As used
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Report”), references to the “Company,”
the “Registrant,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Pay88, Inc., unless the context
otherwise indicates.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Report contains forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any
statements contained in this Report that are not statements of historical fact
may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information
includes statements relating to future actions, prospective products, future
performance or results of current or anticipated products, sales and marketing
efforts, costs and expenses, interest rates, outcome of contingencies, financial
condition, results of operations, liquidity, business strategies, cost savings,
objectives of management, and other matters. You can identify forward-looking
statements by those that are not historical in nature, particularly those that
use terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,”
“contemplates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projected,”
“predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these similar
terms. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides
a “safe harbor” for forward-looking information to encourage companies to
provide prospective information about themselves without fear of litigation so
long as that information is identified as forward-looking and is accompanied by
meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected in the
information.
These
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve
risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we cannot predict. In evaluating these
forward-looking statements, you should consider various factors, including the
following: (a) those risks and uncertainties related to general economic
conditions, (b) whether we are able to manage our planned growth efficiently and
operate profitable operations, (c) whether we are able to generate sufficient
revenues or obtain financing to sustain and grow our operations, (d) whether we
are able to successfully fulfill our primary requirements for cash, which are
explained below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. We assume no
obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required
under the applicable federal securities laws.
Corporate
Background
Pay88 was
incorporated on March 22, 2005 under the name “Pay88, Ltd.” in the State of New
Hampshire. We subsequently decided to reincorporate in the State of Nevada by
merging with and into Pay88, Inc., a Nevada corporation formed for such purpose
on July 7, 2005. Such merger was effectuated on August 9, 2005.
Through
our wholly-owned subsidiary, Chongqing Qianbao Technology Ltd. (“Qianbao”), a
Chinese limited liability company, we are primarily engaged in the sale of
prepaid multi player online game cards through our internet websites,
http://www.iamseller.com, and http://www.17logo.com. We also offer for sale on
such websites prepaid telephone cards and over 800 software products, including
cooking and language software.
Our
History
Between
the date of our incorporation and our acquisition of Qianbao on September 6,
2006, we were focused on becoming involved in the business of facilitating money
transfers from
the
United States to China. During such time period, our operations were focused on
organizational, start-up, and fund raising activities and entering into an
agreement with Chongqing Yahu Information Development Co., Ltd. (“Yahu”), as
described below. We never commenced our proposed business operations or
generated revenues in connection with such proposed operations.
In
furtherance of our intentions to enter into the money transfer business between
customers in the U.S. and China, on August 3, 2005, we entered into a five year
agreement with Yahu, pursuant to which, Yahu agreed to provide all proprietary
software needed to effectuate fund transfers between the United States and China
and technical assistance in the areas of installation and future product
support. This support includes assistance with all technical aspects of the
software as well as problem resolution and general inquiries. Pursuant to the
agreement, such services are to be provided to us for a licensing fee that is
based upon 20% of the gross fund transfer revenues. The fee is payable on a
quarterly basis. Mr. Tao Fan, a director and our Chief Operating Officer of
Pay88 (also a brother of Mr. Guo Fan, a director and the Chief Executive Officer
of Pay88), is the Chief Executive Officer of Yahu and owns 5% of its issued
shares of capital stock. We presently have no intention to engage in
the money transfer business. Nonetheless, we may in the future resume our plans
to develop the money transfer business.
On
September 5, 2006, we acquired Qianbao pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement,
dated as of such date, among Pay88, Qianbao, and Qianbao’s two shareholders,
Ying Bao and Yahu. Pursuant to such Share Purchase Agreement, Pay88
agreed to acquire Qianbao by purchasing from Qianbao’s shareholders all of their
respective shares of Qianbao’s registered capital stock, which represented 100%
of the issued and outstanding registered capital stock of Qianbao. In
consideration thereof, Pay88 agreed to issue to the Qianbao shareholders an
aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, to be allocated between the Qianbao shareholders as follows: 4,950,000
shares to Yahu and 50,000 shares to Ying Bao.
