EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of CHINA INSONLINE CORP. for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2008 (the “Amended Form 10-Q”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 16, 2009, is being filed to correct certain errors in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related disclosures.
On August 20, 2009, our management had identified the errors in accounting, requiring restatement of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for that period to the following:
1) | the recording of the goodwill of $4,473,787 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations”, (“SFAS 141”), and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, (“SFAS 142”), as of December 31, 2008. As discussed in Note 2, “Restatement of Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the correction of this error from previously reported information as of December 31, 2008 has resulted in a change in the classification in the balance sheet of the intangible asset - insurance license of $4,473,787 to goodwill of $4,473,787. This results in the classification in the balance sheet of goodwill of $4,473,787 as of December 31, 2008, as compared to a previously reported intangible asset - insurance license of $4,473,787. The restatement relates solely to the correction of the balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and does not impact any other periods or financial statements presented in the Amended Form 10-Q. |
2) | the recording of the repayment from a former shareholder of a company acquired on October 28, 2008 (“GHIA”) of $1,019,759 should be classified as investing activities in accordance with the cash flow classification guidance from the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flow” for the six months ended December 31, 2008. As discussed in Note 2, “Restatement of Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the correction of this error from previously reported information for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 has resulted in a change in the classification of the repayment from a former shareholder of GHIA of $1,019,759 in the statements of cash flows. This resulted in a decrease in net cash provided by operating activities and a decrease in net cash used in investing activities to $2,804,856 and $4,805,537, respectively, as compared to previously reported net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities of $3,824,615 and $5,825,296, respectively. The restatement relates solely to the correction of the classification of the statement of cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and does not impact any other periods of financial statements presented in the Amended Form 10-Q. |
In addition, we have revised the conclusion in Part I, Item 4 as to management’s conclusion on the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures to conclude that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2008.
The following items have been amended in the Form 10-Q as a result of, and to reflect, the restatement:
| • | Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements |
| • | Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations |
| • | Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures |
| • | Part II, Item 6, Exhibits |
For the convenience of the reader, this Amended Form 10-Q amends and restates in its entirety the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2008. However, this Amended Form 10-Q amends only items referred to above, in each case as a result of and to reflect the adjustments discussed above and more fully in Note 2 of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures, which includes a summary of the effects of these changes on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2008. No other information in the 10-Q is amended hereby. The foregoing items have not been updated to reflect other events occurring after the filing of the 10-Q, or to modify or update those disclosures affected by other subsequent events. In particular, forward-looking statements included in the 10-Q represented management’s views as of May 15, 2009, the date of filing of the 10-Q for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2008. Such forward-looking statements should not be assumed to be accurate as of any other date. The Company undertakes no duty to update such information in the Amended Form 10-Q whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
As required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are providing Rule 13a-14(a) certifications dated September 25, 2009 in connection with this Amended Form 10-Q (but otherwise identical to their prior certifications) and are also furnishing, but not filing, written statements pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 dated September 25, 2009 (but otherwise identical to their prior statements).

1. Organization and Principal Activities
China INSOnline Corp. (“CHIO”), formerly known as Dexterity Surgical, Inc. (“Dexterity Surgical”) was incorporated on December 23, 1988 as a Delaware corporation and commenced operations on January 1, 1989. In August 1992, Dexterity Surgical completed an initial public offering of its common stock par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), which at such time was trading on The Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. In March 2008, Dexterity Surgical, Inc. changed its name to China INSOnline Corp. On July 1, 2008, CHIO’s Common Stock was approved by the NASDAQ to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “CHIO”.
On December 18, 2007, Dexterity Surgical, Rise and Grow Limited (“Rise & Grow”) and Newise Century Inc., the sole stockholder of Rise & Grow (the “Shareholder”) consummated a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which the Shareholder transferred to Dexterity Surgical, and Dexterity Surgical acquired from the Shareholder, all of the capital stock of Rise & Grow (the “Shares”), which Shares constitute 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Rise & Grow, in exchange for 26,400,000 shares of Common Stock, which shares now constitute 66% of the fully diluted outstanding shares of Common Stock. This share exchange transaction resulted in the Shareholder obtaining a majority voting interest in Dexterity Surgical. Generally accepted accounting principles require that a company whose shareholders retain the majority interest in a combined business be treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes, resulting in a reverse acquisition. Accordingly, the share exchange transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Dexterity Surgical.
On April 19, 2004, Dexterity Surgical filed a voluntary petition for relief for reorganization (the “Reorganization”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas Houston Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Dexterity Surgical underwent numerous operating changes and operated its business as a “debtor-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court. On March 2, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order confirming its First Amended Plan of Liquidation. In connection with that Plan, Dexterity Surgical’s assets were scheduled to be auctioned, which auction culminated in the sale of substantially all of Dexterity Surgical’s assets as approved by the Bankruptcy Court on March 17, 2006.
