PART 1
 
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
OVERVIEW
 
Sparking Events, Inc. (“Sparking Events,” “the Company”, “us”, “our” or “we,”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit company on November 29, 2006 and established a fiscal year end of February 28. We are a development-stage company organized to enter into the special event, concert production and martial arts promotion industry.  As a result of the Exchange with APlus International, Ltd., we have adopted the business plan of APlus, and now design, manufacture, market and sell advanced lighting solutions, including light emitting diode (LED) lighting and other energy-saving lighting.  We offer a wide range of technically innovative indoor white light, color-changing and outdoor lighting solutions that are used for applications in public, commercial, architectural, residential, gardening, and entertainment markets. Our solutions provide many benefits over traditional incandescent, halogen, fluorescent, and compact fluorescent (CFL) light sources, including lower energy consumption, longer life spans, and absence of hazardous materials, lower maintenance costs and greater design flexibility.
 
Our advanced LED lighting solutions are based on proprietary designs and patented technologies associated with industrial design, electrical, optical, mechanical and thermal engineering. We have developed domain expertise and applications knowledge for end-user requirements in diverse markets. As a result, we are able to offer total lighting solutions, which provide better performance and lower overall cost to users.
 
According to Freedonia Group, a market research company, the global lighting industry is estimated to be approximately $120 billion in 2012 and the average growth rate will be around 5% annually. On the contrary, iSupply, another market research company, predicts that the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for LED lighting will be up to 14.6% during 2008 to 2012. The lighting fixtures include a variety of technologies, such as incandescent, fluorescent, halogen, high intensity discharge (HID), neon, compact inflorescent (CFL) and advanced lighting solutions (LED lighting, OLED lighting and others). Product selection for users is influenced several factors, including overall cost, visual and physical product features, as well as regulatory and environmental factors. With rapid advancements in the performance, efficiency and cost of LED-based solutions, traditional light sources, such as incandescent lamps and fluorescent lamps, are beginning to be replaced by advanced technologies with lower overall costs over their life spans. Furthermore, the energy-efficient nature of LED makes it an environmentally friendly light source and its compact size has given the design of lighting fixtures with much more flexibilities and possibilities. A-Plus believes that our innovative LED lighting solutions are well positioned to increasingly displace traditional lightings in our targeted markets.
 
A-Plus international Ltd. offers a broad portfolio of LED lighting solutions. Our LED lighting products include outdoor lights, indoor white lights, and indoor accent lights. We also offer LED-based signage,  head-up displays (HUDs) and tail lights for cars. These products are marketed under Xodtec and Danhui (primarily in Taiwan and China market) brands. End-users utilize our lighting products for interior and exterior lighting to provide illumination and to create accent visual effects which are superior to traditional lighting sources.
 
We organize our company by business divisions and functional divisions, each with a specific function and market focus, in order to accelerate the adoption of our LED lighting solutions in a number of markets. Strong links with our sales outlets enable us to educate a broad audience about the benefits of our LED lighting solutions. These relationships also allow us to increasingly sell our LED lighting solutions to end markets and quickly collect market responses. We believe that we can advance our goal of becoming one of the leading providers of energy-efficient lighting solutions by investing in our technology position, developing new innovative products, and leveraging the strengths of our sales outlets.
 
The Lighting Industry
 
According to the Freedonia Group, the estimated global lighting industry revenue of $120 billion in 2012 is divided between two major product categories, fixtures and light lamp. The fixtures category includes all apparatuses, fixtures and systems, while light lamps consist of the replaceable devices that emit light. Fixtures are constructed from metal, glass or plastic and are available in a range of decorative styles for residential, commercial and industrial applications. Traditional light lamps include incandescent, fluorescent, halogen and HID products. For energy consumption concerns, traditional incandescent lamps are being prohibited by more and more countries. For residential applications within the general illumination market, inexpensive halogen lamps and traditional fluorescent tubes are preferred choice, but expensive compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are getting more popular. For commercial applications, more expensive and durable fluorescent and HID bulbs and fixtures have the largest market share.

In most Asian countries, lighting manufacturers sell products through either manufacturer’s representatives, electrical supply representatives or an internal sales force to electrical wholesale distributors. The distributors then market products to electrical contractors and other end-users. Representatives also have direct contact with lighting designers, electrical engineers, architects and general contractors that influence buying decisions. The manufacturer’s representatives often provide value added services, such as product promotion or design and implementation assistance. The ability of smaller companies to compete against larger more established rivals is heavily rooted in their capacity to leverage their unique product portfolios and customer service to garner maximum productivity from each representative.
 
Historically, large global competitors focused almost exclusively on the general illumination market because of their advantage in purchasing power, manufacturing volume and distribution efficiency, while smaller industry participants generally competed in niche markets primarily by offering specialized products and superior customer service to their regions. However, the evolution of solid state lighting solutions has enabled smaller companies to penetrate and compete in the larger general illumination market.
 
LED Lighting Industry Trends
 
LEDs are semiconductor-based devices that emit light. As the cost of LEDs decreases and their performance improves, we expect that they will continue to compete more effectively in the general illumination market versus traditional lighting. According to the survey made by Strategies Unlimited, there were over $1.86 billion of LED lighting products sold in 2008 and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during 2009 to 2012 will be around 28% -- a figure which is forecasted to grow to $5 billion by 2012. Specialist in Business Information (SBI), another market research company, even predicts to grow up to $14 billion in 2013. The Company believes the LED lighting industry may experience the following trends:
 
Technological innovations expand LED functionalities . Since its introduction in the 1960s, LED has offered an increasingly wide variety of colored lighting. The initial applications of LEDs included traffic lights, automotive brake lights and indicator lights. In the mid-1990s, LEDs became capable of emitting blue light. In 1993, GaN series blue light LED was developed, white light LED then become a feasible product.
 
White light refers to the light obtained by mixing many lights of different colors, such as second wavelength long light (blue light + yellow light) or third wavelength light (blue light + green light + red light). White light LED technology can effectively save energy and reduce the emission of carbon dioxide when use in general lighting. Thus, with the increasing awareness in environmental protection, lighting devices using white light LED as the light source will proliferate dramatically.
 
Advancements in LEDs’ performance stimulate adoption in general lighting . Technological advancements in LED lighting have resulted in a new breed of LEDs that can meet specifications previously only satisfied by traditional lighting sources. LED lighting solutions were historically regarded as expensive in relation to their delivered light output.
 
In an effort to lower energy consumption, lighting companies are focused on increasing the luminous flux -- lumens per watt. Traditional incandescent lighting sources can produce between 10 and 35 lumens per watt, while fluorescent and HID light sources can produce output near 100 lumens per watt. Today’s LEDs have overwhelmed incandescent performance and are exceeding 100 lumens per watt, making them comparable to and even exceeding fluorescent and HID light sources.

Unique capabilities of LEDs broaden applications and create new lighting alternatives . Key LED features, including quality of light output, long life, low power consumption, low heat output and full digital control are accelerating adoption and expanding market opportunities. Additional attributes, including design flexibility, color-changing effects, digital dimming capabilities, remote control, smaller size and rapid start-up time are creating new lighting applications for LEDs in commercial, architectural, residential, and entertainment markets.
 
High energy costs and conservation efforts drive LED adoption . According to a statistics, lighting applications contribute about 22% of all energy consumption. High energy costs have resulted in increased demand for more energy-efficient lighting solutions, which has inspired a natural shift to LEDs. LED lighting technology is inherently more energy-efficient and can result in more than 80% and 50% in power savings over traditional incandescent and fluorescent solutions, respectively. In addition, unlike other alternatives such as compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL), LED lighting solutions are free of hazardous materials such as mercury, which can be harmful to the environment.
 
