CHINA DIGITAL MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(A) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring accruals considered necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position at September 30, 2010, the consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The consolidated results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statement should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2009 appearing in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
| Principles of Consolidation |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 include the unaudited financial statements of China Digital Media Corporation (“CDMC”) and its wholly owned or controlled subsidiaries, China Digimedia Holding Limited (“CDHL”), Arcotect (Guangzhou) Limited (“AGL”), Guangdong M-Rider Media Company (“M-Rider”), its 100% variable interest entity (“VIE”) in Guangdong HuaGuang DigiMedia Culture Development Limited (“HuaGuang”), and Arable Media Limited (“Arable”) and Arable (Guangzhou) Limited (“Arable GZ”) (collectively, “the Company”).
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 include the financial statements of CDMC and its wholly owned subsidiaries, CDHL, AGL, M-Rider, Arable, Arable GZ and its 100% VIE in HuaGuang.
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Digitalization of Television Signals
The Company entered into an agreement with Nanhai Network Company to assist its subscribers on the conversion of television signals from analog into digital by providing set-top-box (“STB”) and smart cards to the subscribers in Nanhai City on a lease basis. The Company is entitled to a portion of fees payable by the existing subscribers under a subscription agreement entered into between the subscribers and the Nanhai Network Company. Revenue is recognized on a straight line basis in accordance with the terms of the subscription agreement. The Company also sells STB and smart cards to new subscribers. Revenue arising from these services is recognized when the subscriber is invoiced for the STB and smart cards upon the completion of installation works.
In addition, the Company is entitled to be reimbursed for its operating expenses from Network Company in accordance to the subscription agreement. Revenue arising from costs reimbursement is recognized when the amounts are duly agreed upon between the Company and Network Company.
Television Advertising Sales
The Company acts as an advertising agent for certain television channels by selling advertising air time spaces and television program backdrops to customers. The Company's advertising services revenue is derived from billings that are earned when the advertisements are placed and revenue is recognized as the media placements appear.
Software Development
The Company provides various information technology professional services to its customers based on a negotiated fixed-price time and materials contract. The Company recognizes services-based revenue from all of its contracts when the services have been performed, the customers have approved the completion of the services and invoices have been issued and collectibility is reasonably assured.
(D) | Property and Equipment |
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, less estimated residual value over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows: (a) STB and smart cards - 5 years; (b) Motor vehicles - 10 years; and (c) Furniture, fixtures and equipment - 5 and 8 years.
Depreciation of STB
As required by SAB11:B, depreciation and amortization for property and equipment directly attributed to the generation of revenue are classified under “Cost of Sales”. Accordingly, depreciation of STB and smart cards of the Company is included in “Cost of Sales”.
CHINA DIGITAL MEDIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 (UNAUDITED)
(E) | Valuation of Financial Instruments |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value of financial instruments is made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables (trade and others), accounts payables (trade and related parties) and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with what it believes to be high credit quality financial institutions. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limit and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
The Company’s major operation is in the PRC, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between the United States dollars (“US$”) and the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Nevertheless, the Company does not believe that its foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk is significant, especially if the PRC government allows only gradual currency fluctuation so as to maintain the relative stability of RMB.
The Company accounts for non-hedging contracts that are indexed to, and potentially settled in, its own common stock in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”). These non-hedging contracts accounted for in accordance with EITF 00-19 include freestanding warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock as well as embedded conversation features that have been bifurcated from the host contract in accordance with the requirements of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”). Under certain circumstances that could require the Company to settle these equity items in cash or stock, and wit hout regard to probability, EITF 00-19 could require the classification of all or part of the item as a liability and the adjustment of that reclassified amount to fair value at each reporting period, with such adjustments reflected in the line item of change in valuation of derivative as other income (expenses) in the statements of operations.
The Company has issued 4% secured convertible debentures in a face amount of US$3,100,000 which were due and payable in full in 18 months from their issuance. As fixed prices are set for the conversion prices of such convertible debentures and the attached warrants, the Company is in a position to be sure it had adequate authorized shares for the future conversion of convertible debentures and warrants. Therefore, no embedded derivatives and warrants are required to be recorded at fair value and marked-to-market at each reporting period.
