Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For The Periods Ended March

2008 (Unaudited)
1.
Organization
and Principal of Activities
China
INSOnline Corp. (“CHIO”), formerly known as Dexterity Surgical, Inc. (“Dexterity
Surgical”) was incorporated on December 23, 1988 as a Delaware corporation and
commenced operations on January 1, 1989. In August 1992, CHIO completed an
initial public offering of common stock. In March 2008, CHIO has change its
name
from Dexterity Surgical, Inc. to China INSOnline Corp. and which is currently
traded on The Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol
“CHIO”.
On
December 18, 2007, CHIO, Rise and Grow Limited (“Rise & Grow”) and Newise
Century Inc., the sole stockholder of Rise & Grow (the “Shareholder”)
consummated a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) pursuant
to which the Shareholder transferred to CHIO, and CHIO acquired from the
Shareholder, all of the capital stock of Rise & Grow (the “Shares”), which
Shares constitute 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Rise
&
Grow, in exchange for 26,400,000 shares of CHIO’s common stock (“Common Stock”),
which shares now constitute 66% of the fully diluted outstanding shares of
Common Stock. This share exchange transaction resulted in the Shareholder
obtaining a majority voting interest in CHIO. Generally accepted accounting
principles require that a company whose shareholders retain the majority
interest in a combined business be treated as the acquirer for accounting
purposes, resulting in a reverse acquisition. Accordingly, the share exchange
transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of CHIO.
On
April
19, 2004, Dexterity Surgical filed a voluntary petition for relief for
reorganization (the “Reorganization”) under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of Texas Houston Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Dexterity Surgical underwent
numerous operating changes and operated its business as a “debtor-in-possession”
under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court. On March 2, 2005, the
Bankruptcy Court entered an Order confirming its First Amended Plan of
Liquidation. In connection with that Plan, Dexterity Surgical’s assets were
scheduled to be auctioned, which auction culminated in the sale of substantially
all of Dexterity Surgical’s assets as approved by the Bankruptcy Court on March
17, 2006.
The
First
Amended Plan of Liquidation was subsequently amended on March 2, 2006, by
an
order titled “Order Approving Modification of the First Amended Plan” (the
“Order”). The amendments provided for in the Order included the Bankruptcy
Court’s authorization of a $50,000 Debtor-In-Possession Loan (the “DIP Loan”)
for payment of administrative expenses of the bankruptcy, which converted
into
6,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Section 1145 Shares”) and 3,000,000
warrants under Section 1145 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code at the option of
the
holder(s) of the DIP Loan, which were cancelled immediately prior to the
Exchange. For an additional $125,000, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the
sale
of 25,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to an investor for the payment
of both administrative claims and creditor claims. Also see Note 7.
The
Bankruptcy Court also provided that all of the old shares of Dexterity
Surgical’s preferred stock, stock options and warrants shall be (and have been)
cancelled; issue (and did issue) 29,800 new shares of Common Stock under
Section
1145 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; issue up to 25,000 shares of Common Stock
under Section 1145 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to those persons deemed
appropriate by the Board of Directors (it was not necessary to issue these
shares and therefore they have been cancelled); and appoint new Board members,
amend the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares
of
common stock to 100,000,000, amend the Bylaws, change the fiscal year, execute
a
share exchange agreement and issue shares in which effective control or majority
ownership is given, all without stockholder approval. Also see Note
7.
Rise
& Grow was formed on February 10, 2006 as a Hong Kong limited company. Zhi
Bao Da Tong (Beijing) Technology Co. Ltd (“ZBDT”), a company registered in the
People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”), was established and
incorporated by Rise & Grow and commenced business on June 9, 2007. Rise
& Grow’s sole business is to act as a holding company for ZBDT.

1.
Organization
and Principal of Activities (Continued)
ZBDT
was
formed by Rise & Grow with the purpose of developing computer and network
software and related products and to promote the development of high-tech
industries in the field of Chinese information technology. It does this by
controlling Beijing ZYTX Technology Co., Ltd (“ZYTX”), through an Exclusive
Technical Consulting and Service Agreement and related transaction documents
dated as of September 28, 2007 (collectively, the “Service Agreements”). In
compliance with the PRC’s foreign investment restrictions on Internet
information services and other laws and regulations, ZBDT conducts all of
our
Internet information and media services and advertising in China through
ZYTX, a
domestic Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), as its primary beneficiary. In
accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R “Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities” (“FIN 46R”), an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
a VIE is to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a
majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority
of
the VIE’s residual returns. Upon executing the Service Agreements, ZYTX is now
considered a VIE and ZBDT is its primary beneficiary.
ZYTX,
a
company registered in the PRC on October 8, 2006, is an Internet e-business
development, online advertisement publishing and related online servicing
company, which focuses on the PRC insurance industry. With localized web
sites
targeting Greater China, ZYTX provides a platform through its web site,
www.soobao.cn, to
consumers,
agents and insurance companies for online transaction, advertising, online
inquiry, news circulation, statistic analysis and software development. ZYTX
also provides online insurance agent services including car, property and
life
insurance to customers in the PRC.
2.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
business of CHIO (together with its subsidiaries,
the
“Company”)
is
operated through ZYTX and the consolidated financial statements include the
assets, liabilities and operating results of ZYTX as the Company’s VIE.
Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Arrangements
with these business enterprises have been evaluated, and those in which
ZYTX
is
determined
to have controlling financial interest are consolidated. In January 2003,
the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
(“FIN
46”), and amended it by issuing FIN 46R in December 2003. FIN 46R addresses
the consolidation of business enterprises to which the usual condition of
consolidation (ownership of a majority voting interest) does not apply. This
interpretation focuses on controlling financial interests that may be achieved
through arrangements that do not involve voting interests. It concludes that,
in
the absence of clear control through voting interests, a company’s exposure
(variable interest) to the economic risks and potential rewards from the
variable interest entity’s assets and activities are the best evidence of
control. If an enterprise holds a majority of the variable interests of an
entity, it would be considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary
is required to consolidate the assets, liabilities and results of operations
of
the variable interest entity in its financial statements.
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have
been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim
financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form
10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include
all
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of
normal
recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for
the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the
consolidated results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are
not
necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year. The
condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of June 30, 2007 was
derived
from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s
Form 8-K. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction
with
that report.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Economic
and Political Risks
The
Company's operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced
by the
political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general
state
of the PRC economy. The Company's operations in the PRC are subject to special
considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies
in
North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among
others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency
exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the
political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental
policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti−inflationary measures,
currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation,
among other things.
(b)
Use
of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(g)
Revenue
Recognition
Advertising
Advertising
revenues are derived mainly from online advertising arrangements, which allow
advertisers to place advertisements on particular areas of the Company’s web
sites, in particular formats and over particular periods of time. Advertising
revenues from online advertising arrangements are recognized ratably over
the
displayed period of the contract when the collectibility is reasonably assured.
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-21, “Accounting
for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” advertising arrangements
involving multiple deliverables are broken down into single-element arrangements
based on their relative fair value for revenue recognition purposes, when
possible. The Company recognizes revenue on the elements delivered and defers
the recognition of revenue for the fair value of the undelivered elements
until
the remaining obligations have been satisfied. In accordance with EITF No.
01-9,
“Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller
of
the Vendor’s Product,” cash consideration given to customers or resellers, for
which the Company does not receive a separately identifiable benefit or cannot
reasonably estimate fair value, are accounted for as a reduction of revenue
rather than as an expense.
Software
Development
Software
development revenue is recognized in accordance with the American Institute
of
Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2
“Software Revenue Recognition”, as amended by SOP 98-9 “Modification of SOP
97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain
Transactions”.
When
the
outcome of a contract for software development can be estimated reliably,
contract revenue and costs are charged to the income statement by reference
to
the stage of completion of the contract activity at the balance sheet date,
as
measured by the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to estimated
total
costs for each contract.
When
the
outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract costs are
recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Contract
revenue is recognized to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is
probable will be recoverable.
Where
it
is probable that the total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue,
the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately.
Insurance
Commissions
Insurance
revenues represent commissions earned from performing agency-related services.
Insurance commissions are recognized at the later of the date when the customer
is initially billed or the insurance policy effective date.
(h)
Prepayments
Prepayments
represents cash paid in advance for rental payments, application software,
advertising, promotion campaigns, and leasehold improvements.
(i)
Fixed
Assets
Fixed
assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the
assets, which are five years for motor vehicles, computers and equipment.
