CHINA XINGBANG INDUSTRY GROUP INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated group financial statements of China Xingbang Industry Group Inc. (the “Company”), its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) (collectively the “Group”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete audited financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring accruals considered necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2013, the results of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s operations resulted in a net loss of $695,334 and used cash in operations of $669,770 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had an unappropriated accumulated deficit of $2,526,298 and a working capital deficiency of $2,927,947.
In the course of its development activities, the Company continues to sustain losses. The Company predicts that it will start generating profits in 2013. The Company expects to finance its operations primarily through capital contributions from a director. The Company borrowed from related companies and shareholders (the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. Xiaohong Yao (“Mr. Yao”) and his spouse) a net amount of $1,147,677 during the first quarter of 2013, and the related company and director agreed to lend more funds to the Company as needed for management to execute its business plan for at least the next twelve months.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 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 such time as 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.
China Xingbang Industry Group Inc. (“China Xingbang” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on April 12, 2011 as a holding company.
Xing Bang Industry Group Limited (“Xingbang BVI”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on March 24, 2011 as a holding company and is wholly owned by China Xingbang.
China Group Purchase Alliance Limited (“Xingbang HK”) was incorporated in Hong Kong on August 5, 2008 as a holding company and is wholly owned by Xingbang BVI. Xingbang HK established Guangzhou Xingbang Information Consulting Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign owned enterprise (“Guangzhou Xingbang” or the “WFOE”), on May 12, 2011 in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) to provide consulting, investment and technical services to Guangdong Xingbang Industry Information & Media Co., Ltd. (“Guangdong Xingbang”).
Guangdong Xingbang was incorporated in the PRC on January 17, 2005 as a limited liability company. Guangdong Xingbang is a print media operator serving the home furnishing industry in the PRC. Guangdong Xingbang also provides marketing consulting service to clients in the home furnishing industry and local government in the PRC. Starting from August 2011, Guangdong Xingbang began to provide e-commerce services, namely B2B2C (Business-to-Business-to-Consumer), to manufacturers and distributors, and brick-and-mortar stores located in different parts of the PRC through an e-commerce platform, referred to as ju51 Mall, developed by Guangdong Xingbang.
Xinyu Xingbang Information Industry Co., Ltd (“Xinyu Xingbang”) was incorporated in the PRC on June 11, 2012 for the purpose of continuing the business of Guangdong Xingbang in the near future as Guangdong Xingbang winds down its operations. Pursuant to the Articles of Associations of Xinyu Xingbang, Guangdong Xingbang and the WFOE each invested $787,030 (RMB 5,000,000) in Xinyu Xingbang and each owns 50% of the equity interest of Xinyu Xingbang. Under the Xinyu Xingbang Articles of Association, the WFOE is entitled to appoint the sole director and all members of the management team of Xinyu Xingbang and the WFOE is entitled to receive 99.99% of Xinyu Xingbang’s net profit. Based on the relevant PRC regulations, an Internet Content Provider license, or ICP license, issued by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, is required for Xinyu Xingbang to conduct business as currently contemplated. In order to be granted the ICP license, foreign investor’s ownership of Xinyu Xingbang cannot exceed 50%. Xinyu Xingbang obtained its ICP license in February 2013. Guangdong Xingbang will gradually wind down its operations and Xinyu Xingbang will carry out Guangdong Xingbang’s business except that Guangdong Xingbang will fulfill its contractual obligations under the existing customer contracts. Guangdong Xingbang will grant an exclusive license to Xinyu Xingbang to permit Xinyu Xingbang to use the trademark, domain names, intellectual property rights and any know-how Guangdong Xingbang owns. Guangdong Xingbang will also assign the management right and right to receive revenue from the ju51 Mall and our newspaper publication, called Industry Economy Review, to Xinyu Xingbang. Guangdong Xingbang will continue its corporate existence to hold the equity interest in Xinyu Xingbang.
