CHINA NEW MEDIA CORP.
(FORMERLY GOLDEN KEY INTERNATIONAL INC.)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
China New Media Corp., formerly known as Golden Key International Inc., is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1999.
On December 8, 2009, Golden Key International Inc. acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of HongKong Fortune-Rich Investment Co., Ltd., a Hong Kong corporation (“Fortune-Rich ”), through China New Media Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Merger Sub”) wholly owned by the Company. Fortune-Rich is a holding company whose only asset, held through a subsidiary, is 100% of the registered capital of Dalian Guo-Heng Management & Consultation Co., Ltd. (“Dalian Guo-Heng”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China. Substantially all of the Fortune-Rich’s operations are conducted in China though Dalian Guo-Heng, and through contractual arrangements with several of Dalian Guo-Heng’s consolidated affiliated entities in China, including Dalian Vastitude Media Group Co., Ltd. (“V-Media”) and its subsidiaries. V-Media is a fast-growing out-door advertising company with dominant operation in Dalian, the commercial center of Northeastern China. As a result of these contractual arrangements, which obligate the Company to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from V-Media’s activities and entitle it to receive a majority of its residual returns. In addition, V-Media Group 's shareholders have pledged their equity interest in V-Media Group to Dalian Guo-Heng, irrevocably granted Dalian Guo-Heng an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interests in V-Media Group and agreed to entrust all the rights to exercise their voting power to the person(s) appointed by Dalian Guo-Heng. Through these contractual arrangements, the Company and Dalian Guo-Heng hold all the variable interests of V-Media Group, and the Company and Dalian Guo-Heng have been determined to be the most closely associated with V-Media Group. Therefore, the Company is the primary beneficiary of V-Media Group. Based on these contractual arrangements, the Company believes that V-Media Group should be considered as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) under ASC 810, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No.51", because the equity investors in V-Media Group do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and the Company through Dalian Guo-heng is the primary beneficiary of V-Media Group. Accordingly, the Company believes that V-Media Group should be consolidated under ASC 810.
In connection with the acquisition, Merger Sub issued 10 shares of the common stock of the Merger Sub which constituted no more than 10% ownership interest in the Merger Sub and 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company to the shareholders of Fortune-Rich, in exchange for all the shares of the capital stock of Fortune-Rich (the “Share Exchange” or “Merger”). The 10 shares of the common stock of the Merger Sub were converted into approximately 26,398,634 shares of the common stock of the Company so that upon completion of the Merger, the shareholders of Fortune-Rich own approximately 96 % of the common stock of the Company;
As a result of the above-mentioned transactions, the shareholders of Fortune-Rich and persons affiliated with V-Media now own securities that represent 96% of the equity in the Company.
The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merge under the purchase method of accounting since there was a change of control. Accordingly, Hong Kong Fortune-Rich Investment Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries will be treated as the continuing entity for accounting purposes.
As part of the merger, the Company’s name was changed from “Golden Key International, Inc.” to “China New Media Corp..”

NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six and three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full years.
NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of China New Media Corp., its subsidiary, Fortune-Rich and its wholly-owned subsidiary Dalian Guo-Heng, as well as Dalian Guo-Heng’s variable interest entity, V-Media Group. All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the 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 year. Significant estimates, required by management, include the recoverability of long-lived assets and the valuation of inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
5
NOTE 2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Accounts Receivables
Accounts receivables are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible amounts, as needed.
The Company uses the aging method to estimate the valuation allowance for anticipated uncollectible receivable balances. Under the aging method, bad debt percentages determined by management based on historical experience as well as current economic climate are applied to customers’ balances categorized by the number of months the underlying invoices have remained outstanding. The valuation allowance balance is adjusted to the amount computed as a result of the aging method. When facts subsequently become available to indicate that the allowance provided requires an adjustment, then the adjustment will be classified as a change in estimate. There were allowances of $62,217 and $62,183 for doubtful accounts for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively.
Property, Equipment and Construction in Progress
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred while additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When the asset property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:
| Estimated Useful Life | | Residual value | |
Advertising equipment | 4 - 15 years | | 5% | |
Automobile | 7 years | | 5% | |
Computer, office equipment and furniture | 5 years | | 5% | |
Boat | 7 years | | 5% | |
Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction or acquisition and design fees incurred. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is provided until it is completed and ready for intended use.
6
NOTE 2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Intangible asset
Intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Under ASC 350, intangible asset included in the carrying value of investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting, and certain other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment at least annually based on comparisons of their respective fair values to their carrying values.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. No impairment loss is recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with the provision of ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition.” The Company recognizes revenues when the advertisements are posted over the contractual term based on the schedules agreed with the customer and collections are reasonably assured. Payments received in advance of services provided are recorded as deferred revenue.
Cost of revenues
Cost of advertising services consists primarily of media costs payable under exclusive advertising agreements, depreciation of advertising equipment, business taxes and surcharges and other direct operating costs. Media costs are expensed as incurred.
Selling, General and administrative Costs
Selling, general and administrative costs consist primarily of salaries and commissions for sales representatives, salaries for administrative staffs, rent expenses, office supply’s depreciation expense and employee benefits for administrative staffs.