(F) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-01)
In June 2009, FASB approved the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental GAAP. All existing accounting standard documents, such as FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force and other related literature, excluding guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), have been superseded by the Codification. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification has become nonauthoritative. The Codification did not change GAAP, but instead introduced a new structure that combines all authoritative standards into a comprehensive, topically organized online database. The Codification is effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 0;15, 2009, and impacts the Company’s financial statements as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. There have been no changes to the content of the Company’s financial statements or disclosures as a result of implementing the Codification during the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
As a result of the Company’s implementation of the Codification during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, previous references to new accounting standards and literature are no longer applicable. In the current quarter financial statements, the Company will provide reference to both new and old guidance to assist in understanding the impacts of recently adopted accounting literature, particularly for guidance adopted since the beginning of the current fiscal year but prior to the Codification. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial positions for the year ended September 30, 2009.
Subsequent Events
(Included in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855 “Subsequent Events”, previously SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events”)
SFAS No. 165 established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued (“subsequent events”). An entity is required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and the basis for that date. For public entities, this is the date the financial statements are issued. SFAS No. 165 does not apply to subsequent events or transactions that are within the scope of other GAAP and did not result in significant changes in the subsequent events reported by the Company. SFAS No. 165 became effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and did not impact the Company’s financial statements. The Company evaluated for subsequent events thro ugh the issuance date of the Company’s financial statements. No recognized or non-recognized subsequent events were noted.
Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets
(Included in ASC 350 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”, previously FSP SFAS No. 142-3 “Determination of the Useful Lives of Intangible Assets”)
FSP SFAS No. 142-3 amended the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under previously issued goodwill and intangible assets topics. This change was intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under topics related to business combinations and other GAAP. The requirement for determining useful lives must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date and the disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. FSP SFAS No. 142-3 became effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of FSP SFAS No. 142-3 did not impact the Company’s financial statements.
Noncontrolling Interests
(Included in ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51”)
SFAS No. 160 changed the accounting and reporting for minority interests such that they will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS No. 160 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 with early application prohibited. The Company implemented SFAS No. 160 at the start of fiscal 2009 and no longer records an intangible asset when the purchase price of a noncontrolling interest exceeds the book value at the time of buyout. Any excess or shortfall for buyouts of noncontrolling interests in mature restaurants is recognized as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity. Any shortfall resulting from the early buyout of noncontrolling interests will continue to be recognized as a benefit in partner investment expens e up to the initial amount recognized at the time of buy-in. Additionally, operating losses can be allocated to noncontrolling interests even when such allocation results in a deficit balance (i.e. book value can go negative).
The Company presents noncontrolling interests (previously shown as minority interest) as a component of equity on its consolidated balance sheets. Minority interest expense is no longer separately reported as a reduction to net income on the consolidated income statement, but is instead shown below net income under the heading “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.” The adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have any other material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — Amended
(To be included in ASC 810 “Consolidation”, SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”)
SFAS No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities regarding certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity and modifies the methods allowed for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The amendments include: (1) the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, (2) a new approach for determining who should consolidate a variable-interest entity, and (3) changes to when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest entity. SFAS No. 167 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009, with earlier adoption prohibited. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 167 in fiscal 2010 and does not anticipate any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies
The Company accounts for loss contingencies in accordance with SFAS 5 “Accounting for Loss Contingencies”, and other related guidance. Set forth below is a description of certain loss contingencies as of December 31, 2005 and management’s opinion as to the likelihood of loss in respect of each loss contingency.
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 Company contests 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 the alleged e-mails, and the alleged emails themselves recite that they were not paid for by the Company or an affiliate. The United States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a decision dismissing Ziegler’s lawsuit against the Company in its entirety on July 12, 2010. The Plaintiffs did not file any appeal within the one month period. And the case is closed.

Overview
China Digital Media Corporation (”CDMC”) was previously known as HairMax International, Inc. (“Hairmax”), a Nevada corporation incorporated 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. 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 business of providing services to the television broadcasting and media industry in China through operations, partnerships and investments. The two main businesses of CDMC are:
- | Through a subsidiary, Arcotect (Guangzhou) Limited (“AGL”), converting analog cable television subscribers to digital television and providing various value added and broadband services to the digital subscribers; and |
- | Television advertising sales | | |
The Company’s business plan is to strengthen its branding and to enlarge its presence and involvement in the media industry. The Company will continue to focus its resources toward replicating its successful migration model to other cities of China, while seeking opportunities to alliance with strong strategic partners.
Cable TV operations and digital broadcast technology development
AGL, a wholly owned foreign subsidiary of CDMC incorporated in China, is the sole contractor and operator of digital television (“DTV”) services in Nanhai, Guangdong Province, a city with over 440,000 residential and commercial cable television subscribers.
