(“Dalian Guo-Heng”), as well as Dalian Guo-Heng’s variable interest entity and Dalian Vastitute Media Group Co., Ltd. (“V-Media Group”).

Hong Kong
Fortune-Rich was incorporated in Hong Kong and has operations through its subsidiaries in the PRC, its only tax jurisdiction. Fortune-Rich did not earn any income that was derived in Hong Kong since incorporation and therefore was not subject to Hong Kong Profit tax. All Fortune-Rich and its subsidiaries’ income are generated in the PRC. Accordingly, its income tax provision is calculated based on the applicable tax rates and existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof.
PRC
a) Income Tax
Dalian Guo-heng and V-Media Group are governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China concerning the private-run enterprises, which are currently subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% on net income reported after appropriated tax adjustments. Because of different tax jurisdictions’ restriction, the V-Media Group and its subsidiaries of Shenyang, Wangluo, Tianjin, Beijing and Shanghai have loss carryovers that can only be used to offset their own future taxable income. The loss carry forward for those subsidiaries amounted to $3,991,308 and $1,587,852 as of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively.
The Company periodically evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, and reduces the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent it believes a portion will not be realized. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of the deferred tax assets, including its recent cumulative earnings experience, expectation of future income, the carry forward periods available for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors. For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, management concluded the realization of RPC deferred tax assets is uncertain. A valuation allowance of approximately 50% of the deferred tax asset totalling $504,391 was recorded as of March 31, 2013.
b) Business Tax
Dalian Guo-heng, Dalian Vastitude Media Group Co., Ltd. and its five subsidiaries are also subject to 5% business tax and related surcharges levied on advertising services in China.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview and Corporate History
We are one of the fastest growing outdoor advertising companies in China. We own and operate various outdoor media network and provide a full range of integrated outdoor advertising services to our clients, including art design, advertising publishing, daily maintenance and technical upgrading. We believe our well-diversified outdoor advertising media network and our ability to provide advertising services on an integrated basis allow us to target and satisfy client needs at all levels. Founded in 2000, we have grown steadily and expanded our media network into Shenyang, Tianjin, Beijing and Shanghai from our headquarters in Dalian.
Our principal executive offices are located at Golden Name Commercial Tower 8th floor, 68 Renmin Road, Zhongshan District, Dalian, P.R. China.
We provide clients with advertising opportunities through our diverse media platforms, which include four 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, metro-trains and train stations; (3) Billboard and Large LED displays along the city’s streets and highways; and (4) our proprietary and patented multi-media system, “City Navigator.”
We have experienced sustainable business growth in recent years. The size of our network has grown significantly over the years since the commercial launch of our advertising network. As of December 31, 2012, the number of bus and taxi shelters on which we operate and carry our advertisements is 810; the number of buses that carry our mobile advertisements is 336; the number of mobile displays through Dalian metro-trains is 38. As of December 31, 2012, we have installed 52 “City Navigator” units across Dalian urban area, 3 mega-screen (126 square meters to 400 square meters, approximately 1,356 square feet to 4,306 square feet) LED screens and 8 metal billboards in Dalian, 4 LED screens in the business district in Shenyang, 1 indoor LED screen (22 square meters, approximately 237 square feet) in Tianjin Railway Station, 1 mega-screen (150 square meters, approximately 1,614 square feet) LED screen in Beijing and 5 outdoor billboards in Shanghai. On March 1, 2012, we also gained the operating right for one LED screen located at No. 1 Times Square in New York City in the United States for twelve months. We successfully extended the lease through August 31, 2014.
On July 17, 2012, our name was changed from China New Media Corp. to V Media Corporation through a short form merger pursuant to Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware by merging a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation in the merger. Our trading symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board remains CMDI.OB.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Domestic Spending and Urbanization
The demand for our advertising time slots is directly related to the outdoor advertising spending in northeast China. Advertising spending is largely determined by the economic conditions in our region. The Chinese government is aimed at building a domestic consumer-driven economy, which we believe, will continue to generate demand for outdoor advertising.