Qianbao
was incorporated on April 24, 2006, under the name "Chongqing Qianbao Technology
Ltd." under the laws of the People's Republic of China. Qianbao primarily
engages in the sale of prepaid multi player on line game cards on its internet
websites, http://www.iamseller.com and http://www.17logo.com, as further
described below. On July 3, 2006, Qianbao purchased an office located at No. 78
1st Yanghe Village, Jiangbei District, Chongqing, China for a purchase price of
approximately $393,000. Such office serves as Qianbao's executive offices.
Although we own the three units of office space, the underlying land is owned by
the People’s Republic of the State of China. Our right to use the
land expires in 2037 and may be extended at that time.
Our
Business
Through
our subsidiary, Qianbao, we are primarily engaged in the sale of prepaid online
video game cards that allow the user to play online video games for allotted
times. Qianbao also has undertaken
steps/plans to build a web distribution platform to provide effective
services for connecting diversified service providers and consumer product
suppliers to retailers and consumers in the Chinese market.
Qianbao’s
Business
Qianbao
sells prepaid multi player online video games on its websites, www.iamseller.com
and www.17logo.com to consumers or retailers visiting such websites. At present,
the main products offered for sale on our websites are online multi player
prepaid game cards, which allow the holder thereof to play, for
an allotted time, online video games. We also offer for sale on such websites
prepaid telephone cards and over 800 software products, including cooking and
language software.
While
Qianbao is planning to manufacture its own multiplayer online games in the
future, Qianbao does not currently manufacture any of the products offered for
sale on its website. Qianbao purchases such products from third-party suppliers
and resells them on its websites. Qianbao also arranges with some third-party
suppliers to make their products available for sale on Qianbao’s website, and
Qianbao earns a commission on such sales. Such commission is a percentage of the
revenues generated from such sales. The specific amount of such percentage is
negotiated between Qianbao and each such supplier, but generally ranges from 1%
to 5 %. We have arranged for the following companies to supply products to be
sold on Qianbao's website: Shandong Tianfu Online Platform (supplier of game
cards); Sifang Online Distribution Platform (supplier of game cards); Chongqing
Digital World (supplier of phone cards); Chongqing E Net Chongqing Sifang
(supplier of phone cards); Chongqing Taoxing (supplier of study cards); and
Chongqing Dezheng Technology Development. No individual supplier alone is material
to our current business. During fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008, the commission generated from the sale of prepaid telephone
cards and study cards represented an insignificant percentage of our gross
revenues.
Qianbao
has many competing companies which have financial, technical and marketing
resources significantly greater than those of Qianbao. Qianbao's major
competitors include Taoxing, Hongde, Hoyodo, Yun Web, Cobuy, Jun Web, and China
card Net.
Chongqing Taoxing – is a
reseller of online games in China. Taoxing is now the major reseller of SNDA,
9you, World of Warcraft, Kingsoft and Century on line games. Additionaly,
Taoxing is a distributor of Net easy, and Q currency.
Hoyodo- Chongqing Hoyodo
Technical and information Co., Ltd is the E-commerce platform of Chongqing
Tianji Net company and is a distributer of multiplayer on line
games.
Hongde online game time card sales
platform – An online sales platform of prepaid game cards. Customers on
this platform can watch movies online or download movies for free. This platform
only sells to internet cafes, not to personal users.
Fanxu- Focuses on the sales of
legal software and consulting service; and also sales computer materials and
prepaid game time cards.
Tongji online
http://www.10288.com/-Involved in the distribution and retailing of legal
software, games and game timecards, and now is generally developing its sales
ways in net cafes, bookstores and booths.
Jun Web- An Internet platform
of digital products, engaging in B2B and B2C of E-commerce, owns many general
charging cards, and many websites.
Cobuy- Conducts sales of on
line digital products, including but not limited to digital cards, group buying,
telecommunication, digital, flowers, underwear, auction, health care, adornment,
etc.
Yun web- Including the sales
platform of digital products, trade platform of products, Yun web online payment
system. Searching for the localization of E-commerce, revolutionary created an
all digital E-commerce mode.
Qianbao
currently has sixty-one employees, all of whom are employed on a full-time
basis. Nineteen employees are involved in technical operations of the company,
twenty one are involved in sales and marketing, and the remainder is involved in
human resources and finances.
All
employees are employed pursuant to our standard employment contract, which sets
forth the term of the employment, duties, compensation, and other such matters.