Regulatory influences spur market adoption of energy-efficient LED lighting . Government regulations, such as initiatives by the United States Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency’s EnergyStar Certification Program, are driving adoption of more energy-efficient lighting solutions. EnergyStar sets industry-wide international standards for lighting products that outline efficiency and performance criteria, helping manufacturers promote their products and consumers better understand lighting products. Legislation and the trend toward environmental consciousness are critical drivers of lighting demand, as governments, industry associations, and industrial and residential consumers move toward employing lighting solutions that comply with regulatory requirements, conserve energy and present no threat to the environment when disposed.

RISK FACTORS
 
Investing in the Company's common stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included or referred to in this Current Report on Form 8-K, before purchasing shares of the Company's common stock. There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent the Company from achieving its goals. The risks described below are not the only ones the Company will face. If any of these risks actually occur, the Company's business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of the Company's common stock could decline and investors in the Company's common stock could lose all or part of their investment. 
 
Risks Specific to Us 
 
Downturns in general economic and market conditions could materially and adversely affect our business.
 
Lighting industry, especially residential lighting market is greatly affected by the economic downturns.  The sale of our lighting products is related to the quantity of new building construction and renovation. Decline in housing transactions causes less demand for lighting products and conservative shopping habits learned during economic downturns means people have less desires to try advanced LED lighting products.
 
In addition, our outdoor lighting products are mainly sold through government tender bids and installed in public areas such as parks, rapid railway stations, highways and other public buildings will likely be materially. If these municipalities have less funds budgeted fro these projects as a result of general economic conditions, sales of our outdoor lighting products the government budgeting which is inevitably influenced by general economic downturns.
 
If our lighting solutions do not gain expected market acceptance, prospects for our sales revenue and profit may be affected.
 
The public’s relative unfamiliarity with LED lighting products may slow their market acceptance. Potential customers for our advanced lighting systems may be reluctant to adopt these as alternatives to traditional lighting technologies because of their higher initial cost to achieve comparable light output
 
Obstacles to widespread adoption of LED lighting solutions include the comparatively high cost of high brightness white LEDs and the need for further advances in brightness, light quality, efficiency and the predicted life of the LEDs before they require replacement. The future development of the attractiveness to potential customers may depend on such innovation of high quality LEDs.
 
If we are not able to compete effectively with other competitors, our prospects for future growth will be jeopardized.
 
There is significant competition in the lighting industry with more established companies We are not only competing with other LED lighting solution providers but also with companies offering traditional lighting products, which are usually more established and have greater resources to devote to research and development, manufacturing and marketing than we have.
 
White light is the most popularly utilized light in our environment and therefore the white light market is the most attracted market to large companies such as General Electric, Osram and Philips Electronics. These companies have advantages of global marketing capabilities and substantially greater resources to devote to research over than companies with scope like us.
 
Our competitors may promote lighting solutions which are more readily accepted by customers than our products and maybe required to reduce the prices of our products in order to remain competitive.

If critical components become unavailable or contract manufacturers delay their production, our business will be negatively impacted.
 
Stability of component supply is crucial to determine our manufacturing process. As some critical components, such as LEDs, are supplied by certain third party component manufacturers, we may be unable to acquire necessary amounts of key components at competitive prices.
 
Outsourcing the production of certain parts and components is one way to reduce manufacturing costs. We have selected these particular manufacturers based on their ability to consistently produce these products according to our requirements and ensure the best quality product at the most cost effective price. Contrarily, the loss of all or one of these suppliers or delays in obtaining shipments could have a adverse effect on our operations until an alternative supplier could be found, if one may be located at all.  This may cause us to breach our contracts and lose sales.
 
If our contract manufacturers fail to meet our requirements for quality, quantity and timeliness, our business growth could be harmed.
 
We design and procure key components (such as LEDs) and outsource our products to contract manufacturers. These manufacturers procure most of the raw materials for us and provide all necessary facilities and labor to manufacture our products. If these companies are to terminate their agreements with us without adequate notice, or fail to provide the required capacity and quality on a timely basis, we would be unable to process and deliver our lighting products to our customers.
 
If we fail to successfully manage our relationships with our distributors and customers, we could lose revenues.
 
Most of our products are sold through our distributors and franchise stores, which other provide the first-line technical support to end-users. If these distributors and franchised stores do not feel confident about our products/supports, they may seek to change their terms with us, or alter their ordering patterns with us which there could be a significant impact on our revenue and profits.
 
Our products could contain defects or they may be installed or operated incorrectly, which could reduce sales of those products or result in claims against us.
 
Although we have experienced quality control and assurance personnel and established thorough quality assurance practices to ensure good product quality, defects still may be found in the future in our existing or future products.
 
End-users could lose their confidence in our products and company when they unexpectedly use defective products. This could result in loss of revenue, loss of profit margin, or loss of market share. Moreover, these defects could cause us to incur significant warranty, support and repair costs, and harm our relationship with our customers.
 
If we are unable to recruit and retain qualified personnel, our business could be harmed.
 
Our growth and success highly depend on qualified personnel. So we are inevitable to make all efforts to recruit and retain skilled technical, sales, marketing, managerial, manufacturing, and administrative personnel. Competitions among the industry could cause us difficultly to recruit or retain a sufficient number of qualified technical personnel, which could harm our ability to develop new products. If we are unable to attract and retain necessary key talents, it definitely will harm our ability to develop competitive product and keep good customers and could adversely affect our business and operating results.
 
Risks Related to the Securities Markets and Investments in Our Common Stock  
 
Because our common stock is quoted on the "OTCBB," your ability to sell your shares in the secondary trading market may be limited.  
 
Our common stock is currently quoted on the over-the-counter market on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. Consequently, the liquidity of our common stock is impaired, not only in the number of shares that are bought and sold, but also through delays in the timing of transactions, and coverage by security analysts and the news media, if any, of our company. As a result, prices for shares of our common stock may be lower than might otherwise prevail if our common stock was quoted and traded on Nasdaq or a national securities exchange. 

 
13

 

Because our shares are "penny stocks," you may have difficulty selling them in the secondary trading market.  
 
Federal regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regulate the trading of so-called "penny stocks," which are generally defined as any security not listed on a national securities exchange or Nasdaq, priced at less than $5.00 per share and offered by an issuer with limited net tangible assets and revenues. Since our common stock currently is quoted on the "OTCBB" at less than $5.00 per share, our shares are "penny stocks" and may not be traded unless a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith is delivered to a potential purchaser prior to any trade. 
 
In addition, because our common stock is not listed on Nasdaq or any national securities exchange and currently is quoted at and trades at less than $5.00 per share, trading in our common stock is subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act. Under this rule, broker-dealers must take certain steps prior to selling a "penny stock," which steps include: 
 
 
obtaining financial and investment information from the investor;
 
 
obtaining a written suitability questionnaire and purchase agreement signed by the investor; and
 
 
providing the investor a written identification of the shares being offered and the quantity of the shares. 
 
If these penny stock rules are not followed by the broker-dealer, the investor has no obligation to purchase the shares. The application of these comprehensive rules will make it more difficult for broker-dealers to sell our common stock and our shareholders, therefore, may have difficulty in selling their shares in the secondary trading market. 
 
