NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1. 
INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Network CN Inc., its subsidiaries and variable interest entity (collectively “NCN” or the “Company” “we”, “our” or “us”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of our financial position and results of operations.
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were not audited. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial statements. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2012.

NOTE 2. 
ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Network CN Inc. was originally incorporated on September 10, 1993 in Delaware with headquarters in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”).  Since August 2006, the Company has been principally engaged in the provision of out-of-home advertising in China through the operation of a network of roadside LED digital video panels, mega-size LED digital video billboards and light boxes in major cities.
 
Details of the Company’s principal subsidiaries and variable interest entity as of June 30, 2012 are described in Note 4 – Subsidiaries and Variable Interest Entity.

Reverse Stock Split
 
On July 5, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously adopted a resolution approving an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of common stock, which the Company effected on September 16, 2011 (the “Reverse Split”) and a reduction of its authorized shares of common stock from 2,000,000,000 to 400,000,000 shares.
 
Shareholders received one new share of common stock in replacement of every five shares held on July 5, 2011, the record date for the Reverse Split. The Reverse Split did not change the stockholder’s ownership percentage of the common stock, except for minimal changes resulting from the treatment of fractional shares. The Company did not issue any fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Split. The number of shares issued to each stockholder was rounded up to the nearest whole number if, as a result of the Reverse Split, the number of shares owned by any stockholder would not be a whole number.

The Reverse Split proportionately reduced all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as common stock underlying stock options, warrants and other common stock based equity grants outstanding and the respective exercise prices were proportionately increased in accordance with the terms of the agreements governing such securities. Shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion of the Company’s convertible notes were also proportionately reduced and the respective conversion prices were proportionately increased.
 
All references to shares in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto including but not limited to the number of shares and per share amounts (except par value), unless otherwise noted, have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split retroactively. Previously awarded options and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock have also been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split.
 
 
Going Concern

The Company has experienced net income of $534,947 and net loss of $1,276,733 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Additionally, the Company has net cash used in operating activities of $426,698 and net cash provided by operating activities of $73,012 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company has a stockholders’ deficit of $2,691,120 and $5,056,418, respectively. Furthermore, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,403,921 and $5,420,014 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plans regarding those concerns are addressed in the following paragraph. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
In response to current financial conditions, the Company has undergone a drastic cost-cutting exercise, including reduction of the Company’s workforce, office rentals and other general and administrative expenses. The Company has also continued to strengthen its sales force in order to increase its sales volume. In addition, in 2011, the Company identified three media projects in China for which the Company is making a bid for consideration but the Company has not yet committed to any of these projects. If the Company is successful in its bid, the Company expects that these projects will improve the Company’s future financial performance. Accordingly, in October 2011, the Company engaged three independent consultants to provide consulting services in connection with the Company’s bid for the media projects. In February 2012, the Company secured a new media advertising project in Shanghai, China. The Company expects that the new project can generate positive cashflow to the Company.
 
The existing cash and cash equivalents together with highly liquid current assets are insufficient to fund the Company’s operations for the next twelve months. The Company will need to rely upon some combination of cash generated from the Company’s operations, the proceeds from the potential exercise of the outstanding option held by Keywin Holdings Limited (“Keywin”) to purchase $2 million in shares of the Company’s common stock, or proceeds from the issuance of the Company’s equity and debt securities as well as the exercise of the conversion option by the Company’s note holders to convert the notes to the Company’s common stock, in order to maintain the Company’s operations. Based on the Company’s best estimates, the Company believes that there are sufficient financial resources to meet the cash requirements for the coming twelve months and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
(A)
Basis of Presentation and Preparation
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with GAAP.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has determined that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate based on its estimates and judgments of future performance of the Company, future events and projected cash flows. At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments as part of its going concern assessment. Based on its assessment, the Company believes there are sufficient financial and cash resources to finance the Company as a going concern in the next twelve months. Accordingly, management has prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis..

(B) Principles of Consolidation
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Network CN Inc., its subsidiaries and its variable interest entity for which it is the primary beneficiary. A variable interest entity is an entity in which the Company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risks and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity. Upon making this determination, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the entity, which is then required to be consolidated for financial reporting purposes. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
(C) Use of Estimates
 
In preparing unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Differences from those estimates are reported in the period they become known and are disclosed to the extent they are material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
 
(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand, cash accounts, and interest bearing savings accounts placed with banks and financial institutions. For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had no cash equivalents.
 