The First Amended Plan of Liquidation was subsequently amended on March 2, 2006, by an order titled “Order Approving Modification of the First Amended Plan” (the “Order”). The amendments provided for in the Order included the Bankruptcy Court’s authorization of a $50,000 Debtor-In-Possession Loan (the “DIP Loan”) for payment of administrative expenses of the bankruptcy, which converted into 6,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Section 1145 Shares”) and 3,000,000 warrants under Section 1145 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code at the option of the holder(s) of the DIP Loan, which were cancelled immediately prior to the Exchange. For an additional $125,000, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the sale of 25,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to an investor for the payment of both administrative claims and creditor claims.
The Bankruptcy Court also provided that all of the old shares of Dexterity Surgical’s preferred stock, stock options and warrants were cancelled; issued 29,800 new shares of Common Stock under Section 1145 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; issue up to 25,000 shares of Common Stock under Section 1145 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to those persons deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors (it was not necessary to issue these shares and therefore they have been cancelled); and appoint new Board members, amend the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock to 100,000,000, amend the Bylaws, change the fiscal year, execute the Share Exchange Agreement and issue shares in which effective control or majority ownership is given, all without stockholder approval.
Rise & Grow was formed on February 10, 2006 as a Hong Kong limited company. Zhi Bao Da Tong (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd (“ZBDT”), a company registered in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”), was established and incorporated by Rise & Grow and commenced business on September 6, 2007. Rise & Grow’s sole business is to act as a holding company for ZBDT.
1. Organization and Principal Activities (Continued)
ZBDT was formed by Rise & Grow for the purpose of developing computer and network software and related products and to promote the development of high-tech industries in the field of Chinese information technology. In compliance with the PRC’s foreign investment restrictions on Internet information services and other laws and regulations, ZBDT conducts all of our Internet information and media services and advertising in China through ZYTX, a domestic Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), as its primary beneficiary. It does this by controlling Beijing ZYTX Technology Co., Ltd (“ZYTX”), through an Exclusive Technical Consulting and Service Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) and related transaction documents dated as of September 28, 2007 (collectively, the “Service Agreements”).
According to the Consulting Agreement, ZBDT has the exclusive right to provide technical consulting and other services to ZYTX, effectively restricting and controlling the operations of ZYTX. Pursuant to Clause 1.3 of the Consulting Agreement, ZBDT, “shall be the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interests to any and all intellectual property rights arising from the performance of this Agreement (including but not limited to, copyrights, patent, know-how, commercial secrets and others), no matter whether it is developed by ZBDT or by ZYTX based on ZBDT’s intellectual property rights.” Thus, ZBDT could substantially, solely and exclusively possess all intellectual property of ZYTX which comprise the core value and assets of ZYTX (ultimately, solely and exclusively possessed by the Company).
According to the Equity Purchase Agreements by and between the owners of ZYTX, on the one hand, and ZBDT, on the other hand, ZBDT has the exclusive and irrevocable right to acquire 100% of the equity interests of ZYTX. Furthermore, the Equity Purchase Agreements also state that ZBDT has the right to control the operating activities and the shareholding structure of ZYTX.
In light of the above, ZBDT has a controlling interest in ZYTX based on the fact that:
| · | ZBDT has the ability to absorb all of the expected residual return from ZYTX, which makes ZBDT the primary beneficiary of ZYTX. In the event ZYTX fails to pay any required amounts, ZBDT could exercise its right to acquire certain pledged shares in ZYTX pursuant to a pledge agreement executed by and between ZYTX’s stockholders and ZBDT which guarantee all required payments; |
| · | ZBDT has the exclusive right to purchase all of the outstanding interests in ZYTX, which would make ZYTX a wholly-owned subsidiary of ZBDT when it’s allowable under the PRC regulation; |
| · | The Company’s CEO and the Chairman of the Board own all of the interests in ZYTX and also serve as ZYTX’s directors. Furthermore, such individuals oversee and run the business in ZYTX. As a result, the Company, through ZBDT, could exercise absolute influence over ZYTX. |
Arrangements with these business enterprises have been evaluated, and those in which ZYTX is determined to have controlling financial interest are consolidated. In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46”), and amended it by issuing FIN 46R in December 2003. FIN 46R addresses the consolidation of business enterprises to which the usual condition of consolidation (ownership of a majority voting interest) does not apply. This interpretation focuses on controlling financial interests that may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. It concludes that, in the absence of clear control through voting interests, a company’s exposure (variable interest) to the economic risks and potential rewards from the variable interest entity’s assets and activities are the best evidence of control. If an enterprise holds a majority of the variable interests of an entity, it would be considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the variable interest entity in its financial statements. Upon executing the Consulting Agreement and Service Agreements, the shareholders of ZYTX have granted their power of attorney to ZBDT for influence and control over ZYTX as its own company and ZYTX is considered a VIE and ZBDT is its primary beneficiary.
o Organization and Principal Activities (Continued)
ZYTX, an entity consolidated into the Company under FIN 46R, a company registered in the PRC on October 8, 2006, is an Internet e-business development, online advertisement publishing and related online servicing company, which focuses on the PRC insurance industry. With localized web sites targeting Greater China, ZYTX provides a platform through its web site, www.soobao.cn, to consumers, agents and insurance companies for online transaction, advertising, online inquiry, news circulation, statistic analysis and software development. ZYTX also provides online insurance agent services including car, property and life insurance to customers in the PRC.