Pursuant to (i) a series of contractual arrangements between the WFOE, Guangdong Xingbang and all the shareholders of Guangdong Xingbang, (ii) the share exchange agreement between China Xingbang, Xingbang BVI and all the shareholders of Xingbang BVI, and (iii) the WFOE’s 50% equity ownership of Xinyu Xingbang, the results of all these entities are consolidated together. Since they are under common control, the contractual arrangements and share exchange were accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control (See Note 4).
NOTE 4 | VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY |
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, the Company analyzes its variable interests including its equity investments. The Company determines its interests in potential VIEs and then assesses whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of each VIE. If the Company determines it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company consolidates its assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows (see note 5A). If the Company is not the primary beneficiary, the Company accounts for such interests using other applicable GAAP. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Guangdong Xingbang and thus consolidates its assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows. The Company also consolidates Xinyu Xingbang, a joint venture formed between Guangdong Xingbang and Guangzhou Xingbang.
NOTE 5 | GROUP RESTRUCTURING |
| (A) | Variable interest entity On May 13, 2011, the Company, through its PRC subsidiary Guangzhou Xingbang, entered into a series of contractual arrangements consisting of five agreements with Guangdong Xingbang and all the shareholders of Guangdong Xingbang. These five agreements and their consequences are described below. |
| (i) | a consulting service agreement, pursuant to which Guangdong Xingbang grants Guangzhou Xingbang the right to manage and operate Guangdong Xingbang. In return, Guangdong Xingbang agreed to pay 100% of its net income, in each quarter, as consulting fee to Guangzhou Xingbang. The Consulting Service Agreement is effective until it is terminated by either party in the event the other party becomes bankrupt or insolvent, Guangzhou Xingbang ceases operations, or if circumstances arise which materially and adversely affect the performance or the objectives of such agreement. Guangzhou Xingbang may also terminate such agreement if Guangdong Xingbang fails to remediate a material breach, or in its sole discretion with or without cause. |
| (ii) | a voting rights proxy agreement, pursuant to which the shareholders of Guangdong Xingbang irrevocably grant Guangzhou Xingbang with all of their voting rights as shareholder of Guangdong Xingbang. The Voting Right Proxy Agreement is effective until terminated by mutual agreement or by the WFOE with a 30-day prior written notice. |
| (iii) | an option agreement, pursuant to which: |
| | (a) | Guangzhou Xingbang or its designee has an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in Guangdong Xingbang, and; |
| | (b) | Guangdong Xingbang may not enter into any transaction that could materially affect its assets, liabilities, equity or operations without the prior written consent of Guangzhou Xingbang. The Operating Agreement is effective for the maximum period of time permitted by Chinese law (currently 20 years). |
| (iv) | an equity pledge agreement, pursuant to which each of the shareholders of Guangdong Xingbang has pledged his or her equity interest in Guangdong Xingbang to Guangzhou Xingbang to secure their obligations under the relevant contractual control agreements, including but not limited to, the obligations of Guangdong Xingbang and its subsidiaries under the exclusive services agreement, the call option agreement, the voting rights proxy agreement described above, and each of them has agreed not to transfer, sell, pledge, dispose of or create any encumbrance on their equity interest in Guangdong Xingbang without the prior written consent of Guangzhou Xingbang. The equity pledge agreement is effective for the maximum period of time permitted by Chinese law (currently 20 years). In the event Guangdong Xingbang fails to cure a material breach, Guangzhou Xingbang may, among other remedies available, terminate such agreement, and; |
| (v) | an operating agreement, pursuant to which each of the shareholders of Guangdong Xingbang has agreed to appoint the members recommended by Guangzhou Xingbang as the Directors of Guangdong Xingbang, and shall appoint members of Guangzhou Xingbang’s senior management as Guangdong Xingbang’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, and other senior officers. The Operating Agreement is effective for the maximum period of time permitted by Chinese law (currently 20 years), unless terminated by Guangzhou Xingbang with a 30-day prior written notice. In addition, the WFOE has the right to terminate the Operating Agreement in the event any of the agreements between Guangzhou Xingbang and Guangdong Xingbang are terminated or expire. |
In the PRC restructuring transaction described above, the Company gained indirect control of Guangdong Xingbang and Guangdong Xingbang is now a VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.