For
the leasehold improvements, deprecation is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives or lease term of the hired premises,
whichever is shorter. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended March
31,
2008 was $38,617.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
(j)
Software
Software
is carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed
using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
which is
five years for software. Software is periodically reviewed when indicators
are
present to assess recoverability from future operations using undiscounted
cash
flows in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”)
No.144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Live Assets”. To the
extent carrying value exceeds fair value, an impairment loss is recognized
in
operating result. No impairment was recorded for the period ended March
31,
2008.
Amortization
expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was $26,918.
(k)
Earnings
Per Share
Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during
the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings
per
share except that the denominator is increased to include the number
of
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential
common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were
dilutive.
There were no dilutive securities outstanding for the periods
presented.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, (“SFAS
No. 157”) which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure
assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of
fair value
and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in
generally
accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS
No. 157 also
requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent
to which
fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and
assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value
measures on
earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued
in fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007 and to interim periods within
those
fiscal years. The Company does not have to adopt this until next fiscal
year.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the adoption of SFAS
No. 157
may have on its financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option of Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items of fair
value. SFAS
No. 159’s overall objective is to improve financial reporting by providing
entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings
caused
by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having
to apply
complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 applies to all entities,
including not-for-profit organization, and most of its provisions apply
only to
entities that elect the fair value option, although FAS 159's amendment
to FAS
115 applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities.
This
Statement was effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's
first
fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Adoption of the first
interim
period of earlier fiscal years, provided the entity also elects to
early adopt
SFAS No. 159. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on adoption
of SFAS
No. 159 may have on our financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) (“SFAS No.
141R”), “Business Combinations”, which replaces SFAS No. 141. This statement
retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires
a
number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities
are
recognized in the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition
of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires
the
capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value,
and
requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS
No. 141R is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009 and will
apply prospectively to business combinations completed on or after
that
date.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
“
Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51
”
,
which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests. Minority
interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and will be
reported as a component of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and
purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in
control
will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income
attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated
net
income on the face of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the
interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair
value
with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for
us beginning July 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively, except for the
presentation and disclosure requirements, which will apply retrospectively.
The
Company is currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS
No. 160 would have on the Company’s financial statements.
In
March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 161”), which amends SFAS No.133 and expands
disclosures to include information about the fair value of derivatives,
related
credit risks and a company’s strategies and objectives for using derivatives.
SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after November
15,
2008. We are currently in the process of assessing the impact that SFAS
No. 161
will have on the disclosures in our consolidated financial
statements.

Income
Tax
(a)
Corporation
Income Tax (“CIT”)
The
Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No.48, “Accounting for
Uncertainly in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,”
(“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. The Company did not have any material
unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on its financial condition
or
results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48.
On
March
16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China approved the Corporate Income
Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “new CIT Law”), which is
effective from January 1, 2008. Under the new CIT Law, the corporate income
tax
rate applicable to the Company starting from January 1, 2008 is 25%, replacing
the currently applicable tax rate of 33%. The new CIT Law has an impact on
the
deferred tax assets and liabilities of the Company. As there is still no
detailed implementation rulings released, the Company adjusted deferred tax
balances as of June 30, 2007 based on their best estimates and will continue
to
assess the impact of such new law in the future. Effects arising from the
enforcement of new CIT law have been reflected in the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Pursuant
to the PRC Income Tax Laws, ZYTX is subject to CIT at a preferential rate
of 15%
as a high-tech enterprise authorized by the PRC Government. In addition to
the
local regulations for developing new technology industries offered by the
Government of Beijing, it is entitled to a 100% exemption from CIT for 2
years
from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008. Starting from January 1, 2009,
the
actual CIT rate of ZYTX will be 15%.
Income

respectively for the three months and nine months ended March 31,

Shareholders’
Equity
(a)
Issue
of
Shares under Section 1145 Shares Pursuant to the Reorganization
On
December 18, 2007, the Company issued 1,756,250 shares of common stock under
Section 1145 pursuant to the Reorganization. On January 2, 2008, the Company
issued the remaining 4,243,750 shares of common stock for a total of 6,000,000
shares of common stock under Section 1145 pursuant to the
Reorganization.
(b)
Cancellation
of Shares Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court Order
On
December 27, 2007, the Company cancelled 17,454,127 shares of common stock
pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court Order. On February 4, 2008, 25,000 shares
of
common stock were cancelled pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court Order
8.
Certain
Risk and Concentration
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations
of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts
receivable.
The
Company has $2,708,227 in bank deposits with a bank in China, which constitutes
about 94% of its total cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2008.
Historically, deposits in Chinese banks are secured due to the state policy
on
protecting depositors’ interests. However, China promulgated a new Bankruptcy
Law in August 2006, which came into effect on June 1, 2007. The new Bankruptcy
Law contains a separate article expressly stating that the State Council
may
promulgate implementation measures for the bankruptcy of Chinese banks. Under
the new Bankruptcy Law, a Chinese bank may go bankrupt. In addition, since
China’s concession to WTO, foreign banks have been gradually permitted to
operate in China and have been severe competitors against Chinese banks in
many
aspects, especially since the opening of Renminbi business to foreign banks
in
late 2006.
Therefore,
the risk of bankruptcy of the bank in which that the Company has deposits
has
increased. In the event of bankruptcy of the bank which holds the Company’s
deposits, the Company is unlikely to recover its deposits back in full since
it
is unlikely to be classified as a secured creditor based on PRC
laws.
Accounts
receivable consist primarily of software development clients and insurance
agents. As of March 31, 2008, approximately 27% of the accounts receivable
and
30% of revenues were derived from the software development business. Regarding
its online advertising and insurance agency operations, no individual customer
accounted for more than 10% of total net revenues for the period ended March
31,
2008.

consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other
financial information contained elsewhere in this Report.
Acquisition
of Rise & Grow
On
December 18, 2007 (the “
Closing
Date
”),
China
INSonline Corp. (formerly known as Dexterity Surgical, Inc. and hereinafter,
“
CHIO
”
and
together with its subsidiaries, the “
Company
”)
entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “
Exchange
Agreement
”)
with
Rise and Grow Limited, an inactive Hong Kong limited holding company
(“
Rise
& Grow
”)
and
Newise Century Inc., a British Virgin Islands company and the sole stockholder
of Rise & Grow (the “
Stockholder
”).
As a
result of the share exchange, CHIO acquired all of the issued and outstanding
securities of Rise & Grow from the Stockholder in exchange for Twenty-Six
Million Four Hundred Thousand (26,400,000) newly-issued shares of CHIO’s common
stock, par value $0.001 per share (“
Common
Stock
”).
As a
result of the exchange, Rise & Grow became our wholly-owned and chief
operating subsidiary. We currently have no other business operations other
than
those of Rise & Grow.
The
following is disclosure regarding CHIO, Rise & Grow and the wholly-owned
operating subsidiary of Rise & Grow, Zhi Bao Da Tong (Beijing) Technology
Co. Ltd. (“
ZBDT
”),
a
company formed under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the
“
PRC
”)
and
doing business in the PRC. From and after the Closing Date, the operations
of
Rise & Grow, through its operating subsidiary, ZBDT, are the only operations
of CHIO.
Effective
March 17, 2008, the Common Stock of CHIO began trading under a new ticker
symbol, “CHIO.OB” on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. CHIO changed its
ticker symbol from “DEXT.OB” to “CHIO.OB” as a result of the Company’s name
change from “Dexterity Surgical, Inc.” to “China INSOnline Corp.”, which such
name change became effective as of February 26, 2008.
Organizational
Structure of Rise & Grow, ZBDT and Zhiyuan
Rise
& Grow was formed on February 10, 2006 as a Hong Kong limited company. ZBDT
was established and incorporated by Rise & Grow and commenced business on
June 9, 2007. Rise & Grow’s sole business is to act as a holding company for
ZBDT. ZBDT was formed by Rise & Grow with the purpose of developing computer
and network software and related products and to promote the development
of
high-tech industries in the field of Chinese information technology. It does
this by controlling, through an Exclusive Technical Consulting and Service
Agreement and related transaction documents dated as of September 28, 2007
(collectively, the “
Service
Agreements
”),
Beijing Zhi Yuan Tian Xia Technology Co., Ltd., a limited liability company
duly
established on October 8, 2006 and validly existing under the PRC (“
Zhiyuan
”
or
“
ZYTX
”).
