As of January 13, 2006, we had $19,975.82 in cash. Our general and administrative expenses are expected to average $1,700 per month for the next 12 months. We believe we have sufficient cash to meet our minimum development and operating costs for the next 12 months. Such costs include sales and marketing costs, personnel hires, and product development. Maintaining and further developing our brand is critical to our ability to expand our user base and our revenues. We believe that the importance of brand recognition will increase as the number of Internet users in China grows. In order to attract and retain Internet users, advertisers, subscribers, and wireless and e-commerce customers, we may need to substantially increase our expenditures for creating and maintaining brand loyalty. If our revenues do not increase proportionately, our results of operations and liquidity will suffer. As a result, we will need to raise additional capital to continue our operations past 12 months, and there is no assurance we will be successful in raising the needed capital.
The only cash requirements we presently have are for professional fees. We estimate this amount to be approximately $1,700 per month. Our present cash available should be able to satisfy this for the next two years period. Due to difficult market conditions, we are focusing on growing through strategic alliances without the necessity of outlaying cash.
Net sales or revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $15,107 versus $7,254 in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of 108.3%. The increase of the revenue is due to the increase of users and customers.
Income (loss) from operations for 2005 was $(1,565) as compared to loss from operations of $(1,766) for 2004, a decrease of $(3,331) or approximately 188.6%. The decrease was due to the increase in operating expenses. Our annual and quarterly operating results have varied significantly in the past, and may vary significantly in the future. As a result, we believe that year-to-year and quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results are not a good indication of our future performance. In addition, we have experienced very high growth rates in the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 and there may be expectations that these growth rates will continue. It is likely that in some future quarter, our operating results will be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In this event, the trading price of our common stock may fall.
Expenses (include General and Administrative Expenses and Interest Expenses) for the nine months ended September 30,, 2005 were $16,176 versus $6,008 in the comparable period in 2004. The increases in expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were attributed to the inclusion of new service engagement fees and other miscellaneous expenses in forwarding our business plan.
The new expenses include server management fees, networking service fess, and server hosting management system fees that we did not have in 2004.
If one or more of our key executives and employees are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to easily replace them and our business may be severely disrupted. In addition, if any of these key executives or employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers and suppliers and incur additional expenses to recruit and train personnel. At times, we may see a 20% or sometimes a 30 % increase in expenditures in management fee.
If one or more of our key executives and employees are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to easily replace them and our business may be severely disrupted. In addition, if any of these key executives or employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers and suppliers and incur additional expenses to recruit and train personnel. In order to attract and retain Internet users, advertisers, subscribers, and wireless and e-commerce customers, we may need to maintain this expenditure to create and maintain brand loyalty and consequently increase in sales and net income.
This trend could increase our operating expenses and could adversely affect our ability to obtain content at an economically acceptable cost.
-Cost of Sales-
Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $0 versus $0 in the comparable period in 2004. There was no cost of sales in our business.
BUSINESS - OUR COMPANY
A Summary of What We Do
We are an Internet based company whose goal is to develop a web site to be utilized in various services such as information search engine, online web application and image designing, digital network service, online market research, online promotion and advertising services, and query searches for both individuals and businesses.
Our sole business operation is in Shenzen; however, because 188info provides a trustworthy, efficient middle ground for users to find all the basics in their local area, our management and operational impact is not limited to Shenzen, but rather to all the cities we have reached out to on our service map.
When 188info first began, it was a local community forum for classifieds – a place for Shenzheners to find jobs, housing, goods and services, social activities, romance, advice, community information, and just about anything else. Over time, people started posting items in different areas: jobs, goods for sale, apartments/houses. This resulted in increased traffic. Gradually, 188info became an information middle ground for thousands of Shenzheners.
Similarly, there are thousands of internet users in other cities throughout China. 188info expanded its services to all major cities in China and became an important information source for rural/suburban residents as well. 188info owns its websites.
188info’s categories include career services, real estate, lodging, accommodations, transportation, computer networking, communications, electronics, furniture, gifts and apparel, printing presses, and other businesses. At the moment, 188info is working to improve and expand its real estate category.
Property developers directly sell housing units to consumers; 188info’s focus is in the secondary market where these units are resold. 188info is completing a real estate page to assist users in finding relevant information as well as to help users buy, sell and lease real estate.
Real estate searches correlate directly to needs for other information, such as schools, transportation, lodging accommodations, furniture, etc. We plan to address the specific needs of our customers by offering individual products and services and tailored solutions to maximize the effectiveness of their search efforts. We aim to better understand their online needs through regular customer dialogues. This will contribute to our business by allowing us to cross-sell our various products and services.
At present we have no real property and we maintain an office at Baimang Checking Station 1st Building South Mountain Xili Town, Shenzhen, China. Our corporate staff consists of people with experience in the Internet industry. Our telephone number is 011- 775-27653497.

Online Marketing in China
Similar to the trend in the U.S., Internet search in China has evolved from directory-based search to web search. Prior to 2001, Internet search in China mainly included directory-based search. Major forms of online marketing associated with directory-based search include pay-for-inclusion and fixed ranking marketing.
With the growth of Internet usage and the rapid development of the Internet search market in China, online marketing has become a more widely adopted marketing medium. IDC reported that in 2003, 43.8% of China’s Internet users clicked on various forms of online marketing, higher than Internet users in most parts of the Asia Pacific region (excluding Japan), and total online marketing revenues in China would amount to approximately US$130 million in 2004. The paid search market is expected to be the fastest growing segment of online marketing in the Asia Pacific region (excluding Japan) through 2007. Paid search is a business model that the customer is required to pay the amount of its bid when a user clicks on the customer’s listing in the search results. In the fixed ranking model, a customer pays a fixed fee to guarantee the display of its listing at a specified position on the search result page.
Forms of online marketing include paid search as well as online advertisements such as text links and graphical advertisements. The table below sets forth the various forms of online marketing as a percentage of total online marketing revenues in China for the periods indicated.

Auction-based P4P is a cost-effective platform designed to meet the need of businesses to reach the increasing number of Internet users. P4P enables a customer to bid for priority placement of its links in keyword search results. The customer is required to pay the amount of its bid when a user clicks on the customer’s listing in the search results. In the fixed ranking model, a customer pays a fixed fee to guarantee the display of its listing at a specified position on the search result page.
Online Advertisements. Online advertisements include text links, buttons, banners and other graphical advertisements. Online advertisements offered by search engines include both query sensitive and non-query sensitive advertising products. Advertisers purchase online advertising products directly from website operators or indirectly through advertising agents. iResearch estimates that online advertising revenues will comprise approximately 53% of online marketing revenues in 2006.
Unique Characteristics of Chinese Internet Search Market
Diverse Internet Search Needs. Internet users in China search for a variety of information, such as web pages, news and multimedia files. According to a survey of Internet search users in China conducted by iResearch in 2004, approximately 48% of those surveyed searched for MP3 files through search engines and approximately 35% of those surveyed searched for pictures. The following chart sets forth iResearch’s survey results.

