Overview
China Digital Media Corporation (”CDMC”) was previously known as HairMax International, Inc. (“Hairmax”), a Nevada corporation. It was incorporated in Nevada in 1987. Arcotect Digital Technology Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of Hong Kong, consummated a reverse merger with Hairmax in March, 2005, and Hairmax subsequently changed its name to China Digital Media Corporation, which is now our corporate name. With the termination of the original businesses of Hairmax, all of China Digital Media Corporation’s businesses are now located in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or ‘China”). Arcotect Digital Technology Limited has changed its name to China Digimedia Holdings Limited (“CDHL”), and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDMC.
.
We are engaged in the media industry in the PRC, the business of broadcasting media and cable television. Our business plan is to strengthen our branding and to enlarge our presence and involvement in the media industry through investment, mergers, acquisitions and alliance partnerships. In view of the rapid growth and potential opportunities we believe to exist in China's media industry, we will continue to invest our resources into the media market across China.
Cable TV operations and digital broadcast technology development
Arcotect (Guangzhou) Ltd, (“AGL”) a wholly owned foreign subsidiary of CDMC doing business in China, is the sole contractor and operator of digital television (“DTV”) services in Nanhai, Guangdong Province, a city with over 410,000 residential and commercial cable television subscribers. The cable broadcasting system had been completely analog.
On February 6, 2004, we signed a Co-operative Agreement for Total Migration into DTV System for the Nanhai District and subsequently signed a supplementary agreement on July 8, 2005 (collectively, the “Co-operative Agreements”) with the city-owned cable company. Pursuant to the Co-operative Agreements, we are responsible for:
(1) | migrating all cable television subscribers in Nanhai from an analog to a digital system (“Migration”) by the end of 2007; |
(2) | providing the first digital set-top-box (“STB”) to DTV subscribers on a lease basis; and |
(3) | providing operational support services including operating pay-TV and interactive services based on DTV technology. |
The broadcast system that decrypts the signal with the Company’s set-top-box and appropriate smart cards, can carry up to 800 digital channels of pay-TV programs and value added multimedia services. Currently, the services consists of 148 channels, including a 48-channel basic package and 100 pay channels bundled into various value added packages, such as World Movie, Life & Leisure, World Sports, News, Drama and Family.
As of March 31, 2006, the Company migrated over 160,000 out of approximately 410,000 subscribers in Nanhai. During the quarter, the Company decided to purchase new digital set-top-box which is integrated with new middle ware technology from a new STB supplier. The advanced set-top-box will enable the Company to provide additional value added services which can be deployed in the future according to a business plan of the Company.
In September 2005, the Company commenced trials of HDTV broadcasts, providing dramatically improved resolution and sound quality to select subscribers. In the first quarter of 2006, the Company deployed on an IP (Internet Protocol) based STB which was equipped with a Java platform and an Ethernet port to facilitate various interactive services we intend to offer in the future; such as targeted advertising, interactive TV programs, online shopping and console games, as well as interactive education services. The Company is currently negotiating partnerships with various vendors to provide interactive services, transforming a television set into an interactive multimedia platform.
In early May of 2006, the Company in Nanhai moved its office into a new premise with more than 10,000 sq. ft. The new office building is also the headquarter of Nanhai TV Bureau and Network Company.
TV advertising sales
In August 2005, the Company acquired 100% control of Guangdong M-Rider Media Company Limited through our strategy partner - HuaGuang. M-Rider is an advertising sales company engaged in the distribution of television commercials. The Company pays fixed fees to the television stations and is responsible for reselling commercial airtime to international and local advertising customers, either directly or through agents. The Company also provides consulting on scheduling and other issues like media planning and arrangement to enhance the effectiveness of clients’ commercial.
In December 2005, M-Rider signed its largest wholesaler contract with Southern International Media Advertising Co., Ltd., to manage and operate the commercial airtime of a provincial station’s channel for a one year term starting on January 1, 2006, extendable for an additional year. This model also has the potential to be applied to other TV stations in other cities as well as in other provinces throughout China.