NOTE 2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Foreign currency translation
The Company and HK Fortune Rich use the United States dollar (“US Dollars”) for financial reporting purposes. The Company, Dalian Guo-Heng and Dalian Vastitute Group maintain their books and records in their functional currency Renminbi (“RMB”), being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted.
For financial reporting purposes, RMB has been translated into United States dollars ("USD") as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders' equity as "Accumulated other comprehensive income". Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency translations are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. There is no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to USD after the balance sheet date.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, whenever necessary, against net deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted Fair Value Measurements which defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement. Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, notes, and loans, all meet the definition of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, taxes payable, notes payable and other loans payable qualify as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination and their expected realization and, if applicable, the stated interest rate is equivalent to interest rates currently available. The three levels are defined as follows:
· | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
· | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. |
· | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. |
Other than as listed below, the Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

NOTE 2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Earnings per Share
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS’) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per share.” ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with ASC 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company's operations is calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events that have occurred through February 16, 2010, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and has determined there were no material events since the balance sheet date of this report.
Asset Retirement Obligations
ASC 410, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” requires companies to record the present value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred. The liability is required to be capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset’s carrying amount. Over time, accretion of the liability should be recognized as an operating expense and the capitalized cost should be depreciated over the expected useful life of the related asset. The Company’s asset retirement obligations relate primarily to the dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities of its properties. The Company has no retirement obligations accrued on book because the disposed properties will be used to offset the expense incurred during these activities.

NOTE 2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
New Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13 (EITF No. 08-1) which amends ASC 605-25 “Revenue Recognition—Multiple-Element Arrangements”. ASU 2009-13 amends ASC 605-25 to eliminate the requirement that all undelivered elements have Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (VSOE) or Third Party Evidence (TPE) before an entity can recognize the portion of an overall arrangement fee that is attributable to items that already have been delivered. In the absence of VSOE or TPE of the standalone selling price for one or more delivered or undelivered elements in a multiple-element arrangement, the overall arrangement fee will be allocated to each element (both delivered and undelivered items) based on their relative estimated selling prices. Application of the “residual method” of allocating an overall arrangement fee between delivered and undelivered elements will no longer be permitted upon adoption of ASU 2009-13. The provisions of ASU 2009-13 will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption will be permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adoption of the provisions of the ASU 2009-13 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial Statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 which amends Subtopic 820-10 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, an entity is required to measure fair value utilizing one or more of the following techniques (1) a valuation technique that uses the quoted market price of an identical liability or similar liabilities when traded as assets; or (2) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820, such as a present value technique or a market approach. The provisions of ASU No. 2009-05 are effective for the first reporting period (including the interim periods) beginning after issuance. The provisions of ASU No. 2009-05 will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after August 27, 2009. Adoption of ASC 820 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 2-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of ASC 105, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. ASC 105 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Adoption of ASC 105 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Note 17 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
On December 8, 2009, the Company entered into a reverse merger transaction with Fortune-Rich (the “Share Exchange” or “Merger”).