Complexity of the Chinese Language. The complexity of the Chinese language requires special language processing technologies to generate relevant results. Sentences in Chinese consist of phrases, equivalent to words in English, that are formed by multiple characters. A search engine must index and segment the Chinese text phrases before
31
conducting keyword/phrase searches. Moreover, a Chinese language phrase generally has more synonyms and closely associated phrases than an English word. As a result, a Chinese language search engine must have a comprehensive database of synonyms and closely associated phrases in order to function effectively.
Large Base of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Customers. While large enterprises represent an important part of the paid search market, we believe that small and medium-sized enterprises comprise a substantial and growing portion of China’s potential paid search customer base. According to iResearch, the number of small and medium-sized enterprises in China is estimated to reach 24.8 million by the end of 2006. iResearch also forecasts that the number of small and medium-sized enterprises adopting some form of online marketing will grow from 410,000 in 2004 to 680,000 in 2006, representing a CAGR of 28.8%. Small and medium-sized enterprises are generally more likely to adopt paid search as a marketing medium given their relatively modest budgets. Paid search allows small and medium-sized enterprises to maximize the return on their spending by reaching potential consumers that they otherwise may not be able to reach cost-effectively.
Reliance on Distributors. China’s paid search market relies heavily on distributors to acquire customers, collect payments and provide customer service. 188Info pursues selective distributers to form strategic business alliances to acquire businesses, assets and technologies to compliment our existing capabilities and business. Meanwhile, we rely heavily on distributers to acquire customers, collect payments and provide customer service. This is in part due to the large, fragmented and less sophisticated small and medium-sized enterprise customer base, which is at an early stage of adopting paid search as a marketing medium. Moreover, since secure online payment and credit card systems are at early stages of development in China, distributors serve as an effective channel to collect payments from customers.
Our Strengths
We focus on providing Chinese language Internet search and related services. Our services are designed to enable our users to find relevant information efficiently online and to enable our customers to reach these users cost-effectively. We believe that our position in is primarily attributable to the following strengths:
Large Chinese Language Search Audience. We provide our customers with access to users from our websites, which consisted of over 76,000 third-party websites as of June 30, 2005. Our search engine significantly enhances our ability to attract users and to provide our customers with increased exposure to users who may be interested in their offerings.
Local Market Experience and Expertise. We have developed a significant understanding of the needs and preferences of our users and customers in China. We have expertise in developing search technologies that cater to the search behavior of Chinese users and address the unique features of Chinese language search. We also have a track record of successfully introducing and expanding our services to paid search customers across different regions of China. In addition, we have experience in operating in the highly regulated and rapidly evolving Internet industry in China.
Leading Technology. Our search technology provides users with relevant search results and customers with an efficient way to reach potential consumers. Our link-analysis, anti-spamming and Chinese language processing technologies form the core of our algorithmic search technology.
Extensive and Effective Distribution and Customer Service Network. Our customers can access our services directly or through our nationwide network of regional distributors. Our distributors sell our services to customers and collect payments for us. Our key distributors are restricted from selling similar products offered by our competitors during our contractual period. We also provide training to our distributors and evaluate their performance to ensure high-quality customer service. In addition, we, along with our distributors, provide training, keyword analysis and search reports to our customers to help them better understand our services and achieve higher return on investments.
Our distributors are in-house salesmen. We had 8 on our staff in 2004 and currently have 5. The salesmen are paid a monthly salary for their services. Distributer compensation for 2004 was RMB 55,357, or USD $6,680. For 2005, it was RMB 98,462, or USD 12,003.
32
Our Strategies
Our goal is to become a platform that provides users with the best way to find information and allows businesses to reach a broad base of potential customers. We intend to achieve our goal by implementing the following strategies:
Enhance User Experience and Increase Traffic. We believe that continuous improvement of our users’ experience is essential to increasing traffic to our websites. We plan to develop and introduce new features and functions to our search services, including new forms of searchable content. We also plan to refine our search algorithms and other related technologies, increase the size of our indexes and improve index refresh rates to enable users to find relevant information more efficiently.
Grow Online Marketing Business. We intend to grow our online marketing business by attracting potential customers and increasing spending per customer on our services. We plan to address the specific needs of our customers by offering individual products and services and tailored solutions to maximize the effectiveness of their marketing efforts. We aim to better understand their online marketing needs through regular customer dialogues, cross selling of our various products and services and introduction of new and innovative online marketing solutions.
Pursue Selective Strategic Acquisitions and Alliances. We intend to pursue selective strategic acquisitions of businesses, assets and technologies that complement our existing capabilities and business.
Products and Services for Users
We focus on offering products and services that enable our users to find relevant information quickly and easily. We offer the following services at 188info.com to users free of charge:
Web Search. Our web search allows users to locate information, products and services using Chinese language search terms. Through our search software, we build and continuously refine a large database of Chinese synonyms and closely associated phrases, which is essential for accurate and efficient execution of Chinese language searches. The 188info.com home page prominently features a search box that is designed to load quickly. After entering a search query, users are generally presented with a list of search results, which may include our customers’ links. Users can then access the desired websites by clicking on the hypertext links displayed in the search results.
In addition to providing access to more than 740 million indexed Chinese language web pages, we have integrated additional features into our web search that help users find information more easily. Our web search includes the following features:
| • | | Related Search – provides alternative search terms based on the original queries to help users find relevant web pages quickly; |

