References to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” or “Infosmart” refer to Infosmart Group, Inc., a California corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Our Business
Infosmart Group, Inc., through our wholly owned subsidiary Infosmart Group Limited (“Infosmart BVI”), is in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and sales of recordable digital versatile disc (“DVDR”) optical media, and manufacturing recordable compact discs (“CDR”). We manufacture DVDRs with 8x and 16x writable speeds as well as CDRs with 52x writable speed. We are also preparing for the manufacturing of Blu-Ray format DVDR discs. We have customers in Western Europe, Australia, China and South America. We manufacture and ship our products from Hong Kong where we operate state-of-the-art DVDR and CDR manufacturing facilities.
Corporate Structure
We own all of the capital stock of Infosmart BVI, a holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Infosmart BVI beneficially owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of: (i) Info Smart Technology Limited (“IS Technology”), a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong; (ii) Info Smart International Enterprises Limited (“IS International”), a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong; and (iii) Portabello Global Limited (“Portabello”), a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. IS Technology owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Infoscience Media Limited (“IS Media”), a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong. IS Media owns 99.42% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Discobras Industria E Comercio de Eletro Eletronica Ltda., a company incorporated under the laws of Brazil (“Discobras”), the remaining 0.58% ownership interest in Discobras is held by our local Brazilian partner. During the year 2006, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Infoscience Holdings Limited (“IS Holdings”), a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong, through IS Media. IS Media has a Cooperation Agreement with IS Holdings wherein it manufactures its DVDRs using certain patent licenses and manufacturing licenses owned by IS Holdings. IS Media acquired IS Holdings to guarantee the continuation of this agreement and obtained the right to use the relevant patent licenses and manufacturing licenses.
New Brazilian Facility
In March 2006, IS Media formed Discobras, a Brazilian company, with a local partner, with registered capital of US$8 million for our new Brazilian DVDR production facility. We relocated some of our DVDR manufacturing equipment to Brazil in November 2006 and installed them in January 2007. Trial production in Brazil began in March 2007, and is currently producing at full capacity. In addition, the owners of the technologies and intellectual property necessary for the production of our products require that we obtain separate Patent Licenses for the use of intellectual property in our new DVDR manufacturing facility in Brazil. We are currently in the process of obtaining these Patent Licenses.
$5 Million Commercial Secured Loan
On April 30, 2008, we closed a $5,000,000 commercial secured lending transaction (the “Loan”) with two institutional investors (the “Lenders”). We entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Lenders loaned to us an aggregate of $4,000,000 at a 20% original issue discount from the aggregate $5,000,000 principal amount. The proceeds of this financing were marked for our development of Blu-Ray Disc (DB) sales and marketing efforts in local and international markets.
Class A Warrant Offering
On June 12, 2008, we closed a private offering of Class A Warrants exercisable for an aggregate 220,000 shares of our common stock and received an aggregate purchase price of $220.00. We entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with each Class A Warrant-holder from this offering. The proceeds of this financing shall be used for working capital.

In 2005, 2006, and 2007, we had approximately $24.6 million, $27.1 million, and $105 million in sales, respectively.

Risks Affecting Our Business
We are subject to a number of risks, which you should be aware of before deciding to purchase the securities in this offering. These risks are discussed in the summary below and in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 19 of this prospectus.
Summary of Risk Factors
This document contains certain statements of a forward-looking nature. Such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to growth and strategies, future operating and financial results, financial expectations and current business indicators are based upon current information and expectations and are subject to change based on factors beyond our control. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by the use of terms such as “look,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “might,” “believe,” “plan,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate” and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently. The accuracy of such statements may be impacted by a number of business risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated, including but not limited to:
| · | our ability to timely and accurately complete orders for our products; |
| · | our dependence on a limited number of major customers; |
| · | political and economic conditions within the PRC; |
| · | our ability to expand and grow our distribution channels; |
| · | general economic conditions which affect consumer demand for our products; |
| · | the effect of terrorist acts, or the threat thereof, on consumer confidence and spending; |
| · | acceptance in the marketplace of our new products and changes in consumer preferences; |
| · | foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; |
| · | our ability to identify and successfully execute cost control initiatives; and |
| · | other risks outlined above and in our other public filings. |
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document. We undertake no obligation to update this forward-looking information.
While our management fully intends to make concerted efforts to manage these risks, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so successfully. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 19 of this prospectus.
Strategic Financing
On April 30, 2008 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to we which we agreed to issue Debentures with an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Debentures”) and 5-year warrants exercisable for 19,083,970 shares of our common stock (the “Class A Warrants”) to two institutional investors (the “Lenders”) for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000 at a 20% original issue discount (the “Loan”).
The Debentures are secured by all of our assets subordinate only to bank debt, whether existing as of the Closing Date or accumulated in the future but not to exceed the aggregate amount of $12,000,000. The Debentures accrue interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable monthly in cash or in registered shares of our common stock, at the Company’s sole option. All principal and any accrued but unpaid interest on the Debentures is due in full on April 30, 2009.
In the event of a default under the Debentures, the Lenders may accelerate the maturity of the Debentures and demand immediate payment in full, and the interest rate will increase to 18% per annum until we repay in full all outstanding principal, interest, and fees. We may from time to time, on 10 trading days’ notice, prepay all or any portion of the Debentures, provided however, that the prepayment amount paid shall be 125% of the prepaid principal plus any accrued interest.
The Class A Warrants are exercisable for an aggregate 19,083,970 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.262 and contain a cashless exercise provision that the Lenders may utilize after six months from the Closing Date. Within 180 days of the Closing Date (“Quotation Deadline”), we must obtain a ticker symbol for the Class A Warrants and have the Class A Warrants quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (or similar exchange). If the Class A Warrants are not quoted on the OTCBB by the Quotation Deadline, then we must pay the Lenders the equivalent of 1.5% of the principal amount of the Loan per month, which amount shall not exceed a total amount of 18%.
In connection with the Loan, we paid placement agent fees of $283,000 and issued 4-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 1,335,878 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $0.328 and must pay placement agent fees of 7% of any cash proceeds we receive upon exercise of the Class A Warrants. Use of the net proceeds of the loan is for general corporate practices.
In connection with the Loan, we must apply to have our common stock listed on either Nasdaq, the American Stock Exchange, or the New York Stock Exchange by May 29, 2009 (“New Listing Deadline”). If we do not meet the New Listing Deadline, then we must pay to the Lenders the equivalent of 1% of the principal amount of the Loan, not to exceed a total amount of 10%.
Upon the earlier of (i) September 1, 2008, or (ii) the date that 100% of our outstanding and unconverted Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is mandatorily converted into shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms of our Certificate of Determination of Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, we have the option to restructure the loan by canceling the Debentures and issuing to the Lenders secured convertible debentures for an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Restructure Debentures”). Our option to restructure the loan expires on September 10, 2008. If we do not opt to restructure the loan, then on September 11, 2008, the exercise price of the Class A Warrants will automatically adjust to $0.01 per share.
We agreed to register for resale the 19,393,970 Class A Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the Class A Warrants on a registration statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus forms a part. In the event that our registration statement is not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) within 120 days after the Closing Date, or 150 days after the Closing Date in the case of a “full review” by the SEC, we will owe liquidated damages to the Lenders of 2% of the principal amount of the Debentures in cash until the registration statement is declared effective. The liquidated damages payable to the Lenders in the event of non-registration or late effectiveness is subject to a maximum limit of 10% of the total principal amount of the Debentures, or $500,000. The Lender’s registration rights and our registration obligations are set forth in a registration rights agreement that we entered into in connection with the Loan.
The securities were offered and sold in the transaction described above to accredited investors in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), under Regulation D.
On June 12, 2008, we closed the sale of additional Class A Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $190. We entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with each Class A Warrant-holder from this offering. The Class A Warrants from this offering are exercisable for an aggregate 190,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.262 and contain a cashless exercise provision that the Class A Warrant-holders may utilize after six months from the issuance date of such warrants. These securities were offered and sold in the offering described above to accredited and/or sophisticated investors in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), under Regulation D.

BUSINESS
We are in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and sales of recordable digital versatile disc (“DVDR”) media and recordable compact discs (“CDR”). We manufacture DVDRs with 8x and 16x writable speeds as well as CDRs with 52x writable speeds, and have been developing our DVD-R manufacturing basis in both Hong Kong and Brazil to capture the worldwide market. As the “war” between high density format DVDR (“HD-DVD”) and Blu-ray DVD formats has ended with the Blu-ray DVD format surviving in the marketplace to become the latest format of DVD recordable media, we have a new perspective in business development in the world market for the next 5 years. We have acquired the first set of Blu-ray DVD replication systems in the China/Hong Kong region and will devote more resources to developing the market for Blu-ray DVD replication systems. We have customers in Western Europe, Australia, China and South America.
We produce our products through our three main operational business subsidiaries, Info Smart Technology Limited (“IS Technology”), Info Smart International Enterprises Limited (“IS International”) and Infoscience Media Limited (“IS Media”) at our state-of-the-art DVDR manufacturing facilities in Hong Kong.
In December 2006, IS Media acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Infoscience Holdings Limited (“IS Holdings”). IS Media has a cooperation agreement with IS Holdings wherein it manufactures its DVDRs using certain patent licenses owned by IS Holdings. IS Media acquired IS Holdings to guarantee the continuation of this cooperation agreement. We also have a Brazilian subsidiary, Discobras Industria E Comercio de Electro Eletronica Limiteda (“Discobras”), which was formed in March 2006 by IS Media and a local partner, with registered capital of US$8 million for our new Brazilian DVDR production facility. IS Media currently holds a 99.42% ownership interest in Discobras, and the local partner holds the remaining 0.58% ownership interest in Discobras. In addition, we incorporated a new subsidiary, Portabello Global Limited (“Portabello”), for distributing and reselling our recordable digital versatile discs and media to customers in South America.
History and Development of the Company
History
We were incorporated on July 16, 1996 in the State of California under the name Cyber Merchants Exchange, Inc. In July 1999, we raised approximately $3.2 million through an initial public offering. On June 30, 2000, we raised an additional $6.3 million in a private placement offering subscribed by 30 high net-worth Chinese investors. Prior to our reorganization, as described below, we were an intermediary to global suppliers and buyers in the manufacturing, wholesaling and retailing apparel business. Effective October 12, 2006, we changed our name from Cyber Merchants Exchange, Inc. to Infosmart Group, Inc. (the “Company”).
Company Reorganization
On May 16, 2004, our shareholders of record on March 25, 2005 approved a reorganization of the Company (the "Company Reorganization"). The Company Reorganization is summarized as follows:
| · | We transferred of all of our assets and liabilities (the "Transfer") to ASAP Show Inc., a then wholly owned subsidiary ("ASAP"), effective May 31, 2005 pursuant to a Transfer and Assumption Agreement (“Transfer Agreement”), with ASAP continuing to operate the trade show business previously carried on by us; |
| · | We issued a stock bonus to certain directors and key employees of 120,862 shares of our common stock, on a post-reverse split basis, effective May 31, 2005 (the “Stock Bonus”); |
| · | We effected a one for eight and one-half (1-for-8.5) reverse stock split of our common stock (the "Reverse Split") with special treatment to preserve round lot stockholders, effective July 18, 2005; |
| · | On or about August 25, 2005, we distributed 8,626,480 shares of common stock of ASAP, representing all of the outstanding shares of ASAP, to our shareholders of record on August 18, 2005 on a pro rata basis (the "Distribution"), with such distributed shares being held by our transfer agent as depository agent until such time as the Form 10-SB filed by ASAP became effective with all comments from the SEC cleared (certificates representing such shares were issued by the transfer agent to the shareholders on or about March 27, 2006); |
| · | We entered into an amended and restated Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with KI Equity effective as of August 25, 2005; and |
| · | On September 30, 2005, we completed the sale of 7,104,160 shares of our common stock to KI Equity for $415,000 (the "Investment"), with the net proceeds of the Investment being paid to ASAP pursuant to the terms of the Transfer Agreement. |
In connection with the closing of the Investment, our then current directors and officers resigned, and Kevin Keating was appointed the sole director and officer of the Company. We accounted for the Company Reorganization as a reverse spinoff in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. (“EITF”) 02-11, “Accounting for Reverse Spinoffs.” In a reverse spinoff, the legal spinnee (ASAP) is treated as though it were the spinnor for accounting purposes. Reverse spinoff accounting is appropriate as the treatment of the legal spinnee as the accounting spinnor results in the most accurate depiction of the substance of the transaction for shareholders and other users of the consolidated financials statements. Under this treatment, the historical financial statements of the Company became the historical financial statements of ASAP. In making its determination, the Company considered the following indicators, among others: (i) the accounting spinnor (legal spinnee, ASAP) is larger than the accounting spinnee (legal spinnor, the Company); (ii) the fair value of the accounting spinnor (legal spinnee) is greater than that of the accounting spinnee (legal spinnor); (iii) the accounting spinnor (legal spinnee) retains the senior management of the formerly combined entity; and (iv) the accounting spinnor (legal spinnee) retains senior management. As a result of the Company Reorganization, the Company became a shell company with nominal assets and operations, with a business purpose being to identify, evaluate and complete a business combination with an operating company.
Brazilian Facility
In March 2006, IS Media formed Discobras, a Brazilian company, with a local partner, with registered capital of US$8 million for our new Brazilian DVDR production facility. We relocated some of our DVDR manufacturing equipment to Brazil in November 2006 and installed them in January 2007. Trial production in Brazil began in March 2007, and is currently producing at full capacity. In addition, the owners of the technologies and intellectual property necessary for the production of our products require that we obtain separate Patent Licenses for the use of intellectual property in our new DVDR manufacturing facility in Brazil. We are currently in the process of obtaining these Patent Licenses.
Change in Control Transaction
On July 7, 2006, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with KI Equity Partners LLC, Prime Fortune Enterprises Ltd. (“Prime”), the equity owners of Prime, namely, Mr. Chung Kwok, Ms. Po Nei Sze and Prime Corporate Developments Limited (the “Prime Shareholders”), and Hamptons Investment Group Ltd. (“Hamptons”) (collectively the “Infosmart BVI Shareholders”) to acquire all of the equity ownership of Infosmart Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Infosmart BVI”) through the acquisition of Prime, the former 100% direct equity owner and holding company of Infosmart BVI. Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, immediately prior to the closing of the share exchange transaction, Hamptons was to receive 58.82352 shares of Prime’s capital stock as payment for its services as a finder in connection with the exchange transaction.
On August 11, 2006, however, and prior to the closing of the share exchange transaction, Prime’s and Infosmart BVI’s board of directors and their respective shareholders agreed to restructure the ownership of Infosmart BVI’s issued capital stock, resulting in the transfer of the entire equity ownership of Infosmart BVI directly to Mr. Chung Kwok, Ms. Po Nei Sze and Prime Corporate Developments Limited. On August 14, 2006, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Exchange Agreement with KI Equity, Prime, the equity owners of Prime, Infosmart BVI, the equity owners of Infosmart BVI (which also consisted of Mr. Chung Kwok, Ms. Lui Sau Wan and Prime Corporate Developments Limited), and Hamptons, whereby Infosmart BVI and the Infosmart BVI Shareholders replaced Prime and the Prime Shareholders as a parties to the Exchange Agreement, and they assumed all of Prime’s and the Prime Shareholders’ obligations, representations, warranties, liabilities and responsibilities under the Exchange Agreement, including Prime’s obligation to issue the shares of stock to compensate Hamptons for its services immediately prior to the closing of the share exchange transaction. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Infosmart BVI’s capital stock from the equity owners of Infosmart BVI and Hamptons, and the Infosmart BVI Shareholders transferred and contributed all of their Infosmart BVI shares to the Company. In exchange, the Company issued to the Infosmart BVI Shareholders 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, which were convertible into 116,721,360 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The closing of the Exchange Agreement was contingent on a minimum of $7,000,000 being subscribed for, and funded into escrow, by certain accredited and institutional investors (“Investors”) for the purchase of shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock promptly after the closing of the Exchange Agreement under terms and conditions approved by the Company’s board of directors immediately following the Exchange Agreement (the “Financing”). The closing of the Financing was contingent on the closing of the Exchange Agreement, and the Exchange Agreement was contingent on the closing of the Financing.
$7.65 Million Financing
Immediately following the closing of the Exchange Agreement, we received gross proceeds of approximately $7.65 million in connection with the Financing from the Investors. Pursuant to Subscription Agreements entered into with these Investors, we sold 1,092,857.143 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock at a price per share of $7.00. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock. We registered the common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock issued in the Financing with the SEC for resale by the Investors. After commissions and expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $6.89 million in the Financing.
In connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock to the Investors, the Company issued warrants to the Investors to purchase an aggregate of 29,310,345 shares of common stock, on as-converted basis, of the Company. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.326 per share, subject to adjustments.
Keating Securities, LLC and Axiom Capital Management, Inc. (“Placement Agents”) acted as placement agent in connection with the Financing. For their services, the Placement Agents received a commission equal to 8% of the gross proceeds from the Financing and a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 2% of the gross proceeds. In addition, the Placement Agents received, for nominal consideration, five-year warrants to purchase 10% of the number of shares of common stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock issued in the Financing may be converted (“Placement Agent Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable at any time at a price equal 125% of the conversion price, on a net-issuance or cashless basis. The Placement Agent Warrants have registration rights similar to the registration rights afforded to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants. The Company also paid for the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Placement Agent and all purchasers in the amount of $25,000.
Upon completion of the exchange transaction, and after giving effect to the Financing, the Infosmart BVI Shareholders owned 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, and the Investors in the aggregate received 1,092,857.143 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into 116,721,360 shares of common stock upon the filing and approval of a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of California on October 12, 2006. Immediately after the exchange transaction, the Infosmart BVI Shareholders and the Investors owned, in the aggregate, 91.84% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock after giving effect to the conversion of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock into common stock, and the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to the exchange transaction owned 8.16% of the outstanding common stock (or, 12,969,040 shares of our common stock) after giving effect to the conversion of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock into common stock.
The issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares to the Infosmart BVI Shareholders and, upon conversion, the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Shares, was intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to Regulation S promulgated thereunder. The issuance of the Series B Preferred Shares to Investors was intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and such other available exemptions. As such, the Series A Preferred Shares and the Series B Preferred Shares, and upon conversion thereof, the Company’s common stock, may not be offered or sold in the United States unless they are registered under the Securities Act, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available.
Name Change and Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock
On October 12, 2006, the Company effected an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 40,000,000 shares to 300,000,000 shares and also effected a change of the Company’s corporate name (the “Name Change”) to “Infosmart Group, Inc.” (the “Amendments”) through the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the State of California’s Secretary of State. Per the conversion rights set forth in the Certificate of Determination for the Series A Preferred Stock, upon filing and acceptance of the Amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, all of the Series A Preferred Stock were automatically converted into approximately 116,721,360 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company’s Name Change and its trading symbol (OTCBB: IFSG) became effective on the OTC Bulletin Board on October 18, 2006.
$5 Million Commercial Secured Loan
On April 30, 2008, we closed a $5,000,000 commercial secured lending transaction (the “Loan”) with two institutional investors (the “Lenders”). We entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Lenders loaned to us an aggregate of $4,000,000 at a 20% original issue discount from the aggregate $5,000,000 principal amount. The proceeds of this financing were marked for our development of Blu-Ray Disc (DB) sales and marketing efforts in local and international markets.
Class A Warrant Offering
As described more fully above, on June 12, 2008, we also closed a private warrant offering in which we sold Class A Warrants exercisable for an aggregate 220,000 shares of our common stock and received an aggregate purchase price of $220. We entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with each Class A Warrant-holder from this offering.
Infosmart BVI
Infosmart Group Limited (“Infosmart BVI”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on August 23, 2005 under the International Business Companies Act of the British Virgin Islands. Prior to the Restructuring (as described above), Prime Fortune Enterprises Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Prime”), was the sole equity owner and shareholder of 100% of Infosmart BVI’s issued capital shares. In August 2006, the board of directors of both Prime and Infosmart BVI decided to restructure certain shareholdings in Infosmart BVI so that after the Restructuring, Prime would no longer own 100% of Infosmart BVI’s issued capital shares and so that Prime Corporate Developments Ltd. (“Prime Corporate”), Mr. Chung Kwok and Ms. Sau Wan Lui would replace Prime as the direct owners of 100% of the issued capital shares and equity ownership of Infosmart BVI.
Prior to the Restructuring, Prime owned 100% of the issued capital shares of Infosmart BVI, which consisted of one (1) issued capital share, and Prime’s issued capital shares were owned as follows: 713 shares held by Prime Corporate, 212 shares held by Mr. Chung Kwok, and 75 shares held by Lui Sau Wan. On August 11, 2006, in connection with the Restructuring, Prime’s board of directors approved resolutions for Prime to transfer the one (1) issued capital share of Infosmart BVI owned by Prime to Prime shareholder Chung Kwok in exchange for a cash payment of $1.00 (the “Prime Transfer”), and that pursuant to such resolutions, Prime transferred the one Infosmart BVI share to Chung Kwok on August 11, 2006 in exchange for the $1.00 cash payment.
Further, on August 11, 2006 and concurrent with the Prime Transfer, Infosmart BVI’s Board approved resolutions for the issuance of 999 new shares in Infosmart BVI to Prime Corporate Developments Limited (“Prime Corporate”), Chung Kwok and Lui Sau Wan, as follows: 713 shares to Prime Corporate, 211 shares to Chung Kwok, and 75 shares to Lui Sau Wan, in exchange for a cash payment by Prime Corporate, Chung Kwok and Lui Sau Wan of $1.00 per Infosmart BVI share that each receives (the “Infosmart BVI Share Issuance”) or an aggregate total payment of $999 for such shares. On August 11, 2006, Infosmart BVI issued the 999 Infosmart BVI shares, in amounts as described above, to Prime Corporate, Chung Kwok and Lui Sau Wan and, in exchange, received the $999 cash payment, pursuant to such resolutions.
As a result of and immediately after the Prime Transfer and the Infosmart BVI Share Issuance, Prime Corporate, Mr. Chung Kwok and Ms. Sau Wan Lui became the owners of 100% of the issued capital shares of Infosmart BVI, with each of them owning the same number of Infosmart BVI shares as the number of Prime shares that each currently owns. Pursuant to a group reorganization completed in October 2005 (the “Infosmart BVI Reorganization”), Infosmart BVI is the holding company (directly and indirectly) of IS Technology, IS International, IS Media, and Discobras.
Infosmart BVI started in the DVDR manufacturing business with the establishment of IS Technology. Founded in Hong Kong in August of 2002, IS Technology was the first company in Hong Kong to manufacture recordable digital versatile discs. With the continual growth in DVDR demand, the initial shareholders of IS Technology took in other shareholders to form two other companies, IS International and IS Media Limited, to produce DVDRs. , In December 2006, IS Media acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Infoscience Holdings Limited (“IS Holdings”). IS Media has a Cooperation Agreement with IS Holdings wherein it manufactures its DVDRs using certain patent licenses owned by IS Holdings. IS Media acquired IS Holdings to guarantee the continuation of this agreement. These four companies and Discobras now form the Company’s main operational business in Hong Kong and Brazil respectively.
Organizational Structure
As a result of the share exchange transaction, the Company Reorganization, the Infosmart BVI Reorganization, the Restructuring, and subsequent acquisitions of new subsidiaries, our current organizational structure is as follows (the percentages depict the current equity interests):
Our Business
We develop, manufacture, market and sell 8x and 16x writable speed DVDRs and 52x writable speed CDRs, and we are preparing for manufacturing of Blu-Ray format DVDR discs. In order to act as a one-stop-shop for the optical storage media needs for our customers, we also outsource orders for products we do not produce ourselves, such as DVD±RW discs and DVD-RAM discs and other low margin DVDR items. We have customers in Western Europe, China, South America and Australia. To capture the South American market, we have established a sales and distribution network in Brazil and set up a DVDR production facility in Brazil, and we have a subsidiary, Portabello, that distributes and resells our recordable digital versatile discs and media to customers in South America.
Current Products
We currently develop, manufacture, market and sell recordable digital versatile discs (“DVDRs”). A DVDR is an optical disc storage media format that can be used for data storage, including movies with high video and sound quality. DVDRs are manufactured with different writable speed ratings. The writable speed ratings of blank DVDRs match the speed at which the recording lasers in digital versatile disc (“DVD”) drives (such as those found in DVD players or the DVD disc drives in computers) can write or “burn” data onto the DVDRs. Currently, most DVD drives are able to write or “burn” data onto DVDRs at 8 times (“8x”) or 16 times (“16x”) the industry set standard speed for writing or “burning” data onto a DVDR disc. We manufacture discs with 8x and 16x writable speed ratings. We estimate that our sales of our 8x writable speed DVDRs account for approximately 60% of our output, while 16x writable speed DVDRs make up approximately 40% of our output.
In December 2007, we stopped producing CDRs in Hong Kong and began producing DVDRs due to higher margins from DVDRs as compared to CDRs. However, in order to ensure “one-stop” shopping to our customers in our distribution channels, we outsource the production of our CDRs and devote more resources to the manufacture of DVDRs. According to Techno Systems Research Co., Ltd. (Japan), total global production volume of CD media in 2007 was 14,024,200,000 discs. We currently outsource CDRs with a standard capacity of 700MB for data and 80MIN for music.
We have also distributed flash drives and memory cards through the channels of distributions in both Asia and South American that we have established. Therefore, we have started procuring flash drives and memory cards from outside manufacturers for distribution within our current channels which has proven to be very successful.
The following is a segment analysis of our products:
| | Flash drive and memory card Twelve months ended December 31, | | DVDR and Related Products Twelve months ended December 31, | | CDR Twelve months ended December 31, | | Total Twelve months ended December 31, | |

