China.com Friday purchased Netville Co, CLIC and A4 Communications in
Korea, as well as Pandora Interactive Studio PTE Ltd in Singapore.
Terms of those deals were not announced. The company said the buys will drive its pan-Asia portal strategy.
Amid China.com's tremendous week in the market, it has lost its CFO David
Kim to Asian Internet heavyweight Softbank. He will produce
non-Japan SOFTBANK properties in Asia, raising funds for SOFTBANK's Asia
properties, bringing the company's Asian properties to public markets.
Kim, who had joined Hong Kong-based China.com in 1998, led his previous employer through the first Chinese Internet IPO on the Nasdaq and left the company on friendly terms. China.com's COO Peter Hamilton will assume the additional role until a new CFO is appointed.
"This team is effectively executing its unique business strategy across the Asian region and the evidence of this can be found in our recent financial results which show revenues growing well ahead of expectations," said Peter
Yip, China.com's CEO. "It is for reasons such as this that we are ideally
placed to capitalize on the wealth of opportunities that the Internet
presents in China and the rest of Asia."
The company previously announced that it expects to see profit by 2002 or 2003.
China.com had an explosive IPO on the Nasdaq on July 14, only to watch most
of its gains fall back after the Chinese government announced a ban on
foreign investments in the Internet sector. While most analysts have been
wary of China's tenuous relationship with the Net, traders and analysts
alike were encouraged by the WTO deal and led the stampede back to China investments.