• | Promotion of a commercials exchange among various industries | |
• | Establishment of a community information service in Shenzhen by cooperating with communities |
• | Publication of yellow pages in Shenzhen | |
| | | |
Competition
The Internet search industry in China is rapidly evolving and highly competitive. Our primary competitors include U.S.-based Internet search providers and Chinese Internet companies. We compete with these entities for both users and customers on the basis of user traffic, quality (relevance) and quantity (index size) of search results, availability and ease of use of our products and services, the number of customers, distribution channels and the number of associated third-party websites. We also face competition from traditional advertising media.
U.S.-based Internet Search Providers. U.S.-based Internet search providers, such as Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft, have a strong global presence, well-established brand names, more users and customers and significantly greater financial resources than we do. The People’s Republic of China government regulates the Internet industry extensively, including foreign investment and license and permit requirements. We may face more intense competition from our U.S. competitors as the regulatory environment in China evolves, online payment systems and Internet infrastructure in China mature, and our U.S. competitors increase their business activities in China.
Chinese Internet Companies. Chinese Internet portals such as Sina, Sohu and Netease offer a broad range of online services, including news, wireless value-added services, email, online shopping, chat rooms and community networks. Sina recently launched its self-developed search engine, “iAsk.” Each of our Chinese Internet portal competitors has generated significant traffic, a loyal user base and a large and broad customer base. These portals have widely recognized brand names in China and greater financial resources than we do. We compete with these portals primarily for user traffic and online advertising. We also face growing competition from other Internet search service providers such as Sougou, Yisou and Zhong Sou. In addition, we compete with B2B service providers such as Alibaba.
Traditional Advertising Media. Traditional advertising media, such as newspapers, yellow pages, magazines, billboards and other forms of outdoor media, television and radio, compete for a share of our customers’ marketing budgets. Large enterprises currently spend a relatively small percentage of their marketing budgets on online marketing as compared to the percentage they spend on traditional advertising media.
Web Search Technology
Our web search technology applies a combination of techniques to determine the importance of a web page independent of a particular search query and the relevance of that page to a particular search query.
Link Analysis Techniques. Link analysis is a technique that determines the relevance between a user query and a web page by evaluating the combination of the anchor texts and the number of web pages linked to that web page. We treat a link from web page A to web page B as a “vote” by page A in favor of page B. The subject of the “vote” is described in the anchor texts of that link. The more “votes” a web page gets, the higher the relevance. We compare search queries with the content of web pages to help determine relevance. Our text-based scoring techniques do more than count the number of times a search term appears on a web page. For example, our technology determines the proximity of individual search terms to each other on a given web page, and prioritizes results that have the search terms near each other. Other aspects of a page’s content are also considered. By combining link analysis with our information extraction techniques, we are able to deliver relevant search results.
34
Information Extraction Techniques. We extract information from a web page using high performance algorithms and information extraction techniques. Our techniques enable us to understand web page content, delete extraneous data, build link structures, identify duplicate and junk pages and decide whether to include or exclude a web page based on its quality. Our techniques can process millions of web pages quickly. In addition, our anti-spamming algorithms and tools can identify and respond to spamming web pages quickly and effectively.
Web Crawling Techniques. Our powerful computer clusters and intelligent scheduling algorithms allow us to crawl Chinese web pages efficiently. We can easily scale up our system to collect billions of Chinese web pages. Our spider technology enables us to refresh web indices at intervals ranging from every few minutes to every few weeks. We set the index refresh frequency rate based on our knowledge of Internet search users’ needs and the nature of the information. For example, our news index is typically updated every three to six minutes throughout the day given the importance of timely information for news. We also mine multimedia and other forms of files from web page repositories.
Chinese Language Processing Techniques. We analyze and understand Chinese web pages by processing word-segmentation and utilizing an encoding method based on Chinese language characteristics. For example, we can identify Chinese names on a web page. When a user searches for a person based on the person’s Chinese name, we can display the web pages that are specifically related to that person. We also mine user behavior and search interests from our large search query logs. We provide additional web search features such as advanced search, spell check and search by Chinese phonetics (Pinyin).
We maintain our computer system at our corporate headquarters. Our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect our systems against damage from fire, hurricanes, power loss, telecommunications failure, break-ins, computer viruses and other events beyond our control. In an effort of avoiding these disastrous situations, we maintain access to the Internet through third-party providers. Any disruption in our Internet access, failure of our third party providers to handle higher volumes of users or damage or failure that causes system disruptions or other significant interruptions in our operations could have an adverse effect on our business.
For reliability, availability, and serviceability, we have created an environment in which each server can function separately. Key components of our server architecture are served by multiple redundant machines. We also use in-house and third party monitoring software. Our reporting and tracking systems generate daily traffic, demographic and advertising reports. We deploy load balance equipment to avoid single point failure.
Our portal must accommodate a high volume of traffic and deliver frequently updated information. Components or features of our portal have in the past suffered outages or experienced slower response times because of equipment of software downtime. These events have not had a material affect on our business to date, but such events could have a material adverse effect in the future.
In the effort to temper the effects of other natural disasters, we have developed a close working relationship with our service providers. Our operations depend on their ability to protect their systems against damage from fire, hurricanes, power loss, telecommunications failure, break-ins and computer viruses. They provide us with support services twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week, and also provide connectivity for our servers through multiple high speed connections. Multiple power supplies protect all facilities. While this level of protection is not perfect, it does provide adequate assurances that our business will continue to operate smoothly under most circumstances.
Large-Scale Systems Technology
We currently use a combination of off-the-shelf and custom software running on clusters of low-cost computers. Our investment in our large-scale system infrastructure has several key benefits: simplification of the storage and processing of large amounts of data, facilitation of the deployment and operation of large-scale products and services, automation of much of the administration of large-scale clusters of computers. Moreover, this large infrastructure is easily scalable to increases in traffic and dataset volume.
35
Our large-scale system infrastructure uses distributed software and high performance parallel computing technologies to provide high-quality web search services and web page collection with low cost computer clusters on a Linux operating system. We also have management information systems that enable us to perform tasks such as service operations, administrations, trouble-shootings and filtering with relative ease and efficiency. In addition, we have software systems that can test new ideas with real search queries to evaluate the actual effects without affecting live services.
Our infrastructure significantly improves the relevance of our search and advertising results by allowing us to apply superior search and retrieval algorithms that are computationally intensive. We believe this infrastructure also shortens our product development cycle and allows us to innovate more cost-effectively. We also constantly evaluate new hardware alternatives and software techniques to help further reduce our computational costs.
Operations
We will maintain our computer system at our corporate headquarters. Our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect our systems against damage from fire, hurricanes, power loss, telecommunications failure, break-ins, computer viruses and other events beyond our control. We will maintain access to the Internet through third-party providers. Any disruption in our Internet access, failure of our third party providers to handle higher volumes of users or damage or failure that causes system disruptions or other significant interruptions in our operations could have an adverse effect on our business.
GOVERNMENT AND STATE REGULATION
Internet Law
The Chinese government has enacted an extensive regulatory scheme governing the operation of business with respect to the internet, such as telecommunucations, Internet information services, international connections to computer information networks, information security, censorship and administrative protection of copyright. Our website is currently in compliance with all government and state regulations applicable to access, content or commerce on the internet.
Specifically, the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) regulates online advertising, principally through the State Administration of Industry and Commerce (“SIAC”). Any entity that wishes to conduct advertising business in the PRC must first obtain approval from the SAIC or its local counterpart. We conduct our online advertising business through 188info.com, which holds an advertising operating license.
However, due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is possible that an additional number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet covering issues such as:
* | user privacy; |
* | freedom of expression; |
* | pricing; |
* | content and quality of products and services; |
* | taxation; |
* | advertising; |
* | intellectual property rights; and |
* | information security |
The adoption of any such laws or regulations might decrease the rate of growth of internet use, which in turn could decrease the demand for our services, increase the cost of doing business or in some other manner have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, obscenity and personal privacy is uncertain. The vast majority of such laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet and related technologies and, as a result, do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies.