On October 28, 2008, Rise & Grow and ZYTX entered into a Share Purchase Agreement which Rise & Grow acquired 100% ownership of Guang Hua Insurance Agency Company Limited (“GHIA”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC, through ZYTX to act as legal owner in China. GHIA is an insurance agent company which operates in the PRC. The consideration was US$5,846,244 (RMB$40,000,000) in cash. This share purchase transaction resulted in Rise & Grow obtaining 100% of the voting and beneficial interest in GHIA. Also see Note 13.
2. Restatement of Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company has restated its previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2008. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months then ended have been restated from amounts previously reported, and are included in this Form 10-Q/A for the three months and six ended December 31, 2008.
On August 20, 2009, after consultation with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company concluded that it had identified errors in its accounting related to the recording of the classification of the balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and the statement of cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2008.
In the previously filed Form 10-Q as of December 31, 2008, the Company incorrectly allocated part of the purchase price of GHIA to an insurance license, intangible asset, with an indefinite life. It was subsequently determined that the insurance license could not be separately sold from the company of GHIA and therefore, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations”, (“SFAS 141”), the amount should have been allocated to goodwill. At the time the Company initially filed its Form 10-Q for the balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, the classification of insurance license – indefinite life of $4,473,787 was not classified as goodwill of $4,473,787.
Accordingly, instead of reporting an intangible asset - insurance license of $4,473,787, the Company should have recorded goodwill of $4,473,787. This results in the classification of balance sheet having a goodwill of $4,473,787 as of December 31, 2008, as compared to previously reported intangible asset - insurance license of $4,473,787.

2. Restatement of Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
In relation to the statement of cash flows for the previously filed Form 10-Q for the six months ended December 31, 2008, the Company incorrectly included the repayment from a former shareholder of a company acquired on October 28, 2008 (“GHIA”) of $1,019,759 in the operating activities which should have been included in investing activities, pursuant to the cash flow classification guidance from the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flow”. At the time the Company initially filed its Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008, the operating activities inappropriately included and the investing activities excluded the repayment from the former shareholder of GHIA.
Accordingly, instead of reporting the repayment from the former shareholder of GHIA of $1,019,759 under operating activities, the Company should have recorded the repayment from the former shareholder of GHIA of $1,019,759 under investing activities. This results in a decrease of net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities to $2,804,856 and $4,805,537, respectively, as compared to previously reported net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities of $3,824,615 and $5,825,296, respectively.

3. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2008 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
4. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements included the accounts of CHIO and the following subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”):
| a) | Rise & Grow – 100% subsidiary of CHIO |
| b) | ZBDT – 100% subsidiary of Rise & Grow |
| d) | GHIA – 100% subsidiary of Rise & Grow through ZYTX. |
ZYTX and GHIA are the major components of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, representing over 99% of the assets and liabilities of the Company.
All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
5. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Economic and Political Risks
The Company's operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti−inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
(b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(c) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of financial instruments classified as current assets and current liabilities, such as accounts receivables, other receivables, prepayments and deposits, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(e) Revenue Recognition
Advertising
Advertising revenues are derived mainly from online advertising arrangements, which allow advertisers to place advertisements on particular areas of the Company’s web sites, in particular formats and over particular periods of time. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” advertising arrangements involving multiple deliverables are broken down into single-element arrangements based on their relative fair value for revenue recognition purposes, when possible.
For web site construction service, which is usually included in new advertising contract, revenue is recognized ratably over the displayed period, typically one year. For web site maintenance services, revenue is recognized ratably over the contact period, generally one year.
Under the guidance of the SOP 97-2 “Software Revenue Recognition”, as amended by SOP 98-9 “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions”, the Company determines vendor-specific objective evidence based on actual prices charged when the service is sold on a standalone basis.
5. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(e) Revenue Recognition (Continued)
Software Development
Software development revenue is recognized in accordance with SOP 97-2, when the outcome of a contract for software development can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and costs are charged to the income statement by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the balance sheet date, as measured by the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to estimated total costs for each contract. When the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Contract revenue is recognized to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. Where it is probable that the total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately.
