ITEM 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure

On January 31, 2007, Inforte issued a release announcing, among other things, that, Inforte had decided to take certain actions with respect to its investment in Provansis LLC as of December 31, 2006. Provansis LLC is a joint venture formed in 2005 in which Inforte made a 19% equity investment and extended a loan. In the last quarter of 2006, Provansis LLC impaired the tangible asset contributed to Provansis LLC by its other major equity holder, prompting Inforte to record its 19% of this loss which was approximately $1.4 million. After recording the loss related to the intangible asset, the remaining Provansis equity investment of $150,000 was also written off. A provision of $2.2 million was made for a loss on the note receivable from Provansis LLC, resulting in a tax impact of $800,000. Inforte reviewed its foreign tax assets and, given the Provansis related write-offs and other non-recurring items in the last three years which have driven overall tax losses, Inforte booked a valuation allowance of $1.1 million. There was no cash impact from any of these actions. The total non-cash expense associated with all these actions was $5.7 million. Inforte made the conclusion to take such actions in connection with the preparation of audited financial statements to be included in its next Annual Report on Form 10-K. The text of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K (Regulation FD Disclosure).