ASC 805 states that in calculating the weighted average shares when a reverse merger took place in the middle of the year, the number of common shares outstanding from the beginning of that period to the acquisition date shall be computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares of the legal acquiree (the accounting acquirer) outstanding during the period multiplied by the exchange ratio established in the merger agreement. The number of common shares outstanding from the acquisition date to the end of that period will be the actual number of common shares of the legal acquirer (the accounting acquiree) outstanding during that period.

We had a wholly-owned subsidiary, Deep Rooted, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Deep Rooted”), through which, we intended to become a leading cross-platform community portal provider.
On December 8, 2009, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Hongkong Fortune-Rich Investment Co., Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Fortune-Rich”), through China New Media Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Merger Sub”) wholly owned by us. Fortune-Rich is a holding company whose only asset, held through a subsidiary, is 100% of the registered capital of Dalian Guo-Heng Management and Consultation Co., Ltd. (“Dalian Guo-Heng”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China. Substantially all of Fortune-Rich's operations are conducted in China through Dalian Guo-Heng, and through contractual arrangements with several of Dalian Guo-Heng’s consolidated affiliated entities in China, including Dalian Vastitude Media Group Co., Ltd. (“V-Media”) and its subsidiaries. V-Media is a fast-growing outdoor advertising company with dominant operation in Dalian, the commercial center of Northeastern China.
In connection with the acquisition, the following transactions took place:
· | The Merger Sub issued 10 shares of the common stock of the Merger Sub which constituted no more than 10% ownership interest in the Merger Sub and 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company to the shareholders of Fortune-Rich, in exchange for all the shares of the capital stock of Fortune-Rich (the “Share Exchange” or “Merger”). The 10 shares of the common stock of the Merger Sub were converted into approximately 26,398,634 shares of the common stock of the Company so that upon completion of the Merger, the shareholders of Fortune-Rich own approximately 96% of the common stock of the Company. |
· | Robert Blair resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Treasurer on December 8, 2009. |
· | Guojun Wang, Chairman of V-Media, was elected to serve on our Board of Directors as Chairman and as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. |
20
· | Ming Ma, President of V-Media, was appointed as President of the Company. |
· | Hongwen Liu, Chief Financial Officer of V-Media, was appointed as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. |
· | As part of the Merger, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), the Company transferred all of the outstanding capital of its subsidiary, Deep Rooted to certain of its shareholders in exchange for the cancellation of 9,760,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Split Off Transaction”). Deep Rooted was engaged in the business of internet travel planning. To date, Deep Rooted’s activities were limited to capital formation, organization, set-up of a website and development of its business plan and target customer market. Following the Merger and the Split-Off Transaction, the Company discontinued its former business and is now engaged in the outdoor advertising business. |
· | As part of the Merger, the Company’s name was changed from “Golden Key International, Inc.” to the Merger Sub’s name “China New Media Corp..” |
As a result of these transactions, persons affiliated with V-Media now own securities that in the aggregate represent approximately 96% of the equity in the Company.
V-Media is a fast-growing outdoor media company in China, and through the contractual arrangements between Dalian Guoheng and V-Media, we operate one of the largest outdoor advertising networks in northeast China with strong market presence in Dalian and Shenyang, the two most popular commercial cities in Northeast China. We provide clients with advertising opportunities through our diverse media platform which includes three major proprietary channels, (1) Street Fixture and Display Network, which includes bus and taxi shelters; (2) Mobile advertisement displayed on mass city transit systems, which includes displays on city buses and metro-trains; (3) Billboard displays along the city’s streets and highways.
We have experienced sustainable business growth in the recent years. The size of our network has grown significantly over the years since the commercial launch of our advertising network. The number of bus and taxi shelters on which we operate and carry our advertisements increased from 579 as of June 30, 2009 to 604 as of December 31, 2009. For the same period, the number of buses that carry our mobile advertisements increased from 330 to 337; the number of mobile displays through Dalian metro-trains increased from 16 to 28. We also added 3 mega-screen (100 M2 to 620 M2,) (approximately 1,076.4 square feet to 6,674 square feet) LED billboards and 3 metal billboards in downtown business districts, which increased our advertising space and time slots in our outdoor billboard network sixfold.We installed 50 “City Navigator” in fifty sites across Dalian urban area. The number of our clients has increased from 562 to 1,480 during these 6 months.