Pursuant
to the Services Agreements, Zhiyuan shall provide on-going technical services
and other services to Zhiyuan in exchange for substantially all net income
of
Zhiyuan. In addition, Mr. Zhenyu Wang and Ms. Junjun Xu have pledged all
of
their shares in Zhiyuan to ZBDT, representing one hundred percent (100%)
of the
total issued and outstanding capital stock of Zhiyuan, as collateral for
non-payment under the Service Agreements or for fees on technical and other
services due to us thereunder. We have the power to appoint all directors
and
senior management personnel of Zhiyuan. Currently, Zhiyuan is sixty percent
(60%) owned by Mr. Zhenyu Wang, CHIO’s Chairman of the Board, and forty
percent (40%) owned by Junjun Xu, CHIO’s Chief Executive Officer and a
director.
Business
of the Company
We
are an
Internet service and media company focusing on the PRC insurance industry.
With
localized websites targeting Greater China, the Company primarily provides,
through Zhiyuan, a network portal through its industry website,
www.soobao.cn
(hereinafter also referred to as “
Soobao
”),
to
insurance companies, agents and consumers for advertising, online inquiry,
news
circulation, online transactions, statistic analysis and software development.
The Company is also a licensed online motor vehicle, property and life insurance
agent generating revenues through sales commissions from customers in the
PRC.
Zhiyuan
was originally founded with goal of raising the national insurance consciousness
and reducing the cost on national security in China by constructing and
maintaining its network portal (
www.soobao.cn
)
in
order to integrate and optimize business flow during the course of insurance

Interpretation No. 46R “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”
(“
FIN
46R
”),
an
Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, a Variable Interest

The
unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2008
and
for the nine (9) months ended March 31, 2008 have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles of interim financial information.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required
by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
for
annual financial statements. However, the information included in these interim
financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for
the fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations.

Plan
of Operation
Publicity
and Promotion of Soobao
Since
its
inception, Zhiyuan has been making business preparations and development
mainly
in the Beijing area, with a sales mode focusing on marketing. The Company
plans
to popularize
www.soobao.cn
and its
insurance sales commission businesses in first and second-level cities across
China from late mid year of 2008 to the year 2010. The Company plans to attempt
to develop
www.soobao.cn
so that
it is the largest network portal in China’s insurance industry and the first
choice of network media for insurance companies to advertise and to promote
their products and services. We are also planning to organize an insurance
agency marketing program.
With
respect to network promotion, we plan to set “
hot-spot
”
key
words for price competition of the relevant industries in popular search
engines
and release advertisements in the relevant columns of large portal websites.
With respect to traditional media, we plan to launch an integrated vertical
promotion by means of LCD televisions installed in office buildings, elevator
advertisements, public buses, radio stations and airplane media so as to
popularize the
www.soobao.cn
brand.
Technical
Development Plan
Our
technical development plan consists of (a) developing applications of new
technologies aimed at the network portal to meet the clients’ demand in online
transactions, member score accumulation and other new functions, (b) building
a
two-way bridge for insurance providers and customers based on development
and
application of insurance portal website (
www.soobao.cn
)
while
taking advantage of the Internet platform to connect traditional sales and
marketing with e-commerce, (c) technical development aimed at comprehensive
solutions in the Internet application field for insurance companies and
insurance agencies, (d) the introduction of and continued R&D of a
comprehensive life insurance real-time quotation system whereby all life
insurance products may be thoroughly compared under certain scientific and
quantifiable factors and (e) the introduction and continued R&D of an
insurance statistical and data analysis system that can analyze a present
and
prospective customer’s “
hot-points
”
of
insurance through analyzing a large number of effective clicks.
Products
and Services Plan
The
Company intends to focus on its products and services in following
areas:
·
|
With
respect to the Company’s motor vehicle insurance sales business, the
Company plans to provide motor vehicle-owners more value-added services
following the purchase of motor vehicle insurance and the Company
plans to
improve its membership club programs in the area of motor vehicle
insurance;
|
·
|
The
Company plans to gradually grow its property insurance and life insurance
business as insurance agent by utilizing third-party insurance brokers
and
by choosing cost-effective products. With online product optimization
and
the ability to compare products online in real-time, the Company
will be
able to choose more suitable insurance, enhance customer insurance
purchasing efficiency and reduce costs.
|
·
|
Capitalize
on our brand name and current influence in the Chinese insurance
industry
through www.soobao.cn in order to drive consumer
sales.
|
Nationwide
Marketing Network Construction Plan
To
carry
out insurance sales more effectively and to supplement the function and effect
of
www.soobao.cn
,
Zhiyuan
is in the process of constructing a comprehensive chain insurance supermarket
entity whereby the Company intends to establish branch sales agency locations
in
key cities throughout China in the form of purchase or franchisee, and strive
to
establish a nationwide insurance marketing network system. Zhiyuan plans
to set
up subsidiaries and branches in every province and major city across China,
provide prospective clients with a series of services such as one-to-one
advisory on different products offered by different insurance companies,
examination of life insurance, insurance site-sales, compensation and
appreciation and claims settlement. As there will likely be many specialized
clients in the transaction market, the Company plans to organize professional
lectures on insurance, create an industry salon and release new products
and
services. It is our goal through such entity to (a) educate consumers with
respect to insurance and insurance products, (b) provide objective and impartial
information of each company’s product, (c) offer personalized insurance programs
to consumers, (d) offer after-sale one-stop compensation services including
improved efficiency with claims settlements and (e) offer exposure to
www.soobao.cn
and
enjoy the network value-added services which are not offered through more
traditional insurance consumption.
Purchase
of Equipment
In
light
of the expanding insurance industry and in order to make web-browsing timely,
smooth and secure, it will be necessary for the Company to continually upgrade
the existing network portal hardware environment and to strengthen its network
security inputs, while at the same time increase advertisement promotion
related
to network portal brand building. Therefore, we expect to purchase an estimated
RMB 10 million (US$1.3 million) of equipment over the next twelve (12) months.
Employees
With
the
anticipated business growth and nationwide business development as discussed
above, the Company plans to employ up to three hundred (300) employees in
the
following two (2) to three (3) years through external introduction and internal
training.
Cash
Requirements
As
of the
date of this Report, all of our capital is equity capital and we have not
made
any debt financing with any bank or other financial institutions. We believe
our
capital is sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements. As our business
develops, the Company may consider raising additional funds if conditions
are
suitable.
Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Economic
and Political Risks
The
Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s
business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced
by the
political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general
state
of the PRC economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special
considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies
in
North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among
others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency
exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the
political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental
policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti−inflationary measures,
currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation,
among other things.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying value of financial instruments classified as current assets and
current
liabilities, such as accounts receivables, other receivables, prepayments
and
deposits, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities, approximate
fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.
Deferred
Revenue
Deferred
revenue primarily comprises contractual billings in excess of recognized
revenue
and payments received in advance of revenue recognition.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Foreign
Currency Translation
The
accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars.
The
functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (“
RMB
”).
The
financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at
period-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange
rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their
historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

Revenue
Recognition
Advertising
Advertising
revenues are derived mainly from online advertising arrangements, which allow
advertisers to place advertisements on particular areas of the Company’s web
sites, in particular formats and over particular periods of time. Advertising
revenues from online advertising arrangements are recognized ratably over
the
displayed period of the contract when the collectibility is reasonably assured.
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“
EITF
”)
No.
00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”,
advertising arrangements involving multiple deliverables are broken down
into
single-element arrangements based on their relative fair value for revenue
recognition purposes, when possible. The Company recognizes revenue on the
elements delivered and defers the recognition of revenue for the fair value
of
the undelivered elements until the remaining obligations have been satisfied.
In
accordance with EITF No. 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor
to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Product,” cash consideration given
to customers or resellers, for which the Company does not receive a separately
identifiable benefit or cannot reasonably estimate fair value, are accounted
for
as a reduction of revenue rather than as an expense.
Software
Development
Software
development revenue is recognized in accordance with the American Institute
of
Certified Public Accountants (“
AICPA
”)
Statement of Position (“
SOP
”)
97-2
“Software Revenue Recognition”, as amended by SOP 98-9 “Modification of SOP
97-2, Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain
Transactions”.
When
the
outcome of a contract for software development can be estimated reliably,
contract revenue and costs are charged to the income statement by reference
to
the stage of completion of the contract activity at the balance sheet date,
as
measured by the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to estimated
total
costs for each contract.
