and enabled tighter integration with social networking platform by allowing users to log into our game directly via their accounts at the social networking platform. We also launched a single person variation of
our MahJong product on the iOS platform as a way of further broadening our platform reach.

We have also developed mobile
phone versions of our certain games. In addition, as the video games become an emerging facet of in-flight entertainment, we offer various in-flight games to certain airlines, which are networked to allow interactive game play among multiple
passengers on the same flight.

Our Marketing

Our marketing strategy is to capitalize on our established brand names and utilize our diverse distribution networks to retain our
existing users and attract new users. We use various qualitative and quantitative market research methods to analyze our target market and to differentiate our product offerings from those of our competitors. We are engaged in a variety of
traditional and online marketing programs and promotional activities, including the following:

In-Game Events and Marketing

We organize in-game events for our users, which we believe encourages the development of online communication and teamwork
among our users and increases user interest in our games. Examples of in-game events include scheduled challenges or competitions for prizes. In addition, we use in-game events to introduce new features of our games.

Cross-Marketing

We have
cross-marketing relationships with popular consumer brands, major technology companies, telecommunication carriers, popular movie producers and publishers. We believe that our cross-marketing relationships with certain well-known companies,
including Coca-Cola, 7-11 and Microsoft, Adidas, Razer, Steel Series, Toshiba, Dell, Western Digital, SingTel, StarHub, will increase the recognition of our online game brands.

Open Beta Testing

Our open beta testing is conducted under open market
conditions. During open beta testing, we do not charge users to play the new game. Open beta testing serves important marketing functions, including instilling initial interests, establishing an initial user base, and generating word-of-mouth
publicity to support the following commercial launch of the game.

Advertisements and Offline Promotions

We advertise our brand names and our games across a variety of media, including newspapers, the Internet, television, radio, university
campus and outdoor advertisements. From time to time we distribute game-related posters, promotional prepaid cards for new users and souvenirs at trade shows, selected Internet cafés and other locations. We have contracted with various
Internet café unions directly or via agents to promote our games in Internet cafés, and have contracted with several advertising and publishing service providers to promote our games through popup windows at designated Internet portals
in the PRC. We also conduct events at popular venues to stage exhibitions, distribute software and game content-related merchandise, and interact directly with our users.

Game Magazines

In addition to advertising certain games in various
magazines, we also collaborate with certain game magazines for various promotions, including giving away copies of certain games free of charge with each magazine sold.

New Media Promotion

In addition to advertising certain games in
conventional channels described above, we also collaborate with certain new media channels, for example, the micro-blogging services provided with Sina and the PRC focused search engine services.

Direct Marketing

We use
telemarketing and e-mail correspondence to inform our users of new games, promotions and other game-related services.

Our Distribution
and Payment Channels

We sell game points for our online games through various channels. Our distribution and payment
channels include:

Offline Physical Distribution Channels

Physical distribution channels include convenience chain stores, gaming and related retail stores, supermarkets and Internet cafés. At these locations, users may purchase pre-paid game cards with
varying amounts of game points. Alternatively, users may purchase game packs to play specific games on FunTown, IAHGames and JIDIs game platforms.

##### Table of Contents

Internet-Based Distribution Channels

Internet-based distribution channels consist of various websites, including official websites of FunTown, IAHGames and JIDI. Users may
purchase game points through these websites with their credit cards or computer-based payment processing terminals.

Telecommunication
Network Operators

We also distribute game points through cooperation with telecommunication network operators and their
service providers. Our cooperating operators and service providers charge the fees to the purchasers phone bills, which are prepared and collected by the network operators.

Payment Aggregators

We also work with established payment aggregators.
These payment aggregators allow users to pay for a variety of products and services, such as mobile phone calls and game points of different game operators, using their pre-paid scratch cards, vouchers or codes printed on receipts.

We sell our game points to distributors at prices lower than the face value of the game points. The costs of distributing game points
through Internet-based channels are generally lower than the costs involved in offline distribution of physical game cards. To encourage use of the Internet-based channels and provide more convenience for users, in certain markets we give our users
the computer-based payment processing terminals for free so that they can purchase game points online.

Our Operation
Architecture

We have a scalable and modular operation architecture that enables us to support and expand our game
offerings and services. The architecture consists of several key subsystems, including game services, central user database, billing and payment, online customer service, game telemetry and monitoring. FunTown, IAHGames and JIDI have their own
unified user account systems, which allow players to use a single account to access all FunTown games, IAHGames games and JIDI games, respectively. Our billing and game management system supports various billing models and deposit options, and is
sufficiently flexible to accommodate in-house developed games and licensed games. Our customer service system enables us to assist our players inside and outside the games. Our game telemetry and monitoring system allows us to track our concurrent
online users in real time and effectively identify and fix technical problems in our server network.

Technology
Infrastructure

Due to the real-time interaction among thousands of users, the stable operation of our onlíne
games requires a significant number of servers and a significant amount of connectivity bandwidth. We have developed an extensive technology infrastructure that supports the operation of our online games.

As of March 31, 2012, JIDI owned approximately 70 servers and leased 39 servers from ISPs for our online games operation in the PRC.

As of March 31, 2012, we owned approximately 780 servers and leased 15 servers from ISPs for our online games operation
in Taiwan and Hong Kong. As of the same date, our server network in Taiwan and Hong Kong consisted of approximately 255 game servers.

We are the first gaming company in Southeast Asia to use unified computing to deliver efficiency and scalability to our operations in the region. With Corous360, a leading independent online games cloud
service provider, we have taken the operations of managing interactive entertainment into the virtual space. The implementation provides a highly secure, scalable, efficient and cost-effective platform that reduces information technology
infrastructure costs and complexity, while improving our business agility. The business value in using cloud computing has also resulted in us offering the platform as a chargeable service to all game developers and providers, as we collaborate to
share knowledge and cost-savings measures with other companies in the industry, taking the business of online games, to a future-state.

We seek to adapt our infrastructure promptly in response to changing circumstances.

Competition

Our primary competitors in the Asian online game and service business are online game operators based in Taiwan, the PRC and Southeast Asia. Our major competitors in Taiwan include Gamania, Soft-World,
IGS, UserJoy and GodGame. Our major competitors in the PRC include Shanda, Giant, Changyou, The9 Limited, Nineyou, Tencent, Perfect World, Kingsoft, Ourgames.com and Chinagames.net. Our major competitors in Southeast Asia include Asiasoft and
Garena.

In addition, we compete for users against various offline games, such as console games, arcade games and handheld
games, as well as various other forms of traditional or other online entertainment.

We expect more online games operating
companies to enter into the markets where we operate, including Taiwan, the PRC, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and that a wider range of online games to be introduced to the these market given the relatively low entry barriers to entry in the online
games industry. Our competitors vary in size and include private and public companies, many of which have greater financial, marketing and technical resources as well as name recognition. We intend to continue to enhance our market position through
providing competitive products and quality services that meet market trends and users preferences, as well as strengthening sales effectiveness.

Gaming Software and Service Business

On April 8, 2010, we completed
the sale of a 60 percent interest in our online gaming software and service business to BetClic, a leading European sports betting and online gaming group. We hold the remaining 40 percent of Everest Gaming with a put option to sell all or part of
our share to BetClic and BetClic holds a call option on any remaining Everest Gaming interests held by us. For both our put option and BetClics call option, the price paid will be determined based upon the fair market value of Everest Gaming
as of December 31 of the prior year, as determined by mutual agreement between the parties or, failing that, an appraisal process. See  Sale of Material Assets of CESL and UIM to Everest Gaming, and Investment in Everest
Gaming below. Everest Gaming operates a multilingual, multi-product game platform, namely the Everest-branded gaming platform, which offers online poker and casino games.

Everest Gaming

Following the acquisition of the 60 percent interest in our online gaming software and service business to BetClic on April 8, 2010, Everest Gaming operates directly the software and service business
previously operated by CESL and the online entertainment operator business previously operated directly by UIM. While BetClic generally controls the day-to-day operations of Everest Gaming, we have approval rights over certain material actions of
Everest Gaming, including certain issuances of securities of Everest Gaming, certain acquisitions and dispositions of assets and material changes to the principal business of Everest Gaming. New CIDC Delaware Corp., a company wholly owned by Everest
Gaming and incorporated in the U.S., provides software development services to Everest Gaming.

Everest Gaming operates online

##### Table of Contents

In accordance with the terms of the strategic alliance, Everest Gaming has been seeking to
migrate all BetClic poker players to the Everest Poker platform in order to create one of the largest poker player liquidity platforms in Europe. On June 7, 2010, Everest Gaming received online poker licenses as part of the first
grant of licenses in France. In July 2010, BetClic.fr and Everestpoker.fr, sites were approved by ARJEL, the French gaming regulatory authority for the French online poker market. Since July 2010, all of BetClic French poker players have been able
to play on the Everest Poker platform by logging on to the BetClic.fr website and clicking a link. Chips are purchased using BetClics software and may be transferred for use on the Everest Poker platform. Everest Gaming further increased
migration between the Everest Poker and BetClic Poker operations by allowing all of BetClics non-French European poker players to play on the Everest Poker platform by logging on to the BetClic.com website beginning in late August 2011. The
combined user base of Everest Poker and BetClic Poker  both leading brands throughout Europe  strongly positions the alliance to capture dominant market share within the French market, one of the largest in Europe, and the more broad
European international market.

Terms of our joint venture with BetClic regarding Everest Gaming

On April 8, 2010, we completed the sale of a 60 percent interest in our online gaming software business to BetClic. BetClic is
jointly owned by former media tycoon Stéphane Courbits Lov Group and the world renowned Monte Carlo Casino owner Société des Bains de Mer de Monaco, controlled by the Principality of Monaco. BetClic has an extensive
European gambling portfolio, including BetClic, Expekt, and Bet-at-Home, together offering sports betting, poker and casino services to over four million registered users in over 25 countries. The strategic alliance with BetClic was structured as a
stock and asset sale to a newly-formed French entity, Everest Gaming, in which we received a 40 percent stake.

As part of and
as a condition to the completion of the transaction, we purchased the shares of our then-major licensee UIM all of the material assets of which were sold to Everest Gaming as part of the transaction. We sometimes refer to our online gaming software
business and UIMs business as the Everest Business. For its 60 percent stake in the Everest Business, BetClic made an initial cash payment of approximately US$100 million, which may be followed by a final earn-out payment in 2012
to be determined by reference to the fair-market value of Everest Gaming in May 2012, as defined in the agreement.

We hold
the remaining 40 percent of Everest Gaming with a put option to sell all or part of its share to BetClic. The put option is exercisable in 2013, 2014 and 2015. BetClic holds a call option on any remaining Everest Gaming interests held by us which it
may exercise in 2015 and 2016. For both our put option and BetClics call option, the price paid will be determined based upon the fair market value of Everest Gaming as of December 31 of the prior year, as determined by mutual agreement
between the parties or, failing that, an appraisal process.

We have retained the liability, if any, for certain potential tax
claims, if any, and existing liabilities of the Everest Business, and also has agreed to provide a limited indemnity with respect to breaches of representations and warranties (which generally survive until December 31, 2011) and covenants
contained in the purchase agreement.

While BetClic generally controls the day-to-day operations of Everest Gaming, so long as
we own at least 20 percent of Everest Gamings share capital, we will have approval rights over certain material actions of Everest Gaming, including certain issuances of securities of Everest Gaming, certain acquisitions and dispositions of
assets and material changes to the principal business of Everest Gaming. In addition, so long as we hold at least 10 percent of Everest Gamings share capital, we will have representation on the board of directors of Everest Gaming.

BetClic has agreed that it will not acquire other online poker businesses without first giving Everest Gaming the opportunity to acquire
such business, at our discretion, so long as we hold at least 20 percent of Everest Gamings share capital.

Competition

Everest Gaming faces intense competition in the online gaming industry, which is characterized by low barriers to entry, rapid technological change and ever-changing consumer preferences. New entrants to
the online gaming industry, increasingly competitive market consolidations and aggressive marketing and pricing by competitors may lead to a significant decline in the customer base, revenues and margins of Everest Gaming. In addition, online gaming
industry is influenced by various other factors, including changes in policies and regulations and economic conditions in different jurisdictions. For example, many European countries such as Spain and Germany, where there are state-owned gaming
monopolies, have taken actions or introduced legislation aimed at ring fencing the liquidity of online poker players by allowing players to play within their borders only. This decrease in liquidity will have an adverse effect on the
Everest Gaming poker business.

##### Table of Contents

To compete effectively against Everest Gamings existing competitors and new
competitors in the future, Everest Gaming intends to continue to improve the principal competitive factors that it believes can keep it competitive, including brand, technology, financial stability and resources, regulatory compliance, independent
oversight and transparency of business practices.

Our Gaming Software and Service Business Prior to the Strategic
Alliance with BetClic

Prior to completing the sale of a 60 percent interest to BetClic on April 8, 2010, we
operated our gaming software and service business through CESL, our wholly-owned subsidiary. We offered online gaming solutions primarily focused on the online poker and casino segments of the global online gaming industry. We historically partnered
with UIM, our then-largest licensee, to provide a multilingual, multi-product game platform, namely the Everest-branded gaming platform.

CESLs Products and Services

We historically and primarily
provided the software and service for the online poker rooms, casinos and the related marketing affiliate programs operated by UIM through CESL. CESLs online gaming solution comprised online gaming software, online gaming management tools, and
application and consulting services.

Online Gaming Software and Management Tools

CESLs major software products were downloadable game client software programs, or game clients, which provided an intuitive user
interface for players to register, deposit and withdraw funds, play free and real money games, manage their accounts and profiles, and seek assistance. CESLs game clients processed locally in each end-users computer and interacted
remotely with UIMs gaming servers to display virtual poker rooms and casinos, generated a sequence of random numbers for game playing, and enabled users to play poker and casino games through the Internet. To improve the usability of
CESLs software and the accessibility of CESLs gaming platform for customers around the world, CESL localized its game clients to reflect the local languages and conventions. CESLs game clients were available in 15 supported
languages. The game clients were installed directly from websites. Patches and updates were provided automatically and applied to the product content each time the software programs started.

CESLs gaming management tools included an e-commerce system, marketing support tools and back-office applications. CESLs
e-commerce system accommodated a broad array of deposit and payment options such as credit card processors and various electronic wallet programs. CESLs marketing support tools provided UIM with a highly integrated web-based promotion
platform, which could be interactively edited through a content management system. CESLs back-office applications provided tools for e-commerce promotions, player accounts and customer support. The back-office platform also included a
sophisticated system that features data warehousing and management, business intelligence functions and provided tools for preventing and detecting fraud and other irregularities during the games as well the e-commerce transactions.

Application and Consulting Services

In addition to licensing CESLs software products, CESL also provided to UIM a variety of software application and support services including:



| |  |  | Infrastructure Design and Management Services. CESL provided the architectural design of various infrastructure elements, including the servers,
databases, networks, routers, firewalls and management tools that are required for Internet gaming operations.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Transaction Processing Services. These services included (i) payment consultation for designing timely collection and distribution systems
for payments through a variety of channels and merchants; (ii) billing consultation for designing real-time and out-of-band transaction processing and order management; and (iii) risk management consultation for creating and designing
tools and processes for fraud detection, prevention and management.

| |  |  | Customer Support Services. CESL offered UIM a comprehensive round-the-clock consultation support to resolve infrastructure issues. CESL also provided
platform technical support during periodic maintenance to update, patch, and fine-tune the system performance of our software solutions.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Custom Gaming Software Development Services. CESL customized the entertainment modules and interfaces for the gaming platform to meet specific requests
of UIMs affiliates or partners.

| |  |  | Marketing Support Services. CESL created branded websites and provide marketing support services to assist UIM in attracting new players.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CESLs Technology and Infrastructure

CESLs online gaming platform was composed of multiple fault-tolerant distributed modules supporting a wide range of functionality,
including the server application program, loyalty program management, financial stored-value management, e-commerce engines, and an extensive set of tools to perform fraud screening, data mining, player support and affiliate marketing programs.
CESLs real-time gaming server software enabled integrated management of end user registration, account administration, deposit and transactions. CESLs transaction server software encapsulated business logic and abstract data and
third-party services, such as payment processors.

Relationship with UIM

Prior License Arrangement with UIM

Our gaming software and service business was historically dependent on our largest licensee, UIM, an online gaming operator. On April 1, 2004, we entered into an end user license agreement with UIM,
pursuant to which we granted a nonexclusive, non-transferable, worldwide license to UIM to use our software and certain operational and support services. The end user license agreement was amended on March 1, 2006, March 1,
2007, March 1, 2008 and April 1, 2009, respectively. The term of the agreement was 10 years. The license fees were determined based on a revenue sharing mechanism under the end user agreement, as amended. The end user license
agreement with UIM was terminated in April 2010 as the part of the transaction with BetClic. In addition to licensing software, we provided UIM with application services and consulting services for its Internet infrastructure, including website
design, payment gateways and database and operating systems, in return for a fixed percentage of UIMs gross receipt. The financial results of UIM were historically incorporated into our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification although we did not historically own any equity interest in UIM.

UIM

UIM was an online entertainment operator that provided online gaming entertainment, including online casinos and virtual poker rooms. UIM
offered this entertainment content through several websites, including Everest Poker (www.everestpoker.com), which was awarded Poker Operator of the Year for each of 2007 and 2008 and the Online Marketing Campaign of the Year for 2009 by e-Gaming
Review, a UK-based independent industry journal magazine. UIM marketed its game sites through affiliate programs where private and commercial owners of websites were invited to place, on their websites, banners containing links to UIMs
websites, in return for fees with reference to the number of qualified new player sign-ups, or based on revenues generated by users that have been directed to UIMs website from such banners.

UIM operated exclusively from computer servers located in the Kahnawake Territory in Canada under a gaming license issued by the
Kahnawake Gaming Commission. On March 1, 2010, UIM received two full remote gaming licenses (a Class 1 and a Class 3) issued by Malta Lotteries and Gaming Authority. As part of the transaction with BetClic, all of the material assets of UIM
(including various gaming licenses held by it) were transferred to Everest Gaming. UIM is now a dormant entity and has ceased its business operation since April 8, 2010.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of patent, trademark,
copyright and trade secret laws in the U.S. and other jurisdictions as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology and our brand. We have patents, copyrights and trademarks in certain
jurisdictions and may apply for further trademark and copyright registrations and additional patents, which may provide such protection in relevant jurisdictions. However, there is no assurance that this will be sufficient to fully protect our
proprietary technology. In addition, our technologies may not be able to withstand any third-party claims or rights against their use.

We also enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees
and consultants and confidentiality agreements with other third parties, and we rigorously control access to proprietary technology.

Regulation

Regulations Relating to Online Games in Taiwan

At present, there is no specific law in Taiwan governing online game services, nor are there any specific licensing requirements imposed on Internet content providers in connection with offering online
game services. The National Communications Commission (the NCC) was established in March 2006. In December 2006, the NCC proposed the overhaul of the regulatory framework in the communications and broadcasting sectors by amending the
Telecommunications Act, the Radio and Television Act, the Cable Radio and Television Act and the Satellite Radio and Television Act. Pursuant to the original proposal, the legislation at issue would be consolidated into a new legislative Act to be
known as the Communications and Broadcasting Act. In December 2008, the NCC announced a change to its policy, stating that it had decided to delay enacting the Communication and Broadcasting Act for two to four years. According to the digital
convergence plan adopted by the Executive Yuan in December 2010, digital convergence framework is expected to be approved in 2014 and digital convergence law is expected to be finalized in 2015.

Rating of Internet Content

The Government Information Office, which was the agency in charge of Internet content prior to establishment of the NCC, promulgated the Regulations for the Rating of Internet Content in April 2004, as
amended in October 2005. In general, Internet content shall not include any illegal or banned materials. To avoid negative impact on the physical or mental development of children or adolescents, Internet content containing any of the following
materials shall be rated as restricted and shall not be viewed by those below the age of 18: (i) excessive depiction of gambling, robbery or other criminal offenses; (ii) excessive depiction of suicide; (iii) depiction involving
terror, blood or cruelty which is presented in a manner acceptable to adults; or (iv) depiction of sexual acts or sexual obscenity which does not embarrass or disgust adults in general. If Internet content is in violation of the Regulations for
the Rating of Internet Content, competent authorities may order the relevant ISPs to restrict access to children or adolescents or remove the offending content and impose an administrative fine on the offenders.

Computer Software Ratings

The Ministry of Economic Affairs announced in July 2006 the Regulations Governing Computer Software Rating, which took effect in January
2007. This regulation was first amended in June 2009 and the first amendment took effect in December 2009 and further amended on March 10, 2011 and took effect on July 1, 2011. Computer software includes the game software which can be
installed in computers, televisions and handheld gaming devices. The provider of computer software shall identify the rating of the computer software when it provides it to users. There are four ratings: (i) Mature Audience Only (not suitable
for those below the age of 18); (ii) Parental Guidance Advisable (not suitable for those below the age of 12; parental guidance is advisable for those between the ages of 12 to 18); (iii) Parental Guidance Strongly Suggested (not suitable
for those below the age of 6; guidance from parents, teachers or adults is strongly suggested for those between the ages of 6 to 12); and (iv) General Audience (suitable for all ages). According to the 2011 amendment, the computer gaming
software that uses virtual currency to play simulated MahJong, poker, dice, steel ball, horse racing, roulette, slot machine and other games of similar nature, and the outcome of the games may result in increase or decrease of the virtual currency,
shall be rated as Parental Guidance Strongly Suggested. If the contents thereof meet the requirements under the rating criteria of Mature Audience Only or Parental Guidance Advisable, such games shall be rated accordingly.

Online Game Contract Template

The Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Consumer Protection Commission have published a model contract template which sets out permitted terms and limitations with respect to online game services offered
in Taiwan, pursuant to the Consumer Protection Act. The contract template was last amended on December 7, 2010. Generally, consumers should be given at least three days to review such contract. Amendments or changes to fees payable for services
offered must be publicly announced at least thirty days prior to such amendment, and notification provided to consumers. Consumer game records must be maintained by each online game operator for a minimum period of thirty days and shall be open to
inspection by such consumers. Suspension periods for consumers who have breached the terms of their online game contracts may not exceed a period of seven days. Apart from gifts, the on-line game operator cannot limit the use period of the game
points in the on-line game contract. Furthermore, the on-line game operator cannot specify in the on-line game contract that it has the right to interpret the contract terms and conditions.

Personal Data Protection Act

On April 27, 2010, the Legislative Yuan passed a bill to amend the Computer-processed Personal Data Protection Act, which was renamed as the Personal Data Protection Act. Whenever an entity collects
personal data from any individual, it shall inform such individual about (i) the name and identity of the collecting entity; (ii) the purpose of collection; (iii) how the collected personal data will be used; (iv) his/her rights;
and (v) the consequences of his/her failure to provide the required personal data. If personal data is not provided by individuals, in addition to the information required to be disclosed as described above, the collecting entity shall inform
such individual of the source of the data before processing or using the data. In principle, prior consent from the individual is required for use of his/her personal data. These requirements shall be exempted if relevant personal data of the
individual (i) is used for public interests; or (ii) is available from the public domain and the interest to be protected is more important than the privacy of such individual. Depending on the gravity of a violation, damages of NT$500 to
NT$20,000 may be claimed against a person for each violation of the Personal Data Protection Act even if the actual damage cannot be proved. If there is more than one victim in a single violation, the maximum damages would be up to NT$200,000,000.
However, if the interests involved therein exceed NT$200,000,000, restrictions on maximum amount for damages to be claimed and on minimum amount for damages to be claimed (NT$500 per person for each violation) shall not apply. This new Personal Data
Protection Act will take effect pursuant to the announcement of the Executive Yuan. Given that there may be some delay in the enactment of the enforcement rules, the new Personal Data Protection Act will come into force sometime in 2012.

Regulations Relating to Online Games in the PRC

As the online games industry is at an early stage of development in the PRC, the PRC laws and regulations governing the online games industry and related business in the PRC involve substantial
uncertainties and are subject to further changes. See Item 3, Key Information  D. Risk Factors  Risks Related to Doing Business in Greater China  The laws and regulations governing the online games industry in the PRC
are evolving and new regulations may adversely affect our business in this annual report.

The principal PRC regulations
governing the provision of Internet content and online gaming services include (among others) the Telecommunications Regulations (2000), the Administrative Rules for Foreign Investments in Telecommunications Enterprises (2001), the Tentative
Measures for the Administration of Internet Publications (2002), the Opinions on the Development and Management of Online Games (2005), the Anti-Internet Addiction Regulations (2007), the Administrative Measures for Telecommunications Business
Operating Licenses (2009) and the Tentative Measures for Online Games Administration (2010) and the Tentative Measures for Administration of Internet Culture (2011).

Our provision of online games and online game-related content on our websites in the PRC is subject to various Chinese laws and regulations relating to the telecommunications industry, Internet and online
games, and is regulated by various government and regulatory authorities, including:



| |  |  | MIIT (formerly the Ministry of Information Industry);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Ministry of Culture, or MOC;
| | - |  | --------------------------------

Foreign Ownership Restrictions

Current PRC laws and regulations impose substantial restrictions on the foreign ownership of companies that provide Internet content
services in the PRC. Foreign investors are also restricted from owning equity in entities which provide Internet publications. In addition, foreign or foreign-owned enterprises are currently not able to apply for the required licenses for operating
online games in the PRC. These licenses can only be held by domestic PRC persons. Furthermore, pursuant to a notice promulgated by the GAPP, National Copyright Administration, and National Office of Combating Pornography and Illegal Publications on
September 28, 2009, foreign investors are prohibited from participating in Internet game operating businesses via wholly owned, equity joint venture or cooperative joint venture investments in the PRC, and from controlling and participating in
such businesses directly or indirectly through contractual or technical support arrangements. If applied literally and uniformly, such notice would render our ownership structure in the PRC invalid and illegal. To date, however, there are
substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of such notice. Under PRC law, we are not considered to be a domestic PRC person for this purpose. In order to comply with foreign ownership restrictions, we operate our Asian
online game and service business in the PRC through contractual arrangements with our VIE, Shanghai JIDI. For further information of our VIE, see  C. Organizational Structure in this annual report.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current or future PRC laws and regulations.
Accordingly, we cannot assure you that PRC government authorities will ultimately take a view that is consistent with our view. If we or any of our PRC operating companies are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or
regulations, the relevant government authorities would have broad discretion in dealing with such violations and could impose significant penalties and sanctions or other regulatory or enforcement actions, including levying fines, confiscating
income, revoking business or operating licenses, requiring us to restructure our ownership structure, and requiring us to discontinue all or any part of our business operations. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. See Item 3, Key Information  D. Risk Factors  Risks Related to Doing Business in Greater China  PRC laws and regulations restrict foreign ownership and investment
in the online game industry, and substantial uncertainties exist with respect to the application and implementation of PRC laws and regulations in this annual report.

Licenses

As Internet content providers, our PRC operating companies are
required to hold ICP licenses issued by MIIT. Internet content providers offering ICP services in multiple provinces, autonomous regions and centrally administered municipalities may be required to obtain an inter-regional ICP license. Since online
games fall within the definition of Internet culture products under the Tentative Measures for Internet Culture Administration of 2011, a commercial operator of online games must, in addition to the ICP licenses, obtain an Internet
culture operation license from the MOC for its operation of online games, and foreign investors are restricted from owning equity in such entities. The provision of online games is also deemed an Internet publication activity, within the meaning of
the Tentative Measures for Internet Publication Administration of 2002, and therefore, an online game operator must also obtain the approval of the relevant press and publication administrative authorities or cooperate with a licensed Internet
publisher, as well as the appropriate licenses, in order to carry on its Asian online game and service business in the PRC.

Shanghai JIDI holds the ICP license, Internet culture operation license and Internet publishing license that are required to operate our
Asian online game and service business in the PRC.