The Company accounts for its VIE in accordance with ASC 810, which requires the consolidation of VIEs in which a company has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company assesses all newly created entities and those with which the Company becomes involved to determine whether such entities are VIEs and, if so, whether or not the Company is their primary beneficiary.
As required by ASC 810-10, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether the Company remains the primary beneficiary of Guangdong Xingbang, which also owns 50% of Xinyu Xingbang. A qualitative assessment begins with an understanding of the nature of the risks in the entity as well as the nature of the entity’s activities including terms of the contracts entered into by the entity, ownership interests issued by the entity and the parties involved in the design of the entity. The Company’s assessment on the involvement with Guangdong Xingbang reveals that the Company has the absolute power to direct the most significant activities that impact the economic performance of Guangdong Xingbang. Under the accounting guidance, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Guangdong Xingbang and the results of Guangdong Xingbang and Xinyu Xingbang are consolidated in the Company’s group financial statements for financial reporting purposes. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has no equity interest in Guangdong Xingbang, none of the Company’s assets serve as collateral for Guangdong Xingbang; creditors of Guangdong Xingbang have no recourse to the Company; and the Company has not provided any guarantees to Guangdong Xingbang.
The assets and liabilities associated with Guangdong Xingbang and Xinyu Xingbang are combined and presented on a gross basis, prior to consolidation adjustments with other entities in the Group, and are as follows:

In 2011, the Company agreed to waive the management fee payable by Guangdong Xingbang for a period of 3 years from May 13, 2011 to May 12, 2014 in order for Guangdong Xingbang to preserve enough cash to fund its e-commerce business.
The liabilities recognized as a result of combining the VIE do not necessarily represent additional claims on the Company’s general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the combined VIE. Conversely, assets recognized as a result of combining the VIE do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims by the Company’s creditors as they are not legally included within the Company’s general assets.
Immediately prior to the PRC restructuring transactions that were completed on May 13, 2011, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and his spouse controlled Guangdong Xingbang as they owned 90% and 10% respectively of its registered capital. The Chief Executive Officer also indirectly controlled Guangzhou Xingbang as he owned 56.25% of the issued share capital of Xingbang BVI, the sole shareholder of Guangzhou Xingbang. As Guangzhou Xingbang and Guangdong Xingbang are under common control, the contractual arrangements have been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and the Group’s financial statements were prepared as if the reorganization occurred at the beginning of the first period presented.
On May 13, 2011, China Xingbang entered into a share exchange agreement with Xingbang BVI and the shareholders of Xingbang BVI in which the shareholders of Xingbang BVI exchanged 100% of the issued share capital of Xingbang BVI, valued at $80,000, for 79,999,000 shares of common stock of China Xingbang. Xingbang BVI became a wholly owned subsidiary of China Xingbang. Prior to the share exchange, the sole shareholder of China Xingbang owned 56.25% of the issued share capital of Xingbang BVI. As both companies are under common control, the share exchange involving China Xingbang and Xingbang BVI is being treated for accounting purposes as a capital transaction and a reorganization of entities under common control with China Xingbang as the accounting acquirer and Xingbang BVI as the accounting acquiree. The consolidated financial statements were prepared as if the reorganization occurred at the beginning of the first period presented.
Accordingly, these group financial statements include the following:
1. | The balance sheets consisting of the net assets of the acquirer and acquiree at historical cost; and |
2. | The statement of operations including the operations of the acquirer and acquiree for the periods presented. |
NOTE 6 | PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION |
The accompanying group financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 include the financial statements of China Xingbang, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Xingbang BVI, Xingbang HK and the WFOE, its contractually controlled affiliate, Guangdong Xingbang and Xinyu Xingbang (only consolidated for the three months ended March 31, 2013), which is 50% owned by Guangdong Xingbang and 50% owned by Guangzhou Xingbang.