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 displaying 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 various 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 are aggressively expanding 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 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 broaden our client base, especially in the new marketplace such as Shenyang and Tianjin. As we expand our advertising client base and promote public’s 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 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 are highly visible even during bright daylight, it improves the advertising effects markedly. We plan to build more mega-screen (100 square meters to 500 square meters, approximately 1,076.4 square feet to 5,382 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 continuous 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:
● | 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. |

Revenue
Our total revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 were $16,439,174, an increase of $2,761,814 or 20.2%, from $13,677,360 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, sales in Dalian district, accounted for 76% of our total sales, increased by $2,073,906, or 19.9%, to $12,486,049 from $10,412,143 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was mainly because of the economic recovery in China. Overall sales in Shenyang district decreased by $138,732, or 13.0%, to $930,903 from $1,069,635 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. In Shenyang, sales generated from street fixture and display network increased 47.8%, or $91,133 compared with same period in 2012, and sales generated from billboards including LED screens decreased 26.2%, or $229,865 compared with same period in 2012.
For nine months ended March 31, 2013, sales in Tianjin district increased by $67,627, or 20.4%, to $399,428 from $331,801 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. Sales revenue in Shanghai District increased $303,727 or 67.7% to $752,533 from $448,806 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.
The Company also generated sales revenue of $1,645,261 from its Beijing District compared with the revenue of $1,414,975 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.
Sales revenue in US district increased $225,000 from none for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, because in January 2013, the Company signed a contract valued at $900,000 with a customer to sublease certain advertising time slot of its leased Time Square Billboard for one year term effective January 1, 2013.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 were $13,337,174, an increase of $6,148,684 or 85.5%, from $7,188,490 for the same period ended March 31, 2012. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to: (i) The increase in depreciation of about $0.29 million due to increase of property plant and equipment. (ii) The increase in billboard rights amortization expense in the amount of $1.1 million due to increase of billboard right obtained. (iii) The cost of Time Square LED in the amount of $1.96 million, compared with zero in the same period ended March 31, 2012. (iv) Increase in labor and raw material cost. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of revenue accounted for approximately 81.1% and 52.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We incurred fees to building owners for placing and/or operating our digital screens. These fees constitute a significant portion of our cost of revenues. While we make payment almost immediately after signing the leasing contract and make additional payment on a fixed schedule, it took us a while to ramp up sales of advertising time slots and locations and build up revenues from these newly acquired or leased platforms. As we continue to operate the current advertising network and look for opportunity to expand and add on new platforms, we may experience a similar level of leasing fees and billboard rights amortization expense. However, as the newly acquired platforms start to generate revenue, we may experience a decrease in the percentage of cost of revenue relative to revenue.

Gross Profit
Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 decreased by $3,386,870 or 52.2% to $3,102,000 from $6,488,870 for the same period in 2012. The decrease in gross profit was due to the increase in cost of revenue during the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Our gross profit margin during the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were 18.9% and 47.4%, respectively. The decrease in our gross profit margin during the period of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to (i) increased cost of revenue which was mainly caused by increased depreciation expense of advertising equipment and increase in overhead due to the higher labor cost and raw material cost of $3.43 million, (ii) cost of Times Square LED was about $1.96 million in current period. As a result, our gross profit margin was lower than the level we normally would expect. We intend to increase our sales effort to improve the utilization rate of our platforms in the coming quarters to improve our gross profit margin, and we expect to have a margin recovery as the new market gains sales momentum.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $5,678,369 during the nine months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $1,803,774 or 46.6%, compared to $3,874,595 for the same period ended March 31, 2012. Along with an increase in our payroll and administrative costs, the increase in our operating expenses was mainly due to increased selling and promotional expenses so as to improve market awareness in both existing and new markets, and other costs related to supporting our sales force as the overall advertising market became more competitive. We expect selling and marketing expenses to increase at a controllable pace as we will continue to invest greater resources in sales and marketing of our advertising network.
Other Income (Expenses)
For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, we had total other expense of $290,009, an decrease of $514,748 or 64%, compared with $804,757 during the same period of 2012. The decrease in other expenses was mainly due to the fact that the Company received tax refund of $308,819 and $239,015 award for countries known trademarks honor during the period.
Total interest expense on bank loans for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, amounted to $814,655 and $774,245, respectively.