Our stock price may be volatile and your investment in our common stock could suffer a decline in value.  
 
As of April 20, 2009, there have been no trading activities in the Company’s common stock.  There can be no assurance that a market will ever develop in the Company’s common stock in the future.  If a market does not develop then investors would be unable to sell any of the Company’s common stock likely resulting in a complete loss of any funds therein invested .
 
Should a market develop, the price may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include: 
 
 
acceptance of our products in the industry;
 
 
announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;
 
 
government regulatory action affecting our products or our competitors' products in both the United States and foreign countries;
 
 
developments or disputes concerning patent or proprietary rights;
 
 
economic conditions in the United States or abroad;
 
 
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
 
 
broad market fluctuations; and
 
 
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts.

A registration of a significant amount of our outstanding restricted stock may have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.  
 
At April 20, 2009,shareholders of the Company had approximately 18,035,000 post-split adjusted shares of restricted stock, or 92.3% of the outstanding common stock. If we were to file a registration statement including all of these shares, and the registration is allowed by the SEC, these shares would be freely tradable upon the effectiveness of the planned registration statement. If investors holding a significant number of freely tradable shares decide to sell them in a short period of time following the effectiveness of a registration statement, such sales could contribute to significant downward pressure on the price of our stock. 
 
We do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, any return on your investment in our capital stock must come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of the capital stock.
 
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and expansion of our business. Any credit agreements, which we may enter into with institutional lenders, may restrict our ability to pay dividends. Whether we pay cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and any other factors that the board of directors decides is relevant. Therefore, any return on your investment in our capital stock must come from increases in the fair market value and trading price of the capital stock.
 
We may issue additional equity shares to fund the Company's operational requirements which would dilute your share ownership.
 
The Company's continued viability depends on its ability to raise capital. Changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions may lead to cost increases. Management may also determine that it is in the best interest of the Company to develop new services or products. In any such case additional financing is required for the Company to meet its operational requirements. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to the Company and at times required by the Company, if at all. In such event, the Company may be required to materially alter its business plan or curtail all or a part of its operational plans as detailed further in Management's Discussion and Analysis in this Form 8-K. While the Company currently has no offers to sell it securities to obtain financing, sale or the proposed sale of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our stock price may decline substantially. In the event that the Company is unable to raise or borrow additional funds, the Company may be required to curtail significantly its operational plans as further detailed in Requirements for Additional Capital in the Management Discussion and Analysis of this Form 8-K.
 
The Company’s proposed Amended Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 225,000,000 total shares of Common Stock without additional approval by shareholders. As of April 20, 2009, we had 18,075,000 post-split adjusted shares of common stock outstanding, and warrants and options convertible to post-split adjusted 1,500,000 shares of common stock outstanding.
 
Because our common stock is quoted only on the OTCBB, your ability to sell your shares in the secondary trading market may be limited.  
 
Our common stock is quoted only on the OTCBB.  Consequently, the liquidity of our common stock is impaired, not only in the number of shares that are bought and sold, but also through delays in the timing of transactions, and coverage by security analysts and the news media, if any, of our company. As a result, prices for shares of our common stock may be different than might otherwise prevail if our common stock was quoted or traded on a national securities exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange.

Large amounts of our common stock will be eligible for resale under Rule 144.  
 
As of April 20, 2009, approximately 16,700,000 of the 18,075,000 issued and outstanding post-split shares of the Company's common stock are restricted securities as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and under certain circumstances may be resold without registration pursuant to Rule 144.  
 
Approximately 1,950,000 shares of our post-split adjusted restricted shares of common stock are held by non-affiliates who may avail themselves of the public information requirements and sell their shares in accordance with Rule 144. As a result, some or all of these shares may be sold in accordance with Rule 144 potentially causing the price of the Company's shares to decline. 
 
In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied a six month holding period may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three-month period a number of securities which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock or the average weekly trading volume of the class during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of securities, without any limitation, by a person who is not an Affiliate, as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1), of the Company and who has satisfied a one year holding period. Any substantial sale of the Company's common stock pursuant to Rule 144 may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Company's shares. This filing will satisfy certain public information requirements necessary for such shares to be sold under Rule 144.     However, since the Company has previously indicated in its filings with the Commission that it is a shell company, as that term is defined under the Securities Act, pursuant to Rule 144, shareholders must wait at least one year from the date of the filing of this Form 8-K to avail themselves of Rule 144 unless we file a registration statement for the sale of such shares prior thereto.
 
The requirements of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley act may strain our resources and distract management  
 
We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. the costs associated with these requirements may place a strain on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. Historically, as a private company we have maintained a small accounting staff, but in order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, significant additional resources and management oversight will be required. This includes, among other things, retaining independent public accountants. This effort may divert management's attention from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, we may need to hire additional accounting and financial persons with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so in a timely fashion.  
 
Our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders control our business and may make decisions that are not in our stockholders' best interests.  
 
As of April 20, 2009 our officers, directors, and principal stockholders, and their affiliates, in the aggregate, beneficially owned approximately 75% of the outstanding shares of our common stock on a fully diluted basis. As a result, such persons, acting together, have the ability to substantially influence all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election and removal of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and to control our management and affairs. Accordingly, such concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our business, even if such a transaction would be beneficial to other stockholders.
 
Sales of additional equity securities may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and your rights in the Company may be reduced.  
 
We expect to continue to incur drug development and selling, general and administrative costs, and in order to satisfy our funding requirements, we may need to sell additional equity securities. Our stockholders may experience substantial dilution and a reduction in the price that they are able to obtain upon sale of their shares. Also, any new securities issued may have greater rights, preferences or privileges than our existing common stock which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our stock price may decline substantially.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
 
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principle) financial measure provided as additional information to investors. EBITDA is an alternative method for assessing our financial condition and operating results. EBITDA is not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. However, we believe that EBITDA may provide additional information with respect to our performance and ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements.
 
Whenever we refer to a non-GAAP financial measure we will present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures we reference with such comparable GAAP financial measure.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In May 2008, the FASB released SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the accounting principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days after the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  The Company does not expect the implementation of this guidance to have a material impact on the financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 gives financial statement users better information about the reporting entity's hedges by providing for qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material effect on the financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The standard provides entities the ability, on an elective basis, to report most financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value, with corresponding gains and losses recognized in current earnings. The Company did not elect the fair value option under SFAS No. 159 as of January 1, 2008 for any of our financial assets and liabilities that were not already fair valued. The Company will consider applying the fair value option to future transactions as provided by the standard. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 159 to have a material impact on the financial statements.

 
23

 

In December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This standard revises and enhances the guidance set forth in SFAS No. 141(R) by establishing a definition for the “acquirer,” providing additional guidance on the recognition of acquired contingencies and non-controlling interests, and broadening the scope of the standard to include all transactions involving a transfer in control, irrespective of the consideration involved in the transfer. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs in a fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Although the standard will not have any impact on the current financial statements, application of the new guidance could be significant to the Company in the context of future merger and acquisition activity.

In December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51”. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on the financial statements.
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors.

 (1) "Beneficial Owner" means having or sharing, directly or indirectly (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting, or (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or to direct the disposition, of shares of the common stock of an issuer. The definition of beneficial ownership includes shares, underlying options or warrants to purchase common stock, or other securities convertible into common stock, that currently are exercisable or convertible or that will become exercisable or convertible within 60 days. Unless otherwise indicated, the beneficial owner has sole voting and investment power.
 