All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of the unaudited consolidated group financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the group financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 8 | THE EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS |
There have been no new accounting pronouncements during the 3 months ended March 31, 2013 that are of significance, or potentially significance, to the Group.
NOTE 9 | OTHER PAYABLES AND ACCRUED EXPENSES |

The Company operates in three reportable segments, advertising, consulting service and e-commerce. The Company evaluates segment performance based on income from operations. All inter-company transactions between segments have been eliminated on consolidation. As a result, the components of operating income for one segment may not be comparable to another segment.

NOTE 11 | STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY |
Appropriated retained earnings |
The Company’s PRC subsidiaries are required to make appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve at 10% of the after-tax net income annually until the total contributions equal to 50% of the entities’ registered capital. The statutory reserve funds are restricted for use to set off against prior period losses, expansion of production and operations or for the increase in the registered capital of the respective companies. This reserve is therefore not available for distribution except in liquidation.
As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company appropriated $72,493 and $72,493 respectively to its reserve funds based on its net income in accordance with the laws and regulations of the PRC.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read together with our consolidated group financial statements and the notes thereto and other financial information, which are included elsewhere in our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, our financial statements and the financial information included in this report reflect our organization transactions and have been prepared as if our current corporate structure had been in place throughout the relevant periods.
This section contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to various factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in these forward-looking statements. Further, as a result of these factors, risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events may not occur. Relevant factors, risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Item 1. Business,” “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s beliefs and opinions as of the date of this report. We are not obligated to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context requires or is otherwise specified, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar expressions include the following entities (as defined herein):
(i) China Xingbang Industry Group Inc., a Nevada corporation (“China Xingbang”);
(ii) Xing Bang Industry Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant (“ Xingbang BVI ”);
(iii) China Group Purchase Alliance Limited, a Hong Kong company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xingbang BVI (“ Xingbang HK ”);
(iv) Guangzhou Xingbang Information Consulting Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, or the “ WFOE ”, formed in the People’s Republic of China (“ PRC ”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xingbang HK;
(v) Guangdong Xingbang Industry Information & Media Co. Ltd., our principal operating subsidiary, which is a Chinese variable interest entity that the WFOE controls through certain contractual arrangements (“Guangdong Xingbang ”); and
(vi) Xinyu Xingbang Information Industry Co., Ltd., an entity incorporated in the PRC which the WFOE and Guangdong Xingbang each owns 50% of its equity interest, (“ Xinyu Xingbang”). Xinyu Xingbang will continue the business of Guangdong Xingbang.
Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Xingbang BVI and Xingbang HK, we own the WFOE, which controls Guangdong Xingbang, a variable interest entity (“VIE”), through a series of variable interest entity, or VIE contractual arrangements. Guangdong Xingbang is currently our sole source of income and operations. A summary of our business is described below.
We were formed as a Nevada corporation on April 12, 2011 to acquire operational control over Guangdong Xingbang. Since foreign investors are restricted by the laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China to operate the media and e-commerce business in China, we operate our business through ownership of the WFOE that provides management, consulting, investment and technical services to Guangdong Xingbang. We do not own any direct equity interest in Guangdong Xingbang. In May 2011, the WFOE entered into a series of contractual arrangements which effectively give the WFOE operational control over Guangdong Xingbang despite the lack of direct ownership. As a result of these contractual arrangements, we treat Guangdong Xingbang as a variable interest entity, or VIE, under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and we have included its historical financial results in our consolidated financial statements.
Our subsidiaries, Xingbang BVI and Xingbang HK are holding companies which do not have any operations or own any assets except for the ownership of the WFOE. The only current operation of the WFOE is to provide consulting and management services to Guangdong Xingbang. Currently, we rely on results of operations of Guangdong Xingbang and Xinyu Xingbang. If the PRC government declares the VIE agreements are not enforceable, we will not be able to exercise effective control over Guangdong Xingbang and consolidate the financial results of Guangdong Xingbang. In such case, our results of operations and financial position will be materially adversely affected.