On February 6, 2004, we signed a 20-year 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 Nanhai Network Company, a city-owned cable network operator in Guangdong Province. Pursuant to the Co-operative Agreements, the Company was responsible for migrating all cable television subscribers in Nanhai from an analog to a digital system (“Migration”) by the end of 2008. Owing to certain technical issues of the local network upgrade of the Nanhai Network Company, the Migration completion date was re-scheduled to the end of 2009. The Company entered into three supplementary agreements with the Nanhai Network Company in May and December 2007, and in February 2009 pursuant to the Co-operative Agreements, for re-scheduling the Migration completion date to the end of 2008 and then end of 2009. As of September 30, 2010, the Company has migrated about 446,419 subscribers into the digital system and the migration program is completed.
According to the Co-operative Agreements, AGL is entitled to share the subscription fees paid by all cable television subscribers as well as by DTV subscribers for basic and additional services, including pay-TV services, VAS, and to receive the subscription fee for any additional STBs.
Under the Co-operative Agreement, the Company is a sole contractor and operator of digital TV in Nanhai. The Company is responsible for supplying all subscribers with a digital set-top-box on a lease basis to subscribers. Subscribers must pay for an additional set-top-box by purchasing it from the Company. The Company is also responsible for providing operational support services including migration planning, marketing and sales, software development, customer service, repair and maintenance and logistics administration. The Company’s proprietary operating system automates many of the processes, such as database management, billing, work orders and inventory control, and assists in the operation of a 24/7 call center for technical support and customer care. The city-owned cable company retains management of the broadca sting system and the fiber-optic network and is responsible for compliance with national broadcasting policies.
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 consist of 85 channels, including a 51-channel basic package , 51 pay channels and 7 high definition TV channels bundled into various value added packages, such as Life & Leisure, World Sports, News, Drama and Family.
The Company has deployed an IP (Internet Protocol) based set-top-box which is developed by its subsidiary, Arable Media Limited, a software developer specialized in middleware products and applications for digital TV set-top box and broadcasting technologies. The Company believes the advanced set-top-box will enable the Company to provide additional value added services which can be deployed in the future; such as targeted advertising, interactive TV programs, online shopping and console games, as well as interactive education services.
TV and radio advertising sales
M-Rider, a company incorporated in China and 100% owned by the Company under a trust arrangement, is an advertising sales company engaged in the distribution of television and radio commercials. The Company is responsible for reselling commercial airtime to international and local advertising customers, either directly or through agents and receiving agency fees and services fee. The Company has many years of experience in providing consultancy and media planning services to clients, and assisting them to deliver their messages precisely and professionally to their targeted audiences efficiently. In addition, the Company believes that it can manage advertising resources more effectively to enhance value of the advertising space.
In February, 2008, M-Rider signed a five year sole agent service agreement (the “Sole Agent Agreement”) to provide consultation services and manage advertising time slots exclusively with China Yellow River TV Station (“CYR Station”), a television station located in Shanxi Province in China which has a population of over 30 million, starting from January 1, 2008. In addition, M-Rider has a priority to renew the Agreement for an additional five years upon expiration of the Sole Agent Agreement on December 31, 2011.
According to the Sole Agent Agreement, M-Rider shall act as the sole agent and provide consultation services for media planning advisory, sales analysis and strategic planning to CYR Station. In return, M-Rider will get a media services fee based on the revenue generated and a performance bonus at the end of each fiscal year.
The Company relied on two suppliers for approximately 99% of its purchases in the first six months of 2010 for the Nanhai digitalization of TV system in the Nanhai project. As of September 30, 2010, accounts payable to these suppliers amounted to $5,152,085 and $85,995 for the Nanhai project.
At present, some of our targeted businesses are subject to certain governmental restrictions in the PRC. In order to enable us to invest in certain media sectors such as TV and radio advertising and content productions before government regulations and policies in this field are opened to foreign investors, one of our directors holds the equity interest of HuaGuang while HuaGuang holds the equity interest of M-Rider on behalf of the Company. We are therefore not the direct owner of the programming and advertising operations. We anticipate that this arrangement will be continued until further relaxation of the broadcasting policy in China.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Statements of Operations Items:
Sales
Total net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased by $962,671 or 14% to $7,602,870 from $6,640,199 for the same period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in total net sales was due to the increase in cable TV subscription fee income out of the increased number of DTV subscribers during the year of 2009 through migration. The basic and additional STBs registered increased from about 540,020 as of September 30, 2009 to 592,975 as of September 30, 2010.
Gross Profit
Gross Profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased by $571,738 or 29% as compared with the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to the increase in DTV basic subscription fee income as a result of increased number of migrated DTV users since the completion of full migration in Nanhai at the end of 2009, and the increase in advertising income as a result of increased number of customers..