Online Games Regulations

In April 2007, eight PRC governmental authorities, including GAPP, MIIT, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Public Security,
jointly promulgated the Notice on the Implementation of Online Game Anti-addiction System to Protect the Physical and Psychological Health of Minors, which requires online game operators to implement anti-addiction measures for users under eighteen
years of age. Under this anti-addiction notice, the first three hours of game-playing time of a user are considered healthy time, the following two hours are designated fatigue time and any time spent playing beyond five
consecutive hours is categorized as unhealthy time. Online game operators are required to establish an anti-addiction system and develop software features on all existing online games to reduce fatigue time and
unhealthy time such that, when a user has been playing in excess of specified periods of time, periodic in-game warnings will be sent to prompt the user to leave the game and the number of points or other benefits will be limited.
Internet game operators are also required to develop identification verification system and registration software, which will require online game players to register their real identity information before they are allowed to play online games.
Failure to comply with these requirements may subject the operator to penalties, including but not limited to suspension of operation of online games, revocation of operating licenses and approvals for operations, rejection or suspension of
application for approvals, licenses, or filings for any new game, or prohibition of operating any new game. The requirement to verify real names to curb online game addiction was formally implemented on October 1, 2011 via the Notice on
Initiating the Work of Real-name Verification against Online Games Addiction, which was jointly issued by the foregoing eight government authorities on July 1, 2011. The Notice provides that a service center under the Ministry of Public
Security must verify the real names of game players. In addition, online game operators are required to test and verify the registration information of the game players and submit the names of all game players who have provided false identification
information to the anti-addiction system. See Item 3, Key Information  D. Risk Factors  Risks Related to Doing Business in Greater China  The laws and regulations governing the online games industry in the PRC are
evolving and new regulations may adversely affect our business in this annual report.

Since February 2010, the MOC has tested the Guardian Project for Minors Playing Online Games
(Guardian Project) among certain online game operators. The Notice for the Guardian Projects Implementation was issued on January 15, 2011 by eight governmental authorities and states that the Guardian Project shall be fully
implemented from March 1, 2011, after which any online game operator who fails to comply with the requirements of Guardian Project will be punished. The Guardian Project requires online game operators to establish special web pages for guardian
services, publish hotline numbers for consultation and issue quarterly reports on the performance of guardian services to the Department of Cultural Administration at the provincial level. Online game operators are also required to impose certain
restrictions on minor online game players upon their parents request and report the minors activities to their parents. The Notice also recommends that minors should not engage in time-consuming games, such as massive role-playing games
or player killing games, and suggests that students spend less than two hours per week and less than RMB 10 per month on games. Although such recommendations and suggestions are non-mandatory, they may affect parents instructions to minor
online game players, adversely affecting our online business performance.

On November 2, 2011, the MOC issued a circular
regarding the implementation of the Tentative Measures and the Guardian Project. The Circular noted existing problems with the relevant policies and outlined plans to strengthen the projects implementation. The Circular also urged online game
operators to strictly comply with the regulations and recognized the good enforcement measures adopted by Shanghai, where our VIE Shanghai JIDI is registered. The circular also indicated that the MOC will continue to promote the Guardian Project and
implement virtual assets regulations in 2012.

The Shanghai Online Game Industry Service Standards were released on
January 31, 2012 came into effect on March 1, 2012. The standards provide that online game operators should operate in accordance with state regulations and prohibit minors from accessing inappropriate games or game features. Minors should
be subjected to game time limits and monitored by parents through guardian channels provided by online game operators. Operators should also communicate with parents and seek to prevent online game addiction. In addition, online game operators are
prohibited from providing virtual currency transactions to minors. Currently we have not received any reports of any adverse impact on our turnover due to the implementation of the standards. However, it is believed that the MOC will continue to
promote the Guardian Project and implement virtual assets regulations in 2012 according to the 2012 Key Work of the Marketing Department of the MOC. We will monitor this development and trend closely, given that Shanghai JIDI is registered in
Shanghai.

In addition, the current PRC law prohibits any online game products involving illegal money-collecting. On
February 15, 2007, 14 governmental authorities, including the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Information Industry, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and PBOC, jointly issued the Circular for Further Strengthening the
Administration of Internet Café and Online Games. This circular grants the PBOC administrative authority over virtual currencies issued by online game operators for use by players in online games to avoid the potential impact such virtual
currencies may have on the real-world financial systems. The circular also restricts the volume of virtual currency that may be issued and the purchase of such virtual currencies. Virtual currency must not be used to purchase any physical products,
refunded with a premium, or otherwise illegally traded. On June 4, 2009, the MOC and the MOFCOM jointly issued the Circular on Strengthening the Administration of Virtual Currency in Online Games. According to this circular, any PRC entities
engaging in issuance or trade service of virtual currency in online games shall meet the requirements of Commercial Online Cultural Entities as prescribed in the Tentative Measures for Administration of Internet Culture (2011) and
are required to apply to the MOC for an approval. This circular further provides, among others, that (i) the form, issuance scope and unit purchase price of virtual currency, the refund method in case of termination of online games, the
purchase method for the users (including cash, bank card, payment via Internet, etc.), the protection measures for users rights and interests, and the technology security safeguard measures, shall be filed with the MOC for record;
(ii) the unit purchase price of virtual currency shall not be changed by online games operators; (iii) the new type of virtual currency shall be filed with the MOC for record before issuance by online games operators; and (iv) the
virtual currency trade service shall not be open to the minors. See Item 3, Key Information  D. Risk Factors  Risks Related to Doing Business in Greater China  Restrictions on virtual currency may adversely affect our
revenues from online game operations in the PRC in this annual report.

On June 3, 2010, the MOC issued the
Tentative Measures for Online Games Administration (the Tentative Measures), which will take effect as of August 1, 2010. As the first ministry-level rules specifically governing the regulation of Chinas lucrative online games
market, the Tentative Measures cover online games operation, research and development, as well as the issuance and trade of virtual currency. The Tentative Measures incorporate many of the MOCs current rules and introduce a more
comprehensive and predictable regulatory framework for the industry. Online games are defined as game products and services composed of software programs and information databases, provided via the Internet, mobile networks, or other
information networks. Online game operation is defined as the provision of game products and services to the public through an information network by utilizing a user system or billing system. Virtual Currency for Online
Games means a virtual exchange tool represented by special numerical units, issued by online game operators and deposited by magnetic recording in a server outside online games and should be directly or indirectly purchased at certain rates by
game players with legal tender.

Enterprises engaging in the operation of online games must apply for an Internet culture
operation license issued by the MOC. An Internet culture operation license applicant must provide, at a minimum, its name, domicile, organization structure, articles of incorporation and business scope, as well as show that its employees comply with
national rules and its registered capital is not less than RMB 10 million. The registered capital amount is a significant increase from the previous threshold of RMB 1 million. Existing law provides that the national-level MOC has the final approval
authority over Internet culture operation license. In the Tentative Measures, the MOC delegates this authority to its provincial-level branches.

After obtaining the Internet culture operation license, online games enterprises must also obtain MOCs approval for the content of imported online games when (i) they become the exclusive
licensee of the game (the Domestic Licensee) or (ii) when they have materially changed the content of an approved game. An applicant of MOCs content approval must be an exclusive licensee of the imported online game. If an
online games Domestic Licensee changes, the proposed new Domestic Licensee must re-apply for MOCs content approval of the same game. Material changes include but are not limited to significant changes of a games
storyline, language, characters images, task design, economic system, systems of production and construction, and sound effects. In contrast, no content approval is required for domestic online games. Online games enterprises only need to file
a notification with MOC (i) within 30 days of the operation of a domestic online game or (ii) within 30 days of materially changing the games content.

The Tentative Measures also require online game companies to establish a self-censorship mechanism and ensure the lawfulness of the content of their games. All online game users are required to register
using their real names and to provide to the game operator valid documentary proof of identity. Online game operators are required to keep records of such personal information. The termination of online game operations or a change of the operator of
an online game must be announced by the operator in question 60 days in advance, by means of a public notice. User consent is required under the Tentative Measures for any mandatory combat gameplay.

The Tentative Measures provisions with respect to virtual currency substantially reiterate current law, although they also impose a
prohibition on trading services for unapproved or unfiled online games. Providing virtual currency trading services to minors is prohibited. Virtual currency can only be used for the online game products and service and shall not be used to purchase
other goods and service and all users purchase record shall be kept for at least 180 days. In addition, the Tentative Measures lay out detailed requirements for online game companies to protect minors from becoming addicted to online games.
For example, technical measures must be taken to protect minors from inappropriate games, to limit time spent playing games, and to prevent game addiction. Liabilities for illegal activity by online game operators can include an official
rectification order, the confiscation of any illicit gains, monetary penalties, the suspension of the operators business pending rectification, revocation of the corresponding Internet culture operation license, or criminal penalties.

In light of the battle between the two online games approval authorities (i.e., GAPP and MOC) over who regulates online
gaming, the Tentative Measures appear to clarify MOCs role as the main authority regulating the online games responsible for approving the content of imported online games. However, online games enterprises must still obtain GAPP
approval for the publication of online games. For imported online games, GAPPs approval entails the certification of the intellectual property owner and the licensing agreement.

On July 29, 2010, the MOC further issued the Notice on the Implementation of the Tentative Measures for Online Games Administration.
Under this notice, the MOC provides for more detailed guideline on how to implement the Tentative Measures. It formulates, among others, some requisite clauses for the Standard Service Agreement of Online Games, and requires online game service
operators to incorporate all such requisite clauses into their agreements with the users and to exclude any provisions which contravene the requisite clauses. The application of such requisite clauses should be carried out together with the real
name registration measures. These requisite clauses provides that online game service operators are entitled to examining the authenticity of users identity and are obliged to actively ensure the security of users accounts. The online
game service operators are entitled to stopping its users from conducting any illegal or improper acts in its online game. If the online game service operators stop providing online game services to its users accordingly, they will have the burden
of proof to support their stop. Nevertheless, the online game operators should take necessary measures to secure the safety of personal information of the users, and, without permission of the users, should not disclose to or share with any third
parties such information, but subject to certain exceptions.

On October 11, 2010, the MOC issued a notice to clarify the
standard in determining whether the internal testing or public testing of online games constitutes commercial launch of the online games. According to this notice, online game service operators will be deemed to have commercially launched the online
games if during the testing of such online games, they conduct any of the following acts: (i) open to the public for user registration of the online games; (ii) charging users service fees; or (iii) carrying out their operating
activities in a manner of commercial cooperation or promotional sale or other means.

Internet Content and Publishing Regulations

The PRC government has promulgated measures relating to Internet content through a number of ministries and agencies, including MIIT, MOC
and GAPP. These measures specifically prohibit Internet activities, which includes the operation of online games that result in the publication of any content which is found to, among other things, propagate obscenity, gambling or violence,
instigate crimes, undermine public morality or the cultural traditions of the PRC, or compromise State security or secrets. If an ICP license holder violates these measures, the PRC government may revoke its ICP license and shut down its websites.

On June 27, 2002, the GAPP and the MIIT jointly promulgated the Tentative Measures for the Administration of Internet
Publications which took effect as of August 1, 2002. The GAPP shall supervise and regulate the Internet publishing industry throughout the country. Internet publishing shall mean the act of online dissemination and it is the
Internet information service providers publication of selected or edited works created by themselves or others on websites or the transmission of such works through the Internet to user terminals for public browsing, reading, using, or
downloading. Engaging in Internet publishing activities must be approved. No organizations or individuals may carry on Internet publishing activities without approval.

On September 28, 2009, GAPP, National Copyright Administration and National Office of Combating Pornography and Illegal Publications jointly published the Notice Regarding the Consistent
Implementation of the Stipulations on Three Provisions of the State Council and the Relevant Interpretations of the State Commission Office for Public Sector Reform and the Further Strengthening of the Administration of the
Pre-examination and Approval of Internet Game and the Examination and of Imported Internet Games (the Notice 13), according to which, the acts of providing online interactive or downloading services of online games to the public via
Internet are Internet publishing activities, which are subject to the pre-examination and approval of the GAPP. In addition, Notice 13 specified, inter alia, that no online game is allowed to be commercially launched without obtaining
the pre-approval from the GAPP, and the GAPP is responsible for the approval of imported online games.

On July 6, 2010,
the MOC issued the Notice on Strengthening the Administration of Online Game Marketing Promotion and Preventing the Obscene Marketing Activities. In this Notice, the MOC demands its subordinate authorities to strengthen their administration over the
entities who conduct online game marketing promotion and propaganda. Once obscene contents are detected in the marketing activities of online games, the MOC and its subordinate authorities may impose punishment on the entities concerned.

On February 17, 2011, the MOC issued the revised Tentative Provisions of Administration of Internet Culture, which come into effect
as of April 1, 2011. Compared with the previous provisions, the newly amended provisions are more specific and explicit. They define Internet culture products as: (i) Internet music entertainment, Internet games, Internet
dramas (programs), Internet performances, Internet artworks and Internet animations specifically produced for the Internet; and (ii) music entertainment, games, dramas (programs), performances, artworks and animations that are produced using
certain technical means and duplicated for online dissemination. For-profit Internet cultural activities means the provision of Internet cultural products and services for profit by collecting fees from online users or obtaining gains by
way of electronic commerce, advertising and sponsorship. Applicants for establishing a for-profit Internet cultural entity shall have registered capital of at least RMB1 million, or RMB10 million in the case of application for engaging in Internet
game business activities. Departments for cultural administration at the county level or above are responsible for supervision and management of Internet culture activities within their respective administrative areas.

Internet Information Service Regulations

On December 29, 2011, the MIIT issued a document entitled Several Provisions on the Regulation of the Order of the Internet Information Service Market, which came into effect on March 15, 2012.
According to the Provisions, Internet information service providers must not infringe the lawful rights and interests of other Internet information service providers and of users. When undertaking operations such as downloading, installing, running,
upgrading and unloading software on user terminals, Internet information service providers must provide specific and complete software functions and other information and must also obtain the prior consent of the user. If the Internet information
services software is bundled with other software, the user must be clearly warned and may decide whether to install or use such software without any unreasonable conditions attached. Where Internet information service providers utilize
pop up advertisements or other information windows that are irrelevant to the functions of terminal software on the user terminal, they must provide users with a clearly marked method for closing or exiting such windows.

Import Regulations

Our ability to license online games from abroad and import them into China is subject to various registration requirements under the relevant PRC laws and regulations. We are required to register with the
MOFCOM any license agreement with a foreign licensor that involves imports of technologies, including online game software into China. Without that registration, we cannot remit licensing fees out of China to any foreign game licensor. The State
Copyright Bureau requires us to register copyright license agreements relating to imported software. Without the State Copyright Bureau registration, we are not allowed to publish or reproduce the imported game software in China. Furthermore,
imported online game software is also required to obtain an approval by the GAPP and pass a content examination by the MOC. Any imported online game software, which has not been examined and approved by the GAAP and the MOC, is not allowed to be
launched in China.

Information Security Regulations

Internet content in the PRC is regulated and restricted from a State security standpoint. The Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress, the PRCs national legislative body, issued a
decision in December 2000, as amended in August 2009, according to which following conducts in China may be subject to criminal punishment in China; any effort to: (i) gain improper entry into a computer or system of strategic importance;
(ii) disseminate politically disruptive information; (iii) leak State secrets; (iv) spread false commercial information; or (v) infringe intellectual property rights. The Ministry of Public Security has promulgated measures that
prohibit use of the Internet in ways which, among other things, result in a leakage of State secrets or a spread of socially destabilizing content. The Ministry of Public Security has supervision and inspection rights in this regard, and we may be
subject to the jurisdiction of the local security bureaus. If an ICP license holder violates these measures, the PRC government may revoke its ICP license and shut down its websites.

On May 14, 2004, the MOC issued the Notice Regarding the Strengthening of Online Game Censorship. The notice mandates the
establishment of a new committee under the MOC that will screen the content of imported online games. In addition, all imported and domestic online games are required to be filed with the MOC.

On July 12, 2005, the MOC and the MIIT promulgated the Opinions on the Development and Administration of Online Game, which reflects
the PRC governments intent to foster and control the development of the online game industry in China.

In addition, the
MOC will censor online games that threaten state security, disturb the social order, or contain obscenity or violence.

Internet
Café Regulation

Internet cafés are required to obtain a license from MOC and SAIC, and are subject to
requirements and regulations with respect to location, size, number of computers, age limit of customers and business hours. Although we do not own or operate any Internet cafés, many Internet cafés distribute our virtual pre-paid game
cards. The PRC government has announced its intention, and has begun, to intensify its regulation of Internet cafés, which are currently one of the primary venues for our users to play online games. In April 2001, the PRC government began
tightening its regulation and supervision of Internet cafés. In particular, a large number of Internet cafés without requisite government licenses have been closed. In addition, the PRC government has imposed higher capital and
facility requirements for the establishment of Internet cafés. The PRC governments policy, which encourages the development of a limited number of national and regional Internet café chains and discourages the establishment of
independent Internet cafés, may also slow down the growth in the number of new Internet cafés. In February 2004, the SAIC and other related government agencies issued a notice to suspend issuance of new Internet café licenses
for a six month period. Though this nationwide suspension was generally lifted in 2005, local authorities have the authority of controlling the number and recipients of new Internet café licenses at their own discretion. In addition, local
and higher-level governmental authorities may from time to time strictly enforce customer age limits and other requirements relating to Internet cafés as a result of the occurrence of, and media coverage of, gang fights, arson or other
incidents in or related to Internet cafés. In February 2007, 14 PRC government authorities jointly issued a notice, which suspended approval for the establishment of new Internet cafés and called for strengthened regulation of existing
Internet cafés. Intensified government regulation of Internet cafés could restrict our ability to maintain or increase our revenues and expand our customer base.

Privacy Protection

PRC laws do not prohibit Internet content providers
from collecting and analyzing personal information from their users. We require our users to accept a user agreement whereby they agree to provide certain personal information to us. However, PRC law prohibits Internet content providers from
disclosing to any third parties any information transmitted by users through their networks unless otherwise permitted by law. PRC government authorities have recently enacted legislation regarding the use of the Internet, which recognizes the
importance of protecting personal information from unauthorized disclosure. Under the Internet Information Service Administrative Measures issued by the State Council on September 25, 2000, Internet information service providers are prohibited
from producing, copying, publishing or distributing information that is humiliating or slanderous to others or that infringes the lawful rights and interests of others. If an Internet content provider violates these measures, the MIIT or its local
bureaus may impose penalties, and the Internet content provider may be liable for damages caused to its users.

On May 31, 2010, the SAIC issued the Tentative Measures for Administration of Online
Commodity Trading and Relevant Services, which comes into effect as of July 1, 2010. The tentative measures stipulate, among others, that the operators who provide online services have the obligations to secure the safety of the personal
information of customers, to reasonably use, hold within a time limit and destroy properly such personal information. The operators are prohibited from collecting any information irrelevant to the products and services provided, and from disclosing,
leasing, and selling to any third parties the personal information collected from the users unless otherwise permitted by law.

The Several Provisions on Regulation of the Order of the Internet Information Service Market, which came into effect on March 15,
2012, also include detailed provisions for protecting privacy. Without the consent of users, Internet information service providers may not collect information that can be used to identity users independently or in combination with other information
and may not provide personal information of users to others unless permitted by relevant laws and administrative regulations. Where Internet information service providers collect personal information of users with their consent, they shall
explicitly inform the users of the means of collecting and processing the users personal information, the information collected and processed, and the purposes thereof. Internet information service providers may not collect personal
information of users other than as necessary to provide services, nor shall they use the personal information of users for purposes other than providing such services. Internet information service providers shall properly keep the personal
information of users. If the personal information of users is divulged or may possibly be divulged, Internet information service providers shall immediately take remedial measures. Where such incident causes or may cause serious harm, they shall
immediately report the same to the telecommunications administration authorities that grant them an Internet information service license or filing and cooperate in any subsequent investigation and disposal carried out by relevant departments.
Internet information service providers shall strengthen system safety protection, maintain the safety of information uploaded by users, and safeguard the use, modification and deletion of information uploaded by users.

In addition, the PRC government retains the power and authority to order Internet content providers to turn over personal information of
Internet users if the users post any prohibited content or engage in illegal activities on the Internet.

Global
Regulatory Environment Relating to the Everest Gaming Business

We historically operated our gaming software and
service business primarily through providing software solutions for online poker rooms, casinos and the related marketing affiliate programs operated by UIM and its sub-licensees. We earned fees from UIM based upon revenues earned by UIM from its
operations utilizing our software. After the completion of the transaction with BetClic, we operate our gaming software and service business primarily through Everest Gaming, our joint venture with BetClic.

The Internet gaming industry is still at an early stage of development. The very nature of Internet gaming creates new and unique forms
of entertainment that were neither contemplated nor feasible in the past. While many jurisdictions have some form of legal framework applicable to games of chance, few provide clear guidance on how this framework applies to the online gaming
industry. Although governments around the world are increasingly seeking to regulate online gaming, the shifting political and economic landscape subject online gaming industry to significant uncertainties. As a result, it is difficult for us to
assess whether the Internet gaming services provided by Everest Gaming, are in compliance with all laws and regulations of the jurisdictions where it operates.

Everest Gaming operates under two full remote gaming licenses (a Class 1 and a Class 3) issued by Malta Lotteries and Gaming Authority and a license issued by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, subject to
continuing compliance with applicable licensing requirements. Mangas Everests primary computer server operations are located in Malta with certain non-operational components of its business operating from servers in Kahnawake. In accordance
with the terms of the strategic alliance, Everest Gaming has been seeking to migrate all BetClic poker players to the Everest Poker platform creating one of the largest poker player liquidity platforms in Europe. On June 7, 2010,
Everest Gaming received online poker licenses as part of the first grant of licenses in France. In July 2010, BetClic.fr and Everestpoker.fr, sites were approved by ARJEL, the French gaming regulatory authority for the French online poker market.
Since July 2010, all of BetClic French poker players have been able to play on the Everest Poker platform by logging on to the BetClic.fr website and clicking a link. Chips are purchased using BetClics software and may be transferred for use
on the Everest Poker platform. Everest Gaming plans to increase migration between the Everest Poker and BetClic Poker operations by allowing all of BetClics non-French European poker players to play on the Everest Poker platform by logging on
to the BetClic.com website beginning in the third quarter of 2011. The combined user base of Everest Poker and BetClic Poker  both leading brands in France  strongly positions the alliance to capture dominant market share within the
regulated French market, one of the largest in Europe.

U.S. Regulations on Online Gaming

The U.S. government has been of the view that Internet gambling that crosses state boundaries is unlawful. There are basically four laws
that prohibit Internet gambling in the United States at the Federal level  the Wire Act of 1961, the Illegal Gambling Business Act, the Travel Act, and the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA).

Under the Wire Act of 1961, the Department of Justice has prosecuted online gambling operators and payment providers to the online
gambling industry in the United States. The Wire Act makes it illegal to place a wager or a bet via wire transmission. A case out of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals seems to indicate that the Wire Act does not apply to online poker, however the law
is still being debated in this respect. On December 23, 2011, the Office of Legal Counsel of the Department of Justice (DoJ) issued an opinion letter indicating that the DoJ believes the Wire Act only applies to sports betting as
opposed to other forms of online gambling.

The Illegal Gambling Business Act makes it a felony for 5 or more people to
operate an illegal gambling business for more than 30 days or one whose earnings meet or exceed a certain minimum amount of money. An illegal gambling business is one which is a gambling business that is operating in
violation of the law of a particular state.

The Travel Act provides that 1) any person who travels in interstate commerce; or
2) any use of a facility in interstate commerce for the purposes of operating an illegal gambling business is guilty of a felony. An illegal gambling business is one which is a gambling business that is operating in violation
of the law of a particular state.

Effective October 13, 2006, the UIGEA prohibits the use of communication facilities
and financial transactions in connection with Internet gambling by restricting the payment methods for such activities and by imposing criminal penalties on Internet gambling businesses which accept wagers or payment in violation of such
restrictions. The UIGEA criminalizes any gambling business which arises from using a communication facility to transmit bets or wagers, or to transmit information assisting in the placing of bets and wagers, to or from the United States, and
prevents gambling businesses from accepting credit cards or other bank instruments in connection with illegal Internet gambling. The UIGEA also directs various federal agencies to implement regulations that would require financial institutions with
electronic payment systems to establish policies and procedures to identify and block unlawful Internet gambling transactions, and creates judicial procedures through which federal agencies could obtain injunctions directing interactive computer
services to remove or disable access to online sites that violate the law. The United States Treasury drafted UIGEA regulations in late 2007 and implemented the regulations on January 19, 2009. Financial institutions were not required to comply
with the UIGEA regulations until December 1, 2009. The UIGEA regulations, however, did not define what specifically constitutes an unlawful Internet gambling transaction under UIGEA. Rather the UIGEA relies on underlying state law to determine
what transactions are illegal for the banks to process.

Under the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate
Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, both U.S. and non-U.S. banks that process online gaming transactions for U.S. persons may face potential criminal proceedings, as U.S. jurisdiction extends to non-U.S. banks that have
correspondent accounts in the United States. Internet gambling activity also constitutes illegal gambling activity in most U.S. states, including those states where other forms of gambling are legal.

Two separate bills to regulate online gambling in the U.S. were proposed in 2011. One bill, a proposal to regulate both online poker and
online casino was sent to a congressional committee, but never received a hearing. Another bill, a proposal to regulate online poker only, has seen a congressional committee hearing, but was not passed out of committee. Many of the major land-based
casinos have been lobbying at the Federal Level in an effort to persuade Congress to regulate online poker, but as of yet no firm data exists which would indicate a specific timeline for Federal regulation of the online gaming industry.

Several states have proposed bills to legalize online gambling, in one form or another, on an intra-state basis. As of yet, Nevada is the
only state to have legalized and implemented regulations and a licensing regime for online gaming. Nevada is expected to begin accepting applications from online gaming operators as early as the first half of 2012 and issuing licenses in the second
half of 2012. The first bets online under the Nevada online gaming licenses are expected to occur in December 2012 or January 2013.

Regulatory Environment in Europe

According to the Report on
Integrity of Online Gambling by the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection of European Parliament, dated February 17, 2009, the European online gambling markets are regulated and the regulatory frameworks for the online
gambling market in the European Union (EU) member states are very much heterogeneous. This remains true today.

##### Table of Contents

Several European countries have introduced regulatory frameworks for online gaming.

Spain has promulgated a regulatory framework on online gaming. The Spanish government has delayed implementation of the
online gaming regulations and the issuance of licenses. It is expected that the Spanish regulations will be implemented and take effect in the second half of 2012.

Italy has recently introduced a new set of regulations on online gaming. Italy, while initially a poker-only jurisdiction, has set forth a regulatory regime for casino. Everest Gaming has not pursued a
license in Italy, and has ceased all Italian-facing operations.

France issued a license to Everest Gaming for online poker in
June 2010. Online casino is widely seen as being prohibited under the French law and Everest Gaming has stopped offering online casino gaming to people in France.

Many European countries, where there are state-owned gaming monopolies, have taken actions or introduced legislation aimed at banning foreign online gaming operators, which could have a material adverse
effect on Everest. Such actions were in contrast with rulings from the European Court of Justice and have prompted the European Commission (EC) to explore the possibility of creating new legislation that could harmonize online gaming
within the EU, in line with the EUs principles regarding the European single market.

The Belgian government has issued
and implemented online gaming regulations despite advice from the European Commission that the regulations as written are not compliant with EU law. The Belgian government has placed a number of operators on a Black List and is rumored
to be pressuring ISPs and banks from blocking website access and payment processing in Belgium.

Denmark has also passed
online gaming regulations and has implemented a licensing regime whereby online operators can apply for a license, and if granted, online operators may accept wagers from players in Denmark. Everest Gaming has chosen not to pursue a license in
Denmark.

The Netherlands has confirmed that a licensing regime for online gaming licenses will be put in place, but a
timetable for implementation has not been decided. We are currently working with the Dutch government to understand the regulations and procedures that will be put in place for obtaining a license in the Netherlands. The Dutch government, however,
has no immediate plan to accept operator license applications and has indicated that it will issue a Black List of operators who are operating in violation of current Dutch law.

In Germany, a new Interstate Gambling Treaty was proposed in 2011 which would prohibit online operators from obtaining a license in
Germany or taking online wagers from German players. The EC has stated that the new Interstate Gambling Treaty is not compliant with EU law, and one länder, Schleswig-Holstein, has passed a law whereby online operators can apply for a license
and accept players from Germany under that license. As of March 30, 2012, no licenses have been issued.

For additional
information on the regulatory environment relating to online gaming, see Item 3, Key Information  D. Risk Factors  Risks Related to our Business and Industries  The uncertain global legal and regulatory environment could
have a negative impact on the Everest Gaming business and prospects.