When
the
outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract costs are
recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Contract
revenue is recognized to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is
probable will be recoverable.
Where
it
is probable that the total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue,
the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately.
Insurance
Commissions
Insurance
revenues represent commissions earned from performing agency-related services.
Insurance commissions are recognized at the later of the date when the customer
is initially billed or the insurance policy effective date.
Prepayments
Prepayments
represents cash paid in advance for rental payments, application software,
advertising, promotion campaigns, and leasehold improvements.
Fixed
Assets
Fixed
assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the
assets, which are five years for motor vehicles, computers and equipment.
For
leasehold improvements, depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method
over the estimated useful lives or lease term of the hired premises, whichever
is shorter. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2008
was
$38,617.
Software
Software
is carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed
using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
which is
five years for software. Software is periodically reviewed when indicators
are
present to assess recoverability from future operations using undiscounted
cash
flows in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”)
No.144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Live Assets”. To the
extent carrying value exceeds fair value, an impairment loss is recognized
in
operating result. No impairment was recorded for the period ended March
31,
2008.
Amortization
expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was $26,918.
Earnings
Per Share
Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during
the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings
per
share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential
common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
There were no dilutive securities outstanding for the periods
presented.
Income
Tax
Corporation
Income Tax
The
Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No.48, “Accounting for
Uncertainly in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,”
(“
FIN
48
”),
on
January 1, 2007. The Company did not have any material unrecognized tax benefits
and there was no effect on its financial condition or results of operations
as a
result of implementing FIN 48.
On
March
16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China approved the Corporate Income
Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “
New
CIT Law
”),
which
is effective from January 1, 2008. Under the new CIT Law, the corporate income
tax rate applicable to the Company starting from January 1, 2008 is twenty-five
percent (25%), replacing the currently applicable tax rate of 33%. The New
CIT
Law has an impact on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of the Company.
As
there is still no detailed implementation rulings released, the Company adjusted
deferred tax balances as of June 30, 2007 based on their best estimates and
will
continue to assess the impact of such new law in the future. Effects arising
from the enforcement of New CIT Law have been reflected in the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements.
Pursuant
to the PRC Income Tax Laws, ZYTX is subject to CIT at a preferential rate
of 15%
as a high-tech enterprise authorized by the PRC Government. In addition to
the
local regulations for developing new technology industries offered by the
Government of Beijing, it is entitled to a 100% exemption from CIT for 2
years
from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008. Starting from January 1, 2009,
the
actual CIT rate of ZYTX will be 15%.
Results
of Operations
For
the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared To Three Months Ended March
31,
2007
Since
ZYTX was established in October 2006, it is not feasible to compare the results
of operations between the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the three
months
ended March 31, 2007.
For
the
three months ended March 31, 2008, Zhiyuan had total revenue of $3.35 million,
including $434,964 from software development, $2.78 million from online
insurance advertising and $128,220 from our insurance agency business. Gross
profit margins for the software development and online insurance advertising
were $424,735 and $2.60 million, respectively. The insurance agency business
incurred a small loss of $21,459 due to discounts granted to customers. Total
gross profit was $2.61 million.
Since
commencement of the operation in October 2006, the revenue was continuing
growth
and has a upward trend during the three months ended March 31, 2008. At the
same
time, the Company was closely monitoring the uncertainties which would affect
our costs and revenue in future operations.
Net
income was $1.61 million and net profit margin was 48% for the three months
ended March 31, 2008.
For
the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared To The Nine Months Ended March
31,
2007
Since
ZYTX was established in October 2006, it is not feasible to compare the results
of operations between the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and the nine months
ended March 31, 2007.
For
the
nine months ended March 31, 2008, the Company had total revenue of $8.65
million, including $2.58 million from software development, $5.88 million
from
online insurance advertising and $186,141 from the insurance agency business.
Gross profit margins for the software development and online insurance
advertising were $2.53 million and $5.52 million, respectively. The insurance
agency business incurred a small loss of $28,503 due to discounts granted
to
customers. Total gross profit was $7.62 million.
Since
commencement of the operation in October 2006, the revenue was continuing
growth
and has a upward trend during the nine months ended March 31, 2008. At the
same
time, the Company was closely monitoring the uncertainties which would affect
our costs and revenue in future operations.
Net
income was $5.65 million and net profit margin was 65% for the nine months
ended
March 31, 2008.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
March 31, 2008, the Company has $2,708,227 in bank deposits with a bank in
China, which constitutes about ninety-four percent (94%) of its total cash
and
cash equivalent as of such date.
As
of the
date of this Report, all of our capital is equity capital and we have not
made
any debt financing with any bank or other financial institutions. We believe
our
capital is sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements in the next twelve
months. As for our business development, the company may consider raising
additional funds for the following future business plans if conditions are
suitable:
|
1)
|
To
expand our Beijing office and upgrade our network operating
environment;
|
|
2)
|
To
expand our online insurance sales supermarket;
and
|
|
3)
|
To
expand our operations in different cities in the PRC;
and
|
|
4)
|
To
acquire equipment to continually upgrade the existing network portal
hardware environment and to
strengthen
its network security inputs.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, (“SFAS
No. 157”) which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure
assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair
value
and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No.
157 also
requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to
which
fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and
assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures
on
earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued in
fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007 and to interim periods within those
fiscal years. The Company does not have to adopt this until next fiscal
year.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the adoption of SFAS
No. 157
may have on its financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option of Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items of fair value.
SFAS
No. 159’s overall objective is to improve financial reporting by providing
entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings
caused
by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having
to apply
complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 applies to all entities,
including not-for-profit organization, and most of its provisions apply
only to
entities that elect the fair value option, although FAS 159's amendment
to FAS
115 applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities.
This
Statement was effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's
first
fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Adoption of the first
interim
period of earlier fiscal years, provided the entity also elects to early
adopt
SFAS No. 159. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on adoption
of SFAS
No. 159 may have on our financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) (“SFAS No.
141R”), “Business Combinations”, which replaces SFAS No. 141. This statement
retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires
a
number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities
are
recognized in the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition
of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the
capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and
requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS
No. 141R is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009 and will
apply prospectively to business combinations completed on or after that
date.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51, which changes
the
accounting and reporting for minority interests. Minority interests will
be
recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and will be reported as a component
of equity separate from the parent’s equity, and purchases or sales of equity
interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for
as
equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling
interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the
income
statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any
interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss
recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for us beginning
July 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively, except for the presentation and
disclosure requirements, which will apply retrospectively. The Company
is
currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 160
would have on the Company’s financial statements.
In
March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 161”), which amends SFAS No.133 and expands
disclosures to include information about the fair value of derivatives,
related
credit risks and a company’s strategies and objectives for using derivatives.
SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal periods beginning on or after November
15,
2008. We are currently in the process of assessing the impact that SFAS
No. 161
will have on the disclosures in our consolidated financial
statements.
Material
Commitments

Company occupies office space leased from third parties. For the nine months
ended March 31, 2008, the Company recognized $83,786 as rental expense for

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably
likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,
liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Risk
Factors
The
financial condition, business, operations, and prospects of the Company involve
a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties
described below, which constitute the material risks relating to the Company,
and the other information in this report. If any of the following risks are
realized, the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition
could be harmed and the value of the Company’s stock could suffer. This means
that investors and stockholders of the Company could lose all or a part of
their
investment.
RISKS
RELATING TO THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
Certain
Political and Economic Considerations Relating to China Could Adversely Affect
Our Company.
The
PRC
is transitioning from a planned economy to a market economy. While the PRC
government has pursued economic reforms since its adoption of the open-door
policy in 1978, a large portion of the PRC economy is still operating under
five-year plans and annual state plans. Through these plans and other economic
measures, such as control on foreign exchange, taxation and restrictions
on
foreign participation in the domestic market of various industries, the PRC
government exerts considerable direct and indirect influence on the economy.
Many of the economic reforms carried out by the PRC government are unprecedented
or experimental, and are expected to be refined and improved.
Other
political, economic and social factors can also lead to further readjustment
of
such reforms. This refining and readjustment process may not necessarily
have a
positive effect on our operations or future business development. Our operating
results may be adversely affected by changes in the PRC’s economic and social
conditions as well as by changes in the policies of the PRC government, such
as
changes in laws and regulations (or the official interpretation thereof),
measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the interest
rate or method of taxation, and the imposition of additional restrictions
on
currency conversion.
