PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Overview

YOU On Demand is a premium content Video On Demand (“VOD”) service provider with primary operations in the People’s Republic of China. YOU On Demand Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 19, 2004.

YOU On Demand, through its subsidiaries and variable interest entity, provides premium content and integrated value-added service solutions for the delivery of VOD and paid video programming to digital cable providers, Internet Protocol Television (“IPTV”) providers, Over-the-Top (“OTT”) streaming providers, mobile manufacturers and operators, as well as direct customers. By leveraging and optimizing its existing operations, we have positioned ourselves to evolve into a mobile-driven, “new media” platform for both enterprises and consumers.

We launched our VOD service through acquisition of YOD Hong Kong, formerly Sinotop Group Limited, in July 30, 2010. Through a series of contractual arrangements, YOD WFOE, the subsidiary of YOD Hong Kong, controls Sinotop Beijing, a corporation established in the PRC. Sinotop Beijing is the 80% owner of Zhong Hai Video, the entity though which we provide: 1) integrated value-added business-to-business (“B2B”) service solutions for the delivery of VOD and enhanced premium content for digital cable; 2) integrated value-added business-to-business-to-customer (“B2B2C”) service solutions for the delivery of VOD and enhanced premium content for IPTV and OTT providers and; 3) direct to user, or B2C, mobile video service apps. As a result of the contractual arrangements with Sinotop Beijing, we have the right to control management decisions and direct the economic activities that most significantly impact Sinotop Beijing and Zhong Hai Video, and, accordingly, under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), we consolidate these operating entities in our consolidated financial statements.

Our OTT, Mobile App, IPTV and Digital Cable VOD Businesses

YOU On Demand is a leading multi-platform entertainment company delivering premium content, including leading Hollywood and China-produced movie titles as well as children’s programming, to customers’ mobile and TV screens across China via Subscription Video On Demand (“SVOD”) and Transactional Video On Demand (“TVOD”) paid content services. The Company’s current distribution partners include digital cable operators, IPTV operators, OTT streaming operators and mobile smartphone manufacturers and operators. Our subscribers can watch our content anytime, anywhere and have full DVD-like control as they can play, pause and resume watching, all without commercial and advertising interruptions. Our core revenues are being generated from both minimum guarantee payments and revenue sharing arrangements with our distribution partners as well as subscription or transactional fees from our subscribers.

We have distribution agreements with several OTT, IPTV and mobile distributors, manufacturers and operators. In 2015, the YOU Cinema movie subscription service made its commercial debut on the Xiaomi OTT set-top box as part of YOU On Demand’s previously announced distribution deal with China Network Television's (“CNTV”) subsidiary, Future TV Co. Ltd. (the official online division of Chinese national public broadcaster China Central Television [“CCTV”]). Other distribution partners of ours include: Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology solutions provider and one of the largest global smartphone manufacturers; Dr. Peng Telecom and Media Group, Ltd and its OTT box, the Domy Box; Southern Media Corporation’s 3GTV mobile video platform which currently serves 6 million subscribers through China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom in Guangdong, a province which has the largest mobile service and movie box office in China

Specifically, for digital cable, through the acquisition of YOD Hong Kong and its VIE, Sinotop Beijing, YOU On Demand has an exclusive 20-year joint venture (approximately 15 years remaining) with CCTV-6's China Home Cinema (“CHC”), making us the first national VOD platform in China. We operate under a national government license obtained by CHC to serve as their exclusive agent in the PRC for operating and marketing TVOD, SVOD, Near Video On Demand (“NVOD”) and related Value-Added Services (“VAS”).

YOU On Demand has and continues to license increasing amounts of entertainment and educational content that enables our subscribers to enjoy premium and diverse entertainment directly on their mobile and TV screens. We have content agreements with Disney Media Distribution, Paramount Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution, NBC Universal, Miramax Films, Lionsgate, Screen Media Ventures, among other independent studios.

Recent Developments

In November 2015, we entered into a series of agreements with Beijing Sun Seven Stars Culture Development Limited (“SSS”), a PRC company, and its affiliate Tianjin Enternet Network Technology Limited (“Tianjin Enternet”), which were later amended and restated in December 2015. Under the agreements with SSS, among other things, (i) SSS purchased 4,545,454 shares of our common stock for $2.20 per share, or total purchase price of $10.0 million, (ii) we issued a two-year warrant to SSS to acquire an additional 1,818,182 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share, and (iii) we were granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free content distribution right for certain assets valued at approximately $29.1 million, in exchange for a promissory note that is convertible into 9,208,860 shares of common stock. The promissory note has a stated principal amount of $17.7 million, bears interest at the rate of 0.56% per annum and matures May 21, 2016. In the event of default, the promissory note will become immediately due and payable. As of December 31, 2015, no shares, warrants or promissory note was issued by the Company as the transaction was subject to certain closing conditions. On March 28, 2016, we completed this transaction with SSS.

Until receipt of necessary shareholder approvals for the transactions contemplated by these agreements, SSS’s warrant may not be exercised and the promissory note may not be converted, to the extent that such conversion would result in SSS and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 19.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Once the necessary shareholder approval is received, the unpaid principal and interest on the promissory note will automatically convert into shares of common stock. If shareholder approval is obtained, SSS and its affiliates will own 33.7% of our outstanding shares of common stock, after taking into account the warrants and conversion of promissory note.

In addition, we purchased the equity interest in a newly formed subsidiary of Tianjin Enternet, Tianjin Sevenstarsflix Network Technology Limited (“SSF”), that will offer a branded pay content service delivered to consumers ubiquitously through all its platform partners, will track and share consumer payments and other behavior data, will operate a customer management and data-based service and will develop mobile social TV-based customer management portals. In exchange for the sale of the equity interest in SSF and subject to certain conditions and performance thresholds, Tianjin Enternet will receive shares of our common stock over three years, with the exact amount based on an earn-out provision, such amounts not to exceed 5.0 million shares of common stock for each of 2016, 2017 and 2018. The issuance of such earn out shares is subject to certain shareholder approvals. In the event we do not obtain such approvals before applicable target thresholds have been met, we will not issue shares of common stock to Tianjin Enternet, but will instead issue a promissory note to Tianjin Enternet, with a principal amount equal to the quotient obtained by multiplying 5.0 million by our applicable stock price as defined in the promissory note. As of December 31, 2015, the transfer of SSF to the Company was still subject to certain closing conditions.

In the event that the entire amount of earn out shares are received by Tianjin Enternet, SSS and its affiliates will then own approximately 49.9% of our outstanding shares of common stock, after taking into account the warrants and conversion of promissory note.

For a more detailed description of the agreements with SSS and its affiliates, see our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on November 24 and December 24, 2015, respectively, as well as Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report.

VIE Structure and Arrangements

On July 30, 2010, we acquired YOD Hong Kong through CB Cayman. Through a series of contractual arrangements, we control Sinotop Beijing. Sinotop Beijing, a corporation established in the PRC, is the 80% owner of Zhong Hai Video, which was established to provide integrated value-added service solutions for the delivery of VOD, PPV and enhanced premium content for digital cable, IPTV and OTT providers, mobile manufacturers and operators, as well as direct customers.

In March 2010, YOD Hong Kong entered into a management services agreement with Sinotop Beijing pursuant to which Sinotop Beijing pays consulting and service fees, equal to 100% of net profits of Sinotop Beijing, to YOD Hong Kong for various management, technical, consulting and other services in connection with its business. Payment of the fees under the management services agreement is secured through an equity pledge agreement, dated June 4, 2012, by and among Sinotop Beijing, YOD WFOE and the sole shareholder of Sinotop Beijing, pursuant to which the sole shareholder of Sinotop Beijing pledged all equity interests in Sinotop Beijing to YOD WFOE. In addition, on June 4, 2012, YOD WFOE entered into a voting rights agreement with Sinotop Beijing and the sole shareholder of Sinotop Beijing, whereby YOD WFOE was entrusted with all of the voting rights of the sole shareholder of Sinotop Beijing. Through these contractual arrangements, we acquired control over and rights to 100% of the economic benefit of Sinotop Beijing. Accordingly, Sinotop Beijing is considered a VIE and, therefore, is consolidated in our financial statements.

On January 22, 2016, the Company entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Sinotop Beijing and Zhang Yan to terminate certain contractual arrangements, including the Option Agreement, dated March 9, 2010, among YOD HK, Sinotop Beijing and Zhang Yan, the sole shareholder of Sinotop Beijing, the Termination, Assignment and Assumption Agreement among YOD HK, YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing and Zhang Yan dated June 4, 2012, Voting Rights Proxy Agreement among YOD HK, YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing and Zhang Yan dated June 4, 2012, Equity Pledge Agreement among YOD HK, YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing and Zhang Yan dated June 4, 2012 and Power of Attorney Agreement among YOD HK, YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing and Zhang Yan dated June 4, 2012 (collectively, the “Old Sinotop VIE Agreements”). On January 25, 2016, Zhang Yan entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement with Bing Wu and Yun Zhu, whereby Zhang Yan transferred 100% of her equity ownership in Sinotop Beijing to Bing Wu and Yun Zhu. The equity transfer application was accepted by the State Administration of Industry and Commerce (“SAIC”) on March 30, 2016 and became effective upon acceptance. Upon the conclusion of the transfer arrangement, Bing Wu and Yun Zhu will hold 95% and 5%, respectively, of equity ownership in Sinotop Beijing.

On the same day, the Company entered into the following contractual arrangements with Bing Wu and Yun Zhu (collectively, the “New Sinotop VIE Agreements”), also effective on March 30, 2016 when the above mentioned transfer arrangements were approved by the SAIC:

  • Call Option Agreement among YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing, Bing Wu and Yun Zhu, dated as of January 25, 2016.

  • Equity Pledge Agreement among YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing, Bing Wu and Yun Zhu, dated as of January 25, 2016.

  • Power of Attorney agreements among YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing and Bing Wu and YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing and Yun Zhu, both dated as of January 25, 2016.

  • Technical Service Agreement among YOD WFOE and Sinotop Beijing, dated as of January 25, 2016.

  • Spousal Consent by the spouse of Bing Wu and Yun Zhu, respectively, both dated January 25, 2016.

  • Letter of Indemnification among YOD WFOE and Bing Wu and YOD WFOE and Yun Zhu, both dated as of January 25, 2016.

The terms of the New Sinotop VIE Agreements are detailed as follows:

Call Option Agreement

The term of the Technical Services Agreement is perpetual, and may only be terminated upon written consent of both parties.

The Spouses further pledge to execute all necessary documents and take all necessary actions to ensure appropriate performance under these agreements upon YOD WFOE’s request. In the event the Spouses obtain any equity interests of Sinotop Beijing which are held by the Nominee Shareholders, the Spouses agreed to be bound by the New Sinotop VIE Agreements, including the Technical Services Agreement, and comply with the obligations thereunder, including sign a series of written documents in substantially the same format and content as the New Sinotop VIE Agreements.

YOD WFOE further waived and released Nominee Shareholders from any claims arising from, or related to, their role as the legal shareholder of Sinotop Beijing, provided that their actions as a nominee shareholder are taken in good faith and are not opposed to YOD WFOE’s best interests. Conversely, the Nominee Shareholders will not be entitled to dividends or other benefits generated therefrom, or receive any compensation in connection with this arrangement. The Letter of Indemnification will remain valid until either Nominee Shareholders or YOD WFOE terminates the agreement by giving the other party hereto sixty (60) days’ prior written notice.

In addition, the Management Service Agreement between Sinotop Beijing and YOD Hong Kong, dated as of March 9, 2010 continued to remain in effect, the key terms of which is as follows:

Management Services Agreement

Pursuant to a Management Services Agreement, as of March 9, 2010, between Sinotop Beijing and YOD Hong Kong (the “Management Services Agreement”), YOD Hong Kong has the exclusive right to provide to Sinotop Beijing management, financial and other services related to the operation of Sinotop Beijing’s business, and Sinotop Beijing is required to take all commercially reasonable efforts to permit and facilitate the provision of the services by YOD Hong Kong. As compensation for providing the services, YOD Hong Kong is entitled to receive a fee from Sinotop Beijing, upon demand, equal to 100% of the annual net profits of Sinotop Beijing during the term of the Management Services Agreement. YOD Hong Kong may also request ad hoc quarterly payments of the aggregate fee, which payments will be credited against Sinotop Hong Kong’s future payment obligations.

The Management Services Agreement also provides YOD Hong Kong, or its designee, with a right of first refusal to acquire all or any portion of the equity of Sinotop Beijing upon any proposal by the sole shareholder of Sinotop Beijing to transfer such equity. In addition, at the sole discretion of YOD Hong Kong, Sinotop Beijing is obligated to transfer to YOD Hong Kong, or its designee, any part or all of the business, personnel, assets and operations of Sinotop Beijing which may be lawfully conducted, employed, owned or operated by YOD Hong Kong, including:

(a) business opportunities presented to, or available to Sinotop Beijing may be pursued and contracted for in the name of YOD Hong Kong rather than Sinotop Beijing, and at its discretion, YOD Hong Kong may employ the resources of Sinotop Beijing to secure such opportunities;

(b) any tangible or intangible property of Sinotop Bejing, any contractual rights, any personnel, and any other items or things of value held by Sinotop Beijing may be transferred to YOD Hong Kong at book value;

(c) real property, personal or intangible property, personnel, services, equipment, supplies and any other items useful for the conduct of the business may be obtained by YOD Hong Kong by acquisition, lease, license or otherwise, and made available to Sinotop Beijing on terms to be determined by agreement between YOD Hong Kong and Sinotop Beijing;

(d) contracts entered into in the name of Sinotop Beijing may be transferred to YOD Hong Kong, or the work under such contracts may be subcontracted, in whole or in part, to YOD Hong Kong, on terms to be determined by agreement between YOD Hong Kong and Sinotop Beijing; and

(e) any changes to, or any expansion or contraction of, the business may be carried out in the exercise of the sole discretion of YOD Hong Kong, and in the name of and at the expense of, YOD Hong Kong; provided, however, that none of the foregoing may cause or have the effect of terminating (without being substantially replaced under the name of YOD Hong Kong) or adversely affecting any license, permit or regulatory status of Sinotop Beijing.

The term of the Management Services Agreement is 20 years, and may not be terminated by Sinotop Beijing, except with the consent of, or a material breach by, YOD Hong Kong.

Although the New Sinotop VIE Agreements resulted in a change to the legal shareholders of Sinotop Beijing, it does not change YOD WFOE’s ability to control Sinotop Beijing or YOD WFOE’s rights to the economic benefits of Sinotop Beijing. YOD WFOE was the primary beneficiary of Sinotop Beijing prior to the signing of the New Sinotop VIE Agreements and remained as the primary beneficiary of Sinotop Beijing after the signing of the New Sinotop VIE Agreements.

The foregoing description of the New Sinotop VIE Agreements is not purported to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of such agreements attached to this Annual Report as Exhibits 10.33 through 10.39.

Our Unconsolidated Equity Investment

We hold 30% ownership interest in Shandong Media, our print-based media business, and account for our investment in Shandong Media under the equity method. The business of Shandong Media includes a television programming guide publication, the distribution of periodicals, the publication of advertising, the organization of public relations events, the provision of information related services, copyright transactions, the production of audio and video products, and the provision of audio value added communication services.

Our Industry

Mobile

China's smartphone market is now the world's largest. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), 107.5 million smartphones were shipped to China in the fourth quarter of 2014, representing a 2% Quarter-on-Quarter growth. This is in accumulation to the 420.7 million smartphones being shipped to China in 2014 alone. In addition, China’s three mobile telecom carriers have created a new company, China Tower, which will take over ownership of the three firms’ telecom infrastructure while ambitiously planning to build 1 million new towers in the next two years. The coming physical improvements to the network are meant to accommodate the expansion of 4G mobile services.

OTT & IPTV

China plans to invest 2 trillion yuan ($323 billion) to improve its broadband infrastructure by 2020 with the aim of taking the nearly entire population online, according to the Ministry of Information and Industry on the government’s official website www.gov.cn. The government is trying to improve fixed-line and wireless connectivity throughout China, where only 45 percent of the population have Internet access. China's broadband strategy will ensure that the number of 3G and LTE users will increase to 1.2 billion by 2020, four times of the current figure.

Cable

Until 2005, there were over 3,000 independent cable operators in the PRC. While the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (“SAPPRFT”), an executive branch under the State Council of the PRC, has advocated for national consolidation of the country’s sprawling cable networks, the consolidation has primarily occurred at the provincial level. The 30 provinces are highly variable in their consolidation efforts and processes. To expedite consolidation, SAPPRFT announced in 2010 that it would permit and encourage state-owned cable operators to expand and consolidate through mergers and acquisitions. We believe that as consolidation proceeds it will smooth the way to two-way digitization through common technical standards.

We believe that SAPPRFT and its broadcasters are currently focusing on increasing subscription revenues by converting Chinese television viewers from “analog” service to “digital” (pay TV) service. The digitalization efforts include providing upgraded digital set-top-boxes free of charge that will provide the bandwidth to deliver pay channels and services beyond the basic tier as part of a digital television service bundling initiative.

10


Our Competition

The market for video entertainment is subject to continuous change and aggressive competition. Our primary competitors include Internet-based content providers and the DVD market, both of which include those that provide legal and pirated (illegal) content. Specifically, our primary competitors include companies that operate online video websites in China where we compete with these entities for customers and users. Some of these competitors include iQiyi.com, Youku, Tencent and Sohu. As far as digital cable distribution, although we can provide no assurances that other companies will not enter the market of providing such services, we believe that we will have a competitive advantage over any new market entrant because of our exclusive joint venture partnership with CCTV-6’s pay channel, CHC, and first to market advantage. We also have some indirect competition from the pirated DVD market.

Intellectual Property

We are not a party to any royalty agreements, labor contracts or franchise agreements. We own the trademark “YOU On Demand” and “( 优点互动 ) ” which are both registered in the PRC.  The duration of our trademarks is ten years and trademarks are generally subject to an indefinite number of renewals upon appropriate application.

Our Employees

As of December 31, 2015, we had a total of 51 full-time employees including one located in the United States. The following table sets forth the number of our employees by function at December 31, 2015.

Function   Number of Employees
Business Development   6
Service Operations   9
Technology   11
Content Production   10
Financial and Legal   8
Human Resource   2
Administrative   5
TOTAL   51

Our employees are not represented by a labor organization or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages.

We are required under PRC law to make contributions to employee benefit plans at specified percentages of after-tax profit. In addition, we are required by the PRC law to cover employees in China with various types of social insurance. We believe that we are in compliance with the relevant PRC laws.

Seasonality

Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to seasonal variations. This pattern may change, however, as a result of new market opportunities or new product introductions.