 
(E) Allowance for Doubtful Debts

Allowance for doubtful debts is made against receivables to the extent they are considered to be doubtful. Receivables in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets are stated net of such allowance. The Company records its allowance for doubtful debts based upon its assessment of various factors. The Company considers historical experience, the age of the receivable balances, the credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay to determine the level of allowance required.
 
(F) Prepayments for Advertising Operating Rights, Net
 
Prepayments for advertising operating rights are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Cost includes prepaid expenses directly attributable to the acquisition of advertising operating rights. Such prepaid expenses are, in general, charged to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the operating period. All the costs expected to be amortized after twelve months of the balance sheet date are classified as non-current assets.
 
An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the prepayments for advertising operating rights exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the advertising operating right’s use and eventual disposition. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis.

(G) Investment in available-for-sale securities

The Company’s marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale investments and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Realized gains or losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary, if any, on available-for-sale securities are reported in other (expense) income, net. The Company evaluates the investments periodically for possible other-than-temporary impairment. When assessing other-than-temporary impairment of equity securities, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, the Company’s intent to hold the investment for a period of time which may be sufficient for an anticipated recovery in market value, and whether its cash flow needs may require the Company to sell the investment. If appropriate, the Company records impairment charges equal to the amount that the carrying value of an equity security exceeds the estimated fair value of such security as of the evaluation date. In computing realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, the Company determines cost based on amounts paid, including direct costs such as commissions to acquire the security, using the specific identification method.
 
The determination of current or noncurrent status for individual available-for-sale securities is made on the basis of whether or not the securities are considered working capital available for current operations under Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 210-10-45. We determined that investments in available-for-sale securities have not been made for the purposes of control, affiliation, or other continuing business advantage. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had no investment in available-for-sale securities.
 
(H) Equipment, Net

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Media display equipment
5 - 7 years
Office equipment
3 - 5 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 - 5 years
Motor vehicles
5 years
Leasehold improvements
Over the unexpired lease terms

Construction in progress is carried at cost less impairment losses, if any. It relates to construction of media display equipment. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until the relevant assets are completed and put into use.
 
When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost, accumulated depreciation and provision for impairment loss, if any are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs on equipment are expensed as incurred.

(I) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets, such as equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the asset’s use and eventual disposition. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis.
 
 
(J) Deferred Charges, Net
 
Deferred charges are fees and expenses directly related to the issuance of convertible promissory notes, including placement agents’ fees. Deferred charges are capitalized and amortized over the life of the convertible promissory notes using the effective interest method. Amortization of deferred charges is included in amortization of deferred charges and debt discount on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations while the unamortized balance is included in deferred charges on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. All the costs expected to be amortized after twelve months of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet date are classified as non-current assets.
 
(K) Convertible Promissory Notes
 
1) Debt Restructuring and Issuance of 1% Convertible Promissory Note

On April 2, 2009, the Company issued new 1% unsecured senior convertible promissory notes to the previous 3% convertible promissory note holders who agreed to cancel these 3% convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon), and all of the warrants, in exchange for the new 1% unsecured senior convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $5,000,000. The 1% convertible promissory notes bear interest at 1% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, mature on April 1, 2012, and are convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.1163 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Pursuant to ASC Topic 470-50 and ASC Topic 470-50-40, the Company determined that the original convertible notes and new convertible notes were with substantially different terms and hence the exchange was recorded as an extinguishment of original notes and issuance of new notes.

The Company determined the new 1% convertible promissory notes to be conventional convertible instruments under ASC Topic 815-40-25. Its embedded conversion option was qualified for equity classification pursuant to ASC Topic 815-40, and ASC Topic 815-10-15-74. The embedded beneficial conversion feature was recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The debt discount resulting from the allocation of proceeds to the beneficial conversion feature is amortized over the term of the 1% convertible promissory notes from the respective dates of issuance using the effective interest method.

2) Extension of 1% Convertible Promissory Note

The 1% convertible promissory notes matured on April 1, 2012 and on the same date, the Company and the note holders agreed tentatively to the following: 1) extension of the maturity date of the 1% convertible promissory notes for a period of two years and 2) modification of the 1% convertible promissory notes to be convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.09304 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. In all other respects not specifically mentioned, the terms of the 1% convertible promissory notes remain the same and are fully enforceable in accordance with their terms. The final agreement for extension and modification of the 1% convertible promissory notes has not been signed up to the date of this quarterly report.  Pursuant to ASC Topic 470-50-40-10, the Company determined that the modification is substantially different and hence the modification was recorded as an extinguishment of notes and issuance of new notes. Pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20-40-3, the Company allocated the amount of the reacquisition price to the repurchased beneficial conversion feature using the intrinsic value of that conversion feature at the extinguishment date and the residual amount would be allocated to the convertible security. Thus, the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt.