Our
Business May Be Affected By Unexpected Changes In Regulatory Requirements
In The
Jurisdictions In Which We Operate.
We
are
subject to many general regulations governing business entities and their
behavior in China and in other jurisdictions in which we have operations.
Such
regulations typically deal with licensing, approvals and permits. Any change
in
product licensing may make our products more or less available on the market.
Such changes may have a positive or negative impact on the sale of our products
and may directly impact the associated costs in compliance and our operational
and financial viability.
The
Chinese Government Exerts Substantial Influence Over The Manner In Which
We Must
Conduct Our Business Activities Which Could Adversely Affect Our
Company.
China
only recently has permitted provincial and local economic autonomy and private
economic activities. Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise
substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through
regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed
by
changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation,
import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property
and other matters. We believe that our operations in China are in material
compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However,
the
central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter
regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require
additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance
with
such regulations or interpretations.
Accordingly,
government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue
to
support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned
economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic
policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China
or
particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any
interest we then hold in Chinese properties or joint ventures.
The
Chinese Legal System Has Inherent Uncertainties That Could Limit The Legal
Protections Available To You.
Our
contractual arrangements with our VIE in China (Zhiyuan) are governed by
the
laws of the People’s Republic of China. China’s legal system is based upon
written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but are
not
binding on subsequent cases and have limited value as precedents. Since 1979,
the Chinese legislative bodies have promulgated laws and regulations dealing
with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization
and
governance, commerce, taxation and trade. However, because these laws and
regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published
decisions and their non-binding nature, the interpretation and enforcement
of
these laws and regulations involve uncertainties, and therefore you may not
have
legal protections for certain matters in China.
Even
If We Are In Compliance With Chinese Governmental Regulations Relating To
Foreign Investment Prohibitions, The Chinese Government May Prevent Us From
Advertising Or Distributing Content That It Believes Is Inappropriate And
We May
Be Liable For Such Content Or We May Have To Stop Profiting From Such
Content..
China
has
enacted regulations governing Internet access and the distribution of news
and
other information. In the past, the Chinese government has stopped the
distribution of information over the Internet that it believes to violate
Chinese law, including content that it believes is obscene, incites violence,
endangers national security, is contrary to the national interest or is
defamatory. In addition, we may not publish certain news items without
permission from the Chinese government. Furthermore, the Ministry of Public
Security has the authority to cause any local Internet service provider to
block
any web site maintained outside China at its sole discretion. Even if we
comply
with Chinese governmental regulations relating to foreign investment
prohibitions, if the Chinese government were to take any action to limit
or
prohibit the distribution of information through our network or to limit
or
regulate any current or future content or services available to users on
our
network, our business could be significantly harmed.
Because
the definition and interpretation of prohibited content is in many cases
vague
and subjective, it is not always possible to determine or predict what and
how
content might be prohibited under existing restrictions or restrictions that
might be imposed in the future.
We
are
also subject to potential liability for content on
www.soobao.cn
that is
deemed inappropriate and for any unlawful actions of our subscribers and
other
users of our systems. Furthermore, we are required to delete content that
clearly violates the laws of China and report content that we suspect may
violate Chinese law. It is difficult to determine the type of content that
may
result in liability for us, and if we are wrong, we may be prevented from
operating our web sites.
All
Of Our Assets Are Located In China, Any Dividends Of Proceeds From Liquidation
Is Subject To The Approval Of The Relevant Chinese Government
Agencies.
Our
assets are located inside China. Under the laws governing foreign invested
enterprises in China, dividend distribution and liquidation are allowed but
subject to special procedures under the relevant laws and rules. Any dividend
payment will be subject to the decision of the board of directors and subject
to
foreign exchange rules governing such repatriation. Any liquidation is subject
to both the relevant government agency’s approval and supervision as well the
foreign exchange control. This may generate additional risk for our investors
in
case of dividend payment and liquidation.
Future
Inflation In China May Inhibit Our Activity To Conduct Business In
China.
In
recent
years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and
high
rates of inflation. During the past ten (10) years, the rate of inflation
in
China has been as high as 20.7% and as low as 2.2%. These factors have led
to
the adoption by Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective
measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth
and
contain inflation. While inflation has been more moderate since 1995, high
inflation may in the future cause Chinese government to impose controls on
credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic
activity in China and thereby harm the our business operations.
Currency
Conversion And Exchange Rate Volatility Could Adversely Affect Our Financial
Condition.
The
PRC
government imposes control over the conversion of Renminbi into foreign
currencies. Under the current unified floating exchange rate system, the
People’s Bank of China publishes an exchange rate, which we refer to as the PBOC
exchange rate, based on the previous day’s dealings in the inter-bank foreign
exchange market. Financial institutions authorized to deal in foreign currency
may enter into foreign exchange transactions at exchange rates within an
authorized range above or below the PBOC exchange rate according to market
conditions.
Pursuant
to the Foreign Exchange Control Regulations of the PRC issued by the State
Council which came into effect on April 1, 1996, and the Regulations on the
Administration of Foreign Exchange Settlement, Sale and Payment of the PRC
which
came into effect on July 1, 1996, regarding foreign exchange control, conversion
of Renminbi into foreign exchange by Foreign Investment Enterprises
(“
FIEs
”),
for
use on current account items, including the distribution of dividends and
profits to foreign investors, is permissible. FIEs are permitted to convert
their after-tax dividends and profits to foreign exchange and remit such
foreign
exchange to their foreign exchange bank accounts in the PRC. Conversion of
Renminbi into foreign currencies for capital account items, including direct
investment, loans, and security investment, is still under certain restrictions.
On January 14, 1997, the State Council amended the Foreign Exchange Control
Regulations and added, among other things, an important provision, which
provides that the PRC government shall not impose restrictions on recurring
international payments and transfers under current account items.
Enterprises
in the PRC (including FIEs) which require foreign exchange for transactions
relating to current account items, may, without approval of the State
Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, effect payment from their foreign
exchange account or convert and pay at the designated foreign exchange banks
by
providing valid receipts and proofs.
Convertibility
of foreign exchange in respect of capital account items, such as direct
investment and capital contribution, is still subject to certain restrictions,
and prior approval from the SAFE or its relevant branches must be
sought.
Since
1994, the exchange rate for Renminbi against the United States dollars has
remained relatively stable, most of the time in the region of approximately
RMB8.28 to US$1.00. However, in 2005, the Chinese government announced that
would begin pegging the exchange rate of the Chinese Renminbi against a number
of currencies, rather than just the U.S. Dollar. As our operations are primarily
in China, any significant revaluation of the Chinese Renminbi may materially
and
adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and financial condition. For example,
to the extent that we need to convert United States dollars into Chinese
Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of this currency against the United
States dollar could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. Conversely, if we decide to convert
Chinese
Renminbi into United States dollars for other business purposes and the United
States dollar appreciates against this currency, the United States dollar
equivalent of the Chinese Renminbi we convert would be reduced.
The
Value Of Our Securities Will Be Affected By The Foreign Exchange Rate Between
U.S. Dollars And Renminbi.
The
value
of DEXT’s Common Stock will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between
U.S. dollars and Renminbi, and between those currencies and other currencies
in
which our sales may be denominated. For example, to the extent that we need
to
convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operational needs and should the
Renminbi appreciate against the U.S. dollar at that time, our financial
position, the business of the Company, and the price of our Common Stock
may be
harmed. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars
for
the purpose of declaring dividends on our Common Stock or for other business
purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Renminbi, the U.S. dollar
equivalent of our earnings from our China operations would be
reduced.
You
May Experience Difficulties In Effecting Service Of Legal Process, Enforcing
Foreign Judgments Or Bringing Original Actions In China Based On United States
Or Other Foreign Laws Against Us.
We
conduct our operations in China and a significant portion of our assets is
located in China. In addition, our directors and executive officers reside
within China, and substantially all of the assets of these persons are located
within China. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process
within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon those directors
or
executive officers, including with respect to matters arising under U.S.
federal
securities laws or applicable state securities laws. Moreover, our Chinese
counsel has advised us that China does not have treaties with the U.S. and
many
other countries that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement
of
judgment of courts. As a result, recognition and enforcement in China of
judgments of a court of the U.S. or any other jurisdiction in relation to
any
matter may be difficult or impossible.