Regulation

General Regulation of Businesses

Our PRC-based operating subsidiaries and VIE is regulated by the national and local laws of the PRC. The radio and television broadcasting industries are highly regulated in China. Local broadcasters including national, provincial and municipal radio and television broadcasters are 100% state-owned assets. SAPPRFT regulates the radio and television broadcasting industry in China. In China, the radio and television broadcasting industries are designed to serve the needs of government programming first, and to make profits second. The SAPPRFT and the upper level government bodies controls broadcasting assets and broadcasting content in China.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (“MIIT”) plays a similar role to SAPPRFT in the telecom industry in China. China’s telecom industry is comparatively more deregulated than the broadcasting industry. While China’s telecom industry has substantial financial backing, SAPPRFT, and its regulator, the Propaganda Ministry under China’s Communist Party Central Committee, never relinquished ultimate regulatory control over content and broadcasting control.

11


The major internet regulatory barrier for cable operators to migrate into multiple-system operators and to be able to offer telecom services is the license barrier. Few independent cable operators in China are able to acquire full and proper broadband connection licenses from MIIT. The licenses, while awarded by MIIT, are given on very-fragmented regional market levels. With cable operators holding the last mile to access end users, cable operators are believed to pose a competitive threat to local telecom carriers. While internet connection licenses are deregulated to even the local private sector, MIIT still tries to utilize the relevant licenses as a barrier to entry from cable operators that fall under the administration  of SAPPRFT.

We are required to obtain government approval from the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China (“MOFCOM”), and other government agencies in China for transactions such as our acquisition or disposition of business entities in China. Additionally, foreign ownership of business and assets in China is not permitted without specific government approval. For this reason, Sinotop Beijing was acquired through our acquisition of YOD Hong Kong, which controls Sinotop Beijing through a series of contractual agreements with YOD Hong Kong and YOD WFOE. We use voting control agreements among the parties so as to obtain equitable and legal ownership or control of our subsidiaries and VIE.

Taxation

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China passed the EIT Law, and on November 28, 2007, the State Council of China passed its implementing rules which took effect on January 1, 2008. The EIT Law and its implementing rules impose a unified earned income tax (“EIT”) rate of 25.0% on all domestic-invested enterprises and foreign invested enterprises (“FIEs”) unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions. In addition, under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a resident enterprise and will normally be subject to an EIT of 25% on its global income. The implementing rules define the term “de facto management bodies” as “an establishment that exercises, in substance, overall management and control over the production, business, personnel, accounting, etc., of a Chinese enterprise.” If the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that we should be classified as a resident enterprise, then our organization’s global income will be subject to PRC income tax of 25%. For detailed discussion of PRC tax issues related to resident enterprise status, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Doing Business in China – Under the New Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China.” Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders.”

Foreign Currency Exchange

All of our sales revenue and significant expenses are denominated in RMB. Under the PRC foreign currency exchange regulations applicable to us, RMB is convertible for current account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest payments, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions. Currently, our PRC operating entities may purchase foreign currencies for settlement of current account transactions, including payments of dividends to us, without the approval of the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), by complying with certain procedural requirements. Conversion of RMB for capital account items, such as direct investment, loan, security investment and repatriation of investment, however, is still subject to the approval of SAFE. In particular, if our PRC operating entities borrow foreign currency through loans from us or other foreign lenders, these loans must be registered with SAFE, and if we finance the subsidiaries by means of additional capital contributions, these capital contributions must be approved by certain government authorities, including the MOFCOM, or their respective local branches. These limitations could affect our PRC operating entities’ ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing.

12


Dividend Distributions

All of our revenues are earned by our PRC entities. However, PRC regulations restrict the ability of our PRC entities to make dividends and other payments to their offshore parent company. PRC legal restrictions permit payments of dividends by our PRC entities only out of their accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Each of our PRC subsidiaries is also required under PRC laws and regulations to allocate at least 10% of our annual after-tax profits determined in accordance with PRC GAAP to a statutory general reserve fund until the amounts in such fund reaches 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Our PRC subsidiaries have the discretion to allocate a portion of their after-tax profits to staff welfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.

In addition, under the new EIT law, the Notice of the State Administration of Taxation on Negotiated Reduction of Dividends and Interest Rates (“Notice 112”), which was issued on January 29, 2008, and the Notice of the State Administration of Taxation Regarding Interpretation and Recognition of Beneficial Owners under Tax Treaties (“Notice 601”), which became effective on October 27, 2009, dividends from our PRC operating subsidiaries paid to us through our entities will be subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 10%. Furthermore, the ultimate tax rate will be determined by treaty between the PRC and the tax residence of the holder of the PRC subsidiary. Dividends declared and paid from before January 1, 2008 on distributable profits are grandfathered under the EIT Law and are not subject to withholding tax.

The Company intends on reinvesting profits, if any, and does not intend on making cash distributions of dividends in the near future.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company may be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described below. Any one or more of such factors could directly or indirectly cause the Company’s actual results of operations and financial condition to vary materially from past or anticipated future results of operations and financial condition. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price. The following information should be read in conjunction with Part II, Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

Substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report, the Company has incurred significant losses during 2015 and 2014 and has relied on debt and equity financings to fund our operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are in fact unable to continue as a going concern, our shareholders may lose their entire investment in our company.

Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly and may differ from market expectations.

Our annual and quarterly operating results have varied significantly in the past, and may vary significantly in the future, due to a number of factors which could have an adverse impact on our business. Our revenue may fluctuate as our channel partners make changes to their business model and we rely on third-party payment platforms to produce billing based on payment collection from end-users across all platforms. In recent years, video content costs escalated sharply in the industry which affected our ability to procure new content at the same cost as prior years. In addition, we incurred substantial technology and marketing costs related to operating our direct-to-consumer channels and developing our YOU Kids brand.

Expansion of our business may put added pressure on our management and operational infrastructure, impeding our ability to meet any potential increased demand for our services and possibly hurting our future operating results.

Our business plan is to significantly grow our operations to meet anticipated growth in demand for the services that we offer, and by the introduction of new goods or services. Growth in our businesses may place a significant strain on our personnel, management, financial systems and other resources. The evolution of our business also presents numerous risks and challenges, including:

  .   our ability to successfully and rapidly expand sales to potential new distributors in response to potentially increasing demand;
  the costs associated with such growth, which are difficult to quantify, but could be significant; and
  .   rapid technological change.

To accommodate any such growth and compete effectively, we may need to obtain additional funding to improve information systems, procedures and controls and expand, train, motivate and manage our employees, and such funding may not be available in sufficient quantities, if at all. If we are not able to manage these activities and implement these strategies successfully to expand to meet any increased demand, our operating results could suffer.

In order to comply with PRC regulatory requirements, we operate our businesses through companies with which we have contractual relationships. By virtue of these contractual relationships, we control the economic interests and have the power to direct the activities of these entities, and are therefore determined to be the primary beneficiary of these entities, but we do not have any equity ownership interest in these entities. If the PRC government determines that our contractual agreements with these entities are not in compliance with applicable regulations, our business in the PRC could be materially adversely affected.

We do not have direct or indirect equity ownership of our VIE, which collectively operate all our businesses in China, but instead have entered into contractual arrangements with our VIE and each of its individual legal shareholder(s) pursuant to which we received an economic interest in, and have the power to direct the activities of the VIE, in a manner substantially similar to a controlling equity interest. Although we believe that our business operations are in compliance with the current laws in China, we cannot be sure that the PRC government would view our operating arrangements to be in compliance with PRC regulations that may be adopted in the future. If we are determined not to be in compliance, the PRC government could levy fines, revoke our business and operating licenses, require us to restrict or discontinue our operations, restrict our right to collect revenues, require us to restructure our business, corporate structure or operations, impose additional conditions or requirements with which we may not be able to comply, impose restrictions on our business operations or on our customers, or take other regulatory or enforcement actions against us that could be harmful to our business. As a result, our business in the PRC could be materially adversely affected.

14


We rely on contractual arrangements with our VIE for our operations, which may not be as effective for providing control over these entities as direct ownership.

Our operations and financial results are dependent on our VIE in which we have no equity ownership interest and must rely on contractual arrangements to control and operate the businesses of our VIE. These contractual arrangements may not be as effective for providing control over the VIE as direct ownership. For example, the VIE may be unwilling or unable to perform its contractual obligations under our commercial agreements. Consequently, we may not be able to conduct our operations in the manner currently planned. In addition, the VIE may seek to renew their agreements on terms that are disadvantageous to us. Although we have entered into a series of agreements that provide us with the ability to control the VIE, we may not succeed in enforcing our rights under them insofar as our contractual rights and legal remedies under PRC law are inadequate. In addition, if we are unable to renew these agreements on favorable terms when these agreements expire or to enter into similar agreements with other parties, our business may not be able to operate or expand, and our operating expenses may significantly increase.

Our arrangements with our VIE and its respective shareholders may be subject to a transfer pricing adjustment by the PRC tax authorities which could have an adverse effect on our income and expenses.

We could face material and adverse tax consequences if the PRC tax authorities determine that our contracts with our VIE and their respective shareholders were not entered into based on arm’s length negotiations. Although our contractual arrangements are similar to those of other companies conducting similar operations in China, if the PRC tax authorities determine that these contracts were not entered into on an arm’s length basis, they may adjust our income and expenses for PRC tax purposes in the form of a transfer pricing adjustment. Such an adjustment may require that we pay additional PRC taxes plus applicable penalties and interest, if any.

If we do not obtain shareholder approval of certain potential common stock issuances to Beijing Sun Seven Stars Culture Development Limited, or SSS, a promissory note held by SSS will be due, and we may not have the resources to repay such note.

Under the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we generally may not issue more than 19.99% of our outstanding shares unless we obtain shareholder approval. On December 21, 2015, we entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement”) with SSS, pursuant to which we agreed to issue 4,545,454 shares of our common stock for $2.20 per share, or a total purchase price of $10.0 million to SSS. In addition, we agreed to issue two-year warrants to acquire an additional 1,818,182 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share (the “SSS Warrant”) to SSS. On the same day, we also entered into a Content License Agreement with SSS (the “Content License Agreement”) under which SSS granted us a non-exclusive, royalty-free content distribution right for certain assets valued at approximately $29.1 million, in exchange for a promissory note (the “SSS Note”) that is convertible into 9,208,860 shares of our common stock (the “IP Shares”). The SSS Note has a stated principal amount of $17.7 million, bears interest at the rate of 0.56% per annum and matures May 21, 2016. In the event of default, the SSS Note will become immediately due and payable. As of December 31, 2015, no shares, warrants or promissory note was issued by the Company as the transaction was subject to certain closing conditions. On March 28, 2016, we closed the transaction with SSS.

Under the terms of the respective agreements, until receipt of necessary shareholder approvals, the SSS Warrant may not be exercised and the SSS Note is not convertible into the IP Shares to the extent that such exercise and/or conversion would result in SSS and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 19.99% of our outstanding common stock. Once the necessary shareholder approval is received, the unpaid principal and interest on the SSS Note will automatically convert into the IP Shares.

Although we will put this proposal to our shareholders for their approval, no assurances can be given that we will obtain such shareholder approval. If we fail to obtain such shareholder approval by May 21, 2016 (unless such maturity date for the SSS Note is extended), SSS may require us to satisfy all of our obligations under the SSS Note, including the payment in full of all principal and interest, and may pursue other legal or equitable remedies against us. Our ability to make such cash payments will depend on available cash resources at that time, and there can be no assurance that we will have the cash necessary to make such payments. Early payment of the SSS Note could therefore have a significantly adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition

The success of our business is dependent on our ability to retain our existing key employees and to add and retain senior officers to our management.

We depend on the services of our key employees, in particular, Mr. Bruno Wu, our Chairman, Mr. Shane McMahon, our Vice Chairman, and Mr. Mingcheng Tao, our Chief Executive Officer. Our success will largely depend on our ability to retain these key employees and to attract and retain qualified senior and middle level managers to our management team. We have recruited executives and management in China to assist in our ability to manage the business and to recruit and oversee employees. While we believe we offer compensation packages that are consistent with market practice, we cannot be certain that we will be able to hire and retain sufficient personnel to support our business. In addition, severe capital constraints have limited our ability to attract specialized personnel. Moreover, our budget limitations will restrict our ability to hire qualified personnel. The loss of any of our key employees would significantly harm our business. We do not maintain key person life insurance on any of our employees.

15


We may be unable to compete successfully against new entrants and established film and media industry competitors .

The Chinese market for film and media content and services is intensely competitive and rapidly changing. Barriers to entry may be relatively minimal, and current and new competitors may be able to provide film and media content at a lower cost. Although the Chinese government continues to improve its efforts to enforce intellectual property protection, pirated film and media content continues to be prevalent in China, which may reduce our potential profits. In addition, other companies offer competitive products or services including Chinese language content. Furthermore, as many of our existing competitors, as well as a number of potential competitors, have longer operating histories in the entertainment, film, media or Internet service markets, greater name and brand recognition, better relationships with key players, larger customer bases and libraries and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we have, we cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against our current or future competitors. Any increased competition could reduce our subscribers, make it difficult for us to attract and retain subscribers, reduce or eliminate our market share, lower our profit margins and reduce our revenues.

We depend on third parties to provide video content for our VOD services, and if we are unable to secure access to these contents, we may be unable to attract and retain subscribers.

We depend on third parties to provide us with programming content which we would distribute through our channel partners to our subscribers in China. We continue to negotiate with various entertainment studios and other right holders to secure access to additional programming content in order to make our service more attractive to subscribers. However, we may not be able to obtain access to additional programming content on favorable terms, or at all. In addition, video content costs have increased sharply in the Chinese Internet market and we may not be able to purchase the same volume of content once our existing content contracts expires. If we are unable to successfully negotiate agreements for access to high quality programming content, we may not be able to attract and retain subscribers or distribution partners for our service, and our operating results would be negatively affected.

If we are unable to attract many subscribers for our VOD services, or are unable to successfully renew agreements or negotiate additional agreements with distribution partners in China to deliver our programming content, our financial performance will be adversely affected.

At present, there is a limited market for VOD services in China, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop or that we will be able to attract subscribers to purchase our services. In addition, we rely on cable television, IPTV and OTT providers to deliver our programming content to subscribers and we may not be able to renew agreements or negotiate additional agreements to deliver our programming content on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to attract many subscribers or successfully negotiate additional delivery agreements with distribution partners, including cable television, IPTV and OTT providers, our financial performance will be adversely affected.

Videos and other types of content displayed on Internet platforms may be found objectionable by PRC regulatory authorities, which may result in penalties and other administrative actions against us.

The PRC government has adopted regulations governing Internet access and the distribution of videos over the Internet. Although we have adopted internal procedures to obtain the appropriate PRC censorship and regulatory approval for contents licensed to us, new regulations and implementation guidance may require us to limit or eliminate the dissemination of certain content through Internet channels. Moreover, the costs of compliance with these regulations may continue to increase as we procure more content to support our business growth. In addition, we may also face litigation or administrative action for defamation, negligence, or other purported injuries resulting from content programming operated by us. Such litigation and administrative actions, with or without merit, may be expensive and time-consuming and may result in significant diversion of resources and management attention from our business operations. Furthermore, such litigation or administrative actions may adversely affect our brand image and reputation.

We derived a substantial portion of our revenue from several major customers. If we lose any of these customers, or if the volume of business with these distribution partners decline, our revenues may be significantly affected.

Revenue from three of our distribution partners accounted for over 41% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 and revenue from two of our distribution partners accounted for over 53% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014. Due to our reliance on a limited number of distribution partners, any of the following events may cause a material decline in our revenue and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations:

  .   reductions, delays or cessation of purchases from one or more significant distribution partner;
  .   loss of one or more distribution partner and our inability to find new distribution partners that can generate the same volume of business; and

16



  .   failure of any distribution partner to make timely payment of our products and services.

We cannot be certain whether these relationships will continue to develop or if these distribution partners will continue to generate significant revenue for us in the future.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, our ability to accurately and timely report our financial results or prevent fraud may be adversely affected, and investor confidence and market price of our shares may be adversely impacted.

As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX 404”), the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company’s internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports on Form 10-K. Under current law, we became subject to these requirements beginning with our annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures have been ineffective, and failure to improve them could lead to future errors in our financial statements that could require a restatement or untimely filings, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, and a decline in our stock price.

In connection with our assessment in 2014, management identified certain deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that management concluded to be a material weakness. The material weakness is related to accounting for non-routine transactions, see “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures – Management Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.”

We have devoted significant resources to address the material weakness, including retaining key accounting personnel with sufficient U.S. GAAP accounting and SEC reporting knowledge, implementing internal Sarbanes Oxley procedures and upgrading our internal control-related processes. As of December 31, 2015, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is effective after remediation. See “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures – Management Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.”

However, if we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, our management may not be able to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting at a reasonable assurance level. This could in turn result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and negatively impact the trading price of our shares.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA

U.S. financial regulatory and law enforcement agencies, including without limitation the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. national securities exchanges, have limited ability, and in fact may have no ability, to conduct investigations within the People’s Republic of China concerning the Company, our PRC-based officers, directors, market research services or other professional services or experts.

Most of our assets and substantially all of our current operations are conducted in the PRC, and some of our officers, directors and other professional service providers are nationals and residents of China. U.S. financial regulatory and law enforcement agencies, including without limitation the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. national securities exchanges, have limited ability, and in fact may have no ability, to conduct investigations within the PRC concerning the Company, and China may have limited or no agreements in place to facilitate cooperation with the SEC’s Division of Enforcement for investigations within its jurisdiction. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm, are based in China, and work papers regarding the Company may be maintained in China, where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) is currently unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the Chinese authorities. Any limitations on the ability of U.S. financial regulatory and law enforcement agencies, including the PCAOB, to access books, records and testimony, to conduct onsite investigation of operations, to exercise subpoena power and to take other investigative actions, including those stemming from investor tips, complaints and referrals, may deprive investors of the benefits and protections of these agencies, and investors may lose confidence in, or be skeptical as to the quality of, the Company’s disclosures in filings with the SEC, reported financial information and procedures and the quality of our financial statements, or the Company’s compliance with the rules and regulations of such agencies.

Adverse changes in political, economic and other policies of the Chinese government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China, which could materially and adversely affect the growth of our business and our competitive position.

Our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are affected significantly by economic, political and legal developments in China. The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including:

17


  .   the degree of government involvement;
  .   the level of development;
  .   the growth rate;
  .   the control of foreign exchange;
  .   the allocation of resources;
  .   an evolving and rapidly changing regulatory system; and
  .   a lack of sufficient transparency in the regulatory process.

While the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth in the past 30 years, growth has been uneven, both geographically and across various sectors of the economy. The Chinese economy has also experienced certain adverse effects due to the global financial crisis. In addition, the growth rate of China’s gross domestic product has slowed in recent years to 7.4% in 2014 and 6.9% in 2015, according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments, foreign currency exchange restrictions or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us.