The Company determined the modified 1% convertible promissory notes to be conventional convertible instruments under ASC Topic 815-40-25. Its embedded conversion option was qualified for equity classification pursuant to ASC Topic 815-40, and ASC Topic 815-10-15-74. The embedded beneficial conversion feature was recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The debt discount resulting from the allocation of proceeds to the beneficial conversion feature is amortized over the term of the 1% convertible promissory notes from the respective dates of issuance using the effective interest method.

(L) Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue in the period when advertisements are either aired or published.
 
(M) Stock-based Compensation
 
The Company follows ASC Topic 718, using a modified prospective application transition method, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards in exchange for employee services. Under this application, the Company is required to record stock-based compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and unvested awards that were outstanding as of the date of adoption. ASC Topic 718 requires that stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognized as expense over the requisite services period.
   
Common stock, stock options and warrants issued to other than employees or directors in exchange for services are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by ASC Topic 718. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, the non-employee stock options or warrants are measured at their fair value by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (“performance commitment date”) or the date at which performance is complete (“performance completion date”). The stock-based compensation expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. Accounting for non-employee stock options or warrants which involve only performance conditions when no performance commitment date or performance completion date has occurred as of reporting date requires measurement at the equity instruments then-current fair value. Any subsequent changes in the market value of the underlying common stock are reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.
 
 
(N) Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740. Under ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are provided for the future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for the expected future tax benefits from items including tax loss carry forwards.
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or reversed. Under ASC Topic 740, the expense or benefit related to adjusting deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of a change in tax rates is recognized in income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
(O) Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
The Company follows ASC Topic 220 for the reporting and display of its comprehensive income (loss) and related components in the financial statements and thereby reports a measure of all changes in equity of an enterprise that results from transactions and economic events other than transactions with the shareholders. Items of comprehensive income (loss) are reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
  
Accumulated other comprehensive income as presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets consisted of the accumulative foreign currency translation adjustment at period end.

(P) Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per common share are computed in accordance with ASC Topic 260 by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to holders of common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares including the dilutive effect of common share equivalents then outstanding.
 
The diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as the basic net income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, as all potential ordinary shares including stock options and warrants are anti-dilutive and are therefore excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share.

(Q) Operating Leases
 
Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the leasing company are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease period.

(R) Capital Leases

Leases are classified as capital leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to lessee. Assets held under capital leases are initially recognized as assets at their fair value or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The interest elements of the finance cost is charged to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations over the lease period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term.

(S) Foreign Currency Translation
 
The assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries and variable interest entity denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet date. For unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations’ items, amounts denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars were translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate during the period. Equity accounts were translated at their historical exchange rates. Net gains and losses resulting from translation of foreign currency financial statements are included in the statements of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
 
(T) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

 
ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC Topic 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
 
Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, which consist of cash, accounts receivable, prepayments for advertising operating rights, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables, and convertible promissory notes approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities.
 
(U) Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The Company places its cash with various financial institutions. The Company believes that no significant credit risk exists as these cash investments are made with high-credit-quality financial institutions.
 
All the revenue of the Company and a significant portion of the Company’s assets are generated and located in China. The Company’s business activities and accounts receivable are mainly from advertising services. Deposits are usually collected from customers in advance and the Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers. The Company believes that no significant credit risk exists as credit loss.
 
(V) Segmental Reporting
 
ASC Topic 280 establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. The Company’s operating segments are organized internally primarily by the type of services rendered. Accordingly, it is management’s view that the services rendered by the Company are of one operating segment: Media Network.

(W) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 In December 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate—a Scope Clarification (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).   The objective of this update is to resolve the diversity in practice about whether the guidance in Subtopic 360-20 applies to a parent that ceases to have a controlling financial interest (as described in Subtopic 810-10) in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt. This update does not address whether the guidance in Subtopic 360-20 would apply to other circumstances when a parent ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis to deconsolidation events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted even if the reporting entity has continuing involvement with previously derecognized in substance real estate entities. For public entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU No. 2011-10 on our financial statements.