Regulations Relating to Online Games in
Singapore

Presently, there are no laws in Singapore which specifically govern the provision of online gaming. However,
depending on the type of games offered and services rendered as part of our online gaming operations, the operations may be subject to regulation under various Singapore legislation. Relevant legislation includes:



| |  |  | the Broadcasting Act (Chapter 28) of Singapore (the Broadcasting Act) and its subsidiary legislation, which regulates, inter alia, the
operation of Internet websites;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Telecommunications Act (Chapter 323) of Singapore (the Telecommunications Act) and its subsidiary legislation, which regulates the
operation of telecommunications systems and the provision of telecommunications services; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the Common Gaming Houses Act (Chapter 49) of Singapore (the CGH Act) and the Betting Act (Chapter 21) of Singapore (the Betting
Act) and subsidiary legislation, which regulate, inter alia, gaming and lotteries.

Broadcasting Act

The Broadcasting Act provides for the general legal framework to regulate media and Internet content and empowers the Media Development Authority (MDA) of Singapore with the authority to grant
licenses and to regulate and monitor licensees in relation to such media and Internet content. In particular, section 8 of the Broadcasting Act provides that no person shall provide any licensable broadcasting service in or from Singapore
without a broadcasting license granted by the Authority (MDA). A licensable broadcasting service is defined in the Broadcasting Act to include computer on-line services.

The MDA also regulates online services through the Broadcasting (Class License) Notification (the BCLN). Under the BCLN, VAN
computer on-line services (as defined in the BCLN) and computer on-line services that are provided by Internet Content Providers and Internet Service Providers (as such terms are defined in the BCLN) are deemed automatically licensed, and the
licensees under the class license must comply with the conditions of the class license under the BCLN. The definition of Internet Content Provider under the BCLN includes any corporation or group of individuals, whether registrable or
incorporated under the laws of Singapore, who provides any programme on the World Wide Web through the Internet. A programme is defined under the Broadcasting Act to mean, broadly, any matter the primary purpose of which is to entertain, educate or
inform all or part of the public, or any advertising whether commercial or not, excluding any matter that is wholly related to or connected with any private communication.

Pursuant to the BCLN, a licensee must use its best efforts to ensure that its service complies with the codes of practice which may be issued by the MDA from time to time (including the Internet Code of
Practice), and is not used for any purpose and does not contain any programme that is against the public interest, public order, national harmony or offends against good taste or decency. Further, licensees must also ensure that its services are not
used for, or in furtherance of, certain prohibited activities such as games and lotteries the conduct of which is an offence under the CGH Act, the advertisement or promotion of astrology, geomancy, palmistry or any other type of fortune telling
device or the solicitation of prostitution or any other immoral activity.

Under the Internet Code of Practice issued by the
MDA, an Internet Content Provider is required to ensure that it does not broadcast via the Internet to users in Singapore, programs which include material that is objectionable on the grounds of public interest, public morality, public order, public
security, national harmony or is otherwise prohibited by applicable Singapore laws (prohibited materials). The Internet Content Provider is also required to deny access to such prohibited materials that he discovers in the normal course
of exercising editorial duties, or is informed about.

Telecommunications Act

The provision and operation of telecommunication services and systems in Singapore is regulated by the Telecommunications Act, which
provides the general legal framework for the provision and operation of telecommunication systems and services in Singapore.

Under the Telecommunications Act, all persons who, inter alia, establish, install, maintain, develop or hire a telecommunication system
or service within Singapore must be licensed by the Info-communications Development Authority (IDA) of Singapore. A telecommunication system is defined as any system used or intended to be used for telecommunications, and
telecommunication service is defined as any service for telecommunications but excludes any broadcasting service. Telecommunications is defined as a transmission, emission or reception of signs, signals, writing, images, sounds or intelligence of
any nature by wire, radio, optical or other electro-magnetic systems whether or not such signs, signals, writing, images, sounds or intelligence have been subject to rearrangement, computation or other processes by any means in the course of their
transmission, emission or reception.

The existing telecommunications licensing framework provides for two broad categories of
licenses  facilities based operator (FBO) licenses and services based operator (SBO) licenses. SBO licenses are, in turn, granted either on an individual or class license basis.

Pursuant to IDAs published guidelines, the telecommunications services which are provided as licensable under an SBO license
include store-and-retrieve value-added network services, examples of which include any online information and database retrieval services, online games or electronic chatting services, provided by telecommunication systems, built over and above the
telecommunication systems operated by an FBO and accessed through public telecommunication systems or leased circuits, which allow telecommunication traffic between a user and the value-added network or between users.

CGH Act and Betting Act

Depending on the type of games and services being offered, the online gaming operations may also be regulated by the CGH Act and the Betting Act. Generally, the CGH Act and the Betting Act prohibit the
operation and patronization of unlicensed common gaming and betting houses as well as ancillary acts. In addition, the CGH Act prohibits the operation of and participation in a public lottery. The offences are wide-ranging in nature and encompass
acts by the owner of the website, the player and assisting parties.

The CGH Act generally prohibits the engaging in gaming
activities and arguably applies to gaming activities carried out online. In particular, the CGH Act prohibits, among other things, the following: (i) gaming in a common gaming house (as such term is defined in the CGH Act) or a
public place; (ii) participation or assistance in any public lottery; (iii) advancing or furnishing money for the purpose of establishing or conducting the business of a common gaming house; and (iv) assisting in any manner in the
management of a place kept or used as a common gaming house. Under the CGH Act, gaming is defined as the playing of any game of chance or of mixed chance and skill for money or moneys worth. Lottery includes any game,
method, device, scheme or competition whereby money or moneys worth is distributed or allotted in any manner depending upon or to be determined by chance or lot, whether the same is held, drawn, exercised or managed within or without
Singapore. A public lottery is defined as a lottery to which the public or any class of the public has or may have access, and every lottery shall, until the contrary is proved, be deemed to be a public lottery.

The Betting Act generally prohibits betting or wagering on any event or contingency of or relating to any horse-race or any other race,
fight, game, sport or exercise, and would arguably also apply where such betting or wagering is conducted online. In particular, the Betting Act prohibits, inter alia, the following: (i) betting or wagering in a common betting-house
or with a bookmaker (as such terms are defined in the Betting Act) in any place or by any means; (ii) the receipt (directly or indirectly) of any money or valuable thing for or in respect of any bet or wager on any such event or
contingency in a common betting-house or betting information centre (as defined in the Betting Act); (iii) the advancing or furnishing of money for the purpose of establishing or conducting the business of a common betting-house;
and (iv) assisting in any manner in the management or in the business of a place kept or used as a common betting-house or betting information centre.

Dividends from Our Subsidiaries

Under Singapore tax regulations,
foreign-sourced dividend income used for capital expenditures, including investments, and repayment of borrowings, is not deemed as remitted to Singapore and is therefore not taxable.

Listing and Offering

Under NASDAQ Rule 4350(l), as amended (Rule 4350(1)), all securities listed on NASDAQ must be eligible for a direct registration program, or DRS, operated by a registered clearing agency,
unless the foreign private issuer is prohibited from complying by a law or regulation in its home country. In order to fulfill the direct registration program eligibility requirements, we are required to, among other provisions, amend our
constitutional documents to allow for the issue of non-certificated securities.

Our Company is incorporated under the laws of
the Republic of Singapore and is subject to the provisions of the Companies Act (Cap.50) of Singapore (the Companies Act). Under the Companies Act, Singapore-incorporated companies are required to issue physical share certificates to
registered shareholders as prima facie evidence of a registered shareholders title to the Shares and there are no exceptions to or exemptions from this requirement that would enable us to amend our constitutional documents to allow for the
issue of non-certificated shares. Therefore, we are not able to comply with the DRS eligibility provisions of Rule 4350(l).

Under the DRS eligibility provisions, as a foreign private issuer, we are allowed to follow our home country practice in lieu of the
requirements set out in Rule 4350(1), subject to certain exceptions. We will be relying on this for an exemption from the DRS eligibility requirements under Rule 4350(l). We have informed the NASDAQ Stock Market about our election to comply with the
laws of Singapore in lieu of the DRS eligibility provisions of Rule 4350(l).

Overview

We are a holding company. We operate two principal businesses through our subsidiaries and equity method investees:



| |  |  | Our Asian online game and service business operates a portfolio of online games, primarily targeting online game players across Asia, including
Greater China and Southeast Asia.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Gaming software and service business, of which we retain a 40 percent equity interest, develops and licenses online poker, casino, and sports
betting gaming software solutions and application services, primarily targeting continental European markets.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2011, we recorded total operating revenues of approximately US$34.4 million, a decrease of approximately US$30.3 million
year-over-year, primarily from a decrease of approximately US$25.8 million resulting from our sale of a 60 percent interest and subsequent deconsolidation in our gaming software and service business and a decrease of approximately US$4.5 million in
our Asian online game and service business. Our total costs and expenses decreased by approximately US$53.9 million year-over-year to US$58.5 million. We recorded operating loss of approximately US$24.1 million, a decrease of approximately US$23.6
million year-over-year. We recognized net loss attributable to us of approximately US$71.2 million, a decline of approximately US$73.9 million year-over-over.

Asian Online Game and Service Business.We operate our Asian online game and service business in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau through FunTown, in the PRC through Shanghai JIDI and in Southeast Asia
through IAHGames. We acquired FunTown in January 2006 and consolidated the financial results of FunTown into our consolidated financial statements starting from January 1, 2006. We established our VIE, Shanghai JIDI in December, 2010 and
effectively control Shanghai JIDI through a series of contractual arrangements. We consolidated the financial results of Shanghai JIDI into our consolidated financial statements starting from January 1, 2011. We increased our ownership
percentage in IAHGames to 80 percent through the acquisition of certain preferred shares and the subscription for new preferred shares and have consolidated IAHGames financial results into our consolidated financial statements starting from
July 1, 2010.

In 2011, our Asian online game and service business generated revenue of approximately US$34.4 million,
gross profit of approximately US$19.1 million, operating loss of approximately US$15.1 million, non-operating income of approximately US$502 thousand, and net loss attributable to us of approximately US$15.4 million.

In addition to our majority-controlled subsidiaries, we also entered into strategic alliances with SoftStar, Neostorm, XL Games, Access
China, Gorilla Banana Entertainment, JC Entertainment Corporation, Possibility Space Incorporated, and East Gate in June 2007, October 2007, December 2007, January 2008, May 2009, September 2009, December 2009, and
August 2010, respectively. SoftStar is an online game development and publishing company incorporated in Taiwan. Neostorm was formed by the merger of four previously independent game development studios, and operates titles currently in the
Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. Neostorm focuses on medium-core casual game titles and is also developing smartphone versions of their existing game titles. XL Games was founded by the creator of one of the most popular online game franchises in
history and focuses on MMORPGs with studios in Seoul, South Korea and Austin, Texas. Access China is an online game software developer in the PRC. Gorilla Banana Entertainment is an online game software developer in Korea. JC Entertainment
Corporation is a publicly-listed company which develops online games in Korea. Possibility Space Incorporated is an online game software developer in the PRC. East Gate is a Korean fund which invests in online game businesses and films.

Online casual game operators in Greater China and Southeast Asia are currently our primary competitors. We also compete with MMORPG
operators throughout Greater China and Southeast Asia. Given the low barriers to entry in the online game industry and the increasing popularity of Internet-based businesses, there are a large number of potential competitors scattered throughout
many different segments of the software and Internet industries. In addition to the aforementioned competitors, traditional entertainment service providers and other entities, many of which have significant financial resources and name brand
recognition, may provide online game services in the future, and thus become our competitors.

Faced with our known
competitors, and most likely several new competitors which may be established in the near future, we will continue to improve the principal competitive factors that we believe can differentiate our product offerings from those offered by our
competitors, including: brand, technology, financial stability and resources, proven track record, independent oversight and transparency of business practices in our industry.

Gaming Software and Service Business.Until April 8, 2010, we operated our
gaming software and service business through our subsidiary, CESL, and through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cambridge Interactive Development Corporation and Internet Media Licensing Limited. Under the terms of the licenses granted by us to UIM,
we were entitled to a share of the revenues of such licensee, and as such, we had certain economic risks with respect to, and derived certain economic benefits from, their operations. Therefore, through March 31, 2010, the financial results of
UIM were incorporated into our consolidated financial statements as UIM met the criteria of a variable-interest entity (VIE) as defined by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. See  A. Operating Results  Certain
Significant Events Affecting Our Results of Operations for 2009, 2010 and 2011  Consolidation of UIM.

On
April 8, 2010, we sold a 60 percent interest in our gaming software and service business to Mangas Gaming S.A.S., a French Corporation, now renamed as BetClic Everest Group, and deconsolidated the gaming software and service business as we
ceased to have a controlling financial interest from that date. The remaining 40 percent ownership interest that we retained in the gaming software and service business has been accounted for under the equity method accounting starting from April
2010. See note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information. See Item 4 Information on the Company  B. Business Overview  Gaming Software and Services Business  Terms of our joint venture with
BetClic regarding Everest Gaming for more information.

Our remaining 40 percent ownership in gaming software and
service business, now accounted for under the equity method, generated equity loss of approximately US$49.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Certain Significant Events Affecting Our Results of Operations for 2009, 2010 and 2011

Divestiture of Gaming Software and Service Business

On
December 15, 2009, we entered into an agreement with BetClic to sell 60 percent of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of our gaming software and service business for approximately US$100 million in cash, subject to certain
adjustments. The closing of the sale occurred on April 8, 2010. The sale resulted in the recognition of a gain of US$79.1 million, net of transaction costs. The sale of the remaining 40 percent is subject to a put and call mechanism in place
between us and BetClic, as defined in the agreement. We will have the option to put all or part of its remaining 40 percent to BetClic in each of 2013, 2014, and 2015 at a value considering all relevant facts and circumstances after the end of each
year. If the put option owned by us is not fully exercised, BetClic will have the option to call the remaining interest held by us in each of 2015 and 2016.

We deconsolidated the gaming software and service business and recognized a gain when we completed the sale of 60 percent of substantially all of the assets and liabilities to BetClic on April 8,
2010, which was the date that the Company ceased to have a controlling financial interest. The remaining 40 percent ownership interest that we retained in the gaming software and service business has been accounted for under the equity method
accounting starting from April 2010. In 2010 and 2011, we recorded for the remaining 40 percent interest US$9.8 million and US$49.7 million of equity loss for the period from April to December 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2011,
respectively.

Our Company accounted for the deconsolidation of the gaming software and service business at fair value and
recognized a gain of US$79.1 million in 2010 measured as the difference between:

Acquisition of IAHGames

In July 2010, we began consolidating IAHGames, an online game operator, publisher and distributor in Southeast Asia. We acquired IAHGames
in order to enhance our position in the online game market in Southeast Asia and strengthen our online entertainment product portfolio. This primary factor among others, contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair market value of the net
tangible assets and intangible assets acquired.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, we owned 5,982,230 Class A
preferred shares and 1,208,881 Class B preferred shares of IAHGames, which represents a controlling financial interest of 80 percent of the total outstanding voting rights of IAHGames. The preferred shares (Class A) are convertible into ordinary
shares of IAHGames at a conversion rate of 10 Class A shares for 1 ordinary share. The preferred shares (Class B) are convertible into ordinary shares of IAHGames at a conversion rate of 1 Class B share for 1 ordinary share.

In connection with the step acquisitions through July 2010, we recorded

Consolidation of Monsoon

We, through IAHGames,
made an equity investment in Monsoon, an operator and distributor of online games in Southeast Asia, in connection with our acquisition of a controlling financial interest in IAHGames with effect from July 1, 2010. In connection with a
strategic alliance, Monsoon entered into various agreements with Blizzard to distribute selected Blizzard
Entertainment® games in Southeast Asia (collectively referred to as the Distribution Partnership).
Although IAHGames owns 100 percent of the common stock of Monsoon, Monsoon was not consolidated at the time of the acquisition as Blizzard had substantive participating rights in Monsoons business operations pursuant to Monsoons
management agreement. In September 2011, IAHGames, Monsoon and Blizzard entered into an agreement whereby they agreed to the early termination of the Monsoon management agreement and other related agreements which granted Blizzard the abovementioned
substantive participating rights. The termination agreement was effective from August 31, 2011. Starting from September 1, 2011, IAHGames had effective control over Monsoon and therefore we have consolidated Monsoon since that date.

The agreement was effective from the third quarter of 2011. In January 2012, IAHGames and Monsoons commitments
under the Distribution Partnership with Blizzard were fully terminated. The execution and closing of this agreement resulted in the following main financial statement impacts:

Treatment of Shanghai JIDI

In order to comply with foreign ownership restrictions and to hold the necessary licenses required, we operate our Asian online game and service business in the PRC through our VIE, Shanghai JIDI. We have
no ownership interest in Shanghai JIDI and rely on a series of contractual arrangements that are intended to give us effective control over Shanghai JIDI. Those contractual arrangements have been duly executed and the share pledge agreements have
been registered with the local government authority in compliance with PRC legal requirements. We effectively control Shanghai JIDI, and are therefore the primary beneficiary of Shanghai JIDI. Shanghai JIDI was established in December 2010. Shanghai
JIDI holds an ICP license, an Internet cultural operation license and an Internet publishing license. The financial results of Shanghai JIDI have been included in our consolidated financial statements since January 2011.

The net assets (liabilities), total assets and total liabilities of Shanghai JIDI were approximately

Deconsolidation of T2CN

In June 2007, we began consolidating T2CN, an operator and provider of online sports games in the PRC. As of December 31, 2010 and December 13, 2011, we owned 43,633,681 common shares of T2CN,
which represented an ownership interest of 67.09 percent of the total outstanding voting rights of T2CN. We disposed of all of our ownership interest in T2CN in December 2011 through a sale to a third party.

As a result of a dispute with T2CNs former Chief Executive Officer, arising in July 2010, we had been prevented from obtaining
access to the assets and financial information necessary to report the financial results of T2CN. Therefore, we had effectively lost control over a majority of T2CNs assets and its financial reporting process of that time. In spite of owning
67.09 percent of T2CNs common stock, we deconsolidated T2CNs results with effect from July 1, 2010. The following is a breakdown of our retained investment at the date of deconsolidation.



|                                    |  |                           |         |

In connection with our year-end financial reporting process, we were required to perform an impairment
analysis for the Companys investment in and advances to the T2CN Operating Entities as of December 31, 2010. Given we had been prevented from obtaining the financial information necessary to report the financial results of T2CN, and we
had effectively lost control over a majority of T2CNs assets and its financial reporting process, we decided to completely write-off both the Companys investment in and its advances to the T2CN Operating Entities in order to properly
reflect our financial position as of December 31, 2010. The impairment charges recorded for the investment and the advances in 2010 were approximately US$22.2 million (after removing the other comprehensive income component of equity related to
T2CN from the Companys balance sheet) and approximately US$1.4 million, respectively.

On December 2, 2011, we
entered into an agreement with Hornfull Limited, and Hangzhou NewMargin Ventures Co. Ltd. (Hangzhou NewMargin) whereby we agreed to sell all of our ownership interest in T2CN to Hornfull Limited and Hangzhou NewMargin agreed to guarantee
the payment and performance of Hornfull Limited under the agreement. On December 14, 2011, the parties completed the sale and purchase of the T2CN shares. Pursuant to the agreement, we sold all of our ownership interest in T2CN to Hornfull
Limited in exchange for a cash payment of US$4.7 million, resulting in a gain of US$4.7 million being recorded in 2011. Hornfull Limited also reimbursed us US$0.8 million in cash for legal fees incurred by us in connection with the T2CN dispute.

Treatment of T2 Entertainment, T2 Advertisement, and Jinyou before Deconsolidation

Pursuant to various agreements entered into among T2 Entertainment, T2 Technology and the equity interest owners of T2 Entertainment,
until June 30, 2010, T2CN, through its wholly owned subsidiary T2 Technology, had effective control over T2 Entertainment and was considered the primary beneficiary of T2 Entertainment. T2 Entertainment was established to hold the necessary
licenses required for the operation of our Asian online game and services business in the PRC. Accordingly, from the date that we consolidated T2CN through July 1, 2010, the date we deconsolidated T2CN (see note 5 to our consolidated financial
statements for additional information), the financial results of T2 Entertainment were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to various agreements entered into among T2 Advertisement, T2 Technology and the
equity interest owners of T2 Advertisement, until June 30, 2010, T2CN, through its wholly owned subsidiary T2 Technology, had effective control over T2 Advertisement and was considered the primary beneficiary of T2 Advertisement. T2
Advertisement was established to hold the necessary licenses required for the operation of our Asian online game related advertisement services in the PRC. Accordingly, from the date that we consolidated T2CN through July 1, 2010, the date we
deconsolidated T2CN (see note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information), the financial results of T2 Advertisement were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

T2 Technology also entered into various agreements with Jinyou and the equity interest owners of Jinyou. Until June 30, 2010, T2CN,
through its wholly owned subsidiary T2 Technology, had effective control over Jinyou and was considered the primary beneficiary of Jinyou. In September 2008, Jinyou acquired an ICP license required for the operation of our Asian online game and
services business in the PRC and the agreements entered into by and among T2 Technology, Jinyou and the equity interest owners of Jinyou became effective. Accordingly, the financial results of Jinyou were included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements starting from September 2008 through July 1, 2010.

As a result of a dispute that arose in July 2010
with T2CNs former Chief Executive Officer, we had been prevented from obtaining the financial information necessary to report the financial results of T2CN, and we had effectively lost control over T2CNs financial reporting process.
Therefore, we deconsolidated T2CNs financial results with effect from July 1, 2010. As a result, we also ceased treating T2 Entertainment, T2 Advertisement and Jinyou as our variable-interest entities. See note 5 to our consolidated
financial statements for additional information.

The net assets, total assets and total liabilities in the aggregate of T2
Entertainment, T2 Advertisement and Jinyou were approximately US$1.6 million, US$18.2 million and US$16.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2009, and US$2.5 million, US$20.9 million and US$18.4 million, respectively, as of July 1,
2010 (the date of deconsolidation). For the year ended December 31, 2009 and the period from January to June 2010, total revenue and net income (loss) in the aggregate of T2 Entertainment, T2 Advertisement and Jinyou recorded in our
consolidated financial statements were as follows:

Consolidation of UIM

Through the date of the sale of 60 percent of the gaming software and service business to BetClic in April 2010, we had a software license
and support service contract with UIM to provide Internet software and support services for UIMs online gaming operations. The contract allowed us to charge UIM a percentage of its gross receipts resulting from UIMs online gaming
operations. The percentage of gross receipts varied depending upon the software and support services provided to UIM. We analyzed our contractual relationships with UIM and determined that we were the primary beneficiary of UIM. As a result of such
determination, we had incorporated the financial results of UIM into our consolidated financial statements, even though we did not own any of UIMs equity. In connection with the sale to BetClic, we purchased 100 percent of the ownership in UIM
from its shareholders for US$400 thousand and adjusted additional paid-in capital and noncontrolling interest by approximately US$178 thousand and US$(578) thousand, respectively. Subsequent to the sale, UIM became dormant.

The net assets (liabilities), total assets and total liabilities of UIM were approximately US$(932) thousand, US$82.9 million and US$83.8
million, respectively, as of December 31, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2009, and the period from January to March 2010, total revenue and net income (loss) of UIM were as follows:



|                  |  |                    |         |   |      |   |        |

Share Repurchase Program

On May 20, 2011, our board of directors approved an US$11 million share repurchase program of GigaMedias common stock. Under
the terms of the share repurchase program, GigaMedia could repurchase up to US$11 million worth of its issued and outstanding shares during the period starting from June 1, 2011 to November 30, 2011. The repurchases could be made from time
to time on the open market at prevailing market prices pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, subject to restrictions relating to volume, pricing and timing. The timing and extent of any repurchases depended upon market conditions, the trading price of
GigaMedias shares and other factors. This share repurchase program was implemented in a manner consistent with market conditions, in the interests of our shareholders, and in compliance with GigaMedias securities trading policy and
relevant Singapore and U.S. laws and regulations. During 2011, repurchases under this program amounted to approximately 5.6 million shares at a cost of US$6.0 million. All of the shares repurchased under this program were cancelled by the end
of 2011.

Impairment Loss Related to Underperforming Game Projects in Our Asian Online Game and Service Business

2010 Impairment Loss

We recorded an impairment loss of approximately US$4.7 million due to certain underperforming game projects and of approximately US$22.2 million due to the deconsolidation of T2CN within our Asian online
game and service business in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 as follows:

1)
US$2.3 million impairment loss on goodwill from the acquisition of IAHGames. The goodwill had a carrying amount of US$12.2 million which was written down to its estimated fair value of US$9.9 million, resulting in the impairment charge of US$2.3
million. Goodwill is valued on a nonrecurring basis when impairment exists, using a discounted cash flow model to determine fair value, incorporating available market discount information, our estimate for liquidity risk and other cash flow model
related assumptions based on unobservable inputs.

2) US$870 thousand impairment loss on prepaid licensing and royalty fees,
which was related to certain licensed games that we stopped operating or for which the carrying amounts were determined not to be recoverable due to lower than expected performances. Prepaid licensing and royalty fees are valued on a nonrecurring
basis when impairment exists, using a discounted cash flow model to determine fair value, incorporating available market discount information, our estimate for liquidity risk and other cash flow model related assumptions based on unobservable
inputs.

3) US$1.3 million impairment loss on intangible assets for capitalized software costs to reflect a full provision
relating to certain projects that we have ceased to further develop.

4) US$278 thousand impairment loss on fixed assets,
which was related to servers used in certain impaired licensed games or internally developed games. Fixed assets are valued on a nonrecurring basis when impairment exists, using a discounted cash flow model to determine fair value, incorporating
available market discount information, our estimate for liquidity risk and other cash flow model related assumptions based on unobservable inputs; and

5) US$22.2 million impairment loss on the deconsolidation of T2CN. Given we have been prevented from obtaining the financial information necessary to report the financial results of T2CN, and we
effectively lost control over a majority of T2CNs assets and its financial reporting process, we decided to completely write-off both the Companys investment of US$22.2 million and its advances of US$1.4 million to the T2CN Operating
Entities as of December 31, 2010. The write off of advances of US$1.4 million was included in bad debt expense.

2011 Impairment Loss

We recorded an impairment loss of approximately US$8.3 million due to certain underperforming game projects within our
Asian online game and service business in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 as follows:

1) US$5.1 million impairment loss on goodwill from the acquisition of IAHGames. The goodwill had a carrying amount of US$12.2 million which was written down to its estimated fair value of US$9.9 million
as of December 31, 2010, and fully written down to US$0 as of December 31, 2011, after reversal of a contingent liability recorded in connection with IAHGames acquisition for US$5.9 million, resulting in an impairment charge of US$4.0
million in 2011, which is included within operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. Goodwill from the acquisition of OneNet Co., Ltd., an investee of IAHGames, with a carrying amount of US$1.0 million was fully written down to
US$0 as of December 31, 2011, resulting in an impairment charge of US$1.0 million in 2011. Goodwill is valued on a nonrecurring basis when impairment exists, using a discounted cash flow model to determine fair value, incorporating available
market discount information, our estimate for liquidity risk and other cash flow model related assumptions based on unobservable inputs.

2) US$619 thousand impairment loss on prepaid licensing and royalty fees, which was related
to certain licensed games that we stopped operating or for which the carrying amounts were determined not to be recoverable due to lower than expected performances. Prepaid licensing and royalty fees are valued on a nonrecurring basis when
impairment exists, using a discounted cash flow model to determine fair value, incorporating available market discount information, our estimate for liquidity risk and other cash flow model related assumptions based on unobservable inputs; and

3) US$2.6 million impairment loss on intangible assets for capitalized software costs and favorable lease right, reflecting a
full provision relating to certain projects that we have ceased to further develop.

Impairment Loss on Marketable
Securities and Investments

As a result of unsuccessful investments in game studios and companies, we recognized
impairment loss on marketable securities and investments of US$4.7 million and US$13.3 million in 2010 and 2011, respectively. The major impairments are listed below:

2010 Impairment Loss on Marketable Securities and Investments



|1) | In 2008, we made an investment in preferred shares of Access China of US$3 million. As a result of deteriorating earnings and inability to meet its projections and
forecasts, we fully wrote off our investments in Access China in 2010.
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2) | In 2010, we made an investment in preferred shares of Possibility Space Limited (PSI) of US$1.5 million, which ceased operations in December 2010. We fully
wrote off our investment in PSI in 2010.
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2011 Impairment Loss on Marketable Securities and Investments



|1) | In 2009 we made an investment in common shares of Numen Soft Co., Ltd. (Numen Soft) of US$679 thousand. As a result of deteriorating earnings and inability
to meet its projections and forecasts, we fully wrote off our investments in Numen Soft in 2011.
|-- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2) | In 2010, we acquired from IAHGames 100 percent of common shares of Spring Asia Limited which owns 30 percent interest in Game First International Corporation
(GFI) in connection with our acquisition of a controlling financial interest in IAHGames. The carrying amount of this investment was US$15.1 million as of December 31, 2011. The investment was written down to its estimated fair value of
US$2.5 million, resulting in an impairment charge of US$12.6 million in 2011.