Insurance Commissions
Insurance revenues, net of discounts, represent commissions earned from performing agency-related services. Insurance commissions are recognized at the later of the date when the customer is initially billed or the insurance policy effective date.
In accordance with EITF No. 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Product,” cash consideration given to customers or resellers, for which the Company does not receive a separately identifiable benefit or cannot reasonably estimate fair value, are accounted for as a reduction of revenue rather than as an expense.
Cash consideration includes discounts and other offers that entitle a customer to receive a reduction in the price of a product. For the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized $363,388 and $61,779, respectively, as a reduction of revenue for the discount offered to its customers.
(f) Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currencies of the Company are the Renminbi (“RMB”) and Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”). The financial statements are translated into United States dollars (“US$”) from RMB and US$ from HKD at period/year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.
| | December 31, 2008 | | | June 30, 2008 | | | December 31, 2007 | |
Period end RMB: US$ exchange rate | | | 6.8346 | | | | 6.8591 | | | | 7.3046 | |
Period average RMB: US$ exchange rate | | | 6.8477 | | | | 7.2753 | | | | 7.4894 | |
Period end HKD: US$ exchange rate | | | 7.7502 | | | | 7.7973 | | | | 7.7470 | |
Period average HKD: US$ exchange rate | | | 7.7748 | | | | 7.8081 | | | | 7.7273 | |
5. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(g) Goodwill
The goodwill of $4,473,787 resulted from the acquisition of GHIA (see Note 13).
In accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”), the total purchase price in a business combination is allocated to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the acquisition date, with amounts exceeding the fair values being recorded as goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, (“SFAS 142”), goodwill is not amortized. Instead, it is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired.
6. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 (R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 141 (R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. SFAS 141 (R) will significantly affect the accounting for future business combinations and we will determine the accounting as new combinations are determined.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51, which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests. Minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and will be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for us beginning July 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will apply retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 160 would have on the Company’s financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 161”), which amends SFAS No.133 and expands disclosures to include information about the fair value of derivatives, related credit risks and a company’s strategies and objectives for using derivatives. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the impact that SFAS No. 161 will have on the disclosures in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

9. Taxes
(a) Corporation Income Tax (“CIT”)
The Company has not recorded a provision for U.S. federal income taxes for the period ended December 31, 2008 due to the net operating loss carry forward in the United States.
On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China approved the new Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “New CIT Law”), which was effective from January 1, 2008. Prior to January 1, 2008, the CIT rate applicable to the Company’s subsidiary in the PRC was 33%. As from January 1, 2008, the applicable CIT rate for ZBDT, the wholly owned subsidiary, is 25%. For the period ended December 31, 2008, CIT for ZBDT was $1,591,491, which should be payable on April 30, 2009. However, after April 30, 2009, the Company is negotiating with the tax authority to extend or defer the payment of CIT. ZYTX, a VIE of the Company, enjoys a favorable tax rate of 15% as it is considered as a high technology company by the Chinese government. ZYTX is also entitled to a full exemption from CIT for the first two years from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008. Starting from January 1, 2009, the CIT rate of ZYTX will be 15%. ZYTX is exempted from CIT for the period ended December 31, 2008. The applicable CIT rate for GHIA is 25%. For the six months ended December 31, 2008, the CIT for ZBDT was $0 as GHIA has statutory losses carried forward.
Some of the tax concession granted to eligible companies prior to the new CIT law is grand fathered. The new CIT Law has an impact on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of the Company. The Company adjusted deferred tax balances as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 based on the current applicable tax rate and will continue to assess the impact of such new law in the future. Effects arising from the enforcement of the new CIT Law were reflected into the accounts by best estimates.
Pursuant to the Inland Revenue Ordinance of Hong Kong, Rise & Grow is subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax at 17.5% for both the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As Rise & Grow has no assessable profits for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, no provision for profits tax has been made.
Computed “expected” expense of the Company was calculated using 25% and 15% income tax rate for the six and three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company occupies office spaces leased from third parties. For the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized $155,859 and $27,193, respectively, as rental expense for these spaces. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has outstanding commitments with respect to non-cancelable operating leases as follows:
Year Ending June 30, | | Amount | |
2009 | | $ | 188,507 | |
2010 | | | 311,140 | |
2011 | | | 46,011 | |
| | $ | 545,658 | |
(b) Capital Commitments
The Company entered into an agreement of purchase of a software system to facilitate the operation of our insurance agency business amounting to $1,126,620 (Rmb7,700,000). For the six months ended December 31, 2008, the Company made a 65% prepayment of $733,303 (Rmb5,005,000). As of December 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding commitments with respect to this purchase agreement of $337,986 (Rmb2,310,000) and $56,331 (Rmb385,000) due on May 31, 2009 and August 20, 2009, respectively.