Expenses
Selling, general, administrative and depreciation and amortization (not related directly to generation of revenue) expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased by $403,968 or 21% to $2,366,359 in comparison with the nine months period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in these expenses was due to the increased research and development expenses incurred for the value added services for DTV users in NH to be launched at the end of this year.
Impairment loss of tangible assets of $7,777,071 was incurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 as a result of the write-down of asset values of STB installed over two years as basic STB provided to the Nanhai users. The Company was instructed by the Nanhai Network Partner Company as a government policy for transferring the titles of STB installed in Nanhai over 2 years as basic STB provided to the Nanhai users free of charge. Accordingly, the net value of the STB classified as tangible assets over 2 years is to be fully impaired.
Net Loss
Net loss after tax was $7,703,142 for the nine months period ended September 30, 2010, compared to a net gain of $2,019,270 for the same period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in net loss was mainly because of the impairment loss of tangible assets booked in this quarter and the lack of tax provision reversed.
Balance Sheet Items:
Current Assets
Current Assets of the Company decreased by $0.5 million to $6.9 million during the first nine months of 2010. As the Company paid several suppliers during the month of September this year before the receipt of the monthly settlement from the Nanhai Network Company, the cash level at month end of September is lower as a result.
Property and Equipment, Net
The net decrease in property and equipment of the Company of $11.0 million is due to a reclassification of STBs from fixed assets to inventory for the returned STBs from the migrated subscribers during the first quarter of 2010, where such returned STBs were held for sales purpose. During September, 2010, the Company was required to transfer the title of all the basic STB to the Nanhai users for those installed over 2 years free of charge. This is in accordance with the policy implemented by the local government and the Nanhai Network Company with a view to reducing the maintenance costs of the basic STB. Accordingly, the Company has changed its depreciation policy of estimated useful life of STB installed which were booked as tangible assets from 5 years to 2 years. Therefore, an impairment loss of $7,777,071 was incurred during the period. Such policy does not change the current level and base of monthly subscription fee income received by the Company from the Nanhai Network Company.
Other Asset
Other assets represent utility deposits, cash advance for business trips to staff and prepayment for general expenses.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities of the Company decreased by $3.6 million to $13.6 million during the first nine months of 2010. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in account payable to the supplier of STBs as the purchase of STB is greatly reduced from last year as a result of completion of DTV migration at last year end. And the reclassification of the convertible debenture to long term portion as a result of the extension to the end of the year 2011 also caused part of the decrease.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On September 30, 2010, we had cash of $2,349,664 and a working capital deficit of $6,792,477. This compares with cash of $3,600,583 and a working capital deficit of $9,905,650 at December 31, 2009. The decrease in cash was mainly due to the settlement to the suppliers before month end in September 2010.
Operating activities had a net generation of cash in the amount of $70,734 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 (2009: $1,979,634) reflecting an excess of revenues over expenditure.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $1,362,120 as compared with net cash used in investing activities of $1,856,677 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was due to the decrease in purchases of STBs in the first nine months of this year.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $71,089 representing the partial redemption of the convertible debenture during the period.(2009: used in financing activities $320,776 ).
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 September 30, 2010. For further business expansion and acquisition, the Company is considering various financing methods for funding, although there is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional funding on favorable terms, if at all.
On a long-term basis, liquidity is dependent on continuation and expansion of operations, receipt of revenues, additional infusions of capital and debt financing. Our current capital and revenues are not sufficient to fund further acquisition and business expansion. The Company is planning to raise capital through debt financing and equity raising from banks, potential investors and partners. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital, its growth potential is more likely to be affected.
The Company issued a total of $3.1 million in convertible debentures in November and December 2006, which matured in May and June 2008. Due to the Company’s current financial situation with most of the Company’s cash being utilized to make the upfront investment for the Migration, the Company did not have enough cash to repay the debentures. The Company has negotiated with some of the debenture holders to extend the debentures. As of the date of this report, the Company has entered into agreement with three debenture holders holding $650,000 and $1,814,250 in debentures that provided for the extension of their debentures to December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 respectively. The Company redeemed partially a debenture for $100,750 from one of the debenture holder on December 31, 2009 and $100,000 from the same debenture holder in July 2010.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
The Company does not engage in material off-balance sheet transactions.
Foreign Currency Translation Risk
The Company’s major operation is in the PRC, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between the United States dollars (“US$”) and the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Provided that the RMB exchange rate against the US$ maintains at a low degree of volatility, the Company does not believe that its foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation risk is significant.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries (whose functional currency is HK$ or RMB) are translated into US$ using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items are translated into US$ using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. All exchange differences on currency translations are recorded within equity. Translation loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $328,623.