In March 2009, we set up a new joint venture in which we maintain a controlling equity position, Dalian Vastitude Network Technology Co., Ltd., which specializes in providing technical support and development to our multi-media platform and outdoor advertising customers. In April 2007, we established Shenyang Vastitude Media Co., Ltd. In July 2009, we launched our innovative “City Navigator” Networks, one of the most advanced outdoor advertising platforms in China.
Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
The increase in our operating results in the last two years is attributable to a number of factors, including the substantial expansion of our outdoor media network in Dalian and Shenyang, the two largest cities in Northeast China, our technical innovation, and our large-scale media system upgrading. We expect our business to continue to be driven by the following factors:
21
Increasing domestic spending in outdoor advertising
The demand for our advertising time slots is directly related to outdoor advertising spending in northeast China. The increase in advertising spending is largely determined by the economic conditions in our region. According to the “Statistical Communiqué of the PRC on 2008 National Economic and Social Development” released by the National Bureau of Statistics of China on Feb. 26, 2009, China’s economy has experienced rapid growth in the last five years, with an annual growth rate that has been in the range of 9% to 13%. The domestic retail sales have been growing even faster than any other sectors, with an average annual growth rate of 15.5% in the last 5 years. The latest Chinese government economic stimulus plan is aimed at building a domestic consumer-driven economy, which, we believe, is going to generate more demand for outdoor advertising. We expect the outdoor advertising spending in our regional market will maintain its double-digit growth in the years to come.
Expansion of Our Market Presence by Launching City Navigator ® Networks in Other Major Commercial Cities
We believe our proprietary multi-media advertising system – City Navigator ® Network is one of the most advanced outdoor advertising platforms available in China. This system combines the latest LED display technology, internet and WI-FI technology, and has proven to be very effective in our competition to get access to top tier cities such as Shanghai and Beijing.
By using wireless access technology, our LED displays at bus and taxi shelters are able to display real time programs at the control of our centralized computer systems. It consists of a Wi-Fi receiver, large-screen LED display, and web-based touch-screen kiosk which provide the public with information on all aspects of the city life, including travel, traffic, restaurants, shopping, hotels, business, medical and education. In addition, every City Navigator is equipped with Bluetooth, wireless access and printing technology. Users can either print the information or send the information to their cell phones or computers. As City Navigator® Network adopts Wi-Fi technology, users can enjoy its service from any area covered by its Wi-Fi signals. We intend to aggressively expand our media platform by launching City Navigator ® Networks in our target cities, such as Tianjin, Qingdao and Shanghai, to create our own cross-region advertising network and enhance our advertising distribution capacity.
Promotion of Our Brand Name to Attract a Wider Client Base and Increase Revenues
We plan to promote our brand name, 国域无疆TM, through both our own media channels and public channels in North China. We believe that the enhancement of public awareness to our brand name will help to broaden our client base, especially in the new marketplace such as Shenyang and Tianjin. As we expand our advertising client base and promote public awareness to our brand, demand for time slots and advertising space on our network will continue to grow.
Upgrade of Our Outdoor Billboard Network with New Digital Display Technology
We intend to capitalize on recent advances in digital display technology, especially mega-screen LED displays, to meet major institutional clients’ needs. Because the LED displays can be linked through centralized computer systems to instantaneously change static advertisements, and it is highly visible even during bright daylight, it improves the advertising effectiveness and efficiency markedly. We plan to build more mega-screen (100 M2 to 620 M2) (approximately 1,076.4 square feet to 6,674 square feet) LED displays at premier locations in our marketplace.
As we continue to expand our network, we expect to face a number of challenges. We have expanded our network rapidly, and we, as well as our competitors, have occupied many of the most desirable locations in Dalian. In order to continue expanding our network in a manner that is attractive to potential advertising clients, we must continue to identify and occupy desirable locations and to provide effective channels for advertisers. In addition, we must react to continuing technological innovations in the use of wireless and broadband technology in our network, and changes in the regulatory environment, such as the regulations allowing 100% foreign ownership of PRC advertising companies and new regulations governing cross-border investment by PRC persons.
We believe that our business model and success in our regional market give us a considerable advantage over our competitors. Our future growth will depend primarily on the following factors:
22
· | Overall economic growth in China, which we expect to contribute to an increase in advertising spending in major urban areas in China where consumer spending is concentrated; |
· | Our ability to expand our network into new locations and additional cities; |
· | Our ability to expand our sales force and engage in increased sales and marketing efforts; |
· | Our ability to expand our client base through promotion of our services; |
· | Our ability to expand our new systems including large-screen LED display network and City Navigator® Networks which commenced operation in the third quarter of 2009. |