The Chinese economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although in recent years the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of the productive assets in China is still owned by the Chinese government. The continued control of these assets and other aspects of the national economy by the Chinese government could materially and adversely affect our business. The Chinese government also exercises significant control over Chinese economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

Any adverse change in the economic conditions or government policies in China could have a material adverse effect on overall economic growth, which in turn could lead to a reduction in demand for our products and consequently have a material adverse effect on our businesses.

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could limit the legal protections available to you and to us, which could cause material adverse effects to our business operations.

We conduct substantially all of our business through our subsidiaries and VIE in the PRC. Our subsidiaries and VIE are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws applicable to foreign invested entities established in the PRC (“FIEs”). The PRC legal system is based on written statutes, and prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, a series of new PRC laws and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. For example, on January 19, 2015, MOFCOM published a draft of the PRC law on Foreign Investment (Draft for Comment), of the Draft Foreign Investment Law, which was open for public comments until February 17, 2015. At the same time, MOFCOM published an accompanying explanatory note of the Draft Foreign Investment Law, or the Explanatory Note, which contains important information about the Draft Foreign Investment Law, including its drafting philosophy and principles, main content, plans to transition to the new legal regime and treatment of business in China controlled by FIEs, primarily through contractual arrangements such as VIE arrangements. The Draft Foreign Investment Law is intended to replace the current foreign investment legal regime consisting of three laws: the Sino-Foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise Law, the Sino-Foreign Cooperative Joint Venture Enterprise Law and the Wholly Foreign-Invested Enterprise Law, as well as detailed implementing rules. The Draft Foreign Investment Law proposes significant changes to the PRC foreign investment legal regime and may have a material impact on Chinese companies listed or to be listed overseas. The proposed Draft Foreign Investment Law is to regulate FIEs the same way as PRC domestic entities, except for those FIEs that operate in industries deemed to be either “restricted” or “prohibited” in a “Negative List.” As the Negative List has yet to be published, it is unclear whether it will differ from the current list of industries subject to restrictions or prohibitions on foreign investment. The Draft Foreign Investment Law also provides that only FIEs operating in industries on the Negative List will require entry clearance and other approvals that are not required of PRC domestic entities. As a result of the entry clearance and approvals, certain FIEs operating in industries on the Negative List may not be able to continue to conduct their operations through contractual arrangements. Moreover, it is uncertain whether the online VOD business and value-added telecommunications industries, in which our VIEs operate, will be subject to the foreign investment restrictions or prohibitions set forth in the “negative list” to be issued.

The Draft Foreign Investment Law has not taken a position on what actions will be taken with respect to the existing VIE structures, while it is soliciting comments from the public on this point by illustrating several possible options. Under these varied options, a company that has a VIE structure and conducts the business on the “negative list” at the time of enactment of the new Foreign Investment Law has either the option or obligation to disclose its corporate structure to the authorities, while the authorities may either permit the company to continue to maintain the VIE structure (if the company is deemed ultimately controlled by PRC nationals), or require the company to dispose of its businesses and/or VIE structure based on circumstantial considerations. The Draft Foreign Investment Law also provides that only FIEs operating in industries on the Negative List will require entry clearance and other approvals that are not required of PRC domestic entities. As a result of such entry clearance and approvals or certain restructuring of our corporate structure and operations, to be completed by companies with existing VIE structure like us, we face substantial uncertainties as to whether these actions can be timely completed, or at all, and our business and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Although the overall effect of legislation over the past three decades has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in China, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system. And recently enacted laws, rules and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China or may be subject to significant degree of interpretation by PRC regulatory agencies and courts. Since the PRC legal system continues to evolve rapidly, the interpretations of many laws, regulations, and rules are not always uniform, and enforcement of these laws, regulations, and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to you and to us. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all, and which may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until after the occurrence of the violation.

In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management’s attention. In addition, some of our executive officers and directors are residents of China and not of the United States, and substantially all the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it could be difficult for investors to affect service of process in the United States or to enforce a judgment obtained in the United States against our Chinese operations and entities.

We depend upon contractual arrangements with our VIE for the success of our business and these arrangements may not be as effective in providing operational control as direct ownership of these businesses and may be difficult to enforce.

Our operations are primarily conducted in the PRC, where the PRC government restricts or prohibits foreign-owned enterprises from owning Internet content, telecommunication, and certain other operations in the PRC. Accordingly, we depend on our VIE, in which we have no direct ownership interest, to provide those services through contractual agreements among the parties and to hold some of our assets. These arrangements may not be as effective in providing control over our operations through direct ownership of these businesses. Due to our VIE structure, we have to rely on contractual rights to effect control and management of our VIE, which exposes us to the risk of potential breach of contract by the VIE or its shareholders. A failure by our VIE or its shareholders to perform their obligations under our contractual arrangements with them could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Furthermore, if the shareholders of our VIE were involved in proceedings that had an adverse impact on their shareholder interests in such VIE or on our ability to enforce relevant contracts related to the VIE structure, our business would be adversely affected.

As all of these contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through either arbitration or litigation in the PRC, they would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. We would have to rely for enforcement on legal remedies under PRC law, including specific performance, injunctive relief or damages, which might not be effective. As these PRC governmental authorities have wide discretion in granting such approvals, we could fail to obtain such approval. In addition, our VIE contracts might not be enforceable in China if PRC governmental authorities, courts or arbitral tribunals took the view that such contracts contravened PRC law or were otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. In the event we were unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, we would not be able to exert effective control over our VIE, and our ability to conduct our business, and our financial condition and results of operations, would be severely adversely affected.

You may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us.

Most of our assets are located outside of the United States and most of our current operations are conducted in the PRC. In addition, some of our directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. A substantial portion of the assets of these persons is located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors, that are not residents in the United States and the substantial majority of whose assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts. Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. Courts in China may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other arrangements that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments with the United States. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security, or the public interest. So it is uncertain whether a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered against us by a court in the United States.

The PRC government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.

The PRC government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property, and other matters. We believe that our operations in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, the central or local governments of the jurisdictions in which we operate may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations.

Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties or joint ventures.

Activities of Internet content providers are or will be subject to additional PRC regulations, which have not yet been put into effect, could substantially affect our business activities and financial performance.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (“MIIT”) has stated that the activities of Internet content providers are subject to regulation by various PRC government authorities, depending on the specific activities conducted by the Internet content provider. Various government authorities have stated publicly that they are in the process of preparing new laws and regulations that will govern these activities. The areas of regulation currently include online advertising, online news reporting, online publishing, provision of online or mobile music, online securities trading, the provision of industry-specific (e.g., drug-related) information over the Internet and foreign investment in value-added telecommunication services. Other aspects of media transferred through Internet mediums may be subject to additional regulations in the future. We cannot assure you that the PRC regulatory authorities will not issue new laws or regulations that will adversely impact our business activities and financial performance.

The enforcement of the PRC labor contract law may materially increase our costs and decrease our net income.

China adopted a new Labor Contract Law, effective on January 1, 2008, issued its implementation rules and regulations, effective on September 18, 2008, and amended the Labor Contract Law, effective on July 1, 2013. The Labor Contract Law and related rules and regulations impose more stringent requirements on employers with regard to, among other things, minimum wages, severance payment and non-fixed-term employment contracts, time limits for probation periods, as well as the duration and the times that an employee can be placed on a fixed-term employment contract. Due to the limited period of effectiveness of the Labor Contract Law, its implementation rules and regulations and its amendment, and the lack of clarity with respect to its implementation and the potential penalties and fines, it is uncertain how it will impact our current employment policies and practices. In particular, compliance with the Labor Contract Law and its implementation rules and regulations may increase our operating expenses. In the event that we decide to terminate some of our employees or otherwise change our employment or labor practices, the Labor Contract Law and its implementation rules and regulations may also limit our ability to effect those changes in a manner that we believe to be cost-effective or desirable, and could result in a material decrease in our profitability.

Future inflation in China may inhibit our ability to conduct business in China.

In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion, significant stock market volatility and highly fluctuating rates of inflation. These factors have led to the adoption by the Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. In 2010 and 2011, for example, the Chinese economy experienced high inflation and to curb the accelerating inflation, the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”), China central bank, raised benchmark interest rates three times in 2011. High inflation may in the future cause the Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby harm the market for our products and services and our company.

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our sales effectively.

At present, all of our sales will be settled in RMB, and any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenue generated in RMB to fund any future business activities outside China or to make dividend or other payments in U.S. dollars. Although the Chinese government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain, including primarily the restriction that FIEs may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents, at those banks in China authorized to conduct foreign exchange business. In addition, foreign exchange transactions under the capital account remain subject to limitations and require approvals from, or registration with, SAFE and other relevant PRC governmental authorities and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. This could affect our ability to obtain foreign currency through debt or equity financing for our subsidiaries and the variable interest entities. Recent volatility in the RMB foreign exchange rate as well as capital flight out of China may lead to further foreign exchange restrictions and policies or practices which adversely affect our operations and ability to convert RMB. We cannot be certain that the Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB.

Fluctuations in exchange rates could adversely affect our business and the value of our securities.

The value of our common stock will be indirectly affected by the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and RMB and between those currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated. Appreciation or depreciation in the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend we issue that will be exchanged into U.S. dollars, as well as earnings from, and the value of, any U.S. dollar-denominated investments we make in the future.

Since July 2005, the RMB has no longer been pegged to the U.S. dollar. Although the People’s Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the RMB may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.

Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions. While we may enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these transactions may be limited, and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all. In addition, our foreign currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into foreign currencies.

Restrictions under PRC law on our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to make dividends and other distributions could materially and adversely affect our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could benefit our business, pay dividends to you, and otherwise fund and conduct our business.

At present, all of our sales are earned by our PRC operating entities. However, PRC regulations restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make dividends and other payments to their offshore parent companies. PRC legal restrictions permit payments of dividends by our PRC subsidiaries only out of their accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our PRC subsidiaries are also required under PRC laws and regulations to allocate at least 10% of their annual after-tax profits determined in accordance with PRC GAAP to a statutory general reserve fund until the amounts in said fund reaches 50% of their registered capital. Allocations to these statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to us in the form of loans, advances, or cash dividends. Any limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to transfer funds to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends and otherwise fund and conduct our business.

Failure to comply with PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident shareholders to personal liability, limit our ability to acquire PRC companies or to inject capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute profits to us or otherwise materially adversely affect us.

SAFE has promulgated several regulations, including the Notice Concerning Foreign Exchange Controls on Domestic Residents’ Financing and Roundtrip Investment Through Offshore Special Purpose Vehicles (“Circular 75”), effective on November 1, 2005, and the Circular on Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Administration Over the Overseas Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment by Domestic Residents Via Special Purpose Vehicles (“Circular 37”), effective on July 4, 2015, which replaced Circular 75. Under Circular 37, PRC residents must register with local branches of SAFE in connection with their direct establishment or indirect control of an offshore entity for the purpose of holding domestic or offshore assets or interests, referred to as a “special purpose vehicle” in Circular 37. In addition, amendments to the registration must be made in the event of any material change, such as an increase or decrease in share capital contributed by the individual PRC resident shareholder, share transfer or exchange, merger, division or other material event. Failure to comply with the specified registration procedures may result in restrictions being imposed on the foreign exchange activities of the relevant PRC entity, including the payment of dividends and other distributions to its offshore parent, as well as restrictions on capital inflows from the offshore entity to the PRC entity. Further, failure to comply with the SAFE registration requirements may result in penalties under PRC law for evasion of foreign exchange regulations.

21


We have asked our shareholders who are PRC residents as defined in Circular 37 and related rules to register with the relevant branch of SAFE, as currently required, in connection with their equity interests in us and our acquisitions of equity interests in our PRC subsidiaries. However, we cannot provide any assurances that they can obtain the above SAFE registrations required by Circular 37 and related rules. Moreover, because Circular 37 is newly issued, there is uncertainty over how Circular 37 and related rules will be interpreted and implemented and how or whether SAFE will apply it to us, and we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies. For example, our present and prospective PRC subsidiaries’ ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with Circular 37 and related rules by our PRC resident beneficial holders. In addition, such PRC residents may not always be able to complete the necessary registration procedures required by Circular 37 and related rules. We have little control over either our present or prospective direct or indirect shareholders or the outcome of such registration procedures.

We may be unable to complete a business combination transaction efficiently or on favorable terms due to complicated merger and acquisition regulations which became effective on September 8, 2006.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the China Securities Regulatory Commission, promulgated the Regulation on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, which became effective on September 8, 2006 and was amended in June 2009. This regulation, among other things, governs the approval process by which a PRC company may participate in an acquisition of assets or equity interests. Depending on the structure of the transaction, the regulation will require the PRC parties to make a series of applications and supplemental applications to the government agencies. In some instances, the application process may require the presentation of economic data concerning a transaction, including appraisals of the target business and evaluations of the acquirer, which are designed to allow the government to assess the transaction. Government approvals will have expiration dates by which a transaction must be completed and reported to the government agencies. Compliance with the regulation is likely to be more time consuming and expensive than in the past and the government can now exert more control over the combination of two businesses. Accordingly, due to the regulation, our ability to engage in business combination transactions has become significantly more complicated, time consuming and expensive, and we may not be able to negotiate a transaction that is acceptable to our shareholders or sufficiently protect their interests in a transaction.

The regulation allows PRC government agencies to assess the economic terms of a business combination transaction. Parties to a business combination transaction may have to submit to MOFCOM and other relevant government agencies an appraisal report, an evaluation report and the acquisition agreement, all of which form part of the application for approval, depending on the structure of the transaction. The regulation also prohibits a transaction at an acquisition price obviously lower than the appraised value of the PRC business or assets, and in certain transaction structures, may require that consideration be paid within defined periods, generally not in excess of a year. The regulation also limits our ability to negotiate various terms of the acquisition, including aspects of the initial consideration, contingent consideration, holdback provisions, indemnification provisions and provisions relating to the assumption and allocation of assets and liabilities. Transaction structures involving trusts, nominees and similar entities are prohibited. Therefore, such regulation may impede our ability to negotiate and complete a business combination transaction on financial terms that satisfy our investors and protect our shareholders’ economic interests.

Our existing contractual arrangements with Sinotop Beijing and its shareholders may be subject to national security review by MOFCOM, and the failure to receive the national security review could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

In August 2011, MOFCOM promulgated the Rules of Ministry of Commerce on Implementation of Security Review System of Merger and Acquisition of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (the “Security Review Rules”) to implement the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Establishing the Security Review System for Merger and Acquisition of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors promulgated on February 3, 2011 (“Circular 6”). The Security Review Rules became effective on September 1, 2011. Under the Security Review Rules, a national security review is required for certain mergers and acquisitions by foreign investors raising concerns regarding national defense and security. Foreign investors are prohibited from circumventing the national security review requirements by structuring transactions through proxies, trusts, indirect investments, leases, loans, control through contractual arrangements or offshore transactions. The application and interpretation of the Security Review Rules remain unclear. Based on our understanding of the Security Review Rules, we do not need to submit our existing contractual arrangements with Sinotop Beijing and its shareholders to the MOFCOM for national security review because, among other reasons, (i) we gained de facto control over Sinotop Beijing in 2010 prior to the effectiveness of Circular 6 and the Security Review Rules; and (ii) there are currently no explicit provisions or official interpretations indicating that our current businesses fall within the scope of national security review. Although we have no plan to submit our existing contractual arrangements with Sinotop Beijing and its shareholders to MOFCOM for national security review, the relevant PRC government agencies, such as MOFCOM, may reach a different conclusion. If MOFCOM or another PRC regulatory agency subsequently determines that we need to submit our existing contractual arrangements with Sinotop Beijing and its shareholders for national security review by interpretation, clarification or amendment of the Security Review Rules or by any new rules, regulations or directives promulgated, we may face sanctions by MOFCOM or another PRC regulatory agency. These sanctions may include revoking the business or operating licenses of our PRC entities, discontinuing or restricting our operations in China, confiscating our income or the income of Sinotop Beijing, and taking other regulatory or enforcement actions, such as levying fines, that could be harmful to our business. Any of these sanctions could cause significant disruption to our business operations.

22


The Security Review Rules may make it more difficult for us to make future acquisitions or dispositions of our business operations or assets in China.

The Security Review Rules, effective as of September 1, 2011, provide that when deciding whether a specific merger or acquisition of a domestic enterprise by foreign investors is subject to the national security review by MOFCOM, the principle of substance-over-form should be applied. Foreign investors are prohibited from circumventing the national security review requirement by structuring transactions through proxies, trusts, indirect investments, leases, loans, control through contractual arrangements or offshore transactions. If the business of any target company that we plan to acquire falls within the scope of national security review, we may not be able to successfully acquire such company by equity or asset acquisition, capital increase or even through any contractual arrangement.

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China. Such classification will likely result in that dividends payable to our foreign investor and gains on sale of our common stock by our foreign investors may become subject to PRC taxation.

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China passed a new Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), and on November 28, 2007, the State Council of China passed its implementing rules, which took effect on January 1, 2008. Under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the EIT Law define de facto management as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise.

On April 22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice Concerning Relevant Issues Regarding Cognizance of Chinese Investment Controlled Enterprises Incorporated Offshore as Resident Enterprises pursuant to Criteria of de facto Management Bodies (the “Notice”), further interpreting the application of the EIT Law and its implementation non-Chinese enterprise or group controlled offshore entities. Pursuant to the Notice, an enterprise incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction and controlled by a Chinese enterprise or group will be classified as a “non-domestically incorporated resident enterprise” if (i) its senior management in charge of daily operations reside or perform their duties mainly in China; (ii) its financial or personnel decisions are made or approved by bodies or persons in China; (iii) its substantial assets and properties, accounting books, corporate chops, board and shareholder minutes are kept in China; and (iv) at least half of its directors with voting rights or senior management often reside in China. A resident enterprise would be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on its worldwide income and must pay a withholding tax at a rate of 10% when paying dividends to its non-PRC shareholders that do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC or which have such establishment or place of business but the dividends are not effectively connected with such establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within the PRC. Similarly, any gains realized on the transfer of our shares by such investors is also subject to PRC tax at a current rate of 10%, subject to any reduction or exemption set forth in relevant tax treaties, if such gain is regarded as income derived from sources within the PRC. However, it remains unclear as to whether the Notice is applicable to an offshore enterprise incorporated by a Chinese natural person. Detailed measures on the imposition of tax from non-domestically incorporated resident enterprises are not readily available. Therefore, it is unclear how tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each case.

We may be deemed to be a resident enterprise by Chinese tax authorities. If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on financing proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the EIT Law and its implementing rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiaries would qualify as “tax-exempt income,” we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally, it is possible that future guidance issued with respect to the new “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC shareholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC shareholders from transferring our shares.

23


If we were treated as a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we would be subject to taxation in both the United States and China, and our PRC tax may not be creditable against our U.S. tax.