11. Certain Risks and Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
The Company has $2,588,629 and $4,562,222 in bank deposits in the banks in China, which constitutes about 99.7% and 99.9% of its total cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively. Historically, deposits in Chinese banks are secured due to the state policy on protecting depositors’ interests. However, China promulgated a new Bankruptcy Law in August 2006, which came into effect on June 1, 2007. The new Bankruptcy Law contains a separate article expressly stating that the State Council may promulgate implementation measures for the bankruptcy of Chinese banks. Under the new Bankruptcy Law, a Chinese bank may go bankrupt. In addition, since China’s concession to World Trade Organization, foreign banks have been gradually permitted to operate in China and have been severe competitors against Chinese banks in many aspects, especially since the opening of RMB businesses to foreign banks in late 2006.
Therefore, the risk of bankruptcy of the bank in which that the Company has deposits has increased. In the event of bankruptcy of the bank which holds the Company’s deposits, the Company is unlikely to recover its deposits back in full since it is unlikely to be classified as a secured creditor based on PRC laws.
Accounts receivable consist primarily of software development clients and insurance agents. As of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, there were approximately 17% and 35% for the software development and 81% and 64% for online insurance advertising, respectively. Regarding the Company’s online advertising and insurance agency operations, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of total net revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
The concentration of sales for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and accounts receivable at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 are summarized as below:
| | Sales | | | Accounts Receivable | |
| | December 31, 2008 | | | December 31, 2007 | | | December 31, 2008 | | | June 30, 2008 | |

Organizational Structure of Rise & Grow, ZBDT and ZYTX

Plan of Operation
Publicity and Promotion of Soobao
Since its inception, ZYTX has been making business preparations and development mainly in the Beijing area, with a sales mode focusing on marketing. The Company plans to continue to popularize www.soobao.cn and its insurance sales commission businesses in first and second-level cities across China. The Company plans to attempt to develop www.soobao.cn so that it is the largest network portal in China’s insurance industry and the first choice of network media for insurance companies to advertise and to promote their products and services. We are also planning to organize an insurance agency marketing program.
With respect to network promotion, we plan to set “hot-spot” key words for price competition of the relevant industries in popular search engines and release advertisements in the relevant columns of large portal websites. With respect to traditional media, we plan to launch an integrated vertical promotion by means of LCD televisions installed in office buildings, elevator advertisements, public buses, radio stations and airplane media so as to popularize the www.soobao.cn brand.
Technical Development Plan
Our technical development plan consists of (a) developing applications of new technologies aimed at the network portal to meet the clients’ demand in online transactions, member score accumulation and other new functions, (b) building a two-way bridge for insurance providers and customers based on development and application of insurance portal website (www.soobao.cn) while taking advantage of the Internet platform to connect traditional sales and marketing with e-commerce, (c) technical development aimed at comprehensive solutions in the Internet application field for insurance companies and insurance agencies, (d) the introduction of and continued R&D of a comprehensive life insurance real-time quotation system whereby all life insurance products may be thoroughly compared under certain scientific and quantifiable factors and (e) the introduction and continued R&D of an insurance statistical and data analysis system that can analyze a present and prospective customer’s “hot-points” of insurance through analyzing a large number of effective clicks.
Products and Services Plan
The Company intends to focus on its products and services in following areas:
| · | With respect to the Company’s motor vehicle insurance sales business, the Company plans to provide motor vehicle-owners more value-added services following the purchase of motor vehicle insurance and the Company plans to improve its membership club programs in the area of motor vehicle insurance; |

| · | Capitalize on our brand name and current influence in the Chinese insurance industry through www.soobao.cn in order to drive consumer sales. |
Nationwide Marketing Network Construction Plan
To carry out insurance sales more effectively and to supplement the function and effect of www.soobao.cn, ZYTX is in the process of constructing a comprehensive chain insurance supermarket entity whereby the Company intends to establish branch sales agency locations in key cities throughout China in the form of purchase or franchisee, and strive to establish a nationwide insurance marketing network system. ZYTX plans to set up subsidiaries and branches in every province and major city across China, provide prospective clients with a series of services such as one-to-one advisory on different products offered by different insurance companies, examination of life insurance, insurance site-sales, compensation and appreciation and claims settlement. As there will likely be many specialized clients in the transaction market, the Company plans to organize professional lectures on insurance, create an industry salon and release new products and services. It is our goal through such entity to (a) educate consumers with respect to insurance and insurance products, (b) provide objective and impartial information of each company’s product, (c) offer personalized insurance programs to consumers, (d) offer after-sale one-stop compensation services including improved efficiency with claims settlements and (e) offer exposure to www.soobao.cn and enjoy the network value-added services which are not offered through more traditional insurance consumption.