Research and Development
We plan to invest at least $10 million in the upcoming year for Blu-ray replication production lines in the upcoming year, with the first Blu-ray replication systems being purchased at about $1.4 million. This move is in line with our strategy of keeping ourselves as the leader and forerunner of recordable media manufacturers in the world. We foresee inputting additional resources in purchasing and installing more production lines in 2008 and in Brazil by 2009 as the market for Blu-ray DVD players and writers become more mature.
Manufacturing
We currently operate two factories in both Hong Kong and Brazil, with a combined production capacity of approximately 15 million 8x, 16x writable speed, single layer DVDRs and CDRs per month. Currently, our product mix is approximately 60% of 8x DVDRs, approximately 40% of 16x DVDRs, and approximately 60% of CDRs. We have the flexibility to switch production easily between the two product types. After manufacturing the DVDRs and CDRs, we put our products through a rigorous quality assurance process. Our Quality Management System complies with ISO9001:2000 requirements, and we are ISO 9000 certified. As a result of the Blu-ray format DVD prevailing over the HD-DVD in the battle of dominating the future format of DVDR, we purchased the first set of Blu-ray DVD production replication systems in the China/Hong Kong region in order to meet the demands in the high definition media storage market
Intellectual Properties and Licenses
Our subsidiary, Infoscience Media Limited (“IS Media”) entered into a cooperation agreement (“Cooperation Agreement”) with Infoscience Holdings Limited, a then independent third party and currently a subsidiary of IS Media (“IS Holdings”), on December 1, 2005. Under the Cooperation Agreement, the parties agreed to operationally combine their production facilities so that both IS Media and IS Holdings could both produce DVDRs at their combined facilities using certain intellectual properties for the production of DVDRs for which IS Holdings holds patent licenses (the “Patent License”) for use from the DVDR developer (the “License Agreement”) and also a right to manufacture DVDRs under a government manufacturing license (the ”Manufacturing License”) held by IS Holdings. IS Holdings also agreed that IS Media shall have full legal and beneficial ownership of the first 5,000,000 DVDR discs (the “Second Minimum Quantity”) produced in both IS Media’s and IS Holding’s production facilities (the “Combined Facilities”) for each whole month during the one year term of the Cooperation Agreement.
In exchange, IS Media agreed: (1) IS Holdings shall receive full legal and beneficial ownership of all DVDRs produced in the Combined Facilities that are in excess of the Second Minimum Quantity; and (2) to provide IS Holdings with stand-by credit of not more than HK$30,000,000 from IS Media’s own sources or indirectly from any third party including any licensed Hong Kong bank. Under the Cooperation Agreement, IS Holdings is responsible for paying all the relevant licensee fees, and IS Media is responsible for all the recurrent costs and expenses (except for rent and public utilities, for which each party is responsible for the costs they incur in their own production facility) incurred for the production of all DVDR products manufactured in the Combined Facilities during the one year term of the Cooperation Agreement.
IS Media purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of IS Holdings on December 1, 2006 by entering into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with New Passion Investments Limited. Thus, the Company now indirectly owns the Manufacturing License and Patent License. The Cooperation Agreement was extended for a further 2 years until December 31, 2008.
The patent license held by IS Holdings was obtained through a joint patent licensing program (the “DVDR Patent License Program”) that is administered by Koninklijke Philips Electronics, N.V. (“Philips”). Parties acquiring the patent licenses through this DVDR Patent License Program are allowed to use patents owned (or for which these companies have patent applications pending) by participating companies including Philips, Sony, Hewlett Packard and/or Pioneer that are essential in the DVDR manufacturing process. The patent license offered through Philips’ DVDR Patent Licensing Program is offered under non-discriminatory terms and conditions and, in principle, is available to all manufacturers.
In connection with the completion of the Discobras DVDR production facility in Brazil, we started the process of obtaining the required patent license for use of intellectual property. Discobras has satisfied the relevant governmental requirements in Brazil to produce DVDRs in its production facility. The patent license, however, is currently being negotiated with the relevant owners of the patent which are overseas companies located outside of Brazil, and the Brazilian government must approve the patent license.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers
Raw material costs constitute approximately 60% of the production costs for DVDR and CDR discs. Key materials used in DVDR production are polycarbonate, silver target, organic dye, printing oil and bonding glue. The most important cost item is polycarbonate, which accounts for about half of cost of goods sold.
The supply market for polycarbonate is competitive. Major polycarbonate suppliers include Teijin Chemicals, Dow Chemical, General Electric, Bayer, and Mitsubishi. We order polycarbonate from a variety of sources depending on price and availability. Since polycarbonate is a petroleum byproduct, its price is affected by crude oil prices and can be volatile. We place three (3) month supply contracts with polycarbonate vendors. These supply contracts guarantee quantity but leave pricing to be determined by the market.
Polycarbonate prices increased from $1.90 - 2.50/kg in 2004 to around $2.80/kg - $3.50/kg in 2005 because of surging oil prices and supply constraints, thereby seriously cutting the profit margins of disc manufacturers worldwide. Capacity was hit in 2004 by the explosion of GE’s PCB factory in Spain. At the end of 2005, worldwide polycarbonate capacity expanded as a major new factory came online in Shanghai, and two other large factories in Japan and the U.S. expanded output in response to higher market prices. Polycarbonate prices were approximately $3.00/kg - $3.10/kg at the beginning of 2006 and dropped into the $2.80-$3.10 range at the end of 2006. We have worked closely with polycarbonate suppliers as we are a bulk volume purchaser for production in Hong Kong and Brazil, and we were able to negotiate prices to about $2.618/kg at the end of 2007 and about $2.6/kg for early 2008.
Marketing and Distribution
More than 90% of our sales are to wholesalers and distributors who resell to retailers. We have increased our exposure in Europe, USA, South America, the Middle East, Asia and China through our marketing efforts and attendance at trade shows such as:
| · | CeBIT (Hannover, Germany) 2003, 2004, 2005 |
| · | Comdex (Las Vegas, USA) 2003 |
| · | Computex (Taipei, Taiwan) 2004 |
| · | Gitex (Dubai, UAE) 2004 and 2005 |
| · | China Sourcing Fairs 2004 |
| · | Hong Kong Electronics Show 2004, 2005, 2006 |
During 2007, and as a result of our operations in Brazil, we established our brands “LASERLINE” and “HONGTEK” in the Brazilian and South American markets. We will continue direct sales efforts into these markets in 2008 as such efforts have proven effective even though we outsource products from other suppliers.
We also anticipate the increased use of Portabello and Infoscience Media Global Limited in marketing to small-scale distributors in South America and the China/Hong Kong region, respectively.
Current Customers
We have established a wide client base and distribution network covering Europe/United Kingdom, the Middle East, Australia, South America and Asia.
Our top three customers by value, who accounted for 23.07% of our revenue in 2007, are as follows:
| · | Laser Corporation markets our DVDR blank media in Australia. Laser Corporation obtains almost 100% of its DVDR blank media supplies from us. Sales to Laser Corporation account for approximately 8.76% of our revenue. |
| · | China Trade Group Limited markets our SD card in China and obtains about 80% of its SD card supplies from us. Sales to China Trade Group account for approximately 8.07% of our revenue. |

Management expects that the proportion of revenue accounted for by these customers will decrease as its markets develop in South America. We will be careful to maintain relationships with existing customers in developed countries because they are expected to be volume buyers of our Blu-ray discs in the future. During 2007, we considered the products competing with DVDRs such as flash cards and took a pro-active approach in marketing our own brand of flash cards with core technology patented by a Taiwan company.
Our pricing and payment terms are flexible. Our objective is to build a strong base of loyal customers, and management will offer competitive prices to capture market share in specific markets that have strong growth prospects. Our payment terms are more stringent for new customers and more flexible for long-term customers and established businesses.

*Note: 1GB = 1024 MB
Optical storage media, hard discs, USB drives and flash memory are the most commonly used computer storage media. Hard discs have up to 500GB of capacity, cost around $0.75/GB and are the most economical choice for large storage needs. The hard disc, however, is less versatile, more fragile and harder to install than optical storage media; it is also bulky and has poor portability.
Both USB drives and flash memory are compact in size, provide great portability and reusability, but are relatively expensive and have limited storage capacity (maximum only 1-2 GB). These devices are mainly used to store computer and music/home video files where portability is required. Floppy disc capacity is too small for multimedia or today’s software files.
For full movies or computer file backups recordable compact discs and DVDRs offer large (from 750MB to 9.4GB) and economical (from $0.18 to $0.80 per disc) storage solutions. Rewritable DVDR discs (“DVD±RW”) are reusable but are more expensive, and therefore less popular, than write-once DVDR discs that we produce.
The victory of the Blu-ray DVD over the HD-DVD means that the market is looking for highly-compact data storage media and higher resolutions for entertainment content. This means that consumers are willing to pay higher prices for a better entertainment experience. We are exploring this opportunity in order to establish a product with higher margins for the Company. We do, however, foresee that the DVDR market will continue to contribute significantly to our revenue and profits, particularly in the South American markets. The strategy of having a whole array of storage media products distributed in our channels enables our own distribution network to have a “one-stop” product source with the Company as a way to mitigate competition in the same channels.
Competitor Companies
Our competitors are numerous and include companies such as CMC Magnetics, Ritek, NBI and UME Disc Group. Some of our competitors have significantly larger manufacturing market share, but that is not necessarily indicative of greater profitability. We believe that we have achieved optimal capacity and can match the lowest single layer DVDR production costs anywhere in the industry.
Government Regulation and Probability of Affecting Business
The development of our products is generally not subject to government regulation. However, because we market and sell our products in other countries, importation and exportation regulations may impact our activities. A breach of these laws or regulations may result in the imposition of penalties or fines, suspension or revocation of licenses. We are not currently involved in any such judicial or administrative proceedings and believe that we are in compliance with all applicable regulations.
Although it is impossible to predict with certainty the effect that additional importation and exportation requirements and other regulations may have on future earnings and operations, we are presently unaware of any future regulations that may have a material effect on our financial position, but cannot rule out the possibility.
Employees
As of June 12, 2008, we have approximately 180 full-time employees, including management. None of these employees are represented by any collective bargaining agreements. Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries have experienced a work stoppage. Management believes that our relations with our employees are good.
Bankruptcy, Receivership, or Similar Proceedings
On March 7, 2006, a complaint was filed against the Company in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware in the matter captioned In Re: Factory 2-U Stores, Inc. The complaint sought to recover from the Company $91,572 in alleged preferential transfers made to the Company by the debtor during the ninety-day period prior to the filing of the debtor's bankruptcy petition. The Company defended against the preference claim by asserting that such transfers were made in the ordinary course of business. On May 22, 2007, all parties entered into a settlement agreement, subject to the bankruptcy court’s approval. The bankruptcy court approved the settlement and dismissed the complaint with prejudice on June 21, 2007.