Income Tax Provision (Benefit)
Our profit is subject to the prevailing tax rate applicable to the respective jurisdictions in which we operate.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, we reported an income tax provision of $294,898 due to operating income in our Chinese subsidiaries incurred during the quarter. For the same period in 2012, we reported an income tax provision of $534,966. Management concluded that realization of PRC deferred tax assets is uncertain. A valuation allowance of approximately 50% of the deferred tax asset totalling $504,391 was recorded as of March 31, 2013.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to the Company
Net loss attributable to the Company was $3,431,807 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, as compared with a net income of $1,040,868 during the nine months ended March 31, 2012, representing a decrease of 429.7%. The decrease in net income was mainly attributed to increase in cost of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses.
Comprehensive Income (Loss) Attributable to the Company
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 gain, our comprehensive loss was $3,208,331 during the nine months ended March 31, 2013, as compared with comprehensive income of $1,447,455 during the nine months ended March 31, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically funded our working capital needs from operations, advance payments from customers, bank borrowings, and capital from shareholders. Presently, our principal sources of liquidity are generated from our operations and loans from commercial banks and capital leases. Our working capital requirements are influenced by the level of our operations, the numerical and dollar volume of our sales contracts, the progress of our contract execution, and the timing of accounts receivable collections.
Due to a negative working capital deficit, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has been brought into question. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that our existing resources, including cash generated from operations, bank loans and bank notes payable and advances from suppliers will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirement for our current operations over the next twelve months. In the past few months, our revenue increased due to the recovery of Chinese business environment. In January 2013, we signed a contract valued at $900,000 with a customer to sublease an advertising time slot of leased Time Square Billboard for one year term. We are currently negotiating with other potential customer for sublease. Thus, we expected that cash provided from operating activities will improve our working capital in the near future. 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. Our long-term liquidity will depend on our ability to refinance our debts. The Company expects to be able to refinance its short term loans based on past experience and the Company’s good credit history. In July 2012, we signed an agreement with Bank of Asia, pursuant to which, the bank provides a RMB 22 million ($3.5 million) revolving notes payable credit line from July 25, 2012 to July 25, 2020. We also have a line of credit from Bank of China in the amount of $3.36 million. As the date of this report, the Company has RMB 4 million ($644K) unused line of credit. Our major Shareholder Mr. Guojun Wang will provide personal loans when necessary to provide us with sufficient liquidity for the next 12 months.
As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $299,623, a decrease of $1,226,981 from $1,526,604 as of June 30, 2012.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,676,496 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $4,869,697 from the cash provided by operating activities of $8,546,193 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was mainly due to decreased net income of $4,435,828, decrease of account receivable of $2,069,329 and accounts payable of $3,260,472, offset by increase of depreciation and amortization of $2.6 million, increase of other payable of $1,022,353 and other liabilities including deferred revenue and tax payable for $479,230.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was $5,705,164 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $9,217,940 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. Cash used in investing activities in current period was for acquisitions of new outdoor advertising platforms to expand our existing advertising network and a loan to third parties.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
For the nine months ended March 31, 2013, net cash provided by financing activities was $817,269 as a result of i) net proceeds from bank acceptance notes payable was $2.9 million; ii) Net proceeds from short-term bank loans was approximately $2.2 million, iii) net proceeds from capital contributions of $333,028, partially offset by cash used in restricted cash of $3.3 million and $0.4 million repayment of bank loans. Net cash used in financing activities was $49,624 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to repayment of short-term bank loans of $345,883 and partially offset by a $314,439 proceeds from third party loan.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of our processes and the effect on the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The purpose of this evaluation is to determine if, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were operating effectively such that the information, required to be disclosed in our reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (i) was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In light of the material weaknesses that were identified and described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2012, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2013.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we have
● Continued our search for an experienced internal control manager for the Company to lead the testing and implementation of our accounting and internal control procedures.
● Evaluated the roles of our existing accounting personnel and updated the reporting structure of our accounting staff .
● Established a work plan to update the Company’s internal control procedures and policies.
● Developed a preliminary staff training program to all employees involved which objective is to enhance the staff’s awareness of the Company’s updated accounting policies and procedures and familiarity with US GAAP and SEC rules and regulations.
There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