In December 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities The amendments in this update require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU No. 2011-11 on our financial statements.

NOTE 9. 
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES AND WARRANTS

(1) Debt Restructuring and Issuance of 1% Convertible Promissory Notes

On November 19, 2007, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Shanghai Quo Advertising Co. Ltd and affiliated investment funds of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group (the “Investors”) pursuant to which it agreed to issue in three tranches, 3% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due June 30, 2011, in the aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000,000 (the “3% Convertible Promissory Notes”) and warrants to acquire an aggregate amount of 6,857,143 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrants”). Between November 19 - 28, 2007, the Company issued 3% Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $15,000,000, Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $12.50 per share and Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $17.50 per share.  On January 31, 2008, the Company amended and restated the previously issued 3% Convertible Promissory Notes and issued to the Investors 3% Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 (the “Amended and Restated Notes”), Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $12.50 per share and Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $17.50 per share.  In connection with the Amended and Restated Notes, the Company entered into a Security Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2008 (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company granted to the collateral agent for the benefit of the Investors, a first-priority security interest in certain of the Company’s assets, and 66% of the equity interest in the Company.

On April 2, 2009, the Company entered into a new financing arrangement with the previous holders of the Amended and Restated Notes (the “Note Holders”), including Keywin.

Pursuant to a note exchange and option agreement, dated April 2, 2009 (the “Note Exchange and Option Agreement”), between the Company and Keywin, Keywin exchanged its Amended and Restated Note in the principal amount of $45,000,000, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, for 61,407,093 shares of the Company’s common stock and an option to purchase an aggregate of 24,562,837 shares of the Company’s common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000 (the “Keywin Option”). The Keywin Option was originally exercisable for a three-month period which commenced on April 2, 2009, but pursuant to several subsequent amendments, the exercise period has been extended to a forty-five-month period ending on January 1, 2013, subject to the Company’s right to unilaterally terminate the exercise period upon 30 days’ written notice. As of June 30, 2012, the Keywin Option has not been exercised.

Pursuant to a note exchange agreement, dated April 2, 2009, among the Company and the Note Holders, the parties agreed to cancel their Amended and Restated Notes in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon), and all of the warrants, in exchange for the Company’s issuance of the new 1% unsecured senior convertible promissory notes due 2012 in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “1% Convertible Promissory Notes”). The 1% Convertible Promissory Notes bear interest at 1% per annum, are payable semi-annually in arrears, mature on April 1, 2012, and are convertible at any time by the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.1163 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. In addition, in the event of a default, the holders will have the right to redeem the 1% Convertible Promissory Notes at 110% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The parties also agreed to terminate the Security Agreement and release all security interests arising out of the Purchase Agreement and the Amended and Restated Notes.

2) Extension of 1% Convertible Promissory Notes

The 1% Convertible Promissory Notes matured on April 1, 2012 and on the same date, the Company and the Note Holders agreed tentatively to the following: (1) extension of the maturity date of the 1% Convertible Promissory Notes for a period of two years and (2) modification of the 1% Convertible Promissory Notes to be convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.09304 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. In all other respects not specifically mentioned, the terms of the 1% Convertible Promissory Notes shall remain the same and shall be fully enforceable in accordance with its terms. The final agreement for extension and modification of the 1% Convertible Promissory Notes has not been signed up to the date of this quarterly report.

The embedded beneficial conversion feature are recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The intrinsic value of beneficial conversion feature is calculated according to ASC Topic 470-20. The 1% Convertible Promissory Notes before and after modification are considered to have a beneficial conversion feature as the effective conversion price was less than the Company’s market price of common stock at commitment date. The value of beneficial conversion features of 1% Convertible Promissory Notes before and after modification amounted to $1,447,745 and $3,598,452, respectively, is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the convertible promissory notes against additional paid-in capital. As the 1% Convertible Promissory Notes have stated redemption dates, the respective debt discount is amortized over the term of the notes from the respective date of issuance using the effective interest method.

