As of December 31, 2011, the Company had short-term bank credit lines totaling RMB15,000 (US$2,383), which were fully utilized; and long-term bank credit lines totaling RMB550,000 (US$87,386), of which RMB170,580 (US$27,102) were utilized.

 

One of the bank credit line arrangements, with total amount and utilized amount at RMB65,000 and RMB50,000 respectively at December 31, 2011, was entered into by a subsidiary of the Group, MSC, which requires AML and AMS, other subsidiaries of the Group, in accordance with PRC GAAP, to maintain a financial reporting covenant of tangible net worth of at least RMB100,000 and RMB180,000, respectively. It also requires the borrower MSC and the guarantor AMS with the total gearing ratio of less than 0.5 and 0.36 respectively, and the other guarantor AML with the external gearing ratio of less than 1.0. Tangible net worth is calculated as the sum of issued share capital and reserves, less goodwill and intangible assets and any amount due from shareholders. The total gearing ratio is calculated as the ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth. The external gearing ratio is calculated as the ratio of interest-bearing debt to the sum of total net intangible assets, irredeemable preferred stock and minority interests. The Group was in compliance with these financial covenants as at December 31, 2011. The remaining bank credit lines and borrowings do not have any financial reporting or administrative covenants restricting the Group’s operating, investing and financing activities.