Guangdong Xingbang, which was founded in 2005, derives revenue primarily from three types of business: e-commerce related revenue derived from our e-commerce platform ju51 Online Mall, advertising revenue, and revenue from consulting service provided to businesses and local governments in China.
Xinyu Xingbang was incorporated in the PRC in June 2012 for the purpose of continuing the business of Guangdong Xingbang in the near future as Guangdong Xingbang winds down its operations. Pursuant to the Articles of Associations of Xinyu Xingbang, Guangdong Xingbang and the WFOE each invested $787,030 (RMB 5,000,000) in Xinyu Xingbang and each owns 50% of the equity interest of Xinyu Xingbang. Under the Xinyu Xingbang Articles of Association, the WFOE is entitled to appoint the sole director and all members of the management team of Xinyu Xingbang and the WFOE is entitled to receive 99.99% of Xinyu Xingbang’s net profit. Based on the relevant PRC regulations, an Internet Content Provider license, or ICP license, issued by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, is required for Xinyu Xingbang to conduct business as currently contemplated. In order to be granted the ICP license, foreign investor’s ownership of Xinyu Xingbang cannot exceed 50%. Xinyu Xingbang obtained its ICP license in February 2013. Guangdong Xingbang will gradually wind down its operations and Xinyu Xingbang will carry out Guangdong Xingbang’s business except that Guangdong Xingbang will fulfill its contractual obligations under the existing customer contracts. Guangdong Xingbang will grant an exclusive license to Xinyu Xingbang to permit Xinyu Xingbang to use trademark, domain names, intellectual property rights and any know-how Guangdong Xingbang owns. Guangdong Xingbang will also assign the management right and right to receive revenue from the ju51 Mall and our newspaper publication, called Industry Economy Review, to Xinyu Xingbang. Guangdong Xingbang will continue its corporate existence to hold the equity interest in Xinyu Xingbang.
Below is our updated organizational structure after the incorporation of Xinyu Xingbang.
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/10-Q/0001213900-13-002626/img01.jpg)
Our revenue highly correlates to the Chinese real estate market and is seasonal. Chinese government’s policies restraining real estate growth will result in decrease in the demand for home furnishings, which will have a significant impact on our revenue. Generally, the first half of the year is low season for the home furnishings market, as people generally do not decorate their home during this period because of wet weather and other factors, so our revenue in advertising and consulting (except for consulting provided to local governments, and revenue generated by our ju51 Mall) is relatively low during this period.
During 2012, the Company decided to focus its efforts on its e-commerce business model. Therefore revenue from advertising and consulting dropped significantly during 2012. On February 14, 2012, the board of directors exempted distributors or the so called “channel service providers” from paying service charges from October 2011 to June 2012, considering that the distributors have recorded loss resulting from low sales volume on the ju51 Mall, and in order to maintain a good and sustainable cooperation relationship with them. The board also authorized Mr. Xiaohong Yao (“Mr. Yao”), the Chairman, CEO and President, to exempt distributors from paying service charges, direct sale stores (later rebranded as technical service stations) from paying franchise fees based on the trade volume on the ju51 Mall. In June 2012, the Company terminated all the contracts with channel service providers, because none of the channel service providers met the agreed goals. Management also determined that the e-commerce platform will not be put into use until it is fully developed. We do not expect revenue generated from service charges until the second quarter of year ended 2013 at the earliest.