TV program production and investment
With a growing subscription base, we intend to capitalize on our distribution platform through the production of original programming. Our plan is to develop a long-term presence in television program production, but we realize that program production is a relatively high risk venture. In order to obtain sufficient production experience, we have decided to participate through a strategic partner, Guangdong Runshi Movie & Music Production Co., Ltd., which has two ingredients essential for success in China: a Class A license that allows filming before submitting to censorship, which is cost effective, and a good program distribution network.
We have made a minority investment in two television series, XiGuan Affairs, with 40 episodes, and The Story of a Small Town, with 24 episodes. XiGuan Affairs has already generated revenue in the last quarter of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006. The production of The Story of a Small Town has been completed and will begin marketing and sales in the second quarter of 2006.
TV Channel Operation
In January 2006, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement, through its VIE, HuaGuang to purchase the media assets and personnel of Guiyang Classic & Fashion Advertising Co., Ltd., a television program production and advertising company in China. The target’s management team has over a decade of business experience in the media industry and a track record of successful television program production for different television channels.
In February 2006, the Company’s VIE, HuaGuang, entered into two joint venture agreements with a provincial television station for a term of 20 years engaging HuaGuang in a TV channel operation starting in May 2006, including content management, advertising sales and program production. Pursuant to the joint venture contracts, the provincial television station provides the exclusive use of a television channel, including production resources and equipment, while outsourcing its entire advertising time slots into the two joint ventures for an initial term of five years. One of the joint ventures, with 49% of the interest owned by HuaGuang, is responsible for sourcing and producing content, as well as schedule planning. The second joint venture, with 51% ownership interest by HuaGuang, will serve as the exclusive advertising agent to manage TV commercials. With a potential coverage of 8 million households, the channel is scheduled to have approximately 1,700 hours of self-produced television content each year, focusing on lifestyle and entertainment programs.
The Company relied on three suppliers for approximately 99% of its purchases in the first quarter of 2006 for the Nanhai digitalization of TV system in the Nanhai project and relied on one TV channel for approximately 90% of its purchase of TV advertising time slot in the first quarter of 2006 for the advertising agency sales of M-Rider. As of March 31, 2006, accounts payable to these suppliers amounted to $2,526,207, $1,966,491 and $336,784 for the Nanhai project, and $50,181 for M-Rider’s operations, respectively. Management believes that there are alternate sources of supply in the event that any of these suppliers ceased to provide goods and services to the Company.
For the three months period ended March 31, 2006, the Company did not derive revenue from any one customer that amounted to more than 10% of its total revenue.
At present, some of our targeted businesses are subject to certain restrictions in the PRC. In order to enable us to invest in certain media sectors such as TV advertising and content production before related government regulations and policies are opened up to foreign investors, we have strategically partnered with a Chinese registered company, Guangdong HuaGuang DigiMedia Culture Development Limited (“HuaGuang”), formerly known as Guangdong Pukonyi Culture Development Limited, to hold investments in programs production and advertising operations on our behalf. In this way, we are not the direct owner of the programming and advertising operations. We anticipate that this arrangement will be continued until further relaxation of broadcasting policy in China. Before transferring the entire equity interest in HuaGuang to us according to our Alliance Agreement with HuaGuang, we have obtained control and manage the operations of HuaGuang and receive 90% of its gross profit through various levels of agreements signed between our subsidiaries in China and HuaGuang. We have been advised by our Chinese counsel that these arrangements are necessary because we, a Nevada corporation, are considered a foreign company for the purposes of Chinese foreign investment laws. They also benefit the Company inasmuch as the Company can control and have the economic benefit of investment through HuaGuang, even though it is not the legal owner of these investments.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Other Comprehensive Income
We had other comprehensive income, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 of $43,300. The gain is principally attributable to the appreciation of RMB against the Dollar.