In addition, all
of our
employees are required to sign our standard confidentiality agreement, pursuant
to which they agree to maintain the confidentiality of all proprietary
information of our company. We do not believe that any of these contracts are
material to our business or operations.
On
September 12, 2007, we entered into Subscription Agreements with 3 accredited
investors for the purchase and sale of $1,155,000 of Secured Convertible
Promissory Notes for the aggregate purchase price of $750,000. We received net
proceeds from the issuance of the secured convertible promissory notes of
$652,237. Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements, we also issued
to these investors Class A warrants and Class B warrants that, in the aggregate,
are exercisable to purchase 2,310,000 shares of our common stock, subject to
adjustments for certain issuances and transactions. In accordance with the terms
of the Subscription Agreements, on October 31, 2007, we issued additional
secured convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $1,155,000 and
additional Class A warrants and Class B warrants that are exercisable to
purchase 2,310,000 shares of our common stock. We are using the net proceeds of
the secured convertible promissory notes (including the additional notes) to
expand our operations.
The
secured convertible promissory notes bear interest at the rate of prime plus 4%
per annum, and are payable in either cash or, absent any event of default, in
shares of our common stock. Payments of interest and principal commenced on
March 12, 2008 and all accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts
pursuant to the secured convertible promissory notes were due and payable on
March 12, 2009.
All of
the principal and accrued interest on the secured convertible promissory notes
is convertible into shares of our common stock at the election of the investors
at any time at the conversion price of $1.00 per share (subject to adjustment
for certain issuances and transactions or events that would result in “full
ratchet” dilution to the holders).
The
secured convertible promissory notes contain default events which, if triggered
and not timely cured (if curable), will result in a default interest rate of an
additional 5% per annum. In addition, we have to pay the investors 120% plus
accrued interest of the outstanding principal amount if the shares of our common
stock cease to be eligible for quotation on the Bulletin Board, or we sell
substantially all of our assets or Guo Fan ceases to be our Chief Executive
Officer.
The
obligations under the secured convertible promissory notes are secured by our
assets, the assets of our wholly-owned subsidiary Qianbao, a pledge of all the
shares we hold in Qianbao and personal guaranties of our Chief Executive Officer
and our Chief Operating Officer.
The
2,310,000 Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants and 2,310,000 Class B Common
Stock Purchase Warrants issued to the accredited investors are exercisable at
any time until September 12, 2012 at an exercise price of $0.81 and $1.13,
respectively. These warrants also include a cashless exercise provision which
was triggered after March 12, 2008 as well as “full ratchet” anti-dilution
provisions with respect to certain securities issuances.
At the
option of each investor, the conversion of the secured convertible promissory
notes or exercise of the warrants is subject to the restriction that such
conversion or exercise does not result in the investor beneficially owning at
any one time more that 4.99% of our outstanding shares of common
stock.
We
granted the investors piggyback registration rights along with certain demand
registration rights. The shares of common stock underlying the secured
convertible promissory notes were registered in a Registration
Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 16, 2007
and declared effective on October 30, 2007, file no.
333-146747.
Pursuant
to the Subscription Agreements, we also granted the investors a right of first
refusal with respect to proposed sales of equity or debt securities we make,
subject to certain exceptions. The right is effective until the earlier of one
year from the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date which the
secured convertible promissory notes are satisfied in full.
As a
condition to the issuance of the secured convertible promissory notes, we have
entered into Lock up Agreements with Guo Fan, our Chief Executive Officer, and
Tao Fan, our Chief Operating Officer, and three other individuals pursuant to
which each of them has agreed not to sell any shares of our common stock prior
to 365 calendar days after the registration statement which contains this
prospectus has been declared effective, or until the secured convertible
promissory notes are no longer outstanding.
The
Company commenced the repayment of the Notes and interests on March 19, 2008. As
of December 31, 2008, the Company paid $572,255 in total to the note holders,
such payments representing the loan principal of $539,250, the loan interest of
$13,005 and the fee of $20,000. The unpaid Notes balance is $1,770,750 at
December 31, 2008. The Company is in default of its agreed monthly repayment of
the Notes and the interests effective on June 2008. The accumulated scheduled
payments in arrears to investors amounted to $1,342,743 at December 31, 2008.