Description of Property
Hong Kong Offices and Facilities
Our main offices and manufacturing facilities are located in Hong Kong. We currently store and deliver products from our manufacturing facilities located in Chai Wan and Tsuen Wan, New Territories, Hong Kong. We have placed a high priority on operating a safe, clean, and well-maintained distribution facility, which is a key selling point for many of our customers. Our prime location provides excellent proximity for shipping products to a diverse customer base located in all regions of the world.
A summary description of our facilities, including the total approximate square footage of our facilities, is provided in the table below:
Location | | Principal Activities | | Area (sq. feet) | | Lease Expiration Date |

Rental expense was $214,899, $169,221, and $518,967 during 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. We believe that our existing facilities are well maintained and in good operating condition. The tenancy agreement for our office and factory premises in Hong Kong will expire in 2009.
Brazil Production Facility
In the first quarter of 2006, we started the construction of the production facility in Brazil, which was completed in February 2007. In February 2007, we relocated twelve of our existing production lines from Factory 1 to our production facility in Brazil, and we also installed eight new production lines in that facility. Our Brazilian production facility is located in Camaçari, State of Bahia, close to Salvador. The factory is approximately 1,800 sq. meters and can accommodate 26 production lines. All licenses required for the facility have been obtained, an incentive program from the State of Bahia had been approved, and the factory and the warehouse have been leased.
A summary description of our facilities in Brazil, including the total approximate square footage of our facilities, is provided in the table below:

Our Brazilian operations have been fully operating since March 2007 and have been producing to full capacity since December 2007.
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated into this prospectus that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Our limited operating history makes evaluation of our business difficult.
We have a limited operating history. Infosmart BVI was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on August 23, 2005, and IS Technology was founded in August of 2002. These limited operating histories and the unpredictability of our industry make it difficult for investors to evaluate our business and future operating results. An investor in our securities must consider the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. The risks and difficulties we face include challenges in accurate financial planning as a result of limited historical data and the uncertainties resulting from having had a relatively limited time period in which to implement and evaluate our business strategies as compared to older companies with longer operating histories.
We continually seek to develop new products and standards, which may not be widely adopted by consumers or, if adopted, may reduce demand by consumers for our older products.
We continually seek to develop new products and standards and enhance existing products and standards with higher memory capacities and other enhanced features. We cannot assure you that our new products and standards will gain market acceptance or that we will be successful in penetrating the new markets that we target. As we introduce new products and standards, it will take time for these new products and standards to be adopted, for consumers to accept and transition to these new products and standards, and for significant sales to be generated from them, if this happens at all. Moreover, broad acceptance of new products and standards by consumers may reduce demand for our older products and standards. If this decreased demand is not offset by increased demand for our new products and standards, our results of operations could be harmed. We cannot assure you that any new products or standards we develop will be commercially successful.
Our future operating results may fluctuate and cause the price of our common stock to decline.
We expect that our revenues and operating results will continue to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter due to various factors, many of which are beyond our control. The factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate include, but are not limited to:
· | price competition; |
| |
· | general price increases by suppliers and manufacturers; |
| | |
· | our ability to maintain and expand our customer relationships; | |
| | |
· | the introduction of new or enhanced products and strategic alliances by us and our competitors; | |
| | |
· | the success of our brand-building and marketing campaigns; | |
· | consumer acceptance of our products and general shifts in consumer behavior with respect to our industry; |
· | our ability to maintain, upgrade, and develop our production facilities and infrastructure; |
| |
· | technical difficulties and system downtime; |
· | the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure; |
· | general economic conditions as well as economic conditions specific to our industry; and |
| |
· | our ability to attract and retain qualified management and employees. |
If our revenues or operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our common stock could significantly decline.
Our ability to manage our future growth is uncertain.
We are currently anticipating a period of growth as a result of our corporate growth strategy, which aims to, among other things, further develop our manufacturing capabilities, expand our product offerings, and reach new customers. In pursuing these objectives, the resulting strain on our managerial, operational, financial and other resources could be significant. Success in managing such expansion and growth will depend, in part, upon the ability of senior management to manage effectively. Any failure to manage the anticipated growth and expansion could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Increased product returns will decrease our revenues and impact profitability.
We do not make allowances for product returns in our financial statements based on the fact that we have not had a material historical return rate. In order to keep product returns low, we continuously monitor product purchases and returns and may change our product offerings based on the rates of returns. If our actual product returns significantly increase, especially as we expand into new product categories, our revenues and profitability could decrease. Any changes in our policies related to product returns may result in customer dissatisfaction and fewer repeat customers.
Our growth and operating results could be impaired if we are unable to meet our future capital needs.
We may need to raise additional capital in the future to:
| · | fund more rapid expansion; |
| | |
| · | acquire or expand into new facilities; |
| | |
| · | maintain, enhance, and further develop our manufacturing systems; |
| | |
| · | develop new product categories or enhanced services; |
| · | fund acquisitions; or |
| | |
| · | respond to competitive pressures. |
If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be diluted. Furthermore, any new securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our preferred shares and the common stock into which our preferred shares are convertible. We cannot be certain that additional financing will be available when and to the extent required or that, if available, it will be on acceptable terms. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to fund our expansion, develop or enhance our products or services or respond to competitive pressures.
The loss of key senior management personnel could negatively affect our business.
We depend on the continued services and performance of our senior management and other key personnel, particularly Parker Seto, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and Sebastian Tseng, our Regional Director for South America and V.P. of Production and R&D. The loss of any of our executive officers or other key employees could harm our business. Infosmart BVI currently has employment agreements with its key personnel. Further, we expect to assume the employment agreements our executive officers currently have with Infosmart BVI that are described in more detail in the section titled “Executive Compensation - Employment Agreements” in this registration statement.
Rapid changes in technology could adversely affect our business and hurt our competitive position.
We believe that our ability to increase sales by developing appealing, innovative products has an important role to play in our growth. However, it is extremely difficult to predict future demand in the rapidly changing storage media industry and develop new technologies to meet that demand. We may fail to develop and supply in a timely manner attractive, new products with innovative technologies for this industry and its markets. In the event that our management misreads the industry and market and/or is slow in developing innovative technologies on a cost competitive basis, actual earnings could differ significantly from our forecasts. At the same time, we may cease to be able to compete in markets, resulting in a significant adverse effect on our business results and growth prospects.
The patents required for manufacturing our DVDR products are owned by multiple companies. Our failure to obtain all of the required patents to manufacture our products may interfere with our current or future product development and sales.
We have never conducted a comprehensive patent search relating to the technology we use in our products. The Patent Licenses held by IS Holdings with whom we have a Cooperation Agreement were obtained through a joint patent licensing program (the “DVDR Patent License Program”) that is administered by Koninklijke Philips Electronics, N.V. (“Philips”). Parties acquiring the patent licenses through this DVDR Patent License Program are allowed to use patents owned by companies including Philips, Sony, Pioneer and/or Hewlett Packard (or for which such companies have patent applications pending) that are essential for manufacturing DVDR products. However, there may be other issued or pending patents owned by third parties that are required for manufacturing our products for which IS Holdings does not have a patent license. If so, we could incur substantial costs defending against patent infringement claims, or we could even be blocked from selling our products. We cannot determine with certainty whether any other existing third party patents or the issuance of any new third party patents would require us or IS Holdings to alter, or obtain licenses relating to, our processes or products, or implement alternative non-infringing approaches, all at a significant additional cost to the Company. There is no assurance that we or IS Holdings will be able to obtain any such licenses on terms favorable to us, if at all, and obtaining and paying royalties on new licenses might materially increase our costs. Additionally, the fees in respect of existing licenses could increase materially in the future when these licenses are renewed, and such increase may have a significantly and adversely impact our business.
Further, the owners of the technologies and intellectual property necessary for the production of our products require that we obtain separate patent licenses for the use of intellectual property in our DVDR manufacturing facility in Brazil. We are currently in the process of obtaining these Patent Licenses.
We may be unable to retain our Hong Kong business customs license for our manufacturing facilities in Hong Kong
The Hong Kong government requires companies manufacturing DVDRs to obtain a business license for the manufacture of optical Disc/Stampers (the “Hong Kong Business License”) from the Customs and Excise Department of Hong Kong. We currently manufacture our products under the Hong Kong Business License held by IS Holdings under the Cooperation Agreement. If IS Holdings loses its Hong Kong Business License or we lose our rights under the Cooperation Agreement, there is no guarantee that we will be able to otherwise obtain the Hong Kong Business Licenses necessary to operate our manufacturing facilities in Hong Kong.
Our business may suffer if we are sued for infringing upon the intellectual property rights of third parties.
There may be cases where it is alleged that our products infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties. As a result, we may suffer damages or may be sued for damages. In either case, settlement negotiations and legal procedures would be inevitable and could be expected to be lengthy and expensive. If our assertions are not accepted in such disputes, we may have to pay damages and royalties and suffer losses such as the loss of our market share. The failure to prevent infringement on the rights of others could have a materially adverse effect on our business development, business results and financial condition.
We are dependent on certain raw materials and other products, and our business will suffer if we are unable to procure such materials and products.
Our manufacturing systems are premised on deliveries of raw materials and other supplies in adequate quality and quantity in a timely manner from many external suppliers. In new product development, we may rely on certain irreplaceable suppliers for materials. Because of this, there may be cases where supplies of raw materials and other products to us are interrupted by an accident or some other event at a supplier, supply being suspended due to quality or other issues, or a shortage of or instability in supply due to a rapid increase in demand for finished products that use certain materials and products. If any of these situations becomes protracted, we may have difficulty finding substitutes in a timely manner from other suppliers, which could have a significant, adverse effect on our production and prevent us from fulfilling our responsibilities to supply products to our customers. Furthermore, if an inbalance arises in the supply-demand equation, there could be a spike in the price of raw materials. In the event of these or other similar occurrences, there could be a material adverse effect on our business results and financial condition.
We compete in a highly competitive industry where some of our competitors are larger and have more resources than we do.
We operate in a highly competitive environment. We have competitors that are both larger and smaller than we are in terms of resources and market share. The marketplaces in which we operate are generally characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions and declining prices. In these highly competitive markets, our success will depend to a significant extent on our ability to continue to develop and introduce differentiated and innovative products and customer solutions successfully and on a timely basis. The success of our product offerings is dependent on several factors including understanding customer needs, strong digital technology, differentiation from competitive offerings, market acceptance and lower costs. Although we believe that we can take the necessary steps to meet the competitive challenges of these marketplaces, no assurance can be given with regard to our ability to take these steps, the actions of competitors, some of which will have greater resources than us, or the pace of technological changes.
Technology in our industry evolves rapidly, potentially causing our products to become obsolete, and we must continue to enhance existing systems and develop new systems, or we will lose sales.
Rapid technological advances, rapidly changing customer requirements and fluctuations in demand characterize the current market for our products. Further, there are alternative data storage media, and additional media is under development, including high capacity hard drives, new CD-R/DVDR technologies, file servers accessible through computer networks and the Internet. Our existing and development-stage products may become obsolete if our competitors introduce newer or more appealing technologies. If these technologies are patented by or are proprietary to our competitors, then we may not be able to access these technologies. We believe that we must continue to innovate and anticipate advances in the storage media industry in order to remain competitive. If we fail to anticipate or respond to technological developments or customer requirements, or if we are significantly delayed in developing and introducing products, our business will suffer in sales.
Our market is becoming more competitive. Competition may result in price reductions, lower gross profits and loss of market share.
The storage media industry is becoming more competitive, and we face the potential for increased competition in developing and selling our products. Our competitors may have or could develop or acquire significant marketing, financial, development and personnel resources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against our current or future competitors. The storage media industry has increased visibility, which may lead to large, well-known, well-financed companies entering into this market. Increased competition from manufacturers of systems or consumable supplies may result in price reductions, lower gross profit margins, increased discounts to distribution and loss of market share and could require increased spending by us on research and development, sales and marketing and customer support.
If we are unable to compete effectively with existing or new competitors, the loss of our competitive position could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced revenues, reduced margins, reduced levels of profitability and loss of market share.
We have several competitors, which include the largest DVDR manufacturers in the world. Certain of these competitors compete aggressively on price and seek to maintain very low cost structures. Some of these competitors are seeking to increase their market share, which creates increased pressure, including pricing pressure, within the market. In addition, certain of the competitors have financial and human resources that are substantially greater than ours, which increases the competitive pressures we face. Customers make buying decisions based on many factors, including among other things, new product and service offerings and features; product performance and quality; ease of doing business; a vendor’s ability to adapt to customers’ changing requirements; responsiveness to shifts in the marketplace; business model; contractual terms and conditions; vendor reputation and vendor viability. As competition increases, each factor on which we compete becomes more important and the lack of competitive advantage with respect to one or more of these factors could lead to a loss of competitive position, resulting in fewer customer orders, reduced revenues, reduced margins, reduced levels of profitability and loss of market share. We expect competitive pressure to remain intense.
The products we make have a life cycle. If we are unable to successfully time market entry and exit and manage our inventory, we may fail to enter profitable markets or exit unprofitable markets.
We operate in a highly competitive, quickly changing environment. The victory of the Blu-Ray format DVD over the HD-DVD may accelerate the phase-out and technological obsolescence of our current DVDR production machine that produces our current production lines, which would result in impairment in value. Also, as the market has turned to the Blu-ray DVD, we must purchase new equipment to produce Blu-ray DVDR discs, and thus our business and operating results could be adversely affected. Further, if strong competitors challenge us in Brazil and other key markets, we will need to quickly develop an adequate competitive response. If we fail to accurately anticipate market and technological trends, then our business and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.
We must also be able to manufacture the products at acceptable costs. This requires us to be able to accurately forecast customer demand so that we can procure the appropriate inputs at optimal costs. We must also try to reduce the levels of older product inventories to minimize inventory write-offs. If we have excess inventory, it may be necessary to reduce its prices and write down inventory, which could result in lower gross margins. Additionally, our customers may delay orders for existing 8x or 16x writable speed DVDR products in anticipation of Blu-Ray product introductions. As a result, we may decide to adjust prices of existing products during this process to try to increase customer demand for these products. Our future operating results would be materially and adversely affected if such pricing adjustments were to occur and we are unable to mitigate the resulting margin pressure by maintaining a favorable mix of products, or if we are unsuccessful in achieving input cost reductions, operating efficiencies and increasing sales volumes.
If we are unable to timely develop, manufacture, and introduce new products in sufficient quantity to meet customer demand at acceptable costs, or if we are unable to correctly anticipate customer demand for our new and existing products, then our business and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
If our products fail to compete successfully with other existing or newly developed products for the storage media industry, our business will suffer.
The success of our products depends upon end users choosing our DVDR technology for their storage media needs. However, alternative data storage media exist, such as high capacity hard drives, new CD-R/DVDR technologies, file servers accessible through computer networks and the Internet, and additional media is under development. If end users perceive any technology that competes with ours as more reliable, higher performing, less expensive or having other advantages over our technology, the demand for our DVDR products could decrease. Further, some of our competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships with suppliers or companies that produce complementary products such as cameras, computer equipment, software or biometric applications. Competition from other storage media is likely to increase. If our products do not compete successfully with existing or new competitive products, our business will suffer.
Our products may have manufacturing or design defects that we discover after shipment, which could negatively affect our revenues, increase our costs and harm our reputation.
Our products may contain undetected and unexpected defects, errors or failures. If these product defects are substantial, the results could be product recalls, an increased amount of product returns, loss of market acceptance and damage to our reputation, all of which could increase our costs and cause us to lose sales. We do not carry general commercial liability insurance covering our products. In addition, we are preparing to launch production of Blu-Ray format DVDRs in 2008. HD and Blu-Ray format DVDR production will require us to master new production techniques and modify existing or purchase new machinery and equipment. It is possible that we may fail to achieve mastery of these new techniques and production yields could suffer as a result. We have successfully finished installing the first set of new machinery that can produce Blu-Ray format DVDR in our Hong Kong factory in early June 2008. We are now proceeding with the testing phase by producing sample orders and grasping the new techniques gradually in order to build up high quality control and cost-effectiveness to develop effective operations before proceeding with mass production of Blu-Ray format DVDR discs.
The development of digital distribution alternatives, including the copying and distribution of music and video and other electronic data files, could decrease the demand for our products.
We are dependent on the continued viability and growth of the physical distribution of music, video and other electronic data through recordable media. Alternative distribution channels and methods, both authorized and unauthorized, for delivering music, video and other electronic data may erode our volume of sales and the pricing of our products. The growth of these alternatives is driven by advances in technology that allow for the transfer and downloading of music, video and other electronic data files from the Internet. The proliferation of this copying, use and distribution of such files is supported by the increasing availability and decreasing price of new technologies, such as personal video recorders, DVD burners, portable MP3 music and video players, widespread access to the Internet, and the increasing number of peer-to-peer digital distribution services that facilitate file transfers and downloading. We expect that file sharing and downloading, both legal and illegal, will continue to exert downward pressure on the demand for traditional DVDRs. As current technologies and delivery systems improve, the digital transfer and downloading of music, video and other electronic data files will likely become more widespread. As the speed and quality with which music, video and other electronic data files can be transferred and downloaded improves, file sharing and downloading may in the future exert significant downward pressure on the demand for DVDRs. In addition, our business faces pressure from emerging distribution alternatives such as video on demand (“VOD”) and personal digital video recorders. As substantially all of our revenues are derived from the sale of DVDRs, increased file sharing, downloading and piracy or the growth of other alternative distribution channels and methods could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our revenues, cash flows and operating results may fluctuate for a number of reasons.
Future operating results and cash flows will continue to be subject to quarterly fluctuations based on a wide variety of factors, including seasonality. Although our sales and other operating results can be influenced by a number of factors and historical results are not necessarily indicative of future results, our sequential quarterly operating results generally fluctuate downward in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year when compared with the immediately preceding quarter. For example, our first calendar quarter is modestly affected by the Chinese New Year.
A significant portion of our revenue will depend on the success of our new venture in Brazil.
A significant portion of our revenues will depend on the success of our new Brazilian venture. We have no prior manufacturing and distribution experience in Brazil, and will rely on the local knowledge of our Brazilian joint venture partner and the general knowledge of the South American marketplace of our regional director Sebastian Tseng. Our results could suffer should the relationship with either of these two parties deteriorate in the early months of the Brazilian venture.
We are at risk of losing our significant investment in Brazil if we are unable to obtain the intellectual property licenses required for our Discobras manufacturing facility.
The owners of the technologies and intellectual property necessary for the production of our products require that we obtain separate patent licenses for the use of intellectual property in our DVDR manufacturing facility in Brazil. We have completed the required procedures in applying for the patent licenses for use at the Discobras manufacturing facility and are now waiting for the patent owners to complete their own procedures, including the submission of the patent licenses to the Patent Office in Brazil for final approval. However, if there is a substantial delay in obtaining approval for our use of the patent licenses, then we may be unable to manufacture a sufficient amount of our products to fill our sales orders, and this could cause us to lose substantial revenues. Further, in the event we are unable to obtain the patent licenses, we may not be able to manufacture our products in Brazil, placing us at risk of losing our significant investment in the Brazilian venture.
Past activities of the Company and its affiliates may lead to future liability for the combined companies.
Prior to the closing of the share exchange transaction in August 2006, the Company engaged in businesses unrelated to that of our current business operations. Any liabilities relating to such prior businesses against which we are not completely indemnified may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Risks Relating To Doing Business in Hong Kong and Brazil
Adverse changes in economic and political policies of the People’s Republic of China government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of Hong Kong, which could adversely affect our business.
A substantial portion of our business operations is conducted in Hong Kong, a special administrative region in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects are subject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in Hong Kong and the PRC. The PRC’s economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including with respect to the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past 20 years, growth has been uneven across different regions and among various economic sectors of China. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic development and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall PRC economy, but may also have a negative effect on us.
You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in Hong Kong or China based on United States or other foreign laws against us, our management or the experts named in the prospectus.
We currently conduct a substantial portion of our operations in Hong Kong, and a substantial amount of our assets are located in Hong Kong. In addition, all of our senior executive officers reside within Hong Kong. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside Hong Kong upon our senior executive officers, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws. Moreover, neither the PRC nor Hong Kong have treaties with the United States or many other countries providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgment of courts.
Fluctuation in the value of the Hong Kong Dollar may have a material adverse effect on your investment.
The value of the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. Although the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the U.S. dollar has been effectively pegged, there can be no assurance that the Hong Kong dollar will remain pegged to the U.S. dollar, especially in light of the significant international pressure on the Chinese government to permit the free floatation of the RMB and the Hong Kong dollar, which could result in an appreciation of RMB or the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar. Our revenues and costs are mostly denominated in Hong Kong dollars, while a significant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in Hong Kong dollars. Any significant revaluation of the Hong Kong dollar may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, and any dividends payable on, our stock in U.S. dollars.
We face risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks.
Our business could be adversely affected by the effects of SARS, Avian flu or another epidemic or outbreak. Any prolonged recurrence of SARS or other adverse public health developments in China or in Hong Kong may have a material adverse effect on our business operations. For instance, health or other government regulations adopted in response may require temporary closure of our production facilities or of our offices in Hong Kong. Such closures would severely disrupt our business operations and adversely affect our results of operations. We have not adopted any written preventive measures or contingency plans to combat any future outbreak of SARS, Avian flu or any other epidemic.
Changes in Hong Kong or Brazil’s political or economic situation could harm our operational results.
In addition to our operations in Hong Kong, we also have our production facility and a sales base in Brazil. Economic reforms adopted by the Chinese or Brazilian governments have had positive effects on the economic development of these countries, but the governments could change these economic reforms or any of the legal systems at any time. This could either benefit or damage the Company’s operations and profitability. Some of the things that could have this effect are:
| · | Level of government involvement in the economy; |
| · | Control of foreign exchange; |
| · | Methods of allocating resources; |
| · | Balance of payments position; |
| · | International trade restrictions; and |
Any of the foregoing events or other unforeseen consequences of public health problems could damage the Company’s operations.
The Brazilian government has historically exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over the Brazilian economy. Brazilian political and economic conditions will have a direct impact on our business and the market price of our securities.
The Brazilian government frequently intervenes in the Brazilian economy and occasionally makes substantial changes in policy, as often occurs in other emerging economies. The Brazilian government’s actions to control inflation and carry out other policies have in the past involved wage and price controls, currency devaluations, capital controls and limits on imports, among other things. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by factors in Brazil including:
| · | Monetary policy and interest rate increases; |
| | |
| · | Fiscal policy and tax changes; |
| | |
| · | International trade policy including tariff and non-tariff trade barriers; |
| · | Foreign exchange controls; |
| · | Other political, social and economic developments in or affecting Brazil. |
In 2005 and 2006, government figures, legislators and political party officials, especially those of the President’s party, have been the subject of a variety of allegations of unethical or illegal conduct. These accusations, which are being investigated by the Brazilian Congress, involve campaign financing and election law violations, and influencing of government officials and Congressmen in exchange for political support. Several members of the President’s party and of the federal government, including the President’s chief of staff, have resigned. We cannot predict what effect these accusations and investigations may have on the Brazilian economy.
Inflation and government measures to curb inflation may contribute significantly to economic uncertainty in Brazil and to heightened volatility in the Brazilian securities markets and, consequently, may adversely affect our business in Brazil.
Brazil has in the past experienced extremely high rates of inflation, with annual rates of inflation reaching as high as 2,567% in 1993 (as measured by the Índice Geral de Preços do Mercado published by Fundação Getúlio Vargas, or IGP-M Index). More recently, Brazil’s rates of inflation were 10.4% in 2001, 25.3% in 2002, 8.7% in 2003, 12.4% in 2004, 1.2% in 2005, 3.8% in 2006, and 3.5% in 2007 (as measured by the IGP-M Index). Inflation, governmental measures to combat inflation and public speculation about possible future actions have in the past had significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy and have contributed to economic uncertainty in Brazil. If Brazil experiences substantial inflation in the future, our costs may increase and our operating and net margins may decrease. Inflationary pressures may also lead to further government intervention in the economy, which could involve the introduction of government policies that may adversely affect the overall performance of the Brazilian economy.
Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively.
Since we have established our business operations in Brazil, some of our revenues will be settled in the Brazilian Real. Any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenue generated in Reals to fund any future business activities outside Brazil or to make dividend or other payments in U.S. dollars.
The value of our securities will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar, the Hong Kong dollar and the Real.
The value of our common stock will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. and Hong Kong dollars and Real, and between those currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. or Hong Kong dollars into Real for our operational needs and should the Real appreciate against the U.S. dollar at that time, our financial position, our business, and the price of our common stock may be harmed. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Reals into U.S. or Hong Kong dollars for the purpose of declaring dividends on our common stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. Dollar appreciates against the Real, the U.S. or Hong Kong dollar equivalent of our earnings from our subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Brazil would be reduced. We will engage in hedging activities to manage our financial exposure related to currency exchange fluctuation. In these hedging activities, we might use fixed-price, forward, futures, financial swaps and option contracts traded in the over-the-counter markets or on exchanges, as well as long-term structured transactions when feasible.
We will depend on Brazil’s foreign investment incentive programs, which provide reductions in taxation or exemptions from taxation for our operations in Brazil. The loss of the tax benefits from these incentive programs may substantially affect our earnings.
Under the State of Bahia’s investment incentive program, our Brazilian subsidiary, Discobras, has been granted a reduction in the Value Added Tax (“VAT”) it is required to pay for products. Discobras pays only 2.28%, as compared to VAT of 12% in Salvador, or 18% in São Paulo. This VAT reduction will be available to us until June 2016. We will also avail ourselves of an incentive program for foreign investment which exempts Discobras from paying Brazil’s ICMS taxes on raw materials it imports for production in Brazil and create substantial tax savings for Infosmart BVI. This tax exemption will last through June 2016. In the event that the VAT reduction program is no longer available to us or we are unable to extend the ICMS tax-exemption, our after-tax earnings would decline by the amount of the tax benefits, which may be substantial.
Risks Relating to this Offering and Ownership of Our Securities
Your rights with respect to ownership of the Company's Class A Warrants are set forth in the form of warrant and such document should be reviewed carefully with your legal counsel.
Your rights with respect to ownership of the Class A Warrants are set forth in the form of warrant that was attached as Exhibit 10.3 to our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with SEC on May 6, 2008. This document contains important provisions that provide you with rights, limitations and obligations and should be reviewed carefully with your legal counsel. We will also provide copies of these documents upon request.
We are a public company subject to evolving corporate governance and public disclosure regulations that may result in additional expenses and continuing uncertainty regarding the application of such regulations.
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules and regulations, are creating uncertainty for public companies. We are presently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to new and proposed rules and cannot predict or estimate the amount of the additional compliance costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. These new or changed laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by courts and regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. Maintaining appropriate standards of corporate governance and public disclosure may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. In addition, if we fail to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us, and our business and our reputation may be harmed.
Our common stock may have limited liquidity.
A substantial portion of our shares of common stock are closely held by certain institutional and insider investors. Consequently, the public float for our shares may be highly limited. As a result, you may encounter difficulty selling large blocks of shares of our common stock or obtaining a suitable price at which to sell such shares.
Our common share stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our shareholders.
The stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations, and the market prices of companies quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, the stock market on which shares of our common stock are quoted, generally have been very volatile and have experienced sharp share price and trading volume changes. The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many of the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:
| · | variations in our operating results; |
| · | announcements of technological innovations, new services or product lines by us or our competitors; |
| | |
| · | changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors; |
| · | changes in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our industry; |
| · | additions or departures of key personnel; and |
| · | future sales of our common stock. |
Domestic and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions unrelated to our performance, may adversely affect the price of our common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a public company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been initiated.
If, and when, the Class A Warrants are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, an active, liquid trading market may not develop. Even if an active public market for such warrants develops, we expect to experience volatility in the price of such warrants, which may result in losses to you.
There is currently no public market for the Class A Warrants. We intend, however, to apply for the Class A Warrants to be quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. An active trading market for our common stock may not develop, though, due to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in such warrants is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales. We cannot give you any assurance that an active public trading market for these warrants will develop or be sustained. You may not be able to liquidate your Class A Warrants quickly or at the market price if trading in our common stock is not active.
Even if an active public market for the Class A Warrants develops, we expect the market price of such warrants to fluctuate substantially for the indefinite future due to a number of factors, including:
| · | variations in our operating results; |
| · | announcements of technological innovations, new services or product lines by us or our competitors; |
| | |
| · | changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors; |
| · | changes in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our industry; |
| · | additions or departures of key personnel; and |
| · | future sales of our common stock. |
We have broad discretion as to the use of funds from our recent Commercial Secured Loan Transaction and may not use the funds effectively.
Our management team will retain broad discretion as to the allocation and timing of the use of funds from our recent Commercial Secured Loan Transaction and may spend these proceeds in ways with which our shareholders may not agree. The failure of our management to apply these funds effectively could result in unfavorable returns and uncertainty about our prospects, each of which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Our officers and directors own a substantial portion of our outstanding common stock, which will enable them to influence many significant corporate actions and in certain circumstances may prevent a change in control that would otherwise be beneficial to our shareholders.
As of June 11, 2008, our directors and executive officers, specifically Chung Kwok, Po Nei Sze, and Andrew Chang, control approximately 59.9% of our outstanding shares of stock that are entitled to vote on all corporate actions. These stockholders, acting together, could have a substantial impact on matters requiring the vote of the shareholders, including the election of our directors and most of our corporate actions. This control could delay, defer or prevent others from initiating a potential merger, takeover or other change in our control, even if these actions would benefit our shareholders and us. This control could adversely affect the voting and other rights of our other shareholders and could depress the market price of our common stock.
A large number of common shares are issuable upon exercise of outstanding common share warrants and upon conversion of our Series B Preferred Stock. The exercise or conversion of these securities could result in the substantial dilution of your investment in terms of your percentage ownership in the Company as well as the book value of your common shares. The sale of a large amount of common shares received upon exercise of these warrants on the public market to finance the exercise price or to pay associated income taxes, or the perception that such sales could occur, could substantially depress the prevailing market prices for our shares.
As of March 31, 2008, there are outstanding warrants entitling the holders to purchase up to 28,510,347 common shares at an exercise price of $0.326 per share. In the event of the exercise of these securities, you could suffer substantial dilution of your investment in terms of your percentage ownership in the Company as well as the book value of your common shares. In addition, the holders of the common share purchase warrants may sell common shares in tandem with their exercise of those options or warrants to finance that exercise, or may resell the shares purchased in order to cover any income tax liabilities that may arise from their exercise of the warrants.
As a public company, we are subject to complex legal and accounting requirements that require us to incur substantial expense and will expose us to risk of non-compliance.
As a public company, we are subject to numerous legal and accounting requirements that do not apply to private companies. The cost of compliance with many of these requirements is substantial, not only in absolute terms but, more importantly, in relation to the overall scope of the operations of a small company. Our inexperience with these requirements may increase the cost of compliance and may also increase the risk that we will fail to comply. Failure to comply with these requirements can have numerous adverse consequences including, but not limited to, our inability to file required periodic reports on a timely basis, loss of market confidence, delisting of our securities, and governmental or private actions against us. We cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with all of these requirements or that the cost of such compliance will not prove to be a substantial competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis our privately held competitors as well as our larger public competitors.
If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, our ability to provide accurate financial statements and comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could be impaired, which could cause our stock price to decrease substantially.
We take measures to address and improve our financial reporting and compliance capabilities, and we plan to obtain additional financial and accounting resources to support and enhance our ability to meet the requirements of being a public company. We will need to continue to improve our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and procedures, and documentation thereof. If our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems or procedures fail, we may not be able to provide accurate financial statements on a timely basis or comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as it applies to us. Any failure of our internal controls or our ability to provide accurate financial statements could cause the trading price of our common stock to decrease substantially.
Other than the dividend payments that are due for our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends.
Other than the dividend payments that are due for our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, we presently do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends on any of our capital stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends, if any, would be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of any dividends will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors. We presently intend to retain all earnings, if any, to implement our business plan; accordingly, we do not anticipate the declaration of any dividends in the foreseeable future.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
All statements contained in this prospectus, other than statements of historical facts, that address future activities, events or developments, are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements containing the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect” and words of similar import. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our assessment of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. Whether actual results will conform to the expectations and predictions of management, however, is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. Such risks are in the section entitled “Risk Factors” on page 19, and in our previous SEC filings.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this prospectus are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results anticipated by management will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on our business operations.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the securities by the selling securityholders. All proceeds from the sale of the securities offered by the selling securityholders under this prospectus will be for the account of the selling securityholders, as described below in the sections entitled “Selling Securityholders” and “Plan of Distribution.” With the exception of any brokerage fees and commissions which are the respective obligations of the selling securityholders, we are responsible for the fees, costs and expenses of this offering which includes our legal and accounting fees, printing costs and filing and other miscellaneous fees and expenses.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering our Class A Warrants issued to certain investors in our April 30, 2008 commercial secured lending transaction and Class A Warrants issued to certain investors in a private warrant offering that closed on June 12, 2008 to permit the resale of these securities by the selling securityholders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We are also registering all of the shares of common stock underlying these two issuances of Class A Warrants and shares of common stock issuable as interest on the Secured Debentures issued to certain investors in our April 30, 2008 commercial secured lending transaction. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling securityholders of the securities held by them. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register these securities.
The selling securityholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or quoted or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling securityholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
| · | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| | |
| · | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares or warrants as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| | |
| · | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| | |
| · | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| | |
| · | privately negotiated transactions; |
| | |
| · | to cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC; |
| | |
| · | broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares or warrants at a stipulated price per share; |
| · | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
| | |
| · | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling securityholders may also sell their shares or Class A Warrants under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling securityholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling securityholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares or warrants, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling securityholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling securityholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares or warrants owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock or Class A Warrants from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling securityholders under this prospectus.
When we are notified in writing by a selling securityholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling securityholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares or warrants involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of common stock or Class A Warrants were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, when we are notified in writing by a selling securityholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
The selling securityholders also may transfer the shares of common stock or Class A Warrants in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The selling securityholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares or warrants may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares or warrants purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of securities will be paid by the selling securityholder and/or the purchasers. Each selling securityholder has represented and warranted to us that it acquired the securities subject to this prospectus and the registration statement of which it forms a part, in the ordinary course of such selling securityholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such selling securityholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.
We have advised each selling securityholder that it may not use shares or warrants covered under this prospectus and the registration statement of which it forms a part, to cover short sales of common stock made prior to the date on which the registration statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC. If a selling securityholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling securityholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such selling securityholder in connection with resales of their respective shares or warrants under the related registration statement.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares and warrants, but we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock or Class A Warrants. We have agreed to indemnify the selling securityholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
We are registering this offering under the terms of securities purchase agreements between us and the holders of certain of our securities. Such securities were issued by us in transactions that were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to persons reasonably believed by us to be “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. We are registering these securities in order to permit the selling securityholders who purchased them from us to dispose of the shares of common stock or Class A Warrants, or interests therein, from time to time. The selling securityholders may sell all, some, or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”
The table below lists the selling securityholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock and Class A Warrants by each of the selling securityholders. Column B lists the number of shares of common stock and Class A Warrants beneficially owned by each selling securityholder as of June 12, 2008. Column C lists the shares of common stock and Class A Warrants covered by this prospectus that may be disposed of by each of the selling securityholders. Column D lists the number of shares and Class A Warrants that will be beneficially owned by the selling securityholders assuming all of the shares and warrants covered by this prospectus are sold.
The selling securityholders may decide to sell all, some, or none of the securities listed below. We cannot provide you with any estimate of the number of securities that any of the selling securityholders will hold in the future. For purposes of this table, beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and includes voting power and investment power with respect to such securities.
The inclusion of any securities in the following table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership by the persons named below. Except as indicated in the footnotes to the table, no selling securityholder has had any material relationship with us or our affiliates during the last three years. Except as indicated below, no selling securityholder is the beneficial owner of any additional shares of common stock or other equity securities issued by us or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our equity securities. Except as indicated below, no selling securityholder is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 should be read in conjunction with the Selected Consolidated Financial Data, the consolidated financial statements, and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere herein. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections included elsewhere herein. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
The Company owns all of the capital stock of Infosmart BVI, a holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Infosmart BVI beneficially owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of: (i) Info Smart Technology Limited (“IS Technology”), a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong; (ii) Info Smart International Enterprises Limited (“IS International”), a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong; and (iii) Portabello Global Limited (“Portabello”), a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. IS Technology owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Infoscience Media Limited (“IS Media”), a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong. IS Media owns 99.42% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Discobras Industria E Comercio de Eletro Eletronica Ltda., a company incorporated under the laws of Brazil (“Discobras”), the remaining 0.58% ownership interest in Discobras is held by our local Brazilian partner. During the year 2006, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Infoscience Holdings Limited (“IS Holdings”), a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong, through IS Media. IS Media has a Cooperation Agreement with IS Holdings wherein it manufactures its DVDRs using certain patent licenses and manufacturing licenses owned by IS Holdings. IS Media acquired IS Holdings to guarantee the continuation of this agreement and obtained the right to use the relevant patent licenses and manufacturing licenses.
In March 2006, IS Media formed Discobras, a Brazilian company, with a local partner, with registered capital of US$8 million for our new Brazilian DVDR production facility. We relocated some of our DVDR manufacturing equipment to Brazil in November 2006 and installed them in January 2007. Trial production in Brazil began in March 2007, and is currently producing at full capacity. In addition, the owners of the technologies and intellectual property necessary for the production of our products require that we obtain separate Patent Licenses for the use of intellectual property in our new DVDR manufacturing facility in Brazil. We are currently in the process of obtaining these Patent Licenses.
On April 30, 2008, we closed a $5,000,000 commercial secured lending transaction (the “Loan”) with two institutional investors (the “Lenders”). We entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Lenders loaned to us an aggregate of $4,000,000 at a 20% original issue discount from the aggregate $5,000,000 principal amount. The proceeds of this financing are marked for our development of Blu-Ray Disc (DB) sales and marketing efforts in local and international markets.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
Minority Interests
For the development of the market in Brazil, the Company entered into an agreement on March 20, 2006 with two independent third parties to set up a subsidiary, Discobrás, in Brazil. Discobrás has a social capital of $8,046,281 (equivalent to R$17,385,600), of which 99.42% or $8,000,000 (equivalent to R$17,285,600) (“Investment Cost”) has been subscribed by the Company. As of March 31, 2008, neither one of the two independent third parties had fully satisfied their required capital contribution by any means. The minority interests have been recognized in the accompanying financial statements.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, deferred income taxes and the estimation on useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are license usage rights and stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the license obtained by one of the Company’s subsidiaries, Infoscience Holdings Limited (“IHL”).
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from sales of the Company’s products is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the time of delivery and the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Stock-Based Payment
The Company adopted the SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R") using the modified prospective method. Under SFAS 123R, equity instruments issued to service providers for their services are measured at the grant-date fair value and recognized in the statement of operations over the vesting period.
Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
The Company reports basic earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The weighted average number of shares of the Company represents the common stock outstanding during the periods presented.
Diluted earning per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
The Company's common stock equivalents at March 31, 2008 include the following:
Convertible redeemable preferred stock Series B | | | 16,011,804 | |
Detachable common stock warrants | | | 28,510,347 | |
Placement agent warrants | | | 2,931,035 | |
| | | 47,453,186 | |
Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are stated at original amount less allowance made for doubtful receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the period end. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business and believes all trade receivables in excess of the allowances for doubtful receivables to be fully collectible. Full allowances for doubtful receivables are made when the receivables are overdue for one (1) year and an allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to original terms of receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, the management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. The Company’s reserve requirements generally increase/decrease due to management projected demand requirements, market conditions and product life cycle changes. During the reporting periods, the Company did not make any allowance for slow-moving or defective inventories.
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use. Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including replacement of minor items, are charged to expense; major additions to physical properties are capitalized.
Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The principal annual rates are as follows:
Production lines and equipment | 10% with 30% residual value |
Leasehold improvements and others | 20% |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment of long-lived assets in the event that the net book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for any of the periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined in FIN 48 as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 must be applied to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption. The cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 at adoption, if any, is to be reported as an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the year of adoption. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which relates to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet completed its analysis of the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. SFAS No. 159 does not establish requirements for recognizing and measuring dividend income, interest income, or interest expense. SFAS No. 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements, included in SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, and SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet completed its assessment of the impact upon adoption of SFAS No. 159 on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. This statement retains the fundamental requirements of the original pronouncement requiring that the acquisition method of accounting, or purchase method, be used for all business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination, establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control and requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest at their fair values as of the acquisition date. In addition, SFAS No. 141(R) requires, among other things, expensing of acquisition related and restructuring related costs, measurement of pre-acquisition contingencies at fair value, measurement of equity securities issued for purchase at the date of close of the transaction and capitalization of in process research and development, all of which represent modifications to current accounting for business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Adoption is prospective and early adoption is not permitted. Adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will not impact the Company’s accounting for business combinations closed prior to its adoption, but given the nature of the changes noted above, the Company expects that its accounting for business combinations occurring subsequent to adoption will be significantly different than that applied following current accounting literature.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that SFAS 160 will have on its financial statements upon adoption.