(2) For each shareholder, the calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership is based upon 91,970,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 11 2007, and shares of Common Stock subject to options, warrants and/or conversion rights held by the shareholder that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days, which are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the shareholder holding such options, warrants, or conversion rights. The percentage ownership of any shareholder is determined by assuming that the shareholder has exercised all options, warrants and conversion rights to obtain additional securities and that no other shareholder has exercised such rights.

5. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS.

All of the Company’s executive officers and directors were appointed on December 6, 2007, the effective date of the Acquisition. All directors hold office until the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and until the election and qualification of their successors or their earlier removal or retirement.
 
Officers are elected annually by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board.

Yao-Tin (Curtis) Su.   Mr. Su serves as the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors.  Simultaneously therewith and since 2007 Mr. Su has served as the Chairman of the Company’s subsidiary Xodtec Technology Co., Ltd. and from 1997 as the Chief Executive Officer of another of the Company’s other subsidiaries Targetek Technology Co. Ltd.  Mr. Su received a Bachelors Degree from Soochow University (Taipei, Taiwan) and was the Valedictorian of the Air Defense Missile School of the United States Army in Fort Bliss, Texas.  Mr. Su also served in the Army of Taiwan from 1979 to 1981.

Chao-Wu (Mike) Chou .  Mr. Chou serves as our Chief Executive Officer and Director.  Simultaneously therewith and since December 2008, Mr. Chou serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company’s subsidiary Xodtec Technology Co., Ltd. where he is responsible for the formulation and execution of corporate strategies, integration of resources and setting and achieving sales revenues and profit goals.  Prior thereto and from July 2003, Mr. Chou served as the Senior Vice-President of Elitegroup Computer Systems Co., Ltd.  Mr. Chou received a Masters Degree from National Chiao Tung University (Taiwan) and his Bachelors Degree from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology.

AUDIT COMMITTEE. The Company intends to establish an audit committee, which will consist of independent directors. The audit committee's duties would be to recommend to the Company's board of directors the engagement of independent auditors to audit the Company's financial statements and to review its accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee would review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent public accountants, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee would at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the Company's board of  directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.
 
 
25

 
 
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. Our board of directors does not have a standing compensation committee responsible for determining executive and director compensation.  Instead, the entire board of directors fulfills this function, and each member of the Board participates in the determination.  Given the small size of the Company and its Board and the Company's limited resources, locating, obtaining and retaining additional independent directors is extremely difficult.  In the absence of independent directors, the Board does not believe that creating a separate compensation committee would result in any improvement in the compensation determination process.  Accordingly, the board of directors has concluded that the Company and its stockholders would be best served by having the entire board of directors act in place of a compensation committee.  When acting in this capacity, the Board does not have a charter.  
 
In considering and determining executive and director compensation, our board of directors reviews compensation that is paid by other similar public companies to its officers and takes that into consideration in determining the compensation to be paid to the Company’s officers.  The board of directors also determines and approves any non-cash compensation to any employee. The Company does not engage any compensation consultants to assist in determining or recommending the compensation to the Company’s officers or employees.  
 
6. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Policy . Our Company’s executive compensation plan is based on attracting and retaining qualified professionals who possess the skills and leadership necessary to enable our Company to achieve earnings and profitability growth to satisfy our stockholders. We must, therefore, create incentives for these executives to achieve both Company and individual performance objectives through the use of performance-based compensation programs. No one component is considered by itself, but all forms of the compensation package are considered in total. Wherever possible, objective measurements will be utilized to quantify performance, but many subjective factors still come into play when determining performance.
 
Compensation Components . As an early-stage development company, the main elements of our compensation package consist of base salary, stock options and bonus.

 
26

 

Base Salary . As we continue to grow and financial conditions improve, these base salaries, bonuses and incentive compensation will be reviewed for possible adjustments. Base salary adjustments will be based on both individual and Company performance and will include both objective and subjective criteria specific to each executive’s role and responsibility with the Company.
 
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS  
 
At this time, directors receive no remuneration for their services as directors of the Company, nor does the Company reimburse directors for expenses incurred in their service to the Board of Directors. The Company does not expect to pay any fees to its directors for the 2008 fiscal year.
 
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
 
On April 21, 2009, the Company entered into employment agreements with its three executive officers, Yao-Ting (Curtis) Su, Chairman; Chao-Wu (Mike) Chou, Chief Executive Officer and Hui-Yu (Rachel) Che, Chief Financial Officer. They agreements provide for a three year term with minimum annual base salaries of $55,000 if determined to be appropriate by the Board.  In addition, the agreements provide for bonuses according to the following schedule:
 
1.
Year-end bonus: Minimum of $7,500 will be paid on Jan. 10 of every year during the validity of the agreements.
 
2.
Performance bonus: Based on the actual performance, the company will pay up to $70,000 on Feb. 10 of every year during the validity of the agreements.
 
The agreements do not include any terms which show the company should reimburse to the two executive officers when the employment agreement terminated. When the company has any change-in-control arrangement, the company will revise the agreement and the un-paid salary or bonus will be calculated and paid on a pro rata basis.
 
7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
Currently, we have no independent directors on our Board of Directors, and therefore have no formal procedures in effect for reviewing and pre-approving any transactions between us, our directors, officers and other affiliates. We will use our best efforts to insure that all transactions are on terms at least as favorable to the Company as we would negotiate with unrelated third parties.
 
8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
COMMON STOCK  
 
Number of Authorized and Outstanding Shares . The Company's Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share, of which 6,016,668 post-split adjusted shares were outstanding on April 24, 2009.  On April 20, 2009 the Company’s Board of Directors have authorized an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 75,000,000 to 225,000,000 and concurrently affecting a three for one (3:1) forward-split of the Registrant’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
Voting Rights . Holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Holders of Common Stock have no cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, the holders of in excess of 50% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding will be able to elect all of the directors of the Company and to approve or disapprove any other matter submitted to a vote of all stockholders. 

 
27

 

Other . No shareholder has any preemptive right or other similar right to purchase or subscribe for any additional securities issued by the Company, and no shareholder has any right to convert the common stock into other securities. No shares of common stock are subject to redemption or any sinking fund provisions. All the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Subject to the rights of the holders of the preferred stock, if any, the Company's shareholders of common stock are entitled to dividends when, as and if declared by the Board from funds legally available therefore and, upon liquidation, to a pro-rata share in any distribution to shareholders. The Company does not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future.
 
Preferred Stock 
 
The proposed amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by the stockholders, to issue from time to time shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Each such series of Preferred Stock shall have such number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications, and special or relative rights or privileges as shall be determined by the Company's board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights.
 
Transfer Agent  
 
Shares of Common Stock are registered at the transfer agent and are transferable at such office by the registered holder (or duly authorized attorney) upon surrender of the Common Stock certificate, properly endorsed. No transfer shall be registered unless the Company is satisfied that such transfer will not result in a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws. The Company's transfer agent for its Common Stock is Island Stock Transfer, 100 Second Avenue South, Suite 705S, St. Petersburg, Florida 33701, Telephone (727) 289-0010.
 