The amortization of deferred charges and debt discount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

ITEM 2.
MANAG EMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
Overview of Our Business

Our mission is to become a nationwide leader in providing out-of-home advertising in China, primarily serving the needs of branded corporate customers. We seek to acquire rights to install and operate roadside advertising panels and mega-size advertising panels in the major cities in China. In most cases, we are responsible for installing advertising panels, although in some cases, advertising panels might have already been installed, and we will be responsible for operating and maintaining the panels. Once the advertising panels are put into operation, we sell advertising airtime to our customers directly. Since late 2006, we have been operating an advertising network of roadside LED digital video panels, mega-size LED digital video billboards and light boxes in major Chinese cities. Light Emitting Diode, or LED, technology has evolved to become a new and popular form of advertising in China, capable of delivering crisp, super-bright images both indoors and outdoors.
 
 Total advertising revenues were $942,983 and $719,774 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, but we had a net gain of $534,947 and a net loss of $1,276,733 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our results of operations were negatively affected by a variety of factors, which led to less than expected revenues and cash inflows during the fiscal year 2012, including the following:
 
·
the rising costs to acquire advertising rights due to competition among bidders for those rights;
   
·
slower than expected consumer acceptance of the digital form of advertising media;
   
·
strong competition from other media companies; and
   
·
many customers continued to be cost-conscious in their advertising budget especially on our new digital form of media.
 
To address these unfavorable market conditions, we have undertaken drastic cost-cutting measures commencing in the latter half of 2008, including reductions in our workforce, office rentals, selling and marketing related expenses and other general and administrative expenses. We have also re-assessed the commercial viability of each of our concession rights contracts and have terminated those of our concession rights that we determined were no longer commercially viable due to high annual fees. Management has also successfully negotiated some reductions in advertising operating rights fees under remaining contracts. Since the latter half of 2011, we have expanded our focus from LED media and have actively explored new prominent media projects in order to provide a wider range of media and advertising services and improve our financial performance.

We also completed a debt restructuring in April 2009. For details, please refer to Part II, “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. In the same year, the Company restructured its board composition and appointed Dr. Earnest Leung, as our Chief Executive Officer, in a bid to expand the Company and improve its financial performance.

In order to increase our operational efficiency and effectiveness, in early 2010, we began to restructure our organization by consolidating our PRC operations into one directly owned PRC entity, Yi Gao, in which we held a 70% majority equity interest at that time, with the remaining 30% minority equity interest controlled through a trust arrangement with Quo Advertising.   On January 20, 2011, the State Administration of Industry and Commerce approved Yi Gao to change from a sino-foreign equity advertising joint venture to our wholly owned foreign enterprise and issued Yi Gao an updated business license identifying Yi Gao is a wholly owned foreign enterprise of our Hong Kong subsidiary, Linkrich Enterprise and including operating an advertising business within its business scope. In accordance with our trust declaration agreement, Quo Advertising transferred its 30% minority equity interest on Yi Gao to our subsidiary, Linkrich Enterprise at no consideration. As a result of this transfer, we now hold 100% of the equity interest on Yi Gao through direct ownership and we no longer rely on the trust arrangement with Quo Advertising to control the 30% minority equity interest.
 
During the period from May 2010 to January 2012, we have only kept one concession right contract to operate 52 roadside advertising panels along the Nanjing Road in Shanghai, China. In February 2012, we secured a new media advertising project in Shanghai, China. Pursuant to a cooperative agreement entered into with Shanghai Shenpu Advertising & Decoration Co., Limited, we were granted the right to operate a mega-sized traditional advertising billboard located at Raffles City, Shanghai, and two mega-sized traditional advertising billboards located at different sections along Nanjing Road and Henan Road in Shanghai. The terms of the cooperative arrangement is one year with a renewal option. In the past, these three mega-sized advertising panels were mainly used by branded corporate customers such as Citibank, Nikon and Nintendo. and we expect that this trend will continue.
 
For more information relating to our business, please refer to Part I, “Item 1 - Business” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
 
 
Recent Development
 
Extension of Convertible Promissory Notes

On November 19, 2007, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Shanghai Quo Advertising Co. Ltd and affiliated investment funds of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group (the “Investors”) pursuant to which it agreed to issue in three tranches, 3% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due June 30, 2011, in the aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000,000 (the “3% Convertible Promissory Notes”) and warrants to acquire an aggregate amount of 6,857,143 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrants”). Between November 19 - 28, 2007, the Company issued 3% Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $15,000,000, Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $12.50 per share and Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $17.50 per share.  On January 31, 2008, the Company amended and restated the previously issued 3% Convertible Promissory Notes and issued to the Investors 3% Convertible Promissory Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 (the “Amended and Restated Notes”), Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $12.50 per share and Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at $17.50 per share.  In connection with the Amended and Restated Notes, the Company entered into a Security Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2008 (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company granted to the collateral agent for the benefit of the Investors, a first-priority security interest in certain of the Company’s assets, and 66% of the equity interest in the Company.