Heightened scrutiny of acquisition transactions by PRC tax authorities may have a negative impact on our business operations or the value of your investment in us.

Pursuant to the Notice on Strengthening Administration of Enterprise Income Tax for Share Transfers by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises (“SAT Circular 698”), effective on January 1, 2008, and the Announcement on Several Issues Related to Enterprise Income Tax for Indirect Asset Transfer by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises (“SAT Announcement 7”), effective on February 3, 2015, issued by the SAT, if a non-resident enterprise transfers the equity interests of or similar rights or interests in overseas companies which directly or indirectly own PRC taxable assets through an arrangement without a reasonable commercial purpose resulting in the avoidance of PRC corporate income taxes, such a transaction may be re-characterized and treated as a direct transfer of PRC taxable assets subject to PRC corporate income tax. SAT Announcement 7 specifies certain factors that should be considered in determining whether an indirect transfer has a reasonable commercial purpose. However, as SAT Announcement 7 is newly issued, there is uncertainty as to its application and the interpretation of the term “reasonable commercial purpose.” In addition, under SAT Announcement 7, the entity which has the obligation to pay the consideration for the transfer to the transferring shareholders has the obligation to withhold any PRC corporate income tax that is due. If the transferring shareholders do not pay corporate income tax that is due for a transfer and the entity which has the obligation to pay the consideration does not withhold the tax due, the PRC tax authorities may impose a penalty on the entity that so fails to withhold, which may be relieved or exempted from the withholding obligation and any resulting penalty under certain circumstances if it reports such transfer to the PRC tax authorities.

As SAT Circular 698 and SAT Announcement 7 are relatively new and there is uncertainty over their application, we and our non-PRC resident investors may be subject to being taxed under Circular 698 and SAT Announcement 7 and may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with Circular 698 and SAT Announcement 7 or to establish that we or our non-PRC resident investors should not be taxed under Circular 698 and SAT Announcement 7, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Regulations relating to the online transmission of foreign films may adversely affect our business.

On September 2, 2014, the SAPPRFT issued a Notice on Further Strengthening the Administration of Online Foreign Audiovisual Content (the “September 2014 SAPPRFT Notice”), which requires that operators of audiovisual websites obtain from the SAPPRFT a Film Public Screening Permit for all foreign films before they are transmitted via the Internet in China. The September 2014 SAPPRFT Notice further stipulates that before any foreign films for transmission exclusively via the Internet are purchased after the promulgation of the September 2014 SAPPRFT Notice, operators of audiovisual websites must declare their annual purchasing plans with the SAPPRFT before the end of the year preceding the year of the intended broadcast and obtain the SAPPRFT’s approval. The September 2014 SAPPRFT Notice also states that the number of foreign-sourced content to be purchased by an operator and transmitted via its website in a single year may not exceed 30% of the total amount of the domestic content purchased and transmitted by the same website in the previous year.

We rely heavily on foreign films to attract users and while the application and interpretation of the September 2014 SAPPRFT Notice is uncertain, the promulgation of the September 2014 SAPPRFT Notice could have an adverse impact on our business. Any requirement of a minimum ratio of domestic content to foreign-sourced content in the September 2014 SAPPRFT Notice may require us to purchase more domestic content. In addition, as competing operators in China will also be required to maintain such a minimum ratio, the September 2014 SAPPRFT Notice may have the effect of driving up the price for Chinese films, which could cause our content costs to increase.

We may be subject to fines and legal sanctions if we or our employees who are PRC citizens fail to comply with PRC regulations relating to employee share options.

Under the Administration Measures on Individual Foreign Exchange Control issued by the PBOC and the related Implementation Rules issued by the SAFE, all foreign exchange transactions involving an employee share incentive plan, share option plan or similar plan participated in by PRC citizens may be conducted only with the approval of the SAFE. Under the Notice of Issues Related to the Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Stock Incentive Plan of Overseas Listed Company (“Offshore Share Incentives Rule”), issued by the SAFE on February 15, 2012, PRC citizens who are granted share options, restricted share units or restricted shares by an overseas publicly listed company are required to register with the SAFE or its authorized branch and comply with a series of other requirements. The Offshore Share Incentives Rule also provides procedures for registration of incentive plans, the opening and use of special accounts for the purpose of participation in incentive plans, and the remittance of funds for exercising options and gains realized from such exercises and sales of such options or the underlying shares, both outside and inside the PRC. We, and any of our PRC employees or members of our board of directors who have been granted share options, restricted share units or restricted shares, are subject to the Administration Measures on Individual Foreign Exchange Control, the related Implementation Rules, and the Offshore Share Incentives Rule. If we, or any of our PRC employees or members of our board of directors who receive or hold options, restricted share units or restricted shares in us or any of our subsidiaries, fail to comply with these registration and other procedural requirements, we may be subject to fines and other legal or administrative sanctions.

24


We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Chinese anti-corruption laws, and any determination that we violated these laws could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act (“FCPA”) and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute, for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations and agreements with third parties, and make most of our sales in China. The PRC also strictly prohibits bribery of government officials. Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by the employees, consultants, sales agents, or distributors of our Company, which may not always be subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents, or distributors of our company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA or Chinese anti-corruption laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the U.S. government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

If we become directly subject to the recent scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity involving U.S.-listed Chinese companies, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate and resolve the matter which could harm our business operations, stock price and reputation and could result in a loss of your investment in our stock, especially if such matter cannot be addressed and resolved favorably.

Over the past several years, U.S. public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China, particularly companies like ours which have completed so-called reverse merger transactions, have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. Much of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity has centered around financial and accounting irregularities and mistakes, a lack of effective internal controls over financial accounting, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. As a result of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listed Chinese companies has sharply decreased in value and, in some cases, has become virtually worthless. Many of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits and SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations. It is not clear what effect this sector-wide scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity will have on our company, our business and our stock price. If we become the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or not, we will have to expend significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend our company. This situation will be costly and time consuming and distract our management from growing our company.

The disclosures in our reports and other filings with the SEC and our other public announcements are not subject to the scrutiny of any regulatory bodies in the PRC. Accordingly, our public disclosure should be reviewed in light of the fact that no governmental agency that is located in China, where substantially all of our operations and business are located, has conducted any due diligence on our operations or reviewed or cleared any of our disclosure.

We are regulated by the SEC and our reports and other filings with the SEC are subject to SEC review in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Unlike public reporting companies whose operations are located primarily in the United States, however, substantially all of our operations are located in China. Since substantially all of our operations and business takes place in China, it may be more difficult for the staff of the SEC to overcome the geographic and cultural obstacles that are present when reviewing our disclosure. These same obstacles are not present for similar companies whose operations or business take place entirely or primarily in the United States. Furthermore, our SEC reports and other disclosure and public announcements are not subject to the review or scrutiny of any PRC regulatory authority. For example, the disclosure in our SEC reports and other filings are not subject to the review of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”), a PRC regulator that is tasked with oversight of the capital markets in China. Accordingly, you should review our SEC reports, filings and our other public announcements with the understanding that no local regulator has done any due diligence on our company and with the understanding that none of our SEC reports, other filings or any of our other public announcements has been reviewed or otherwise been scrutinized by any local regulator.

If additional remedial measures are imposed on the Big Four PRC-based accounting firms, including our independent registered public accounting firm, in administrative proceedings brought by the SEC alleging the firms’ failure to meet specific criteria set by the SEC, we could be unable to timely file future financial statements in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On January 22, 2014, Judge Cameron Elliot, an SEC administrative law judge, issued an initial decision suspending the PRC member firms of the “Big Four” accounting firms, including our independent registered public accounting firm, from, among other things, practicing before the SEC for six months. In February 2014, the initial decision was appealed. While under appeal and in February 2014, the PRC member firms of “Big Four” accounting firms reached a settlement with the SEC. As part of the settlement, each of the PRC member firms of “Big Four” accounting firms agreed to settlement terms that include a censure; undertakings to make a payment to the SEC; procedures and undertakings as to future requests for documents by the US SEC; and possible additional proceedings and remedies should those undertakings not be adhered to.

If the settlement terms are not adhered to, Chinese member firms of the “Big Four” accounting firms, including our independent registered public accounting firm, may be suspended from practicing before the SEC which could in turn delay the timely filing of our financial statements with the SEC. In addition, it could be difficult for us to timely identify and engage another qualified independent auditor to replace our independent registered public accounting firm.

A determination that we have not timely filed financial statements in compliance with SEC requirements could ultimately lead to the delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq or the termination of the registration of our common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or both, which would substantially reduce or effectively terminate the trading of our common stock in the United States.

RISKS RELATED TO THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK

The market price of our common stock is volatile, leading to the possibility of its value being depressed at a time when you may want to sell your holdings.

The market price of our common stock is volatile, and this volatility may continue. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our common stock may be highly volatile for specific business reasons. Factors such as variations in our revenues, earnings and cash flow, announcements of new investments, cooperation arrangements or acquisitions, and fluctuations in market prices for our products could cause the market price for our shares to change substantially.

Securities class action litigation is often instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs to us and divert our management’s attention and resources.

Moreover, the trading market for our common stock will be influenced by research or reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock, the market price for our common stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price for our common stock or trading volume to decline.

Furthermore, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock and other interests in our company at a time when you want to sell your interest in us.

Although publicly traded, the trading market in our common stock has been substantially less liquid than the average trading market for a stock quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market and this low trading volume may adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The trading volume of our common stock has been comparatively low compared to other companies listed on Nasdaq. Limited trading volume will subject our shares of common stock to greater price volatility and may make it difficult for you to sell your shares of common stock at a price that is attractive to you.

Provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws or Nevada law might discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of us or changes in our management and, therefore, depress the trading price of the common stock.

Our articles of incorporation authorize our Board of Directors to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the Board of Directors without further action by the shareholders. These terms may include preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any preferred stock could diminish the rights of holders of our common stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock could make it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire or effect a change-in-control, which in turn could prevent our shareholders from recognizing a gain in the event that a favorable offer is extended and could materially and negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

26


Certain of our shareholders hold a significant percentage of our outstanding voting securities.

As of March 28, 2016, our director Mr. Xuesong Song and C Media Limited (of which Mr. Song is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) are the beneficial owners of approximately 30.7% of our outstanding voting securities, SSS is the beneficial owner of approximately 13.8% of our outstanding voting securities, Mr. Shane McMahon, our Vice Chairman, is the beneficial owner of approximately 10.5% of our outstanding voting securities, and Mr. Weicheng Liu, our former Chief Executive Officer, is the beneficial owner of approximately 6.9% of our outstanding voting securities (as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1) of the Exchange Act). As a result, each possesses significant influence over the election of our directors and the authorization of any proposed significant corporate transactions. Their respective ownership and control may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our Board deems relevant.

Dividend Policy

We have never declared or paid a cash dividend. Any future decisions regarding dividends will be made by our Board of Directors. We currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our Board of Directors has complete discretion on whether to pay dividends, subject to the approval of our shareholders. Even if our Board of Directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to declare and pay dividends is dependent on our ability to declare dividends and profits in our PRC subsidiaries. PRC rules greatly restrict and limit the ability of our subsidiaries to declare dividends to us which, in addition to restricting our cash flow, limits our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains certain forward-looking information. See “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” above for certain information concerning those forward-looking statements.

Overview

YOU On Demand is a premium content VOD service provider with primary operations in the People’s Republic of China. YOU On Demand Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 19, 2004.

YOU On Demand, through its subsidiaries and variable interest entity, provides integrated value-added service solutions business for the delivery of VOD and paid video programming to digital cable providers, Internet Protocol Television (“IPTV”) providers, Over-the-Top (“OTT”) streaming providers, mobile manufacturers and operators, as well as direct customers. By leveraging and optimizing its existing operations, we have positioned ourselves to evolve into a mobile driven, “new media” platform for both enterprises and consumers.

YOU On Demand launched its VOD service through acquisition of YOD Hong Kong, formerly Sinotop Group Limited, in July 30, 2010 through its subsidiary China CB Cayman. Through a series of contractual arrangements, YOD WFOE, the subsidiary of YOD Hong Kong, controls Sinotop Beijing, a corporation established in the PRC. Sinotop Beijing is the 80% owner of Zhong Hai Video, though which we provide: 1) integrated value-added business-to-business (“B2B”) service solutions for the delivery of VOD and enhanced premium content for digital cable; 2) integrated value-added business-to-business-to-customer (“B2B2C”) service solutions for the delivery of VOD and enhanced premium content for IPTV and OTT providers and; 3) a direct to user, or B2C, mobile video service app. As a result of the contractual arrangements with Sinotop Beijing, we have the right to control management decisions and direct the economic activities that most significantly impact Sinotop Beijing and Zhong Hai Video, and accordingly, under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), we consolidate these operating entities in our consolidated financial statements.

Our Unconsolidated Equity Investment

Shandong Media operates a publishing business, which includes the distribution of periodicals, the publication of advertising, the organization of public relations events, the provision of information related services, copyright transactions, the production of audio and video products, and the provision of audio value added communication services. We hold 30% ownership interest in Shandong Media and account for our investment using the equity method.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:

  .

Our ability to adapt our product and service offerings to meet consumer demands . Our expansion prospect is dependent on continued development of our product and services. The content distribution industry in China is highly competitive and dominated by large Internet companies that have more resources than us. The growth of our business will depend on whether we can develop new services and products that can offer higher quality contents, technological innovation and unique user experience.

   

  .

Our ability to expand our subscriber base . Our business is affected by the overall size of our user base, which in turn is determined by, among other factors, (i) user experience of our service and products, (ii) our relationship with distribution platforms, such as digital cable and IPTV providers and mobile product manufacturers, (iii) expansion of our business to include increased service offerings and (iv) the expansion of our subscribers beyond smartphones to mobile tablets and other Internet-enabled mobile devices.


30



  .

Our ability to achieve revenue growth and meet internal or external expectations of future performance . In the latter half of 2014, we shifted our focus to our core VOD business and our business model is still evolving. Our financial performance is affected by, among other things, our ability to come to favorable business terms with our distribution partners, manage and procure contents in a cost-effective manner and manage our operating expenses. Overall, our operating expenses have been decreasing but we have also incurred certain additional costs related to our financing activities and maintaining our public company status.

   

  .

Changes in China’s economic, political or social policies or conditions . We operate in China and derive all of our revenues from sales to customers in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition and results of operation is significantly influenced by the political, social and economic policies and conditions in China. While the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth over the past decade, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating telecommunication and Internet industry development by imposing certain laws and regulations concerning Internet access and distribution of video content and other information over traditional and new media platforms. Some of the laws and regulations are also relatively new and involving and their interpretation and enforcement involve significant uncertainty.

Taxation

United States

YOU On Demand Holdings, Inc. is subject to United States tax. No provision for income taxes in the United States has been made as YOU On Demand Holdings, Inc. had no income taxable in the United States since inception.

Cayman Islands

CB Cayman was incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, it is not subject to income or capital gains tax. In addition, dividend payments are not subject to withholding tax in the Cayman Islands.

Hong Kong

Our subsidiary, YOD Hong Kong, was incorporated in Hong Kong and under the current laws of Hong Kong, is subject to Profits Tax of 16.5% . No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made as YOD Hong Kong has no taxable income.

The People’s Republic of China

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, our Chinese subsidiaries and VIE are subject to an earned income tax of 25.0% .

Our future effective income tax rate depends on various factors, such as tax legislation, the geographic composition of our pre-tax income and non-tax deductible expenses incurred. Our management carefully monitors these legal developments to determine if there will be any change in the statutory income tax rate.

Revenues

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $4,606,000, as compared to $1,963,000 for 2014, an increase of approximately $2,643,000, or 135%. The revenue increase was primarily attributed to addition of new Internet Protocol Television (“IPTV”), Over-the-Top (“OTT”) and mobile distribution channels. Building on the Company’s VOD business growth in 2014, we entered into contracts with ten new distribution partners in 2015, and revenue from these ten new distribution partners accounted for 56% of total revenues for 2015. Revenue generated from mobile and OTT channels increased 164% year-over-year, and accounted for approximately $1,597,000 million, or 35% of total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2015. The remaining revenue for 2015 was attributed to cable and IPTV distribution channels and, to a lesser extent, other content delivery services.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue was $3,674,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $2,756,000 for the same period in 2014. The increase in cost of revenue primarily due to acquisition of new content to meet our increasing business demands and, to a lesser extent, increase in content costs related to new theatrical releases. Our cost of revenue is primarily comprised of content licensing fees. Our content license agreements with production companies incorporate minimum guaranteed payment levels. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, our revenues have not exceeded the level of MG to cause additional costs to be incurred.

Gross profit

Our gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $932,000, as compared to gross loss of $793,000 during 2014. The increase in gross profit was mainly due to increase in revenue which exceed our cost of revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015, increased approximately $778,000, or 10% to $8,237,000, as compared to $7,459,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Salaries and personnel costs are the primary components of selling, general and administrative expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2015 salaries and personnel costs accounted for 42% of our selling, general and administrative expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2015, salaries and personnel costs totaled $3,491,000, a decrease of $331,000, or 9%, as compared to $3,822,000 for 2014, due to resource shifts to China as part of our long-term cost savings and operations enhancement initiatives.

The other major components of our selling, general and administrative expenses include technology, marketing, rent and regulatory expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2015, these costs totaled $4,746,000, a net increase of $1,109,000, or 30%, as compared to $3,637,000 in 2014. The increase was primarily attributed to increase in marketing expenses of $414,000 and severance payments of $492,000. Our marketing spending is primarily related to promotion of our direct-to-customer services on our newer distribution platforms.

Professional fees

Professional fees are generally related to public company reporting and governance expenses. Our costs for professional fees increased $62,000, or 9%, to $716,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015, from $654,000 during 2014. The increase in professional fees was related to our transition to a new audit firm in second quarter of 2014.

Depreciation and amortization

Our depreciation and amortization expense decreased $147,000, or 27%, to $390,000 in the year ended December 31, 2015, from $537,000 during 2014.The decrease was mainly due to write-off of certain office equipment in 2014, and, to a lesser extent, full amortization of certain software costs in the beginning of 2015.

Interest expense, net

Our interest expense decreased $2,254,000 to $120,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015, from $2,374,000 during 2014, primarily due to the recognition of the beneficial conversion feature of $2,126,000 related to the modification of the $3.0 million convertible note, as discussed in Note 13 of the consolidated financial statements included in this report, in 2014.

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities

Certain of our warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities and re-measured at the end of every reporting period and upon settlement, with the change in value reported in the statement of operations. We reported gain of $190,000 and loss of $621,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The changes are primarily due to fluctuation in our closing stock price.