Underdeveloped
Telecommunications Infrastructure Has Limited, And May Continue To Limit,
The
Growth Of The Internet Market In China Which, In Turn, Could Limit Our Ability
To Grow Our Business.
The
telecommunications infrastructure in China is not well developed. Although
private sector ISPs do exist in China, almost all access to the Internet
is
accomplished through ChinaNet, China’s primary commercial network, which is
owned and operated by China Telecom and China Netcom under the administrative
control and regulatory supervision of MII. The underdeveloped Internet
infrastructure in China has limited the growth of Internet usage in China.
If
the necessary Internet infrastructure is not developed, or is not developed
on a
timely basis, future growth of the Internet in China could be limited and
our
business could be harmed.
Our
Significant Amount Of Deposits In Certain Banks In China May Be At Risk If
These
Banks Go Bankrupt During Our Deposit Period
.
As
of
March 31, 2008, we have approximately $2.7
million
in banks
in China, which constitute about 94% of our total cash. The terms of these
deposits are, in general, up to twelve (12) months. Historically, deposits
in
Chinese banks are secure due to the state policy on protecting depositors’
interests. However, China promulgated a new Bankruptcy Law in August 2006,
which has come into effect on June 1, 2007, which contains a separate
article expressly stating that the State Council may promulgate implementation
measures for the bankruptcy of Chinese banks based on the Bankruptcy Law.
Under
the new Bankruptcy Law, a Chinese bank may go bankrupt. In addition, since
China’s concession to WTO, foreign banks have been gradually permitted to
operate in China and have been severe competitors against Chinese banks in
many
aspects, especially since the opening of Renminbi business to foreign banks
in
late 2006. Therefore, the risk of bankruptcy of those banks in which we have
deposits has increased. In the event of bankruptcy of one of the banks which
holds our deposits, we are unlikely to claim our deposits back in full since
we
are unlikely to be classified as a secured creditor based on PRC laws.
RISKS
RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
Because
Our Operating History Is Limited And The Revenue And Income Potential Of
Our
Business And Markets Are Unproven, We Cannot Predict Whether We Will Meet
Internal or External Expectations Of Future
Performance.
We
believe that our future success depends on our ability to significantly increase
revenue from our operations, of which we have a limited history. Accordingly,
our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and
difficulties frequently encountered by companies with a limited operating
history. These risks include our ability to:
|
l
|
offer
new and innovative services;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
attract
clients for our services;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
attract
advertisers;
|
|
l
|
attract
a larger audience to our network;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
derive
revenue from our users from fee-based Internet
services;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
respond
effectively to competitive pressures and address the effects of
strategic
relationships or corporate combinations among our
competitors;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
maintain
our current, and develop new, strategic relationships;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
increase
awareness of our brand and continue to build user
loyalty;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
attract
and retain qualified management and employees;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
upgrade
our technology to support increased traffic and expanded services;
and
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
expand
the content and services on our network or secure premium
content.
|
In
Order To Comply With PRC Regulatory Requirements, We Operate Our Main Business
Through A Company With Which We Have A Contractual Relationship (Zhiyuan)
But In
Which We Do Not Have Controlling Ownership. If The PRC Government Determines
That Our Agreements With Zhiyuan Are Not In Compliance With Applicable
Regulations, Our Business In The PRC Could Be Adversely
Affected.
The
Chinese government restricts foreign investment in Internet-related and
advertising businesses, including Internet access, distribution of content
over
the Internet and advertising via the Internet. Accordingly, we operate our
Internet-related businesses in China through Zhiyuan, a VIE, which is owned
by
our Chairman of the Board (60%) and our Chief Executive Officer (40%). We
control Zhiyuan and operate its business through contractual arrangements
and
these individual owners, but we have no equity control over Zhiyuan.
Accordingly, we cannot be sure that the PRC government would view our operating
arrangements to be in compliance with PRC licensing, registration or other
regulatory requirements, with existing policies or with requirements or policies
that may be adopted in the future. If we are determined not to be in compliance,
the PRC government could revoke our business and operating licenses, require
us
to discontinue or restrict our operations, restrict our right to collect
revenues, block our web site, require us to restructure our business, corporate
structure or operations, impose additional conditions or requirements with
which
we may not be able to comply, impose restrictions on our business operations
or
on our customers, or take other regulatory or enforcement actions against
us
that could be harmful to our business. We may also encounter difficulties
in
obtaining performance under or enforcement of related contracts.
We
Rely on Contractual Arrangements With Zhiyuan For Our Operations, Which May
Not
Be As Effective In Providing Control Over This Entity As Direct
Ownership.
Because
PRC regulations restrict our ability to provide Internet content, MVAS and
advertising services directly in China, we are dependent on our VIEs in which
we
have little or no equity ownership interest and must rely on contractual
arrangements to control and operate these businesses. These contractual
arrangements may not be as effective in providing control over these entities
as
direct ownership. For example, the VIEs could fail to take actions required
for
our business or fail to maintain our China web sites despite their contractual
obligation to do so. These companies are able to transact business with parties
not affiliated with us. If these companies fail to perform under their
agreements with us, we may have to rely on legal remedies under Chinese law,
which we cannot be sure would be effective. In addition, we cannot be certain
that the individual equity owners of the VIEs would always act in the best
interests of Zhiyuan, especially if they leave Zhiyuan.
Substantially
all profits generated from our VIEs are paid to the subsidiaries of ours
in
China through related party transactions under contractual agreements. We
believe that the terms of these contractual agreements are in compliance
with
the laws in China. The tax authorities in China have examined some of these
contractual agreements in the past and have not raised any comment. However,
due
to the uncertainties surrounding the interpretation of the transfer pricing
rules relating to related party transactions in China, it is possible that
in
the future tax authorities in China may challenge the transfer prices that
we
have used for related party transactions among our entities in China. In
the
event the tax authorities challenge our VIE structure, we may be forced to
restructure our business operation, which could have a material adverse effect
on our business.
We
Cannot Assure You That Our Organic Growth Strategy Will Be
Successful.
One
of
our growth strategies is to grow organically through increasing our services
by
increasing our market share and entering new markets in the PRC. However,
many
obstacles to increasing our market share and entering such new markets exist,
including, but not limited to, costs associated with increasing market share
and
entering into such markets and attendant marketing efforts. We cannot,
therefore, assure you that we will be able to successfully overcome such
obstacles and establish our services in any additional markets. Our inability
to
implement this organic growth strategy successfully may have a negative impact
on our ability to grow and on our future financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.
Our
Business And Growth Could Suffer If We Are Unable To Hire And Retain Key
Personnel That Are In High Demand.
We
depend
upon the continued contributions of our senior management and other key
personnel, including Junjun Xu, Mingfei Yang and Zhenyu Wang. The loss of
the
services of any of our executive officers or other key employees could have
a
material adverse effect on our business, operations, revenues or prospects.
We
do not maintain key man insurance on the lives of these individuals at present.
As we plan to expand, we will have to attract managerial staff. We may not
be
able to identify and retain qualified personnel due to our lack of understanding
of different cultures and lack of local contacts. This may impede any potential
expansion. Our future success will also depend on our ability to attract
and
retain highly skilled and qualified technical, managerial, editorial, finance,
marketing, sales and customer service personnel in China. Qualified individuals
are in high demand, and we may not be able to successfully attract, assimilate
or retain the personnel we need to succeed.
We
May Not Be Able To Manage Our Expanding Operations Effectively, Which Could
Harm
Our Business.
We
anticipate expansion in our business as discussed in the “Plan of Operation”
section herein, as we address growth in our customer base and market
opportunities. In addition, the geographic dispersion of our operations as
a
result of overall internal growth requires significant management resources
that
our locally-based competitors do not need to devote to their operations.
In
order to manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we will
be
required to improve and implement operational and financial systems, procedures
and controls, and expand, train and manage our growing employee base. Further,
our management will be required to maintain and expand our relationships
with
various other websites, Internet and other online service providers and other
third parties necessary to our business. We cannot assure you that our current
and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate
to
support our future operations. If we are not successful in establishing,
maintaining and managing our personnel, systems, procedures and controls,
our
business will be materially and adversely affected.
If
We Need Additional Capital To Fund Our Growing Operations, We May Not Be
Able To
Obtain Sufficient Capital And May Be Forced To Limit The Scope Of Our
Operations.