Net Sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, net sales decreased relative to the three months ended March 31, 2007, from $7,698,415 to $7,560,447. The decrease in net sales mainly due to the greater cost fluctuation of outsourced Flash drives and memory cards for the past three months. We plan to explore other sources of these of Flash drives and memory cards to alleviate the costs during the coming few months. Also, net sales in China, which is our main customer segment base, dropped during the first quarter of 2008 due to decreased demand as a result of Chinese New Year and a blizzard in China that interrupted our distribution networks during the first quarter of 2008. Another factor in the decrease in net sales of DVDRs in Hong Kong is our policy of geographical diversification and our shift of focus from the lower margin Hong Kong markets to higher margin markets, such as Asia and Brazil. Market trends show a high expectation for the new Blu-ray discs and a lower demand for DVDR discs.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased from $5,733,147, or approximately 74.47% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2007, to $6,498,617, or approximately 85.95% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The approximately 13% increase is mainly due to higher transportation costs incurred as a result of the operation of our Brazilian factory during the first quarter of 2008.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased approximately 46% from $1,965,268 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $1,061,830 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the decrease in our volume of sales and the increase in our cost of sales.
Administrative Expenses. Administrative expenses included depreciation and amortization charges, and was $780,224 and $931,050 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This substantial decrease in administrative expenses was due to effective cost control measures that we put in place during the first quarter of 2008.
Selling and Distributing Costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, selling and distribution costs decreased approximately 8.36% from $79,516 to $72,867 relative to the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease is attributable to lower freight expenses for the first quarter of 2008 since our distribution network in China was interrupted by a blizzard during the first quarter of 2008.
Net Income. Net income decreased approximately 7.98% from $905,284 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $832,983 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Net income margin was 11.01% and 11.76% in the same comparable periods in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Net Sales. For the year ended December 31, 2007, net sales increased approximately 287% from $27,102,441 to $104,969,899 relative to the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the effect of new market sales generated in Brazil and a substantial increase in sales in Australia, Asia and North America. Also the trading of Compact Flash and SD-RAM penetrated through our distribution channel in Asia.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased from $19,570,525, or approximately 72.2% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2006, to $90,186,253, or approximately 85.9% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2007. The approximately 360% increase was primarily attributable to the increase in our volume of sales. The increase in the cost of sales was in line with the increase in our net sales.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased approximately 96% from $7,531,916 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $14,783,646 for the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase in gross profit was primarily due to the increase in our volume of sales as well as the substantial increase in sales in the higher margin markets, like Brazil and Asia. Also the rapid development of Compact Flash and SD-RAM market in Asia contributed to this increase in gross profit. In addition, the increase of our gross profit percentage from approximately 27.8% for the year ended December 31, 2006 to approximately 14.1% for the year ended December 31, 2007 was due to the increase in sales in higher margin markets, which was offset by a slight decrease of our sales prices in other markets in 2007.
Administrative Expenses. Administrative expenses increased approximately 121% from $1,997,379 for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $4,416,087 for the year ended December 31, 2007. This substantial increase in administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2007 was mainly because the charges of top management’s remunerations as well as the employment of new administrative personnel, and also the operation of administrative function in Brazil factory.
Selling and Distributing Costs. For the year ended December 31, 2007, selling and distribution costs slightly increased approximately 5% from $475,781 to $499,716 relative to the year ended December 31, 2006. This slightly increase in selling and distribution costs was not in line with the steep increase in our net sales mainly due to the change to a more competitive freight forwarder which led to a reduction of our freight expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Professional Expenses Related To Restructuring and Share Exchange. Such professional expenses increased substantially from $320,892 for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $2,753,390 for the year ended December 31, 2006 but none of these expenses incurred in 2007. The increase was mainly due to the completion of the restructuring and share exchange transaction in August 2006. These one-off payments were made to different professional parties who provided services in connection with the restructuring and share exchange transaction during the period. The professional expenses comprised the following items:
Financial Advisory Fees | | $ | 1,431,993 | |
Reverse Merger Fees | | | 450,000 | |
Other Professional Parties’ Fees | | | 747,000 | |
Others | | | 124,397 | |

Net Sales. For the year ended December 31, 2006, net sales increased approximately 10.3% from $24,577,206 to $27,102,441 relative to the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the effect of new market sales generated in Brazil and a substantial increase in sales in Australia, Asia and North America, but this was partly offset by a substantial decrease in our net sales in Europe. The decrease of net sales in Europe was driven by our policy of geographical diversification and a shift in our Company’s focus from the lower margin market in Europe to other higher margin markets, like Brazil.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased from $17,911,674, or approximately 72.9% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2005, to $19,570,525, or approximately 72.2% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2006. The approximately 9.3% increase was primarily attributable to the increase in our volume of sales. The increase in the cost of sales was in line with the increase in our net sales.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased approximately 13.0% from $6,665,532 for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $7,531,916 for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase in gross profit was primarily due to the increase in our volume of sales as well as the substantial increase in sales in the higher margin markets, like Brazil. In addition, the slight increase of our gross profit percentage from approximately 27.1% for the year ended December 31, 2005 to approximately 27.8% for the year ended December 31, 2006 was due to the increase in sales in higher margin markets, which was offset by a slight decrease of our sales prices in other markets in 2006.
Administrative Expenses. Administrative expenses increased approximately 144.6% from $816,553 for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $1,997,379 for the year ended December 31, 2006. This substantial increase in administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2006 was mainly because we wrote off leasehold improvements and other fixed assets of approximately $382,000 for the consolidation of our Hong Kong production facilities by shifting capacity from the Chai Wan facility to our Tsuen Wan facility, we had an increase of approximately $455,000 in expenses mainly related to the charges of top management’s remunerations as well as the employment of new administrative personnel, and also due to an increase of approximately $290,000 mainly for various legal and professional fees that were incurred for the provision of supporting services after the share exchange transaction and financing activities.
Selling and Distributing Costs. For the year ended December 31, 2006, selling and distribution costs decreased approximately 25.8% from $641,096 to $475,781 relative to the year ended December 31, 2005. This decrease in selling and distribution costs was mainly due to the change to a more competitive freight forwarder which led to a reduction of our freight expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006. In addition, fewer overseas exhibitions were held as we focused on more effective local exhibitions, and which, in turn, lowered the exhibition expenses we incurred for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Professional Expenses Related To Restructuring and Share Exchange. Such professional expenses increased substantially from $320,892 for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $2,753,390 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was mainly due to the completion of the restructuring and share exchange transaction in August 2006. These one-off payments were made to different professional parties who provided services in connection with the restructuring and share exchange transaction during the period. The professional expenses comprised the following items:
Financial Advisory Fees | | $ | 1,431,993 | |
Reverse Merger Fees | | | 450,000 | |
Other Professional Parties’ Fees | | | 747,000 | |
Others | | | 124,397 | |
Total | | $ | 2,753,390 | |
Net Income. Net income decreased approximately 74.7% from $4,214,761 for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $1,064,544 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Further, the net income margin was 3.9% and 17.1% in the same comparable periods in 2006 and 2005, respectively. This decrease in net income was due primarily to the professional expenses related to our restructuring and the share exchange transaction of approximately $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 as well as the reallocation of certain manufacturing equipment from Hong Kong to Brazil in November 2006 which reduced approximately 35% of our production capacity during the last two months of the year. Excluding the effect of the professional expenses related to the restructuring and share exchange transaction, the decrease of adjusted net income from $4,535,653 for the year ended December 31, 2005 to $3,817,934 for the year ended December 31, 2006 would represent a decrease of only approximately 15.8%. This decrease was mainly due to the reversal of commission payable of $718,250 that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2005. Our Company and our customers agreed to cancel potential sales rebates worth $718,250, which had been accrued but not paid in prior years. Excluding the reversal of the commission payable of $718,250 in 2005, the final adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2005 would have been $3,817,403. In this regard, the adjusted net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was slightly higher than last year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Stanley Rosner v. World Wide Magic Net, Inc. (n/k/a Cyber) and Burlington Coat Factory, New York State Supreme Court, Nassau County, Index No. 98-006524. This is a breach of contract, fraud and tortuous interference action seeking $5,000,000 in compensatory damages, unspecified punitive damages and declaratory relief.

Since that date, Mr. Rosner has neither transferred the case nor pursued it further.
In Re: Factory 2-U Stores, Inc., U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware - Adv. Proc. No. 005-30480. On March 7, 2006, a complaint was filed against the Company in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware in the matter captioned In Re: Factory 2-U Stores, Inc. The complaint sought to recover from the Company $91,572 in alleged preferential transfers made to the Company by the debtor during the ninety-day period prior to the filing of the debtor's bankruptcy petition. The Company defended against the preference claim by asserting that such transfers were made in the ordinary course of business. On May 22, 2007, all parties entered into a settlement agreement, subject to the bankruptcy court’s approval. The bankruptcy court approved the settlement and dismissed the complaint with prejudice on June 21, 2007.

Audit Committee of the Board; Audit Committee Financial Expert
We are not a “listed company” under SEC rules and are therefore not required to have an audit committee comprised of independent directors. We established an Audit Committee, however, in November 2007. Our Audit Committee was established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Audit Committee assists Board oversight of (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, and (iv) the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditor, and prepares the report that the SEC requires to be included in our annual proxy statement. The current members of the Audit Committee are Simon Lee (Chairman), Joseph Chang, and Chi-Man Lam. The Board has determined that Mr. Lee is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-B, and is “independent” within the meaning of AMEX Company Guide Section 121A.
Director Independence
Four of our directors - Simon Lee, Wai Chuen Leung, Joseph Chang, Chi-Man Lam -- are independent directors as that term is defined under AMEX Rules and Regulations.
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written representations that no reports were required, we believe that for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, beneficial owners complied with Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the members of our Compensation Committee were Simon Lee, Joseph Chang, and Chi-Man Lam (Chairman).

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all directors, officers, and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and members of the board of directors. We will provide to any person, without charge and upon request, a copy of the code of ethics. Any such request must be made in writing to the Company, c/o Investor Relations, 5th Floor, QPL Industrial Building, 126-140 Texaco Road, Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong.

In July 2006, Infosmart BVI entered into an employment agreement with Andrew Chang that provided a starting monthly salary of HK$50,000 or approximately US$6,435.