The accrued penalty for unpaid debt was $67,137 at December 31, 2008. In
addition, the Company accrued a mandatory redemption penalty of $354,150 for
unpaid principal balance at December 31, 2008. The Company is
currently in default on the Notes and accrued interest, which became due in full
amount effective March 12, 2009.
On March 4, 2008, the Board has determined that it is in the
best interests of the Company to raise up to $12,150,000 in capital pursuant to
a private placement held under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) by offering for sale up to 9,000,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock at a purchase price of
$1.35 per share. As of March 16, 2009, the Company issued 1,300,024
shares of its common to eighteen subscribers and received gross proceeds of
$1,755,032
On
December 30, 2008, the Company entered into an amendment with the holders of its
secured convertible promissory notes. The Amendment changed the original fixed
conversion price of $1.00 per share to the lesser of the closing bid price of
the Company’s common stock on the day prior to conversion date or $.80 per
share, subject to further reduction, as described in the original Notes. All the
other terms of the notes remain unchanged in full force and effect. The
Amendment also changed the exercise price of the Class A warrants from the
original $0.81 per share to $0.75 per share, and the exercise price of Class B
warrants from the original $1.13 per share to $0.75 per share.
The Company is currently in default on
the Convertible Notes and accrued interest, which became due in full amount effective March 12, 2009. The
Company is currently negotiating with the Convertible Notes holders and or
investors to restructure its current indebtedness to extend and or modify the
existing terms. In addition, the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable
operation and resolve its liquidity problems.
Risks
Relating To Our Business
The Company is currently in default on its senior
secured convertible
promissory notes. Our failure to repay the
secured convertible promissory notes could result in legal action against us,
which could require the sale of substantial assets.
The
Company is currently in default on its Senior Secured Convertible Promissory
Notes made pursuant to Subscription Agreements dated September 12, 2007, with 3
accredited investors for the purchase and sale of $1,155,000 of Secured
Convertible Promissory Notes for the aggregate purchase price of $750,000. The
Company received net proceeds from the issuance of the secured convertible
promissory notes of $652,237. Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription
Agreements, we also issued to these investors Class A warrants and Class B
warrants that, in the aggregate, are exercisable to purchase 2,310,000 shares of
our common stock, subject to adjustments for certain issuances and transactions.
In accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreements, on October 31,
2007, we issued additional secured convertible promissory notes in the principal
amount of $1,155,000 and an aggregate of 2,310,000 additional warrants. The
Secured Convertible Promissory Notes bear interest at the rate of prime plus 4%
per annum, payable in either (a) cash equal to 110% of 8.33% of the initial
principal amount of the Note or (b) absent any event of default, at the
Company’s option, in shares of our common stock at the lesser of the closing bid
price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to conversion date or $.80
per share (as amended on December 30, 2008), subject to further reduction, as
described in the original Notes. Although
said payments commenced on March 12, 2008 and all accrued but unpaid interest
and any other amounts due thereon was due and payable on March 12, 2009, such
notes, at the accredited investors’ option, are convertible into shares of our
common stock.
The
Company is currently in default on the Convertible Notes and accrued interest,
which became due in full amount effective March 12, 2009. As of March 12, 2009,
the unpaid convertible notes payable balance is $1,770,750; unpaid accrued
interest is $309,522; and unpaid accrued penalty interest is $438,509. The
Company is currently negotiating with the Convertible Notes holders and or
investors to seek ways to resolve the default issue. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful with the negotiation with the
Convertible Notes holders and we would be required to use our limited working
capital to repay the secured convertible promissory notes. Failure to pay could
result is legal action against us, which could require the sale of substantial
assets.
Our
promissory note due to our Chief Executive Officer is currently past due and we
may be required to use our limited resources to repay the loan
As of
March 27, 2009, the Company owes the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Guo Fan
$80,385,a loan which
was made pursuant to promissory note bearing interest at the rate of 5% per
annum. The loan was due and payable on August 31, 2008 and is currently past
due. We are currently negotiating with Mr. Fan to extend the maturity date of
this note but there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful with
the negotiation with Mr. Fan and would be required to use its limited resources
to repay the loan.
Our
limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects
and results of operations.