As
we
implement our growth strategies, we may experience increased capital needs
and
we may not have enough capital to fund our future operations without additional
capital investments. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors,
including (i) our profitability; (ii) the release of competitive products
by our
competition; (iii) the level of our investment in R&D; and (iv) the amount
of our capital expenditures. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
obtain
capital in the future to meet our needs.
If
we
cannot obtain additional funding, we may be required to:
|
l
|
reduce
our investments in research and
development;
|
|
l
|
limit
our marketing efforts; and
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
decrease
or eliminate capital expenditures.
|
Such
reductions could materially adversely affect our business and our ability
to
compete. Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be
able
to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that
are
acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise
materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing
stockholders. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing
will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.
If
We Are Unable To Keep Up With The Rapid Technological Changes Of The Internet
Industry, Our Business May Suffer.
The
Internet industry is experiencing rapid technological changes. For example,
with
the advances of search engines, Internet users may choose to access information
through search engines instead of web portals. With the advent of Web 2.0,
the
interests and preferences of Internet users may shift to user-generated content,
such as blogs. As broadband becomes more accessible, Internet users may demand
contents in audio- and video-rich format. With the development of 2.5G (such
as
GPRS) and soon 3G (such as Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service) in
China,
mobile users may shift from the current predominant text messaging services
to
newer applications, such as multimedia messaging services, mobile commerce,
music and video downloads and mobile games. Our future success will depend
on
our ability to anticipate, adapt and support new technologies and industry
standards. If we fail to anticipate and adapt to these and other technological
changes, our market share and our profitability could suffer.
If
We Fail To Successfully Develop And Introduce New Products And Services,
Our
Competitive Position And Ability To Generate Revenues Could be Harmed.
We
are
developing new products and services, as set forth in our “Plan of Operation”
section herein. The planned timing or introduction of new products and services
is subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual timing may differ materially
from
original plans. Unexpected technical, operational, distribution or other
problems could delay or prevent the introduction of one or more of our new
products or services. Moreover, we cannot be sure that any of our new products
and services will achieve widespread market acceptance or generate incremental
revenue. If our efforts to develop, market and sell new products and services
to
the market are not successful, our financial position, results of operations
and
cash flows could be materially adversely affected, the price of our Common
Stock
could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.
Concerns
About The Security Of Electronic Commerce Transactions And Confidentiality
Of
Information On The Internet May Reduce Use Of Our Network And Impede Growth.
A
significant barrier to electronic commerce and communications over the Internet
in general has been a public concern over security and privacy, especially
the
transmission of confidential information. If these concerns are not adequately
addressed, they may inhibit the growth of the Internet and other online services
generally, especially as a means of conducting commercial transactions. If
a
well-publicized Internet breach of security were to occur, general Internet
usage could decline, which could reduce traffic to our destination sites
and
impede our growth.
We
May Not Be Able To Adequately Protect Our Intellectual Property, Which Could
Cause Us To Be Less Competitive.
We
rely
on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions
on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Despite our efforts
to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy
or
otherwise obtain and use our technology. Monitoring unauthorized use of our
products is difficult and costly, and we cannot be certain that the steps
we
have taken will prevent misappropriations of our technology, particularly
in
foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as
fully
as in the United States. From time to time, we may have to resort to litigation
to enforce our intellectual property rights, which could result in substantial
costs and diversion of our resources.
We
May Be Exposed To Infringement Claims By Third Parties, Which, If Successful,
Could Cause Us To Pay Significant Damage Awards.
Third
parties may initiate litigation against us alleging infringement of their
proprietary rights. In the event of a successful claim of infringement and
our
failure or inability to develop non-infringing technology or license the
infringed or similar technology on a timely basis, our business could be
harmed.
In addition, even if we are able to license the infringed or similar technology,
license fees could be substantial and may adversely affect our results of
operations.
The
Law Of The Internet Remains Largely Unsettled, Which Subjects Our Business
To
Legal Uncertainties That Could Harm Our Business.
Due
to
the increasing popularity and use of the Internet and other online services,
it
is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect
to
the Internet or other online services covering issues such as user privacy,
pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, antitrust and characteristics
and
quality of products and services. Furthermore, the growth and development
of the
market for electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer
protection laws that may impose additional burdens on companies conducting
business online. The adoption of any additional laws or regulations may decrease
the growth of the Internet or other online services, which could, in turn,
decrease the demand for our products and services and increase our cost of
doing
business.
Moreover,
the applicability to the Internet and other online services of existing laws
in
various jurisdictions governing issues such as property ownership, sales
and
other taxes, libel and personal privacy is uncertain and may take years to
resolve. For example, new tax regulations may subject us or our customers
to
additional sales and income taxes. Any new legislation or regulation, the
application of laws and regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not
currently apply to our business, or the application of existing laws and
regulations to the Internet and other online services could significantly
disrupt our operations.
We
Are Relying On Advertising Sales As A Part Of Our Revenue, But The Online
Advertising Market Is Subject To Many Uncertainties, Which Could Cause Our
Advertising Revenues To Decline.
Our
advertising revenue growth is dependent on increased revenue from the sale
of
advertising space on our network. The growth of online advertising in China
is
subject to many uncertainties and many of our current and potential advertisers
have limited experience with the Internet as an advertising medium, have
not
traditionally devoted a significant portion of their advertising expenditures
or
other available funds to web-based advertising, and may not find the Internet
to
be effective for promoting their products and services relative to traditional
print and broadcast media. Our ability to generate and maintain significant
advertising revenue will depend on a number of factors, many of which are
beyond
our control, including but not limited to:
|
l
|
the
development and retention of a large base of users possessing demographic
characteristics attractive to advertisers;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
the
maintenance and enhancement of our brands in a cost effective
manner;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
increased
competition and potential downward pressure on online advertising
prices
and limitations on web page space;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
the
change in government policy that would curtail or restrict our
online
advertising services;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
the
acceptance of online advertising as an effective way for advertisers
to
market their businesses;
|
|
l
|
the
development of independent and reliable means of verifying levels
of
online advertising and traffic; and
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
the
effectiveness of our advertising delivery, tracking and reporting
systems.
|
If
the
Internet does not become more widely accepted as a medium for advertising,
our
ability to generate increased revenue could be negatively affected.
Our
growth in advertising revenues, to a certain extent, will also depend on
our
ability to increase the advertising space on our network. If we fail to increase
our advertising space at a sufficient rate, our growth in advertising revenues
could be hampered. Further, the increasing usage of Internet advertising
blocking software may result in a decrease of our advertising revenues as
the
advertisers may choose not to advertise on the Internet if Internet advertising
blocking software is widely used.
We
May Be Subject To Claims Based On The Content We Provide Over Our Network
and
the Products And Services Sold On Our Network, Which, If Successful, Could
Cause
Us To Pay Significant Damage Awards.
As
a
publisher and distributor of content and a provider of services over the
Internet, we face potential liability for defamation, negligence, copyright,
patent or trademark infringement and other claims based on the nature and
content of the materials that we publish or distribute; the selection of
listings that are accessible through our services and media properties, or
through content and materials that may be posted by users on our website;
losses
incurred in reliance on any erroneous information published by us; unsolicited
email, lost or misdirected messages, illegal or fraudulent use of email or
interruptions or delays in email service; and product liability, warranty
and
similar claims to be asserted against us by end users who purchase goods
and
services through
www.soobao.cn
and any
future e-commerce services we may offer.
We
may
incur significant costs in investigating and defending any potential claims,
even if they do not result in liability. Although we carry general liability
insurance, our insurance may not cover potential claims of this type and
may not
be adequate to indemnify us against all potential liabilities.
Our
Operations Could Be Disrupted By Unexpected Network Interruptions Caused
By
System Failures, Natural Disasters Or Unauthorized Tampering With Our Systems.
The
continual accessibility of our website and the performance and reliability
of
our network infrastructure are critical to our reputation and our ability
to
attract and retain users, advertisers and merchants. Any system failure or
performance inadequacy that causes interruptions in the availability of our
services or increases the response time of our services could reduce our
appeal
to advertisers and consumers. Factors that could significantly disrupt our
operations include: system failures and outages caused by fire, floods,
earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events;
software errors; computer viruses, break-ins and similar disruptions from
unauthorized tampering with our computer systems; and security breaches related
to the storage and transmission of proprietary information, such as credit
card
numbers or other personal information.
We
have
limited backup systems and redundancy. In the past, we experienced an
unauthorized tampering of the mail server of our China website which briefly
disrupted our operations. Future disruptions or any of the foregoing factors
could damage our reputation, require us to expend significant capital and
other
resources and expose us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability.