Regulations on News Display
Displaying news on a website and disseminating news through the Internet are highly regulated in the People’s Republic of China. In November 2000, the State Council News Office and the Ministry of Information Industry promulgated the Provisional Measures for Administrating Internet Websites Carrying on the News Displaying Business. These measures require an Internet Communications Protocol operator (other than a government authorized news unit) to obtain State Council News Office approval to post news on its website or disseminate news through the Internet. Furthermore, the disseminated news must come from government-approved sources pursuant to contracts between the Internet Communications Protocol operator and these sources, copies of which must be filed with the relevant government authorities.
We provide our search users with links to other domestic websites that display news. According to our People’s Republic of China legal counsel, providing links to news stories in response to a search query does not constitute displaying news on a website or disseminating news through the Internet. Therefore, we are not required to obtain governmental approval for providing our search users with these news links.
Regulation on Internet Culture Activities
On May 10, 2003, the Ministry of Culture promulgated the Internet Culture Administration Tentative Measures, or the Internet Culture Measures. The Internet Culture Measures require Internet Communications Protocol operators engaging in “Internet culture activities” to obtain a license from the Ministry of Culture. The term “Internet culture activities” includes, among other things, online dissemination of Internet cultural products (such as audio-video products, gaming products, performances of plays or programs, works of art and cartoons) and the production, reproduction, importation, sale (wholesale or retail), leasing and broadcasting of Internet cultural products. The Internet Culture Measures do not state whether the measures apply to Internet search services that provide links to Internet cultural products, such as online audio-video products offered by third-party websites. According to our People’s Republic of China legal counsel, Internet search services that provide links to third-party websites do not currently constitute engaging in Internet culture activities under the Internet Culture Measures. We therefore believe that we do not need to obtain an Internet culture business operation license.
Regulation on Broadcasting Audio-Video Programs through the Internet
��
On January 7, 2003, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television promulgated the Rules for Administration of Broadcasting of Audio-Video Programs Through the Internet and Other Information Networks, or the Broadcasting Rules. The Broadcasting Rules regulate Internet broadcasting of audio-video programs. According to the Broadcasting Rules, anyone who wishes to engage in Internet broadcasting activities must first obtain a license.
On April 23, 2005, the State Council announced a policy regarding investment by non-state-owned companies in culture-related business in China. The policy restricts investment by non-state-owned companies in audio-video broadcasting business or website news business, whether the business is conducted via Internet or otherwise. The policy authorizes the Ministry of Culture, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the State Council News Office to adopt detailed implementation rules according to the policy. As we provide algorithm-generated links to third-party websites, we do not believe this policy would have direct adverse impact on our business and operations.
Regulations on Advertisements
The People’s Republic of China government regulates online advertising, principally through the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, or the SAIC. Under the Rules for Administration of Foreign Invested Advertising Enterprise, promulgated by the SAIC and Ministry of Commerce on March 2, 2004, and the Guidance Catalogue, foreign investors are currently permitted to own up to 70% of the equity interest, individually or collectively, in a People’s Republic of China advertising company. Starting December 10, 2005, there will be no limit on the percentage of foreign equity ownership.
37
Any entity that wishes to conduct advertising business in the People’s Republic of China must first obtain approval from the SAIC or its local counterpart. Although the People’s Republic of China laws or regulations at the national level do not specifically regulate online advertising businesses, certain provincial government authorities, such as the Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce, or Beijing AIC, regulate online advertising businesses. In March 2001, Beijing AIC promulgated the Online Advertising Tentative Administrative Measures, which require Internet Communications Protocol operators that provide online advertising services within the municipality of Beijing to obtain an advertising operations license.
Regulation on Software Products
On October 27, 2000, the Ministry of Information Industry issued the Administrative Measures on Software Products, or the Software Measures, to strengthen the regulation of software products and to encourage the development of the People’s Republic of China software industry. Under the Software Measures, a software developer must have all software products imported into or sold in the People’s Republic of China tested by a testing organization approved by the Ministry of Information Industry. The software products must be registered with the Ministry of Information Industry or with its provincial branch. The sale of unregistered software products in the People’s Republic of China is forbidden. Software products can be registered for five years, and the registration is renewable upon expiration.
Regulations on Intellectual Property Rights
China has adopted legislation governing intellectual property rights, including trademarks, patents and copyrights. China is a signatory to the main international conventions on intellectual property rights and became a member of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights upon its accession to the WTO in December 2001.
Patent. The National People’s Congress adopted the Patent Law in 1984, and amended it in 1992 and 2000. The purpose of the Patent Law is to protect and encourage invention, foster applications of invention and promote the development of science and technology. To be patentable, invention or utility models must meet three conditions: novelty, inventiveness and practical applicability. Patents cannot be granted for scientific discoveries, rules and methods for intellectual activities, methods used to diagnose or treat diseases, animal and plant breeds or substances obtained by means of nuclear transformation. The Patent Office under the State Council is responsible for receiving, examining and approving patent applications. A patent is valid for a term of twenty years in the case of an invention and a term of ten years in the case of utility models and designs. A third-party user must obtain consent or a proper license from the patent owner to use the patent. Otherwise, the use constitutes an infringement of patent rights.
Copyright. The National People’s Congress amended the Copyright Law in 2001 to widen the scope of works and rights that are eligible for copyright protection. The amended Copyright Law extends copyright protection to Internet activities, products disseminated over the Internet and software products. In addition, there is a voluntary registration system administered by the China Copyright Protection Center.
To address copyright issues relating to the Internet, the People’s Republic of China Supreme People’s Court on November 11, 2000 issued the Interpretations on Some Issues Concerning Applicable Laws for Trial of Disputes Over Internet Copyright, or the Interpretations, which were subsequently amended on December 23, 2003. The Interpretations establish joint liability for Internet Communications Protocol operators if they knowingly participate in, assist in or incite infringing activities or fail to remove infringing content from their websites after receiving notice from the rights holder. In addition, any act intended to bypass circumvention technologies designed to protect copyrights constitutes copyright infringement.
To address the problem of copyright infringement related to the content posted or transmitted over the Internet, the People’s Republic of China National Copyright Administration and the Ministry of Information Industry jointly
promulgated the Administrative Measures for Copyright Protection Related to the Internet on April 30, 2005. This measure became effective on May 30, 2005.
38
This measure applies to situations where an Internet Communications Protocol operator (i) allows another person to post or store any works, recordings, audio or video programs on the websites operated by such Internet Communications Protocol operator or (ii) provides links to, or search results for, the works, recordings, audio or video programs posted or transmitted by such person, without editing, revising or selecting the content of such material. Upon receipt of an infringement notice from a legitimate copyright holder, an Internet Communications Protocol operator must take remedial actions immediately by removing or disabling access to the infringing content. If an Internet Communications Protocol operator knowingly transmits infringing content or fails to take remedial actions after receipt of a notice of infringement, the Internet Communications Protocol operator could be subject to administrative penalties, including: cessation of infringement activities; confiscation by the authorities of all income derived from the infringement activities; and payment of a fine of up to three times the unlawful income or, in cases where the amount of unlawful income cannot be determined, a fine of up to RMB100,000. An Internet Communications Protocol operator is also required to retain all infringement notices for a minimum of six months and to record the content, display time and IP addresses or the domain names related to the infringement for a minimum of 60 days. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in an administrative warning and a fine of up to RMB30,000.
Under People’s Republic of China copyright laws, a copyright holder can sue Internet service providers for copyright infringement. For example, in 2004, a Chinese record company sued a Chinese Internet music content provider, alleging that the defendant enabled users to download certain MP3 music files without the plaintiff’s authorization. The Beijing Municipal Supreme People’s Court found the defendant liable for knowingly participating in infringing activities and fined the defendant RMB100,000 (US$12,082). On the other hand, in a 2001 case in which an author sued a Chinese Internet company for providing search links to a third-party website which displayed his book online without his authorization, the Haidian District People’s Court in Beijing held that the Internet company was not liable for providing algorithm-generated search links to the third-party website without knowledge of the website’s infringing activities. However, if an Internet search provider does not promptly remove links to the infringing content after receiving notices from the copyright holders, the Internet search provider can be held liable by a People’s Republic of China court. For example, in 2000, a copyright holder of a book brought a copyright infringement claim against another Chinese Internet company in the Beijing Intermediate People’s Court, alleging that the defendant provided search links to certain third-party websites that posted the plaintiff’s book without authorization and refused to remove such links to the infringing websites after the plaintiff requested the defendant to do so. The court found the defendant liable based primarily on the fact that it received notices of infringement from the plaintiff but did not timely remove the search links, and ordered the defendant to pay RMB3,000 (US$362.5) to the plaintiff as compensatory damage.
We do not host MP3 music files or movies on our servers. We provide algorithm-generated links to MP3 music files and provide index to movies located on third-party websites in response to our users’ search queries. We have adopted measures to mitigate copyright infringement risks. For example, our policy is to remove links to web pages if we know these web pages contain materials that infringe third-party rights or if we are notified by the legitimate copyright holder of the infringement.
Regulation of Information Security
The National People’s Congress has enacted legislation that prohibits use of the Internet that breaches the public security, disseminates socially destabilizing content or leaks state secrets. Breach of public security includes breach of national security and infringement on legal rights and interests of the state, society or citizens. Socially destabilizing content includes any content that incites defiance or violations of People’s Republic of China laws or subversion of the People’s Republic of China government or its political system, spreads socially disruptive rumors or involves cult activities, superstition, obscenities, pornography, gambling or violence. State secrets are defined broadly to include information concerning People’s Republic of China national defense, state affairs and other matters as determined by the People’s Republic of China authorities.
According to this legislation and other relevant regulations, Internet Communications Protocol operators must complete mandatory security filing procedures with local public security authorities and must also report any public dissemination of prohibited content.
39
Regulations on Internet Privacy
The People’s Republic of China Constitution states that People’s Republic of China laws protect the freedom and privacy of communications of citizens and prohibits infringement of such rights. In recent years, People’s Republic of China government authorities have enacted legislation on Internet use to protect personal information from any unauthorized disclosure. The Internet Measures prohibit an Internet Communications Protocol operator from insulting or slandering a third party or infringing upon the lawful rights and interests of a third party. Pursuant to the BBS Measures, Internet Communications Protocol operators that provide electronic messaging services must keep users’ personal information confidential and must not disclose such personal information to any third party without the users’ consent or unless required by law. The regulations further authorize the relevant telecommunications authorities to order Internet Communications Protocol operators to rectify unauthorized disclosure. Internet Communications Protocol operators are subject to legal liability if the unauthorized disclosure results in damages or losses to users. The People’s Republic of China government, however, has the power and authority to order Internet Communications Protocol operators to turn over personal information if an Internet user posts any prohibited content or engages in illegal activities on the Internet.
Regulations on Foreign Exchange
Foreign Currency Exchange
Pursuant to the Foreign Currency Administration Rules promulgated in 1996 and amended in 1997 and various regulations issued by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange and other relevant People’s Republic of China government authorities, RMB is freely convertible only to the extent of current account items, such as trade related receipts and payments, interest and dividends. Capital account items, such as direct equity investments, loans and repatriation of investment, require prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange or its provincial branch for conversion of RMB into a foreign currency, such as U.S. dollars, and remittance of the foreign currency outside the People’s Republic of China.
Payments for transactions that take place within the People’s Republic of China must be made in RMB. Unless otherwise approved, People’s Republic of China companies must repatriate foreign currency payments received from abroad. Foreign-invested enterprises may retain foreign exchange in accounts with designated foreign exchange banks subject to a cap set by State Administration of Foreign Exchange or its local counterpart. Unless otherwise approved, domestic enterprises must convert all of their foreign currency receipts into RMB.
EMPLOYEES