On April 2, 2009, we entered into the Note Exchange Agreement with certain Investors, pursuant to which the parties agreed to cancel the Amended and Restated Notes in the principal amount of $5 million held by such Investors (including accrued and unpaid interest thereon), and all the Warrants, in exchange for our issuance of new 1% Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes due 2012 in the principal amount of $5 million, or the 1% Convertible Promissory Notes. The 1% Convertible Promissory Notes bear interest at 1% per annum, are payable semi-annually in arrears, and matured on April 1, 2012. They are convertible at any time into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.1163 per share, subject to customary antidilution adjustments. In the event of a default, the Note Holders  have the right to redeem the 1% Convertible Promissory Notes at 110% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The parties also agreed to terminate the Security Agreement and release all security interests arising out of the Purchase Agreement and the Amended and Restated Notes.

The 1% Convertible Promissory Notes matured on April 1, 2012 and on the same date,  the Company and the Note Holders agreed tentatively to the following: (1) extension of the maturity date of the 1% Unsecured Senior Convertible Promissory Notes for a period of two years and (2) modification of the 1% Unsecured Senior Convertible Promissory Notes to be convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.09304 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. In all other respects not specifically mentioned, the terms of the 1% Unsecured Senior Convertible Promissory Notes shall remain the same and shall be fully enforceable in accordance with its terms. The final agreement for extension and modification of the 1% Convertible Promissory Notes has not been signed up to the date of this quarterly report.

The following results of operations is based upon and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I – Financial Information, “Item 1. Financial Statement.” All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.
 
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011
 
Revenues – Our revenues consist primarily of income from out-of-home advertising panels. We recognize revenue in the period when advertisements are displayed. Revenues from advertising services for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $536,208, as compared to $323,071 for the corresponding prior year period, an increase of 66%. Approximately 39% of the increase was mainly attributed to an increase in advertising sales orders received for our current Nanjing Road Project and the remaining 27% was attributable to the revenue generated from the new media advertising project in Shanghai during the three months ended June 30, 2012.
   
Cost of Revenues – Cost of revenues primarily consists of fees to obtain rights to operate advertising panels, advertising agency service fees, media display equipment depreciation expenses and other miscellaneous expenses. Cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $352,637, an increase of 31% as compared to $268,710 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in the amortization of advertising operating rights fee by 58%, to $281,168 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $177,456 for the corresponding prior year period, as a result of our new media advertising project in Shanghai during the three months ended June, 2012. This increase was offset by the decrease in business tax.

Gross Profit – Our gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $183,571, as compared to $54,361 for the corresponding prior year period. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by the increase in revenues which was partially offset by the increase in cost of revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Selling and Marketing Expenses – Selling and marketing expenses primarily consist of advertising and other marketing related expenses, compensation and related expenses for personnel engaged in sales and sales support functions. Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased by 19% to $91,352, as compared to $113,455 for the corresponding prior period. Approximately 7% of the decrease was mainly due to a restructuring of our sales team so as to enhance our operational effectiveness and efficiency and the remaining 12% was attributable to our continuous cost cutting measures.
 
 
General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses primarily consist of compensation related expenses (including salaries paid to executive and employees, stock-based compensation expense for stock granted to directors, executive officers and employees for services rendered calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 718, employee bonuses and other staff welfare and benefits, rental expenses, depreciation expenses, fees for professional services, travel expenses and miscellaneous office expenses.  General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased by 1,404% to $495,701, as compared to $32,962 for the corresponding prior year period. Approximately 554% of the increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to a reversal of over-provision of rental related expenses in connection with the Chengtian litigation amounting to $215,639 recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and approximately 802% was attributable to a reversal of over-provision of tax allowance for shares granted to executives amounting to $297,415 recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2011, as a result of the decline in our stock price when the vesting period expires. The increase was offset by a decrease in stock compensation amounting to $60,714 as a result of the completion of requisite service period in 2011 for certain previously granted stock.

Interest and Other Debt-Related Expenses Interest expense and other debt-related expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased to $320,223, or by 103%, as compared to $157,484 for the corresponding prior year period. Approximately 90% of the increase was mainly due to the increase in amortization of debt discount as a result of our extension of convertible promissory notes in April 2012 and the remaining 12% was attributable to the increase in interest paid for the short term loans.