Purchase of Equipment
In light of the expanding insurance industry and in order to make web-browsing timely, smooth and secure, it will be necessary for the Company to continually upgrade the existing network portal hardware environment and to strengthen its network security inputs, while at the same time increase advertisement promotion related to network portal brand building. Therefore, we expect to purchase an estimated RMB 10 million (US$1.3 million) of equipment over the next twelve (12) months.
Employees
With the anticipated business growth and nationwide business development as discussed above, the Company plans to employ up to two hundred (200) employees in the following two (2) to three (3) years through external introduction and internal training.
Cash Requirements
As of the date of this report, all of our capital is equity capital and we do not have any debt financing with any bank or other financial institutions. We believe our capital is sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements. As our business develops, the Company may consider raising additional funds if conditions are suitable.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Economic and Political Risks
The Company's operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti−inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
(b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(c) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of financial instruments classified as current assets and current liabilities, such as accounts receivables, other receivables, prepayments and deposits, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(e) Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable and the balance has been outstanding over 90 days. As at December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had allowance for doubtful debts of $932,338 and Nil, respectively.
(f) Prepayments
Prepayments represent cash paid in advance for advertising and promotional campaigns, insurance policy management system, rental payments and various deposits.
| | December 31, 2008 | | | June 30, 2008 | | | Variance | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Prepayment | | | 782,411 | | | | 90 | % | | | 1,190,424 | | | | 93 | % | | | (408,013 | ) | | | (34 | )% |
Prepaid rents | | | - | | | | 0 | % | | | 64,929 | | | | 5 | % | | | (64,929 | ) | | | (100 | )% |
Deposits | | | 90,742 | | | | 10 | % | | | 29,610 | | | | 2 | % | | | 61,132 | | | | 206 | % |
| | | 873,153 | | | | 100 | % | | | 1,284,963 | | | | 100 | % | | | (411,810 | ) | | | (32 | )% |
Prepayment represents advance payment to a promotion service provider for promotion and brand building services which the Company commenced in May 2008 and the prepayment of the purchase of a software system for our insurance agency operations in November 2008. The advertising and promotion campaigns spread across several months through the end of year 2008. The Company charged the portion of the payment to the advertising costs for the period according to the completed progress of the project. The software system would facilitate the operation of our insurance agency business amounting to $1,126,620 (Rmb7,700,000). For the six months ended December 31, 2008, the Company made a 65% prepayment of $733,303 (Rmb5,005,000). As of December 31, 2008, the Company has outstanding commitments with respect to this purchase agreement of $337,986 (Rmb2,310,000) and $56,331 (Rmb385,000) due on May 31, 2009 and August 20, 2009, respectively.
Prepaid rents represent rents prepaid to the landlords, for the period from one to eleven months in accordance with the operating lease agreements, for the offices of the Company.
Deposits represent various deposits such as water and renovation deposits paid for the offices of the Company.
This decrease in prepayment was mainly caused by charging of promotion campaign expenses from the prepayment account to the advertising costs in the profit and loss account according to the progress of the completion of the advertising and promotion campaign during the six months ended December 31, 2008.
(g) Fixed assets
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are five years for motor vehicles, furniture and fixtures, computers and equipment. For the leasehold improvements, deprecation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease term, whichever is shorter.
(h) Software
Software is carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is seven years. During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company acquired two sets of application software, one is an insurance policy management system and the other is a website streaming system. Both sets of application software are used for internal operations to enhance the Company’s online insurance agency business. The total amount of the software was $2,813,780, and the software was purchased from independent third-parties. None of the software was internally developed nor was there any internal cost that was capitalized for the software. Based on the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, the Company capitalized all the external direct cost of services in obtaining the computer software. Software is periodically reviewed for impairment, considering whether indicators are present which would affect the recoverability from future operations. The undiscounted cash flows projection was used in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Live Assets”. To the extent the carrying value exceeds fair value, an impairment loss is recognized. No impairment was recorded for the period ended December 31, 2008 and the year ended June 30, 2008.
(i) Intangible asset
The goodwill of $4,473,787 resulted from the acquisition of GHIA.
In accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”), the total purchase price in a business combination is allocated to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the acquisition date, with amounts exceeding the fair values being recorded as goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, (“SFAS 142”), goodwill is not amortized. Instead, it is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired.
(i) Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue primarily comprises of contractual billings in excess of recognized revenue and payments received in advance of revenue recognition.
(j) Revenue Recognition
Advertising
Advertising revenues are derived mainly from online advertising arrangements, which allow advertisers to place advertisements on particular areas of the Company’s web sites, in particular formats and over particular periods of time. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” advertising arrangements involving multiple deliverables are broken down into single-element arrangements based on their relative fair value for revenue recognition purposes, when possible.
For web site construction service, which is usually included in new advertising contract, revenue is recognized ratably over the displayed period, typically one year. For web site maintenance services, revenue is recognized ratably over the contact period, generally one year.