o | purchases by brokers, dealers or underwriters as principal and resale by such purchasers for their own accounts pursuant to this prospectus, |
o | “at the market” to or through market makers or into an existing market for the common stock, |
o | in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents, |

In addition, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers who may engage in short sales, if short sales were permitted, of shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery by such broker-dealers of the shares, which shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this prospectus.
Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the shares may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions). The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers acting in connection with the sale of the shares hereunder may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, and any commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on the resale of shares as principals may be deemed underwriting compensation under the Securities Act of 1933. Neither the selling stockholders nor we can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling stockholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of the selling security holders pursuant to this prospectus. We have agreed to bear the expenses of the registration of the shares, including legal and accounting fees, and such expenses are estimated to be approximately $28,500.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
We currently use space at Baimang Checking Station 1st Building South Mountain Xili Town, Shenzhen. We occupy such space for no charge from Li Te Xiao, our director and Chief Executive Officer. We do not have a written agreement with Mr. Xiao for the occupation of such space.
Throughout our history, our Board of Directors and stockholders have made loans to us to cover operating expenses or operating deficiencies. We have loaned money to relatives and associates of our major stockholder, Top Interest International Limited. These amounts do not bear interest and are not collateralized.
As of December 31, 2004, we had a loan receivable from our subsidiary and majority shareholder, Top Interest International Limited, in the amount of $242.
On December 20, 2004, China US Bridge Capital Ltd. purchased 100,000 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock from Scott Raleigh, our sole officer, director and shareholder at such time. The total of 100,000 shares represented all of our outstanding common stock. China US Bridge Capital Ltd. paid a total of $36,000 to Scott Raleigh for his shares. As part of the transaction, Scott Raleigh resigned as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary effective December 20, 2004. Li Te Xiao was appointed as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary as of December 20, 2004. Further, Li Te Xiao was appointed as the sole member of our Board of Directors. Scott Raleigh then resigned as a member of our board of directors.
46
Although we have no present intention to do so, we may, in the future, enter into other transactions and agreements relating to our business with our directors, officers, principal stockholders and other affiliates. We intend for all such transactions and agreements to be on terms no less favorable to us than those obtainable from unaffiliated third parties on an arm’s-length basis. In addition, the approval of a majority of our disinterested directors will be required for any such transactions or agreements.
We have no plans to issue any additional securities to management, promoters, affiliates or associates at the present time. If our Board of Directors adopts an employee stock option or pension plan, we may issue additional shares according to the terms of this plan. Although we have a very large amount of authorized but un-issued common stock, we intend to reserve this stock to implement continued expansion of the business.
We have no present intention of acquiring any assets by any promoter, management or their affiliates or associates.
There are no arrangements or agreements between non-management shareholders and management under which non-management shareholders may directly or indirectly participate in or influence our affairs. In the future, we will present all possible transactions between us and our officers, directors or 5% stockholders, and our affiliates to the Board of Directors for its consideration and approval. Any such transaction will require approval by a majority of the disinterested directors and such transactions will be on terms no less favorable than those available to disinterested third parties.

Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws do not provide for cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the Board out of funds legally available therefore. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in the assets remaining after payment of liabilities. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, conversion or redemption rights.
Liquidation Rights.
Upon our liquidation or dissolution, each outstanding Common Share will be entitled to share equally in our assets legally available for distribution to shareholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities.

We have not paid dividends to date, and we do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.
47
Voting Rights.
Holders of our Common Shares are entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record at all shareholders meetings for all purposes.

We do not have any outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, our shares of common stock.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
We engaged Kabani & Company, Inc. of Los Angeles, California, as our new independent auditors as of January 4, 2006. Prior to such date, we did not consult with Kabani & Company, Inc. regarding (i) the application of accounting principles, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered by Kabani & Company, Inc. or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement between us and our former auditor as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
On January 4, our board of directors approved the dismissal of Webb & Company, P.A. (“Webb & Company”) as our independent auditor.
We have not had any disagreements with Webb & Company related to any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure. For the year ended May 31, 2005 and through Webb & Company’s termination on January 4, 2006, there has been no disagreement between us and Webb & Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Webb & Company would have caused us to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.
Our Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to change independent accountants. Webb & Company’s audit of our financial statements on Form 10-KSB for the year ending May 31, 2005 contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Except as noted in the previous sentence, the reports of Webb & Company, P.A. contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles.
In connection with its review of financial statements through August 31, 2005, there have been no disagreements with Webb & Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Webb & Company would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements.
During the most recent review period and the interim period subsequent to January 4, 2006, there have been no reportable events with us as set forth in Item 304(a)(i)(v) of Regulation S-K.
We requested that Webb & Company furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter is filed as an Exhibit to this document.
CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR END
On January 4, 2006, we elected to change our fiscal year end to December 31st based on the fiscal year end of our operating subsidiary. Based upon same, our next periodic filing will be our December 31, 2005 Form 10-KSB.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note A – ORGANIZATION
Artcraft V, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 7, 2004. On November 7, 2005, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Top Interest International Limited (“Top Interest”). Top Interest owns 70% equity interest of Shenzhen Xin Kai Yuen Info Consult Co., Ltd. (“188.com”) which operates 188info.com, a professional information searching platform that is engaged in the business of providing information search engine, online web application and image designing, digital network service, online market research, online promotion and advertising services, and query searches for both individuals and businesses. Top Interest was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. 188.com was legally established under the laws of the People’s Republic of China. When used in these notes, the terms “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us” mean Artcraft V, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Top Interest from the shareholders for issuance of a total of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or approximately 99% of the total issued and outstanding shares. This transaction closed on November 7, 2005 and has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition.
Note B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Artcraft V, Inc., pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B, and generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The results of the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2006.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Artcraft V, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Top Interest International and majority owned subsidiary Shenzhen Xin Kai Yuen Info Consult Co., Ltd., collectively referred to within as the Company. All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectibility is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.

ARTCRAFT V, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Exchange Gain (Loss)
During the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, the transactions of 188.com were denominated in foreign currency and were recorded in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY) at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange gains and losses are recognized for the different foreign exchange rates applied when the foreign currency assets and liabilities are settled.

Note B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Translation Adjustment
As of June 30, 2006, the accounts of 188.com were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY). Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (USD) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounts Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” with the CNY as the functional currency. According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate, stockholder’s equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” as a component of shareholders’ equity.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Property & Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized, and minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the remaining term of the lease, as follows:
Furniture and Fixtures | 5 years |
Equipment | 5 years |
Computer Hardware and Software | 5 years |
Depreciation expenses were $2,977 and $686 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Advertising
Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion for corporate image and product marketing and costs of direct advertising. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred.

Note B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the 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, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share |
Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share”. SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net loss per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net 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 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.
Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations is based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Segment Reporting
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (“SFAS 131”), “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. SFAS 131 has no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company consists of one reportable business segment.

Intangible assets
The Company applies the criteria specified in SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” to determine whether an intangible asset should be recognized separately from goodwill. Intangible assets acquired through business acquisitions are recognized as assets separate from goodwill if they satisfy either the “contractual-legal” or “separability” criterion. Per SFAS 142, intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets.” Intangible assets, such as purchased technology, trademark, customer list, user base and non-compete agreements, arising from the acquisitions of subsidiaries and variable interest entities are recognized and measured at fair value upon acquisition. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives from one to ten years. The Company reviews the amortization methods and estimated useful lives of intangible assets at least annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The recoverability of an intangible asset to be held and used is evaluated by comparing the carrying amount of the intangible asset to its future net undiscounted cash flows. If the intangible asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset, calculated using a discounted future cash flow analysis. The Company uses estimates and judgments in its impairment tests, and if different estimates or judgments had been utilized, the timing or the amount of the impairment charges could be different.
Long-Lived Assets
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business.” The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of June 30, 2006 there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless this would be impracticable. This statement also makes a distinction between “retrospective application” of an accounting principle and the “restatement” of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and SFAF No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. SFAS No. 155, permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interest in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on the qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.
In March 2006 FASB issued SFAS 156 ‘Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets’ this Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement:
1. | Requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. |
2. | Requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. |
3. | Permits an entity to choose ‘Amortization method’ or Fair value measurement method’ for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities: |
4. | At its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value. |
5. | Requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. |
This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management believes that this statement will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

When property and equipment are 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 and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives of:
Furniture and Fixtures | 5 years |
Automobile | 5 years |
Computer Hardware and Software | 5 years |
As of December 31, 2005 Property, Plant & Equipment consist of the following:

Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of software for information search engine and, online web application. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and, goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.

Long-Lived Assets
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business.” The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of December 31, 2005 there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of financial accounting standard No. 107, Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. Revenue from marketing services through world wide web is recognized when services are rendered. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Stock-Based Compensation
In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. SFAS No. 123 prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. SFAS No. 123 requires compensation expense to be recorded (i) using the new fair value method or (ii) using the existing accounting rules prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for stock issued to employees” (APB 25) and related interpretations with proforma disclosure of what net income and earnings per share would have been had the Company adopted the new fair value method. The Company uses the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25 and has opted for the disclosure provisions of SFAS No.123. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the company did not grant or issue any option or warrant.
Advertising
Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion for corporate image and product marketing and costs of direct advertising. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. The company did not incur any advertising expense during the year ended December 31, 2005.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the 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, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share”. SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net loss per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net 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 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.
Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations is based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
Segment Reporting
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (“SFAS 131”), “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. SFAS 131 has no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company consists of one reportable business segment. All revenue is from customers in People’s Republic of China. All of the Company’s assets are located in People’s Republic of China.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections." This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless this would be impracticable. This statement also makes a distinction between "retrospective application" of an accounting principle and the "restatement" of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and SFAF No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. SFAS No. 155, permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interest in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on the qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.