Each of the above-described employments agreements state the officer and/or directors employment may be terminated immediately, without Infosmart BVI’s prior notice or payment in lieu of notice if at any time the officer and or director (1) becomes physically or mentally disabled whether totally or partially so that he is substantially unable to perform his duties for a period of or for 30 days in the aggregate in any period of six consecutive months, (2) is convicted of a criminal offense, except one which in the reasonable of Infosmart BVI’s Board does not affect his position with Infosmart BVI at the time of such conviction, (3) commits repeated or continued (after warning) any persistent or material breach of the employment agreement; (4) is guilty of willful neglect in discharging his duties or commits any grave misconduct which in the absolute opinion of the Infosmart BVI Board tends to bring himself or Infosmart BVI into disrepute; or (5) commits an act of bankruptcy or compounded with his creditors generally or is guilty of conduct which would make his continued appointment prejudicial to the interests of Infosmart BVI. Further, the agreements provide for employee insurance, mandatory provident fund benefits, and, after completion of the three-month probation period, medical insurance. These agreements also contain restrictive covenants preventing competition with Infosmart BVI during their employment and for a period of 12 months after termination, and also covenants preventing the use of confidential business information, except in connection with the performance of their duties for Infosmart BVI, during or at any time after termination of their employment.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Described below are certain transactions or series of transactions during our 2006 and 2007 fiscal years between us and our executive officers, directors, and the beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock, and certain persons affiliated with or related to these persons, including family members, in which they had or will have a direct or indirect material interest in an amount that exceeds $120,000, other than compensation arrangements that are otherwise required to be described under "Executive Compensation."
Prior to the Share Exchange Transaction
The Company had a revolving $500,000 line of credit with Frank Yuan, former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and his spouse, Vicky Yuan. The line of credit bore interest at 8% per annum and was to expire on February 2006. The line of credit was terminated, and the Company’s obligations thereunder were assumed by ASAP Show, Inc.
Pursuant to a Stock Option Assumption Agreement entered into between the Company and Frank Yuan as of May 31, 2005 (“Option Assumption Agreement”), Mr. Yuan agreed to assume all obligations of the Company with respect to options to purchase 36,025 shares of the Company’s common stock held by certain employees and consultants. In connection with the Option Assumption Agreement, Mr. Yuan delivered a certificate representing 36,025 shares of the Company’s common stock, which shares may be cancelled to the extent Yuan fails to deliver shares to such holders upon exercise.
Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) by and among KI Equity, the Company, and Frank Yuan dated August 25, 2005, Mr. Yuan agreed to indemnify KI Equity and the Company for certain claims and liabilities arising prior to the closing of the Amended SPA for a limited time.
On May 31, 2005, the Company entered into a Transfer and Assumption Agreement (“Assumption Agreement”) with Frank Yuan and ASAP Show, Inc. (“ASAP”), a then wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, under which the Company transferred all of its Assets (as defined therein) to ASAP and ASAP assumed all of the Company’s liabilities (“Assumed Liabilities”). Under Section 5 of the Assumption Agreement, ASAP and Mr. Yuan agreed to indemnify the Company for any claims and liabilities relating to the Assumed Liabilities. Further, pursuant to Section 3 of the Assumption Agreement, an indemnity reserve for $50,000 (“Indemnity Escrow”) was established to satisfy any claims that may arise for indemnity under the Amended SPA or the Assumption Agreement. The Company retained the Indemnity Escrow beyond the six month period after the closing of the Amended SPA pending the resolution of the Preference Action discussed below, which was resolved on June 21, 2007.
On March 7, 2006, a complaint was filed against the Company in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware in the matter captioned In Re: Factory 2-U Stores, Inc. (“Preference Action”). The complaint sought to recover from the Company $91,572 in alleged preferential transfers made to the Company by the debtor during the ninety-day period prior to the filing of the debtor’s bankruptcy petition. The Company defended against the preference claim by asserting that such transfers were made in the ordinary course of business. On May 22, 2007, all parties entered into a settlement agreement, subject to the bankruptcy court’s approval. The bankruptcy court approved the settlement and dismissed the complaint with prejudice on June 21, 2007.

The Share Exchange Transaction
On July 7, 2006, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with KI Equity Partners LLC, Prime Fortune Enterprises Ltd. (“Prime”), the equity owners of Prime, namely, Chung Kwok, Po Nei Sze, and Prime Corporate Developments Limited (the “Prime Shareholders”), and Hamptons Investment Group Ltd. (“Hamptons”) (collectively the “Infosmart BVI Shareholders”) to acquire all of the equity ownership of Infosmart Group Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“Infosmart BVI”) through the acquisition of Prime, the former 100% direct equity owner and holding company of Infosmart BVI. Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, immediately prior to the closing of the share exchange transaction, Hamptons was to receive 58.82352 shares of Prime’s capital stock as payment for its services as a finder in connection with the exchange transaction.
On August 11, 2006, Prime’s and Infosmart BVI’s boards of directors and their respective shareholders agreed to restructure the ownership of Infosmart BVI’s issued capital stock, resulting in the transfer of the entire equity ownership of Infosmart BVI directly to Chung Kwok and the Prime Shareholders. On August 14, 2006, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Exchange Agreement with KI Equity, Prime, the equity owners of Prime, Infosmart BVI, the equity owners of Infosmart BVI (which also consisted of Chung Kwok, Lui Sau Wan, and Prime Corporate Developments Limited), and Hamptons, whereby Infosmart BVI and the Infosmart BVI Shareholders replaced Prime and the Prime Shareholders as parties to the Exchange Agreement and assumed all of Prime’s and the Prime Shareholders’ obligations, representations, warranties, liabilities, and responsibilities under the Exchange Agreement, including Prime’s obligation to issue the shares of stock to compensate Hamptons for its services immediately prior to the closing of the share exchange transaction. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Infosmart BVI’s capital stock from the equity owners of Infosmart BVI and Hamptons, and the Infosmart BVI Shareholders transferred and contributed all of their Infosmart BVI shares to the Company. In exchange, the Company issued to the Infosmart BVI Shareholders 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, which were convertible into 116,721,360 shares of the Company’s common stock and have since been converted in full. The share exchange transaction closed on August 16, 2006.
Chung Kwok is currently a director of the Company, and the dollar value of Mr. Kwok’s interest in the share exchange transaction was approximately $206,831 at the time of closing. Po Nei Sze is currently an executive officer of the Company, and the dollar value of Ms. Sze’s interest in the share exchange transaction was approximately $731,905 at the time of closing. Lui Sau Wan is a 5% shareholder of the Company, and the dollar value of Ms. Lui’s interest in the share exchange transaction was approximately $243,584 at the time of closing.
Other Related Transactions
During the period December 31, 2005 to the closing of Share Exchange on August 16, 2006, Prime Corporate Developments Limited, a related entity solely owned by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Director Ms. Po Nei Sze, loaned approximately $384,615 to Infosmart BVI in connection with the construction of the Discobras manufacturing facility in Brazil. As of December 31, 2007, $316,097 of the original principal amount remains outstanding. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, Infosmart BVI paid $NIL in principal of the original principal amount to Prime Corporate Developments Limited, and there is no interest on the loan.
Other than the above transactions or otherwise set forth in any reports filed by the Company with the SEC, the Company and its subsidiaries have not entered into any material transactions with any director, executive officer, and nominee for director, beneficial owner of five percent or more of its common stock, or family members of such persons.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following information describes our capital stock and provisions of our articles of incorporation and our bylaws. This description is only a summary. You should also refer to our articles of incorporation, bylaws, and articles of amendment that have been incorporated by reference or filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement on Form S-1 of which this prospectus forms a part.
General
We currently are authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value per share. Of the 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, 1,200,000 shares were designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and 1,800,000 shares were designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Certificates of Determination ("Certificates of Determination") that were approved by our Board and that were filed with and accepted by the Secretary of State of the State of California.
Common Stock
The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, except that upon giving the legally required notice, stockholders may cumulate their shares in the election of directors. We may pay dividends at such time and to the extent declared by our Board in accordance with California corporate law. Our common stock has no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. To the extent that additional shares of common stock may be issued in the future, the relative interests of the then existing stockholders may be diluted. As of June 11 2008, we have 148,132,777 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
Class A Warrants
In connection with the $5,000,000 Commercial Loan Transaction more fully described above under the “Business” section, we issued to the investors 19,083,970 Class A Warrants to purchase an aggregate 19,083,970 shares of our common stock. In connection with the private warrant offering described above that closed on June 12, 2008, we also issued Class A Warrants to Investors for the purchase of an aggregate 220,000 shares of our common stock. The Class A Warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.262 per share. As of June 12, 2008, we have 19,303,970 Class A Warrants issued and outstanding.
Class A Warrants contain a cashless exercise provision that such holders may utilize after six months from issuance of such warrant. Within 180 days of issuance of such warrant (“Quotation Deadline”), we must obtain a ticker symbol for the Class A Warrants and have the Class A Warrants quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (or similar exchange). If the Class A Warrants are not quoted on the OTCBB by the Quotation Deadline, then the we shall pay such holders the equivalent of 1.5% of the purchase price of such warrants per month, which amount shall not exceed a total amount of 18%.
Registration Rights
We have agreed to undertake to file this prospectus and related registration statement to register the Class A Warrants issued in our $5,000,000 commercial secured loan transaction that closed on April 30, 2008 and in our private warrant offering described above that closed on June 12, 2008, the common stock underlying such Class A Warrants, and the common stock issuable as interest on the Secured Debentures issued in our $5,000,000 commercial secured loan transaction that closed on April 30, 2008. In the event that the registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC within 120 days of the issuance of the Class A Warrants, then we will owe liquidated damages in cash to the investors in our $5,000,000 commercial secured loan transaction of 2% of the principal amount of their loan per month, not to exceed 10%.
Registration of these shares of common stock upon exercise of these registration rights would result in the holders being able to trade these shares without restriction under the Securities Act once the applicable registration statement is declared effective. We will pay all registration expenses related to any registration. Non-registration penalties do not apply when the holder can sell all of the holder’s shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim consolidated financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three-month periods have been made. Results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in the 2007 annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. | Descriptions of business |
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Infosmart Group Limited (“Infosmart”), is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and sales of recordable digital versatile disc (“DVDR”) and recordable compact discs (“CDR”), optical digital discs used for storing data and interactive sequences as well as audio and video files, under a cooperation agreement signed with a wholly owned subsidiary. With the cooperation agreement, the Company is able to manufacture DVDR and CDR under license agreement granted from the intellectual property owner and the manufacturing license issued by the Customs and Excise Department of Hong Kong.
The key raw materials for the production of the Company’s products are PC resin and silver granule. PC resin is mainly used in the molding of DVDR and CDR. Silver granule is mainly used in coating the DVDR and CDR.
The Company’s main suppliers are located in Hong Kong while the Company’s customers are located in both Hong Kong and overseas including Australia, Europe, North America and South America. The Company’s major customers include distributors and retail traders. The Company currently manufactures and ships the products from Hong Kong where the Company operates a state of the art DVDR and CDR manufacturing facilities.
For the development of the market in Brazil, the Company entered into an agreement on March 20, 2006 with two independent third parties for setting up a subsidiary, Discobrás Indústria E Comércio De Eletro Eletrônica Ltda (“Discobrás”), in Brazil for the new DVDR production facility. Recently, Discobras has completed construction of the DVDR production facility. The subsidiary had obtained all required government licenses and all other documents and approvals necessary to operate a DVDR production facility in Brazil. Discobras installed DVDR manufacturing equipment in February 2007 and began trial production in March 2007. Regular production was commenced gradually from April 2007.

2. | Descriptions of business (Cont’d) |
We currently operate two factories in both Hong Kong and Brazil, with a combined production capacity of approximately 15 million 8x, 16x writable speed, single layer DVDRs and CDRs per month. Currently, our product mix is approximately 60% of 8x DVDRs, approximately 40% of 16x DVDRs, and approximately 60% of CDRs. We have the flexibility to switch production easily between the two product types. After manufacturing the DVDRs and CDRs, we put our products through a rigorous quality assurance process. Our Quality Management System complies with ISO9001:2000 requirements, and we are ISO 9000 certified.
In December 2007, we stopped producing CDRs in Hong Kong and began producing DVDRs due to higher margins from DVDRs as compared to CDRs. However, in order to ensure “one-stop” shopping to our customers in our distribution channels, we outsource the production of our CDRs and devote more resources to the manufacture of DVDRs. According to Techno Systems Research Co., Ltd. (Japan), total global production volume of CD media in 2007 was 14,024,200,000 discs. We currently outsource CDRs with a standard capacity of 700MB for data and 80MIN for music.
We have also distributed flash drives and memory cards through the channels of distributions in both Asia and South American that we have established. Therefore, we have started procuring flash drives and memory cards from outside manufacturers for distribution within our current channels which has proven to be very successful.
As a result of the Blu-ray format DVD prevailing over the HD-DVD in the battle of dominating the future format of DVDR, we purchased the first set of Blu-ray DVD production replication systems in the China/Hong Kong region in order to meet the demands in the high definition media storage market. We plan to invest at least $10 million in the upcoming year for Blu-ray replication production lines in the upcoming year, with the first Blu-ray replication systems being purchased at about $1.4 million. This move is in line with our strategy of keeping ourselves as the leader and forerunner of recordable media manufacturers in the world. We foresee inputting additional resources in purchasing and installing more production lines in 2008 and in Brazil by 2009 as the market for Blu-ray DVD players and writers become more mature. We are going to install the new production lines of Blu-ray and train up our specialists in May. The mass production of Blu-ray is planned to launch in June, and we are now preparing for the customer order confirmation through our existing marketing and distribution channels.

Use of estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, deferred income taxes and the estimation on useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are license usage rights and stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the license obtained by one of the Company’s subsidiaries, Infoscience Holdings Limited (“IHL”).
Revenue recognition
Revenue from sales of the Company’s products is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the time of delivery and the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income tax using as asset and liability approach and allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Group is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.
Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are declared.
The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock carries dividends at 8% per annum payable quarter in cash in US Dollars.

Comprehensive income
The Company has adopted SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances.
Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the accumulated balance of foreign currency translation adjustments of the Company.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currencies of the Company are Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”) and Brazil dollars (Real$). The Company maintains its financial statements in the functional currencies. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.
For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company which are prepared using the functional currency have been translated into United States dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign currency translation adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity.
The exchange rates in effect at March 31, 2008 and 2007 were HK$1 for $0.1285 and $0.128 and Real$1 for $0.5733 and $0.4859, respectively. The average exchange rates for 2008 and 2007 were HK$1 for $0.1284 and $0.1286 and Real$1 for $0.5296 and $0.4731, respectively. There is no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion between HK dollars, Real dollars and US dollars after the balance sheet date.

Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, deposits, trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. The carrying amounts of borrowings approximate their fair values because the applicable interest rates approximate current market rates.
It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, price or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
The Company is exposed to certain foreign currency risk from export sales transactions and recognized trade receivables as they will affect the future operating results of the Company. The Company did not have any hedging activities during the reporting period. As the functional currencies of the Company are HK$ and Real$, the exchange difference on translation to US dollars for reporting purpose is taken to other comprehensive income.
Basic and diluted earnings per share
The Company reports basic earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The weighted average number of shares of the Company represents the common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted earning per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
The Company’s common stock equivalents at March 31, 2008 include the following:
Convertible redeemable preferred stock Series B | | | 16,011,804 | |
Detachable common stock warrants | | | 28,510,347 | |
Placement agent warrants | | | 2,931,035 | |
| | | | |
| | | 47,453,186 | |
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

3. | Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d) |
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are stated at original amount less allowance made for doubtful receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the period end. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business and believes all trade receivables in excess of the allowances for doubtful receivables to be fully collectible. Full allowances for doubtful receivables are made when the receivables are overdue for 1 year and an allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, the management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. The Company’s reserve requirements generally increase/decrease due to management projected demand requirements, market conditions and product life cycle changes. During the reporting periods, the Company did not make any allowance for slow-moving or defective inventories.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use. Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including replacement of minor items, are charged to expense; major additions to physical properties are capitalized.
Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The principal annual rates are as follows:-
Production lines and equipment | 10% with 30% residual value |
Leasehold improvements and others | 20% |
Upon sale or disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from disposal is charged or credited to income.
Impairment of long-live assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment of long-lived assets in the event that the net book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for any of the periods presented.

Recent accounting pronouncements
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined in FIN 48 as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 must be applied to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption. The cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 at adoption, if any, is to be reported as an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the year of adoption. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which relates to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet completed its analysis of the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities to choose measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. SFAS No. 159 does not establish requirements for recognizing and measuring dividend income, interest income, or interest expense. SFAS No. 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements, included in SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, and SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet completed its assessment of the impact upon adoption of SFAS No. 159 on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recent accounting pronouncements (cont’d)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. This statement retains the fundamental requirements of the original pronouncement requiring that the acquisition method of accounting, or purchase method, be used for all business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more business combination, establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control and requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest at their fair values as of the acquisition date. In addition, SFAS No. 141(R) requires, among other things, expensing of acquisition related and restructuring related costs, measurement of pre-acquisition contingencies at fair value, measurement of equity securities issued for purchase at the date of close of the transaction and capitalization of in process research and development, all of which represent modifications to current accounting for business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Adoption is prospective and early adoption is not permitted. Adoption of SFAS No. 141(R0 will not impact the Company’s accounting for business combinations closed prior to its adoption, but given the nature of the changes noted above, the Company expects that its accounting for business combinations occurring subsequent to adoption will be significantly different than that applied following current accounting literature.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that SFAS 160 will have on its financial statements upon adoption.

Stanley Rosner v. World Wide Magic Net, Inc. (n/k/a Cyber) and Burlington Coat Factory, New York State Supreme Court, Nassau County, Index No. 98-006524.

By stipulation dated May 7, 1998, Mr. Rosner agreed to transfer the action to the Supreme Court in New York County after conceding Nassau County was not the proper venue for the action. Since that date, Mr. Rosner has neither transferred the case nor pursued it further.

Additional paid-in capital
The Company allocated the net proceeds ($6,885,000) between the Series B Preferred Stock ($3,738,827) and the warrants ($3,146,173) based upon their relative fair values as of the closing date. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants (including Placement Agent Warrants which were valued at $644,800) using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: no dividend yield; weighted average risk free rate of 5.05%; volatility of 368% and contractual life of 5 years. The Company recorded the portion of the proceeds attributable to the stock as mezzanine equity pursuant to EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities after determining the guidance in FAS 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity did not apply. The Company determined that the warrants meet the definition of a derivative instrument as defined in SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, but do not require derivative treatment pursuant to the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Infosmart Group Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statement of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for year ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Income taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are declared.
The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock carries dividends at 8% per annum payable quarter in cash in US Dollars.
Comprehensive income
The Company has adopted SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances.
Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the accumulated balance of foreign currency translation adjustments of the Company.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company are Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”) and Brazil dollars (Real$). The Company maintains its financial statements in the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.
For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company which are prepared using the functional currency have been translated into United States dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity.
The exchange rates in effect at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were HK$1 for $0.1282 and $0.1286 and Real $1 for $0.562 and $ 0.4689 respectively. The average exchange rates for 2007, 2006 and 2005 were HK$1 for $0.1282, $0.1287 and $0.1286 and Real $1 for 0.5163 and 0.46 respectively. There is no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of HK$ to US dollars after the balance sheet date.

Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, deposits, trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. The carrying amounts of borrowings approximate their fair values because the applicable interest rates approximate current market rates.
It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, price or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
The Company is exposed to certain foreign currency risk from export sales transactions and recognized trade receivables as they will affect the future operating results of the Company. The Company did not have any hedging activities during the reporting period. As the functional currencies of the Company are HK$ and Real$, the exchange difference on translation to US dollars for reporting purpose is taken to other comprehensive income.
Stock-based payment
The Company adopted the SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R") using the modified prospective method. Under SFAS 123R, equity instruments issued to service providers for their services are measured at the grant-date fair value and recognized in the statement of operations over the vesting period.
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share
The Company reports basic earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The weighted average number of shares of the Company represents the common stock outstanding during the year.
Diluted earning (loss) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the year (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the year.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding for 2007 represents the number of common stock equivalent of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock 110,236,841 issued to the Original Infosmart Shareholders for the Exchange transaction as they were mandatory converted to common stock.
The Company’s common stock equivalents at December 31, 2007 include the following:
Convertible redeemable preferred stock Series B | | | 16,011,864 | |
Detachable common stock warrants | | | 28,510,347 | |
Placement agent warrants | | | 2,931,035 | |
| | | 47,453,186 | |
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

Restricted cash
Deposits in an Escrow accounts and deposits in banks for securities of bank overdrafts facilities that are restricted in use are classified as restricted cash under current assets.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are stated at original amount less allowance made for doubtful receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business and believes all trade receivables in excess of the allowances for doubtful receivables to be fully collectible. Full allowances for doubtful receivables are made when the receivables are overdue for 1 year and an allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, the management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. The Company’s reserve requirements generally increase/decrease due to managements projected demand requirements, market conditions and product life cycle changes. During the reporting years, the Company did not make any allowance for slow-moving or defective inventories.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use. Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including replacement of minor items, are charged to expense; major additions to physical properties are capitalized.
Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The principal annual rates are as follows:
Production lines and equipment | | | 10% with 30% residual value | |
Leasehold improvements and others | | | 20 | % |
Upon sale or disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from disposal is charged or credited to income.
Impairment of long-live assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment of long-lived assets in the event that the net book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cashflows attributable to such assets. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for any of the periods presented.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
Other than the bank guarantee given by a bank to a utility company which exempted the Company’s obligation to pay the required utility deposit (note 13), the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined in FIN 48 as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 must be applied to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption. The cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 at adoption, if any, is to be reported as an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the year of adoption. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which relates to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet completed its analysis of the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. SFAS No. 159 does not establish requirements for recognizing and measuring dividend income, interest income, or interest expense. SFAS No. 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements, included in SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, and SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet completed its assessment of the impact upon adoption of SFAS No. 159 on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. This statement retains the fundamental requirements of the original pronouncement requiring that the acquisition method of accounting, or purchase method, be used for all business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination, establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control and requires the acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest at their fair values as of the acquisition date. In addition, SFAS No. 141(R) requires, among other things, expensing of acquisition related and restructuring related costs, measurement of pre-acquisition contingencies at fair value, measurement of equity securities issued for purchase at the date of close of the transaction and capitalization of in process research and development, all of which represent modifications to current accounting for business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Adoption is prospective and early adoption is not permitted. Adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will not impact the Company’s accounting for business combinations closed prior to its adoption, but given the nature of the changes noted above, the Company expects that its accounting for business combinations occurring subsequent to adoption will be significantly different than that applied following current accounting literature.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that SFAS 160 will have on its financial statements upon adoption.

17. | Commitments and contingencies |
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of claims and litigation of which management is aware will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operation. Management is not currently aware of any pending legal proceedings against Infosmart BVI except for the following:
Stanley Rosner v. World Wide Magic Net, Inc. (n/k/a Cyber) and Burlington Coat Factory, New York State Supreme Court, Nassau County, Index No. 98-006524. This is a breach of contract, fraud and tortuous interference action seeking $5,000,000 in compensatory damages, unspecified punitive damages and declaratory relief. By stipulation dated May 7, 1998, Mr. Rosner agreed to transfer the action to the Supreme Court in New York County after conceding Nassau County was not the proper venue for the action. Since that date, Mr. Rosner has neither transferred the case nor pursued it further.
In Re: Factory 2-U Stores, Inc., U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware - Adv. Proc. No. 005-30480. On March 7, 2006, a complaint was filed against the Company in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware in the matter captioned In Re: Factory 2-U Stores, Inc. The complaint sought to recover from the Company $91,572 in alleged preferential transfers made to the Company by the debtor during the ninety-day period prior to the filing of the debtor's bankruptcy petition. The Company defended against the preference claim by asserting that such transfers were made in the ordinary course of business. On May 22, 2007, all parties entered into a settlement agreement, subject to the bankruptcy court’s approval. The settlement term is that Infosmart is required to pay to the complaint the sum of $15,000 on or before May 25, 2007.

Additional paid-in capital
The Company allocated the net proceeds ($6,885,000) between the Series B Preferred Stock ($3,738,827) and the warrants ($3,146,173) based upon their relative fair values as of the closing date. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants (including Placement Agent Warrants which were valued at $644,800) using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: no dividend yield; weighted average risk free rate of 5.05%; volatility of 368% and a contractual life of 5 years. The Company recorded the portion of the proceeds attributable to the stock as mezzanine equity pursuant to EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities after determining the guidance in FAS 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity did not apply. The Company determined that the warrants meet the definition of a derivative instrument as defined in SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, but do not require derivative treatment pursuant to the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133.
The Company evaluated whether the embedded conversion feature in the stock required bifurcation and determined that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion feature in the stock were clearly and closely related to the stock and concluded that bifurcation was not required under SFAS 133. The Company calculated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature embedded in the stock ($2,297,157) pursuant to the guidance in EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.
The Company participates in a defined contribution pension scheme under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (“MPF Scheme”) for all its eligible employees in Hong Kong.
The MPF Scheme is available to all employees aged 18 to 64 with at least 60 days of service in employment in Hong Kong. Contributions are made by the Company operating in Hong Kong at 5% of the participants’ relevant income with a ceiling of $2,580 (equivalent of HK$20,000). The participants are entitled to 100% of the Company’s contributions together with accrued returns irrespective of their length of service with the Company, but the benefits are required by law to be preserved until the retirement age of 65.

(Stated in US Dollars)
1. | Change of company name and financial year date |
Effect from October 12, 2006, the company changed its name from Cyber Merchants Exchange Inc. to Infosmart Group Inc. (the “Company”).
On August 16, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change of fiscal year end date from May 31 to December 31, with all the required filings submitted to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. | Corporation information and reorganization |
The Company was incorporated in the State of California and the Company’s shares are quoted for trading on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board in the United States of America.
Recapitalization
The Company entered into an Exchange Agreement dated July 7, 2006 and amended on August 14, 2006 (the “Exchange Agreement”) with KI Equity Partners II, LLC (“KI Equity”), Infosmart Group Limited (“Infosmart”), the owners of 100% of the capital shares of Infosmart, namely Chung Kwok, Po Nei Sze (“Ms. Sze”), Prime Corporate Developments Limited (“Prime Corporate”) (collectively the “Original Infosmart Shareholders”) and Hamptons Investment Group Limited (“HIG”) (collectively the “Infosmart Shareholders”), and Worldwide Gateway Co., Ltd. The closing of the Exchange Agreement occurred on August 16, 2006.
At the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of Infosmart’s capital shares (the “Infosmart Shares”) from the Infosmart Shareholders, and the Infosmart Shareholders transferred and contributed all of their Infosmart Shares to the Company. In exchange, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (note 22) to the Infosmart Shareholders. Each share of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) is convertible into 116.72136 shares of the Company's common stock, subject to adjustments. On October 12, 2006, the Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into shares of the Company's common stock upon the filing and acceptance of a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of California pursuant to the approval by a majority of the Company's stockholders (voting together on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis), following the closing of the Exchange Agreement, an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 40,000,000 shares to 300,000,000 shares and a change of the Company's corporate name to Infosmart Group Inc..
As a result of the closing of the Exchange Agreement, Infosmart became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and became the Company’s main operational business. The Exchange transaction, for accounting and financial reporting purposes, is deemed to be a reverse takeover transaction (“RTO”).
The RTO has been accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company whereby the historical financial statements and operations of Infosmart become the historical financial statements of the Company, with no adjustment to the carrying value of the assets and liabilities. The 944,444.45 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (which is convertible into 110,236,841 common stocks) outstanding prior to the RTO are accounted for at $(21,336) of net book value of deficit at the time of the RTO (note 6). The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the recapitalization of the stockholders’ equity as if the transaction occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented.

3. | Description of business (cont’d) |
For the development of the market in Brazil, the Company entered into an agreement on March 20, 2006 with two independent third parties for setting up a subsidiary, Discobrás Indústria E Comércio De Eletro Eletrônica Ltda (“Discobrás”), in Brazil for the new DVDR production facility. The Company was constructing a DVDR production facility in Brazil. The Company relocated some of its DVDR manufacturing equipment from Hong Kong to Brazil. The subsidiary had obtained all required government licenses and all other documents and approvals necessary to operate a DVDR production facility in Brazil. Production in Brazil is expected to start in April 2007.
In order to produce DVDR Discs ("the Products"), the manufacturers need to obtain two licenses:
(1) license agreement granted from DVDR developer (intellectual property owner) to produce the Products (the “License Agreement”); and
| (2) | The license for the manufacture of optical discs issued by the Customs and Excise Department of Hong Kong (the "Manufacturing License"). |
The applications for the License Agreement and the Manufacturing License are relatively complex and time-consuming. In order to obtain the Manufacturing License, the Company has to submit an application form with all necessary supporting documents to the Optical Disc License Division of the Customs and Excise Department, the production has to be halted for about a month for the Customs and Excise Department to arrange an appointment for the inspection of manufacturing premises and the Company will be informed of the result within 14 working days. The license is valid on the date of payment for a period of 3 years.
Due to historical association with Mega Century Limited (“Mega Century”), a company formerly controlled by Ms. Sze and her family members up till February 7,2005 when the entire equity interest of Mega Century owned by them was transferred to an independent third party, the Company has entered into cooperation agreements with Mega Century and a third party respectively for the production of the Products instead of halting production for a month during the application period for the licenses. With the relocation of certain production lines from Hong Kong to Brazil and the relocation of Hong Kong production facility from Chai Wan to Tsuen Wan in 2006, there will be a month's period for the Customs and Excise Department to inspect the new production facility in Tsuen Wan.
During the years, the Company operated under two cooperation agreements. The first corporation agreement (“Agreement 1”) was entered into on December 1, 2002 between ISTL and Mega Century. The second cooperation agreement (“Agreement 2”) was entered into between IML and an independent third party, Infoscience Holdings Limited (“IHL”) on December 1, 2004. IHL became the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with effect from December 1, 2006 (note 7).
Agreement 1
Mega Century is engaged in the business of producing the Products. Mega Century has been granted the License Agreement by DVDR developer to use certain intellectual properties owned by DVDR developer in order to produce the Products. Mega Century is also the holder of the Manufacturing License for the manufacture of optical Disc/Stampers issued by the Customs and Excise Department of Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Agreement 1, during the period from December 1, 2002 to December 31, 2005 (“First Cooperation Period”), Mega Century agrees to share technical know-how with ISTL and ISTL agrees to provide the production facilities, human and other resources (“Combined Facilities”) to produce the Products.

3. | Description of business (cont’d) |
In accordance with Agreement 1, ISTL is required to purchase from Mega Century at least $1,200,000 worth of Products, cumulatively (the “Minimum Sales”) during the First Cooperation Period. In respect of the Minimum Sales, Mega Century would purchase the necessary raw materials from ISTL at cost (“Production Cost”) incurred by ISTL and Mega Century shall use the Combined Facilities to manufacture the Products and sell to ISTL at the market price for the Products at the time of sale.
For Products manufactured at the Combined Facilities, Mega Century is responsible for paying all the relevant licensee fees and ISTL is responsible for all the recurrent costs and expenses incurred.
Agreement 1 further provides that the legal title and full beneficial ownership of the first 6,500,000 units of the Products (the “Minimum Quantity”) produced at the Combined Facilities within each whole month during the First Cooperation Period shall belong to ISTL and in this connection ISTL shall have the right to sell the Minimum Quantity to the third party buyers and/or to Mega Century.
For all Products manufactured in excess of the Minimum Quantity, the direct production cost is wholly borne by ISTL and the gross profit is shared between Mega Century and ISTL in the proportion of 30% and 70% respectively.
On January 1, 2004, Mega Century, ISTL and ISIEL entered into an agreement amending Agreement 1 whereby ISIEL agreed to be an additional party to Agreement 1 and to undertake ISTL’s rights and obligations with ISTL jointly and severally.
During 2006 and 2005, the production volume at the Combined Facilities was within the Minimum Quantity under Agreement 1. As a result, the Products wholly belonged to the Company in accordance to Agreement 1. Related party sales and purchases are detailed in note 24.
Up to December 31, 2004, the Company fulfilled the Minimum Sales as required by Agreement 1 and, as a result, there was no purchase commitments regarding such Minimum Sales requirement.
An extension agreement was signed on January 1, 2006 for the extension of the First Cooperation Period to December 31, 2006 with a renewal option.
The renewal option for Agreement 1 has not been exercised due to the suspension of production by ISTL and ISIEL during the year. The suspension of production was mainly due to the relocation of certain production lines of ISTL and ISIEL to Brazil and the remaining productions lines being transferred to IML to support the production by IML.
Agreement 2
With respect to Agreement 2, IHL also obtained the relevant License Agreement and Manufacturing License, whereby each of IHL and IML agrees that during the period from December 1, 2004 to December 31, 2005 (the “Second Cooperation Period”) to combine operationally their production facilities and resources to produce the Products similar to the arrangement set forth in Agreement 1.
For the Products manufactured at the combined facilities, IHL is responsible for paying all the relevant licensee fees and IML is responsible for all the recurrent costs and expenses incurred.

Agreement 2 provides that the legal title and full beneficial ownership of the first 5,000,000 units of the Products (the “Second Minimum Quantity”) produced by the combined production facilities within each whole month during the Second Cooperation Period shall belong to IML and in this connection IML shall have the right to sell the Second Minimum Quantity to third party buyers and/or to IHL. For those quantities in excess of the Second Minimum Quantity, they shall belong to IHL.
An agreement was signed on December 1, 2005 to extend the Second Cooperation Period to December 31, 2006 with a renewal option. An extension agreement was signed on November 29, 2006 to further extend the Second Cooperation Period until December 31, 2008 under the same terms and conditions of the extension agreement signed on December 1, 2005.
4. | Continuance of operations |
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Due to the fact that the Company is engaged in a capital intensive industry, the Company’s working capital (deficit) as of December 31, 2006 was $(8,560,763). Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company plans to satisfy its capital needs through revenue generated from its business and financing transactions through the sale of equity and/or debt securities.
Management’s plans for the continuation of the Company as a going concern include financing the Company’s operations through debt financing from the banks, trade creditors and investors with extended credit terms. Further, one of the stockholders of the Company has undertaken to financially support the Company in the course of its operation as necessary. In 2007, the Company commenced trial operations in Brazil and the management of the Company believes that the resulting new markets will generate significant opportunities in South America with growth in both revenues and profits and will enhance the cash flow position of the Company.

These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, deferred income taxes and the estimation of useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
License usage rights
License usage rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the license obtained by IHL (note 7).

Income taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are declared.
The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock carries dividends at 8% per annum payable quarter in cash in US Dollars.
Comprehensive income
The Company has adopted SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the accumulated balance of foreign currency translation adjustments of the Company.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company is Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”). The Company maintains its financial statements in the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.
For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company which are prepared using the functional currency have been translated into United States dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity.
The exchange rates in effect at December 31, 2006 and 2005 were HK$1 for $0.1286 and $0.1290 respectively. The average exchange rates for 2006 and 2005 were HK$1 for $ 0.1287 and $0.1286 respectively. There is no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of HK$ to US dollars after the balance sheet date.

Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, deposits, trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. The carrying amounts of borrowings approximate their fair values because the applicable interest rates approximate current market rates.
It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, price or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
The Company is exposed to certain foreign currency risk from export sales transactions and recognized trade receivables as they will affect the future operating results of the Company. The Company did not have any hedging activities during the reporting period. As the functional currency of the Company is HK$, the exchange difference on translation to US dollars for reporting purpose is taken to other comprehensive income.

The Company adopted the SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R") using the modified prospective method. Under SFAS 123R, equity instruments issued to service providers for their services are measured at the grant-date fair value and recognized in the statement of operations over the vesting period.
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share
The Company reports basic earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The weighted average number of shares of the Company represents the common stock outstanding during the year.
Diluted earning (loss) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the year (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the year.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding for 2005 represents the number of common stock equivalent of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (110,236,841)(note 2) issued to the Original Infosmart Shareholders for the Exchange transaction as they were mandatory converted to common stock.
The Company’s common stock equivalents at December 31, 2006 include the following:
Convertible redeemable preferred stock Series B | | | 24,459,088 | |
Detachable common stock warrants | | | 28,510,345 | |
Placement agent warrants | | | 2,931,035 | |

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less.
Restricted cash
Deposits in an Escrow accounts and deposits in banks for securities of bank overdrafts facilities that are restricted in use are classified as restricted cash under current assets.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are stated at original amount less allowance made for doubtful receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business and believes all trade receivables in excess of the allowances for doubtful receivables to be fully collectible. Full allowances for doubtful receivables are made when the receivables are overdue for 1 year and an allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, the management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. The Company’s reserve requirements generally increase/decrease due to managements projected demand requirements, market conditions and product life cycle changes. During the reporting years, the Company did not make any allowance for slow-moving or defective inventories.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use. Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including replacement of minor items, are charged to expense; major additions to physical properties are capitalized.
Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The principal annual rates are as follows:
Production lines and equipment | 10% with 30% residual value |
Leasehold improvements and others | 20% |
Construction in progress represents the factory under construction, which is stated at cost less any impairment losses, and is not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct costs of construction. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of fixed assets when completed and ready for use.
Upon sale or disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from disposal is charged or credited to income.

