Asia8, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada as “H&L Investments, Inc.” in September of 1996. On December 22, 1999 the Company changed its name to “Asia4sale.com, Inc.” on acquiring Asia4Sale.com, Ltd., a Hong Kong registered software development company. The Company sold Asia4Sale.com, Ltd. in January of 2005. |
The Company acquired a 49% interest in World Wide Auctioneers, Inc., a Nevada registered corporation, holding 100% of a British Virgin Island registered company World Wide Auctioneers, Ltd (“World Wide”), an international equipment auction company on June 30, 2000. World Wide, based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) holds unreserved auctions on a consignment basis for the sale of construction, industrial and transportation equipment. On August 8, 2003 World Wide Auctioneers, Inc. sold 100% of World Wide to a Nevada registered company, WWA Group, Inc. (“WWA Group”) in a stock exchange transaction. The stock exchange caused the Company to acquire a minority equity investment in WWA Group which it accounted for using the equity method. WWA Group sold World Wide to Seven International Holdings, Ltd. (“Seven”), a Hong Kong registered company, on October 31, 2010, in exchange for Seven’s assumption of the assets and liabilities of World Wide subject to certain exceptions. The disposition did not affect WWA Group’s interest in Asset Forum, LLC., its ownership of proprietary on-line auction software or its equity interest and debt position in Infrastructure Developments Corp. (“Infrastructure”). On March 26, 2012, the Company sold 3,240,000 shares from its investment in WWA Group at a price of $0.025 per share, for a net amount of $81,000. On May 20, 2012 the Company divested itself of an additional 2,412,408 shares of WWA Group to settle a net amount of $109,048 in debt. At September 30, 2013 the Company did not own substantial shareholding in WWA Group and therefore did not record its share in the profit and loss of WWA Group for the period ended September 30, 2013. |