In March 2006 FASB issued SFAS 156 ‘Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets’ this Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement:
1. | Requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. |
2. | Requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. |
3. | Permits an entity to choose ‘Amortization method’ or ‘Fair value measurement method’ for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. |
4. | At its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value. |
5. | Requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. |
This Statement is effective as of the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of the standard on the financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("FAS No. 123R"). FAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant- date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. FAS No. 123R is effective beginning in the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2006.
In June 2005, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 05-6, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements ("EITF 05-6.") EITF 05-6 provides guidance on determining the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or acquired subsequent to lease inception. The guidance in EITF 05-6 will be applied prospectively and is effective for periods beginning after June 29, 2005. EITF 05-6 is not expected to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

On November 7, 2005, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock at par of $0.001 per share for purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Top Interest from its shareholders.
Note 6 - STOCK EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
On November 7, 2005, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Top Interest, a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Top Interest owns 70% of equity interest of 188.com which is incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China, and is engaged in the business of providing information search engine, online web application and image designing, digital network service, online market research, online promotion and advertising services, and query searches for both individuals and businesses.

Operations in the United States of America have incurred net accumulated operating losses for income tax purposes. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that these net accumulated operating losses will not be utilized in the future and hence the Company has not recorded any deferred assets as of December 31, 2005.

Note 8 – STATUTORY RESERVE
In accordance with the laws and regulations of the PRC, after the payment of the PRC income taxes shall be allocated to the statutory surplus reserves and statutory public welfare fund for staff and workers. The proportion of allocation for reserve is 5 to 10 percent of the profit after tax until the accumulated amount of allocation for statutory reserve reaches 50 percent of the registered capital. Statutory surplus reserves are to be utilized to offset prior years’ losses, or to increase its share capital.
General reserve fund and statutory surplus fund are restricted for set off against losses, expansion of production and operation or increase in register capital of the respective company. Statutory public welfare fund is restricted to the capital expenditures for the collective welfare of employees. These reserves are not transferable to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. These reserves are therefore not available for distribution except in liquidation. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had no reserves to these non-distributable reserve funds since it had no income from operations.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss, included in stockholders’ equity, at December 31, 2005 represents loss on translation of foreign currency financial statements of $38.
Note 10 – CURRENT VULNERABILITY DUE TO RISK FACTORS
Two customers accounted for 12.9% and 10.17% sales of the Company. There were no receivables due from them as of December 31, 2005.
The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Note 11 – GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company sustained a loss during 2005 and 2004. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. Management devoted considerable effort from inception through the year ended December 31, 2005, towards obtaining additional equity and management of accrued expenses and accounts payable.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
Note A – ORGANIZATION
Top Interest International Limited was legally formed in the British Virgin Islands. Shenzhen Xin Kai Yuan Consulting Co., Limited, was legally established on February 24, 2004 under the laws of the Peoples’ Republic of China. When used in these notes, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” mean Top Interest International Limited and its majority owned subsidiary Shenzhen Xin Kai Yuan Consulting Co., Limited .
Note B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unaudited Interim Financial Information –These financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the statement of financial position, operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2005, or any future period, due to seasonal and other factors. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies have been omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2004 audited financial statements and accompanying notes.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from marketing fees from customers are recognized when service is provided to the customers based on the terms of the sale, and is recorded net of returns, discounts and allowances.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
Note B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include collectibility of accounts receivable, accounts payable, sales returns and recoverability of long-term assets.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We have made an allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables based on a combination of write-off history, aging analysis, and any specific known troubled accounts.
Fixed Assets
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized, and minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the remaining term of the lease, as follows:
Furniture and Fixtures | 5 years |
Automobile | 5 years |
Computer Hardware and Software | 5 years |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable (trade and related party), notes receivable and accounts payable (trade and related party), and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The amounts owed for long-term debt and revolving credit facility also approximate fair value because interest rates and terms offered to the Company are at current market rates.
Exchange Gain (Loss):
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the transactions of the Company were denominated in foreign currency and were recorded in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY) at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange gains and losses are recognized for the different foreign exchange rates applied when the foreign currency assets and liabilities are settled.

Note B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Translation Adjustment
As of September 30, 2005, the transactions of the Company and its financial statements were expressed, in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY). Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (USD) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounts Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” with the CNY as the functional currency. According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate, stockholders’ equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.”
As of September 30, 2005 the exchange rates between CNY and the USD was CNY$1=USD$0.1237. The weight-average rate of exchange between CNY and USD was CNY$1 = USD$0.12142. Total translation adjustment recognized for the period ended September 30, 2005 is $3,731.
Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations is based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base, most of which are in China. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed in the year incurred.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
Note B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
Earnings Per Share
The Company uses SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include common stock equivalents, if any, as if the potential common shares had been issued.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FABB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN46”). This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, requires companies to consolidate the operations of all variable interest entities (“VIE’s”) for which they are the primary beneficiary. The term “primary beneficiary” is defined as the entity that will absorb a majority of expected losses, receive a majority of the expected residual returns, or both. This interpretation was later revised by the issuance of Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”). The revision was issued to address certain implementation issues that had arisen since the issuance of the original interpretation and to provide companies with the ability to defer the adoption of FIN46 to period after March 15, 2004. The implementation of FIN No. 46 and FIN 46R, had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In September 2004, the EITF Issue No. 04-08, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share.” (“EITF 04-08”) was issued stating that contingently convertible debt should be included in diluted earnings per share computations regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. EITF 04-08 is effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. The adopted EITF 04-08 will have no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), ‘‘Share-Based Payment’’ (‘‘SFAS 123R’’), which replaces SFAS No. 123, ‘‘Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation’’ (‘‘SFAS 123’’) and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, ‘‘Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.’’ SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values, beginning with the first interim or annual period after June 15, 2005. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule that amends the compliance date of SFAS 123R, requiring the Company to adopt SFAS 123R in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The new rule does not change the accounting required by SFAS 123R, it only changes the date for compliance. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. Under SFAS 123R, The Company must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The transition methods include prospective and retroactive adoption options. Under the retroactive options, prior periods may be restated either as of the beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods presented. The prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS 123R, while the retroactive methods would record compensation expense for all unvested stock options and restricted stock beginning with the first period restated. The Company is evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123, and it expects that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2005, FASB issued FASB Statement 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“FAS 154”). FAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. The provisions of FAS 154 require, unless impracticable, retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of (1) all voluntary changes in accounting principles and (2) changes required by a new accounting pronouncement, if a specific transition is not provided. FAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate, which requires prospective application of the new method. FAS 154 is effective for all accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
Note C - CASH
The Company maintains its cash balances at various banks in China and. As of September 30, 2005 there were no uninsured portions of the balances held at these banks.