We do not carry sufficient business interruption insurance to compensate
for
losses that may occur as a result of any of these events. Accordingly, our
revenues and results of operations may be adversely affected if any of the
above
disruptions should occur.
We
May Be Classified As A Passive Foreign Investment Company, Which Could Result
In
Adverse U.S. Tax Consequences To U.S. Investors.
Based
upon the nature of our income and assets, we may be classified as a passive
foreign investment company, or PFIC, by the United States Internal Revenue
Service for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This characterization could
result
in adverse U.S. tax consequences to you. For example, if we are a PFIC, our
U.S.
investors will become subject to increased tax liabilities under U.S. tax
laws
and regulations and will become subject to more burdensome reporting
requirements. The determination of whether or not we are a PFIC is made on
an
annual basis, and those determinations depend on the composition of our income
and assets, including goodwill, from time to time. We intend to operate our
business so as to minimize the risk of PFIC treatment, however you should
be
aware that certain factors that could affect our classification as PFIC are
out
of our control. For example, the calculation of assets for purposes of the
PFIC
rules depends in large part upon the amount of our goodwill, which in turn
is
based, in part, on the then market value of our shares, which is subject
to
change. Similarly, the composition of our income and assets is affected by
the
extent to which we spend the cash we have raised on acquisitions and capital
expenditures. In addition, the relevant authorities in this area are not
clear
and so we operate with less than clear guidance in our effort to minimize
the
risk of PFIC treatment. Therefore, we cannot be sure whether we are not and
will
not be a PFIC for the current or any future taxable year. In the event we
are
determined to be a PFIC, our stock may become less attractive to U.S. investors,
thus negatively impacting the price of our stock.
RISKS
RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK
Our
Common Stock Price Is Volatile And Could Decline In The Future.
The
stock
market, in general, and the market price for shares of internet service and
media companies in particular, have experienced extreme stock price
fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations have been unrelated to the
operating performance of the affected companies. Many companies in the internet
service and media industry have experienced dramatic volatility in the market
prices of their common stock. We believe that a number of factors, both within
and outside of our control, could cause the price of our Common Stock to
fluctuate, perhaps substantially. Factors such as the following could have
a
significant adverse impact on the market price of our Common Stock:
|
l
|
announcements
of technological innovations or new products by us or our
competitors;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
developments
concerning our proprietary rights or our competitors’
rights (including litigation);
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
our
ability to obtain additional financing and, if available, the terms
and
conditions of the financing;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
our
financial position and results of operations;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
litigation;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
period-to-period
fluctuations in our operating results;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
changes
in estimates of our performance by any securities
analysts;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
new
regulatory requirements and changes in the existing regulatory
environment;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
the
issuance of new equity securities in a future offering;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
changes
in interest rates;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
market
conditions of securities traded on the OTC Bulletin
Board;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
investor
perceptions of us and the insurance industry generally;
and
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
general
economic and other national
conditions.

The
Trading Market In CHIO’s Common Stock Is Limited And May Cause Volatility In The
Market Price.
CHIO’s
Common Stock is currently traded on a limited basis on the Over-The-Counter
Bulletin Board under the symbol “CHIO”. The Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board is
an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less
liquidity than the NASD’s automated quotation system, or the NASDAQ Stock
Market. Quotes for stocks included on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board
are
not listed in the financial sections of newspapers as are those for the NASDAQ
Stock Market. Therefore, prices for securities traded solely on the
Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board may be difficult to obtain.
The
quotation of our Common Stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board does
not
assure that a meaningful, consistent and liquid trading market currently
exists,
and in recent years such market has experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of many smaller
companies like us. Thus, the market price for our Common Stock is subject
to
volatility and holders of Common Stock may be unable to resell their shares
at
or near their original purchase price or at any price. In the absence of
an
active trading market:
|
l
|
investors
may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market
quotations;
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
market
visibility for our Common Stock may be limited; and
|
|
|
|
|
l
|
a
lack of visibility for our Common Stock may have a depressive effect
on
the market for our Common Stock.

We
May Have Difficulty Raising Necessary Capital To Fund Operations As A Result
Of
Market Price Volatility For Our Shares Of Common
Stock.
In
recent
years, the securities markets in the United States have experienced a high
level
of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many
companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have not necessarily been
related to the operations, performances, underlying asset values or prospects
of
such companies. For these reasons, our shares of Common Stock can also be
expected to be subject to volatility resulting from purely market forces
over
which we will have no control. If our business development plans are successful,
we may require additional financing to continue to develop and exploit existing
and new technologies and to expand into new markets. The exploitation of
our
technologies may, therefore, be dependent upon our ability to obtain financing
through debt and equity or other means.
Our
Common Stock Is Considered A “Penny Stock” And As A Result, Related
Broker-Dealer Requirements Affect Its Trading And
Liquidity.
Our
Common Stock is considered to be a “penny stock” since it meets one or more of
the definitions in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. These include but are not limited to the
following: (i) the common stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per
share; (ii) the common stock is not traded on a “recognized” national
exchange; (iii) the common stock is not quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market,
or (iv) the common stock is issued by a company with average revenues of
less than $6.0 million for the past three years. The principal result or
effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers
cannot recommend our Common Stock to investors, thus hampering its
liquidity.
Section 15(g)
and Rule 15g-2 require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide
potential investors with documentation disclosing the risks of penny stocks
and
to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the documents before
effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Potential
investors in our Common Stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure
carefully before purchasing any of our shares.
Moreover,
Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account
of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny
stock
to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain
from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation,
investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine,
based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable
for
the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience
as to
be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions;
(iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis
on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and
(iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor,
confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation,
investment experience and investment objectives.
Compliance
with these requirements may make it more difficult for holders of our Common
Stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of
them in
the market or otherwise.
Shares
Eligible For Future Sale May Adversely Affect The Market Price Of Our Common
Stock.
From
time
to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some
of
their shares of Common Stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions
in the
open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to
Rule 144, a stockholder (or stockholders whose shares are aggregated) who
has satisfied a six (6) months 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. Rule 144
also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of securities, without
any
limitations, by a non-affiliate of our company that has satisfied a one (1)
year
holding period. Any substantial sale of common stock pursuant to Rule 144
may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.
We
May Incur Significant Costs To Ensure Compliance With U.S. Corporate Governance
And Accounting Requirements.
We
may
incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting
requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance
requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
and
other rules implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules
and
regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make
some activities more time-consuming and costly. We also expect that these
applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive
for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required
to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher
costs
to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult
for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board
of
directors or as executive officers. We cannot predict or estimate the amount
of
additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
We
May Be Required To Raise Additional Financing By Issuing New Securities With
Terms Or Rights Superior To Those Of Our Shares Of Common Stock, Which Could
Adversely Affect The Market Price Of Our Shares Of Common
Stock.
We
may
require additional financing to fund future operations, including expansion
in
current and new markets, programming development and acquisition, capital
costs
and the costs of any necessary implementation of technological innovations
or
alternative technologies. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable
terms, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities,
the
percentage ownership of our current stockholders will be reduced, and the
holders of the new equity securities may have rights superior to those of
the
holders of shares of Common Stock, which could adversely affect the market
price
and the voting power of shares of our Common Stock. If we raise additional
funds
by issuing debt securities, the holders of these debt securities would similarly
have some rights senior to those of the holders of shares of Common Stock,
and
the terms of these debt securities could impose restrictions on operations
and
create a significant interest expense for us.
Standards
For
Compliance
With Section 404 Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act Of 2002 Are Uncertain, And If
We Fail
To Comply In A Timely Manner, Our Business Could Be Harmed And Our Stock
Price
Could Decline.
Rules
adopted by the SEC, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002
require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting,
and
attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accountants.
The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control
over financial reporting as effective are new and complex, and require
significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed
standards and will impose significant additional expenses on us. We may
encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an
assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition,
the
attestation process by our independent registered public accountants is new
and
we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any
requested improvements and receiving an attestation of our assessment by
our
independent registered public accountants. If we cannot assess our internal
control over financial reporting as effective, or our independent registered
public accountants are unable to provide an unqualified attestation report
on
such assessment, investor confidence and share value may be negatively
impacted.
We
Do Not Foresee Paying Cash Dividends In The Foreseeable
Future.
We
have
not paid cash dividends on our stock and we do not plan to pay cash dividends
on
our stock in the foreseeable future.