Since February 2012, we started to develop technical service stations and recruit interior designers and decoration technicians to join a web portal called “China Decoration Technicians Network” at http://www.zgzxjg.com as part of our sales effort. The web portal is owned by Xinyu Zhongxing Decoration Technicians Network Company Limited, a related party that is 80% owned by Mr. Yao and 20% owned by his wife. The technical service stations (previously called “direct sales stores”) are intended to function as our local representative offices. The interior designers and decoration technicians help us reach out to consumers and act as shopping guides using the technical service stations as their base. Consumers who place order through the introduction of decoration technicians will enjoy special “membership price”, which is less than the direct sale price listed on the ju51 Mall. Interior designers and decoration technicians earn commissions from the flagship stores.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In preparing our consolidated group financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting, recognition and disclosure of our assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, revenues and expenses. We make these estimates and assumptions because certain information that we use is dependent upon future events, which cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or cannot be readily calculated based upon generally accepted methodologies. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difficult and therefore require a significant amount of judgment. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions that we use in the preparation of our consolidated group financial statements.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The decrease of $155,028 was mainly due to decrease in advertising revenue as a result of the change of our business model to focus on revamping our e-commerce business. The Company waived the fee for the use of the e-commerce platform from October, 2011 to June 2012 by the channel service providers so as to compensate for loss incurred by the channel service providers due to low sales volume in the Ju51 mall. In June 2012, the Company terminated all the contracts with channel service providers, because none of the channel service providers had met the agreed goals. Management also determined that the e-commerce platform will not be put into use until it is fully developed, which is expected to be in the second half of year ending December 31, 2013. We spent the year ended December 31, 2012 and the first quarter of 2013 repositioning the Company to shift our core business from advertising and consulting to e-commerce. During this time, management does not think it is appropriate to start generating revenue from our e-commerce platform until our e-commerce revenue models are finalized and driver supports are ready. Therefore revenue from e-commerce was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue is comprised of printing cost, editorial fee, agent fee, salaries of consulting service providers, amortization of website development costs, salaries of website administrators and business tax relating to advertising and consulting service rendered.
Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $153,932, compared to $219,404 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $65,472, or approximately 29.84%. The decrease was due to the approximate 92.22% decrease in the cost of advertising revenue, which was $115,633, the approximately 5.10% increase in the cost of consulting revenue, which was $946 and the 65.20% increase in the cost of e-commerce, which was $49,215. The reason for the decrease was the decrease in agent fees, salaries of consulting service providers and business tax relating to advertising and consulting service rendered.
Gross loss
Gross loss was $142,354 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $89,556, or approximately 169.62%, compared to $52,798 of the same period in 2012. The increase was mainly due to the decrease in advertising revenue.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses consist of selling, general and administrative expenses, impairment of website development cost and depreciation.
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $552,673, mainly composed of $527,066 in selling, general and administrative expense and $25,607 in depreciation. Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $357,139, mainly composed of $320,386 in selling, general and administrative expenses, $10,460 in impairment of website development cost and $26,293 in depreciation. The increase in operating expenses from the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $195,534, or approximately 54.75%. And it was mainly due to the increase in rental expense of $144,110, from the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to the quarter ended March 31, 2013, in general and administrative expenses, as a result of the lease agreement of office started on July 1, 2012, and the lease agreement of showroom started on October 1, 2012.
Other (expenses) income, net
Other (expenses) income, net, consists mainly of net of interest income, other income, other expenses, and gain on disposal of property and equipment.
Other expenses, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $307 compared to other income, net of $1,807 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $2,114, or approximately 116.99%. The decrease in other (expenses) income, net, was primarily because there was no any gain on disposal of property and equipment for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013, whereas there was a gain of $2,300 the same period in 2012.
Income tax benefit
Income tax benefit was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to income tax benefit of $53,514 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company did not recognize the deferred tax asset arising from the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013, due to the fact that the Company sustained continuous losses over the years. Our effective income tax rate was 0% and approximately 13% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively. Under PRC law, being qualified as a “New or High Technology Enterprise” is subject to review every year.
Net Loss
Net loss was $695,334 and $354,616 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively. The increase was mainly the result of a decrease in advertising revenue, and the revamp of the e-commerce business model and also the Company waiver of the fees paid to it for the use of the platform. Another reason for the increase was due to the increase in rental expenses in general and administrative expenses.