Other Income (Expenses), Net Other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $1,882,097, compared to other expenses, net of $205,258 for the corresponding prior year period. The increase in other income, net was mainly attributed to our extension of convertible promissory notes in April 2012, from which the Company recorded a one-time gain on extinguishment of debt amounting to $1,877,594 during the three months ended June 30, 2012. Other expenses, net for the prior year period were mainly attributed to the non-cash impairment charges on available-for-sale securities amounting to $153,309 and loss from sales of available-for-sale securities amounting to $51,980.

Income Taxes The Company derives all of its income in the PRC and is subject to income tax in the PRC. No income tax was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, because the Company and all of its subsidiaries and variable interest entity operated at a taxable loss during the respective periods.
 
Net Income(Loss) – The Company incurred a net income of $1,158,392 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to a net loss of $454,798 for the corresponding prior year period. The increase in net income was primarily due to a one-time gain on extinguishment of debt amounting to $1,877,594 recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2012, we had cash of $88,041, as compared to $65,623 as of December 31, 2011, an increase of $22,418.  The increase was mainly attributable to the cash provided by directors’ loans and other short-term loans offset by more cash used in operating activities and financing activities.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $426,698 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities amounting to $73,012 for the corresponding prior year period. This was mainly attributable to more fees for advertising operating rights prepaid to suppliers.
 
Our cash flow projections indicate that our current assets and projected revenues from our existing project will not be sufficient to fund operations over the next twelve months. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to rely on Keywin’s exercise of its outstanding option to purchase $2 million in shares of our common stock or on the issuance of additional equity and debt securities as well as on our note holders’ exercise of their conversion option to convert our notes to our common stock, in order to fund our operations. However, it may be difficult for us to raise funds in the current economic environment. We cannot give assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue or raise new funds, or that Keywin will exercise its option before its expiration and our note holders will exercise their conversion option before the note is due. In any such case, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

 
Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $165,420, as compared to $6,937 for the corresponding prior year period. The increase was mainly attributable to leasehold improvements paid for the relocation of our Hong Kong and Shanghai offices as well as a motor vehicle purchased during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $615,868 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $100,000 for the corresponding prior year period. The increase was mainly due to the receipts of directors’ loan and other short-term loans for financing our operations during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was mainly due to a receipt of shareholder’s loan of $100,000 provided by Keywin.

Short-term Loans

On February 24, 2012, we received a loan of HKD1,000,000 (equivalent to $128,205) from an unrelated individual.

On April 17, 2012, we received a loan of HKD200,000 (equivalent to $25,641) from an unrelated individual.

Advertising Operating Rights Fees
 
Advertising operating rights fees are the major cost of our advertising revenue. To maintain the advertising operating rights, we are required to pay advertising operating rights fees in accordance with payment terms set forth in contracts we entered into with various parties. These parties generally require us to prepay advertising operating rights fees for a period of time. The details of our advertising operating rights fees were as follows:

For future advertising operating rights commitments under non-cancellable advertising operating right contracts, please refer to the table under the following sub-section – “Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments.”

We financed the above payments through the issuance of our equity and debt securities. As we currently only generate limited revenue from our media operation, we intend to continue to raise funds through the issuance of equity and debt securities to satisfy future payment requirements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into such agreements.

In the event that advertising operating rights fees cannot be paid in accordance with the payment terms set forth in our contracts, we may not be able to continue to operate our advertising panels and our ability to generate revenue will be adversely affected. As such, failure to raise additional funds would have significant negative impact on our financial condition.
 
Capital Expenditures

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we acquired equipment of $168,614 and $24,438 which were primarily financed by directors’ loans, short term loans and capital lease financing, and the cash flows generated from our operations, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
 
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate—a Scope Clarification (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).   The objective of this update is to resolve the diversity in practice about whether the guidance in Subtopic 360-20 applies to a parent that ceases to have a controlling financial interest (as described in Subtopic 810-10) in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt. This update does not address whether the guidance in Subtopic 360-20 would apply to other circumstances when a parent ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis to deconsolidation events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted even if the reporting entity has continuing involvement with previously derecognized in substance real estate entities. For public entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU No. 2011-10 on our financial statements.

In December 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities The amendments in this update require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU No. 2011-11 on our financial statements.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
  
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors.