Subsequent Events

A board meeting of Everest Gaming was held on April 19, 2012 and a 6.4 (US$8.3) million share capital increase was approved.
Everest Gamings share capital is to be increased from 30,906,760 (US$39,997,674) to 36,724,503 (US$47,526,648) by issuing 5,817,743 Class X shares with a nominal value of 1 each. The total share premium associated with the
share capital increase would amount to 582,257 (US$753,522), 0.10 per each new Class X share. The increase of capital is to be fully subscribed by BetClic, the holder of Class X shares, by converting certain receivables due from
Everest Gaming. The board members agreed to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting on April 30, 2012 to have the share capital increase approved by GigaMedia and BetClic as shareholders of Everest Gaming. Upon the completion of the share
capital increase, our shareholding in Everest Gaming will be diluted from 40 percent to 33.66 percent.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are derived from our consolidated
financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. We continually evaluate our estimates and
assumptions, which are based on historical experience and other various factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of
certain assets and liabilities. Our actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the following discussion addresses the most critical accounting policies applicable to our
Company, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the financial condition and results of operations of our Company, and require managements most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to
make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

##### Table of Contents

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of us and our wholly-owned, majority-owned and majority-controlled subsidiaries
after elimination of all inter-company accounts and transactions. In addition, the accounts of our Companys VIEs as defined by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are included in the consolidated financial statements. See note 3
to our consolidated financial statements for additional information. The accounting policies for other less than majority-owned investments are described in note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in the paragraphs headed Marketable
Securities and Investments.

Foreign Currency Translation

The consolidated financial statements of our Company and our subsidiaries have been reported in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities
denominated in non-U.S. currency are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at weighted-average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Cumulative translation adjustments resulting from
this process are charged or credited to other comprehensive income within equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in other income and expenses. Cumulative translation adjustments as of December 31, 2009, 2010 and
2011 were (US$25.9) million, (US$22.6) million, and (US$24.4) million, respectively.

Acquisitions

Our Company accounts for its business acquisitions using the acquisition method as required by the FASB. Under this method, our Company
recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest at their acquisition-date fair values, with limited exceptions. Acquisition-related costs will be generally expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

Our Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery occurs or services are rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably
assured. We present the sales taxes assessed by governmental authorities on our revenue transactions on a net basis in our consolidated financial statements.

Our Company enters into multiple-element revenue arrangements, which may include any combination of services, software, and/or products. To the extent that a deliverable in a multiple-element arrangement
is subject to specific accounting guidance, whether and/or how to separate multiple deliverable arrangements into separate units of accounting (separability) and how to allocate the arrangement consideration among those separate units of accounting
(allocation) for that deliverable is accounted for in accordance with such specific guidance.

In addition to the
aforementioned general policies, the following are the specific revenue recognition policies for each major category of revenue.

Asian
Online Game and Service Revenues

Asian online game and service revenues are related to our Asian online game and service
business that operates play-for-fun games online to players across Asia.

Asian online game revenues are earned through the
sale of online game points, prepaid cards, game packs and also through the sublicensing of certain games to distributors. Virtual online game points are sold to distributors or end-users who can make the payments through credit cards, Internet ATMs
or telecommunication service operators. Physical prepaid cards and game packs are sold through distributors and convenience stores. Proceeds from sales of physical cards and game packs, net of sales discounts, and online game points are deferred
when received and revenue is recognized upon the actual usage of the playing time or in-game virtual items by the end-users; over the estimated useful life of virtual items; or when the sold game points expire and can no longer be used to access the
online games or products in accordance with our published game points expiration policy. Sublicensing revenues from the distributors are recognized based on end-users activation to the game system and when the performance obligations have been
completed.



65



---

##### Table of Contents

We report sales of virtual online game points on a gross basis. In the sales of virtual
online game points, we act as principal and we have latitude in establishing price. Fixed percentage fees retained by service providers for payment processing related to our online game services are recognized as cost of online game revenues. We
report sublicensing revenues on a net basis. In the sublicense agreements, we act as agent and the distributors are responsible for the operating and the marketing.

Asian online game and service revenues also include revenues derived from online advertising arrangements, sponsorship arrangements, or a combination of both. These service arrangements allow advertisers
to place advertisements on particular areas of our Companys websites and online game platforms over a stated period of time. Service revenues from online advertising arrangements are recognized ratably over the displayed period of the contract
when the collectability is reasonably assured.

Gaming Software and Service Revenues

Prior to our sale of a 60 percent interest in our online gaming software and service business in April 2010, gaming software and service
revenues were related to software products we developed and licensed and support services we provided for online real-money gaming solutions and applications. Subsequent to the sale, the remaining 40 percent ownership interest that we retained in
the gaming software and service business has been accounted for under the equity method accounting starting from April 2010; therefore, no revenue directly from gaming software and service business was subsequently recorded.

The results of a software licensee of our Company, UIM had been incorporated into our consolidated financial statements as UIM met the
criteria of a VIE as defined by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. UIM and us were separately owned. See note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information. Our software licensing and support service revenues were
based upon a percentage of gross receipts generated by UIMs online gaming operations, and were recognized monthly. Software licensing and support service revenues we received from providing such services to UIM had been eliminated in
consolidation.

UIM generated revenues by providing and promoting online games of skill and chance that were available on its
free download gaming software. We considered multiple-element revenue arrangements involving UIMs provision of software and software-related elements to customers. UIMs online gaming service was inseparable from the software element
involved and UIM did not sell each element separately. UIMs online gaming service did not involve significant production, modification, or customization of the gaming software. Revenues derived from UIMs online gaming software platform
were recognized at the time games were played and were net of player winnings. Transaction fee revenues derived from UIMs online multi-player poker platform were recognized as services were provided.

As we sold a 60 percent interest in our gaming software and service business on April 8, 2010, we ceased to consolidated its
financial results and no longer had revenue from the gaming software and service business from April 2010 onwards. The remaining 40 percent interest we retained in the gaming software and service business has been accounted for under the equity
method accounting.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues are included in other current liabilities, and consist of the prepaid income related to our Asian online game and service business.

Operating Costs

Operating costs primarily consist of processing costs, online game royalties, bandwidth, production costs for prepaid game cards and game packs, amortization of intangible assets, customer service
department costs, depreciation, maintenance and other overhead expenses directly attributable to our online games.

Prepaid Licensing and Royalty Fees

Our Company, through our subsidiaries (including VIE subsidiaries), routinely enters into agreements with licensors to acquire licenses for using, marketing, distributing, selling and publishing
multi-player online games.

Prepaid licensing fees paid to licensors are capitalized when technological feasibility is
achieved, and amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful economic life of the relevant online game or license period, which is usually within two to five years. The annual amortization is modified if the amount
computed using the ratio that current gross revenues for a game license bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that game license is greater than the amount computed using the straight-line method.

##### Table of Contents

Prepaid royalty fees and related costs are initially deferred when paid to licensors and
recognized as operating costs in the period in which the related online game revenue is recognized.

Fair Value
Measurement

Our Company generally determines or calculates the fair value of financial instruments using quoted market
prices in active markets when such information is available or using appropriate present value or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating adjusted available market discount rate information and our
Companys estimates for non-performance and liquidity risk. These techniques rely extensively on the use of a number of assumptions, including the discount rate, credit spreads, and estimates of future cash flows. See note 10 to our
consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Marketable Securities

All of our Companys investments in marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. These marketable securities are
stated at fair value with any unrealized gains or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within equity until realized.

Other-than-temporary impairments, if any, are charged to non-operating expense in the period in which the loss occurs. In determining whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, our Company
primarily considers, among other factors, the length of the time and the extent to which the fair value of an investment has been at a value less than cost. When an other-than-temporary loss is recorded, the fair value of the investment becomes the
new cost basis of the investment and is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value. Realized gains and losses also are included in non-operating income and expense in the consolidated statements of operations. See note 10 to our
consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Investments

Equity investments in non-publicly traded securities of companies over which our Company has no ability to exercise significant influence
are accounted for under the cost method.

Equity investments in companies over which our Company has the ability to exercise
significant influence but does not hold a controlling financial interest are accounted for under the equity method and our Companys income or loss on equity method investments is recorded in non-operating income or expenses. The difference
between the cost of the acquisition and our Companys share of the fair value of the net identifiable assets is recognized as goodwill and is included in the carrying amount of the investment. When our Companys carrying value in an equity
method investee is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in our consolidated financial statements unless our Company guaranteed obligations of the investee or has committed to additional funding. When the investee subsequently reports
income, our Company will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized.

Unrealized losses that are considered other-than-temporary, if any, are charged to non-operating expenses. Realized gains and losses, measured against carrying amount, are also included in non-operating
income and expenses. See note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts

An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on an evaluation of the collectability of
accounts receivable, and other receivables. An allowance for doubtful accounts is also provided, when considered necessary, for loans receivable. We review the collectability of loans receivable on an individual basis and the evaluation primarily
consists of an analysis based upon current information available about the borrower.



67



---

##### Table of Contents

For those accounts in which a loss is probable, we record a specific reserve. The receivable
is written off against the allowance when our Company believes the uncollectability of the receivable is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized by the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to nine years. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not
amortized. Goodwill is not amortized.

Impairment of Intangible Assets, Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

Potential impairment of goodwill is tested annually or sooner when circumstances indicate an impairment may exist,
using a fair-value approach at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business, which is one level below that operating segment (the component level) if discrete financial information is prepared and
regularly reviewed by management at the segment level. Components are aggregated as a single reporting unit if they have similar economic characteristics. Pursuant to an updated guidance issued by the FASB in September 2011, in connection with our
goodwill impairment test for the year ended December 31, 2011, we first assessed qualitative factors as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test.

Potential impairment of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is evaluated, at the reporting unit level, at least annually, or
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset might not be recoverable from its related future discounted cash flows. Impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amounts and the fair value
of the assets, and is recognized as a loss from operations.

Potential impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill and
intangible assets not being amortized, is evaluated, at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset might not be recoverable from its related future undiscounted cash flows. If such
assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the extent to which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. When impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the asset is
reduced to its estimated fair value, and is recognized as a loss from operations.

See note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Software Cost

Costs to develop our gaming software and Asian online game products are capitalized after technological feasibility has been established, and when the product is available for general release to
customers, costs are expensed. Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed when incurred and are included in product development and engineering expenses. Capitalized amounts are amortized using the
straight-line method, which is applied over the estimated useful economic life of the software, ranging from three to five years. The annual amortization is modified if the amount computed using the ratio that current gross revenues for a product
bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product is greater than the amount computed using the straight-line method.

We capitalize certain costs incurred to purchase or to internally create and implement internal-use computer software, which includes software coding, installation, testing and certain data conversion.
These capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful economic life of the software or its contractual license period, which range from three to five years.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation represents the cost related to share-based awards granted to employees. We measure share-based compensation cost at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award.
Share-based compensation is recognized for the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest, and the cost is amortized on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the vesting period. Our Company estimates the fair value
of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The cost is recorded in operating costs and operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations based on the employees respective function.

For shares and stock options granted to non-employees, we measure the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the earlier of the
performance commitment date or when the performance is completed.

##### Table of Contents

Income Taxes

The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We recognize the tax benefit from the purchase of equipment and technology, research and development expenditures, employee training, and
certain equity investments using the flow-through method. Net operating loss carryforwards and investment credits are measured using the enacted tax rate and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation
allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more-likely-than-not be realized. In assessing the likelihood of realization, management considers estimates of future taxable income.

In addition, we recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be
sustained upon examination. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax effect is recognized at the largest amount of the benefit that has greater than a 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. The interest and penalties are reflected as income taxes expenses in the consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements

In December 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance that modifies the goodwill impairment test. Goodwill is
tested for impairment using a two-step process. The first step is to identify potential impairments by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit
exceeds the estimated fair value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The second step is to determine the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill, measured in the same manner as goodwill is
recognized in a business combination, and compare the implied fair value with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an
amount equal to that excess.



70



---

##### Table of Contents

Updated guidance requires that, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit becomes zero or
negative, the second step of the impairment test must be performed when it is more-likely-than-not that a goodwill impairment loss exists. In considering whether it is more-likely-than-not that an impairment loss exists, a company is required to
evaluate qualitative factors, including the factors presented in existing guidance that trigger an interim impairment test of goodwill (e.g., a significant adverse change in business climate or an anticipated sale of a reporting unit). The
provisions of the guidance became effective for our Company on January 1, 2011. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance that simplifies the goodwill impairment test. For its annual and interim goodwill impairment test, an entity first assesses qualitative factors to
determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described above.
This update is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. However, early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed
as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entitys financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. Our Company adopted the updated guidance for our annual goodwill impairment test in 2011.

In January 2010, the FASB issued additional disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The new guidance requires
more detailed disclosures of the changes in Level 3 instruments and was effective for our Company on January 1, 2011. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, as it only required additional
disclosures.

In October 2009, the FASB issued amended revenue recognition guidance for arrangements with multiple
deliverables. The new guidance eliminates the residual method of revenue recognition and allows the use of managements best estimate of selling price for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE),
vendor objective evidence (VOE) or third-party evidence (TPE) is unavailable. The changes became effective for our Company on January 1, 2011. The amendment did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance which amends the scope of existing software revenue recognition accounting. Tangible products
containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the products essential functionality will be scoped out of the accounting guidance on software and accounted for based on other appropriate revenue
recognition guidance. This guidance must be adopted in the same period that our Company adopts the amended accounting for arrangements with multiple deliverables described in the preceding paragraph. The changes became effective for our Company on
January 1, 2011. The amendment did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Taxation

Our major tax jurisdictions are located in Taiwan, the PRC and Singapore.

The corporate income tax rate in Taiwan is 17 percent effective from 2010. In addition to the corporate income tax rate, all retained
earnings generated beginning January 1, 1998 by our subsidiaries under Taiwan law and not distributed to us as dividends in the following year are assessed a 10 percent retained earnings tax. This rule applies primarily to our Internet access
and service business, which was sold in September 2008 and our FunTown online games portal, whose principal operating entities are incorporated under Taiwan law.

On January 1, 2006, the Taiwanese government enacted the AMT Act. Taxes imposed under the AMT Act are supplemental tax payable if the income tax payable pursuant to the R.O.C. Income Tax Act is below
the minimum amount prescribed under the AMT Act. The AMT rate for business entities is 10 percent. The taxable income for calculating the AMT includes most income that is exempted from income tax under various legislation such as tax holidays and
investment tax credits. For example, gains on disposal of marketable securities from our Taiwan-based entities were exempt from income tax based on Taiwan tax laws prior to the AMT Act. However, such gains will need to be included for the purpose of
calculating the AMT.

The statutory enterprise income tax rate in the PRC is 25 percent unless the entities qualify under
certain limited exceptions. Our Asian online games in the PRC would apply this income tax rate.

The corporate income tax rate
in Singapore is 17 percent, which applies primarily to IAHGames acquired in July 2010.

Discussion of Results of Operations

Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe that the following are the principal factors affecting our results of operations:

Acquisitions and disposals.We have made several significant acquisitions and dispositions of businesses during the past several years, and may enter into additional acquisition and disposition
transactions in the future. Past acquisitions and dispositions have had a significant impact on our results of operations over the past several years, and if we engage in such transactions in the future, the nature, amounts and timing of our
revenues, expenses and cash flows and the nature and amounts our assets and liabilities are likely to be materially affected.

Development of online games and gaming software and service industries. The online gaming and online games industries are in
relatively early stages of development. We believe that our results of operations are likely to be affected by developments in these industries, including:



| |  |  | the development and regulation of these industries;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our adaptation to technological change;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | changing consumer preferences;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | legal development affecting these industries, in particular the gaming software and service industry; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic conditions in the markets where we or our licensees operate.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Competition.All of our businesses are in industries that are extremely competitive. Our Asian online games and gaming software
businesses are characterized by rapid technological change and we face significant and intense competition from online gaming software design houses, application service providers and casual games operators.

Divestiture of Gaming Software and Service Business. As we sold a 60 percent interest in our gaming software and service business
on April 8, 2010, we ceased to consolidated its financial results and no longer had revenue from the gaming software and service business from April 2010 onwards. The remaining 40 percent interest we retained in the gaming software and service
business has been accounted for under the equity method accounting.

For each of our businesses, we cannot assure you that we
will be successful in adapting to technological developments and achieving widespread acceptance of our services before our competitors offer services similar to our current or prospective offerings. As a consequence, we may lose our existing
customers and not expand our client base, which would have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial condition.

##### Table of Contents

The key items included in our income statement are:

OPERATING REVENUES. Our operating revenues consist of revenues from our gaming software and service business, and Asian online game and
service business. Until April 8, 2010, revenues from the gaming software and service business included revenues of UIM, our licensee, from providing and promoting online games of skill and chance. Software licensing and support services
revenues received by our subsidiary, CESL, from UIM have been eliminated in consolidation. As we sold a 60 percent interest in our gaming software and service business on April 8, 2010, we deconsolidated its financial results and no longer had
revenue from gaming software and service business from April 2010 onwards. The remaining 40 percent interest we retained in the gaming software and service business has been accounted for under the equity method accounting. Asian online game and
service revenues are related to our online games business in Asia and are collected through the sale of online game points, pre-paid cards and game packs.

OPERATING COSTS. Operating costs consist primarily of gaming software and online game processing costs, online game royalties, production costs for prepaid game cards and game packs, amortization of
intangible assets, customer service department costs, operational department costs, depreciation, maintenance and other overhead expenses directly attributable to the provision of gaming software and service and Asian online game and services.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses include product development and engineering expenses, selling and marketing expenses,
general and administrative expenses, bad debt expenses and impairment losses.

NON-OPERATING INCOME (EXPENSES). Non-operating
income and expenses consist of interest income and expenses, gain or loss on sales of marketable securities, foreign exchange gain or loss, gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, loss on equity method investments, gain or loss on
deconsolidation of business units, impairment loss on marketable securities and investments, and gain or loss on fair value changes of warrant derivatives.

INCOME TAX EXPENSES (BENEFIT). Taxes include current income tax in various jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries operate and deferred tax expenses related to temporary tax assets or liabilities that
arise due to the timing differences between book profits and taxable profits that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods. Taxes are measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or
subsequently enacted as of the date of the financial statements.

NONCONTROLLING INTEREST. Noncontrolling interest represents
the portion of net income allocated to the non-controlling voting shares of our majority-owned subsidiaries (T2CN through December 13, 2011, Dragongate Enterprises Limited, and IAHGames) as well as UIM, which was consolidated pursuant to the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification through March 31, 2010. In May 2005, IAHGames issued redeemable preferred shares, which are redeemable at the option of the investors, and as such these preferred shares are classified as mezzanine equity
on our balance sheet.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

Consolidated Results of Operations

OPERATING REVENUES. Operating revenues for 2011 declined by approximately 46.8 percent to approximately US$34.4 million from approximately US$64.7 million in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to the
sale of our 60 percent ownership interest in our gaming software and service business on April 8, 2010. As a result, we deconsolidated the results of the gaming software and service business from April 2010 onwards and do not expect to generate
revenue from the gaming software and service business going forward. Therefore, revenue from our gaming software and service business declined to nil in 2011 from approximately US$25.8 million in 2010, which accounted for 39.9 percent of our total
revenues in 2010. Revenues from our Asian online game and service business decreased by 11.5 percent to approximately US$34.4 million, which represented 100 percent of our total revenues in 2011. The decrease was due to a decrease of approximately
US$9.9 million in revenue from T2CN, which was deconsolidated from July 2010. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of approximately US$2.5 million in revenue from IAHGames, which was consolidated from July 2010, and an increase of
approximately US$2.9 million in revenue from FunTown.

OPERATING COSTS. Operating costs decreased by approximately US$5.8
million, or 27.5 percent, to approximately US$15.3 million in 2011 from approximately US$21.1 million in 2010. The decrease in total operating costs was mainly due to a US$4.0 million or 100 percent decrease in operating costs in our gaming software
and service business as a result of deconsolidation from April 2010. The operating costs of our Asian online game and service business in 2011 decreased by approximately US$1.8 million, or 10.5 percent, compared with that in 2010.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit decreased by approximately 56.2 percent to approximately US$19.1 million in 2011 from approximately US$43.6
million in 2010. The decrease in consolidated gross profit resulted from a US$21.8 million, or 100 percent, and US$2.7 million, or 12.3 percent, decrease in the gross profits of our gaming software and service business and our Asian online game and
service business, respectively.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Total operating expenses decreased by approximately 52.6 percent to
approximately US$43.2 million in 2011 from approximately US$91.3 million in 2010. The decrease in total operating expenses was mainly due to a US$21.5 million, or 99.1 percent, decrease in operating expenses from our gaming software and service
business and a US$19.1 million, or 35.7 percent, decrease in operating expense from our Asian online game and service business.

Consolidated product development and engineering expenses decreased by approximately 72.6 percent in 2011 to approximately US$2.0 million
from US$7.3 million in 2010. This decrease was mainly due to the deconsolidation of our gaming software and service business, which resulted in a decrease of US$3.2 million, or 100 percent, in related product development and engineering expenses,
and a US$2.1 million decrease in product development and engineering expenses in our Asian online game and service business.

Consolidated selling and marketing expenses decreased by approximately 50.5 percent to approximately US$10.7 million in 2011 from US$21.6
million in 2010, primarily due to an decrease of US$12.3 million, or 100 percent, in selling and marketing expenses as a result of the deconsolidation of our gaming software and service business. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of
US$1.7 million, or 18.5 percent, in selling and marketing expenses in our Asian online game and service business related to more promotions and activities held for new games launched in 2011 compared to those in 2010.

Consolidated general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately US$11.4 million, or 35.8 percent, to approximately US$20.4
million in 2011 from US$31.8 million in 2010, primarily reflecting a US$7.2 million decrease from corporate headquarter expenses due to less legal fees incurred in relation to our dispute with T2CNs former Chief Executive Officer compared to
that in 2010, and a US$6.0 million decrease in general and administrative expenses as a result of the deconsolidation of our gaming software and service business.

Consolidated impairment loss decreased by approximately US$18.7 million to approximately US$8.3 million in 2011 from US$27.0 million in 2010, resulting from a decrease of US$18.7 million of impairment
loss in our Asian online games and service business. Total consolidated impairment loss in 2011 was composed of a US$2.6 million impairment loss on intangible assets for capitalized software costs and favorable lease right, a US$619 thousand
impairment loss on prepaid licensing and royalty fees, and a US$5.1 million impairment loss on goodwill related to IAHGames. The total consolidated impairment loss in 2010 was composed of a US$1.3 million impairment loss on intangible assets for
capitalized software costs, a US$870 thousand impairment loss on prepaid licensing and royalty fees, a US$278 thousand impairment loss on fixed assets, a US$2.3 million impairment loss on goodwill related to IAHGames, and a US$22.2 million

Asian Online Game and Service Business

After our further investment in
IAHGames in July 2010, we hold an approximate 80 percent of the controlling financial interest in IAHGames and started to consolidate IAHGames financial results in our consolidated financial statements from July 1, 2010 onwards. See
Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects  A. Operating Results Certain Significant Events Affecting Our Results of Operations for 2009, 2010 and 2011 Acquisition of IAHGames.

From July 2010, due to the dispute with T2CNs former Chief Executive Officer, we were prevented from obtaining its financial
information and we effectively lost control over its financial reporting process, therefore we deconsolidated its financial results from our consolidated financial statements from July 1, 2010 onwards. See Item 5. Operating and Financial
Review and Prospects  A. Operating Results Certain Significant Events Affecting Our Results of Operations for 2009, 2010 and 2011 Deconsolidation of T2CN.

Financial results of our Asian online game and service business in 2011 were affected by several factors, including but not limited to
strong competition from an increase of online games offered on social network platforms.

OPERATING REVENUES. Total operating
revenues decreased by approximately US$4.5 million or 11.5 percent to approximately US$34.4 million in 2011 from approximately US$38.9 million in 2010. Such decrease was due to (1) approximately US$9.9 million or 100 percent decrease related to
T2CN in China, which was deconsolidated from July 2010, partially offset by (2) approximately US$2.9 million or 12.5 percent increase related to FunTown operations in Taiwan and Hong Kong, mainly due to successful launch of certain online
games, and (3) approximately US$2.5 million or 42.6 percent increase related to IAHGames operations in Southeast Asia, which was consolidated from July 2010 and contributed a full-year of revenues in 2011.

In 2011, FunTowns operation improved moderately. In spite of a decrease of 14.0 percent in the number of peak concurrent users,
compared to 2010, to approximately 33,000, the number of average monthly active paying accounts was about 75,000, representing an increase of 4.8 percent compared to 2010. The average revenue per paying user (ARPU) was approximately
US$27.01, representing a year-over-year increase of 0.6 percent. The increase in active paying accounts and increase in ARPU resulted in an increase in revenue of 4.9 percent in local currencies or a 12.5 percent increase in revenue if translated
into US dollars. As of March 31, 2012, FunTowns number of registered users was approximately 19.3 million, representing an increase of 12.2 percent compared with 2010.

OPERATING COSTS. Costs of our Asian online game and service revenue decreased by 10.5
percent to approximately US$15.3 million in 2011 from US$17.1 million in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of approximately US$4.4 million related to T2CN, which was deconsolidated from July 2010, partially offset by an
approximately US$1.6 million or 26.2 percent increase related to FunTown operations.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit decreased by
12.3 percent to approximately US$19.1 million in 2011 from US$21.8 million in 2010. Gross profit margin was approximately 55.5 percent in 2011 comparable with 56.0 percent in 2010.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Total operating expenses decreased by approximately US$19.1 million to approximately US$34.5 million in 2011 from
approximately US$53.6 million in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to impairment losses related to T2CN being recorded in 2010.

Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased by approximately US$1.7 million to US$10.6 million in 2011 from US$9.0 million in 2010. The increase was mainly due to increase in
promotion activities for new games launched in FunTown operations and the inclusion of full-year expenditures in IAHGames in 2011 compared to that of the six-month period since its consolidation in July 2010.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses incurred in 2011 increased by approximately US$1.8 million to
US$12.4 million from US$10.6 million in 2010. The increase is mainly due to the inclusion of full-year expenditures in IAHGames in 2011 compared to that of the six-month period since its consolidation in July 2010.

Impairment loss. Impairment loss decreased by approximately US$18.7 million to approximately US$8.3 million in 2011 from US$27.0 million

OPERATING LOSS. Operating loss in 2011 was US$15.1 million as compared to a loss of US$31.6 million in 2010. The decrease was due to the
aforementioned factors. Operating loss does not reflect certain corporate headquarter expenses.

NON-OPERATING INCOME
(EXPENSES). Non-operating income in 2011 was US$502 thousand compared to a loss of US$13.2 million in 2010. The non-operating income in 2011 mainly included a gain on sales of marketable securities of US$5.8 million, a gain of US$4.7 million on
disposal of ownership interest of T2CN, a gain of US$1.8 million on equity method investments in relation to IAHGames, an impairment loss of US$13.3 million on marketable securities and investments and a gain of US$2.0 million on recovery of loss on
termination of IAHGames initiatives with Blizzard. The non-operating loss in 2010 mainly included a loss of US$12.6 million on equity method investments in relation to IAHGames online game initiatives with Blizzard, an impairment loss of
US$4.7 million on marketable securities and investments and a gain of US$2.6 million on fair value changes of warrant derivative issued in connection with IAHGames initiatives with Blizzard.

Gaming Software and Service Business

On April 8, 2010, we completed the sale of a 60 percent interest in our online gaming software and service business to BetClic. From then on, we ceased to consolidate the financial results of the
gaming software and service business. Our 40 percent interest in Everest Gaming is, from April 8, 2010, accounted under equity method. See Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects  A. Operating Results Certain
Significant Events Affecting Our Results of Operations for 2009, 2010 and 2011 Divestiture of Gaming Software and Service Business.