Penny Stock
 
The Commission has adopted rules that define a “penny stock” as equity securities under $5.00 per share which are not listed for trading on Nasdaq (unless the issuer (i) has a net worth of $2,000,000 if in business for more than three years or $5,000,000 if in business for less than three years or (ii) has had average annual revenue of $6,000,000 for the prior three years). The Company's securities are characterized as penny stock, and therefore broker-dealers dealings in the securities are subject to the disclosure rules of transactions involving penny stock which require the broker-dealer, among other things, to (i) determine the suitability of purchasers of the securities and obtain the written consent of purchasers to purchase such securities and (ii) disclose the best (inside) bid and offer prices for such securities and the price at which the broker-dealer last purchased or sold the securities. The additional requirements imposed upon broker-dealers discourage them from engaging in transactions in penny stocks, which reduces the liquidity of the Company's securities. The Company's common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol SPEV.OB.
 
PART II.
 
1. MARKET INFORMATION
 
Currently the Company’s common shares are listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the ticker symbol “SPEV”.  However, as of the date of this report there have been no trading activities in the Company’s common stock.  There can be no assurance that a market will ever develop in the Company’s common stock in the future.  If a market does not develop then investors would be unable to sell any of the Company’s common stock likely resulting in a complete loss of any funds therein invested .
 
Since our inception, we have not paid any dividends on our Common Stock, and we do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any future earnings for use in our business.  At April 20, 2009, we had approximately 52 shareholders of record.

 
28

 

2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceedings, and no such proceedings are known to be contemplated.
 
No director, officer, or affiliate of the Company and no owner of record or beneficial owner of more than 5.0% of the securities of the Company, or any associate of any such director, officer or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company in reference to pending litigation.
 
3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENT WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
Not applicable.
 
4.  RECENT ISSUANCES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES BY THE REGISTRANT
 
Since inception of the Company in November 29, 2006, we have sold unregistered securities to the following shareholders.
 
On December 11, 2006 we issued 9,000,000 shares of Common  Stock to Carlo Giusto, who at the time was the Registrant’s sole officer and director in exchange of  the payment of $9,000, or $0.001 per share.
 
On April 20, 2009, the Registrant authorized the issuance of 5,333,334 shares in connection with the execution of a Share Exchange Agreement with the equity-holders of APlus International, Ltd. (the “Exchange”)and the issuance of 111,667 shares of Common Stock for services rendered to a finder in connection with the Exchange
 
On April 22, 2009 the Registrant entered into a Financial Advisory Agreement with Unise Investment Corp. to provide financial consulting services in consideration for 111,667 shares of Common Stock.
 
On April 23, 2009, the Registrant sold warrants exercisable into 200,000 shares of Common Stock at the exercise price of $0.65 per share and expiring in 6 months, warrants exercisable into 500,000 shares of Common Stock at the exercise price of $1.00 per share and expiring in 2 years and warrants exercisable into 800,000 shares of Common Stock at the exercise price of $1.50 per share and expiring in 2 years.
 
Except as noted above, the sales of the securities identified above were made pursuant to privately negotiated transactions that did not involve a public offering of securities and, accordingly, we believe that these transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and rules promulgated thereunder. In addition, we believe that the 8% Promissory Note is commercial paper and is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 3(a)3 thereof. Each of the above-referenced investors in our stock represented to us in connection with their investment that they were “accredited investors” (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act) and were acquiring the shares for investment and not distribution, that they could bear the risks of the investment and could hold the securities for an indefinite period of time. The investors received written disclosures that the securities had not been registered under the Securities Act and that any resale must be made pursuant to a registration or an available exemption from such registration. All of the foregoing securities are deemed restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act.
 
5. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
 
Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, because of his position as such, to the fullest extent authorized by Nevada Revised Statutes, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding.

 
29

 

To the extent that indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of our company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by any of our directors, officers or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of that issue.

The Company shall indemnify any Person (such term includes any natural person and any legal entity), who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he is or was a Manager,  Member, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (“Indemnified Person”), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (subject to the provisions below) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnifica­tion is not determined by a court to have constituted fraud, bad faith, gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct, or breach of this Agreement.

The Company shall not be required to indemnify an Indemnified Person for amounts paid in settlement unless the Company has approved the terms of such settlement.
 
6.4            Number and Qualifications .  The Company shall have at least one and not more than seven (7) Managers.  No change in the number of Managers shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent Manager.  Managers shall be natural persons of the age of 18 years or older.

6.6            Compensation .  Salary or other compensation of the Managers may be fixed from time to time by the affirmative vote of Members holding a majority of the Membership Interests, and no Manager shall be prevented from receiving such salary by reason of the fact that he is also a Member of the Company.

6.7            Removals and Resignations .  Except as may otherwise be provided by the Act, the Members may, at any meeting called expressly for the purpose, by a vote of the Members owning a majority of Membership Interests entitled to vote at an election of Managers, remove any or all Managers from office, with or without cause.  A Manager may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board of Managers.  The resignation shall take effect immediately upon the receipt of the notice, or at any later time specified therein.  The acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless the resignation by its terms requires acceptance.

THIS WARRANT AND THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THIS WARRANT UNDER SAID ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO SPARKING EVENTS, INC., THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
 
April 23, 2009
Warrant No.: ___

 
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

Right to Purchase ______ Shares of Common Stock of

SPARKING EVENTS, INC.

SPARKING EVENTS, INC. , a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, __________________ ( the” Holder”) is entitled to purchase from the Company upon the due exercise hereof, and subject to the terms and conditions herein, from the date of issue of this warrant (the “Warrant”) until six months following the issuance hereof (the "Expiration Date"), all or any part of ____________________ (_______) fully paid and non-assessable, post forward-split shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") of the Company, upon surrender hereof, with the exercise form annexed hereto duly completed and executed, at the office of the Company and upon simultaneous payment therefore in cash or by certified or official bank check, payable to the order of the Company, at an exercise price (“Exercise Price”) of $____ per share, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

1.              Restriction on Transfer.   No resale of the Warrant or of any of the shares of Common Stock underlying the exercise of the Warrant (the “Underlying Stock”) will be made unless such resale is registered pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or made pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). By acceptance of this agreement, the Holder agrees, for itself and all subsequent holders, that prior to making any disposition of the Warrant or of any Underlying Stock, the Holder shall give written notice to the Company describing briefly the proposed disposition; and no such disposition shall be made unless and until (i) the Company has notified the Holder that, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to it, no registration or other action under the Securities Act is required with respect to such disposition (which opinion may be conditioned upon the transferee's assuming the Holder's obligation hereunder); or (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the Commission or other such similar action has been taken.

2.               Expiration of Warrant.   Unless this Warrant and the Exercise Price are tendered as herein provided before the close of business on the Expiration Date, this Warrant will become wholly void and all rights and obligations set forth herein shall expire and terminate.

3.              Partial Exercise.   If this Warrant is exercised for less than all the shares that may be purchased upon the exercise hereof, the Warrant shall be surrendered by the Holder and replaced with a new warrant of identical terms in the name of the Holder providing for the right to purchase the number of shares of Underlying Stock as to which this Warrant has not yet been exercised.

 
 

 

4.              Adjustments.   The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Underlying Stock of the Company issuable pursuant to such exercise is subject to adjustment as follows:

(a)           In case the Company shall at any time declare a stock dividend or stock split on the outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of its Common Stock, then the Exercise Price and number of shares of Underlying Stock shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Warrant exercised after such time shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares which if such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such time, he or she would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend.

(b)           In case the Company shall at any time subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, the Exercise Price, initial or adjusted, in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or combination shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination.

