Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(U.S Dollars unless otherwise noted)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
China Network Media Inc. (formerly known as Metha Energy Solutions Inc.) was incorporated on April 18, 2008 under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Science & Technology World Website Media Holding Co., Ltd. (“Science & Technology Holding”) was organized under the laws of the British Virgin Island on February 15, 2011.
Science & Technology World Website Media Group Co., Ltd. (“Science & Technology Media”) was organized under the laws of the British Virgin Island on February 15, 2011 to serve as a holding company for the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") operations. On September 16, 2011, Science & Technology Media established Science & Technology World Website Hong Kong Media Holding Co., Ltd. (“HK Science & Technology”) in Hong Kong to serve as an intermediate holding company.
On January 20, 2012, HK Science and Technology established Science& Technology World Website Trade (Dalian) Co., Ltd (the “WFOE” or “Science & Technology Trading”) in the PRC. Its purposes are, among others, a platform for online B2B service.
HK Science and Technology and the WFOE are considered foreign investor and foreign invested enterprise respectively under PRC law. As a result, HK Science & Technology and the WFOE are subject to limitations under PRC law on foreign ownership of Chinese companies. According to the Catalogue of Industries for Guiding Foreign Investment (2011 Revision) (the “Catalogue”), there are four kinds of industries which are encouraged, permitted, restricted and prohibited for foreign investment. The primary business of Dalian Tianyi Culture Development Co., Ltd (“Dalian Tianyi”) and Science & Technology World Network (Dalian) Co., Ltd (“Science & Technology (Dalian)”) are within the category in which foreign investment is currently restricted.
On January 21, 2012, the WFOE respectively entered into a series of agreements with Dalian Tianyi, Science & Technology (Dalian) and their respective shareholders (“Contractual Arrangements”). The relationship with Dalian Tianyi, Science & Technology (Dalian) and their respective shareholders are governed by the Contractual Arrangements. The Contractual Arrangements are comprised of a series of agreements, including Exclusive Technical Consulting Service Agreements and Operating Agreements, through which WFOE has the right to advise, consult, manage and operate Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian), and collect 85% of their respective net profits. The shareholders of Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) have granted WFOE, under the Exclusive Equity Interest Purchase Agreement, the exclusive right and option to acquire all of their equity interests respectively in Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian). Furthermore, the shareholders of Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) are under the procedure of pledging all of their equity interests respectively in Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) to WFOE under the Exclusive Equity Interest Pledge Agreement, and through the Exclusive Equity Interest Pledge Agreement, WFOE can collect the remaining 15% of Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian)’s respective net profits.
According to the Power of Attorney executed by the shareholders of Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian), they exclusively authorized WFOE to perform and exercise any and all of the shareholder’s rights in Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian).
As a result of the Contractual Arrangements, under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, Science & Technology Media is considered the primary beneficiary of Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) (“VIEs”).

The acquisition was accounted for as a “reverse merger,” and Science & Technology Media was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the reverse merger. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that would be reflected in the financial statements prior to the acquisition would be those of Science &Technology Media and its wholly owned subsidiaries and VIEs, and would be recorded at the historical cost, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the acquisition would include the assets, liabilities and operation of China Network Media Inc., Science & Technology Media and its wholly owned subsidiaries and VIEs from the closing date of the acquisition.

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company currently has limited revenue and has accumulated deficit of $917,905 and $1,023,818 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and net income of $128,489 and $544,291 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, the company had a negative cash flow from operating activities for nine months ended September 30, 2016. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to fund continuing operations through new financing from related parties and equity financing arrangements. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required until 2017 when it can generate sources of recurring revenues and to ultimately attain profitability. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, loans from shareholders, as well as the cash flows generated from our operations.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $73,410. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately$482,421. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits in banks with maturities of three months or less, and all highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.
The Company believes that receivables due from related parties will be collected in near future. Therefore, the cash and cash equivalents combined with proceeds that it expects to generate from operating activities and receivables collected from related parties are sufficient to meet anticipated working capital needs, commitments and capital expenditures over the next twelve months. It may, however, require additional cash resources due to changes in business conditions and other future developments, or changes in general economic conditions.