33


Change in fair value of contingent consideration

Our contingent consideration related to our acquisition of YOD Hong Kong is classified as a liability because the Earn-Out Securities do not meet the fixed-for-fixed criteria under ASC 815-40-15 since the contingency was not solely based on the Company’s operations. Further, ASC 815-40-15 requires us to re-measure at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations and, accordingly, we reported a loss of $nil and $161,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The changes are primarily due to fluctuation in our closing stock price. The earn-out milestones were all achieved on July 1, 2015 and the contingency was thereby resolved on that date.

Loss from disposal of consolidated entities

Effective March 25, 2014, we deconsolidated our ownership in WFOE and Jinan Zhong Kuan as we determined that they were no longer required for our organizational structure on a going forward basis. We recorded a loss of $623,000 from disposal of these consolidated entities as discussed in Note 6 of our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest

Hua Cheng has a 20% non-controlling interest in Zhong Hai Video and as such we allocate 20% of the operating loss of Zhong Hai Video to Hua Cheng. During the year ended December 31, 2015, $440,000 of our operating loss from Zhong Hai Video was allocated to Hua Cheng. For the year ended December 31, 2014, operating loss attributable to non-controlling interest was $1,055,000, of which $616,000 was allocated to Hua Cheng.

Dividends on preferred stock

For the year ended December 31, 2014, in connection with the issuance of Series E Preferred Stock, we recorded dividends of approximately $16,402,000, which was primarily comprised of the recognition of a deemed dividend for a beneficial conversion feature discount of $16,571,000.

34


Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2015, we had cash of approximately $3,769,000. Approximately $23,000 was held in our Hong Kong entity and $3,692,000 was held in our China entities. The Company has no plans to repatriate these funds.

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report, the Company has incurred significant continuing losses in 2015 and 2014, and total accumulated deficits was $86,458,000 and $78,357,000 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We must continue to rely on proceeds from debt and equity issuances to fund ongoing operating expenses to date, which could raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On December 21, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to issue and sell 4,545,454 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) for $2.20 per share, or a total purchase price of $10.0 million to Beijing Sun Seven Stars Culture Development Limited (“SSS”), a PRC company. As of December 31, 2015, the financing transaction with SSS had not close nor had any shares been issued in relation to the transaction.

The following table provides a summary of our net cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities.

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities decreased for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 2014 primarily due to decrease in net loss as a result of our increase in revenue. Our cash used in operating activities primarily decreased in the area of content license payments and payment of accrued operating expenses. In addition, in line with our revenue growth, our accounts receivable also increased.

Financing Activities

In January 2014, the Company received investment net proceeds of approximately $16,614,000 from the sale of the Series E Preferred Stock and we received approximately $996,000 from the exercise of warrants and options from certain investors and employees.

Effects of Inflation

Inflation and changing prices have had an effect on our business and we expect that inflation or changing prices could materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. Our management will closely monitor the price change and make efforts to maintain effective cost control in operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Seasonality

Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to seasonal variations. This pattern may change, however, as a result of new market opportunities or new product introductions.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Variable Interest Entities

We account for entities qualifying as variable interest entities (VIEs) in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Boards (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation . For our consolidated VIE, management has made evaluations of the relationships between our VIE and the economic benefit flow of contractual arrangement with VIE. In connection with such evaluation, management also took into account the fact that, as a result of such contractual arrangements, we control the legal shareholders’ voting interests and have power of attorney in the VIE, and therefore we are able to direct all business activities of the VIE. As a result of such evaluation, management concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of our consolidated VIE.

We have consulted our PRC legal counsel in assessing our ability to control our PRC VIE. Any changes in PRC laws and regulations that affect our ability to control our PRC VIE may preclude us from consolidating these companies in the future.

36


Revenue Recognition

When persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured, we recognize revenue as services are performed. For certain contracts that involve sub-licensing content within the specified license period, revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC Subtopic 926-605, Entertainment-Films - Revenue Recognition , whereby revenue is recognized upon delivery of films when the arrangement includes a nonrefundable minimum guarantee, delivery is complete and we have no substantive future obligations to provide future additional services. Payments received from customers for the performance of future services are recognized as deferred revenue, and subsequently recognized as revenue in the period that the service obligations are completed.

In accordance with ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition – Multiple Element Arrangements , contracts with multiple element deliverables are separated into individual units for accounting purposes when the unit determined to have standalone value to the customer. Since the contract price is for all deliverables, we allocated the arrangement consideration to all deliverables at the inception of the arrangement based on their relative selling price. We use (a) vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price, if it exists, or, (b) the management’s best estimate of the selling price for that deliverable to determine the relative selling price of each individual unit.

The recognition of revenue involves certain judgments and changes in our assumptions, judgments or estimations may have a material impact on the amount and timing of our revenue recognition.

Licensed Content

We obtain content through content licensing agreements with studios and distributors. We recognize licensed content when the license fee and the specified content titles are known or reasonably determinable. Prepaid license fees are classified as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets as licensed content and accrued license fees payable are classified as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

We amortize licensed content in cost of revenues over the contents contractual window of availability based on the expected revenue derived from the licensed content, beginning with the month of first availability, such that our revenues bear a representative amount of the cost of the licensed content. We review factors that impact the amortization of licensed content on a regular basis, including factors that may bear direct impact on expected revenue from specific content titles. We estimate expected revenue by reviewing relevant factors, including marketing considerations, programming efforts, relationship with our channel partners, expected customer renewals and content offered by other distributors on the same platform. Changes in our expected revenue from licensed content could have a significant impact on our amortization pattern.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

We account for intangible assets and goodwill, in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other . ASC 350 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be evaluated for impairment at least annually. ASC 350 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In accordance with ASC 350, goodwill is allocated to reporting units, which are either the operating segment or one reporting level below the operating segment. On an annual basis, we review goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances makes it more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we determine that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, goodwill is further tested for impairment by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value of its reporting units, determined using externally quoted prices (if available) or a discounted cash flow model and, when deemed necessary, a market approach.

Application of goodwill impairment tests requires significant management judgement, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets, liabilities and goodwill to reporting units and determination of fair value of each reporting unit. Judgment applied when performing the qualitative analysis includes consideration of macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, composition, personnel or strategy changes affecting the reporting unit and recoverability of asset groups within a reporting unit. Judgments applied when performing the quantitative analysis includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and making other assumptions. Changes in these judgments, estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU) 2014-09, creating a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , to supersede the revenue recognition under current Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those good or services. The guidance also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer, as well as disclosure requirements for qualitative and quantitative information that should be included in financial statements. For public entities, the amendment becomes effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statement of adopting this guidance.

37


In February 2015, the FASB issued Consolidation (Topic 810) — Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis . The amendments in Topic 810 respond to stakeholders’ concerns about the current accounting for consolidation of variable interest entities, by changing aspects of the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate such entities. Under the amendments, all reporting entities are within the scope of Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation— Overall , including limited partnerships and similar legal entities, unless a scope exception applies. The amendments are intended to be an improvement to current U.S. GAAP, as they simplify the codification of FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) , with changes including reducing the number of consolidation models through the elimination of the indefinite deferral of Statement 167 and placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest. The amendments are effective for public business companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Customer Accounting for Fees Paid in Cloud Computing Arrangement , under ASC 350-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software . This amendment provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This amendment is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on our financial position, statement of operations or cash flow.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 (“ASU 2015-17”), Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . The ASU required that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. For public business entities, ASU 2015-17 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act defines internal control over financial reporting as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

  .

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

  .

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and Directors;

  .

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, our internal controls over financial reporting were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 that we identified the following material weakness:

  .

As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s controls were not sufficiently complete and comprehensive to ensure that our accounting for complex and non-routine transactions were complete and accurate. Specifically, there was inadequate analysis and review of the documentation and calculations supporting the Company’s accounting for foreign currency translation adjustments upon deconsolidation of certain entities, deferred tax accounting on business combination, and modification of share-based compensation. Although the amount related to the misstatements was immaterial and corrected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the absence of sufficient controls creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in the Company’s interim or annual financial statements would not be prevented or detected in a timely manner.

We have undertaken certain remedial steps to address the material weakness, including:

(i) strengthened our financial reporting function by hiring additional competent professionals with appropriate understanding of U.S. GAAP accounting issues and the SEC reporting requirements;

(ii) formalized and standardized accounting manual, policies and procedures in relation to period-end-closing and financial reporting;

(iii) further increased the accounting, internal control, and SEC reporting acumen and accountability of our finance employees through training programs designed to enhance these employees’ competency with respect to U.S. GAAP and internal control over financial reporting;

(iv) enhanced our monitoring control over financial reporting, including additional review by our vice president of finance and finance director over the application of U.S. GAAP accounting knowledge and the selection and evaluation of U.S. GAAP accounting policies, critical accounting judgments and estimates, reporting and disclosures;

39


(v) enhanced the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure process in reviewing and reorganizing our finance team to provide improved lines of responsibility, review and authority;

(vi) established related policies and procedures to support the operation of internal controls.

As of December 31, 2015, we have concluded that the material weakness described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 have been remediated.

We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that our books and records accurately reflect our transactions and that our established policies and procedures are followed. The discussion above includes descriptions of the material actual changes to our internal control over financial reporting in the year ended December 31, 2015 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board oversees that the assets of the Company are properly safeguarded, that the appropriate financial and other controls are maintained, and that the Company’s business is conducted wisely and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and proper governance. Included in these responsibilities is the Board of Directors’ oversight of the various risks facing the Company. In this regard, the Board seeks to understand and oversee critical business risks. The Board does not view risk in isolation. Risks are considered in virtually every business decision and as part of the Company’s business strategy. The Board recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risk. Indeed, purposeful and appropriate risk-taking is essential for the Company to be competitive on a global basis and to achieve its objectives.

While the Board oversees risk management, Company management is charged with managing risk. The Company has robust internal processes and a strong internal control environment to identify and manage risks and to communicate with the Board. The Board and the Audit Committee monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the internal controls and the risk management program at least annually. Management communicates routinely with the Board, Board committees and individual directors on the significant risks identified and how they are being managed. Directors are free to, and indeed often do, communicate directly with senior management.

The Board implements its risk oversight function both as a whole and through Committees. Much of the work is delegated to various Committees, which meet regularly and report back to the full Board. All Committees play significant roles in carrying out the risk oversight function. In particular:

  .

The Audit Committee oversees risks related to the Company’s financial statements, the financial reporting process, accounting and legal matters. The Audit Committee members meet separately with representatives of the independent auditing firm.

  .

The Compensation Committee evaluates the risks and rewards associated with the Company’s compensation philosophy and programs. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves compensation programs with features that mitigate risk without diminishing the incentive nature of the compensation. Management discusses with the Compensation Committee the procedures that have been put in place to identify and mitigate potential risks in compensation.

Independent Directors

In considering and making decisions as to the independence of each of the directors of the Company, the Board considered transactions and relationships between the Company (and its subsidiaries) and each director (and each member of such director’s immediate family and any entity with which the director or family member has an affiliation such that the director or family member may have a material direct or indirect interest in a transaction or relationship with such entity). The Board has determined that Arthur Wong, James Cassano, Jerry Fan, Jin Shi and Polly Wang are independent as defined in applicable SEC and NASDAQ rules and regulations, and that each constitutes an “Independent Director” as defined in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee consists of James Cassano, Jerry Fan and Arthur Wong with Mr. Wong acting as Chair. The Audit Committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company. Mr. Cassano and Mr. Wong serve as our Audit Committee financial experts as that term is defined by the applicable SEC rules. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:

  .

selecting our independent auditors and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by our independent auditors;

  .  

reviewing with our independent auditors any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response;

  .

reviewing and approving all proposed related-party transactions, as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

  .  

discussing the annual audited financial statements with management and our independent auditors;

  .

reviewing major issues as to the adequacy of our internal controls and any special audit steps adopted in light of significant internal control deficiencies;

  .  

annually reviewing and reassessing the adequacy of our Audit Committee charter;

  .

overseeing the work of our independent auditor, including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting;

  .

reporting regularly to and reviewing with the full Board any issues that arise with respect to the quality or integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the performance and independence of the independent auditors and any other matters that the Audit Committee deems appropriate or is requested to review for the benefit of the Board.

44


The Audit Committee may engage independent counsel and such other advisors it deems necessary to carry out its responsibilities and powers, and, if such counsel or other advisors are engaged, shall determine the compensation or fees payable to such counsel or other advisors. The Audit Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees consisting of one or more of its members as the Audit Committee deems appropriate to carry out its responsibilities and exercise its powers.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee consists of Jin Shi and James Cassano with Mr. Shi acting as Chair. Our Compensation Committee assists the Board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure of our directors and executive officers, including all forms of compensation to be provided to our directors and executive officers. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

  .

reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our chief executive officer, evaluating the performance of our chief executive officer in light of those goals and objectives, and setting the compensation level of our chief executive officer based on this evaluation;

  .  

reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with regard to the compensation of other executive officers;

  .  

reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of our directors; and

  .

reviewing and making recommendations to the Board regarding all incentive-based compensation plans and equity-based plans.

The Compensation Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate any consulting firm or other outside advisor to assist the committee in the evaluation of director, chief executive officer or senior executive compensation and other compensation-related matters, including sole authority to approve the firms' fees and other retention terms. The Compensation Committee may also form and delegate authority to subcommittees consisting of one or more members of the Compensation Committee.

Governance and Nominating Committee

Our Governance and Nominating Committee consists of Arthur Wong and Jin Shi with Mr. Shi acting as Chair. The Governance and Nominating Committee assists the Board of Directors in identifying individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the Board and its committees. The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for, among other things:

  .

identifying and recommending to the Board nominees for election or re-election to the Board, or for appointment to fill any vacancy;

  .  

selecting directors for appointment to committees of the Board; and

  .  

overseeing annual evaluation of the Board and its committees for the prior fiscal year

The Governance and Nominating Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate retain and terminate any search firm that is to be used by the Company to assist in identifying director candidates, including sole authority to approve the firms' fees and other retention terms. The Governance and Nominating Committee may also form and delegate authority to subcommittees consisting of one or more members of the Governance and Nominating Committee.

Director Qualifications

Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s business consistent with their fiduciary duty to shareholders. This significant responsibility requires highly-skilled individuals with various qualities, attributes and professional experience. The Board believes that there are general requirements for service on the Company’s Board of Directors that are applicable to all directors and that there are other skills and experience that should be represented on the Board as a whole but not necessarily by each director. The Board and the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board consider the qualifications of directors and director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition and the Company’s current and future needs.

Qualifications for All Directors

In its assessment of each potential director candidate, including those recommended by shareholders, the Governance and Nominating Committee considers the nominee’s judgment, integrity, experience, independence, understanding of the Company’s business or other related industries and such other factors the Governance and Nominating Committee determines are pertinent in light of the current needs of the Board. The Governance and Nominating Committee also takes into account the ability of a director to devote the time and effort necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities to the Company.

The Board and the Governance and Nominating Committee require that each director be a recognized person of high integrity with a proven record of success in his or her field. Each director must demonstrate innovative thinking, familiarity with and respect for corporate governance requirements and practices, an appreciation of multiple cultures and a commitment to sustainability and to dealing responsibly with social issues. In addition to the qualifications required of all directors, the Board assesses intangible qualities including the individual’s ability to ask difficult questions and, simultaneously, to work collegially.

45


The Board does not have a specific diversity policy, but considers diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, age, cultural background and professional experiences in evaluating candidates for Board membership. Diversity is important because a variety of points of view contribute to a more effective decision-making process.

Qualifications, Attributes, Skills and Experience to be Represented on the Board as a Whole

The Board has identified particular qualifications, attributes, skills and experience that are important to be represented on the Board as a whole, in light of the Company’s current needs and business priorities. The Company’s services are performed in areas of future growth located outside of the United States. Accordingly, the Board believes that international experience or specific knowledge of key geographic growth areas and diversity of professional experiences should be represented on the Board. In addition, the Company’s business is multifaceted and involves complex financial transactions. Therefore, the Board believes that the Board should include some directors with a high level of financial literacy and some directors who possess relevant business experience as a Chief Executive Officer or President. Our business involves complex technologies in a highly specialized industry. Therefore, the Board believes that extensive knowledge of the Company’s business and industry should be represented on the Board.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
YOD On Demand Holdings, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of YOD On Demand Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of YOU On Demand Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net losses from continuing operations and had accumulated deficits that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Organization and Principal Activities

YOU On Demand Holdings, Inc., is a Nevada corporation that primarily operates in China (“PRC”) through its subsidiaries, variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and the consolidated subsidiary of its VIEs. The Company, its subsidiaries, its VIEs and the consolidated subsidiary of its VIEs are collectively referred to as YOU On Demand (“YOU On Demand”, “we”, “us”, or “the Company”).

YOU On Demand provides premium content and integrated value-added service solutions for the delivery of VOD and paid video programming to digital cable providers, Internet Protocol Television (“IPTV”) providers, Over-the-Top (“OTT”) streaming providers, mobile manufacturers and operators.

2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of YOU On Demand Holdings, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, its VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, and the subsidiary of its consolidated VIE. All material intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

(b) Basis of Presentation

The Company prepares and presents its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

(c) Equity Method Investments

Investments in entities where the Company can exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share of undistributed earnings or losses of the investee. The Company’s share of losses is not recognized when the investment is reduced to zero since the Company does not guarantee the investees’ obligations nor is the Company committed to providing additional funding.

Management evaluates impairment on the investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting based on performance and the financial position of the investee, as well as other evidence of market value. Such evaluation includes, but is not limited to, reviewing the investee’s cash position, recent financings, projected and historical financial performance, cash flow forecasts and financing needs. An impairment charge is recorded when the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its fair value and the impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary.

As of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting are comprised of (1) 30% equity ownership in Shandong Lushi Media Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Media”) and (2) 39% equity ownership in Hua Cheng Hu Dong (Beijing) Film and Television Communication Co., Ltd. (“Hua Cheng”), collectively held by Sinotop Beijing. We recognized impairment loss of $80,000 and $135,000 on our investments in Shandong Media and Hua Cheng, respectively.

(d) Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The most significant estimates include, but not limited to, the determination of estimated selling prices of multiple elements revenues contract, the expected revenue from licensed content, allowances for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation and equity based transactions with non-employees, determination of the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, impairment assessment of goodwill, intangible assets and long-term equity investments, determination of the fair value of financial instruments, valuation of deferred income taxes assets and the accrual of uncertain tax positions. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment made could be significant.

(e) Foreign Currency Translation

The Company uses the United States dollar (“US$” or “USD”) as its reporting currency. The functional currency of YOU On Demand Holdings, Inc., CB Cayman and YOD Hong Kong is the USD while the functional currency of Sinotop Beijing, Zhong Hai Video and YOD WFOE is the Renminbi (“RMB”). In the consolidated financial statements, the financial information of the entities which uses RMB as their functional currency has been translated into USD. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates on the balance sheet date, equity amounts are translated at the historical exchange rates, and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the period. Translation adjustments arising from these are reported as foreign currency translation adjustments and are shown as a component of other comprehensive loss in the statement of comprehensive loss.