(c)           In case of any capital reorganization, sale of substantially all the assets of the Company, or any reclassification of the shares of Common Stock of the Company, or in case of any consolidation with or merger of the Company into or with another corporation, then as a part of such reorganization sale reclassification, consolidation or merger, as the case may be, provision shall be made so that the registered owner of the Warrant evidenced hereby shall have the right thereafter to receive upon the exercise thereof the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property which he would have been entitled to receive if immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, he had held the number of shares of Underlying Stock which were then issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant evidenced hereby, to the end that the provisions set forth (including provisions with respect to adjustments of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares of stock or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of such Warrants.

(d)           If the Company at any time makes any spin-off, split-off, or distribution of assets upon or with respect to its Common Stock, as a liquidating or partial liquidating dividend, spin-off, or by way of return of capital, or other than as dividend payable out of earnings or any surplus legally available for dividends, the Holder then outstanding shall, upon the exercise of the Warrant, receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock then issuable on exercise of the Warrant, the amount of such assets (or, at the option of the Company, a sum equal to the value thereof at the time of the distributions) which would have been payable to such holder had he or she exercised the Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such distribution.

(e)           When any adjustment is required to be made to the Exercise Price, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable shall be determined as provided for in paragraph (f) hereof. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the exercise of the Warrant.  The Company shall round all fractional shares to the next whole share.

(f)           Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted as provided above, the number of shares of Underlying Stock immediately prior to such adjustment shall be increased, effective simultaneously with such adjustment, by a number of shares of Common Stock computed by multiplying such number of shares of Common Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the Exercise Price in effect upon such adjustment, and the number of shares of Underlying Stock arrived at by making said computation shall be added to the number of shares of Underlying Stock immediately prior to such adjustment. The total number of shares arrived at by making the computation provided for in the immediately preceding sentence shall thereupon be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or the Warrant and the Company shall forthwith determine the new Exercise Price.

 
2

 

5.             Notice of Adjustment . Upon any adjustment of the number of Units and upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, then and in each such case the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the Exercise Price and the number of Units or other securities subject to the unexercised Warrants resulting from such adjustment, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the request of the Holder there shall be transmitted promptly to the Holder a statement of the firm of independent chartered accountants retained to audit the financial statements of the Company to the effect that such firm concurs in the Company's calculation of the change.

6.             Other Notices . In case at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Date:

(a)           the Company shall declare any dividend upon its shares payable in shares of Common Stock;

(b)           there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, or consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation; or

(c)           there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company,

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to the Holder (I) at least 10 days' prior written notice of the date on which a record date shall be taken for such dividend, distribution or subscription rights or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and (II) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, at least 10 days' prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (I) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, the date on which the holders of shares shall be entitled thereto, and such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause (II) shall also specify the date on which the holders of shares shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be.

7.              Delivery of Underlying Stock.   As soon as practicable after the exercise hereof, the Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Underlying Stock, all of which shall be fully paid and nonassessable, to the person or persons entitled to receive the same provided no sale, offer to sell or transfer of the Underlying Stock or of this Warrant, or of any shares or other securities issued in exchange for or in respect of such shares, shall be made unless a registration statement under the Act, with respect to such shares, is in effect or an exemption from the registration requirements of such Act is applicable to such shares.

8.              Condition of Exercise of Warrant .

(a)           Unless exercised pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act which includes the Underlying Stock, it shall be a condition to any exercise of this Warrant that the Company shall have received, at the time of such exercise, a representation in writing from the recipient in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, that the Underlying Stock being issued upon exercise, are being acquired for investment and not with a view to any sale or distribution thereof.

The securities have been acquired for investment and may not be sold, transferred or assigned in the absence of an effective registration statement for the securities under said Act, or an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, that registration is not required under said Act or unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 under said Act."

Subject to this Section 6, the Company may instruct its transfer agent not to register the transfer of all or a part of this Warrant, or any of the Underlying Stock, unless one of the conditions specified in the above legend is satisfied.

9.              Representations and Warranties of the Company .  The Company represents and warrants to the Holder as follows:

DATE:

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, I, the Purchaser, represent to the Seller and to the Company the following:

(a)         I am aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition, and have acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities.  I am purchasing these Securities for my own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

(b)         I understand that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of my investment intent as expressed herein.  In this connection, I understand that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if my representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future.

(c)         I further understand that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available.  Moreover, I understand that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities.  In addition, I understand that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Company.

(d)         I am familiar with the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permits limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

(e)         I further understand that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.

-2-

 
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no purported Termination With Cause pursuant to (i), (ii) or (iii)   of this Section 7(a) shall be effective unless all of the following provisions shall have been complied with:  (x) Employee shall be given written notice by the Board of Directors of the Company of the intention to effect a Termination With Cause, such notice to state in detail the particular circumstances that constitute the grounds on which the proposed Termination With Cause is based; and (y) Employee shall have ten (10) business days after receiving such notice in which to cure such grounds, to the extent such cure is possible, as determined in the sole reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
(b)           Death; Disability :  In the event that Employee dies or becomes Disabled (as defined herein) during the Term, Employee's employment shall terminate when such death or Disability occurs and the Company shall pay Employee (or his legal representative, as the case may be) as follows:
 
 
(i)
any Base Compensation, Bonus and vacation time accrued but unpaid as of the date of death or termination for Disability; and
 
 
(ii)
any reimbursement for expenses incurred in accordance with Sections 3 and 5;.
 
For the purposes of this Agreement, Employee shall be deemed to be "Disabled" or have a "Disability" if, because of Employee's personal injury, disability or illness, he has been substantially unable to perform his duties hereunder for sixty (60) days in any one hundred eighty (180) day period.  Employee shall be considered to have been substantially unable to perform his duties hereunder only if he is either (i) unable to reasonably and effectively carry out his duties with reasonable accommodations by the Company or (ii) unable to reasonably and effectively carry out his duties because any reasonable accommodation which may be required would cause the Company undue hardship.

Employee acknowledges that the payments referred to in both Sections 3 and 5 and this Section 7(b) together with any rights or benefits under any written plan or agreement which have vested on or prior to the termination date of Employee's employment under this Section 7(b), constitute the only payments which Employee (or his legal representative, as the case may be) shall be entitled to receive from the Company hereunder in the event of a termination of his employment for death or Disability, and the Company shall have no further liability or obligation to him (or his legal representatives, as the case may be) hereunder or otherwise in respect of his employment.

9.            Return of Company Property :  Employee agrees that following the termination of his employment for any reason, he shall return all property of the Company , its subsidiaries, affiliates and any divisions thereof he may have managed which is then in or thereafter comes into his possession, including, but not limited to, documents, contracts, agreements, plans, photographs, books, notes, electronically stored data and all copies of the foregoing as well as any automobile or other materials or equipment supplied by the Company to Employee.
 
10.          Each Party, the Drafter :  This Agreement and the provisions contained in it shall not be construed or interpreted for or against any party to this Agreement because that party drafted or caused that party's legal representative to draft any of its provisions.
 
11.          Waiver :  The failure of either party to this Agreement to enforce any of its terms, provisions or covenants shall not be construed as a waiver of the same or of the right of such party to enforce the same.  Waiver by either party hereto of any breach or default by the other party of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any other breach or default.

 
-4-

 
 
12.           Severability :  In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remainder of the Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  Moreover, if any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be held to be excessively broad as to duration, activity or subject, such provisions shall be construed by limiting and reducing them so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law.

This Agreement commences on the Effective Date for an initial period of one year and shall automatically renew on each anniversary of the Effective Date for successive one-year periods, unless either party gives the other party written notice of its intent not to renew, at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term.