NOTE 3. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
To satisfy PRC laws and regulations, the Company conducts certain business in the PRC through its VIEs.
The significant terms of the VIE Agreements are summarized below:
Exclusive Technical Consulting Service Agreement: During the term of this Agreement, Science & Technology Trading shall provide the following technical consulting services to Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) in accordance with this Agreement: (i) Provision of advanced management skills to offer a framework for the construction of a new management platform; (ii) Provision of technology information and materials related to Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian)’s business development and operation. The content of the technology information and documents may be enhanced or diminished during the performance of this Agreement and upon mutual agreement to address each Party’s requirements; and (iii) Training of technical and managerial personnel for Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) and provision of required training documents. Science & Technology Trading will send technologists and managerial personnel to Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) to provide related technology and training services as necessary. Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) hereby agrees to accept the technical consulting services provided by Science & Technology Trading. Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) further agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, it shall not accept technical consulting and services from any other party without the prior written consent of Science & Technology Trading. Science & Technology Trading shall be the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interests to any and all intellectual property rights arising from the performance of this Agreement, including but not limited to, copyrights, patent, know-how and commercial secrets, whether such intellectual property is developed by Science & Technology Trading or Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian).
Exclusive Equity Interest Purchase Agreement: Under the Exclusive Option Agreements entered into by and among Science & Technology Trading, each of the PRC Shareholders irrevocably granted to Science & Technology Trading the exclusive right to purchase or designate one or more persons to purchase all or any portion of the Equity Interest from the PRC Shareholders subject to compliance with legal restrictions under applicable PRC laws. The PRC Shareholders shall not sell or transfer all or any portion of the Equity Interest to any party other than Science & Technology Trading and/or the Specified Person.
Equity Interest Pledge Agreement:Under the Equity Pledge Agreements entered into by and among Science& Technology Trading, the PRC Operating Entities and each of the PRC Shareholders, the PRC Shareholders pledged all of their equity interests in the PRC Operating Entities as security to ensure that Science& Technology Trading collects the Consulting Fee under the Service Agreement. The Pledge shall be effective as of the date that the Pledge is recorded in the register of shareholders of Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) and shall remain effective so long as this Agreement remains in effect. During the Term of the Pledge, Science& Technology Trading shall be entitled to foreclose on the Pledge in accordance with this Agreement in the event that Dalian Tianyi and Science & Technology (Dalian) fail to pay the Consulting Fees in accordance with the Service Agreement. Science& Technology Trading shall be entitled to exercise, dispose of or assign the Pledge in accordance with this Agreement.
Powers of Attorney: The PRC Shareholders have each executed an irrevocable power of attorney to appoint Science& Technology Trading as their sole representative with full authority to perform and exercise any and all shareholder’s rights associated with the Equity Interest, including but not limited to, the right to attend shareholders’ meetings, the right to execute shareholders’ resolutions, the right to sell, assign, transfer or pledge any or all of the Equity Interest and the right to vote the Equity Interest for all matters, including but not limited to, the appointment of legal representatives, board members, executive directors, inspectors, chief managers and other senior management officers and the submission of all the Company’s related documentations to the competent authorities. The term of each power of attorney is valid so long as such shareholder is a shareholder of the respective PRC Operating Entity.
As a result of these VIE Agreements, the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Science& Technology Trading, was granted with unconstrained decision making rights and power over key strategic and operational functions that would significantly impact the PRC Operating Entities or the VIEs’ economic performance, which includes, but is not limited to, the development and execution of the overall business strategy; important and material decision making; decision making for merger and acquisition targets and execution of merger and acquisition plans; business partnership strategy development and execution; government liaison; operation management and review; and human resources recruitment and compensation and incentive strategy development and execution. Science& Technology Trading also provides comprehensive services to the VIEs for their daily operations, such as operational technical support, OA technical support, accounting support, general administration support and technical support for products and services. As a result of the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreements, the Equity Pledge Agreements and the Exclusive Option Agreements, the Company will bear all of the VIEs’ operating costs in exchange for 100% of the net income of the VIEs. Under these agreements, the Company has the absolute and exclusive right to enjoy economic benefits similar to equity ownership through the VIE Agreements with our PRC Operating Entities and their shareholders.
These contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing the Company with control over the VIEs as direct ownership. Due to its VIE structure, the Company has to rely on contractual rights to effect control and management of the VIEs, which exposes it to the risk of potential breach of contract by the shareholders of the VIEs for a number of reasons. For example, their interests as shareholders of the VIEs and the interests of the Company may conflict and the Company may fail to resolve such conflicts; the shareholders may believe that breaching the contracts will lead to greater economic benefit for them; or the shareholders may otherwise act in bad faith. If any of the foregoing were to happen, the Company may have to rely on legal or arbitral proceedings to enforce its contractual rights, including specific performance or injunctive relief, and claiming damages. Such arbitral and legal proceedings may cost substantial financial and other resources, and result in a disruption of its business, and the Company cannot assure that the outcome will be in its favor. Apart from the above risks, there are no significant judgments or assumptions regarding enforceability of the contracts.
In addition, as all of these contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through either arbitration or litigation in the PRC, they would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. The legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in other jurisdictions, such as the United States. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could further limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. Furthermore, these contracts may not be enforceable in China if PRC government authorities or courts take a view that such contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or are otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. In the event the Company is unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, it may not be able to exert effective control over the VIEs, and its ability to conduct its business may be materially and adversely affected.
The assets of the VIEs can be used to settle obligations of the consolidated entities. Conversely, liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these VIEs do not represent additional claims on the Company’s general assets.
Most of our operations are conducted through our affiliated companies which the Company controls through contractual agreements in the form of VIEs. Current regulations in China permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only out of its accumulated distributable profits, if any, determined in accordance with their articles of association and PRC accounting standards and regulations. The ability of these Chinese affiliates to make dividends and other payments to us may be restricted by factors that include changes in applicable foreign exchange and other laws and regulations.
| A. | Under PRC law, our subsidiary may only pay dividends after 10% of its after-tax profits have been set aside as reserve funds, unless such reserves have reached at least 50% of its registered capital. Such cash reserve may not be distributed as cash dividends. |
| B. | The PRC Income Tax Law also imposes a 10% withholding income tax on dividends generated on or after January 1, 2008 and distributed by a resident enterprise to its foreign investors, if such foreign investors are considered as non-resident enterprise without any establishment or place within China or if the received dividends have no connection with such foreign investors’ establishment or place within China, unless such foreign investors’ jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. |
As of September 30, 2016, the Company has no plan for distribution of retained earnings.
The following financial statement amounts and balances of the VIEs were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively:
| | September 30, 2016 | | | December 31, 2015 | |

| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
| | (Unaudited) | | | (Unaudited) | |
Revenues | | $ | 843,713 | | | $ | 1,236,812 | |

| | | | | | | | |
Net income | | $ | 69,354 | | | $ | 256,418 | |
All of our current revenue is generated in PRC currency Renminbi (“RMB”). Any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use net revenues generated in RMB to make dividends or other payments in U.S. dollars or fund possible business activities outside China.
Foreign currency exchange regulation in China is primarily governed by the following rules:
| ¨ | Foreign Exchange Administration Rules (1996), as amended in August 2008, or the Exchange Rules; |
| ¨ | Administration Rules of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), or the Administration Rules. |
Under the Administration Rules, RMB is freely convertible for current account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest payments, trade and service related foreign exchange transactions, but not for capital account items, such as direct investments, loans, repatriation of investments and investments in securities outside of China, unless the prior approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) is obtained and prior registration with the SAFE is made. Foreign-invested enterprises like ours that need foreign exchange for the distribution of profits to their shareholders may affect payment from their foreign exchange accounts or purchase and pay foreign exchange rates at the designated foreign exchange banks to their foreign shareholders by producing board resolutions for such profit distribution. Based on their needs, foreign-invested enterprises are permitted to open foreign exchange settlement accounts for current account receipts and payments of foreign exchange along with specialized accounts for capital account receipts and payments of foreign exchange at certain designated foreign exchange banks.