F-8


Transactions denominated in currencies other than functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated in the functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

(f) Cash

Cash consist of cash on hand and demand deposit as of the date of purchase of three months or less. The Company deposits its cash balances with a limited number of banks.

(g) Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents deposits placed with banks which are restricted as to withdrawal or usage.

On December 21, 2015, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Amended and Restated SSS Purchase Agreement”) with Beijing Sun Seven Stars Culture Development Limited (“SSS”) (see Note 17). We received the restricted cash of $2,994,000 from SSS as cash deposits upon the execution of the Amended and Restated SSS Purchase Agreement.

(h) Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable are recognized at invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts receivable on an ongoing basis. In establishing the required allowance, management considers any historical losses, the customer’s financial condition, the accounts receivable aging, and the customer’s payment patterns. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed and the potential for recovery is remote, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

(i) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements, which extend the original estimated economic useful lives of applicable assets, are capitalized. Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. The costs and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss thereon is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The estimated useful life is 5 years for the furniture, 3 years for the electronic equipment and lesser of lease terms or the estimated useful lives of the assets for the leasehold improvements.

(j) Licensed Content

The Company obtains content through content license agreements with studios and distributors. We recognize licensed content when the license fee and the specified content titles are known or reasonably determinable. Prepaid license fees are classified as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets as licensed content and accrued license fees payable are classified as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

We amortize licensed content in cost of revenues over the contents contractual availability based on the expected revenue derived from the licensed content, beginning with the month of first availability, such that our revenues bear a representative amount of the cost of the licensed content. We review factors that impact the amortization of licensed content at each reporting date, including factors that may bear direct impact on expected revenue from specific content titles. Changes in our expected revenue from licensed content could have a significant impact on our amortization pattern.

Commitments for license agreements where the specified content titles or window of availability are not known or reasonably determinable and do not meet the criteria for recognition as licensed content are included in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.

(k) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at acquisition fair value or cost, less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes its intangible assets with definite lives over their estimated useful lives and reviews these assets for impairment when an indicator for potential impairment exists. The Company is currently amortizing its intangible assets with definite lives over periods generally ranging between 3 to 20 years. The estimated useful lives are 20 years for the charter/cooperation agreements, 5 years for software licenses and 3 years for the mobile app developments.

(l) Website Development Costs

Website development costs are stated at acquisition fair value or cost less accumulated amortization. The Company capitalizes website development costs associated with graphics design and development of the website application and infrastructure. Costs related to planning, content input, and website operations are expensed as incurred. The Company amortizes website development costs over three years.

F-9


(m) Goodwill

Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are assets that are not amortized as there is no foreseeable limit to cash flows generated from them.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Boards (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-20, Goodwill , the Company performs impairment test for its goodwill annually as of December 31, or more frequently, if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine if the carrying value of goodwill is impaired. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment based on its identified reporting units, which are defined as reportable segments or groupings of businesses one level below the reportable segment level. In September 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. The guidance provides entities with an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further quantitative impairment testing is necessary, or to proceed directly to performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test.

Under the qualitative assessment, the Company would first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities (including goodwill). If management determines that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, or if management is unable to reach a conclusion based on qualitative assessments, then the first and second steps of the goodwill impairment is performed.

Under the quantitative assessment, if the two-step goodwill impairment test is required, the fair value of the reporting unit is first compared with its carrying amount (including goodwill). If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the Company must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation and the residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, step two does not need to be performed.

For the purpose of goodwill impairment testing, the Company is considered as a reporting unit. Based on the annual goodwill impairment test performed in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 2014, management concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. No impairment loss was recognized for the years presented.

(n) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in the circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of the long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amount to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition, and recognize an impairment of long-lived assets when the carrying value of such assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows such assets is expected to generate. If the Company recognizes an impairment, the Company reduces the carrying amount of the assets group to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for any of the years presented.

(o) Warrant Liabilities

We account for derivative instruments and embedded derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities , as amended. The amended standard requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure these instruments at fair value. Fair value is estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation method.

We also follow ASC 815-40 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock , which requires freestanding contracts that are settled in a company’s own stock, including common stock warrants, to be designated as an equity instrument, asset or a liability. Under these provisions a contract classified as an asset or a liability must be carried at fair value, with any changes in fair value recorded in the results of operations. The asset/liability derivatives are valued on an annual basis using the Monte Carlo simulation method. A contract classified as an equity instrument must be included in equity, with no fair value adjustments required. Significant assumptions used in the valuation included exercise dates, fair value for our common stock, volatility of our common stock and a risk-free interest rate. Gains or losses on warrants are included in “Changes in fair value of warrant liabilities” in our consolidated statement of operations.

F-10


(p) Revenue Recognition

Revenue from sub-licensing content within the specified license period is recognized in accordance with ASC Subtopic 926-605, Entertainment-Films – Revenue Recognition . That is, if the arrangement includes a nonrefundable minimum guarantee, all contents have been delivered in accordance with the terms of the arrangement and there are no substantive future obligations from the Company, then revenue is recognized upon delivery.

Revenue for services is recorded as services are provided. The Company generally recognizes all revenues in the period in which the service is rendered, provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The Company records deferred revenue for payments received from customers for the performance of future services and recognize the associated revenue in the period that the services are performed.

In accordance with ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition – Multiple Element Arrangements , contracts with multiple element deliverables are separated into individual units for accounting purposes when the unit determined to have standalone value to the customer. Since the contract price is for all deliverables, the Company allocates the arrangement consideration to all deliverables at the inception of the arrangement on the basis of their relative selling price. Revenue related to each unit is recognized when the Company’s obligations under the contract have been satisfied and all revenue recognition criteria are met.

(q) Advertising & Marketing Expenses

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred, which are included in selling expense. Advertising and marketing costs were approximately $773,000 and $359,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(r) Share-Based Payment and Equity-based Payments to Non-Employees

The Company awards share options and other equity-based instruments to its employees, directors and consultants (collectively “share-based payments”). Compensation cost related to such awards is measured based on the fair value of the instrument on the grant date. The Company recognizes the compensation cost over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period. The amount of cost recognized is adjusted to reflect the expected forfeiture prior to vesting. When no future services are required to be performed by the employee in exchange for an award of equity instruments, and if such award does not contain a performance or market condition, the cost of the award is expensed on the grant date. The Company recognizes compensation cost for an award with only service conditions that has a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award, provided that the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant-date value of such award that is vested at that date.

The Company also awards stocks and warrants for service to consultants for service and accounts for these awards under ASC 505-50, Equity – Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees . The fair value of the awards is assessed at measurement date and is recognized as cost or expenses when the services are provided. If the related services are completed upon issuance date, measurement date is determined to be the date the awards are issued.

(s) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method. Deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes using enacted rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established, as needed to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in general and administrative expenses.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in our consolidated statements of operation.

(t) Related parties

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions.

F-11


(u) Net Loss Per Share Attributable to YOU On Demand Shareholders

Net loss per share attributable to YOU On Demand shareholders is computed in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. The two-class method is used for computing earnings per share. Under the two-class method, net income is allocated between ordinary shares and participating securities based on dividends declared (or accumulated) and participating rights in undistributed earnings as if all the earnings for the reporting period had been distributed. The Company’s convertible redeemable preferred shares are participating securities because they are entitled to receive dividends or distributions on an as converted basis. For the years presented herein, the computation of basic loss per share using the two-class method is not applicable as the Group is in a net loss position and net loss is not allocated to other participating securities, since these securities are not obligated to share the losses in accordance with the contractual terms.

Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Options and warrants are not considered outstanding in computation of basic earnings per share. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares and potential ordinary shares outstanding during the period under treasury stock method. Potential ordinary shares include options and warrants to purchase ordinary shares, preferred shares and convertible promissory note, unless they were anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e. an increase in earnings per share amounts or a decrease in loss per share amounts) on net loss per share.

(v) Reportable Segment

The Company has one operating business segment, video content and media, in which the chief operating decision maker reviews the operating results of the segment to determine the allocation of resources and the measuring of performance.

(w) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU) 2014-09, creating a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to supersede the revenue recognition under current Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those good or services. The guidance also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer, as well as disclosure requirements for qualitative and quantitative information that should be included in financial statements. For public entities, the amendment becomes effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statement of adopting this guidance.

In February 2015, the FASB issued Consolidation (Topic 810) —Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The amendments in Topic 810 respond to stakeholders’ concerns about the current accounting for consolidation of variable interest entities, by changing aspects of the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate such entities. Under the amendments, all reporting entities are within the scope of Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall, including limited partnerships and similar legal entities, unless a scope exception applies. The amendments are intended to be an improvement to current U.S. GAAP, as they simplify the codification of FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), with changes including reducing the number of consolidation models through the elimination of the indefinite deferral of Statement 167 and placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest. The amendments are effective for public business companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-05, Customer Accounting for Fees Paid in Cloud Computing Arrangement, under ASC 350-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software. This amendment provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This amendment is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on our financial position, statement of operations or cash flow.

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) 2015-17 (“ASU 2015-17”), Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The ASU required that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. For public business entities, ASU 2015-17 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. Management is currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

Going Concern and Management’s Plans

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we incurred net losses from continuing operations of approximately $8.5 million and $13.0 million, respectively, and we used cash for operations of approximately $6.4 million and $10.2 million, respectively. Further, we had accumulated deficits of approximately $86.5 million and $78.4 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, due to recurring losses since our inception.

The Company must continue to rely on proceeds from debt and equity issuances to pay for ongoing operating expenses in order to execute its business plan. On January 31, 2014, we completed a Series E Preferred Share financing in which we raised an additional $19.0 million. See Note 9 for additional information. We also may have the ability to raise funds by various methods, including utilization of our $50 million shelf registration, of which $47.3 million is remaining. On December 21, 2015, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement, subject to certain closing conditions, to issue and sell 4,545,454 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) for $2.20 per share, or a total purchase price of $10.0 million to Beijing Sun Seven Stars Culture Development Limited (“SSS”), a PRC company. However, additional financing may not be available to the Company on terms acceptable to us or at all or such resources may not be received in a timely manner.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

VIE Structure and Arrangements

To comply with PRC laws and regulation that prohibit or restrict foreign ownership of companies that provides value-added telecommunication services, the Company provides its services through Sinotop Beijing and Sinotop Beijing’s subsidiary, Zhong Hai Video, which holds the licenses and approvals to provide digital distribution and Internet content services in the PRC. The Company has the ability to control Sinotop Beijing and Zhong Hai Video through a series of contractual agreements entered into among YOD WFOE, YOD Hong Kong, Sinotop Beijing and the legal shareholder of Sinotop Beijing.

Management Services Agreement

Pursuant to a Management Services Agreement, as of March 9, 2010, between Sinotop Beijing and YOD Hong Kong (the “Management Services Agreement”), YOD Hong Kong has the exclusive right to provide to Sinotop Beijing management, financial and other services related to the operation of Sinotop Beijing’s business, and Sinotop Beijing is required to take all commercially reasonable efforts to permit and facilitate the provision of the services by YOD Hong Kong. As compensation for providing the services, YOD Hong Kong is entitled to receive a fee from Sinotop Beijing, upon demand, equal to 100% of the annual net profits of Sinotop Beijing during the term of the Management Services Agreement. YOD Hong Kong may also request ad hoc quarterly payments of the aggregate fee, which payments will be credited against Sinotop Beijing’s future payment obligations.

The Management Services Agreement also provides YOD Hong Kong, or its designee, with a right of first refusal to acquire all or any portion of the equity of Sinotop Beijing upon any proposal by the sole shareholder of Sinotop Beijing to transfer such equity. In addition, at the sole discretion of YOD Hong Kong, Sinotop Beijing is obligated to transfer to YOD Hong Kong, or its designee, any part or all of the business, personnel, assets and operations of Sinotop Beijing which may be lawfully conducted, employed, owned or operated by YOD Hong Kong, including:

(a) business opportunities presented to, or available to Sinotop Beijing may be pursued and contracted for in the name of YOD Hong Kong rather than Sinotop Beijing, and at its discretion, YOD Hong Kong may employ the resources of Sinotop Beijing to secure such opportunities;

(b) any tangible or intangible property of Sinotop Bejing, any contractual rights, any personnel, and any other items or things of value held by Sinotop Beijing may be transferred to YOD Hong Kong at book value;

(c) real property, personal or intangible property, personnel, services, equipment, supplies and any other items useful for the conduct of the business may be obtained by YOD Hong Kong by acquisition, lease, license or otherwise, and made available to Sinotop Beijing on terms to be determined by agreement between YOD Hong Kong and Sinotop Beijing;

(d) contracts entered into in the name of Sinotop Beijing may be transferred to YOD Hong Kong, or the work under such contracts may be subcontracted, in whole or in part, to YOD Hong Kong, on terms to be determined by agreement between YOD Hong Kong and Sinotop Beijing; and

(e) any changes to, or any expansion or contraction of, the business may be carried out in the exercise of the sole discretion of YOD Hong Kong, and in the name of and at the expense of, YOD Hong Kong; provided, however, that none of the foregoing may cause or have the effect of terminating (without being substantially replaced under the name of YOD Hong Kong) or adversely affecting any license, permit or regulatory status of Sinotop Beijing.

F-13


The term of the Management Services Agreement is 20 years, and may not be terminated by Sinotop Beijing, except with the consent of, or a material breach by, YOD Hong Kong.

Equity Pledge Agreement

Pursuant to an Equity Pledge Agreement among YOD Hong Kong, Sinotop Beijing and the sole shareholder of Sinotop Beijing (the “Shareholder”), dated March 9, 2010, the Shareholder pledged all of its equity interests in Sinotop Beijing (the “Collateral”) to YOD Hong Kong as security for the performance of the obligations of Sinotop Beijing to make all of the required management fee payments pursuant to the Management Services Agreement. The term of the Equity Pledge Agreement expires two years from Sinotop Beijing’s satisfaction of all obligations under the Management Services Agreement.

Option Agreement

Pursuant to an Option Agreement among YOD Hong Kong, Sinotop Beijing and Shareholder, dated March 9, 2010, and entered into in connection with the Management Services Agreement, the Shareholder granted an exclusive option to YOD Hong Kong, or its designee, to purchase, at any time and from time to time, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or any portion of the Shareholder’s equity in Sinotop Beijing. The aggregate purchase price of the option is equal to the registered paid-in capital of the Shareholder. The term of the agreement is until all of the equity interest in Sinotop Beijing held by the Shareholder is transferred to YOD Hong Kong, or its designee, or until the maximum period allowed by law has run, and may not be terminated by any party to the agreement without the consent of the other parties.

Voting Rights Proxy Agreement

Pursuant to a Voting Rights Proxy Agreement among YOD Hong Kong, Sinotop Beijing and the Shareholder, dated March 9, 2010, the Shareholder granted to YOD Hong Kong an irrevocable proxy, for the maximum period of time permitted by law, all of its voting rights as a shareholder of Sinotop Beijing. The Shareholder may not transfer any of its equity interest in Sinotop Beijing to any party other than YOD Hong Kong. The Voting Rights Proxy Agreement may not be terminated except upon the written consent of all parties, or unilaterally by YOD Hong Kong upon 30 days’ notice.

On June 4, 2012, YOD Hong Kong assigned all rights under the above agreement to YOD WFOE, its wholly-owned subsidiary. Accordingly, YOD WFOE may exercise the above agreements in place of YOD Hong Kong.

Under the above contractual agreements, YOD WFOE has the power to direct the activities of the Sinotop Beijing, and can have the assets transferred freely out of Sinotop Beijing without any restrictions. Therefore, YOD WFOE considers that there is no asset of Sinotop Beijing or Zhong Hai Video that can be used only to settle obligations of Sinotop Beijing or Zhong Hai Video, except for the registered capital of these two entities amounting to RMB17.0 million (approximately $2.6 million) as of December 31, 2015. As Sinotop Beijing and Zhong Hai Video are incorporated as limited liability companies under PRC Company Law, creditors of these two entities do not have recourse to the general credit of other entities of the Company.

Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards require the categorization of financial assets and liabilities, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The various levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.

   

Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

   

Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Accounting standards require the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

We review the valuation techniques used annually to determine if the fair value measurements are still appropriate, and to evaluate and adjust the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements based on current market conditions and third party information.

F-16


The fair value of the warrant liabilities at December 31, 2015 and 2014 were valued using the Monte Carlo Simulation method which incorporated the following assumptions:

      December 31,     December 31,  
      2015     2014  
  Risk-free interest rate   0.92%     1.040%  
  Expected volatility   60%     70%  
  Expected term (years)   1.67     2.67  
  Expected dividend yield   0%     0%  

The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively:

      December 31, 2015        
      Fair Value Measurements        
      Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total Fair Value  
  Liabilities                        
  Warrant liabilities (see Note10) $  -    $ -   $  395,217   $  395,217  

      December 31, 2014        
      Fair Value Measurements        
    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total Fair Value  
  Liabilities                        
  Warrant liabilities (see Note10) $   $ -   $  585,050   $  585,050  

The table below reflects the components effecting the change in fair value for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

      Level 3 Assets and Liabilities        
      For the Year Ended December 31, 2015        
                  Change in        
      January 1,           Fair Value     December 31,  
      2015     Settlements     gain     2015  
  Liabilities:                        
  Warrant liabilities (see Note10) $  585,050   $  -   $  (189,833 ) $  395,217  

      Level 3 Assets and Liabilities        
      For the Year Ended December 31, 2014        
                  Change in        
      January 1,           Fair Value     December 31,  
      2014     Settlements     loss     2014  
  Liabilities:                        
  Warrant liabilities (see Note10) $  1,344,440   $  (1,380,629 ) $  621,239   $  585,050  
  Contingent purchase price consideration $  578,744   $  (739,510 ) $  160,766   $  -  

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s warrant liability includes the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected term and expected dividend yield. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly different fair value measurement.

The carrying amount of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

8. Related Party Transactions

(a) $3.0 Million Convertible Note

On May 10, 2012, the Executive Chairman and Principal Executive Officer, Mr. Shane McMahon, made a loan to the Company in the amount of $3,000,000. In consideration for the loan, the Company issued a convertible note to Mr. McMahon in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Note”) at a 4% interest rate computed on the basis of a 365 day year. Upon issuance, the conversion price of the Note was equal to the price per share paid for securities by investors in the most recent financing (as of the date of conversion) of equity or equity-linked securities of the Company. On May 21, 2012, at the Company’s request, the Company and Mr. McMahon entered into Amendment No.1 to the Note, pursuant to which the price per share at which the Note, or any convertible Securities into which the Note is converted, may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, could not be less than $4.75, which amount represented the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately prior to the date of the Note in accordance with the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.