Financial results of Everest Gaming in 2011 were negatively affected by several factors. First, the new ARJEL regulations require player liability to be fully reserved for in separate, fully-funded bank
accounts by game operators, which resulted in an immediate and additional operational cash needs. Second, market conditions in France have been unfavorable, with high taxes and limitations on international play pressuring margins and lowering the
appeal of online poker. Third, several European countries have introduced licensing regimes for online gaming which increased Everest Gamings expense for online game license applications in those countries. As a result, we recorded US$49.7
million equity loss for the remaining 40 percent interest for the year ended December 31, 2011.

approximately US$119.3 million to approximately US$49.8 million from a non-operating income of US$69.6 million in 2010. This deterioration is primarily because we recorded US$49.7 million equity loss for the remaining 40 percent interest for the
year ended December 31, 2011, while recognized US$79.1 million gain from the sale of 60 percent interest in our gaming software and service business, which was partially offset by equity loss of US$9.8 million for the remaining 40 percent
interest for the period from April to December, 2010.

Consolidated Results of Operations

OPERATING REVENUES. Operating revenues for 2010 declined by approximately 59.5 percent to approximately US$64.7 million from approximately US$159.6 million in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to the
sale of our 60 percent ownership interest in our gaming software and service business on April 8, 2010, and as a result, we deconsolidated the results of the gaming software and service business from April 2010 onwards and do not expect to
generate revenue from the gaming software and service business going forward. Therefore, with only one quarter of results consolidated into our consolidated financial statements, revenue from our gaming software and service business declined 77.1
percent to approximately US$25.8 million in 2010, which accounted for 39.9 percent of our total revenues in 2010. Such decrease was also attributable to strong competition in the gaming software and service industry. Revenues from our Asian online
game and service business decreased by 17.1 percent to approximately US$38.9 million, which represented 60.1 percent of our total revenues in 2010. The decrease was due to approximately US$5.5 million decrease from FunTown and approximately US$8.4
million decrease from T2CN, which was deconsolidated from July 2010, which was partially offset by the contribution of approximately US$5.9 million from IAHGames, which was consolidated from July 2010.

OPERATING COSTS. Operating costs decreased by approximately US$15.8 million, or 42.8 percent, to approximately US$21.1 million in 2010
from approximately US$36.9 million in 2009. The decrease in total operating costs was mainly due to a US$16.1 million or 80.1 percent decrease in operating costs in our gaming software and service business as a result of deconsolidation from April
2010. The operating costs of our Asian online game and service business in 2010 was flat compared with that in 2009.

NON-OPERATING INCOME (EXPENSES). Non-operating income increased by approximately US$68.8
million from approximately US$764 thousand in 2009 to US$69.6 million in 2010. This increase is primarily because we recognized US$79.1 million gain from the sale of 60 percent interest in our gaming software and service business, which was
partially offset by equity loss of US$9.8 million for the remaining 40 percent interest for the period from April to December, 2010.

For a reconciliation of business segment results to our consolidated net income attributable to us, see note 29 to our consolidated financial statements.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash generated from our operations, proceeds generated from the disposal of our 60 percent shareholdings in our gaming software and service business as well
as marketable security investments and other assets, bank borrowings, and interest derived from our investments. Our cash and cash equivalents are held primarily in U.S. dollars, RMB and NT dollars. Our policy with respect to liquidity management is
to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents to fund operations and strategic transactions, while placing remaining funds in higher yield investment instruments.

Our future cash requirements will depend on a number of factors including:



| |  |  | the rate at which we enter into strategic transactions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the rate at which we expand our operations and employee base;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing of entry into new markets and new services offered;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in revenues and cost splits with our business partners;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the rate at which we invest in developing and licensing our products and upgrading and maintaining our network and future technologies; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the rate at which we grow and monetize our customer bases.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------

As a result of our operating, investing and financing activities during 2011, the amount of our cash and cash equivalents decreased from
approximately US$71.0 million as of December 31, 2010 to US$64.0 million as of December 31, 2011. Such decrease was primarily attributable to cash used in our share repurchase program, while the operating cash outflows were approximately
offset by investing cash inflows, which mainly consisted of proceeds from the disposal of T2CN and part of our holdings in marketable securities.

The following table set forth the summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

OPERATING ACTIVITIES. In 2011, our net cash used in operating activities amounted to approximately
US$12.4 million, which was primarily due to loss generated from the operations of our Asian online game and service business and payment of compensation previously accrued. In 2010, our net cash used in operating activities amounted to approximately
US$8.9 million, which was primarily due to loss generated from the operations of our Asian online game and service business. In 2009, our net cash provided by operating activities amounted to approximately US$8.6 million. Although we had a loss from
continuing operations in 2009, we still generated positive operating cash flow after non-cash adjustments, such as impairment losses, depreciation and amortization expenses, and stock-based compensation.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES. Our net cash provided by investing activity amounted to approximately
US$11.6 million in 2011. This was primarily due to proceeds from the disposal of T2CN and part of our holdings in marketable securities, totaling approximately US$14.6 million, net of transaction costs, as well as the release of US$2.0 million from
restricted cash, and cash dividends of US$1.9 million received from equity method investee. The cash inflows were partially offset by capital expenditures of approximately US$2.0 million and investments of approximately US$5.2 million in loan to
Everest Gaming. Our net cash provided by investing activity amounted to approximately US$50.0 million in 2010. This was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of a 60 percent interest of gaming software and service business of approximately US$85.7
million, net of transaction costs, which was partially offset by capital expenditures of approximately US$6.1 million, strategic investments in East Gate and PSI of approximately US$6.6 million, as well as the acquisition of additional preferred
shares of IAHGames of approximately US$5.8 million, net of cash acquired. Our net cash used in investment activities in 2009 was approximately US$22.1 million. This was primarily due to capital expenditures of approximately US$14.7 million, and a
strategic investment in JC Entertainment of approximately US$7.1 million.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES. Our net cash used in
financing activities in 2011 was approximately US$6.2 million, US$5.8 million of which was primarily used in our share repurchase program. Our net cash used in financing activities in 2010 was approximately US$12.4 million, which was primarily
repayment of approximately US$12.5 million of short-term borrowings. Our net cash generated from financing activities in 2009 was US$8.4 million, which was primarily due to proceeds from short-term borrowings of US$7.3 million.

As we had effectively lost control over T2CN as a result of a dispute with its former Chief Executive Officer, we deconsolidated T2CN
starting from July 1, 2010; therefore, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately US$12.9 million during 2010.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and expected cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our capital expenditure, working capital, and cash obligations
under our existing lease arrangements and license and other present requirements through 2012. We are seeking to dispose of certain of our investments made in certain game studios in Asia, as well as underperforming assets in the first half of 2012.
The planned disposals are intended to free up approximately US$30 million to US$40 million for investment in new strategic growth initiatives, in line with our turnaround plans.

We continue to seek and review potential merger and acquisition opportunities on an ongoing basis, which may be funded through cash on
our balance sheet, proceeds from sales of investments, bank borrowings or equity offerings. We do not believe that any potential merger or acquisition that we may be engaged in would alter our goal of preserving sufficient cash and cash equivalents
to fund future operations.

Capital Expenditures

We typically finance our capital expenditures through cash holdings. Our gross capital expenditures for equipment, furniture and fixtures, software, intangible assets and other deferred assets were
US$14.7 million, US$6.1 million and US$2.0 million for 2009, 2010, and 2011 respectively. Capital expenditures during 2011 were primarily for capitalized software development and computer hardware equipment for our Asian online game and service
business. Our capital expenditure plans for 2012 will continue to focus primarily on software development and computer hardware equipment for our Asian online game and service business. We may adjust the amount of our capital expenditures upward or
downward based on cash flow from operations, the progress of our expansion plans, and market conditions.

Indebtedness

As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, short-term borrowings totaled US$12.4 million and US$11.8 million, respectively. These amounts were
borrowed from certain financial institutions. The annual interest rates on these borrowings ranged from 0.85 percent to 5.56 percent for 2010, and from 1.30 percent to 7.54 percent for 2011. The maturity dates ranged from January 2011 to March 2011
as of December 31, 2010, and fell in late January 2012 as of December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, the weighted-average interest rate on total short-term borrowings was 1.835 percent and 2.870 percent, respectively.

As of December 31, 2011, the total amount of unused lines of credit available for borrowing under these agreements was
approximately US$28.0 million.

During the period from January 2012 to March 2012, we repaid certain short-term borrowings
totaling US$28.2 million, increased short-term borrowings totaling US$3.3 million, and renewed short-term borrowing agreements totaling US$23.0 million.

##### Table of Contents

We pledged certain time deposits, land, and buildings as collateral for borrowings from
certain financial institutions. The total value of collateral amounted to US$6.3 million and US$4.2 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively, in which time deposits pledged are recorded as restricted cash totaling US$5 million and
US$3 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Dividends From Our Subsidiaries

Under Singapore tax regulations, foreign-sourced dividend income used for capital expenditures, including investments, and repayment of
borrowings, is not deemed as remitted to Singapore and is therefore not taxable.

In accordance with R.O.C. law, an
appropriation for legal reserve amounting to 10 percent of a companys net profit is required until the reserve equals the aggregate par value of such Taiwan companys issued capital stock. As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, the legal
reserves of Hoshin GigaMedia, which represent a component of our consolidated accumulated deficit, were US$3.0 million for each period. The reserve can only be used to offset a deficit or be distributed as a stock dividend of up to 50 percent of the
reserve balance when the reserve balance has reached 50 percent of the aggregate paid-in capital of Hoshin GigaMedia.

Under
PRC laws and regulations, there are certain foreign exchange restrictions on our Companys PRC subsidiaries and VIE subsidiary with respect to transferring certain of their net assets to our Company either in the form of dividends, loans or
advances. Please see Item 3, Key Information  D. Risk Factors Risks Related to Ownership of our Shares.

As of December 31, 2011, our Companys total restricted net assets, which include paid up capital of PRC subsidiaries and the net assets of the VIE subsidiary in which our Company has no legal
ownership, were approximately US$3.6 million.

C. Research, Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

We make investments in research and development to keep pace and remain competitive with technology advancements and product development
relating to our gaming software and service business and our Asian online game business. For the years 2009, 2010 and 2011, we incurred US$14.2 million, US$7.3 million and US$2.0 million, respectively, on research and development activities.

D. Trend Information

Please see Item 3, Key Information  D. Risk Factors and Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects  A. Operating ResultsCertain Significant Events
Affecting Our Results of Operations for 2009, 2010, and 2011 for a discussion of the most recent trends in our operating costs and revenues since the end of 2011. In addition, please refer to discussions included in this Item for a discussion
of known trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that we believe are reasonable likely to have a material effect on our net operating revenues, income from continuing operations, profitability or capital resources, or that would cause
reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

E. Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements

Other than as disclosed in note 27 to our consolidated financial statements, we currently do not have
(a) any obligation under a guarantee contract that has any of the characteristics identified by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification; (b) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar
arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity for such assets; (c) any obligation under a derivative instrument that is both indexed to our Companys own stock and classified in equity, or not
reflected, in our Companys statement of financial position; or (d) any obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by, and material to, our Company, where such
entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with, our Company.

##### Table of Contents



|* | According to our license contracts, the total license fee payable, assuming all milestones or conditions under such license contracts were met, is approximately US$6.3
million. Considering game performance, industry environment and business situation, management determined that certain license fees will unlikely become payable and such amount have not been included in the above table.
|- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The initial minimum guarantees against future royalties and license fees are not required to be paid until the licensed games are
commercially released or until certain milestones are achieved, as stipulated in the individual license agreements. The remaining minimum guarantees are generally required to be paid within three years subsequent to the commercial release dates of
the licensed games.

includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any
securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest. None of our major
shareholders have voting rights different from those of our other shareholders.

through August 31, 2011, after which we began to consolidate Monsoon, was $10.3 million. As of August 31, 2011, the balance of this loan receivable was $3.2 million, after being reduced in connection with absorbing additional losses of
Monsoon. See note 16 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

During 2011, our Company entered into loan agreements in an aggregate of $5.2 million with
Everest Gaming, bearing interest at 3 percent per annum. As of December 31, 2011, the balance of this loan receivable was nil after being reduced in connection with absorbing additional losses of Everest Gaming (as discussed in more detail in
note 16 to our consolidated financial statements) and considering the financial status of Everest Gaming, from which we do not expect to collect all principal and interest. We also reversed the interest recognized previously on these loans and
ceased to recognize interest income going forward.

Information on Legal or Arbitration Proceedings

Class Action

In December 2001, a class action lawsuit was filed in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (District Court) against our Company in connection with the initial public offering of our stock.

The complaint alleged that we violated Section 11 and Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 and Section 10(b)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. In October 2002, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the individual defendants without prejudice. On February 19, 2003, the court issued an opinion and order on
defendants motions to dismiss, which granted the motions in part and denied the motions in part. As to GigaMedia, the Rule 10b-5 claims were dismissed without prejudice, while the Section 11 claims survived the motion. Discovery in the
actions commenced.

In June 2004, plaintiffs and issuer defendants, including our Company, presented the executed settlement
agreement (the Issuers Settlement) to the judge during a court conference. Subsequently, plaintiffs and issuer defendants made a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement. The key terms of the Issuers
Settlement included: 1) the insurers of the issuers would provide an undertaking to guarantee that the plaintiffs would recover a total of $1 billion; 2) the insurers would pay up to $15 million for the notice costs arising from the settlement; 3)
the issuers would assign their interest in certain claims against the underwriters to a litigation trust, represented by plaintiffs counsel; and 4) the plaintiffs would release all of the settling issuer defendants. That is, if plaintiffs were
successful in recovering more than $1 billion from the underwriters, the issuer defendants would not be obligated to pay any additional amounts. If plaintiffs recovered less than $1 billion from the underwriters, the insurers would pay the deficit
between $1 billion and the amount received from the underwriters.

On February 15, 2005, the judge issued an opinion and
order granting preliminary approval to the settlement agreement subject to a narrowing of the proposed bar order as to only contribution claims. On April 24, 2006, the court held a fairness hearing on the proposed Issuers Settlement,
which was subject to the courts approval.

On December 5, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit issued an opinion vacating the District Courts class certification in the six focus cases, which do not include the Company. Because the Second Circuits opinion was directed to class certification in the focus cases, the
opinions effect on the proposed class to be certified by the District Court in connection with the Issuers Settlement was unclear.

##### Table of Contents

On December 15, 2006, the District Court held a conference with all counsel in the IPO
securities class action lawsuit to discuss the impact of the foregoing opinion. In the conference, the District Court agreed to stay all proceedings, including discovery and consideration of the Issuers Settlement, pending further decisions
from the Second Circuit.

On January 5, 2007, plaintiffs filed a petition in the Second Circuit for rehearing and
rehearing en banc regarding the decision on class certification (the Petition). On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit rendered its decision which denied the Petition.

In April, May, and June 2007, the District Court held several conferences to discuss the issues regarding class certification, statute of
limitations, the Issuers Settlement and discovery. In June 2007, a stipulation terminating the Issuers Settlement was submitted to the District Court.

In September 2007, discovery moved forward in the six focus cases, which do not include the Company. Plaintiffs filed amended complaints against the focus case issuer and underwriter defendants and moved
for class certification in those actions. In November 2007, the underwriters and issuers filed motions to dismiss the amended complaints in the focus cases. In December 2007, plaintiffs filed their opposition to defendants motions to dismiss.
In January 2008, defendants filed their reply briefs in further support of the motions to dismiss.

On or about March 26,
2008, the District Court granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss the focus cases. The motion to dismiss was granted only as to claims brought under Section 11 of the Securities Act by plaintiffs who sold their securities for a
price in excess of the initial offering price and by those plaintiffs who purchased outside the previously certified class period.

On April 9, 2008, the underwriters filed a motion for reconsideration of the holding in the March 26, 2008 opinion that the Section 11 claims against the focus case issuer was not time
barred, on the basis that no Section 11 class in that case was certified in 2004. The issuers joined in that motion on behalf of the focus case issuer by letter to the District Court on April 10, 2008.

In December 2007, the issuers filed their oppositions to class certification in the focus cases. In March 2008, plaintiffs filed their
reply brief in further support of class certification. The underwriters and issuers submitted sur-replies in further opposition to class certification on April 22, 2008, addressing issues related to the deposition of the plaintiffs
expert.

As set forth in Plaintiffs Motion For Preliminary Approval of the Settlement and accompanying documents, which
were filed on April 2, 2009, after eight years of litigation all parties to the IPO Cases have agreed to settle the actions on a global basis (the IPO Settlement Agreement). Pursuant to the IPO Settlement Agreement, the defendants
have agreed to pay $586 million in total to settle all 309 IPO Cases, including the GigaMedia action. The agreement to settle was reached after a lengthy mediation followed by months of negotiation to reach agreement on the details. As to our
Companys portion of the settlement payment, our insurance companies are paying the entire settlement amount.

In June
2009, the District Court granted the plaintiffs motion for preliminary approval of the IPO Settlement Agreement. Subsequently, in October 2009, the judge granted final approval to the settlement. Certain objectors have filed notices of appeal
to the United States Circuit Court for the Second Circuit seeking to reverse or vacate the order granting final approval to the IPO Settlement Agreement. However, no briefs have been filed yet with respect to these appeals.

In January 2010, the IPO Settlement Agreement required that the IPO Securities Litigation Settlement Fund (the Settlement
Fund) be treated as a Qualified Settlement Fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.468B-1 and that each transferor of funds to the Settlement Fund provide a statement to the administrators of the Settlement Fund pursuant to Treasury
Regulation 1.468B-3(e) by January 31, 2010. Liaison counsel for the issuers has submitted a combined statement on behalf of all such issuers. Six notices of appeal and one petition to appeal the certified class have been filed and all but two
of the six have been withdrawn. In October 2010, for the two appeals that were not withdrawn, plaintiffs-appellants filed their opening briefs. The opening briefs challenged the settlement on several grounds, including certification of the classes,
the fees, and the expenses awarded to the plaintiffs counsel. On December 30, 2010, the answering briefs were filed, and on May 17, 2011, the Second Circuit issued a ruling on the two remaining appeals, granting the motion to dismiss
one of the appeals, and remanding the other appeal back to the District Court to determine procedural issues relating to standing.

The remaining objector filed an appeal of that decision on September 23, 2011. Plaintiffs moved to dismiss the appeal on October 25, 2011, on the basis of, inter alia, lack of standing. The
remaining objector opposed Plaintiffs motion on November 3, 2011, and Plaintiffs filed their reply brief on October 14, 2011. This last objector in the IPO Settlement Agreement reached an agreement with the Plaintiffs, and on
January 9, 2012, the parties executed a Stipulation of Dismissal, wherein the only pending appeal was withdrawn with prejudice. As a result, the appeals process has now been completed.

We had an insurance policy with American Insurance Group with $10 million of liability
coverage when the class action lawsuit was made. We believe that the insurance coverage is sufficient to cover the liability arising from the settlement and claim.

Action, on or about May 14, 2010. UIM asserted a new claim for fraud in the inducement and abandoned its claim for a preliminary injunction.

Dispute with the former head of Our Asian online game and service
business in the PRC and former Chief Executive Officer of T2CN (Wang Ji)

Due to the dispute related to
our Asian online game and service business in the PRC with Wang Ji, the former head of our Asian online game and service business in the PRC, that arose in July 2010, we had been prevented from obtaining and did not have access to the financial
information of the T2CN Operating Entities. While we were not aware that there had been any disruption to the ordinary business operations of the T2CN Operating Entities, no dividends or service fees had been declared or paid to the Company since
the dispute began.

We believe that Wang Ji had in his possession, among other things, the company seals, financial chops and
business registration certificates of the T2CN Operating Entities. We had filed lawsuits against Wang Ji in the courts of the PRC, Hong Kong, Singapore and the British Virgin Islands seeking to recover, among other things, the tangible property of
T2 Technology, J-Town and T2 Entertainment, including the company seals, financial chops and business certificates. The lawsuits asserted a number of claims, including, among others, breach of fiduciary duty and conversion. In these matters, the
Company was seeking to recover, among other things, the tangible property of T2 Technology, J-Town and T2 Entertainment, including the company seals, financial chops and business certificates, and monetary damages.

On December 2, 2011, GigaMedia China Limited, Hornfull Limited, and Hangzhou NewMargin Ventures Co. Ltd. (Hangzhou
NewMargin) entered into an agreement whereby GigaMedia China Limited agreed to sell all of its ownership interest in T2CN to Hornfull Limited and Hangzhou NewMargin agreed to guarantee the payment and performance of Hornfull Limited under the
agreement. On December 14, 2011, the parties completed the sale and purchase of the T2CN shares. Pursuant to the parties agreement, GigaMedia China Limited sold all of its 43,633,681 shares of T2CN, representing a 67.087% interest in the
company, to Hornfull Limited for a cash payment of US$4,738,588. Hornfull Limited also reimbursed GigaMedia China Limited US$789,765 in cash for legal fees incurred by GigaMedia in connection with the T2CN dispute.

Hornfull Limited and Hangzhou NewMargin are private companies incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and the Peoples Republic
of China (the PRC), respectively.

After extensive deliberation and consultation with its valuation expert and
outside legal counsels, GigaMedias board of directors concluded that the sale of GigaMedias ownership interest in T2CN to Hornfull Limited was in the best interest of GigaMedias shareholders.

On December 2, 2011, GigaMedia, GigaMedia China Limited, T2CN, T2 Entertainment, T2 Technology, J-Town, T2CN Information Technology
(Beijing) Co., Ltd. (T2 Beijing), T2 Advertisement, Jinyou, Pemberley Pte Ltd., Wang Ji, Chiang Hsiang Jen, Lu Ning, and Ji Min entered into a settlement agreement to resolve all civil litigation related to T2CN and the T2CN Operating
Entities in the PRC, Singapore, the United States, the British Virgin Islands, and Hong Kong. The settlement agreement does not resolve any criminal proceedings. On December 14, 2011, the settlement agreement was finalized. As a result of the
settlement agreement, all civil litigation in the PRC, Singapore, the United States, the British Virgin Islands, and Hong Kong have been or will be withdrawn or dismissed.

On December 14, 2011, GigaMedia, GigaMedia China Limited, T2CN, T2 Entertainment, T2 Technology, J-Town, T2 Beijing, T2 Advertisement, Jinyou, Pemberley Pte Ltd., Wang Ji, Chiang Hsiang Jen, Lu Ning,
Ji Min and Arthur M. Wang entered into a waiver and mutual release in which all parties waived all present and future claims, known and unknown, in connection with T2CN and the T2CN Operating Entities.

Transaction with BetClic

Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement among BetClic, GigaMedia Limited, UIM and the Other Parties Named Thereto, dated
December 15, 2009 and Amendment No.1 to Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, dated March 31, 2010

On
December 15, 2009, we entered into a stock and asset purchase agreement with BetClic, UIM and the other parties named in the agreement, under which we agreed to sell 60 percent interest in our online game software business to BetClic, a leading
European sports betting and online gaming group. The strategic alliance with BetClic was structured as a stock and asset sale to a newly-formed French entity, Everest Gaming, in which we received a 40 percent stake. The sale was completed on
April 8, 2010.

As part of and as a condition to the completion of the transaction, we purchased the shares of our
then-major licensee, UIM, all of the material assets of which were sold to Everest Gaming as part of the transaction. We had historically consolidated UIMs assets, liabilities and results of operations in our consolidated financial statements
in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, although we did not historically hold any equity ownership in UIM. UIM was an online entertainment operator that provided online gaming services, including online casinos and virtual
poker rooms. We sometimes refer to our online gaming software business and UIMs business as the Everest Business. For its 60 percent stake in the Everest Business, BetClic made an initial cash payment of approximately US$100
million, which will be followed by a final earn-out payment in 2012 to be determined by reference to the fair-market value of Everest Gaming in May 2012.

##### Table of Contents

We hold the remaining 40 percent of Everest Gaming with a put option to sell all or part of
our share to BetClic. The put option is exercisable in 2013, 2014 and 2015. BetClic holds a call option on any remaining Everest Gaming interests held by us which it may exercise in 2015 and 2016. For both our put option and BetClics call
option, the price paid will be determined based upon the fair market value of Everest Gaming as of December 31 of the prior year, as determined by mutual agreement between the parties or, failing that, an appraisal process.

We have retained liability for certain potential tax claims, if any, and existing liabilities of the Everest Business, and also has
agreed to provide a limited indemnity with respect to breaches of representations and warranties (which generally survive until December 31, 2011) and covenants contained in the purchase agreement.

While BetClic will generally control the day-to-day operations of Everest Gaming, so long as we at least hold 20 percent of Everest
Gamings share capital, we will have approval rights over certain material actions of Everest Gaming, including certain issuances of securities of Everest Gaming, certain acquisitions and dispositions of assets and material changes to the
principal business of Everest Gaming. In addition, so long as we hold at least 10 percent of Everest Gamings share capital, we will have representation on the board of directors of Everest Gaming. BetClic has agreed that it will not acquire
other online poker businesses without first giving Everest Gaming the opportunity to acquire such business, at our discretion, so long as we hold at least 20 percent of Everest Gamings share capital.

transactions, including trade and service related foreign exchange transactions, payment of dividends and service of foreign debts. Conversion of Renminbi for most capital-account items, such as direct investments, investments in PRC securities
markets and repatriation of investments, however, is still subject to the approval of SAFE or its local competent branches.

##### Table of Contents

Pursuant to the above-mentioned administrative rules, foreign-invested enterprises, such as
our PRC subsidiaries, may buy, sell and/or remit foreign currencies for current-account transactions at banks in the PRC with authorization to conduct foreign exchange business by complying with certain procedural requirements, such as presentment
of valid commercial documents. For capital-account transactions involving foreign direct investment, foreign debts and outbound investment in securities and derivatives, approval from SAFE or its local competent branches is a pre-condition. Capital
investments by foreign-invested enterprises outside the PRC are subject to limitations and requirements in the PRC, such as prior approvals from the MOFCOM, SAFE and National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC.

E. Taxation

Singapore Tax
Considerations

Taxation of Dividends Received by Singapore Resident Shareholders

On the basis that we are not tax resident in Singapore, dividends paid by us would be taxable in Singapore if they are received in
Singapore or if they are considered, in the hands of a particular shareholder, to be derived in Singapore (for example if they constitute the income of a trade or business carried out in Singapore).

Foreign-sourced dividends received by a Singapore resident person on or after June 1, 2003 will be exempt from tax if certain
conditions are met. The main conditions to be satisfied for such exemption are that:



| |  |  | the dividends are received from a jurisdiction with a maximum tax rate on the trade or business income of a company of at least 15 percent; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the dividends themselves, or the income from which they are paid, have been subject to tax in the foreign jurisdiction or have been exempted from tax
under an incentive granted for substantive business activities.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The normal tax rate for corporate profits
in Singapore is 17 percent for the year of assessment 2012 and 2013 (i.e., for the income earned in the financial year or other basis period ended 2011 and 2012 respectively). Resident individuals are subject to tax at progressive rates of up to 20
percent.

If our shareholders are corporations, our shareholders will be regarded as being tax resident in Singapore if the
control and management of our shareholders business is exercised in Singapore. For example, if the board of directors of a company meets and conducts the business of such company in Singapore, such company would generally be regarded as tax
resident in Singapore. An individual will be regarded as being tax resident in Singapore in a year of assessment if, in the preceding year, he was physically present in Singapore or exercised an employment in Singapore (other than as director of a
company) for 183 days or more, or if he resides in Singapore.

All foreign-sourced income received in Singapore (except for
income received through a partnership in Singapore) on or after January 1, 2004 by tax resident individuals will be exempt from tax.

Gains on Disposal of Shares

Singapore does not impose tax on
capital gains. However, there are no specific laws or regulations which deal with the characterization of capital gains and hence, gains on disposal of shares may be construed to be of an income nature and subject to Singapore income tax if they
arise from or are otherwise connected with the activities which the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore regards as the carrying on of a trade or business in Singapore. You should consult your tax advisors concerning the Singapore tax consequences
of acquiring, owning, selling or otherwise disposing the Shares.

Stamp Duty

There is no stamp duty payable in respect of the issuance and holding of our Shares. Where existing shares are acquired in Singapore,
stamp duty is payable on the instrument of transfer of the shares at the rate of S$2.00 for every S$1,000 or any part thereof, of the consideration for or market value of the shares, whichever is higher. The stamp duty is borne by the purchaser
unless there is an agreement to the contrary. Where an instrument is executed outside Singapore, or no instrument of transfer is executed, no stamp duty is payable on the acquisition of existing shares. However, stamp duty would be payable if an
instrument of transfer which is executed outside Singapore is received in Singapore.



103



---

##### Table of Contents

Under Singapore law, our directors may not register a transfer of our Shares unless the
instrument of transfer has been duly stamped.