Intellectual Property
Mr. Guojun Wang, our CEO and largest shareholder of V-Media, is the owner of 26 patents in the outdoor advertising display field. His innovations on billboards, bus and taxi shelters, newsstands, and other street furniture have been vastly used in our outdoor display networks.
Marketing
We market our advertising services directly to advertisers and to advertising agencies. As of December 31, 2009, we had 49 dedicated sales and marketing personnel. As we only commenced our current business operations in September 2000, many of our sales and marketing personnel have only worked for us for a short period of time. We depend on our marketing staff to explain our service offerings to our existing and potential clients and to cover a large number of clients in a wide variety of industries. We will need to further increase the size of our sales and marketing staff if our business continues to grow. We may not be able to hire, retain, integrate or motivate our current or new marketing personnel which would cause short-term disruptions of our operations, restrict our sales efforts and negatively affect our advertising service revenue.
Competition
We compete with some of the largest advertising companies in China that operate outdoor advertising networks such as JCDecaux China, Clear Media, CBS Outdoor (China) and TOM OMG. We compete for advertising clients primarily on the basis of network size and coverage, location, price, the range of services that we offer and our brand name. We also compete for overall advertising spending with other alternative advertising media companies, such as Internet, street furniture, billboard, frame and public transport advertising companies, and with traditional advertising media, such as newspapers, television, magazines and radio.

Revenues
During the three months ended December 31, 2009 we had revenues of $ 3,966,032 as compared to revenues of $2,102,922 during the three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $1,863,110, or 88.60%. The increase was a result of our increased and expanded sale to existing and new customers in 2009. We have expanded the scope of the advertising network rapidly by obtaining more desirable locations in Dalian, creating new advertising media platforms and continuing our efforts to expand our client base in Shenyang.

Cost of Revenue
During the 3 months ended December 31, 2009, our cost of revenue was $1,698,846, as compared to cost of revenue of $862,840 during the 3 months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $836,006, or 96.89%. The increase in cost of revenue was caused by the cost increase in V-Media Engineering & Design Co. and Shenyang District. As we become more experienced in our operation, we have been able to cut more costs and remain competitive in our core business segments and market territory. In addition, since the launch of our City Navigator and large-screen LED, we are able to generate higher profit margin on these new products due to lower maintenance costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses, totaled $698,147 during the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $340,722 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was mainly attributed to increases in our payroll, depreciation expenses, administrative costs and various fees associated with our efforts to go public in the U.S. capital market.
Net Income attributable to the Company
As a result of the factors described above, we had net income attributable to the Company in the amount of $1,133,482 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, as compared with $817,762 during the three months ended December 31, 2008, which represents a 38.61% year-over-year increase. The increase in net income was mainly attributed to our increase in revenue and our efforts to control costs.
Comprehensive Income
Our business operates primarily in Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), but we report our results in U.S. Dollars. The conversion of our accounts from RMB to U.S. Dollars results in translation adjustments. As a result of a currency translation adjustment loss, our comprehensive income was $ 1,133,086 during the three months ended December 31, 2009, as compared with $819,913 during the three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of 38.20%. The increase is due to significant currency exchange fluctuation of Chinese RMB to US Dollar for the periods.