F-17


On April 12, 2013, the Majority Shareholders approved an amendment to the Note, as amended on May 21, 2012, to remove the $4.75 floor to the conversion price of the Note and such approval and such amendment was effective following the expiration of the 20-day period mandated by Rule 14c-2.

Effective May 10, 2013, the Company and Mr. McMahon entered into Amendment No.3 to the note pursuant to which (i) the Note would be due to mature on November 10, 2014, and (ii) the net proceeds of any financing of equity or equity-linked securities of the Company occurring on or before such date will be used to repay the Note until the full amount of the Note, and all accrued interest on the Note is repaid.

In connection with the Series D Amendment (as discussed below in Note 9), on November 4, 2014, the Company and Mr. McMahon entered into a waiver, pursuant to which (i) Mr. McMahon waived the Company’s obligation to repay the Note on November 10, 2013, (ii) the Company and Mr. McMahon agreed that the principal and all interest on the Note shall become due and payable on the earlier of (a) the closing of the Series E Financing, or (b) if there is no Series E Financing, the date when the Bridge Note (as discussed below in Note 9) is repaid in full or converted into shares of Series D Preferred Stock, and (iii) Mr. McMahon waived the Company’s obligation to repay the Note with the proceeds received from the issuance of the Bridge Note.

Effective on January 31, 2014, the Company and Mr. McMahon entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Note pursuant to which the Note is beat Mr. McMahon’s option, payable on demand or convertible on demand into shares of Series E Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) at a conversion price of $1.75, until December 31, 2015. As a result, in 2014, the Company recognized a beneficial conversion feature discount calculated as the difference between the Series E Preferred Stock at its intrinsic value, which was the fair value of the common stock at the commitment date for the Series E Preferred Stock investment and the effective conversion price. As such, we recognized a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $2,126,000 which in 2014 was reflected as interest expense and additional paid-in capital since the note was payable upon demand.

Effective December 30, 2014, the Company and Mr. McMahon entered into Amendment No. 5 pursuant to which the maturity date of the Note was extended to December 31, 2016. The Note remains payable on demand or convertible on demand into shares of Series E Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $1.75 at Mr. McMahon’s option.

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded interest expense of $120,000 and $2,444,000 related to the Note.

(b) Short-term Loans

On June 10, 2013, Shane McMahon made a short-term loan in the amount of $40,000 to the Company which was repaid in full on July 11, 2014.

(c) Revenue and Accounts Receivable

In March 2015, Zhong Hai Video entered into an agreement with C Media Limited (“C Media”) to provide video content services to C Media’s proprietary railway Wi-Fi service platform for $182,000. C Media is one of our shareholders. The Company delivered the content to C Media in March 2015 recognized the revenue of $182,000. As of December, 2015, total accounts receivable due from C Media amounted to $92,000.

(d) Cost of Revenue

Hua Cheng, the minority shareholder of Zhong Hai Video, charged us licensed content fees of approximately $174,000 and $163,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, total accrued license fees due to Hua Cheng amounted to $19,000 and nil, respectively.

(e) Sale of WFOE

Effective March 25, 2014, Beijing China Broadband Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“WFOE”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, was sold to Linkstar Global Investment Limited, whose sole shareholder is a family member of one of our management personnel. Total consideration received from the sale of WFOE amounted to $50,000.

9. Series D and Series E Preferred Stock Financing and Convertible Note

(a) Series D Preferred Stock

On July 5, 2013, we entered into a Series D Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with C Media, pursuant to which we sold to C Media 2,285,714 shares of Series D 4% Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) for $1.75 per share, or a total purchase price of $4,000,000.

On January 31, 2014, the Company exchanged the Series D Preferred Stock to Series E Preferred Stock. Previously recognized beneficial conversion feature of $183,000 related to the Series D Preferred Stock original issuance was reversed and the Company recognized approximately $2,651,000 of beneficial conversion feature as a deemed dividend related to the exchange of Series D Preferred Stock to Series E Preferred Stock. Further, in accordance with the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company paid the full cumulative dividends of $92,000 upon the exchange of the Series D Preferred Stock to Series E Preferred Stock.

(b) $2.0 Million Convertible Note

On November 4, 2013, the Company issued a convertible note to C Media in $2,000,000 principal amount (the “Bridge Note”). The Bridge Note had an annual interest rate of 4% and a maturity date of January 5, 2015. Upon the closing of a financing pursuant to the terms of the Series D Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and C Media, dated as of July 5, 2013, as amended as of November 4, 2013 (as discussed below) in which C Media would invest funds in the Company in exchange for shares of the Series E Preferred Stock, the principal amount and all unpaid interest of the Bridge Note would be automatically converted into shares of Series E Preferred Stock at a conversion price equal to the per share purchase price paid for the Series E Preferred Stock by C Media. Upon the issuance of the Series E Preferred Stock on January 31, 2014, the Bridge Note was automatically converted into 1,142,857 shares of Series E Preferred Stock, with no gain or loss recognized for the conversion of the Bridge Note for Series E Preferred Stock.

In connection with the issuance of the Bridge Note, the Company recorded debt issuance costs of approximately $370,000 that was to be amortized over the period of the earliest possible conversion date of January 31, 2014, of which $129,000 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The issuance costs included cash paid of $241,936 and the issuance of warrants to the placement agent to purchase 114,285 shares of common stock at $1.75 per share. The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: expected term of 5 years, expected dividend rate of 0%, volatility of 70% and an interest rate of 1.36% . The exercise price of the warrants was $1.75. The warrants were valued at $128,072 at the date of issuance.

(c) Amendment to Series D Stock Purchase Agreement

On November 4, 2013, in connection with the issuance of the Bridge Note, the Company and C Media entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Series D Purchase Agreement (the “Series D Amendment”). Pursuant to the original Series D Purchase Agreement, dated July 5, 2013, the Company and C Media agreed, among other things, that each party would act in good faith and with fair dealing to finalize an agreement for the purchase and sale of shares of Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of a Series E Purchase Agreement on or before October 31, 2013. Pursuant to the Series D Amendment, the parties agreed that each party would act in good faith and with fair dealing to finalize the Series E Purchase Agreement on or before the 30th day following the issuance of the Bridge Note.

Also in connection with the Series D Amendment, C Media executed a waiver and consent with the Company as of October 31, 2013 agreeing, among other things, to waive its right to redeem its Series D Preferred Stock as of October 31, 2013 until the 30th day following the issuance of the Bridge Note. On December 4, 2013, C Media exercised its extension option which extended such date to January 31, 2014.

(d) Series E Preferred Stock

On January 31, 2014, the Company entered into a Series E Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series E Purchase Agreement”) with C Media and certain other purchasers (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investors an aggregate of 14,285,714 shares of Series E Preferred Stock of the Company for $1.75 per share, or a total purchase price of $25.0 million. Among the 14,285,714 shares of Series E Preferred Stock issued to the Investors, (i) 1,142,857 shares were issued upon the conversion of the Bridge Note issued to C Media in principal amount of $2,000,000, (ii) 10,857,143 shares were issued for an aggregate purchase price of $19 million, and (iii) 2,285,714 shares were issued upon the conversion of 2,285,714 shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by C Media, which constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock, into the Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series E Purchase Agreement. In connection with the issuance of the Series E Preferred Stock, we recorded issuance costs of $4,552,347 to additional paid in capital. The issuance costs included cash paid of approximately $2,386,000 and the issuance of warrants to the placement agent to purchase 1,085,714 shares of common stock at $1.75 per share. The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: expected term of 5 years, expected dividend rate of 0%, volatility of 70% and an interest rate of 1.49% . The exercise price of the warrants was $1.75. The warrants were valued at $2,166,296 at the date of issuance.

F-19


In connection with the issuance of Series E Preferred Stock, we recorded dividends of approximately $16,402,000. This amount is comprised of (1) recognition of a deemed dividend for a beneficial conversion feature discount of $16,571,000, (2) reversal of a deemed dividend for the beneficial conversion feature discount of $183,000 related to the extinguishment of the Series D Preferred Stock and (3) cash dividends paid of $14,000 for January 2014, which is part of the total cash dividend paid, amounting to $92,054, in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Warrant Liabilities

In connection with our August 30, 2012 private financing, we issued 977,063 warrants to investors and the broker. In accordance with FASB ASC 815-40-15-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock , the warrants have been accounted as derivative liabilities to be re- measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the consolidated statement of operations. On August 30, 2012, such warrants were valued at $1,525,000 utilizing a valuation model and were initially recorded as a liability. The warrants are revalued at each reporting period based on the Monte Carlo valuation.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the warrant liability was re-valued as disclosed in Note 7, and was adjusted to its estimated fair value of approximately $395,000 and $585,000 as determined by the Company, resulting in a gain of approximately $190,000 for the year ended December 31, 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2015, no warrant was exercised.

11.

Share-Based Payments

As of December 31, 2015, the Company has 1,734,429 options and 2,191,487 warrants outstanding to purchase shares of our common stock.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share attributable to YOU On Demand shareholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to YOU On Demand shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted net loss per share equals basic net loss per share because the effect of securities convertible into common shares is anti-dilutive.

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the number of securities convertible into common shares not included in diluted loss per common share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive consists of the following:

      December 31,     December 31,  
      2015     2014  
  Warrants   2,191,487     2,191,487

Income Taxes

(a) Corporate Income Tax (“CIT”)

YOD was incorporated in Nevada and is subject to U.S. federal and state income tax.

CB Cayman was incorporated in Cayman Islands as an exempted company and is not subject to income tax under the current laws of Cayman Islands.

YOD Hong Kong was incorporated in HK as a holding company. The statutory income tax rate in HK is 16.5% .

All of the Company’s income is generated in the PRC. WFOE, YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing, Zhong Hai Video, Jinan Zhong Kuan are PRC entities. The income tax provision of these entities is calculated at the applicable tax rates on the taxable income for the periods based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in the PRC.

In accordance with the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC (“CIT Law”), effective beginning on January 1, 2008, enterprises established under the laws of foreign countries or regions and whose “place of effective management” is located within the PRC territory are considered PRC resident enterprises and subject to the PRC income tax at the rate of 25% on worldwide income. The definition of “place of effective management” refers to an establishment that exercises, in substance, and among other items, overall management and control over the production and business, personnel, accounting, and properties of an enterprise. If the Company’s non-PRC incorporated entities are deemed PRC tax residents, such entities would be subject to PRC tax under the CIT Law. Since our non-PRC entities have accumulated loss, the application of this tax rule will not result in any PRC tax liability, if our non-PRC incorporated entities are deemed PRC tax residents.

The CIT Law imposes a 10% withholding income tax, subject to reduction based on tax treaty where applicable, for dividends distributed by a foreign invested enterprise to its immediate holding company outside China. Under the PRC-HK tax treaty, the withholding tax on dividends is 5% provided that a HK holding company qualifies as a HK tax resident as defined in the tax treaty. No provision was made for the withholding income tax liability as the Company’s foreign subsidiaries were in accumulated loss.

Loss before tax and the provision for income tax benefit consists of the following components:

Deferred income taxes are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes using enacted rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $27.1 million U.S domestic cumulative tax loss carryforwards and approximately $14.6 million foreign cumulative tax loss carryforwards, which may be available to reduce future income tax liabilities in certain jurisdictions. These U.S. and foreign tax loss carryforwards will expire beginning year 2028 through 2035 and year 2015 to year 2020, respectively. The non-recognition of the tax benefits, while reducing the net operating loss carryovers, gives rise to a capital loss carryover of approximately $165,000, which expired in 2015. Utilization of net operating losses may be subject to an annual limitation due to ownership change limitations provided in the Internal Revenue Code and similar state and foreign provisions. This annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization.

F-23


Realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income in appropriate tax jurisdictions to obtain benefit from the reversal of temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards. The valuation allowance increased approximately $2.9 million and $2.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase was primarily related to increases in net operating loss carryovers, which the Company does not expect to realize.

(b) Uncertain Tax Positions

Accounting guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefit of uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. As of December 31, 2014, the unrecognized tax benefit of USD 1,718,000 resulted from the capital transaction where the Company received the shares of a third-party company with a zero tax basis. The unrecognized tax benefit was reduced to zero as a result from the lapse of the statute of limitations in 2015. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefit is as follows:

      2015     2014  
 

Balance, beginning of year

$ 584,451   $ 584,451  
 

Lapse of the statute of limitations

  (584,451 )   -  
 

Balance, end of year

$ -   $ 584,451  

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not accrue any material interest and penalties.

The Company's United States income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for at least 2010 and later years. Due to the uncertainty regarding the filing of tax returns for years before 2007, it is possible that the Company is subject to examination by the IRS for earlier years. All of the Chinese tax returns for the Chinese operating companies are subject to examination by the Chinese tax authorities for all periods from the companies' inceptions in 2007 through 2015 as applicable.

Contingencies and Commitments

(a) Severance Commitment

The Company has employment agreements with certain employees that provide severance payments upon termination of employment under certain circumstances, as defined in the applicable agreements. As of December 31, 2015, the Company's potential minimum cash obligation to these employees was approximately $1,417,000.

(b) Operating Lease Commitment

The Company is committed to paying leased property costs related to our offices in China as follows:

      Advertising and  
      Marketing  
  Year ending December 31,   Expenses  
  2016 $  450,000  
  Total $  450,000  

(e) Lawsuits and Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

15. Concentration, Credit and Other Risks

(a) PRC Regulations

The PRC market in which the Company operates poses certain macro-economic and regulatory risks and uncertainties. These uncertainties extend to the ability of the Company to conduct wireless telecommunication services through contractual arrangements in the PRC since the industry remains highly regulated. The Company conducts all of its operations in China through Zhong Hai Video, which the Group consolidates as a result of a series of contractual arrangements entered among YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing as the parent company of Zhong Hai Video and the legal shareholder of Sinotop Beijing. The Company believes that these contractual arrangements are in compliance with PRC law and are legally enforceable. If Sinotop Beijing or its legal shareholder fails to perform the obligations under the contractual arrangements or any dispute relating to these contracts remains unresolved, YOD WFOE or YOD HK can enforce its rights under the VIE contracts through the operations of PRC law and courts. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. In particular, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws, rules and regulations involve uncertainties. If YOD WFOE had direct ownership of Sinotop Beijing, it would be able to exercise its rights as a shareholder to effect changes in the board of directors of Sinotop Beijing, which in turn could effect changes at the management level, subject to any applicable fiduciary obligations. However, under the current contractual arrangements, the Company relies on Sinotop Beijing and its legal shareholder to perform their contractual obligations to exercise effective control. The Company also gives no assurance that PRC government authorities will not take a view in the future that is contrary to the opinion of the Company. If the current ownership structure of the Company and its contractual arrangements with the VIEs and their equity holders were found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, the Company's ability to conduct its business could be impacted and the Company may be required to restructure its ownership structure and operations in the PRC to comply with the changes in the PRC laws which may result in deconsolidation of the VIEs.

In addition, the telecommunications, information and media industries remain highly regulated. Restrictions are currently in place and are unclear with respect to which segments of these industries foreign owned entities, like YOD WFOE, may operate. The PRC government may issue from time to time new laws or new interpretations on existing laws to regulate areas such as telecommunications, information and media, some of which are not published on a timely basis or may have retroactive effect. For example, there is substantial uncertainty regarding the Draft Foreign Investment Law, including, among others, what the actual content of the law will be as well as the adoption and effective date of the final form of the law. Administrative and court proceedings in China may also be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. While such uncertainty exists, the Group cannot assure that the new laws, when it is adopted and becomes effective, and potential related administrative proceedings will not have a material and adverse effect on the Company's ability to control the affiliated entities through the contractual arrangements. Regulatory risk also encompasses the interpretation by the tax authorities of current tax laws, and the Group’s legal structure and scope of operations in the PRC, which could be subject to further restrictions resulting in limitations on the Group’s ability to conduct business in the PRC.

(b) Major Customers

The Company has agreements with distribution partners, including digital cable operators, IPTV operators, OTT streaming operators and mobile smartphone manufacturers and operators. A distribution partner that individually generates more than 10% of the Company’s revenue is considered a major customer.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, three customers which are MIGU Co., Ltd, Shenzhen Tianhua Century Media Limited (“Tianhua”) and Shanxi Fenteng Interaction Technology Limited (“Fenteng”) individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue. Four customers which are Fenteng, Guangzhou Aosemu Limited, Shenzhen Pingan Communication Technology Limited and Tianhua individually accounted for 10% of the Company’s net accounts receivables as of December 31, 2015.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, two customers which are Tai Sheng Si Information System Development (Beijing) Limited (“Tai Sheng Si”) and Tianhua individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue. Three customers which are Tai Sheng Si, Tianhua and Beijing Tiantian Culture Spread Limited, Sichuan Branch individually accounted for 10% of the Company’s net accounts receivables as of December 31, 2014.

F-25


(c) Major Suppliers

The Company relies on agreements with studio content partners to acquire video contents. A content partner that accounts for more than 10% of the Company’s cost of revenues is considered a major supplier.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, four suppliers which are Paramount, Disney, Universal and Twentieth Century Fox individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s cost of revenues. One supplier which is Universal individually accounted for 10% of the Company’s accrued license fees as of December 31, 2015.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, three suppliers which are Paramount, Disney and Universal individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s cost of revenues. Two suppliers which are Universal and Paramount individually accounted for 10% of the Company’s accrued license fees as of December 31, 2014.

(d) Concentration of Credit Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash, accounts receivable and other receivables. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Group’s cash were held by financial institutions located in the PRC, Hong Kong and the United States that management believes are of high-credit ratings and quality. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are mainly derived from revenues from the Group’s VOD content distribution partners. The risk with respect to accounts receivable is mitigated by regular credit evaluations that the Group performs on its distribution partners and its ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances.

(e) Foreign Currency Risks

A majority of the Group’s operating transactions are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the Group’s assets and liabilities is denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in the central government policies and to international economic and political developments. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by laws to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Group in China must be processed through PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to complete the remittance.

Cash consist of cash on hand and cash in bank, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal.

Time deposits, which mature within one year as of the balance sheet date, represent interest-bearing certificates of deposit with an initial term of greater than three months when purchased. Time deposits which mature over one year as of the balance sheet date are included in non-current assets.

Cash and time deposits maintained at banks consist of the following:

 

 

  December 31,  
 

 

  2015     2014  
 

RMB denominated bank deposits with financial institutions in the PRC

$  1,076,430   $  535,184  
 

US dollar denominated bank deposits with a financial institutions in the PRC

$  2,613,834   $  6,548,974  
 

US dollar denominated bank deposits with financial institutions in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“HK SAR”)

$ 23,460 $ 3,125,398
 

US dollar denominated bank deposits with financial institutions in The United States of America (“USA”)

$  53,231   $  599,958  
 

US dollar denominated bank deposits with financial institutions in Cayman Islands (“Cayman”)

$  99   $  186  
 

RMB restricted cash denominated bank deposits with financial institutions in the PRC

$  2,994,364   $  -  

To limit exposure to credit risk relating to bank deposits, the Company primarily places bank deposits only with large financial institutions in the PRC, HK SAR, USA and Cayman with acceptable credit rating.