Singapore Estate Duty

Estate duty has been abolished for deaths occurring on or after February 15, 2008.

You should consult your tax advisors regarding the non-Singapore estate duty consequences of your ownership of our Shares.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

The sale of our Shares by an investor belonging in Singapore to another person belonging in Singapore is an exempt supply not subject to GST. Any GST directly or indirectly incurred by the investor in
respect of this exempt supply would be a cost to the investor.

Where our Shares are sold by a GST-registered investor to a
person belonging outside Singapore and that person is outside Singapore when the sale is executed, the sale should generally be considered as a taxable supply subject to GST at zero-rate. Any GST incurred by the investor in the making of such a
supply, if the same is a supply in the course of or furtherance of a business, may be fully recoverable from the Comptroller of GST.

Services such as brokerage, handling and clearing services rendered by a GST-registered person to an investor belonging in Singapore in connection with the investors purchase, sale or holding of our
Shares will be subject to GST at the rate of 7 percent. Similar services rendered to an investor belonging outside Singapore should generally be subject to GST at zero-rate.

U.S. Tax Considerations

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for
U.S. Holders

The following is a discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations for investors in Shares
that are U.S. persons (as defined below) that hold the Shares as a capital asset. This discussion is based on U.S. federal income tax law as in effect on the date hereof, which is subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly on a
retroactive basis. This discussion is for general information only and does not address all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances or if you are subject to special treatment under the U.S.
federal income tax laws, including if you are a:



| |  |  | bank;
| | - |  | -----



| |  |  | broker-dealer;
| | - |  | --------------



| |  |  | financial institution or insurance company;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | tax-exempt entity;
| | - |  | ------------------



| |  |  | person holding Shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion or other integrated investment;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a person owning, actually or constructively, 10 percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a person whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------

This discussion does not address any U.S. state, local or foreign tax, or any U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax
consideration of a holder of our Shares.

##### Table of Contents

As used in this discussion, the term U.S. person means a:



| |  |  | individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation, created or organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision
thereof;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | trust if (1) it is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority
to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (2) it has otherwise elected to be treated as a U.S. person under the Internal Revenue Code.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status
of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding Shares, you are urged to consult your tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences as applicable to you.

You are urged to consult your tax advisor concerning the particular U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax
considerations regarding the ownership and disposition of the Shares, including the application of the passive foreign investment company rules discussed below. Investors should carefully review the discussion below under Passive Foreign
Investment Company Rules.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

Due to the price of our Shares during 2010 and the composition of our assets (in particular, the retention of a large amount of cash and
our significant portfolio of investment securities), we believe that is likely that we were classified as a passive foreign investment company (PFIC), for United States federal income tax purposes, for the taxable year ended
December 31, 2010 and we will likely be a PFIC for our current taxable year ending December 31, 2011 unless our share value increases and/or we invest a substantial amount of the cash and other passive assets we hold in assets that produce
or are held for the production of non-passive income. In general, we will be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year if either (i) at least 75 percent of our gross income is passive income or (ii) at least 50 percent of the value
(determined on the basis of a quarterly average) of our assets produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, cash and other liquid assets are generally classified as passive and goodwill and other unbooked intangibles
associated with active business activities may generally be classified as non-passive. We will be treated as owning a proportionate share of the assets and earning a proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own,
directly or indirectly, more than 25 percent (by value) of the stock.

If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year
during which you hold Shares, and unless you make a mark-to-market election (as described below), you will generally be subject to special tax rules that have a penalizing effect, regardless of whether we remain a PFIC, on (i) any excess
distribution that we make to you (which generally means any distribution received by you in a taxable year that is greater than 125 percent of the average annual distributions received by you in the three preceding taxable years or your holding
period for the Shares, if shorter), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition, including a pledge, of our Shares. Under these PFIC rules:



| |  |  | such excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the Shares;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | such amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we are classified as a PFIC (a
pre-PFIC year) will be taxable as ordinary income;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | such amount allocated to each prior taxable year, other than the current taxable year or a pre-PFIC year, will be subject to tax at the highest tax
rate in effect applicable to you for that year; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than the
current taxable year or a pre-PFIC year.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As an alternative to the foregoing rules, a holder of
marketable stock in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election, provided that the Shares are regularly traded on a qualified exchange. Under applicable Treasury regulations, a qualified exchange
includes a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC or the national market system established under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (i.e., the NASDAQ Global Market). Although we believe that, based on the current level of
trading activity of our Shares on the NASDAQ Global Market, the Shares should qualify as being regularly traded on a qualified exchange no assurance can be given that the Shares will continue to be readily tradable on an established securities
market in the United States. If you make this election, you will generally (i) include as income for each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of your Shares at the end of the taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of the
Shares and (ii) deduct as a loss the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis of the Shares over the fair market value of the Shares at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the amount previously included in income as a result
of the mark-to-market election. Your adjusted tax basis in the Shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss resulting from the mark-to-market election. If you make a mark-to-market election in respect of a corporation classified as a PFIC
and such corporation ceases to be classified as a PFIC, you will generally not be required to take into account the gain or loss described above during any period that such corporation is not classified as a PFIC.



105



---

##### Table of Contents

Because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs that we may own, a
U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such U.S. Holders indirect interest in any investment held by us that is treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes.

The QEF Election, which serves as a further alternative to the foregoing rules, is not available.

Each U.S. person who holds a PFIC is required to file an annual report containing such information as the U.S. Treasury may require. In
addition, if a U.S. person holds Shares in any year in which we are a PFIC, such holder will be required to file Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 regarding distributions received on the Shares, any gain realized on the disposition of the Shares,
and any reportable election.

Taxation of Dividends

Except as discussed above with respect to the passive foreign investment company tax rules, the amount of distributions you receive on
your Shares (other than certain pro rata distributions of our Shares or rights to subscribe for Shares) will generally be reported as dividend income to you if the distributions are made from our current and accumulated earnings and profits as
calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Because we do not intend to determine our earnings and profits on the basis of U.S. federal income tax principles, any distribution paid will generally be reputed as a dividend
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You will include such dividends in your gross income as ordinary income on the day you actually or constructively receive them. The amount of any distribution of property other than cash will be the fair market
value of such property on the date it is distributed. For dividends received in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2013, a non-corporate recipient of dividend income will generally be subject to tax on dividend income from a
qualified foreign corporation at a reduced capital gain tax rate rather than the marginal tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income, so long as certain holding period requirements are met. A non-U.S. corporation generally will be
considered to be a qualified foreign corporation (i) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States which the Secretary of Treasury of the United States determines is satisfactory for purposes of this
provision and which includes an exchange of information program or with respect to any dividend it pays on stock which is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States and (ii) the corporation is not a PFIC and is
not treated as a PFIC with respect to you for the taxable year in which the dividend was paid and the preceding taxable year. There is currently no tax treaty in effect between the United States and Singapore. Although the Shares are currently
tradable on the NASDAQ Global Market, which is an established securities market in the United States, no assurance can be given that the Shares will continue to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. U.S.
corporate holders will generally not be eligible for the dividends received deduction for distributions to domestic corporations with regard to distributions on Shares.

The amount of any distribution paid in a currency other than the U.S. dollar will equal the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency you receive, calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on
the date you actually or constructively receive the distribution, regardless of whether the foreign currency is actually converted into U.S. dollars. If you do not convert the foreign currency you receive as a dividend on the date of receipt, you
will have a basis in such foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss you realize when you subsequently sell or otherwise dispose of such foreign currency generally will be ordinary income or loss from
sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

Holders may generally elect to claim a credit
against their U.S. federal income tax liability for Singapore tax withheld from dividends received with regard to the Shares. The rules relating to the determination of the foreign tax credit are complex, and prospective purchasers are urged to
consult their personal tax advisors to determine whether and to what extent they would be entitled to such credit. Holders that do not elect or are not permitted to claim foreign tax credits may instead claim a deduction for Singapore tax withheld,
but only for a year in which such holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. You will not be eligible for a foreign tax credit for the underlying Singapore taxes on profits paid by us with respect to such dividends.

Sale or other disposition of Shares

Except as discussed above with respect to the passive foreign investment company tax rules, a holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon a sale or other
disposition of our Shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized from the sale or disposition and the holders adjusted tax basis in the Shares. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term (taxable at a reduced rate
for individuals) if, on the date of sale or disposition, the Shares were held by the holder for more than one year and will generally be treated as gain or loss from U.S. sources for foreign tax credit purposes. The deductibility of a capital loss
may be subject to limitations.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

The United States tax compliance rules impose reporting requirements on certain U.S. investors in connection with holding interests of a
foreign company, including our Shares, that is not held in an account maintained by a U.S. Financial Institution. This new legislation also imposes penalties if a holder is required to submit such information to the Internal Revenue
Service and fails to do so. In addition, U.S. individual investors may be subject to information reporting to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to dividends on and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our Shares. Dividend payments
with respect to our Shares and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our Shares are not generally subject to U.S. backup withholding (provided that certain certification requirements are satisfied). U.S. individual investors should consult
their tax advisors regarding the application of the United States information reporting and backup rules to their particular circumstances.

addition, we will not be required under the Securities Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Securities Exchange Act.

I. Subsidiary Information

Not applicable.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss related to adverse changes in market prices, including
interest rates and foreign exchange rates, of financial instruments. We are exposed to various types of market risks in the normal course of business, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.



107

##### Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Risk

Our subsidiaries conduct most of their business transactions in their own measurement currencies; therefore the foreign currency risks derived from operations are not significant. However, we hold some
assets or liabilities in foreign currencies other than measurement currency and the value of these assets and liabilities are subject to foreign currency risks resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates between the foreign-denominated currency
and the measurement currency. We have not used hedging transactions to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations; however, we may choose to do so in the future. For more information on foreign currency translations for our financial
reporting purposes, see note 1(b) to our audited consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-1 in this annual report.

As of December 31, 2011, we had bank deposits of approximately US$9.2 million denominated in foreign currencies other than
measurement currencies of the entities holding such assets. These assets are subject to foreign currency exchange risk. We recorded a realized foreign exchange loss of approximately US$71 thousand and unrealized foreign exchange loss of
approximately US$355 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2011.

As of December 31, 2011, we had
available-for-sale marketable securities and investments of approximately US$49.4 million which denominated in foreign currencies other than measurement currencies of the entity holding such assets. Future fluctuation of the exchange rates could
impact the periodic impairment assessment on other-than-temporary loss of these assets.

Based on the sensitivity analysis of
our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk related our bank deposits and available-for-sale marketable securities which were denominated in a foreign currency other than functional currencies of the entities holding such assets, a
hypothetical 10 percent change in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the underlying currencies of those instruments subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk would result in a change of approximately 3.7 percent in our total equity
as of December 31, 2011.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to interest rates relates primarily to our short-term loans from various banks. The variations in fair value of the marketable securities that we owned as of December 31, 2011 do not
have direct relationship with interest rates changes. As of December 31, 2011, we had no investment in fixed-income or money market investment funds. Declines in interest rates over time will, however, reduce our interest income from our bank
deposits. Increases in interest rates of the loans will increase our interest expenses. As of December 31, 2011, we had approximately US$11.9 million of short-term loans, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.87 percent.
Based on our sensitivity analysis with respect to our short-term loans, we have no significant exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We have not entered into any interest rate swaps, caps or hedge contracts to modify our exposure to interest
rate fluctuations.

We did not include a quantitative tabular disclosure regarding the foreign currency risk and the interest
rate risk. As noted above, we believe that the magnitude of selected hypothetical changes to such market risks on the consolidated financial statements is not significant. However, we cannot assure you that we will not be affected by these risks in
the future.

Other Market Risks

We are also exposed to other market risks, which are mainly derived from our investments. Changes in the stock price, performance or net asset value of the companies that we invested and investment funds
might have significant impact on our financial positions or operating results.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation
of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2011.
There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, in designing and
evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based upon that evaluation, and taking into account the foregoing, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance, that information required to be disclosed by us, in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, was recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis, and these
controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Managements Annual Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting (as defined by Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors and (iii) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control to
future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

##### Table of Contents

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our
assessment using those criteria, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 was effective.

Remediation of Material Weakness

A material weakness is a significant
deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those
responsible for oversight of our financial reporting.

As disclosed in the Companys 2010 Annual Report on Form 20-F, the
Company reported a material weakness that there were inadequate controls in place to address risks related to usurpation of established policies, procedures and control systems related to T2CN which resulted in our inability to exercise sufficient
control over a majority of T2CNs assets and its financial reporting process, which eventually resulted in a significant loss to the Company.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company has remediated the previously reported material weakness in internal control over financial reporting by taking a series of remedial measures, including, among
other things (1) establishing a dedicated team under the supervision of our audit committee to reassess and strengthen the procedures for identifying the appropriate controls over our PRC business units; including a) the process of the
appointment of management to our PRC business units, b) the financial reporting process used by our PRC business units, c) the treasury procedures utilized by our PRC business units, d) strengthening controls over the utilization and custody of the
company chops and legal representative chops of our PRC business units, and e) strengthening the contract review and approval procedures for our PRC business units, (2) strengthening the provisions of employment contracts and the employee
handbook which can effectively govern our PRC employees, (3) establishing policies and procedures relating to monitoring controls over our PRC business units, and (4) strengthening of information and communication and logical access of
financial data between our PRC business units and the Companys management.

The Company has undertaken and completed, as
appropriate, its testing to validate the effective implementation of the remedial measures described above. The Company has also undertaken testing which validates the effective operation of these controls, for a sufficient period of time, to
support its conclusion. In reviewing the results from this testing, management has concluded that the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting we previously reported has been remediated as of December 31, 2011.

Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 has been audited by GHP Horwath, P.C., our independent registered public accounting firm, who has also
audited the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 20-F and, as part of the audit, has issued a report, which appears on pages F-1 and F-2 of this annual report, on the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Certain of the changes described in Remediation of Material Weakness occurred during the year of 2011. Other than as described
above, during the year ended December 31, 2011, there were no any other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS

We have adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 16B of Form 20-F. Our code of ethics applies to our chief
executive officer, chief financial officer and persons performing similar functions, as well as to our directors, other officers, employees and consultants. The code of ethics was amended on December 19, 2005, May 10, 2006 and
February 13, 2009 in order to conform certain provisions in it with our newly adopted anti-fraud policy. The code of ethics was also amended on April 30, 2010 to incorporate non-competition and non-solicitation provisions. The full text of
our code of ethics is available on our website, www.gigamedia.com If we further amend any provisions of our code of ethics that apply to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer or persons performing similar functions, or if we grant any
waiver of such provisions, we will disclose such amendment or waiver on our website at the same address. We will also provide any person without charge a copy of our code of ethics upon written request to our investor relations department at
10thFloor, 392 Ruiguang Road, Taipei 11492, Taiwan
R.O.C., or by e-mail to: Brad.Miller@Gigamedia.com.

On December 19, 2005, our board of directors adopted an anti-fraud
policy for the purpose of preventing fraud schemes, including fraudulent financial reporting misappropriation of assets, any fraud committed by senior management, and information technology fraud. According to our anti-fraud policy, our audit
committee is responsible for monitoring the implementation of our anti-fraud policy and procedures, and an anti-fraud taskforce is assigned by our audit committee to be responsible for the anti-fraud hotline management, risk assessment, complaint
investigation and resolution, and reporting to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and audit committee.

On
May 10, 2006, our audit committee adopted a whistleblower program pursuant to our anti-fraud policy. The whistleblower program enables all employees to know how and when to use the whistleblower hotline and communicate or report, on a
confidential or anonymous basis, without fear of retribution, concerns related to wrongdoings or violations, and ensures that all reported incidents are properly investigated.

On February 13, 2009, the code of ethics was amended to include the anti-fraud taskforces reporting obligation to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer
and audit committee after reviewing our anti-fraud policy, guidelines on fraud risk assessment and whistleblower program annually.

On April 30, 2010, our board of directors adopted a non-competition provision under which all of our employees, consultants, officers and directors may not participate, invest, license, employ or
being employed, or cooperate with any company or entity engaged in a line of business which may be competitive with the business of the Company within three months after termination of their employment of the Company, except in cases where the local
law or the contract states otherwise. The Company may take legal actions against such employees, consultants, officers or directors in the event that non-competition obligations are being violated. An amended non-solicitation provision was also
adopted, under which all our employees, consultants, officers and directors may not, during their employment or within twelve months after termination of the employment, directly or indirectly, solicit, entice, or attempt to approach, solicit or
entice any of the other employees of the Company or its affiliates to terminate the employment.

ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Summary of Significant Differences in Corporate Governance Practices

Our Shares are currently listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market and, for so long as our securities continue to be listed, we will remain
subject to the rules and regulations established by NASDAQ as being applicable to listed companies. Under NASDAQ Rule 5615(a)(3), a foreign private issuer such as our Company may follow its home country practice in lieu of the requirements of the
NASDAQ Rule 5600 Series, with certain exceptions, provided that it discloses each requirement that it does not follow and describes the home country practice followed in lieu of such requirements. In addition, NASDAQ has amended its Rule 4350(a)(1)
to permit foreign private issuers to follow certain home country corporate governance practices without the need to seek an individual exemption from NASDAQ. However, a foreign private issuer must disclose in its annual report filed with the SEC
each requirement it does not follow and the alternative home country practice it does follow.

We are incorporated under the
laws of Singapore. We currently comply with the specifically mandated provisions of NASDAQ Rule 4350. We are currently exempt from the DRS eligibility provisions of NASDAQ Rule 4350(1) as we are not allowed to issue of non-certificated securities
under Singapore law. See Item 9, The Offer and Listing in this annual report. We have elected to voluntarily comply with other requirements of NASDAQ Rule 4350 in all material aspects, notwithstanding that our home country does not
mandate compliance; although we may in the future determine to cease voluntary compliance with those provisions of NASDAQ Rule 4350.

December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. We also have audited the Companys
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The
Companys management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the
accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audit of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could
have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2010 AND 2011

NOTE 1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Business Overview

GigaMedia Limited (referred to hereinafter as GigaMedia, our Company, we, us, or our) is a provider of online entertainment software and services, with headquarters in Taipei, Taiwan.

Through December 31, 2011, we conducted our online entertainment business in two business segments: the gaming software and service business, which
develops and licenses software for online real-money gaming solutions and applications; and the Asian online game and service business, which develops a wide range of online games for the Asian and worldwide market.

In April 2010, we sold a 60 percent interest in our online gaming software and service business to Mangas Gaming S.A.S., a French Corporation, now
renamed as BetClic Everest Group (BetClic). (See Note 6, Divestitures, for additional information.)

The gaming
software and service business develops and licenses online poker and casino gaming software solutions and application services, primarily targeting continental European markets. Through our 40 percent equity investment, the gaming software and
service business offers software solutions for online gaming, which is licensed under a software license and support service contract.

The
Asian online game and service business operates a suite of play-for-fun online games and provides related services, mainly targeting online game players across Asia, including Greater China and Southeast Asia.

(b) Basis of Presentation

The
gaming software and service business does not qualify as a component that may be reported as discontinued operations due to our significant continuing involvement in the component after the disposal transaction. After the sale transaction was
completed in April 2010, we deconsolidated the results of the gaming software and service business and began accounting for the remaining 40 percent interest under the equity method of accounting. (See Note 6, Divestitures, for
additional information.)

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of GigaMedia and our wholly-owned, majority-owned and majority-controlled subsidiaries after elimination of all inter-company accounts and
transactions. In addition, the accounts of our Companys variable-interest entities (VIE), as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. (See Note
3, Variable-Interest Entities, for additional information.) The accounting policies for other less than majority-owned investments are described in Note 1 below within the paragraphs headed Marketable Securities and
Investments.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Consolidated Financial Statements of our Company and our subsidiaries have been reported in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. currency are translated to U.S. dollars at
year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at weighted-average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Cumulative translation adjustments resulting from this process are charged or credited to other comprehensive income
within equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included in other income and expenses. Cumulative translation adjustments as of December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 were $(25.9) million, $(22.6) million, and $(24.4) million,
respectively.

(c) Summary of significant accounting policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the dates of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

General

Our Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, delivery occurs or services are rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

We
present the sales taxes assessed by governmental authorities on our revenue transactions on a net basis in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Multiple-Element Arrangements

Our Company enters into multiple-element revenue
arrangements, which may include any combination of services, software, and/or products. To the extent that a deliverable in a multiple-element arrangement is subject to specific accounting guidance, whether and/or how to separate multiple
deliverable arrangements into separate units of accounting (separability) and how to allocate the arrangement consideration among those separate units of accounting (allocation) for that deliverable is accounted for in accordance with such specific
guidance.

In addition to the aforementioned general policies, the following are the specific revenue recognition policies for each major
category of revenue.

Asian Online Game and Service Revenues

Asian online game and service revenues are related to our Asian online game and service business that operates play-for-fun games online to players across Asia.

Online game revenues are earned through the sale of online game points, prepaid cards, game packs and
also through the sublicensing of certain games to distributors. Virtual online game points are sold to distributors or end-users who can make the payments through credit cards, Internet ATMs or telecommunication service operators. Physical prepaid
cards and game packs are sold through distributors and convenience stores. Proceeds from sales of physical cards and game packs, net of sales discounts, and online game points are deferred when received and revenue is recognized upon the actual
usage of the playing time or in-game virtual items by the end-users; over the estimated useful life of virtual items; or when the sold game points expire and can no longer be used to access the online games or products in accordance with our
published game points expiration policy. Sublicensing revenues from the distributors are recognized based on end-users activation to the game system and when the performance obligations have been completed.

We report sales of virtual online game points on a gross basis. In the sales of virtual online game points, we act as principal and we have latitude in
establishing price. Fixed percentage fees retained by service providers for payment processing related to our online game services are recognized as cost of online game revenues. We report sublicensing revenues on a net basis. In the sublicense
agreements, we act as agent and the distributors are responsible for the operating and the marketing.

Online game and service revenues also
include revenues derived from online advertising arrangements, sponsorship arrangements, or a combination of both. These service arrangements allow advertisers to place advertisements on particular areas of our Companys websites and online
game platforms over a stated period of time. Service revenues from online advertising arrangements are recognized ratably over the displayed period of the contract when the collectability is reasonably assured.

Gaming Software and Service Revenues

Prior to our sale of a 60 percent interest in our online gaming software and service business in April 2010, gaming software and service revenues were related to software products we developed and
licensed and support services we provided for online real-money gaming solutions and applications.

The results of a software licensee of our Company, Ultra Internet Media, S.A. (UIM) had been
incorporated into our Consolidated Financial Statements as UIM met the criteria of a VIE as defined by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. UIM and GigaMedia were separately owned. (See Note 3, Variable-Interest Entities, for
additional information.) Our software licensing and support service revenues were based upon a percentage of gross receipts generated by UIMs online gaming operations, and were recognized monthly. Software licensing and support service
revenues we received from providing such services to UIM had been eliminated in consolidation.

UIM generated revenues by providing and
promoting online games of skill and chance that were available on its free download gaming software. We considered multiple-element revenue arrangements involving UIMs provision of software and software-related elements to customers.
UIMs online gaming service was inseparable from the software element involved and UIM did not sell each element separately. UIMs online gaming service did not involve significant production, modification, or customization of the gaming
software. Revenues derived from UIMs online gaming software platform were recognized at the time games were played and were net of player winnings. Transaction fee revenues derived from UIMs online multi-player poker platform were
recognized as services were provided.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred revenues are included in other current liabilities, and consist of the prepaid income related to our Asian online game and service business.

Operating Costs

Operating costs
primarily consist of processing costs, online game royalties, bandwidth, production costs for prepaid game cards and game packs, amortization of intangible assets, customer service department costs, depreciation, maintenance and other overhead
expenses directly attributable to our online games.

Prepaid Licensing and Royalty Fees

Our Company, through our subsidiaries (including VIE subsidiaries), routinely enters into agreements with licensors to acquire licenses for using,
marketing, distributing, selling and publishing multi-player online games.

Prepaid licensing fees paid to licensors are capitalized when
technological feasibility is achieved, and amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful economic life of the relevant online game or license period, which is usually within two to five years. The annual
amortization is modified if the amount computed using the ratio that current gross revenues for a game license bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that game license is greater than the amount computed using the
straight-line method.

Prepaid royalty fees and related costs are initially deferred when paid to licensors and recognized as operating costs
in the period in which the related online game revenue is recognized.

Fair Value Measurements

Our Company generally determines or calculates the fair value of financial instruments using quoted market prices in active markets when such information
is available or using appropriate present value or other valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating adjusted available market discount rate information and our Companys estimates for non-performance and
liquidity risk. These techniques rely extensively on the use of a number of assumptions, including the discount rate, credit spreads, and estimates of future cash flows. (See Note 10, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information.)

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near to their maturity that they present relatively insignificant risk from changes
in interest rates. Commercial paper, negotiable certificates of deposit, time deposits and bank acceptances with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities

All of our
Companys investments in marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. These marketable securities are stated at fair value with any unrealized gains or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within
equity until realized.

Other-than-temporary impairments, if any, are charged to non-operating expense in the period in which the loss occurs.
In determining whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, our Company primarily considers, among other factors, the length of the time and the extent to which the fair value of an investment has been at a value less than cost. When an
other-than-temporary loss is recorded, the fair value of the investment becomes the new cost basis of the investment and is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value. Realized gains and losses also are included in non-operating income and
expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. (See Note 10, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information.)

Investments

Equity investments
in non-publicly traded securities of companies over which our Company has no ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the cost method.

Equity investments in companies over which our Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not hold a controlling financial interest are accounted for under the equity method and
our Companys income or loss on equity method investments is recorded in non-operating income or expenses. The difference between the cost of the acquisition and our Companys share of the fair value of the net identifiable assets is
recognized as goodwill and is included in the carrying amount of the investment. When our Companys carrying value in an equity method investee is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements unless
our Company guaranteed obligations of the investee or has committed to additional funding. When the investee subsequently reports income, our Company will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not
previously recognized.

Unrealized losses that are considered other-than-temporary, if any, are charged to non-operating
expenses. Realized gains and losses, measured against carrying amount, are also included in non-operating income and expenses. (See Note 10, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information.)

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on an evaluation of the collectability of accounts receivable, and other receivables. An allowance
for doubtful accounts is also provided, when considered necessary, for loans receivable. We review the collectability of loans receivable on an individual basis and the evaluation primarily consists of an analysis based upon current information
available about the borrower.

For those accounts in which a loss is probable, we record a specific reserve in the allowance. The receivable
is written off against the allowance when our Company believes the uncollectability of the receivable is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost,
less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over useful lives that correspond to categories as follows:



|                                        |  |

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the term of the lease or the economic useful
life of the assets. Improvements and replacements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, while ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

In September 2008, we entered into agreements to lease certain of our Companys land and buildings to a third party under operating leases, which were renewed in September 2010, and which expire no
later than September 2013. As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, the carrying amount of the land and buildings under lease was approximately $1.3 million. The rental income under the operating lease amounted to $50 thousand, $41 thousand and $72
thousand for 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. The minimum rental income to be received under this operating lease is $121 thousand through September 2013.

Acquisitions

Our Company accounts for its business acquisitions using the
acquisition method. Under this method, our Company recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest at their acquisition-date fair values, with limited exceptions. Acquisition-related
costs are generally expensed as incurred.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized by the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to nine years.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Goodwill is not amortized.

Impairment of Intangible Assets, Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

Potential impairment of goodwill is tested annually or sooner when circumstances indicate an impairment may exist, using a fair-value approach at the
reporting unit level. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business, which is one level below that operating segment (the component level) if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management at
the segment level. Components are aggregated as a single reporting unit if they have similar economic characteristics. Pursuant to updated guidance issued by the FASB in September 2011, in connection with our goodwill impairment test for the year
ended December 31, 2011, we first assessed qualitative factors as a basis for determining whether it was necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test.

Potential impairment of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is evaluated, at the reporting unit level, at least annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of an asset might not be recoverable from its related future discounted cash flows. Impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amounts and the fair value of the assets, and is recognized as a loss from operations.

Potential impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill and intangible assets not being amortized is evaluated, at least annually or
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset might not be recoverable from its related future undiscounted cash flows. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
measured by the extent to which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. When impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value, and is recognized as a loss from
operations.