Other comprehensive loss
Other comprehensive loss was $3,621 and $1,644 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively. The change of foreign currency translation loss was primarily caused by the fluctuation in the RMB to U.S. dollar exchange rate in 2013 compared to 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on hand and demand deposits at banks. We had $587,872 and $197,530 of cash and cash equivalents on hand as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 respectively. There was an increase of $390,342 in our cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013.
The increase in our cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013 was largely attributable to an increase in net cash provided by financing activities, which was $1,147,677, on a period-to-period basis. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was largely caused by the advances of $1,102,842 from two related companies, Xinyu Xingbang Industry Co., Ltd. and Zhongshan Xingbang Industry Co., Ltd. Mr. Yao and his spouse own 90% and 10% respectively of the registered capital of Xinyu Xingbang Industry Co., Ltd. The rest of the increase is due to the advances of $44,835 received from Mr. Yao and his spouse.
We require cash for working capital, capital expenditures, repayment of debt, salaries, commissions and related benefits and other operating expenses and income taxes. We expect that our working capital needs will increase for the foreseeable future, as we continue to develop and grow our business. See “Business — General” in our 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2013.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:
| | Three months ended March 31, | |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities | | $ | (669,770) | | | $ | 1,122,648 | |
Net cash used in investing activities | | $ | (88,699) | | | $ | (18,332) | |
Net cash provided by financing activities | | $ | 1,147,677 | | | $ | - | |
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. Net cash used in and provided by operating activities was $669,770 and $1,122,648 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively. The most significant items affecting the comparison of our operating cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are summarized below:
● | Increase in cash loss from operations - Our net loss from operations, excluding depreciation, amortization, impairment of website development cost and gain on disposal of property and equipment, increased by $317,932 on a period-to-period basis, from cash loss of $293,028 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to cash loss of $610,960 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which negatively impacted our cash flows from operations. The increase in cash loss from operations was mainly due to the decrease in revenue and increase in rental expenses in general and administrative expenses in the first quarter in 2013 from the same period last year. |
● | Decrease in accounts receivable –Accounts receivable decreased by $0 for the first quarter in 2013, while they decreased by $1,493,685 for the same period in 2012. The reason for the change was that the policy remains the same and that we did not collect any accounts receivables in the first quarter of 2013. |
● | Decrease in other payables and accrued expenses - Other payables and accrued expenses decreased by $87,069 in for the first three quarters in 2013, decreased by $51,280 for the same period in 2012. Other payables and accrued expenses consisted of other tax payables, accrued professional fees, accrued expenses, deposits received from customers, other payable, accrued website development cost, accrued wages and accrued welfare. The decrease in other payables and accrued expenses was the net effect of the decrease of the accrued professional fee, accrued payables, and increase in accrued wages and other payables, which was mainly arising from the payments for construction in progress. |
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. Our investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 used cash of $88,699 and $18,332 respectively. The increase in cash used in investing activities was largely caused by the increased purchase of property and equipment of $32,814, payment of website development cost of $915 and payment of construction in progress of $29,484.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Our financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 provided cash of $1,147,677 and $0 respectively. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was largely caused by the advances of $1,102,842 from a related company, Xinyu Xingbang Industry Co., Ltd. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. Yao and his spouse own 90% and 10% respectively of the registered capital of Xinyu Xingbang Industry Co., Ltd. The rest of the increase is due to the advances of $44,835 received from Mr. Yao and his spouse.
Capital Resources
We had negative working capital of $2,927,947 as of March 31, 2013 and $2,219,805 as of December 31, 2012 respectively. The reason for the decrease from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013 was primarily due to the increase in amount due to a related company.
Under the VIE Agreements, Guangdong Xingbang pays the WFOE a consulting service fee, payable in RMB each quarter, equivalent to all of its net income for such quarter based on its quarterly financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the PRC. The WFOE then may transfer the cash payment to the offshore holding companies (Xingbang HK, Xingbang BVI and China Xingbang) via dividend payment, after deduction of relevant taxes. If we obtain funds through financing in the US, Xingbang HK may invest in the WFOE. It is generally prohibited for PRC resident enterprises, including foreign owned entities, to make inter-company loans. However, management believes it is in compliance with the current PRC law for the WFOE to deposit the funds into a PRC bank account and request the PRC bank to lend the funds to Guangdong Xingbang.