16. Defined Contribution Plan

During 2011, the Company began sponsoring a 401(k) defined contribution plan ("401(k) Plan") that provides for a 100% employer matching contribution of the first 3% and a 50% employer matching contribution of each additional percent contributed by an employee up to 5% of each employee’s pay. Employees become fully vested in employer matching contributions after six months of employment. Company 401(k) matching contributions were approximately $8,000 and $31,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

17. Subsequent Event

(a) On November 23, 2015, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SSS Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Beijing Sun Seven Stars Culture Development Limited (“SSS”), a PRC company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and SSS agreed to purchase 4,545,454 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) for $2.20 per share, or total purchase price of $10.0 million. In addition, the Company agreed to issue SSS a two-year warrant (the “Warrant”) to acquire an additional 1,818,182 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. In connection with the SSS Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company will enter into a Content License Agreement (the “Content Agreement”) with SSS pursuant to which SSS shall grant the Company a non-exclusive, royalty-free content distribution right for certain assets valued at approximately $29.1 million, in exchange for 9,208,860 shares of Common Stock, at exchange value of $3.16 per share.

On December 21, 2015, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Amended and Restated SSS Purchase Agreement”) with SSS, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell and SSS agreed to purchase 4,545,454 shares of common stock of the Company Common Stock for $2.20 per share, or total purchase price of $10.0 million, and issue SSS a Warrant to purchase 1,818,182 Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. In connection with the closing of the Amended and Restated SSS purchase Agreement, on December 21, 2016, the Company entered into the Revised Content License Agreement (the “Revised Content Agreement”) pursuant to which SSS will grant the Company a non-exclusive royalty-free content distribution rights for certain assets in exchange for a promissory note (the “Note”) that is convertible into 9,208,860 shares of Common Stock (the “IP Shares”). The Note has a stated principal amount of $17.7 million, bears interest at the rate of 0.56% per annum and matures May 21, 2016. In the event of default, the Note will become immediately due and payable. Until receipt of necessary shareholder approvals, the Warrant and the Note may not be exercised or converted to the extent that such exercise or conversion would result in SSS beneficially owning more than 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. Once the necessary shareholder approval is received, the unpaid principal and interest of the Note will automatically convert into the IP Shares.

As of December 31, 2015, the closing of the aforementioned transaction was subject to certain conditions. On March 28, 2015, upon the completion of all closing conditions, the Company issued 4,545,455 shares of Common Stock, the Warrants and the Note in exchange for $10 million cash investment and content assets from SSS.

(b) On November 23, 2015, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Tianjin Enternet Network Technology Limited (“Tianjin Enternet”), an affiliate of SSS incorporated in Tianjin, China (the “Tianjin Agreement”). Under the Tianjin Agreement, Tianjin Enternet agreed to contribute 100% equity interest of Tianjin Sevenstarsflix Network Technology Limited (“SSFlix”), a to-be-formed subsidiary of Tianjin Enternet in the PRC. SSFlix will offer a branded paid content service delivered to customers ubiquitously through platform partners, will track and share consumer payment and other behavioral data, will operate a customer management and data-based service and will develop mobile social TV-based customer management portals. In exchange for the sale of the equity interest in SSFlix, Tianjin Enternet shall receive shares of common stock of the Company not to exceed 5.0 million Common Stock (the “Earn Out Share Award”) for each of 2016, 2017 and 2018, with exact amount based on earn-out provisions (the “SSFlix Earn-Out”) as detailed as follows:

  For 2016, if either (i) the number of homes and/or users subscribing to one or more of the content services provided by SSFlix (the “Homes/Users Passed”) is greater than or equal to 50.0 million Homes/Users Passed, or (ii) the net income of SSFlix’s business is greater than or equal to the earn-out net income threshold of $4.0 million net income;
     
  For 2017, if either (i) the Homes/Users Passed is greater than or equal to 100.0 million Homes/Users Passed, or (ii) the net income of SSFlix’s business is greater than or equal to the earn-out net income threshold of $6.0 million net income;
     
  For 2018, if either (i) the Homes/Users Passed is greater than or equal to 150.0 million Homes/Users Passed, or (ii) the net income of SSFlix’s business is greater than or equal to the earn-out net income threshold of $8.0 million net income.

On December 21, 2015, the Company and Tianjin Enternet entered into an Amended and Restated Share Purchase Agreement (the “Amended Tianjin Agreement”) pursuant to which the Earn-Out Share Award is further subject to approval from either (i) the holders of a majority of the total votes cast in person or by proxy at a meeting of the Company’s shareholders or (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote on the relevant matters, if such action is taken by written consent (the “Earn-Out Required Vote”). In the event the Company has not obtained the Earn-Out Required Vote but SSFlix has met one of the target thresholds described above, the Company will not issue an Earn-Out Share Award to Tianjin Entertnet, but instead will issue to Tianjin a Promissory Note (the “Tianjin Note”), with a principal amount equal to the quotient obtained by multiplying 5.0 million Common Stock by the Company’s applicable stock price.

As of December 31, 2015, certain closing conditions, including transfer of SSFlix to the Company, was yet to be completed.

(c) On January 22, 2016, the Company terminated the employment of Mr. Weicheng Liu as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company and entered into a separation agreement with him as of such date (the “Liu Separation Agreement”). In connection therewith, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) appointed Mr. Mingcheng Tao as the new CEO of the Company, and entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Tao on such date.

Pursuant to the Liu Separation Agreement, the Company agreed to provide Mr. Liu with payment of $405,000, less standard payroll withholdings as applicable, which shall be paid to Mr. Liu in equal installments over a period of 18 months beginning in February 2016. However, payment may be accelerated if Mr. Liu completes all signature and documentation requirements and assist the Company in restructuring its VIE to the Company’s satisfaction prior to February 28, 2016, under which the Company shall pay 1/3 of $405,000 as a lump sum, with the remaining 2/3 paid equally over the following 12 months. In addition, the Company also agreed to provide Mr. Liu (1) a one-time lump sum payment of $60,000, (2) earned, accrued but unpaid salary through January 22, 2015, and (3) four weeks base salary for accrued, earned but unused vacation time, and made these payments to Mr. Liu on February 1, 2016. Furthermore, all outstanding unvested options, warrants or restricted stock previously granted to Mr. Liu became fully vested, and previously granted options and warrants are exercisable for the full term of the option or warrant.

F-27


Mr. Liu also agreed to provide certain transition services to the Company, including implementation of employment decisions, restructuring the ownership and control of the Company’s VIE structure, assistance in renewing certain client relationships, among others. If Mr. Liu is able to renew certain contractual relationships and receive payments thereunder within defined timeframes, Mr. Liu could earn additional sums.

(d) On February 24, 2016, the Company entered into a property rights transfer agreement with Beijing Kuntin Taiming Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“Taiming”) to purchase office premise located in Xinghu Innovation Park, Taihu Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing (the “Property Agreement”). Total area of land use right is 48,263.497 square meters and land use term is from September 29, 2010 to August 19, 2060. Total purchase price of the building was approximately RMB27 million (approximately $4,158,000).

(e) On January 22, 2016, the Company entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Sinotop Beijing and Zhang Yan to terminate certain contractual arrangements, including the Option Agreement, dated March 9, 2010, among YOD HK, Sinotop Beijing and Zhang Yan, the sole shareholder of Sinotop Beijing, the Termination, Assignment and Assumption Agreement among YOD HK, YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing and Zhang Yan dated June 4,2012, Voting Rights Proxy Agreement among YOD HK, YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing and Zhang Yan dated June 4, 2012, Equity Pledge Agreement among YOD HK, YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing and Zhang Yan dated June 4, 2012 and Power of Attorney Agreement among YOD HK, YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing and Zhang Yan dated June 4,2012 (collectively, the “Old Sinotop VIE Agreements”). Simultaneously, Zhang Yan entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement with Bing Wu and Yun Zhu, whereby Zhang Yan transferred 100% of her equity ownership in Sinotop Beijing to Bing Wu and Yun Zhu. Upon the conclusion of the transfer arrangement, Bing Wu and Yun Zhu held 95% and 5%, respectively, of equity ownership in Sinotop Beijing.

On the same day, the Company entered into the following contractual arrangements with Bing Wu and Yun Zhu: Call Option Agreement among YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing, Bing Wu and Yun Zhu, dated as of January 25, 2016; Equity Pledge Agreement among YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing, Bing Wu and Yun Zhu, dated as of January 25, 2016; Power of Attorney Agreement among YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing and Bing Wu and YOD WFOE, Sinotop Beijing and Yun Zhu, both dated as of January 25, 2016; Technical Services Agreement among YOD WFOE and Sinotop Beijing, dated as of January 25, 2016 (collectively, the “New Sinotop VIE Agreements”).

Although the New Sinotop VIE Agreements will result in a change to the legal shareholders of Sintop Beijing, there will be no change in the Company’s ability to control Sinotop Beijing or the Company’s rights to 100% of the economic benefit of Sinotop Beijing. The Company was the primary beneficiary of Sinotop Beijing prior to the signing of the New Sinotop VIE Agreements and the Company will remain the primary beneficiary of Sinotop Beijing upon the signing of the New Sinotop VIE Agreements.

The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder (which shall include the Holder or, as the case may be, any registered assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder from time to time). The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.


 3.      Record of Assignments; Restrictions on Assignment . The Company shall register any assignment of all or any portion of this Warrant to an Affiliate or designee of the Holder in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or assignment, a new Warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new Warrant, a “ New Warrant ”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so assigned shall be issued to the assignee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so assigned, if any, shall be issued to the assigning Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the assignee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such assignee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant.

4.     Exercise and Duration of Warrant .

a.     Subject to Section 4(a), all or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by Section 4 of this Warrant at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date and through and including the Expiration Time. At the Expiration Time, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value and this Warrant shall be terminated and shall no longer be outstanding.

b.     The Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company: (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the “ Exercise Notice ”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised. The date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “ Exercise Date .” The Holder shall be required to deliver the original Warrant, or any New Warrant that may have been previously issued, in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant, or any New Warrant that may have been previously issued, and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

c.     The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof.

d.     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, until receipt of the favorable vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable notice of exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other securities of the Company or its subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time shares of Common Stock) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, for purposes of this Section 4(d), “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a notice of exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (i) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) a more recent notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Upon the request of the Holder, the Company shall promptly, and in any event within one trading day of such request, confirm to the Holder the number shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Holder shall not be entitled to vote any shares of Common Stock acquired by it pursuant to this Warrant or the other Company Agreements in connection with any such stockholder approval sought by the Company.

5.     Delivery of Warrant Shares .

a.     Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered the Holder a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise. “ Trading Day ” shall mean a date on which the Company’s Common Stock trades on its principal trading market (the “ Trading Market ”). The Holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon the written request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (“ DTCC ”) or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available; provided, that, the Company may, but will not be required to, change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through DTCC or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available. If as of the time of exercise the Warrant Shares constitute restricted or control securities, the Holder, by exercising, agrees not to resell them except in compliance with all applicable securities laws.

3


b.     To the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereto the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

c.     If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates (or, if electronically, a book-entry position) representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms hereof by the applicable delivery date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

6.      Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance and delivery of a certificate or the certificates (or, if electronically, a book-entry position) representing the Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate or certificates (or, if electronically, a book-entry position), all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or the Warrant in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

7.     Replacement of Warrant . If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof: or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The Holder’s application for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures, and the Holder shall pay such reasonable third-party costs, as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

8.     Reservation of Warrant Shares . The Company covenants that it will reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof: be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

4


9.     Certain Adjustments to Exercise Price . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9 .

a.     Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations and Stock Dividends . If the Company shall at any time, or from time to time after the date hereof, effect a stock split or combination of the outstanding Common Stock or pay a stock dividend in shares of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustments under this Section 9(a) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination becomes effective or the date of payment of the stock dividend, as applicable.

b.     Merger, Sale, Reclassification, etc . In case of any: (i) consolidation or merger (including a merger in which the Company is the surviving entity), (ii) sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or distribution of property to shareholders (other than distributions payable out of earnings or retained earnings), or reclassification, change or conversion of the outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof: then and in each such case the Holder of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof at any time thereafter shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition, reclassification, change, conversion or reorganization, the stock or other securities or property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto.

10.     No Fractional Shares . No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported by the Trading Market on the Exercise Date.

11.      Notices . Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be delivered in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.3 of the SPA.

12.     Warrant Agent . The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon thirty (30) calendar days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

5

(i)      On or before the date which is thirty (30) days following the end of each Earn-Out Year (the “ Earn-Out Calculation Delivery Date ”), Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a written statement (the “ Earn-Out Calculation Statement ”), to be reviewed and approved by the Buyer’s Board of Directors, setting forth in reasonable detail its determination of the number of Homes/Users Passed (as determined and calculated pursuant to and as set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto) and the Business Net Income for the Earn-Out Year for which such Earn-Out Calculation Statement has been prepared (the “ Earn-Out Calculations ”). Buyer shall provide any and all reasonable assistance to Seller in preparing the calculations.

(ii)      Buyer shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Earn-Out Calculation Statement (the “ Review Period ”) to review the Earn-Out Calculation Statement and the Earn-Out Calculations set forth therein. Unless Buyer delivers written notice to Seller setting forth the specific items disputed by Buyer on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of the Earn-Out Calculation Statement (delivered in accordance with Section 11.2 ), Buyer will be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the Earn-Out Calculation Statement and such Earn-Out Calculation Statement (and the calculations contained therein) will be final, binding and conclusive.

(iii)      If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days after such an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice has been given, all unresolved disputed items (the “ Earn-Out Disputed Items ”) shall be promptly referred to an international independent accounting firm of recognized standing mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (the “ Neutral Arbitrator ”). The Neutral Arbitrator shall act as an arbitrator to determine only the Earn-Out Disputed Items and shall be directed to render a written report (such written report to include a work sheet setting forth all material calculations used in arriving at such determination and to be based solely on information provided to the Neutral Arbitrator by Buyer and Seller) on the unresolved Earn-Out Disputed Items with respect to the applicable Earn-Out Calculation as promptly as practicable, but in no event greater than thirty (30) days after such submission to the Neutral Arbitrator and to resolve only those unresolved disputed items set forth in the Earn Out Calculation Objection Notice.

If any Party fails to submit a supporting brief regarding any Earn-Out Disputed Item submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator within the time set forth above or otherwise fails to give the Neutral Arbitrator access as reasonably requested, then the Neutral Arbitrator shall render a decision based solely on the evidence timely submitted and the access afforded to the Neutral Arbitrator by Buyer and Seller. The Neutral Arbitrator shall resolve the disputed items based solely on the applicable definitions and other terms in this Agreement and the presentations by Buyer and Seller, and not by independent review. In resolving each Earn-Out Disputed Item, the Neutral Arbitrator may not assign a value to any Earn-Out Disputed Item greater than the greatest value for such Earn-Out Disputed Item claimed by any Party or less than the lowest value for such Earn-Out Disputed Item claimed by any Party. The resolution of the dispute and the calculations of the number of Homes/Users Passed and the Business Net Income shall be final and binding on the Parties absent manifest error. All fees and expenses of the Neutral Arbitrator in connection with its work on the disputed items as described in this Section 2.3(b)(iii) shall be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such disputed items so submitted to the Neutral Arbitrator that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such Party (as finally determined by the Neutral Arbitrator) bears to the total amount of such disputed items so submitted.

(ii)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event Buyer has not obtained the Required Vote, Buyer shall not issue an Earn-Out Share Award to Seller, or any account or Affiliate designated by Seller, but instead shall issue to Seller, or an account or Affiliate designated by Seller, in full satisfaction of its obligations under this Section 2.2 , a Promissory Note, with a principal amount equal to the quotient obtained by multiplying 5,000,000 by the Applicable Stock Price. Buyer shall issue any such Promissory Note no later than five (5) business days following the final determination of the Earn-Out Calculations pursuant to Section 2.3(b) for any Earn-Out Year, if (A) either of the Earn-Out Homes/Users Passed Threshold or the Earn-Out Net Income Threshold has been satisfied for the applicable Earn-Out Year; and (B) Buyer has not obtained the Required Vote.

The Indemnitee shall have the right to be represented by counsel at its own expense in any such contest, defense, litigation or settlement conducted by the Indemnitor. Seller shall lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third Party Claim if it shall fail to diligently contest the Third Party Claim.

Such notice by the Indemnitee shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee. Seller shall have fifteen (15) days after Seller’s receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim.

If Seller does not so respond within such fifteen (15)-day period, Seller shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that the applicable Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder in respect of such Direct Claim.

8.5       Satisfaction of Indemnification Claims . If Seller shall acknowledge and agree in writing, or it is finally determined pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Article X hereof, that an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder in respect of Losses incurred by such Indemnitee (the date of such acknowledgement and agreement or determination, the “ Claim Determination Date ”), Seller shall make payment in respect of such Losses within five (5) days following the Claim Determination Date (i) by delivering to such Indemnitee that number of shares of Buyer Stock equal in value to the amount of the Losses to be indemnified hereunder or, at the option of Buyer, (ii) by reducing the principal amount of the Promissory Notes outstanding, and any interest accrued thereon, by the amount of such Losses. Further, at the option of Buyer, the indemnifiable Losses of any Indemnitee may be satisfied by Buyer withholding from any future Earn-Out Share Award to which Seller is entitled that number of Earn-Out Shares equal in value to the amount of the indemnifiable Losses of such Indemnitee. For purposes of calculating the number of shares of Buyer Stock necessary to satisfy the Losses of an Indemnitee as described in this Section 8.5 , each share of Buyer Stock shall be valued using the Applicable Stock Price.

I understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under Section 5.1 of the Agreement represent, in part, consideration for signing this General Release and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree that I will not receive the payments and benefits specified in Section 5.1 of the Agreement unless I execute this General Release and do not revoke this General Release within the time period permitted hereafter or breach this General Release. Such payments and benefits will not be considered compensation for purposes of any employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement maintained or hereafter established by the Company or its respective affiliates.

7.

In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state or local statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the Agreement. I further agree that in the event that I should bring a Claim seeking damages against the Company, or in the event that I should seek to recover against the Company in any Claim brought by a governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims to the maximum extent permitted by law.

   
8.

I agree that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this General Release, shall be deemed or construed at any time to be an admission by the Company, any Released Party or myself of any improper or unlawful conduct.

Nonetheless, I understand that this General Release applies to and effects a release and waiver of any such claim.

12



13.

Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. This General Release constitutes the complete and entire agreement and understanding among the parties, and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, commitments, understandings or arrangements, whether written or oral, between or among any of the parties, in each case concerning the subject matter hereof.