Software Cost

Costs to develop our gaming software and Asian online game products are capitalized after technological feasibility has been established, and when the product is available for general release to
customers, costs are expensed. Costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed when incurred and are included in product development and engineering expenses. Capitalized amounts are amortized using the
straight-line method, which is applied over the estimated useful economic life of the software, ranging from three to five years. The annual amortization is modified if the amount computed using the ratio that current gross revenues for a product
bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product is greater than the amount computed using the straight-line method.

We capitalize certain costs incurred to purchase or to internally create and implement internal-use computer software, which includes software coding, installation, testing and certain data conversion.
These capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful economic life of the software or its contractual license period, which range from three to five years.

Product Development and Engineering

Product development and engineering expenses primarily consist of research compensation, depreciation and amortization, and are expensed as incurred.

Advertising

Direct-response
advertising costs incurred related to the acquisition or origination of a customer relationship are capitalized and deferred. The deferred costs are recognized as expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over
the estimated lives of customer relationships. Costs of broadcast advertising are recorded as expenses as advertising airtime is used. Other advertising expenditures are expensed as incurred. Subsequent to the sale of a 60 percent interest
in our online gaming and software service business in April 2010, deferred costs related to advertising have not been significant.

Advertising expenses incurred in 2009, 2010 and 2011 totaled $63.6 million, $12.7 million and $3.5
million, respectively. As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, prepaid advertising amounted to $20 thousand and $110 thousand, respectively.

Leases

Leases for which
substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership remain with the leasing company are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases, net of any incentives received by our Company from the leasing company, are charged
to the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease periods.

Leases are classified as capital leases
whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. Assets held under capital leases are recognized as assets of our Company at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at
the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and a reduction of the lease obligation so
as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly to profit or loss.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation represents the cost related to share-based awards granted to employees. We measure share-based compensation cost at the grant
date, based on the estimated fair value of the award. Share-based compensation is recognized for the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest, and the cost is amortized on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the
vesting period. Our Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The cost is recorded in operating costs and operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on the employees
respective function.

For shares and stock options granted to non-employees, we measure the fair value of the equity
instruments granted at the earlier of the performance commitment date or when the performance is completed.

Retirement Plan and Net
Periodic Pension Cost

Under our defined benefit pension plan, net periodic pension cost, which includes service cost, interest cost,
expected return on plan assets, amortization of unrecognized net transition obligation and gains or losses on plan assets, is recognized based on an actuarial valuation report. We recognize the funded status of pension plans and non-pension
post-retirement benefit plans (retirement-related benefit plans) as an asset or a liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Under our
defined contribution pension plans, net periodic pension cost is recognized as incurred.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is recorded as a component of equity. Our Companys comprehensive income (loss) consists of net
income or loss, foreign currency translation adjustments, changes in unrealized holding gains and losses on marketable securities, and unrecognized actuarial gains or losses related to our defined benefit pension plan.

Income Taxes

The asset and
liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. We recognize the tax benefit
from the purchase of equipment and technology, research and development expenditures, employee training, and certain equity investments using the flow-through method. Net operating loss carryforwards and investment credits are measured using the
enacted tax rate and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more-likely-than-not be realized. In assessing
the likelihood of realization, management considers estimates of future taxable income.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2010 AND 2011



In addition, we recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is
more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax effect is recognized at the largest amount of the benefit that has greater than a 50 percent
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The interest and penalties are reflected as income tax expense in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income
available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of common
shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares, composed of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and options in all periods, are included in the computation of diluted earnings
per share to the extent such shares are dilutive. Diluted EPS also takes into consideration the effect of dilutive securities issued by subsidiaries. In a period in which a loss is incurred, only the weighted average number of common shares issued
and outstanding is used to compute the diluted loss per share, as the inclusion of potential common shares would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2011, basic and diluted loss per share are the same.

Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling interest in the equity of a subsidiary is accounted for and reported as equity. Changes in our Companys ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are
accounted for as equity transactions. Any retained noncontrolling equity investment upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary is initially measured at fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance that modifies the goodwill impairment test. Goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step process. The first step is to identify potential
impairments by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of
impairment, if any. The second step is to determine the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill, measured in the same manner as goodwill is recognized in a business combination, and compare the implied fair value with the carrying
amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

Updated guidance requires that, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit becomes zero or negative, the second step of the impairment test must be performed when it is more likely than not that a
goodwill impairment loss exists. In considering whether it is more likely than not that an impairment loss exists, a company is required to evaluate qualitative factors, including the factors presented in existing guidance that trigger an interim
impairment test of goodwill (e.g., a significant adverse change in business climate or an anticipated sale of a reporting unit). The provisions of the guidance became effective for our Company on January 1, 2011. The adoption did not have a
material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance that simplifies the goodwill
impairment test. For its annual and interim goodwill impairment test, an entity first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount
as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described above. This update is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2011. However, early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entitys financial statements for the most recent annual or
interim period have not yet been issued. Our Company adopted the updated guidance for our annual goodwill impairment test in 2011.

In January 2010, the FASB issued additional disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.
The new guidance requires more detailed disclosures of the changes in Level 3 instruments and was effective for our Company on January 1, 2011. The adoption did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, as it only
required additional disclosures.

In October 2009, the FASB issued amended revenue recognition guidance for arrangements with multiple
deliverables. The new guidance eliminates the residual method of revenue recognition and allows the use of managements best estimate of selling price for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE),
vendor objective evidence (VOE) or third-party evidence (TPE) is unavailable. The changes became effective for our Company on January 1, 2011. The amendment did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance which amends the scope of existing software revenue recognition accounting. Tangible products containing
software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the products essential functionality will be scoped out of the accounting guidance on software and accounted for based on other appropriate revenue recognition
guidance. This guidance must be adopted in the same period that our Company adopts the amended accounting for arrangements with multiple deliverables described in the preceding paragraph. The changes became effective for our Company on
January 1, 2011. The amendment did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

UIM

Through the date of the sale of 60 percent of the gaming software and service business to BetClic in April 2010, we had a software license and support
service contract with UIM to provide Internet software and support services for UIMs online gaming operations. The contract allowed us to charge UIM a percentage of its gross receipts resulting from UIMs online gaming operations. The
percentage of gross receipts varied depending upon the software and support services provided to UIM. We analyzed our contractual relationships with UIM and determined that we were the primary beneficiary of UIM. As a result of such determination,
we had incorporated the financial results of UIM into our Consolidated Financial Statements, even though we did not own any of UIMs equity. In connection with the sale to BetClic, we purchased 100 percent of the ownership in UIM from its
shareholders for $400 thousand and adjusted additional paid-in capital and noncontrolling interest by approximately $178 thousand and $(578) thousand, respectively.

T2CN Holding Limited (T2CN)

Pursuant to various agreements entered into among Shanghai T2 Entertainment Co., (T2 Entertainment), T2 Information Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (T2 Technology) and the equity
interest owners of T2 Entertainment, until June 30, 2010, T2CN, through its wholly owned subsidiary T2 Technology, had effective control over T2 Entertainment and was considered the primary beneficiary of T2 Entertainment. T2 Entertainment was
established to hold the necessary licenses required for the operation of our Asian online game and services business in the PRC. Accordingly, from the date that we consolidated T2CN through July 1, 2010, the date we deconsolidated T2CN (See
Note 5, Deconsolidation, for additional information), the financial results of T2 Entertainment were included in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Pursuant to various agreements entered into among Shanghai T2 Advertisement Co., Ltd. (T2 Advertisement), T2 Technology and the equity interest owners of T2 Advertisement, until June 30,
2010, T2CN, through its wholly owned subsidiary T2 Technology, had effective control over T2 Advertisement and was considered the primary beneficiary of T2 Advertisement. T2 Advertisement was established to hold the necessary licenses required for
the operation of our Asian online game related advertisement services in the PRC. Accordingly, from the date that we consolidated T2CN through July 1, 2010, the date we deconsolidated T2CN (See Note 5, Deconsolidation, for

T2 Technology also entered into various agreements with Shanghai Jinyou Network & Technology
Co., Ltd. (Jinyou) and the equity interest owners of Jinyou. Until June 30, 2010, T2CN, through its wholly owned subsidiary T2 Technology, had effective control over Jinyou and was considered the primary beneficiary of Jinyou. In
September 2008, Jinyou acquired an ICP license required for the operation of our Asian online game and services business in the PRC and the agreements entered into by and among T2 Technology, Jinyou and the equity interest owners of Jinyou became
effective. Accordingly, the financial results of Jinyou were included in our Consolidated Financial Statements starting from September 2008 through July 1, 2010.

T2 Technology, J-Town Information (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (J-Town), T2 Entertainment, T2 Advertisement and Jinyou are hereby collectively referred to as T2CN Operating Entities.

As a result of a dispute that arose in July 2010 with T2CNs former Chief Executive Officer, we had been prevented from obtaining the
financial information necessary to report the financial results of T2CN, and we had effectively lost control over T2CNs financial reporting process. Therefore, we deconsolidated T2CNs financial results with effect from July 1, 2010.
As a result, we also ceased treating T2 Entertainment, T2 Advertisement and Jinyou as our variable-interest entities. (See Note 5, Deconsolidation, for additional information.)

The net assets, total assets and total liabilities in the aggregate of T2 Entertainment, T2 Advertisement and Jinyou were approximately $1.6 million, $18.2 million and $16.6 million, respectively, as of
December 31, 2009, and $2.5 million, $20.9 million and $18.4 million, respectively, as of July 1, 2010 (the date of deconsolidation). For the year ended December 31, 2009 and the period from January to June 2010, total revenues and
net income (loss) in the aggregate of T2 Entertainment, T2 Advertisement and Jinyou recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements were as follows:

NOTE 4. ACQUISITIONS

IAHGames

In July
2010, we began consolidating Infocomm Asia Holdings Pte Ltd. (IAHGames), an online game operator, publisher and distributor in Southeast Asia. We acquired IAHGames in order to enhance our position in the online game market in Southeast
Asia and strengthen our online entertainment product portfolio. This primary factor among others, contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair market value of the net tangible assets and intangible assets acquired.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, we owned 5,982,230 Class A preferred shares and 1,208,881 Class B preferred shares of IAHGames, which
represents a controlling financial interest of 80 percent of the total outstanding voting rights of IAHGames. The preferred shares (Class A) are convertible into ordinary shares of IAHGames at a conversion rate of 10 Class A shares for 1 ordinary
share. The preferred shares (Class B) are convertible into ordinary shares of IAHGames at a conversion rate of 1 Class B share for 1 ordinary share.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (Continued)

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2010 AND 2011



The unaudited pro-forma supplemental information is based on estimates and assumptions, which we believe
are reasonable; it is not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations in future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had we been a consolidated company during all of 2009 and 2010.
The above unaudited pro-forma financial information includes adjustments for the amortization of identified intangible assets with definite lives.

Monsoon

We, through IAHGames, made an equity investment in Monsoon Online Pte Ltd
(Monsoon), an operator and distributor of online games in Southeast Asia, in connection with our acquisition of a controlling financial interest in IAHGames with effect from July 1, 2010. In connection with a strategic alliance,
Monsoon entered into various agreements with a game licensor to distribute selected games in Southeast Asia (collectively referred to as the Distribution Partnership). Although IAHGames owns 100 percent of the common stock of Monsoon, we
decided not to consolidate Monsoon at the time of the acquisition as the game licensor had substantive participating rights in Monsoons business operations pursuant to Monsoons management agreement. In September 2011, IAHGames, Monsoon
and the game licensor entered into an agreement whereby all parties agreed to terminate early Monsoons management agreement and other agreements with the game licensor which had granted the licensor the abovementioned substantive participating
rights in connection with Monsoon. The agreement was effective from August 31, 2011. Starting from September 1, 2011, IAHGames had effective control over Monsoon and therefore we have consolidated Monsoon since that date.

NOTE 5. DECONSOLIDATION

In June 2007, we began consolidating T2CN, an operator and provider of online sports games in the PRC. As of December 31, 2010 and
December 13, 2011, we owned 43,633,681 common shares of T2CN, which represented an ownership interest of 67.09 percent of the total outstanding voting rights of T2CN. We disposed of all of our ownership interest in T2CN in December 2011 through
sale to a third party.

As a result of a dispute with T2CNs former Chief Executive Officer arising in July 2010, GigaMedia was prevented
from obtaining access to the assets and financial information of the entities held by T2CN. Therefore, we effectively lost control over T2CNs financial reporting process of that time. In spite of owning 67.09 percent of T2CNs common
stock, we deconsolidated T2CNs results with effect from July 1, 2010. The following is a breakdown of our retained investment at the date of deconsolidation:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (Continued)

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2010 AND 2011



In connection with our year-end financial reporting process, we were required to perform an impairment
analysis for the Companys investment in and advances to T2CN Operating Entities as of December 31, 2010. Given we had been prevented from obtaining the financial information necessary to report the financial results of T2CN, and we had
effectively lost control over a majority of T2CNs assets and its financial reporting process, we decided to completely write-off both the Companys investment in and its advances to T2CN Operating Entities in order to properly reflect
GigaMedias financial position as of December 31, 2010. The impairment charges recorded for the investment and the advances in 2010 were approximately $22.2 million (after removing the other comprehensive income component of equity related
to T2CN from the Companys balance sheet) and approximately $1.4 million, respectively.

On December 2, 2011, we entered into an
agreement with Hornfull Limited, and Hangzhou NewMargin Ventures Co. Ltd. (Hangzhou NewMargin) whereby we agreed to sell all of our ownership interest in T2CN to Hornfull Limited, and Hangzhou NewMargin agreed to guarantee the payment
and performance of Hornfull Limited under the agreement. On December 14, 2011, the parties completed the sale and purchase of the T2CN shares. Pursuant to the agreement, we sold all of our ownership interest in T2CN to Hornfull Limited in
exchange for a cash payment of $4.7 million, resulting in a gain of $4.7 million being recorded in 2011. Hornfull Limited also reimbursed us $0.8 million in cash for legal fees incurred by us in connection with the T2CN dispute.

NOTE 6. DIVESTITURES

On December 15, 2009, we entered into an agreement with BetClic to sell 60 percent of substantially all of the assets and
liabilities of our gaming software and service business for approximately $100 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. The closing of the sale occurred on April 8, 2010. The sale resulted in the recognition of a gain of $79.1 million,
net of transaction costs. The sale of the remaining 40 percent is subject to a put and call mechanism in place between GigaMedia and BetClic, as defined in the agreement. GigaMedia will have the option to put all or part of its remaining 40 percent
to BetClic in each of 2013, 2014, and 2015 at a value considering all relevant facts and circumstances after the end of each year. If the put option owned by GigaMedia is not fully exercised, BetClic will have the option to call the remaining
interest held by GigaMedia in each of 2015 and 2016.

We deconsolidated the gaming software and service business and recognized a gain when we
completed the sale of 60 percent of substantially all of the assets and liabilities to BetClic on April 8, 2010, the date on which our Company ceased to have a controlling financial interest. The remaining 40 percent ownership interest we
retained in the gaming software and service business has been accounted for under the equity method accounting starting from April 2010.

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The accounting framework for determining fair value includes a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information
used to measure fair value, which enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of three tiers as follows: Level 1, defined as quoted market prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, defined as inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not
active, model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets and
liabilities; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Assets and Liabilities that are
Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Our Company has segregated all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at
fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date in the table below.

Level 1 and 2 measurements:

Cash equivalents  time deposits are convertible into a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Certain marketable securities are valued using a market
approach based on the quoted market prices of identical instruments

when available, or other observable inputs such as trading prices of
identical instruments in inactive markets. The fair value of the marketable equity securities that have publicly quoted trading prices are valued using those observable prices, unless adjustments are required to available observable inputs.

|* | The investment in IAHGames was transferred out of Level 3 upon our acquisition and consolidation of it as a subsidiary. In July 2010, we reclassified our debt
securities held in IAHGames from Marketable Securities  Noncurrent upon consolidation when we increased our total controlling financial interest in IAHGames to 80 percent. The investment in IAHGames amounted to $5.8 million which
was transferred out from Marketable Securities  Noncurrent upon consolidation.

The fair value of the
marketable debt securities is derived using a discounted cash flow method using unobservable inputs. The discounted cash flow method incorporates adjusted available market discount rate information and our Companys estimates of liquidity risk,
and other cash flow model related assumptions.

In 2009, 2010 and 2011, we recognized other-than-temporary impairments of $11.8 million, $4.5
million and $0, respectively, related to marketable debt securities, which is included in non-operating expenses within impairment loss on marketable securities and investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

IAHGames had warrants outstanding in which the holder may purchase an aggregate of 15 percent of IAHGames common
stock, on a fully diluted basis, at an exercise price of $3.40 per warrant share subject GigaMedias share of loss to certain adjustments in accordance with the warrant agreement. The warrants expired upon the expiration of certain game
licenses or in certain circumstances in accordance with the warrant agreement. According to the terms of the warrant agreement, if IAHGames subsequently issued additional shares of its common stock, IAHGames was obligated to issue additional
warrants to the warrant holder necessary for the holder to maintain its 15 percent share ownership, regardless of whether such additional shares were issued at, above, or below the market price. Because the provisions gave the warrant holder a level
of protection that was not afforded to the other holders of IAHGames common stock, and since these provisions were not based on inputs to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed forward or option, the warrants were not considered to be
indexed to IAHGames common stock. As a result, the warrants were accounted for as a derivative liability instrument. As of December 31, 2010, we valued the warrants at approximately $665 thousand using a valuation model and reported the
warrants as a liability under the caption Other liabilities - Other in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The key assumptions and related variables used in the valuation model to determine the fair value of the warrants as of
December 31, 2010 included certain unobservable inputs and related variables such as risk free rate, volatility, strike price, and dividend yield. In 2010, we recognized a gain of approximately $2.6 million related to the revaluation of the
warrants, which is included in non-operating income (expenses) within gain on fair value changes of warrant derivative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As a part of the early termination of the management agreement related to Monsoon (please refer to Note
4, Acquisition), all the warrants outstanding were cancelled. As a result, we recognized a gain of $665 thousand upon cancellation of the warrants in 2011.

Financial instruments:

The carrying amounts of our Companys cash, accounts
receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable, and short-term debt approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of amounts due to and from related parties is not practicable to estimate due to the related party nature of
the underlying transactions.

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include measuring impairment when required for long-lived assets.
For GigaMedia, long-lived assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include investments accounted for under the equity method and cost method, property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, prepaid licensing and royalty fees, and
goodwill.

(a) Impairment losses on certain cost method and equity method investments which were determined to be impaired:

In 2010, equity method investments with carrying amounts of $177 thousand were fully written down, resulting in an impairment charge of $177
thousand. In 2011, cost method investments with carrying amounts of $1.4 million were written down to their estimated fair value of $700 thousand, resulting in an impairment charge of $0.7 million, and an equity method investment with a carrying
amount of $15.1 million written down to its estimated fair value of $2.5 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $12.6 million. The impairment charges are included in non-operating expenses within impairment loss on marketable securities
and investments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Cost method and equity method investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when
declines in fair value are determined to be other-than-temporary, using other observable inputs such as trading prices of similar classes of the stock or using discounted cash flows, incorporating adjusted available market discount rate information
and our Companys estimates for liquidity risk.

(b) Impairment losses on certain property, plant, and equipment which were determined to
be impaired:

In 2010, we recorded an impairment loss of $278 thousand against our information and communication equipment. The impairment
charges are included in operating expenses within impairment loss on property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impairment charge for the equipment was related to servers used in certain impaired
licensed games or internally developed games within our Asian online game and service business for which the carrying amount was determined not to be recoverable from its related future undiscounted cash flows. This equipment was valued using
unobservable inputs such as discounted cash flows, incorporating adjusted available market discount rate information and our Companys estimates for liquidity risk, and other cash flow model - related assumptions.

(c) Impairment losses on goodwill which was determined to be impaired:

Goodwill from the acquisition of IAHGames with a carrying amount of $12.2 million was written down to its estimated fair value of $9.9 million as of December 31, 2010, and fully written down to $0 as
of December 31, 2011, after reversal of a contingent liability recorded in connection with the IAH acquisition for $5.9 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $2.3 million in 2010 and $4.0 million in 2011, respectively, which is included
within operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impairment charges resulted as our estimates of future cash flows for IAHGames business had been reduced due to lower than expected operating performance results in
2010 and 2011, indicating that the carrying amount of the goodwill from the acquisition of IAHGames could not be fully recovered as of December 31, 2010 and 2011.

Goodwill from the acquisition of OneNet Co., Ltd. (OneNet) with a carrying amount of $1.0
million was fully written down to $0 as of December 31, 2011, resulting in an impairment charge of $1.0 million in 2011, which is included within operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impairment charge resulted as
our estimates of future cash flows for OneNets business had been reduced due to lower than expected operating performance results in 2011, indicating that the carrying amount of the goodwill from the acquisition of OneNet could not be fully
recovered as of December 31, 2011.

Goodwill is valued on a nonrecurring basis when impairment exists, using unobservable inputs such as
discounted cash flows, incorporating adjusted available market discount rate information and our Companys estimates for liquidity risk and other cash flow model related assumptions.

(d) Impairment losses on certain intangible assets which were determined to be impaired:

In 2010
and 2011, capitalized software costs with carrying amounts of $1 million and $40 thousand, respectively, were fully written down, resulting in impairment charges of $1 million and $40 thousand, respectively, included in operating expenses within
impairment loss on prepaid licensing fees and intangible assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impairment charges for the capitalized software costs were the result of certain projects within our Asian online game and
service business that we ceased further development on, and as a result, we recorded a full impairment of the carrying value of the assets related to these projects.

In addition, as of December 31, 2010, non-compete contracts resulting from the acquisition of
IAHGames with carrying amounts of $323 thousand were fully written down, resulting in an impairment charge of $323 thousand; and as of December 31, 2011, the favorable lease right resulting from the acquisition of IAHGames with a carrying
amount of $2.5 million was fully written down, resulting in an impairment charge of $2.5 million. Both of the impairments are included in operating expenses within impairment loss on prepaid licensing fees and intangible assets in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impairment charges resulted as our estimates of future cash flows related to these non-compete contracts and favorable lease right were reduced to lower than originally expected, which indicated that the
carrying amount of these intangible assets could not be recovered as of December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

(e) Impairment losses
on certain prepaid licensing and royalty fees which were determined to be impaired:

In 2010, prepaid licensing and royalty fees with carrying
amounts of $1.1 million were written to their estimated fair values of $200 thousand, resulting in an impairment charge of $870 thousand. In 2011, prepaid licensing and royalty fees with carrying amounts of $619 thousand were fully written down,
resulting in an impairment charge of $619 thousand. The impairment charges are included in operating expenses within impairment loss on prepaid licensing fees and intangible assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The
impairment charges for the prepaid licensing and royalty fees related to certain licensed games within our Asian online game and service business that we stopped operating or for which the carrying amounts of the related assets were determined not
to be recoverable from their expected future undiscounted cash flows. The licensing fee games and related royalties are valued on a nonrecurring basis when impairment exists, using unobservable inputs such as discounted cash flows, incorporating
adjusted available market discount rate information and our Companys estimates for liquidity risk, along with other cash flow model related assumptions.

(f) Impairment loss on T2CN which was determined to be impaired:

In connection with our year-end financial reporting process for 2010, we were required to perform an impairment analysis for the Companys
investment in and advances to the entities held by T2CN as of December 31, 2010. As discussed in more detail in Note 5 Deconsolidation, given we had been prevented from obtaining the financial information necessary to report the
financial results of T2CN, and we had effectively lost control over a majority of T2CNs assets and its financial reporting process, we decided to completely write-off both the Companys investment and its advances to T2CN Operating
Entities in order to properly reflect GigaMedias financial position as of December 31, 2010.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2010 AND 2011



The following is a reconciliation of changes in our Companys allowance for loans receivable -
current during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011:



|                                           |  |      |       |  |      |   |       |      |  |   |       |

|Balance at beginning of year               |  | $    | 2,640 |  |      | $ | 3,574 |      |  | $ | 5,057 | 
|Additions: Provision for bad debt expenses |  |      | 934   |  |      |   | 1,483 |      |  |   |      | 
|                                           |  |      |       |  |      |   |       |      |  |   |       | 
|Balance at end of year                     |  | $    | 3,574 |  |      | $ | 5,057 |      |  | $ | 5,057 |

In 2006, our Company entered into a loan agreement for $214 thousand with a third party with no interest. The outstanding
principal balance of this loan was due in November 2009, and is currently past due. We do not expect to collect all principal; therefore, we recognized a full provision for the loan of $214 thousand in 2009.

During the period from September 2008 to April 2009, our Company entered into loan agreements in the aggregate of $0.7 million with a company (included
in our available-for-sale investments and equity method investments) with interest rates ranging from 9.7 percent to 10.525 percent per annum. Due to the financial status of this available-for-sale investment, we do not expect to collect all
principal and interest. Therefore, we recognized a provision for certain loans and interest receivable in the aggregate of $719 thousand in 2009, and ceased to recognize interest income.

As of the date of our deconsolidation of T2CN in July 2010, we had $1.4 million of loans receivable outstanding. As a result of the ongoing dispute, we do not expect to collect these outstanding loans due
from T2CN. Therefore, we recognized a full provision for the loans of $1.4 million in 2010. (See Note 5, Deconsolidation for additional information.)

NOTE 15. MARKETABLE SECURITIES  NONCURRENT

Marketable securities  noncurrent consist of the following:



|                              |  |             |        |  |      |   |       |

|Available-for-sale securities |  |             |        |  |      |   |       | 
|Debt securities               |  | $           | 5,454  |  |      | $ | 5,454 | 
|Equity securities             |  |             | 27,935 |  |      |   | 1,630 | 
|                              |  |             |        |  |      |   |       | 
|                              |  | $           | 33,389 |  |      | $ | 7,084 | 
|                              |  |             |        |  |      |   |       | 

Our Companys marketable securities - noncurrent are invested in convertible preferred shares and publicly-traded
common shares and are classified as available-for-sale securities.

The preferred shares are convertible into common shares on 1:1 basis,
subject to certain adjustments, and shall be automatically converted upon certain conditions outlined in the agreements. The convertible preferred shares are all redeemable based upon certain agreed-upon conditions.

The embedded conversion options of the convertible preferred shares do not meet the definition of derivative instruments defined in the FASB accounting
standards codification and therefore are not bifurcated from the preferred share investment.

We have also considered and determined whether
our investments in preferred shares are in-substance common shares which should be accounted for under the equity method. Given that our convertible preferred shares have substantive redemption rights and thus do not meet the criteria of
in-substance common shares, we have accounted for them as debt securities in accordance with the guidance issued by FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

During 2009, 2010 and 2011, realized gains from the disposal of marketable securities  non-current amounted to $0, $0 and $5.8 million, respectively. The costs for calculating gains on disposal were
based on the securitys average cost. In December 2011, our Board of Directors authorized management to dispose of a majority of our equity securities in the first half of 2012. Accordingly, we reclassified those marketable securities as
current as of December 31, 2011. (See Note 12 Marketable Securities  Current, for additional information.) Pursuant to the authorization, in the first quarter of 2012 we have disposed 16 thousand shares of such marketable
securities (valued at $566 thousand as of December 31, 2011) with realized gains of $502 thousand.

The Companys investments in companies that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting consist of the
following: (a) a 40 percent interest in Mangas Everest S.A.S. (Everest Gaming), which is engaged in the gaming software and service business (See Note 6 Divestitures for additional information); (b) a 30 percent
interest in Game First International Corporation (GFI), an operator and distributor of online games in Taiwan; (c) through August 31, 2011, a 100 percent interest in Monsoon Online Pte Ltd. (Monsoon), an operator
and distributor of online games in Southeast Asia; (d) an 18 percent interest in East Gate Media Contents & Technology Fund (East Gate), a Korean Fund that invests in online game businesses and films; and (e) a 23
percent interest in Digiforce Co., Ltd, an online games service provider in Taiwan. The investments in these companies amounted to $65.4 million and $7.6 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, the Companys share of the underlying net assets of Everest Gaming exceeded the carrying value of its
investment by $12.4 million and $9.3 million, respectively. The excess results from the difference between the fair value we assigned to the 40 percent retained interest in Everest Gaming at the date the business was deconsolidated, compared to 40
percent of the total fair value of Everest Gaming as determined by BetClic, the purchaser of the 60 percent interest.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (Continued)

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2010 AND 2011



From the date of our sale of a 60 percent interest in our online gaming software and service business in
2010 through December 31, 2011, we recognized our share of losses in Everest Gaming under the equity method of accounting which totaled $9.8 million and $49.7 million, respectively, which resulted in a negative investment balance as of December
31, 2011. In accordance with the FASB codification, we charged this negative investment balance against the loan receivable that Everest Gaming has outstanding to us as of December 31, 2011. (See Note 26, Related Party Transactions,
for additional information.)

