In addition, the Company also announced the following amendments to the financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011.
Following the furnishing of the Form 6-K on March, 19, 2012 related to the financial information for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011, an impairment loss of $38.3 million has been recorded with respect to the Company's equity method investment in VisionChina Media Inc. ("Vision China") (Nasdaq: VISN) as of December 31, 2011. On the basis of the duration and severity of the decline in the market price of the equity method investment's shares, the Company concluded that there has been a loss in value of the investment that is other-than-temporary and recorded an impairment loss of $38.3 million. This impairment loss relates to the decline in share price of VisionChina Media Inc. in which we have held a stake of approximately 15,331,305 ordinary shares since January 13, 2011. The impairment loss represents a non-cash charge.
The amended numbers are reflected in the annual report for 2011 as filed by the Company today.