In consideration of the mutual promises and undertakings set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:


2. STATEMENT OF WORK

2.1.   Statement of Work Definition

Welocalize may engage the Supplier to perform Services as described in a Statement of Work ("SOW"). Failing this, no order shall be deemed to have been placed. A Statement of Work can be represented by a purchase order, a written message or a work assignment entry in the Welocalize work assignment system. Modifications in an SOW must always be in writing.

2.2. Order Acceptance

Welocalize shall not send work to the Supplier without its prior approval.

Any Order not refused in writing by the Supplier within 24 hours of receipt shall be deemed to have been accepted and the Supplier shall be bound to perform the Services in accordance with such Order.

If the Supplier does not accept the Order, all physical materials supplied by Welocalize shall be returned to Welocalize within 24 hours following the non-acceptance. Failing this, Welocalize reserves the right to claim damages and interest for any loss suffered.

2.3. Change of Scope

Welocalize may at any time modify or add to the scope of the Services agreed to between the parties upon written notice to the Supplier specifying the desired modifications or additions to the same degree of specificity as in the original specifications. The Supplier must confirm receipt of this information and agrees that modifications or additions which are not considered by both parties to be substantial will be performed by the Supplier at no additional cost. If there are substantial modifications, the Supplier will submit to Welocalize an estimate of the time and cost to effect such modification or addition ("Estimate") within 24 hours of notification by Welocalize.

 
 

 

The parties must agree to the Estimate in writing, prior to either party being bound to its terms. The performance of any modified or augmented Services by the Supplier shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2.4. Project Cancellation

If the project is cancelled, Welocalize will promptly notify the Supplier. The Supplier may invoice Welocalize solely for the amount of work that has been approved and completed when the written cancellation was received. A written cancellation may reach the Supplier via post, overnight delivery service, fax or electronic mail.
 
 
3. DELIVERY

3.1. Delivery Expectations

Delivery shall take place in the way indicated in the Statement of Work.

Delivery at or before the date and time indicated in the Statement of Work is critical. In the event of any delay in delivery that is due to the Supplier's fault or negligence, Welocalize reserves the right to decline the work, to place the order with a third party and/or to claim compensation and interest for the damage suffered as set out in Schedule C.

The Supplier shall keep a full electronic and up-to-date backup copy of all project files for the duration of the project and thereafter until acceptance of the delivery by Welocalize.

When requested by Welocalize, the Supplier shall promptly deliver glossaries, translation memories or any other additional material produced in direct relation to the execution of the Statements of Work to Welocalize.

The Supplier is responsible for the cost of delivering work to Welocalize.

 
4. USE AND OWNERSHIP OF PROJECT-RELATED MATERIALS

The Supplier shall not make use of any information disclosed to, produced by or accessed by the Supplier in connection with this Agreement for any purpose other than to supply Services.

Any material (texts, drawings, models, films, pictures, negatives, magnetic media, terminology or other glossaries, etc.) relating to the SOW shall remain the exclusive property of Welocalize or the Customer Company and shall be returned without delay on completion of the order, together with any software (discs and manuals) provided to the Supplier to carry out the work. The Supplier shall also totally erase any such software from its computer(s), and destroy any copy or copies of the same made by way of backup(s) or otherwise.

White the materials and software are in its possession, the Supplier will ensure that they are not damaged or lost. The Supplier will bear full responsibility in case of any damage or loss of materials or software and will hold Welocalize harmless against any claim resulting from such damage or loss.

 
 

 

4.2. Work Product Materials

Any materials produced by the Supplier in connection with Services ("Work Product") shall be considered "work made for hire" on behalf of Welocalize and, as such, shall be the sole property of Welocalize. The Supplier hereby assigns whatever right, title and interest the Supplier may have or claim to such Work Product property and all rights therein, including, but not limited to, any patent, copyright, right to create derivative works, trademarks, trade secret, mask works, or other intellectual property rights, to Welocalize or its designee. The Supplier waives any "moral rights" it may have in any such Work Product and hereby authorizes Welocalize and/or any person or entity obtaining rights directly or indirectly from Welocalize (to the extent of such rights) to make any desired changes to the Work Product or any part thereof, to combine or use the Work Product with any other goods, products, materials, services or software in any manner desired, and to withhold the Supplier's identity as an author in connection with any distribution or use of the Work Product in any manner thereof, either alone or in combination with other goods, products, materials, services or software. In the event Welocalize is unable, after reasonable effort, to secure the Supplier's signature on any letters patent, copyright or other analogous protection relating to Work Product, Supplier hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Welocalize and its duly authorized officers and agents as its agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in its behalf and stead to execute and file any such application or applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Supplier.

4.3. Limited License

Welocalize may provide the Supplier with computer software and related documentation ("Licensed Programs") which are proprietary to Welocalize or to a Customer Company. If such Licensed Programs are so provided, the Supplier acknowledges that they are licensed to the Supplier on a royalty-free, revocable, non-transferable and non-exclusive basis for the sole purpose of facilitating the provision of Services by Welocalize under this Agreement, and the Licensed Programs may not be transferred, distributed, conveyed or disclosed in any manner, in whole or in part, to any third party. This limited license to the Licensed Programs shall expire upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement. Upon such termination or expiration, the Supplier shall return the Licensed Programs and any copies thereof, to Welocalize and certify to Welocalize that it has de-installed the Licensed Programs. The Supplier agrees to establish and maintain appropriate security measures and safeguards against the destruction, loss, or alteration, and the unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, of any Licensed Programs in its possession during the term of this Agreement. ALL LICENSED PROGRAMS PROVIDED TO THE PARTNER ARE PROVIDED ON AN 'AS IS' BASIS. WELOCALIZE MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH LICENSED PROGRAMS, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. All rights in the Licensed Programs not expressly granted by this paragraph to the Supplier are hereby reserved by Welocalize or the applicable Customer Company.

SCHEDULE B - LANGUAGE QUALITY CRITERIA
 
 

Welocalize reserves the right to request a written copy of the Supplier's Quality Assurance Process.

The standard quality evaluation applied on translation work, called Language Quality Assessment (LQA), consists of an objective error count based on a sample of the total work. The LQA process currently applies a number of error criteria, severity levels and metrics. As quality requirements evolve and new quality methodologies are developed, Welocalize reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to determine which level of quality assessment and which error threshold will be applied to the work delivered by the Supplier.

The definitions of the error categories are:

Accuracy - Errors of the Accuracy category indicate translation errors. They are normally detected by comparing the source and target texts.

• Language - Errors of the Language category indicate language errors. Usually, these are deviations from generally accepted language conventions such as punctuation, spelling, or grammar.

Terminology - Errors of the Terminology category indicate compliance errors. Usually, these are deviations from an approved translation glossary or industry-specific term usage.

• Style - Errors of the Style category indicate compliance errors or poor readability of the target language due to register and tone. Usually, these are deviations from an approved style guide or from the general style required by the text.

• Country - Errors of the Country category indicate localization errors, i.e. the translation is not appropriate for the target culture or market or does not conform to the localization standards in use in the target country.

• Functional - Errors of the Functional category usually indicate technical, non-language-related errors as a direct result of the translation process such as deletion or misplacement of tags, links or codes.