NOTE 4. SUMMARIES OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016 and for the nine months and three months periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to provide for fair presentation. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, previously filed with the SEC.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2016, its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the nine months and three months periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
| b. | Principles of consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and VIEs. Upon consolidation, all balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and VIEs have been eliminated.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include valuation allowances for receivables and recoverability of carrying amount and the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets.
| d. | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash on deposit with various financial institutions in PRC and all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Cash accounts are not insured or otherwise protected. Should any bank or trust company holding cash deposits become insolvent, or if the Company is otherwise unable to withdraw funds, the Company would lose the cash on deposits with that particular bank or other financial institutions.
Property and equipment mainly comprise computer equipment, hardware and office furniture. Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation with no residual value.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets:
Office and other equipment | 5 years |
| |
Computers | 3 years |
Depreciation expense is allocated among Research and development expenses, Selling and marketing expenses and General and administrative expenses.
When office equipment and electronic devices are retired or otherwise disposed of, resulting gain or loss is included in net income or loss in the year of disposition for the difference between the net book value and proceeds received thereon. Maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the expected useful lives of the assets are charged to expenses as incurred.
| f. | Impairment of long-lived assets |
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value. There were no impairment losses for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605,Revenue Recognition. Revenues are recognized when the four of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the service has been rendered, (iii) the fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The recognition of revenue involves certain management judgments. The amount and timing of our revenues could be materially different for any period if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.
Online Membership Revenue
Online membership revenue includes revenue from members for brand advertising services as well as others services.
The Company has the arrangements with nonrefundable up-front fees model (“the Model”) to recognize revenue for the online membership business. We apply the Model, where a contract is signed to establish a fixed price for our services to be provided for a period of time as a membership enrollment, for a majority of our online membership revenue. Revenue is recognized ratably over the membership periods on a straight line basis, unless evidence suggests that the revenue is earned or obligations are fulfilled in a different pattern, over the contractual term of the arrangement or the expected period during which those specified services will be performed, whichever is longer. The Company provides advertisement placements to our advertising customers on our different Website channels and in different formats, which can include, among other things, banners, links, logos, buttons, rich media, pre-roll and post-roll video screens, pause video screens and content integration, as specified in the contracts with the members. The members can choose various on line services from the membership contracts based on their yearly membership.
The Company recognizes revenue when all revenue recognition criteria are met.
A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.
| i. | Earnings (loss) per share |
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for all periods. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, increased by common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents represent incremental shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants. However, potential common shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted loss per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive, such as in a period in which a net loss is recorded.
| j. | Foreign currency transactions and translations |
An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, normally that is the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management’s judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements. The reporting currency of the Company is United States dollars (“U.S. dollars” or “$”), and the functional currency of HK Science & Technology is Hong Kong dollars (“HK dollar”). The functional currency of the Company’s PRC subsidiary and VIEs is the RMB, and PRC is the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The reporting currency of these consolidated financial statements is U.S. dollars.
For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company’s PRC subsidiary and VIEs, which are prepared using the RMB, are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, U.S. dollars. The financial statements of HK Science & Technology, which are prepared using the HK dollar, are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during each reporting period, and shareholders' equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in owners’ equity.
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The resulting exchange differences are included in the determination of net income (loss) of the consolidated financial statements for the respective periods.
The exchange rates used for foreign currency translation were as follows:
| | September 30, 2016 | | | December 31, 2015 | |
(US$1 = RMB) Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts | | | 6.6702 | | | | 6.4917 | |
(US$1 = HKD) | | | | | | | | |
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts | | | 7.7550 | | | | 7.7507 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |
(US$1 = RMB) Items in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and statements of cash flows | | | 6.5802 | | | | 6.1735 | |
(US$1 = HKD) Items in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and statements of cash flows | | | 7.7638 | | | | 7.7531 | |
No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at the rates used in translation.
