Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Phoenix International (China) Limited
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Phoenix International (China) Limited (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Phoenix International (China) Limited as of December 31, 2010, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business
Phoenix International (China) Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated on October 19, 2009 under the laws of Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). On June 7, 2010, the Company invested 100% in Hunan Beiwei International Media Consulting Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) in the county of Changsha, Hunan Province, PRC under the corporate laws of PRC.
On June 7, 2010, the WFOE entered into a series of agreements, the purpose of which was to restructure Changsha Zhongte Advertising Limited (“Zhongte”), Changsha Beiwei Sanshi Cultural Communication Limited (“Beiwei”) and Changsha Beichen Cultural Communication Limited (“Beichen”) in accordance with PRC law such that it could seek capital and grow its business (the “Restructuring”). Zhongte, Beiwei and Beichen were formed on September 27, 2002, August 26, 2003 and June 3, 2008, respectively, in the city of Changsha, Hunan Province, PRC under the corporate laws of PRC. The Agreements, including, but not limited to, a Consulting Services Agreement and an Operating Agreement, provide that all business revenues of Zhongte, Beiwei and Beichen will be directed in full by Zhongte, Beiwei and Beichen into bank accounts nominated by the WFOE, and the WFOE agrees to, as the guarantor for Zhongte, Beiwei and Beichen in the contracts, agreements or transactions in connection with Zhongte’s, Beiwei’s and Beichen’s operations with any other third party, provide full guarantee for the performance of such contracts, agreements or transactions. The general purpose of the agreements was for the WFOE to obtain voting rights and other stockholder rights in Zhongte, Beiwei and Beichen.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
As disclosed in Note 1, the WFOE entered into a series of Agreements with Zhongte, Beiwei and Beichen. Under FASB ASC 810 (formerly FIN-46R), Zhongte, Beiwei and Beichen are variable interest entities and the WFOE is the primary beneficiary. Therefore, the WFOE has consolidated Zhongte, Beiwei and Beichen in its financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Phoenix International (China) Limited and its controlling subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
In preparing the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the period from December 31, 2010 through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. No such events were identified for this period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include reserves for accounts receivable and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenues primarily from designing, producing and distributing advertisements. Revenue for the Company’s services is recognized when all of the following criteria are satisfied: (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (b) the price is fixed or determinable; (c) collectability is reasonably assured; and (d) services have been performed. Advertising revenue from television advertisement is recognized as the commercials are aired. Advertising revenue from newspapers is recognized when the advertisements are published. When the Company receives advance payments from clients, management records these amounts as advances from customers until the revenue is recognized. Because the Company acts as a principle obligor to its advertising clients, the Company reports revenue on a gross basis.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash Equivalents
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” codified in ASC Topic 230, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be “cash equivalents”.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from balances outstanding at the end of the period. Based on its assessment of the credit history with customers having outstanding balances and current relationships with them, management makes conclusions whether any realization of losses on balances outstanding at the end of the period will be deemed uncollectible based on the age of the receivables. The Company reserves 5% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than 6 months and less than one year, 20% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than one year and less than two years, and 100% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than two years. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $141,830 and $31,736, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
| | |
Vehicles | | 5 to 8 years |
Office equipment and furniture | | 3 to 5 years |
Building and improvements | | 10 to 20 years |
Cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. Gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment, if any, is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” codified in ASC Topic 360-10-35, the Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets on a periodic basis in order to identify business conditions, which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future discounted cash flows. If the total of the expected future discounted cash flows is less than the total carrying value of the assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value (computed based upon the expected future discounted cash flows) and the carrying value of the assets.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No differences were noted between the book and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities, respectively. Therefore, there are no deferred tax assets or liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2010. The statutory income tax rate is 25%.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other instruments. The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable short-term debt approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The financial position and results of operations of the Company is determined using local currency (Chinese Yuan) as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the prevailing exchange rate in effect at each year end. Contributed capital accounts are translated using the historical rate of exchange when capital is contributed. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange during the year. Currency translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into US Dollars for the purposes of preparing the condensed combined financial statements were as follows:
| | |
| December 31, 2010 | December 31, 2009 |
Balance sheet items, except for stockholders’ | | |
equity items | RMB 1: US$0.15170 | RMB 1: US$0.14670 |
| | |
| December 31, 2010 | December 31, 2009 |
Amounts included in the statements of | | |
income, and statements of cash flows for the | | |
years then ended | RMB 1: US$0.14794 | RMB 1: US$0.14661 |
| | |
Stockholders’ equity items | Historical rate | Historical rate |
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, codified in ASC Topic 220-10, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. ASC 220-10 defines comprehensive income to include all changes in equity, including adjustments to minimum pension liabilities, accumulated foreign currency translation, and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB expanded the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements relating to the transfers in and out of Level 2 measurements and amended the disclosure for the Level 3 activity reconciliation to be presented on a gross basis. In addition, valuation techniques and inputs should be disclosed for both Levels 2 and 3 recurring and nonrecurring measurements. The new requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about the Level 3 activity reconciliation which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted the new disclosure requirements on January 1, 2010 except for the disclosure related to the Level 3 reconciliation, which will be adopted on January 1, 2011. The adoption will not have an impact on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure for revenue recognition. The amendment modifies the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements. Under the guidance, in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) or other third party evidence (“TPE”) of the selling price for the deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement, this amendment requires companies to use an estimated selling price (“ESP”) for the individual deliverables. Companies shall apply the relative-selling price model for allocating an arrangement’s total consideration to its individual deliverables. Under this model, the ESP is used for both the delivered and undelivered elements that do not have VSOE or TPE of the selling price. The guidance is effective for the fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and will be applied prospectively to revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date. The Company intends to adopt the new guidance prospectively beginning January 1, 2011 and is currently evaluating the impact the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) officially launched the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which has become the single official source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, in addition to guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The ASC is designed to simplify U.S. GAAP into a single, topically ordered structure. All guidance contained in the ASC carries an equal level of authority. The ASC is effective for all interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company’s implementation of this guidance effective July 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), codified in FASB ASC Topic 855-10-05, which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10-05) also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10-05) is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and accordingly, the Company adopted this pronouncement during the year ended December 31, 2009. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10-05) requires that public entities evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued.
Note 3 – Advance Payments
The Company makes advance payments to certain media for issuing advertisements. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, balances on advance payments were $4,522,647 and $545,286, respectively.
Note 4 – Due from Unrelated Parties
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had outstanding loans to unrelated parties of $578,396 and $478,447, respectively. These loans represent good-faith loans that are non-interest bearing given to third parties and are payable on demand.
Note 5 – Property and Equipment