Net Income
We had net income of $444,549, or $0.01 per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to the net income of $437,853 for the same period ended March 31, 2005. The increase in net income was attributable to the increase in number of basic digital television subscribers and subscription of additional value-added services in Nanhai operations in comparison with the same period in 2005. Net income before taxes and minority interests increased by 65% to $724,381 from last period of 2005. The marginal increase in net income was primarily due to an increase of income taxes provision of $285,559 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Minority Interest
Minority interest in the statement of operation represents the minority shareholders’ share of the profits in our consolidated variable interest entity. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we recognized minority’s share of our profit of $5,727.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)
EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $1,209,008. The increase of $508,217, or 73%, over $700,791 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was primarily due to the substantial increases in total revenue.
Sales
Total net sales increased by $2,703,249 or 272% from $993,472 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to $3,696,721 for the same period ended March 31, 2006. The increase in total net sales was due to the consolidation of revenue from the newly acquired subsidiary, M-Rider and the share of the revenue from the investment in the television series. Together with an increase in the number of television subscribers, sales of value-added services and the increase of commercial accounts, total revenues for digital television operations had contributed a growth for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the comparable period in 2005. Advertising revenue was a new income source upon acquisition of M-Rider. In December 2005, M-Rider signed its largest wholesaler contract with Southern International Media Advertising Co., Ltd. to manage and operate the commercial airtime of a provincial station’s channel starting on January 1, 2006. For the first quarter, total revenue from television advertising represented 47% of the total revenues of the Company.
Due to business expansion of the Company into the agency business of television advertising, gross profit margin dropped significantly from 88% during the three months ended March 31, 2005 to 48% during the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Expenses
Selling, general, administrative and depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased by $695,105 or 160% to $1,129,897 in comparison with the three month period ended March 31, 2005. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $380,194 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 over the same period last year due to an increase in business activities, appointment of additional personnel for the development of new value-added products and services and the operation of newly acquired subsidiary. Depreciation and amortization increased by $314,912 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 due to the increase in the acquisition of STBs for the migration project in Nanhai.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 31, 2006, we had cash of $1,521,682 and a working capital surplus of $222,480. This compares with cash of $93,606 and a working capital deficit of $2,087,620 at March 31, 2005. The increase in cash and improvement in working capital from a deficit to a surplus was mainly due to receivable collections from Nanhai Network Company, increased retained earnings and additional paid in capital for the Company. Operating activities had a net generation of cash in the amount of $1,763,494 during the three months ended March 31, 2006 reflecting an excess of revenues over expenditure and increased depreciation as mentioned above.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $1,780,524 as compared with net cash used in investing activities of $406,221 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was due to an increase in purchases of STBs and investment in subsidiaries, compared to the comparable period in 2005.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $387,500. The net cash provided by financing activities was attributable through a private placement.
We continued to receive cash from Nanhai Network Company according to the project schedule and plan of television digitalization migration. The Company's investment in STBs and smart cards remained the substantial accounts payable at March 31, 2006. Due to our acquisition and expansion of operations, additional cash was invested. Two additional joint venture investments are expected to commence operation in the second quarter of 2006.
Quarterly Evaluation of Controls
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of (i) our disclosure controls and procedures ("Disclosure Controls"), and (ii) our internal control over financial reporting ("Internal Controls"). This evaluation ("Evaluation") was performed by our President and Chief Executive Officer, Ng Chi Shing ("CEO") and Lui Chi Keung, our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). In this section, we present the conclusions of our CEO and CFO based on and as of the date of the Evaluation, (i) with respect to the effectiveness of our Disclosure Controls, and (ii) with respect to any change in our Internal Controls that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our Internal Controls.
Attached to this quarterly report, as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, are certain certifications of the CEO and CFO, which are required in accordance with the Exchange Act and the Commission's rules implementing such section (the "Rule 13a-15(c)/15d-(e) Certifications"). This section of the quarterly report contains the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Rule 13a-15(c)/15d-(e) Certifications. This information should be read in conjunction with the Rule 13a-15(c)/15d-(e) Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topic presented.
Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls
Disclosure Controls are procedures designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that material information relating to the Company is made known to the CEO and the CFO by others, particularly during the period in which the applicable report is being prepared. Internal Controls, on the other hand, are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (i) our transactions are properly authorized, (ii) the Company's assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, and (iii) our transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the preparation of complete and accurate financial statements in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our Internal Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well developed and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of the 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 control. The design of a system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or because the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Scope of the Evaluation
The CEO and CFO's evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls included a review of the controls' (i) objectives, (ii) design, (iii) implementation, and (iv) the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this quarterly report. In the course of the Evaluation, the CEO and CFO sought to identify data errors, control problems, acts of fraud, and they sought to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, was being undertaken. This type of evaluation is done on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our controls can be reported in our quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB and annual reports on Form 10-KSB. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our Disclosure Controls and our Internal Controls, and to make modifications if and as necessary. Our intent in this regard is that the Disclosure Controls and the Internal Controls will be maintained as dynamic systems that change (including improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant.
Among other matters, we sought in our Evaluation to determine whether there were any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our Internal Controls, which are reasonably likely to adversely affect our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information, or whether we had identified any acts of fraud, whether or not material, involving management or other employees who have a significant role in our Internal Controls. This information was important for both the Evaluation, generally, and because the Rule 13a-15(c)/15d-(e) Certifications, Item 5, require that the CEO and CFO disclose that information to our Board and to our independent auditors, and to report on related matters in this section of the quarterly report. In the professional auditing literature, "significant deficiencies" are referred to as "reportable conditions". These are control issues that could have significant adverse affect on the ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data in the financial statements. A "material weakness" is defined in the auditing literature as a particularly serious reportable condition where the internal control does not reduce, to a relatively low level, the risk that misstatement cause by error or fraud may occur in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements and not be detected within a timely period by employee in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We also sought to deal with other controls matters in the Evaluation, and in each case, if a problem was identified; we considered what revisions, improvements and/or corrections to make in accordance with our ongoing procedures.
Conclusions
Based upon the Evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives. Our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to management, including the CEO and CFO, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared, and that our Internal Controls are effective at that assurance level to provide reasonable assurance that our financial statements are fairly presented inconformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States. Additionally, there has been no change in our Internal Controls that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our Internal Controls.
On May 24, 2005, a Complaint was filed against us, among others, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in a matter captioned as “Ziegler, Ziegler & Associates LLP and Scott Ziegler, Plaintiffs, v. China Digital Media Corporation and John Does 1-10, Defendants.” In the Complaint, the Plaintiffs allege, among other things, that we and John Does 1-10 used Plaintiff Scott Zeigler’s e-mail address and Plaintiff Ziegler, Ziegler & Associates, LLP’s internet domain name to distribute promotional information about us over the internet. The Plaintiffs seek a several types of relief, including damages in an amount not less than $1,250,000. Pre-trial discovery has commenced in the matter. The file number of the civil action is 05 CV 4960. We made a motion to dismiss the complaint on the grounds that the Plaintiffs failed to establish that the District Court for the Southern District has personal jurisdiction over CDMC. The Court has allowed the Plaintiffs to take discovery on the jurisdictional issue only, before deciding whether it will allow Plaintiffs to prosecute their case. Plaintiffs have started, but not yet completed jurisdictional discovery.
The Company contested the allegations of the Plaintiffs and has retained counsel admitted to practice in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to vigorously defend the action. The Company did not hire a stock promoter or a spammer to distribute promotional e-mails, and the emails themselves recite that they were paid for by a shareholder of our Company, and not by the Company or an affiliate. We believe that the shareholder referred to in the emails was promoting its own interest and we had nothing to do with such activity. We believe we have no liability in this matter.
On March 15, 2006, the Company issued 310,000 shares of our restricted common stock to Asia Achieve Holdings Limited for an aggregate consideration of $387,500, and in connection therewith, the Company and Asia Achieve Holdings Limited entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement on March 14, 2006. Proceeds of the issuance of stock were used as working capital by the Company.