We, through IAHGames, made an equity investment in Monsoon in connection with our acquisition of a controlling
financial interest in IAHGames. Although IAHGames owns 100 percent of the common stock of Monsoon, prior to September 2011 we determined that Monsoon was not consolidated by IAHGames due to the substantive participating rights that the game licensor
had in Monsoon pursuant to Monsoons management agreement. From the date of our acquisition of IAHGames through August 31, 2011, we recognized our share of gains (losses) under the equity method of accounting which totaled $(12.6) million
and $230 thousand in 2010 and 2011, respectively, which resulted in a negative investment balance. In accordance with the FASB codification, we charged this negative investment balance against to the loan receivable that Monsoon has outstanding to
us as of December 31, 2010 and August 31, 2011. (See Note 26, Related Party Transactions, for additional information.)

In September 2011, IAHGames, Monsoon and the game licensor entered a transition agreement to early terminate the previous agreement in which the
abovementioned substantive participating rights were granted, effective August 31, 2011, and thus restored IAHGames full control in Monsoon. Therefore, starting September 1, 2011, we consolidated Monsoon. (See Note 4,
Acquisition, for additional information.)

Our Company has an 18 percent interest in East Gate, a Korean Limited Partnership. We account for this
limited partnership investment under the equity method accounting in accordance with the FASB codification as our interest is not considered to be minor. We have influence over partnership operating and financial policies based on the terms of the
partnership agreement.

NOTE 17. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, short-term borrowings totaled $12.4 million and $11.8 million, respectively. These amounts were
borrowed from certain financial institutions. The annual interest rates on these borrowings ranged from 0.85 percent to 5.56 percent for 2010, and from 1.30 percent to 7.54 percent for 2011. The maturity dates ranged from January 2011 to March 2011
as of December 31, 2010, and fell in late January 2012 as of December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, the weighted-average interest rate on total short-term borrowings was 1.835 percent and 2.870 percent, respectively.

As of December 31, 2011, the total amount of unused lines of credit available for borrowing under these agreements was approximately
$28.0 million.

During the period from January 2012 to March 2012, we repaid certain short-term borrowings totaling $28.2 million, increased
short-term borrowings totaling $3.3 million, and renewed short-term borrowing agreements totaling $23.0 million.

NOTE 20. PENSION BENEFITS

Our Company and our subsidiaries have defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans that cover substantially all of our
employees.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

We have a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Law of the Republic of China (R.O.C.) for our employees located in Taiwan, covering substantially all full-time employees for
services provided prior to July 1, 2005, and employees who have elected to remain in the defined benefit pension plan subsequent to the enactment of the Labor Pension Act on July 1, 2005. Under the defined benefit pension plan, employees
are entitled to two base points for every year of service for the first 15 years and one base point for every additional year of service, up to a maximum of 45 base points. The pension payment to employees is computed based on base point and average
salaries or wages for the six months prior to approved retirement.

We use a December 31 measurement date for our defined benefit pension
plan. As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, the accumulated benefit obligation amounted to $246 thousand and $169 thousand, respectively, and the funded status of accrued pension liability (prepaid pension) amounted to $44 thousand and $(68)
thousand (recorded in other assets for $239 thousand and accrued pension liabilities for $171 thousand), respectively. The fair value of plan assets amounted to $255 thousand and $263 thousand as of December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. The
accumulated other comprehensive income amounted to $236 thousand and $308 thousand as of December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. The net periodic benefit cost (income) for 2009, 2010 and 2011 amounted to $76 thousand, $12 thousand and $(18)
thousand, respectively.

We have contributed an amount equal to 2 percent of the salaries and wages paid to all qualified employees located in
Taiwan to a pension fund (the Fund). The Fund is administered by a pension fund monitoring committee (the Committee) and deposited in the Committees name in the Bank of Taiwan (originally the Central Trust of China,
which was dissolved after merger with the Bank of Taiwan on July 1, 2007). Our Company makes pension payments from our account in the Fund unless the Fund is insufficient, in which case we make payments from internal funds as payments become
due. We seek to maintain a normal, highly liquid working capital balance to ensure payments are made timely.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2010 AND 2011



We expect to make a contribution of $9 thousand to the Fund in 2012. We do not expect to make any
benefit payments through 2020.

Defined Contribution Pension Plans

We have provided defined contribution plans for employees located in Taiwan, the PRC, Hong Kong and Singapore. Contributions to the plans are expensed as incurred.

Taiwan

Pursuant to the
new Labor Pension Act enacted on July 1, 2005, our Company has a defined contribution pension plan for our employees located in Taiwan. For eligible employees who elect to participate in the defined contribution pension plan, we
contribute no less than 6 percent of an employees monthly salary and wage and up to the maximum amount of NT$9 thousand (approximately $300), to each of the eligible employees individual pension accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance
each month. Pension payments to employees are made either by monthly installments or in a lump sum from the accumulated contributions and earnings in employees individual accounts.

PRC

All PRC employees participate in employee social security plans,
including pension and other welfare benefits, which are organized and administered by governmental authorities. We have no other substantial commitments to employees. The premiums and welfare benefit contributions that should be borne by our Company
are calculated in accordance with relevant PRC regulations, and are paid to the labor and social welfare authorities.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2010 AND 2011



Hong Kong

According to the relevant Hong Kong regulations, we provide a contribution plan for the eligible employees in Hong Kong. We must contribute at least 5 percent of the employees total salaries.
For this purpose, the monthly relevant contribution to their individual contribution accounts is subject to a cap of HK$1 thousand (approximately $129). After the termination of employment, the benefits still belong to the employees in any
circumstances.

Singapore

In accordance with Singapore regulations, we make contributions to the Singapore Central Provident Fund Scheme, a defined contribution pension plan, for eligible employees. We contribute 14.5 percent of
the employees gross salaries, subject to a cap of SG$4.5 thousand (approximately $3,500). We have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits
relating to employee service in the current and preceding financial years.

The total amount of defined contribution pension expenses pursuant
to our defined contribution plans for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010, and 2011 were $1.3 million, $1.0 million, and $896 thousand, respectively.

NOTE 22. SUBSIDIARY PREFERRED SHARES

In connection with our acquisition of a controlling financial interest in IAHGames, we assumed Class A preferred shares, which are
owned by the noncontrolling shareholders. As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, these Class A preferred shares were valued at $1.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and both represented 8.9 percent of IAHGames accumulated voting
interest. The holder of the Class A preferred shares is entitled to cumulative dividends at 10 percent per annum. The preferred shares are redeemable at the holders option at any time after the expiration of certain licensed games, and are
convertible into ordinary shares at any time. However, pursuant to agreements entered into in connection with our acquisition of IAHGames in July 2010, all Class A preferred shares are to be converted to ordinary shares of IAHGames at the
acquisition date. The conversion process has not yet been completed.

As the redemption feature on the Class A preferred stock is not solely
within the control of IAHGames, the amount has been presented in the mezzanine section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Also, since the Class A preferred shares are not currently redeemable and is not probable that they will become redeemable as a
result of our acquisition of IAHGames as described above, the subsequent adjustment for accretion is not required. However, the cumulative dividends for these Class A preferred shares of $148 thousand and $321 thousand for the years ended
December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively, are included as a component of net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

NOTE 23. EQUITY

In accordance with Singapore law, our Companys common stock does not have a par value. In addition, we are not required to have a
number of authorized common shares to be issued.

In accordance with R.O.C. law, an appropriation for legal reserve amounting to 10 percent of
a companys net profit is required until the reserve equals the aggregate par value of such Taiwan companys issued capital stock. As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, the legal reserves of Hoshin GigaMedia Center Inc. (Hoshin
GigaMedia), which represent a component of our consolidated accumulated deficit, were $3.0 million for each period. The reserve can only be used to offset a deficit or be distributed as a stock dividend of up to 50 percent of the reserve
balance when the reserve balance has reached 50 percent of the aggregate paid-in capital of Hoshin GigaMedia.

Under PRC laws and regulations,
there are certain foreign exchange restrictions on our Companys PRC subsidiaries and VIE subsidiaries with respect to transferring certain of their net assets to our Company either in the form of dividends, loans or advances.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, our Companys total restricted net assets, which include paid up capital of PRC subsidiaries and the net
assets of VIE subsidiaries in which our Company has no legal ownership, were approximately $2.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

On May 20, 2011, our board of directors approved an $11 million share repurchase program of
GigaMedias common stock. Under the terms of the share repurchase program, GigaMedia could repurchase up to $11 million worth of its issued and outstanding shares during the period starting from June 1, 2011 to November 30, 2011. The
repurchases could be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan, subject to restrictions relating to volume, pricing and timing. The timing and extent of any repurchases depended upon market
conditions, the trading price of GigaMedias shares and other factors. This share repurchase program was implemented in a manner consistent with market conditions, in the interests of our shareholders, and in compliance with GigaMedias
securities trading policy and relevant Singapore and U.S. laws and regulations. During 2011, repurchases under this program amounted to approximately 5.6 million shares at a cost of $6.0 million. All of the shares repurchased under this program
were cancelled by the end of 2011.

(b) Options

In 2009, 2010 and 2011, 543,049, 200,500 and 0 options were exercised, and cash received from the exercise of stock options was $1.3 million, $0.2 million and $0 million, respectively, which resulted in
no significant tax benefit realized on a consolidated basis.

Our Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair
value of stock options granted to employees. There were no stock options granted in 2009. The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the model for options granted during 2010 and 2011:



|                                              |  |      |      |   |      |

|Option term (years)                           |  |      | 6.48 |   |      | 5.99         
|Volatility                                    |  |      | 65   | % |      | 58.89%~63.03%
|Weighted-average volatility                   |  |      | 65   | % |      | 59%          
|Risk-free interest rate                       |  |      | 2.77 | % |      | 2.14%~2.31%  
|Dividend yield                                |  |      | 0    | % |      | 0%           
|Weighted-average fair value of option granted |  | $    | 1.55 |   |      | $0.60        

Option term. The expected term of the options granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be
outstanding. Our Company estimates the expected term of options granted based on historical experience with grants and option exercises.

Expected volatility rate. An analysis of historical volatility was used to develop the estimate of expected volatility.

Risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on yields of U.S. Treasury bonds for the expected term of the options.

Expected dividend yield. The dividend yield is based on our Companys current dividend yield.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between
GigaMedias closing stock price on the last trading day of 2011 and the fair value of the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had they exercised their options on
December 31, 2011. This amount changes based on the fair market value of GigaMedias stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010, and 2011 were $0.8 million, $0.3 million, and $0
million, respectively.

As of December 31 2011, there was approximately $1.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to
nonvested options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.27 years.

The fair value of RSUs is determined and fixed on the grant date based on our stock price. The fair value of RSUs granted
during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 was $0.6 million, $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The total fair value of RSUs vested during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 was $0.9 million, $1.0
million and $0.2 million, respectively, which resulted in no significant tax benefit realized on a consolidated basis.

In 2010, the primary reason for the increase in the income tax provision and the effective income tax
rate was due to the sale of 60 percent of our gaming software and service business. (See Note 6, Divestiture, for additional information.) The income tax provision related to the sale of the gaming software and service business was
approximately $6.1 million, which represented approximately 70 percent of our income from continuing operations.

The provision (benefit) for
income taxes attributable to discontinued operations was $0 for each of the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Significant components of our deferred tax assets consist of the following:

In 2009, the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets increased by $962 thousand to $1.1 million primarily because
we determined that certain subsidiaries and VIE subsidiaries of our online game and service business were not likely to be able to utilize all of the deferred tax assets based on their estimated future taxable income.

In 2010, the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets increased by $6.3 million to $7.4 million
primarily due to the acquisition of IAHGames. IAHGames had successive losses in prior years and therefore we do not believe that sufficient objective, positive evidence existed at the date of our acquisition to conclude that the realization of the
deferred tax assets that we acquired from IAHGames was more likely than not. We also provided a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets related to certain of our other subsidiaries, as they are not likely to be able to utilize all of their
deferred tax assets based on their estimated future taxable income.

In 2011, the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets increased by
$17.9 million to $25.3 million primarily due to the evaluation of the loss related to our investment in Everest Gaming. We provided a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset related to our investment loss in Everest Gaming as we believe
that the subsequent disposal of this investment will not likely offset the related deferred tax asset based on our estimation of any future disposal gain, as Everest Gaming has had successive losses, and therefore we do not believe that sufficient
objective, positive evidence exists to conclude that the realization of the deferred tax asset related to our investment losses in Everest Gaming is more likely than not.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future income, amounting to $54.3 million. Below is the breakdown of the expiration of the net operating
loss carryforwards in major jurisdictions:

Taiwan, the PRC, and Singapore. As of December 31, 2011, the income tax filings under tax jurisdictions located in Taiwan have been examined through 2008, but we have filed appeals for the 2006, 2007 and 2008 tax filings. Our Company also files
income tax returns in the United States federal and state jurisdictions. The tax authority in the U.S. is currently examining the 2008 and 2009 amended tax filing.

In 2009, 2010 and 2011, our unrecognized tax benefits were related to research and development credits and were also related to amortization of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from the
acquisition of FunTown. For research and development credits, these unrecognized tax benefits were settled with tax authorities though the 2008 tax filings. For amortization of goodwill and intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of
FunTown, the income tax authority has proposed adjustments on the amortization for our 2006, 2007 and 2008 tax filings. We have filed appeals for these amortization adjustments but havent received a response from the tax authority.

In 2010 and 2011, our unrecognized tax benefits increased due to the acquisition of IAHGames. These unrecognized tax benefits primarily relate to certain
related party transactions.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease in the future for various reasons such as
current year tax positions, expiration of statutes of limitations, litigation, legislative activity, or other changes in facts regarding realizability. However, at this time, an estimate of the potential range of change cannot be reasonably made.

NOTE 26. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In 2010 and 2011, a key manager of Waterland Financial Holdings (Waterland) was one of our directors, from whom we had
short-term indebtedness to support our current operations. The largest amounts of outstanding short-term indebtedness to Waterland during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 were $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. As of
December 31, 2010 and 2011, we did not have any indebtedness owed to Waterland.

We, through IAHGames, made an equity investment in
Monsoon in connection with our acquisition of IAHGames with effect from July 1, 2010. In 2010, prior to our acquisition, IAHGames loaned $5.0 million to Monsoon to support Monsoons current operations at interest of 7 percent per annum. In
addition, from September to December 2010, we loaned an additional $5.1 million to Monsoon to support its operation at an interest rate of 7 percent per annum. The largest amount outstanding to Monsoon from July 1, 2010 through August 31,
2011, after which we began to consolidate Monsoon, was $10.3 million. As of August 31, 2011, the balance of this loan receivable was $3.2 million, after being reduced in connection with absorbing additional losses of Monsoon as discussed in
more detail in Note 16, Investments.

During 2011, our Company entered into loan agreements in the aggregate of $5.2 million with
Everest Gaming, with interest rates of 3 percent per annum. As of December 31, 2011, the balance of this loan receivable was nil after being reduced in connection with absorbing additional losses of Everest Gaming (as discussed in more detail
in Note 16, Investments) and considering the financial status of Everest Gaming, from which we do not expect to collect all principal and interest. We also reversed the interest recognized previously on these loans and ceased to
recognize interest income going forward.

(b) License Agreements

We have contractual obligations under various license agreements to pay the licensors license fees and minimum guarantees against future royalties. The following table summarizes the committed license
fees and minimum guarantees against future royalties set forth in our significant license agreements as of December 31, 2011.



|                           |  |              |       |  |                                          |   |       |       |  |   |       |

|                           |  |              |       |  |                                          |   |       |       |  |   |       | 
|                           |  | $            | 6,859 |  |                                          | $ | 1,600 |       |  | $ | 8,459 |

The initial minimum guarantees against future royalties and license fees are not required to be paid until the licensed
games are commercially released or until certain milestones are achieved, as stipulated in the individual license agreements. The remaining minimum guarantees are generally required to be paid within three years subsequent to the commercial release
dates of the licensed games.

Contingencies

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. We believe the ultimate liabilities with respect to these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. (See Note 28, Litigation, for additional information.)

NOTE 28. LITIGATION

(a) Class Action

In December 2001, a class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (District Court) against our Company in connection with the initial
public offering of our stock.

The complaint alleged that we violated Section 11 and Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. In October 2002, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the individual defendants without prejudice. On February 19, 2003, the court issued an
opinion and order on defendants motions to dismiss, which granted the motions in part and denied the motions in part. As to GigaMedia, the Rule 10b-5 claims were dismissed without prejudice, while the Section 11 claims survived the
motion. Discovery in the actions commenced.

In June 2004, plaintiffs and issuer defendants, including our Company, presented the executed
settlement agreement (the Issuers Settlement) to the judge during a court conference. Subsequently, plaintiffs and issuer defendants made a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement. The key terms of the
Issuers Settlement included: 1) the insurers of the issuers would provide an undertaking to guarantee that the plaintiffs would recover a total of $1 billion; 2) the insurers would pay up to $15 million for the notice costs arising from the
settlement; 3) the issuers would assign their interest in certain claims against the underwriters to a litigation trust, represented by plaintiffs counsel; and 4) the plaintiffs would release all of the settling issuer defendants. That is, if
plaintiffs were successful in recovering more than $1 billion from the underwriters, the issuer defendants would not be obligated to pay any additional amounts. If plaintiffs recovered less than $1 billion from the underwriters, the insurers would
pay the deficit between $1 billion and the amount received from the underwriters.

On February 15, 2005, the judge issued an opinion and order granting preliminary approval to the
settlement agreement subject to a narrowing of the proposed bar order as to only contribution claims. On April 24, 2006, the court held a fairness hearing on the proposed Issuers Settlement, which was subject to the courts approval.

On December 5, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued an opinion vacating the District Courts
class certification in the six focus cases, which do not include the Company. Because the Second Circuits opinion was directed to class certification in the focus cases, the opinions effect on the proposed class to be certified by the
District Court in connection with the Issuers Settlement was unclear.

On December 15, 2006, the District Court held a conference
with all counsel in the IPO securities class action lawsuit to discuss the impact of the foregoing opinion. In the conference, the District Court agreed to stay all proceedings, including discovery and consideration of the Issuers Settlement,
pending further decisions from the Second Circuit.

On January 5, 2007, plaintiffs filed a petition in the Second Circuit for rehearing
and rehearing en banc regarding the decision on class certification (the Petition). On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit rendered its decision which denied the Petition.

In April, May, and June 2007, the District Court held several conferences to discuss the issues regarding class certification, statute of limitations, the Issuers Settlement and discovery. In June
2007, a stipulation terminating the Issuers Settlement was submitted to the District Court.

In September 2007, discovery moved forward
in the six focus cases, which do not include the Company. Plaintiffs filed amended complaints against the focus case issuer and underwriter defendants and moved for class certification in those actions. In November 2007, the underwriters and issuers
filed motions to dismiss the amended complaints in the focus cases.

In December 2007, plaintiffs filed their opposition to defendants motions to dismiss. In January
2008, defendants filed their reply briefs in further support of the motions to dismiss.

On or about March 26, 2008, the District Court
granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss the focus cases. The motion to dismiss was granted only as to claims brought under Section 11 of the Securities Act by plaintiffs who sold their securities for a price in excess of the
initial offering price and by those plaintiffs who purchased outside the previously certified class period.

On April 9, 2008, the
underwriters filed a motion for reconsideration of the holding in the March 26, 2008 opinion that the Section 11 claims against the focus case issuer was not time barred, on the basis that no Section 11 class in that case was
certified in 2004. The issuers joined in that motion on behalf of the focus case issuer by letter to the District Court on April 10, 2008.

In December 2007, the issuers filed their oppositions to class certification in the focus cases. In March 2008, plaintiffs filed their reply brief in
further support of class certification. The underwriters and issuers submitted sur-replies in further opposition to class certification on April 22, 2008, addressing issues related to the deposition of the plaintiffs expert.

As set forth in Plaintiffs Motion For Preliminary Approval of the Settlement and accompanying documents, which were filed on April 2, 2009,
after eight years of litigation all parties to the IPO Cases have agreed to settle the actions on a global basis (the IPO Settlement Agreement). Pursuant to the IPO Settlement Agreement, the defendants have agreed to pay $586 million in
total to settle all 309 IPO Cases, including the GigaMedia action. The agreement to settle was reached after a lengthy mediation followed by months of negotiation to reach agreement on the details. As to our Companys portion of the settlement
payment, our insurance companies are paying the entire settlement amount.

In June 2009, the District Court granted the plaintiffs motion for preliminary approval of the IPO
Settlement Agreement. Subsequently, in October 2009, the judge granted final approval to the settlement. Certain objectors have filed notices of appeal to the United States Circuit Court for the Second Circuit seeking to reverse or vacate the order
granting final approval to the IPO Settlement Agreement. However, no briefs have been filed yet with respect to these appeals.

In January
2010, the IPO Settlement Agreement required that the IPO Securities Litigation Settlement Fund (the Settlement Fund) be treated as a Qualified Settlement Fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.468B-1 and that each transferor of
funds to the Settlement Fund provide a statement to the administrators of the Settlement Fund pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.468B-3(e) by January 31, 2010. Liaison counsel for the issuers has submitted a combined statement on behalf of all
such issuers. Six notices of appeal and one petition to appeal the certified class have been filed and all but two of the six have been withdrawn. In October 2010, for the two appeals that were not withdrawn, plaintiffs-appellants filed their
opening briefs. The opening briefs challenged the settlement on several grounds, including certification of the classes, the fees, and the expenses awarded to the plaintiffs' counsel. On December 30, 2010, the answering briefs were filed,
and on May 17, 2011, the Second Circuit issued a ruling on the two remaining appeals, granting the motion to dismiss one of the appeals, and remanding the other appeal back to the District Court to determine procedural issues relating to
standing.

The remaining objector filed an appeal of that decision on September 23, 2011. Plaintiffs moved to dismiss the appeal on October
25, 2011, on the basis of, inter alia, lack of standing. The remaining objector opposed Plaintiffs motion on November 3, 2011, and Plaintiffs filed their reply brief on October 14, 2011. This last objector in the IPO Settlement Agreement
reached an agreement with the Plaintiffs, and on January 9, 2012, the parties executed a Stipulation of Dismissal, wherein the only pending appeal was withdrawn with prejudice. As a result, the appeals process has now been completed.

We had an insurance policy with American Insurance Group with $10 million of liability coverage when the
class action lawsuit was made. We believe that the insurance coverage is sufficient to cover the liability arising from the settlement and claim.

(b) World Series of Poker Litigation

On or about March 21, 2008, Harrahs
License Company, LLC (now Caesars License Company, LLC, the CLC) entered into an agreement with UIM, Global Interactive Services, Inc., and Cambridge Interactive Development Corporation regarding certain promotional rights for the 2008,
2009, and 2010 World Series of Poker events (the Promotional Agreement). In May 2009, all rights and obligations of Harrahs License Company, LLC under the Promotional Agreement were assigned to and assumed by Caesars Interactive
Entertainment, Inc. (CIE).

UIM filed a complaint against Harrahs License Company, LLC (now CLC) (UIM
Complaint), in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, on or about April 1, 2010 (the UIM Action). UIM stated claims against Harrahs for: 1) breach of the Promotional Agreement; 2) breach of the
implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; 3) unjust enrichment; 4) declaratory relief; and 5) injunctive relief. The complaint seeks compensatory damages, a declaration that Harrahs materially breached the Promotional Agreement and the
Promotional Agreement is therefore terminated as of April 1, 2010, an injunction precluding Harrahs from violating the Promotional Agreement pending the outcome of the litigation, and attorney fees and costs.

Harrahs Interactive Entertainment, Inc. (now CIE) filed a complaint against UIM and GigaMedia Limited (Caesars Complaint) in the United
States District Court for the District of Nevada, on or about April 27, 2010 (the Caesars Action). Harrahs Interactive Entertainment, Inc. (now CIE) stated claims against UIM for: 1) breach of the Promotional Agreement; 2)
breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; and, 3) unjust enrichment, and included GigaMedia Limited as a defendant for tortious interference with contractual relations.

UIM filed an amended complaint against Harrahs License Company, LLC (now CLC) (UIM Amended Complaint), in the UIM Action, on or about May 14, 2010. UIM asserted a new claim for
fraud in the inducement and abandoning its claim for a preliminary injunction.

Everest Gaming Limited filed a complaint for trademark
infringement against Harrahs Interactive Entertainment, Inc. (now CIE) and Harrahs License Company, LLC (now CLC) (Everest Complaint), in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, on or about June 11,

million, has been paid to CIE.

(c) Dispute with the former head of GigaMedias online games business in the PRC and former Chief
Executive Officer of T2CN (Wang Ji)

Due to the dispute related to our Asian online game and service business in the PRC
with Wang Ji, the former head of our Asian online game and service business in the PRC, that arose in July 2010, we had been prevented from obtaining and did not have access to the financial information of the T2CN Operating Entities. While we were
not aware that there had been any disruption to the ordinary business operations of the T2CN Operating Entities, no dividends or service fees had been declared or paid to the Company since the dispute began.

We believe that Wang Ji currently had in his possession, among other things, the company seals, financial chops and business registration certificates of
the T2CN Operating Entities. We had filed lawsuits against Wang Ji in the courts of the PRC, Hong Kong, Singapore and the British Virgin Islands seeking to recover, among other things, the tangible property of T2 Technology, J-Town and T2
Entertainment, including the company seals, financial chops and business certificates. The lawsuits asserted a number of claims, including, among others, breach of fiduciary duty and conversion. In these matters, the Company was seeking to recover,
among other things, the tangible property of T2 Technology, J-Town and T2 Entertainment, including the company seals, financial chops and business certificates, and monetary damages.

On December 2, 2011, GigaMedia China Limited, Hornfull Limited, and Hangzhou NewMargin entered into
an agreement whereby GigaMedia China Limited agreed to sell all of its ownership interest in T2CN to Hornfull Limited and Hangzhou NewMargin agreed to guarantee the payment and performance of Hornfull Limited under the agreement. On
December 14, 2011, the parties completed the sale and purchase of the T2CN shares. Pursuant to the parties' agreement, GigaMedia China Limited sold all of its 43,633,681 shares of T2CN, representing a 67.087% interest in the company, to
Hornfull Limited for a cash payment of US$4,738,588. Hornfull Limited also reimbursed GigaMedia China Limited US$789,765 in cash for legal fees incurred by GigaMedia in connection with the T2CN dispute.

Hornfull Limited and Hangzhou NewMargin are private companies incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and the PRC, respectively.

After extensive deliberation and consultation with its valuation expert, and outside legal counsel, GigaMedias board of directors concluded that
the sale of GigaMedias ownership interest in T2CN to Hornfull Limited was in the best interest of GigaMedia's shareholders.

In
connection with the sale of its ownership interest in T2CN, GigaMedia has entered into a settlement agreement to resolve all of its civil legal disputes with the former head of its Asian online game and service business in the PRC and former Chief

NOTE 29.SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment data

We have identified two reportable segments: an online gaming software and service business segment and an Asian online game and service business segment.
The online gaming software and service business segment mainly derives its revenues from developing and licensing online games of chance and skill. Subsequent to the sale transaction with BetClic, we have accounted for our 40 percent percentage
ownership interest in our gaming software and service business under the equity method accounting, and record gains or losses from our equity method investment in one line on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Asian online game and
service business segment mainly derives its revenues from recognizing the usage of game playing time or in-game items by the end-users.

Our
management relies on an internal management reporting process that provides revenue and segment information for making financial decisions and allocating resources. The results are based on our method of internal reporting and are not necessarily in
conformity with GAAP. Management measures the performance of each segment based on several metrics, including revenues and income or loss from operations.

A board meeting of Everest Gaming was held on April 19, 2012 and a 6.4 (US$8.3) million share capital increase was approved.
Everest Gamings share capital is to be increased from 30,906,760 (US$39,997,674) to 36,724,503 (US$47,526,648) by issuing 5,817,743 Class X shares with a nominal value of 1 each. The total share premium associated with the
share capital increase would amount to 582,257 (US$753,522), 0.10 per each new Class X share. The increase of capital is to be fully subscribed by BetClic, the holder of Class X shares, by converting certain receivables it is due from

increase, our shareholding in Everest Gaming will be diluted from 40 percent to 33.66 percent.