Impairment of long-live assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes impairment of long-lived assets in the event that the net book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cashflows attributable to such assets. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for any of the periods presented.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
Other than the bank guarantee given by a bank to a utility company which exempted the Company’s obligation to pay the required utility deposit (note 17), the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments” (“SFAS No. 155”), which amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”), and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 140”). SFAS No. 155 simplifies the accounting for certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments by allowing them to be accounted for as a whole if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 also clarifies and amends certain other provisions of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a remeasurement event occurring in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted, provided the Company has not yet issued financial statements, including for interim periods, for that fiscal year. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In March, 2006, the FASB released SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” (“SFAS No. 156”), to simplify accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. SFAS No. 156 permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for measuring each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities after they have been initially measured at fair value. SFAS No. 156 applies to all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. SFAS No. 156 will be effective for the Company as of December 31, 2006, the beginning of the Company’s 2007 fiscal year. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Recent accounting pronouncements (cont’d)
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. This interpretation requires that the impact of a tax position be recognized in the financial statements, if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning of the 2007 fiscal year, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of FIN 48 on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The provisions of this statement should be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this Statement is initially applied, except in some circumstances where the statement shall be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, of SFAS 157 on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, which provides guidance on the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. In SAB No. 108, the SEC staff establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors, under both the iron-curtain and the roll-over methods, based on the effects of the error on each of the Company’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. SAB No. 108 is generally effective for annual financial statements in the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The transition provisions of SAB No. 108 permits existing public companies to record the cumulative effect in the first year ending after November 15, 2006 by recording correcting adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, of SAB No. 108 on its financial statements.
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement as detailed in note 2, the Company acquired 100% ownership interest in Infosmart, in consideration for the issuance by the Company of 1,000,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the Infosmart Shareholders. The acquisition of Infosmart has been accounted for using the recapitalization accounting treatment which is equivalent to reverse takeover accounting basis with Infosmart being the accounting parent and the Company being the accounting subsidiary. The net deficits of the Company at the completion date on August 16, 2006 are as follows :-
| | (Unaudited) | |
Current assets | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 28,664 | |

Contingencies
The case of Stanley Rosner (“Rosner”) v. World Wide Magic Net, Inc. (n/k/a Cyber) and Burlington Coat Factory, New York State Supreme Court, Nassau County, Index No. 98-006524 remains outstanding. The claim alleges breach of contract, fraud and tortuous interference action and seeks $5,000,000 in compensatory damages, unspecified punitive damages and declaratory relief.

The complaint seeks to recover from Cyber $91,572 in alleged preferential transfers made to the Company by the debtor during the ninety-day period prior to the filing of the debtor's bankruptcy petition. The Company has defended against the preference claim by asserting that such transfers were made in the ordinary course of business. This bankruptcy proceeding is currently scheduled for trial on May 17, 2007. The Company plans to defend this claim vigorously. No provision has been made in respect of this claim.

Common Stock
Following the closing of the Exchange Agreement, there was an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 40,000,000 shares to 300,000,000. The shares have no par value.
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized under its Articles of Incorporation to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value per share. Of the 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, 1,200,000 shares were designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 1,800,000 shares were designated as Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Certificates of Determination that were approved by the Company's Board of Directors, and filed with and accepted by, the Secretary of State of the State of California prior to the closing of the exchange transaction.
Series A Preferred Stock
Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Infosmart Shares held by the Infosmart Shareholders were exchanged for 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (the “Exchange”). Each Series A Preferred share would be convertible into 116.72136 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Rate”). The Series A Preferred Shares were automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Mandatory Conversion”) at such time as the Company filed the amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with California’s Secretary of State (the “Amendment”) increasing the authorized number of shares of Common Stock from 40,000,000 to 300,000,000 so that the Company had a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock so as to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the Company changes its corporate name (collectively, the “Corporate Actions”).
The Corporate Actions were approved on September 5, 2006 by the Company’s Board of Directors and the holders of at least a majority of the Company’s outstanding capital stock. All the required filings were submitted to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the Amendment was filed and accepted by California’s Secretary of State on October 11, 2006.
Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants
The consummation of the Exchange was contingent on a minimum of $7 million (or such lesser amount as mutually agreed by Infosmart and the placement agent) being subscribed for, and funded into escrow, by certain accredited and institutional investors (“Investors”) for the purchase of shares of Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company promptly after the closing the Exchange under terms and conditions approved by the Company’s board of directors immediately following the Exchange (the “Financing”). The closing of the Financing was contingent on the closing of the Exchange, and the Exchange was contingent on the closing of the Financing.

Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants (cont’d)
Immediately following the closing of the Exchange, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $7.65 million in connection with the Financing from the Investors. Pursuant to Subscription Agreements entered into with these Investors, the Company sold 1,092,857.143 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock with detachable warrants at a price per share of $7.00. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. It will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election of the holder at a conversion price equal to $0.261 per share (“Conversion Price”). The Company was required to register the common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock and warrants issued in the Financing with the Securities and Exchange Commission for resale by the Investors. After deducting placement agents’ commissions and expenses as detailed below, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $6.89 million in the Financing.
In connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock to the Investors, the Company issued warrants to the Investors to purchase an aggregate of 29,310,345 shares of common stock, on as-converted basis, of the Company. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.326 per share, subject to adjustments.

For their services, the Placement Agents received a commission equal to 8% of the gross proceeds or approximately $587,000 from the offering and a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 2% of the gross proceeds or approximately $153,000.
In addition, the Placement Agents received, for nominal consideration, five-year warrants to purchase 10% of the number of shares of common stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock issued in the Financing are converted to (“Placement Agent Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants will be exercisable at any time at a price equal 125% of the conversion price, on a net-issuance or cashless basis. The Placement Agent Warrants have registration rights similar to the registration rights afforded to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and warrants. The Company also paid for the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Placement Agents and all purchasers in the amount of $25,000. Further, the Company issued to the Placement Agent, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,931,035 shares of our common stock on an as-converted basis at an exercise price of $0.326 per share. The warrants are fully vested at the time of grant and have a term of five years. The material terms of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock are summarized below.
Voting: The holders of Preferred Stock (including the Investors acquiring such shares as part of the Financing after the closing of the Exchange) are entitled to vote together with the holders of the common stock, as a single class, upon all matters submitted to holders of common stock for a vote. Each share of Preferred Stock will carry a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable as if converted at the record date.

Conversion: The outstanding and unconverted Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price then in effect by delivering to the holders an Automatic Conversion Notice upon the happening of all of the following events: (i) for each of the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the date of delivery of the Automatic Conversion Notice, the daily Closing Price of the Common Stock shall be equal to at least two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the Conversion Price in effect as of the date immediately preceding the date of the Automatic Conversion Notice; and (ii) the daily trading volume of the Common Stock for each of the Trading Days during such twenty (20) Trading day period shall be at least 500,000 shares; provided, however, no such conversion is permitted unless at the time of the delivery of the Automatic Conversion Notice and on the Automatic Conversion Date, (A) The Company is in compliance with all of its obligations under this Certificate of Determination and the Transaction Documents, (B) during each of the Trading Days in such twenty (20) day period, the Registration Statement has been effective and has not been suspended by the SEC, (C) as of the Conversion Date, the Registration Statement is effective and has not been suspended by the SEC and no event has occurred which will likely result in the Registration Statement being declared ineffective or suspended by the SEC, and (D) no Triggering Event (as described under “Redemption Rights” in this Form 8-K) has occurred and is continuing.
Any outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock not yet converted will be converted automatically two years from the date of the issuance of such stock at the then effective conversion price.
Additional paid-in capital
The Company allocated the net proceeds ($6,885,000) between the Series B Preferred Stock ($3,738,827) and the warrants ($3,146,173) based upon their relative fair values as of the closing date. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants (including Placement Agent Warrants which were valued at $644,800) using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: no dividend yield; weighted average risk free rate of 5.05%; volatility of 368% and a contractual life of 5 years. The Company recorded the portion of the proceeds attributable to the stock as mezzanine equity pursuant to EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities after determining the guidance in FAS 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity did not apply. The Company determined that the warrants meet the definition of a derivative instrument as defined in SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, but do not require derivative treatment pursuant to the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133.
The Company evaluated whether the embedded conversion feature in the stock required bifurcation and determined that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion feature in the stock were clearly and closely related to the stock and concluded that bifurcation was not required under SFAS 133. The Company calculated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature embedded in the stock ($2,297,157) pursuant to the guidance in EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Pursuant to the provisions of California’s Corporation Code, we have adopted the following indemnification provisions in our restated and amended Articles of Incorporation for our directors and officers:
“(a) Directors. The liability of the directors of this corporation for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under California law.
(b) Directors and Officers. The corporation is authorized to indemnify the directors and officers of the corporation to the fullest extent permissible under California law.”
In addition, our Bylaws contain the following provision regarding indemnification of its officers, directors, employees or other agents of the Company:
“The corporation has the power to indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or other agent of this corporation or of its predecessor, or is or was serving as such of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, at the request of this corporation against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, as provided in California Corporations Code Section 317 as that section now exists or may from time to time be amended to provide.”
Section 204 of the California General Corporation Law allows a corporation, among other things, to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for monetary damages in an action brought by the corporation itself or by way of a derivative action brought by shareholders for breach of a director’s duties to the corporation and its shareholders. The indemnification provision may not eliminate or limit liability of directors for the following specified actions, however: (i) for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law; (ii) for acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders, or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director; (iii) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit; (iv) for acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard of the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director’s duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders; (v) for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders; (vi) for transactions between the corporation and a director, or between corporations having interrelated directors; and (vii) for improper distributions and stock dividends, loans and guaranties. The indemnification provision does not apply to acts or omissions occurring before the date that the provision became effective and does not eliminate or limit the liability of an officer for an act or omission as an officer, regardless of whether that officer is also a director.
Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law gives a corporation the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any proceeding, whether threatened, pending, or completed, and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that that person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. A corporation may indemnify such a person against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually or reasonably incurred in connection with the proceeding, if that person acted in good faith, and in a manner that that person reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the corporation; and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the person was unlawful. In an action by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter (a) as to which the person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation in the performance of that person’s duty to the corporation and its shareholders, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such proceeding was brought shall determine that, in view of all of the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses; and (b) which is settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval. To the extent that any such person has been successful on the merits in defense of any proceeding, or any claim, issue or matter therein, that person shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Indemnification is available only if authorized in the specific case by a majority of a quorum of disinterested directors, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, by approval of the shareholders other than the person to be indemnified, or by the court. Expenses incurred by such a person may be advanced by the corporation before the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to indemnification.
Section 317 of the California General Corporation Law further provides that a corporation may indemnify its officers and directors in excess of the statutory provisions if authorized by its Articles of Incorporation and that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent against any liability asserted or incurred in his or her capacity, or arising out of his or her status with the corporation.
These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our executive officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. No pending material litigation or proceeding involving our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought exists, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any of our directors or executive officers.
The following is a summary of our transactions during the last three years involving sales of our securities that were not registered under the Securities Act:
On June 12, 2008 and in connection with a private offering of our Class A Warrants, we issued to 40 accredited and/or sophisticated investors 5-year Class A Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 220,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.262. The issuance of these securities was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. We made this determination based on the representations of the investors, which included, in pertinent part, that each is an "accredited investor" and/or sophisticated investors within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and that each understood that the securities issued to them may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.
On April 30, 2008 and in connection with a $5,000,000 commercial secured lending transaction, we issued to two accredited investors 5-year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 19,083,970 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.262. The issuance of these securities was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. We made this determination based on the representations of the investors, which included, in pertinent part, that each is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and that each understood that the securities issued to them may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom. We shall also issue 4-year warrants to the placement agent for the purchase of up to an aggregate 1,335,878 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.328 per share.
On September 14, 2006, we issued 459,770 shares of common stock at a price per share of $0.261 to Richardson & Patel LLP, an unaffiliated entity, as payment for legal services rendered in connection with the share exchange transaction as of August 16, 2006. This transaction was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act. As Infosmart’s legal counsel, the acquirer occupies a status that affords it effective access to the information registration would otherwise provide. Further, the shares were issued to an entity qualified as an "accredited investor," as that term is defined in the Act. The following conditions were all met with respect to this transaction: (1) the registrant did not advertise this issuance in any public medium or forum, (2) the registrant did not solicit any investors with respect to this issuance, (3) the registrant did not publicize any portion of the purchase or sale of the shares issued, (4) none of the shares issued were offered in conjunction with any public offering, and (5) neither the registrant nor the investor paid any fees to any finder or broker-dealer in conjunction with this issuance.
In August 2006 and immediately prior to the closing of the Exchange Agreement, we issued 2,850,000 shares of Infosmart’s common stock to Worldwide Gateway Co., Ltd. (“Gateway”) for Gateway’s services as a consultant to Infosmart connection with the Exchange (“Gateway Shares”). Such securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The issuance of these securities was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Infosmart made this determination based on the representations of Gateway, which included, in pertinent part, that such shareholder was not a "U.S. person" as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act, and that such shareholders were acquiring our common stock, for investment purposes for their own respective accounts and not as nominees or agents, and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and that Gateway understood that the shares of our common stock may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.
In August 2006, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Infosmart issued 1,000,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock to the Infosmart Shareholders in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of Infosmart. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock were converted into 116,721,360 shares of Infosmart’s common stock. Such securities were not registered under the Securities Act. The issuance of these shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Infosmart made this determination based on the representations of Gateway, which included, in pertinent part, that such shareholders were not a "U.S. person" as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act, and that such shareholders were acquiring our common stock, for investment purposes for their own respective accounts and not as nominees or agents, and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and that such shareholders understood that the shares of our common stock may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.
In August 2006, pursuant to the Financing, Infosmart issued 1,092,857.143 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock to the Investors in exchange for gross proceeds of approximately $7,650,000 that Infosmart received pursuant to Subscription Agreements entered into with the Investors for the purchase of its Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $7.00 per share. When converted to common stock, the conversion price per share is $0.261 per share of common stock, subject to standard adjustments. Such securities were not registered under the Securities Act. The issuance of these securities was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Infosmart made this determination based on the representations of Gateway, which included, in pertinent part, that such shareholders were either (a) "accredited investors" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, or (b) not a "U.S. person" as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Act, and that such shareholders were acquiring our common stock, for investment purposes for their own respective accounts and not as nominees or agents, and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and that Gateway understood that the shares of our common stock may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.
In August 2006 and in connection with Financing and the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock to the Investors, Infosmart also issued warrants to the Investors to purchase the number of shares of the common stock of the Company into which such Series B Preferred Stock are convertible (the “Conversion Shares”). Infosmart issued warrants to the Investors to purchase an aggregate of 29,310,345 shares common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.326 per share, subject to adjustments. In connection with the Financing, Infosmart also issued warrants to placement agents’ Keating Securities, LLC and Axiom Capital Management, Inc. for the purchase of an aggregate of 2,931,035 shares at an exercise price of $0.326. The warrants are fully vested and have a 5-year term. Such securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The issuance of these securities was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Infosmart made this determination based on the representations of the Investors, which included, in pertinent part, that such shareholders were either (a) "accredited investors" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, or (b) not a "U.S. person" as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act, and that such shareholders were acquiring our common stock, for investment purposes for their own respective accounts and not as nominees or agents, and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and that the Investors understood that the shares of our common stock may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.
On October 24, 2005, we issued 500,000 shares of common stock to KI Equity at a purchase price of $0.05 per share for an aggregate price of $25,000 in order to provide additional funds for our working capital needs. These shares of Common Stock were issued under an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. As such, the shares of Common Stock issued to KI Equity will be restricted shares, and the holder thereof may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such shares without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. Infosmart agreed to grant "piggyback" registration rights to KI Equity with respect to the above shares.
On October 5, 2005, we issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock, in restricted form, to KI Equity at a purchase price of $0.05 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000 in order to provide funds for our working capital needs. Also on October 5, 2005, Infosmart issued 250,000 shares of its common stock to Kevin R. Keating, the sole officer and director of Infosmart at that time, for services rendered to Infosmart valued at $12,500, or $0.05 per share, and we also issued 250,000 shares of its common stock to Garisch Financial, Inc. for consulting services rendered to Infosmart valued at $12,500, or $0.05 per share. We consider this to be the best estimate of the fair value of the non-cash transaction. All of the shares of common stock issued on October 5, 2005 were issued under an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. As such, the shares of common stock issued to KI Equity, Kevin R. Keating and GFI will be restricted shares, and the holder thereof may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such shares without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom. Infosmart agreed to grant “piggyback” registration rights to KI Equity, Kevin R. Keating and GFI with respect to the above shares.
On September 30, 2005, we issued 7,104,160 shares of common stock to KI Equity for $415,000, pursuant to the SPA described above. These shares of common stock were issued under an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. As such, the shares of common stock issued to KI Equity will be restricted shares, and the holder thereof may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such shares without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom.
In August 2005, we cancelled all outstanding stock options granted under our 1996, 1999 and 2001 Stock Option Plans (“Option Plans”) and further terminated each of Option Plans. Certain option holders agreed to the cancellation of their options, and Frank Yuan agreed to assume all obligations of Infosmart with respect to options to purchase 36,025 shares of our common stock held by certain employees and consultants who did not agree to cancel their options.
Effective May 31, 2005, we issued 120,862 shares of our common stock (on a post-Reverse Split basis) as a stock bonus to certain employees and directors. These shares were issued under an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The individuals receiving the Stock Bonus previously had stock options in Infosmart which were cancelled as part of this stock bonus and the Company Reorganization in May 2005.
Except as stated above, we have had no recent sales of unregistered securities within the past three fiscal years. There were no underwritten offerings employed in connection with any of the transactions described above.
ITEM 16. EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES
(a) Exhibits
See “Exhibit Index” below, which follows the signature pages to this registration statement.
ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
| (1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
| (i) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"); |
| (ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") pursuant to Rule 424(b), if in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
| (iii) | Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. |
| (2) | For purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering. |
| (3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| (4) | For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
| (i) | any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
| (ii) | any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer; |
| (iii) | portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and |
| (iv) | any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser. |
| (5) | For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the small business issuer under Rule 424(b)(1), or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the SEC declared it effective. |
| (6) | For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities. |
| | |
| (7) | Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