Under the guidance of the SOP 97-2 “Software Revenue Recognition”, as amended by SOP 98-9 “Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions”, the Company determines vendor-specific objective evidence based on actual prices charged when the service is sold on a standalone basis.
Software Development
Software development revenue is recognized in accordance with SOP 97-2, when the outcome of a contract for software development can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and costs are charged to the income statement by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the balance sheet date, as measured by the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to estimated total costs for each contract. When the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Contract revenue is recognized to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. When it is probable that the total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately.
Insurance Commissions
Insurance revenues, net of discounts, represent commissions earned from performing agency-related services. Insurance commissions are recognized at the later of the date when the customer is initially billed or the insurance policy effective date.
In accordance with EITF No. 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Product,” cash consideration given to customers or resellers, for which the Company does not receive a separately identifiable benefit or cannot reasonably estimate fair value, are accounted for as a reduction of revenue rather than as an expense.
Cash consideration includes discounts and other offers that entitle a customer to receive a reduction in the price of a product. For the periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized $363,388 and $61,779, respectively, as a reduction of revenue for the discount offered to its customers.
(k) Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currencies of the Company are the Renminbi (“RMB”) and Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”). The financial statements are translated into United States dollars (“US$”) from RMB and US$ from HKD at period/year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

(l) Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for campaigns that spread across several months are charged to the profit and loss account according to the progress of the campaigns completed. Differences between amounts paid to promotion service providers in advance for which advertising work has not been completed are included in the prepayment account on the balance sheet. Advertising costs charged to the profit and loss account were $1,901,068 and $0 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Advertising costs are grouped under selling expenses in the profit and loss account.
(m) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability approach. Deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future utilization is uncertain.
(n) Reserve Fund
In 2008, a subsidiary of the Company in China transferred 15% of their PRC profit after taxation to the surplus reserve fund. Subject to certain restrictions set out in the PRC Companies Law, the surplus reserve fund may be distributed to shareholders in the form of share bonus issues and/or cash dividends. The Company’s retained earnings in the amount of $315,584 and Nil is restricted as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for the surplus reserve fund.
(o) Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income should be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s only current component of comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.
(p) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive securities outstanding for the periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combination,. SFAS No. 141 (R) requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 141 (R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. SFAS 141 (R) will significantly affect the accounting for future business combinations and we will determine the accounting as new combinations occur.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries’ non-parent owners be clearly presented in the equity section of the balance sheet; requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; requires that changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently; requires that when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured using the fair value of any noncontrolling equity; requires that entities provide disclosures that clearly identify the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. FAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide disclosures about (a) how and why derivative instruments are used, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FAS No. 161 is effective January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this statement.

Revenues
The Company’s consolidated revenue rose to $3,876,754 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, a 31% increase from $2,954,064 reported for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The consolidated net revenue rose to $3,580,301 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, a 24% increase from $2,892,285 reported for the three months ended December 31, 2007.
The increase in revenue can be attributed to the significant increase in online insurance advertising services.

The significant increase in online insurance advertising services is a result of the significant increase in the number of insurance agents that place advertisements on the Company’s website. There were 76 teams of insurance agents that placed advertisements on the Company’s website during the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to 50 teams during the three months ended December 31, 2007. Each team of insurance agents includes a number of individual insurance agents. Each individual insurance agent signed an advertisement contract with the Company. There were 186 contracts in effect during the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to 134 contracts in effect during the three months ended December 31, 2007. Online insurance advertising revenue increased by 104% or $1,813,526 to $3,565,037 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $1,751,511 for the three months ended December 31, 2007.
The decrease in software development projects during the three months ended December 31, 2008 of 99% or $1,130,219 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007 was due to the significant decrease in the number of software development projects. Only one small software development project was completed for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to three projects there were completed for the three months ended December 31, 2007. This is the result of customers that are assessing the impact of the global financial crisis and most of their expansion or improvement plans were postponed or delayed.
Our insurance agency services had a significant increase of $239,383 or 415%, to $297,068 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $57,685 for the same period of 2007. This is mainly the result of the acquisition of the insurance agency company, GHIA, by the end of October 2008. It also results from the Company’s advertising and promotion campaign.
Cost of Sales
The Company’s consolidated cost of sales (“COS”) increased $224,828 or 173% to $354,557 or 10% of net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2008, from $129,729 or 4% of net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The increase in COS is attributed to the significant increase in revenues and accordingly the enlarged scale of operations to meet the operational needs. The business tax for the inter-company transactions was $83,060 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, which was generated from the consultancy services fee paid by our VIE, ZYTX, to its primary beneficiary, ZBDT.

The increase in gross profit is attributable to the significant increase in revenues from online insurance advertising.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses were $81,619 or 2% of net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $35,227 or 1% of net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2007.