During the six months ended December 31, 2009, we had cost of revenue of $2,891,813, as compared with cost of revenue of $1,726,364, an increase of approximately $1,165,449, or 67.51%, reflecting the increase in revenues. The gross profit rose to $4,241,553 for the six months ended December 31, 2009, a 71.0% increase compared with the six months ended December 31, 2008. The major reasons for the dramatic increase in gross profit from 2008 to 2009 are as following: 1) Increased usage of advertising space as we have been able to secure more popular locations and have raised more brand awareness among our customers; 2) We are able to realize more profits on some of our new advertising channels, such as large-screen LED billboards, which have lower maintenance costs and higher fees charged.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our operating expenses were $1,279,416 the six months ended December 31, 2009, compared with $681,713 the six months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $597,703 or approximately 87.68%. That increase reflects the increased salary expense, depreciation expense and other administrative expense and various fees associated with our efforts to go public in the U.S. capital market.
Net Income attributable to the Company
As a result of the factors described above, we had net income attributable to the Company in the amount of $2,041,048 for the six months ended December 31, 2009, compared with $1,636,170 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, which represents an increase of 24.75%. The increase in net income was mainly attributed to our increase in revenue and our efforts to control costs.
Also, as a result of a currency translation adjustment gain, our comprehensive income was $2,043,999 for the six months ended December 31, 2009, compared with $1,640,474 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, which represents an increase of 24.60%. The difference between net income and comprehensive income is due to currency exchange fluctuation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Presently, our principal sources of liquidity are generated from our operations and through bank loans. For the six months ended December 31, 2009, we generated $2,230,897 of net income and our cash flows from operations have produced a positive cash flow of $4,167,798 as compared to a positive cash flow of 387,457 for the same period ended December 31, 2008. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing resources, including cash generated from operations as well as bank loans, will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for our current operations. In order to fully implement our business plan and continue our growth, however, we will require additional capital either from our shareholders or from outside sources.
27
Operating Activities
For the six months ended December 31, 2009 our operations generated cash in the total amount of $4,167,798, as opposed to $387,457 from operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2008. This increase was mainly composed of the significant increase in our net income and increased advances from customers.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $4,646,392 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to only $1,357,780 for the six months ended December 31, 2008. We have invested heavily in building our infrastructures, including spending on the purchase and installation of our new advertising equipment, City Navigator and Mega-screen LEDs and advance payment for investment in setting up a Beijing advertising company.
Financing Activities
For the six months ended December 31, 2009, we have financed a total amount of $3,411,723 through bank loans and capital contributions, as compared to $1,020,928 provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2008. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is due to capital contributions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Neither Fortune-Rich, Dalian Guo-Heng, nor V-Media or its subsidiaries has any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on their financial condition or results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of that date, the Company’s controls and procedures were not effective due to some significant deficiencies (as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standard No. 2) in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. This is due to the fact that the Company lacks sufficient personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in the application of US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) standards, especially related to complicated accounting issues. This could cause the Company to be unable to fully identify and resolve certain accounting and disclosure issues that could lead to a failure to maintain effective controls over preparation, review and approval of certain significant account reconciliation from Chinese GAAP to US GAAP and necessary journal entries.
The Company has relatively small number of professionals employed by the Company in bookkeeping and accounting functions, which prevents the Company from appropriately segregating duties within its internal control systems and finalizing its financial report on a timely basis. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews.

Based on the control deficiency identified above, we have designed and plan to implement the specific remediation initiatives described below:
● | We are evaluating the roles of our existing accounting personnel in an effort to realign the reporting structure of our internal auditing staff in China that will test and monitor the implementation of our accounting and internal control procedures. |
● | We are in the process of completing a review and revision of the documentation of the Company’s internal control procedures and policies. |
● | We will begin implementation an initiative and training in China to ensure the importance of internal controls and compliance with established policies and procedures are fully understood throughout the organization and will provide additional U.S. GAAP training to all employees involved with the performance of or compliance with those procedures and policies. |
● | We will implement a formal financial reporting process that includes review by our Chief Executive Officer and the full Board of Directors of financial statements prior to filing with the SEC. |
● | We will increase our accounting and financing personnel resources, by retaining more U.S. GAAP knowledgeable financial professionals. |
The remedial measures being undertaken may not be fully effectuated or may be insufficient to address the significant deficiencies we identified, and there can be no assurance that significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified or occur in the future. If additional significant deficiencies (or if material weaknesses) in our internal controls are discovered or occur in the future, among other similar or related effects: (i) the Company may fail to meet future reporting obligations on a timely basis, (ii) the Company’s consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements, (iii) the Company’s business and operating results may be harmed.
Based on this evaluation,.
As required by Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Guojun Wang, and our Chief Financial Officer, Hongwen Liu, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not operating effectively.