The definitions of error severity levels are:

 
 

 

  Major errors - Major errors are blatant and severe errors that jeopardize, invert or distort the meaning of a translation. Major errors are severe failures in accuracy, compliance, or language. Examples include:

 
Any statement that can be potentially offensive
 
Errors that endanger the integrity of data or the health/safety of users
 
Errors that modify or misrepresent the functionality of the device or product
 
Errors that clearly show that the client's and/or Welocalize's instructions haven't been followed
 
Errors that appear in a High Visibility Portion and/or is numerously repeated
 
Grammar or syntax errors that are gross violations of generally accepted language conventions

Minor errors - Minor errors are all errors that do not fall in the major error category as defined above or are merely preferential changes. Examples include:

 
Accuracy errors that result in a slight change in meaning
 
Small errors that would not confuse or mislead a user but could be noticed
 
Formatting errors not resulting in a loss of meaning, e.g. wrong use of bold or italics
 
Wrong use of punctuation or capitalization not resulting in a loss of meaning
 
Generic error to indicate generally inadequate style (e.g. literal translation, "stilted" style, etc.)
 
Grammar or syntax errors that are minor violations of generally accepted language conventions
 
Typos and misspellings that do not result in a loss of meaning

As the LQA process is based on a sample of the translation, it is possible that the LQA result is not representative of the overall quality of the translation. Therefore even if an LQA result or any other QA check meets expectations, it cannot automatically be considered as an acceptance of the work by Welocalize.

 
 

 
 
 
SCHEDULE C - SCALE OF PENALTIES
 

 
Late Delivery Penalties
12-24 Hour Delivery Delay
5% reduction in total PO value
25-48 Hour Delivery Delay
10% reduction in total PO value

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2008, the FASB released SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the accounting principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days after the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  The Company does not expect the implementation of this guidance to have a material impact on the financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 gives financial statement users better information about the reporting entity's hedges by providing for qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material effect on the financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In February 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The standard provides entities the ability, on an elective basis, to report most financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value, with corresponding gains and losses recognized in current earnings. The Company did not elect the fair value option under SFAS No. 159 as of January 1, 2008 for any of our financial assets and liabilities that were not already fair valued. The Company will consider applying the fair value option to future transactions as provided by the standard. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 159 to have a material impact on the financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This standard revises and enhances the guidance set forth in SFAS No. 141(R) by establishing a definition for the “acquirer,” providing additional guidance on the recognition of acquired contingencies and non-controlling interests, and broadening the scope of the standard to include all transactions involving a transfer in control, irrespective of the consideration involved in the transfer. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs in a fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Although the standard will not have any impact on the current financial statements, application of the new guidance could be significant to the Company in the context of future merger and acquisition activity.

In December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51”. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.


3. 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2008, the FASB released SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the accounting principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days after the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  The Company does not expect the implementation of this guidance to have a material impact on the financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 gives financial statement users better information about the reporting entity's hedges by providing for qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material effect on the financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In February 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The standard provides entities the ability, on an elective basis, to report most financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value, with corresponding gains and losses recognized in current earnings. The Company did not elect the fair value option under SFAS No. 159 as of January 1, 2008 for any of our financial assets and liabilities that were not already fair valued. The Company will consider applying the fair value option to future transactions as provided by the standard. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 159 to have a material impact on the financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This standard revises and enhances the guidance set forth in SFAS No. 141(R) by establishing a definition for the “acquirer,” providing additional guidance on the recognition of acquired contingencies and non-controlling interests, and broadening the scope of the standard to include all transactions involving a transfer in control, irrespective of the consideration involved in the transfer. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs in a fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Although the standard will not have any impact on the current financial statements, application of the new guidance could be significant to the Company in the context of future merger and acquisition activity.

In December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51”. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on the financial statements.

To the Stockholders of

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Targetek Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Targetek Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
3.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2008, the FASB released SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the accounting principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days after the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  The Company does not expect the implementation of this guidance to have a material impact on the financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 gives financial statement users better information about the reporting entity's hedges by providing for qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related contingent features in their hedged positions. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material effect on the financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In February 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The standard provides entities the ability, on an elective basis, to report most financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value, with corresponding gains and losses recognized in current earnings. The Company did not elect the fair value option under SFAS No. 159 as of January 1, 2008 for any of our financial assets and liabilities that were not already fair valued. The Company will consider applying the fair value option to future transactions as provided by the standard. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 159 to have a material impact on the financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This standard revises and enhances the guidance set forth in SFAS No. 141(R) by establishing a definition for the “acquirer,” providing additional guidance on the recognition of acquired contingencies and non-controlling interests, and broadening the scope of the standard to include all transactions involving a transfer in control, irrespective of the consideration involved in the transfer. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs in a fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Although the standard will not have any impact on the current financial statements, application of the new guidance could be significant to the Company in the context of future merger and acquisition activity.

In December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51”. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Introduction to Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Combined Financial Statements
November 30, 2008

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the acquisition of Aplus International Ltd. (Aplus), a disregarded entity consisting of Xodtec Technology, Inc. (Xodtec), Targetek Co., Ltd. (Targetek), and Up-Tech Technology Co., Ltd., (Up-Tech), by Sparking Events, Inc. (Sparking) (the “Exchange Transaction”).  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared using the historical financial statements of Sparking, Xodtec, Targetek, and Up-Tech.  Please note that the unaudited proforma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of Sparking, Xodtec, Targetek, and Up-Tech, respectively.  Sparking’s financial information can be found in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 and quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended November 30, 2008.  The financial information of Xodtec, Targetek, and Up-Tech is filed together with this Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements on Form 8-K.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of November 30, 2008 combines the unaudited condensed balance sheet of Sparking as of November 30, 2008 and the audited balance sheets of Xodtec, Targetek, and Up-Tech, respectively, as of December 31, 2008 and assumes that the Exchange Transaction was consummated on November 30, 2008.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended February 29, 2008 and for the nine months ended November 30, 2008 assume that the Exchange Transaction was consummated on March 1, 2007.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended February 29, 2008 combines the audited statement of operations of Sparking for the year ended February 29, 2008 with the audited statements of operations of Xodtec, Targetek, and Up-Tech for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The unaudited proforma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2008 combines the unaudited statement of operations of Sparking for the nine months ended November 30, 2008 with the audited statements of operations of Xodtec, Targetek, and Up-Tech for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The information presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements does not purport to represent what our financial position or results of operations would have been had the Exchange Transaction occurred as of the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of our future financial position or results of operations for any period.  You should not rely on this information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience after the Exchange Transaction.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.

  Basis of Presentation

During April 2009, Sparking acquired Aplus by issuing 5,333,334 common shares at par value of $0.001, to the then shareholders of Aplus, in exchange for all of their issued and outstanding common stock in Aplus.  Aplus became the wholly-owned subsidiary of Sparking.  Immediately following the closing, 9,000,000 shares of outstanding common stock of Sparking are to be canceled.

Prior to the acquisition of Xodtec, Targetek, and Up-Tech in 2009, Aplus was a non-operating entity.  For purposes of the Sparking acquisition, Aplus is considered a disregarded entity.

The Exchange Transaction is deemed to be a reverse acquisition.  In accordance with the Accounting and Financial Reporting Interpretations and Guidance prepared by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Sparking (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and Aplus (the legal acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer.  The financial statements of the combined entity will in substance be those of Aplus, with the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of Sparking being included effective from the date of the consummation of the Exchange Transaction.  Sparking is deemed to be a continuation of the business of Aplus.  The outstanding stock of Sparking prior to the Exchange Transaction will be accounted for at its net book value and no goodwill will be recognized.