The slight decrease in cash flows from operating activities was attributable to the net effect of the benefits obtained from the Company’s operating activities and the expenses on online insurance advertising. The major components of the operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2009 include the net income of $3,245,270 and the net effect of the increase of accounts receivable of $4,526,206, which the Company extended the credit period to customers, and an increase of taxes payable of $1,599,290.

For the six months ended December 31, 2008, cash provided by financing activities was $1,019,836, which represented an increase of $1,019,836 or 100%, as compared to $0 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. The current period amount represented an advance from a director to the Company for the operating expenses of Rise & Grow of $77.
Liquidity
The primary source of liquidity had been cash generated from operations, which included cash inflows from currency translation activities. Historically, the primary liquidity requirements were for capital expenditures, working capital and investments. Our contractual obligations, commitments and debt service requirements over the next 12 months are not significant. However, the Company has a tax payable of $4,508,167, which was due on April 30, 2009. As a result of the financial crisis, the Company is negotiating with the tax authority for the extension or deferral of the payment of taxation to reduce the impact on the liquidity of the Company. The Company is awaiting for the reply and confirmation from the tax authority.
Our primary source of liquidity will continue to be cash generated from operations as well as existing cash on hand. We may look for the credit facilities to assist, if required, in meeting our working capital needs and other contractual obligations.
We believe our current cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will satisfy our expected working capital and other requirements for the foreseeable future based on current business strategy and expansion plan. We believe we will have available resources to meet our short-term liquidity requirements.
As of December 31, 2008, all of our capital is equity capital and we have not made any debt financing with any bank or other financial institutions. We believe our capital is sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements in the next twelve months. As for our business development, the Company may consider raising additional funds for the following future business plans if conditions are suitable:
1) To expand our Beijing office and upgrade our network operating environment;
2) To expand our online insurance sales supermarket; and
3) To expand our operations in different cities in the PRC; and
4) To acquire equipment to continually upgrade the existing network portal hardware environment and to strengthen its network security inputs; and,
5) To acquire companies which would add value to our business expansion.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to certain market risks that in the ordinary course of business. The Company may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions to manage or reduce market risk. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instrument transactions for trading purpose. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. A discussion of the Company’s primary market risk exposure and credit risk is presented below.
The Company had $2,588,629 and $4,562,222 in bank deposits in the banks in China, which constitutes about 99.7% and 99.9% of its total cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively. Historically, deposits in Chinese banks are secured due to the state policy on protecting depositors’ interests. However, China promulgated a new Bankruptcy Law in August 2006, which came into effect on June 1, 2007. The new Bankruptcy Law contains a separate article expressly stating that the State Council may promulgate implementation measures for the bankruptcy of Chinese banks. Under the new Bankruptcy Law, a Chinese bank may go bankrupt. In addition, since China’s concession to World Trade Organization, foreign banks have been gradually permitted to operate in China and have been severe competitors against Chinese banks in many aspects, especially since the opening of Renminbi business to foreign banks in late 2006.
Therefore, the risk of bankruptcy of the bank in which that the Company has deposits has increased. In the event of bankruptcy of the bank which holds the Company’s deposits, the Company is unlikely to recover its deposits back in full since it is unlikely to be classified as a secured creditor based on PRC laws.
Accounts receivable consist primarily of software development clients and insurance agents. As of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, approximately 17% and 35% accounts receivable were related to our software development business, and 81% and 64% for our insurance agency business, respectively. Regarding our online advertising and insurance agency business operations, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of total net revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (RESTATED)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer participated with our management in evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008.
In our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2008 filed on February 16, 2009, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2008. In connection with the restatement of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2008, as described in Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed a reevaluation and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2008 as a result of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed below.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As of December 31, 2008, we did not maintain effective controls to ensure the accuracy of the classification of the accounts of goodwill and repayment from the former shareholder of a company acquired on October 28, 2008. Specifically, we did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with the required proficiency to identify, evaluate, review and report complex accounting matters. This deficiency resulted in an error to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2008, as more fully described in Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
In light of the material weakness described above, we have performed additional analyses and other post-closing procedures to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Based in part on these additional efforts, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have included their certifications as exhibits to this Form 10-Q/A.
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As described above with respect to the material weakness identified, there have been changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
As a result of the material weakness, we continue to review and make changes to improve our internal control over financial reporting, including but not limited to, the hiring of additional personnel having sufficient knowledge and experience to strengthen the controls around the financial reporting or the engagement of outside accounting specialists to assist us with the preparation and review of the financial statements, as well as enhancing the review process associated with the preparation of the financial statements.
Management has not yet implemented all of the measures described above and/or tested them. We continue to evaluate our internal controls over financial reporting and may in the future modify these measures or implement additional measures.