Translations adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the shareholder’s equity were $78,076 at September 30, 2016 and$68,167at December 31, 2015, respectively.
| k. | Fair Value Measurements |
The Company applies the provisions of ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| ¨ | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| ¨ | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. |
| ¨ | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. |
There were no transfers between level 1, level 2 or level 3 measurements for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
As of September 30, 2016 the Company used Level 3 to measure the fair value of the shares that the Company issued to employees and part-time consultants for the service rendered. As the Company’s shares were still not active on OTCBB, no quoted price for those shares.
The carrying values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including accounts receivables, other current assets, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if applicable, their stated interest rate approximates current rates available.
| l. | Share-Based Compensation |
Pursuant to ASC Topic 718,Compensation - Stock Compensation, the Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of stock-based compensation based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost is recognized over the requisite service period, except for awards granted to employees for past services, which are fully expensed by the grant date.
| m. | Recently adopted accounting pronouncements |
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. The amendment in this update defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date, interim and annual reporting periods after December 15, 2016. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt ASU 2014-09. In April and May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. These new standards will identify performance obligations. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of these new standards, including the transition method, to determine the impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), aimed at making leasing activities more transparent and comparable. The new standard requires substantially all leases be recognized by lessees on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, including today’s operating leases. For public business entities, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In March, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." This update was issued as part of a simplification effort for the accounting of share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We do not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.
NOTE 5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The FASB’s accounting standard for earnings per share requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. The Company has no potential dilutive securities as of September 30, 2016.
The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively:

NOTE 6. CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and related parties receivables.
The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions, which management believes are of high-credit ratings and quality.
The related parties receivables are regularly monitored and an impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date based on the payment history and financial position of related parties.
The Company conducts credit evaluations of customers and generally does not require collateral or other security from its customers. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts primarily based upon the age of the receivables and factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers.

Realization of the net deferred tax assets is dependent on factors including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and adequate future taxable income, exclusive of reversing deductible temporary differences and tax loss or credit carry forwards. The Company evaluates the potential realization of deferred tax assets on an entity-by-entity basis. As of September 30, 2016, valuation allowances were provided against deferred tax assets in entities where it was determined it was more likely than not that the benefits of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company had deferred tax assets which consisted of tax loss carry-forwards, which can be carried forward to offset future taxable income for five years from the year the loss occurred. The management determines it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets could not be recognized, so full allowances were provided as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Revenue of our membership and advertising planning services are subject to 6% value added tax (“VAT”) and 0.72% total surcharge of the gross service income for the business incurred on and after November 1, 2013.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by China Network Media, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements (collectively the “Filings”) and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company currently has limited revenue and has accumulated deficit of $917,905 and $1,023,818 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and net income of $128,489 and $544,291 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, the company had a negative cash flow from operating activities for nine months ended September 30, 2016. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to fund continuing operations through new financing from related parties and equity financing arrangements. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required until 2016 when it can generate sources of recurring revenues and to ultimately attain profitability. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, loans from shareholders, as well as the cash flows generated from our operations.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $73,410. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately$482,421. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits in banks with maturities of three months or less, and all highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.
The Company believes that the current cash and cash equivalents combined with proceeds that it expects to generate from operating activities are sufficient to meet anticipated working capital needs, commitments and capital expenditures over the next twelve months. It may, however, require additional cash resources due to changes in business conditions and other future developments, or changes in general economic conditions.
Cash Generating Ability
We believe that we will generate cash flows from our membership business and other business, which, along with our available cash, will provide sufficient liquidity and financial flexibility.
Our cash flows were summarized below:
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
| | 2016 | | | 2015 | |

| Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2016.
Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.
Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, because of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2016.
Our management has identified the following steps to address the above material weakness:
(1) We have engaged a financial accountant to assist us in preparing our financial statements in accordance with US GAAP standards and SEC rules and regulations.
(2) We intend to hire, as needed, key accounting personnel with technical accounting expertise and reorganize the finance department to ensure that accounting personnel with adequate experience, skills and knowledge relating to complex, non-routine transactions are directly involved in the review and accounting evaluation of our complex, non-routine transactions.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