Note A – ORGANIZATION
Top Interest International Limited was legally established in the British Virgin Islands. Shenzhen Xin Kai Yuan Consulting Co., Limited, was legally established on February 24, 2004 under the laws of the Peoples' Republic of China. When used in these notes, the terms "Company," "we," "our," or "us" mean Top Interest International Limited and its majority owned subsidiary Shenzhen Xin Kai Yuan Consulting Co., Limited .
Note B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from marketing fees from customers are recognized when service is provided to the customers based on the terms of the sale, and is recorded net of returns, discounts and allowances.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

Note B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include collectibility of accounts receivable, accounts payable, sales returns and recoverability of long-term assets.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We have made an allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables based on a combination of write-off history, aging analysis, and any specific known troubled accounts.
Fixed Assets
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized, and minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or the remaining term of the lease, as follows:
Furniture and Fixtures | 5 years |
Equipment | 5 years |
Computer Hardware and Software | 5 years |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable (trade and related party), notes receivable and accounts payable (trade and related party), and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The amounts owed for long-term debt and revolving credit facility also approximate fair value because interest rates and terms offered to the Company are at current market rates.
Exchange Gain (Loss):
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the transactions of the Company were denominated in foreign currency and were recorded in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY) at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange gains and losses are recognized for the different foreign exchange rates applied when the foreign currency assets and liabilities are settled.

Translation Adjustment
As of December 31, 2004, the transactions of the Company and its financial statements were expressed in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY). Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (USD) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounts Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” with the CNY as the functional currency. According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate, stockholders’ equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.”
As of December 31, 2004 the exchange rates between CNY and the USD was CNY$1=USD$0.1210. The weight-average rate of exchange between CNY and USD was CNY$1 = USD$0.1210.
Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations is based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base, most of which are in China. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed in the year incurred.

Note B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
Earnings Per Share
The Company uses SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include common stock equivalents, if any, as if the potential common shares had been issued.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FABB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN46”). This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, requires companies to consolidate the operations of all variable interest entities (“VIE’s”) for which they are the primary beneficiary. The term “primary beneficiary” is defined as the entity that will absorb a majority of expected losses, receive a majority of the expected residual returns, or both. This interpretation was later revised by the issuance of Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”). The revision was issued to address certain implementation issues that had arisen since the issuance of the original interpretation and to provide companies with the ability to defer the adoption of FIN46 to period after March 15, 2004. The implementation of FIN No. 46 and FIN 46R, had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In September 2004, the EITF Issue No. 04-08, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share.” (“EITF 04-08”) was issued stating that contingently convertible debt should be included in diluted earnings per share computations regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. EITF 04-08 is effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. The adopted EITF 04-08 will have no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), ‘‘Share-Based Payment’’ (‘‘SFAS 123R’’), which replaces SFAS No. 123, ‘‘Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation’’ (‘‘SFAS 123’’) and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, ‘‘Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.’’ SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values, beginning with the first interim or annual period after June 15, 2005. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule that amends the compliance date of SFAS 123R, requiring the Company to adopt SFAS 123R in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The new rule does not change the accounting required by SFAS 123R, it only changes the date for compliance. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted under SFAS 123 no longer will be an alternative to financial statement recognition. Under SFAS 123R, The Company must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at date of adoption. The transition methods include prospective and retroactive adoption options. Under the retroactive options, prior periods may be restated either as of the beginning of the year of adoption or for all periods presented. The prospective method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock at the beginning of the first quarter of adoption of SFAS 123R, while the retroactive methods would record compensation expense for all unvested stock options and restricted stock beginning with the first period restated. The Company is evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123, and it expects that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2005, FASB issued FASB Statement 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“FAS 154”). FAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. The provisions of FAS 154 require, unless impracticable, retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of (1) all voluntary changes in accounting principles and (2) changes required by a new accounting pronouncement, if a specific transition is not provided. FAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate, which requires prospective application of the new method. FAS 154 is effective for all accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a corporation in its original certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders for violations of the director’s fiduciary duty, except:
o | for any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, |
o | for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, |
o | pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions), or |
o | for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. |
Our certificate of incorporation provides in effect for the elimination of the liability of directors to the extent permitted by the DGCL.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides, in summary, that directors and officers of Delaware corporations are entitled, under certain circumstances, to be indemnified against all expenses and liabilities (including attorney’s fees) incurred by them as a result of suits brought against them in their capacity as a director or officer, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful; provided, that no indemnification may be made against expenses in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which they shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, they are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper. Any such indemnification may be made by the corporation only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination by the stockholders or disinterested directors that indemnification is proper because the indemnity has met the applicable standard of conduct. Our bylaws entitle our officers and directors to indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question 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.

Item 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
On June 7, 2004, we issued 100,000 shares of our restricted common stock to Scott Raleigh for cash consideration of $100. The issuance was valued at $.001 per share or $100. Our shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. No commissions were paid for the issuance of such shares. All of the above issuances of shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance of such shares by us did not involve a public offering. Mr. Raleigh was a sophisticated investor and had access to information normally provided in a prospectus regarding us. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, Mr. Raleigh had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received a share certificate bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. No general advertising or public solicitation occurred during this issuance. These restrictions ensure that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for the above transaction.
In May 2005, we completed a Regulation D, Rule 506 Offering in which we issued a total of 150,000 shares of our common stock to a total of 48 investors at a price per share of $.49 for an aggregate offering price of $60,000.
The Common Stock issued in our Regulation D, Rule 506 Offering was issued in a transaction not involving a public offering in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. In accordance with Section 230.506 (b)(1)of the Securities Act of 1933, these shares qualified for exemption under the Rule 506 exemption for this offerings since it met the following requirements set forth in Reg. ss.230.506:
(A) | | No general solicitation or advertising was conducted by us in connection with the offering of any of the Shares. |
| | |
(B) | | Each investor received a copy of our private placement memorandum and completed a questionnaire to confirm that they were either "accredited" or "sophisticated" investors as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D. Of the 48 subscribers, 48 were "accredited investors." Each sophisticated investor completed a questionnaire confirming that such investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he/she is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment. |
| | |
(C) | | Our management was available to answer any questions by prospective purchasers; |
| | |
(D) | | Shares issued in connection with in this offering were restricted under Rule 4(2) and certificates indicating ownership of such shares bore the appropriate legend. |
II-2
Please note that pursuant to Rule 506, all shares purchased in the Regulation D Rule 506 offering completed in May 2005 were restricted in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.
On November 7, 2005, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement between us and Top Interest International Limited, we issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock to Top Interest in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Top Interest. These shares were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
These shares of our common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance of shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, the size of the offering, and the manner of the offering. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, the Top Interest had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since the Top Interest shareholders agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market, and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction.
We have never utilized an underwriter for an offering of our securities. Other than the securities mentioned above, we have not issued or sold any securities.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission 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 us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
