The Board of Directors has determined that George Zhou, Marco Kung, Yingshou Huang and Dorothy Dong are independent under Section 803 of NYSE Amex Company Guide.
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
One person currently holds the positions of principal executive officer and chairman of the Board of Company. The Board does not have a policy on whether or not the roles of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman should be separate. Instead, the Company’s By-Laws provide that the directors may designate a Chairman of the Board from among any of the directors. Accordingly, the Board reserves the right to vest the responsibilities of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman in the same person or in two different individuals depending on what it believes is in the best interest of the Company. The Board has determined that the consolidation of these roles is appropriate because it allows Mr. Cheng to bring a wider perspective to the deliberations of the Board on matters of corporate strategy and policy. The Board believes that there is no single Board leadership structure that would be most effective in all circumstances and therefore retains the authority to modify this structure to best address the Company’s and the Board’s then current circumstances as and when appropriate.
4
The Company’s management is responsible for identifying, assessing and managing the material risks facing the business. The Board and, in particular, the Audit Committee are responsible for overseeing the Company’s processes for assessing and managing risk. Each of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with input as appropriate from other appropriate management members, report and provide relevant information directly to either the Board and/or the Audit Committee on various types of identified material financial, reputational, legal, operational, environmental and business risks to which the Company is or may be subject, as well as mitigation strategies for certain salient risks. In accordance with NYSE Amex requirements and as set forth in its charter, the Audit Committee periodically reviews and discusses the Company’s business and financial risk management and risk assessment policies and procedures with senior management, the Company’s independent auditor. The Audit Committee reports its risk assessment function to the Board. The roles of the Board and the Audit Committee in the risk oversight process have not affected the Board leadership structure. Although the board has not formally designated a lead independent director, Mr. Kung, the chairman of the audit committee, has led the executive session of the independent directors.
The Board of Directors held three meetings during 2009. During 2009, no director attended fewer than 75% of the meetings of the Board of Directors and Board committees of which the director was a member.
It is the policy of the Board of Directors that all directors should attend the annual meeting of stockholders in person or by teleconference. Last year the Company did not hold an annual meeting as its special meeting of stockholders held to approve its business combination included a proposal providing for the election of directors.
The Board has adopted a code of ethics applicable to Company’s directors, officers, and employees. The code of ethics is available at Company’s website, www.gstv.cc.
Board Committees
The Board of Directors has standing audit, compensation, and nominating committees, comprised solely of independent directors. Each committee has a charter, which is available at Company’s website, www.gstv.cc.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee, which is established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, engages Company’s independent accountants, reviewing their independence and performance; reviews Company’s financial disclosure, financial statements, and accounting principles, policies, and practices, scope and results of the annual audit, and internal audit and risk management processes and effectiveness of Company’s internal control over financial reporting; reviews related party transactions; and maintains procedures for receipt and handling of reports regarding accounting or financial irregularities. The Audit Committee held one meeting during 2009.
The members of the Audit Committee are Marco Kung, Chair, George Zhou and Yingshou Huang. The Board has determined that Marco Kung is an audit committee financial expert, as defined in SEC rules.

The Committee applies the following criteria in considering director candidates:

· | Communication Skills. The candidate’s communications skills; willingness to voice his or her own views; ability to listen to views of others dispassionately; and ability to express and bring to bear his or her expertise regarding Company matters. |
· | Professional Status. The candidate’s record as a business manager and reputation for integrity; whether the candidate has the respect of his or her business and community peers; whether the candidate’s Board membership would enhance Company’s reputation. |
· | Diversity. The Board wishes to establish a complement of directors with substantial skill and experience in the following areas: |

· | capital markets; |
· | corporate governance; |
· | executive compensation; |
· | international business; |
· | operations management; |
· | marketing, advertising, or promotion; and |
· risk management.

ITEM 11 Executive Compensation
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The Company’s executive compensation program for the named executive officers (NEOs) is administered by the Board of Directors.
Background and Compensation Philosophy
The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors has not adopted or established a formal policy or procedure for determining the amount of compensation paid to our executive officers. No pre-established, objective performance goals or metrics have been used by the Compensation Committee in determining the compensation of our executive officers.
Elements of Compensation
Some of our executive officers receive a base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the year. Our policy of compensating our certain executives with a cash salary has served the Company well. Because of our history of attracting and retaining executive talent, we do not believe it is necessary at this time to provide our executives discretionary bonuses, equity incentives, or other benefits for the Company to continue to be successful.
Base Salary and Bonus. The value of base salary and bonus for each our executive reflects his or her skill set and the market value of that skill set in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.
Equity Incentives. The Company and its subsidiaries have not established an equity based incentive program and have not granted stock based awards as a component of compensation. In the future, we may adopt and establish an equity incentive plan pursuant to which awards may be granted if our Board of Directors determines that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to do so.
Retirement Benefits. Our executive officers are not presently entitled to company-sponsored retirement benefits.
Perquisites. We have not provided our executive officers with any material perquisites and other personal benefits and, therefore, we do not view perquisites as a significant or necessary element of our executive’s compensation.
Deferred Compensation. We do not provide our executives the opportunity to defer receipt of annual compensation.

(1) Audit Fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company’s consolidated annual financial statements and review of the interim consolidated financial statements included in quarterly reports and services that are normally provided by our auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
Pre-Approval of Services
In accordance with the SEC’s auditor independence rules, the Audit Committee has established the following policies and procedures by which it approves in advance any audit or permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Company by its independent auditor.
Prior to the engagement of the independent auditor for any fiscal year’s audit, management submits to the Audit Committee for approval lists of recurring audit, audit-related, tax and other services expected to be provided by the auditor during that fiscal year. The Audit Committee adopts pre-approval schedules describing the recurring services that it has pre-approved, and is informed on a timely basis, and in any event by the next scheduled meeting, of any such services rendered by the independent auditor and the related fees.
The fees for any services listed in a pre-approval schedule are budgeted, and the Audit Committee requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year. The Audit Committee will require additional pre-approval if circumstances arise where it becomes necessary to engage the independent auditor for additional services above the amount of fees originally pre-approved. Any audit or non-audit service not listed in a pre-approval schedule must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee on a case-by-case basis. Every request to adopt or amend a pre-approval schedule or to provide services that are not listed in a pre-approval schedule must include a statement by the independent auditors as to whether, in their view, the request is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
The Audit Committee will not grant approval for:
· | any services prohibited by applicable law or by any rule or regulation of the SEC or other regulatory body applicable to the Company; |
15
· | provision by the independent auditor to the Company of strategic consulting services of the type typically provided by management consulting firms; or |
· | the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the tax treatment of which may not be clear under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations and which it is reasonable to conclude will be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the Company’s financial statements. |
Tax services proposed to be provided by the auditor to any director, officer or employee of the Company who is in an accounting role or financial reporting oversight role must be approved by the Audit Committee on a case-by-case basis where such services are to be paid for by the Company, and the Audit Committee will be informed of any services to be provided to such individuals that are not to be paid for by the Company.
In determining whether to grant pre-approval of any non-audit services in the “all other” category, the Audit Committee will consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including the following four basic guidelines:
· | whether the service creates a mutual or conflicting interest between the auditor and the Company; |
· | whether the service places the auditor in the position of auditing his or her own work; |
· | whether the service results in the auditor acting as management or an employee of the Company; and |
· | whether the service places the auditor in a position of being an advocate for the Company. |