We are a holding company with no significant revenue-generating operations of our own, and thus any cash flows from operations are and will be generated by Guangdong Xingbang through our WFOE’s existing consulting service management arrangement with Guangdong Xingbang. Our ability to service our debt and fund our ongoing operations is dependent on the results of these operations and their ability to provide us with cash. The WFOE’s ability to make loans or pay dividends are restricted under PRC law and may be restricted under the terms of future indebtedness, its governing documents or other agreements. With the cash on hand and the anticipated cash to be received from our operations, we may not be able to generate enough cash to support the expansion of the business operations. However, the Guangdong Xingbang’s Shareholders are fully committed to provide cash as needed to support the Company’s ongoing operations and continued growth. Therefore, we believe that our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to enable us to meet our cash needs for at least the next 12 months.
Nonetheless, our liquidity and capital position could be adversely affected by:
● | loss of revenue from advertising and consulting service; |
● | continued failure to generate revenue in the e-Commerce business; |
● | any change of policy on accounts receivable; |
● | the enactment of new laws and regulations; |
● | our inability to grow our business as we anticipate by expanding our revamped e-commerce business; |
● | any other changes in the cost structure of our underlying business model; and |
● | any of the other risks and uncertainties described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. |

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we did not have any off-balance sheet obligations involving unconsolidated subsidiaries that provide financing or potentially expose us to unrecorded financial obligations. All of our obligations with respect to Guangdong Xingbang have been presented on our consolidated balance sheets as of each such date.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no new accounting pronouncements during the 3 months ended March 31, 2013 that are of significance, or potentially significance, to us.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer, reassessed the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2013 and has subsequently determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2013 due to certain material weaknesses including (i) lack of sufficient accounting personnel with appropriate understanding of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements; and (ii) lack of standard charter of accounts and written accounting manual and closing procedures to facilitate preparation of financial statements under U.S. GAAP for financial reporting processes. As a result of such material weaknesses, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Our management has worked, and will continue to work to remedy the above material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls.
Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2013 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting, except as disclosed above.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings. |
We may be involved in litigation and other legal proceedings from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Except as otherwise set forth in this quarterly report, we believe the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
There have not been any material changes to the risk factors that were included in our From 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2013.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. |
There were no issuances of our equity securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Limitations on Our Payment of Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends to date and we do not anticipate or contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. It is the present intention of management to utilize all available funds for the development of our business.
In the future, we may be a party to agreements that limit or restrict our ability to pay dividends.
In addition, Nevada corporate law prohibits us from making any distribution (including a dividend) on our capital stock at a time when
| ● | we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or |
| ● | our total assets would be less than the sum of (i) our total liabilities plus (ii) the amount that would be needed, if we were to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution (although we presently do not have any shareholders with such preferential rights). |
WFOE is a wholly-foreign owned enterprise under the laws of the PRC. The principal regulations governing dividend distributions by wholly foreign owned enterprises and Sino-foreign equity joint ventures include:
| ● | The Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended; |
| ● | The Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise Law Implementing Rules (1990), as amended; |
| ● | The Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise Law (1979), as amended; and |
| ● | The Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise Law Implementing Rules (1983), as amended. |
Under these regulations, wholly foreign owned enterprises and sino-foreign equity joint ventures in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Additionally, before paying dividends to their shareholders, these foreign invested enterprises are required to set aside at least 10% of their profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds until the amount of the cumulative total reserve funds reaches 50% of the relevant company’s registered capital. Accordingly, the WFOE is allowed to distribute dividends only after having set aside the required amount of its profits into the reserve funds as required under applicable PRC laws and regulations.