We have a limited
operating history. We were organized in March 2005, and in September 2006 we
acquired Chongqing Qianbao Technology Ltd. which operates a website for
the sale of prepaid multi player on line game cards in China. Qianbao has only
operated that website since April 2006. Accordingly, you should
consider our future prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties
experienced by early
stage companies in evolving markets such as the growing market for
Internet-based sales in China. Some of these risks and uncertainties
relate to our ability to:
•
|
increase
awareness of our brand and the development of customer
loyalty;
|
•
|
respond
to competitive market conditions;
|
•
|
respond
to changes in regulatory environment of our business in
China;
|
•
|
manage
risks associated with intellectual property
rights;
|
•
|
maintain
effective control of our costs and
expenses;
|
•
|
raise
sufficient capital to sustain and expand our
business;
|
•
|
attract,
retain and motivate qualified personnel;
and
|
•
|
upgrade
our technology to support additional research and development of new
prepaid card products.
|
If we are
unsuccessful in addressing any of these risks and uncertainties, our business
may be materially and adversely affected.
We are dependent on third parties
for the supply of prepaid multi player on line game
cards and other products that we resell and any interruption
in the production and/or delivery of those products or any increase in the
manufacturer’s costs may have a material adverse effect on our revenues and our
results of our operations, which may cause our stock price to
decline.
Our
subsidiary, Qianbao, purchases prepaid cards from third-party suppliers and
thereafter resells them on its website. Since Qianbao does not
manufacture any of the cards that they sell and, consequently, it is dependent
on the ability of its suppliers to deliver pre-paid cards on a timely basis.
Qianbao’s suppliers may also pass on increases in their cost of producing
pre-paid multi player on line game cards and other products. If
Qianbao’s suppliers pass on those costs or cannot meet Qianbao’s needs for
prepaid cards, Qianbao’s revenues and profitability would be negatively
affected. If we experience lower revenue and/or lower profitability,
our stock price may decline as investors may perceive weakness in our
business.
We may be unable to anticipate
changes in consumer preferences for prepaid multi player on line game
cards, which may result in
decreased demand for our products and may negatively affect our revenues and our
operating results.
Our
continued operation in the prepaid card market is in large part dependent on our
ability to anticipate selling prepaid cards that appeal to the changing tastes,
spending habits and preferences of customers. If we are not able to
anticipate and identify new consumer trends and sell new products accordingly,
demand for our products may decline and our operating results may be adversely
affected. In addition, we may incur significant costs relating to
identifying new consumer trends and marketing new products or expanding our
existing product lines in reaction to what we perceive to be a consumer
preference or demand. Such development or marketing may not result in the level
of market acceptance, volume of sales or profitability
anticipated. However, we cannot be sure that such a new product will
be popular with our current or potential customers, which would negatively
affect our revenues.
If the market for prepaid multi player on line game
cards markets in China
does not grow as we expect, our results of operations and financial condition
may be adversely affected.
We
believe that prepaid multi player on line game cards, and other prepaid products
have strong growth potential in China and, accordingly, we have continuously
focused our efforts on selling these products. If the prepaid card and online
video game market in China does not grow as we expect, our business may be
harmed, we may need to adjust our growth strategy and our results of operation
may be adversely affected.
The
loss of senior management or key personnel or our inability to recruit
additional personnel may harm our business.
We are
highly dependent on the senior management of Qianbao to manage our prepaid card
and online video gaming business and operations and our key marketing personnel
for the identifying prepaid cards and Internet technologies to expand our sales
and enhance our existing products. In particular, we rely substantially on our
chief operating officer, Mr. Tao Fan, to manage Qianbao’s operations and our
chief executive officer, Mr. Guo Fan, to manage our overall operations and
financing. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our
senior management or key personnel. The loss of any one of them, Mr. Tao Fan or
Mr. Guo Fan, would have a material adverse effect on our business and
operations. Competition for senior management, marketing and technical personnel
in China is intense and the pool of suitable candidates is limited. We may be
unable to locate a suitable replacement for any senior management or key
marketing or technical personnel that we lose. In addition, if any member of our
senior management or key marketing or technical personnel joins a competitor or
forms a competing company, they may compete with us for customers, suppliers
and/or business partners and other key professionals and staff members of our
company. Although each of our senior management and key marketing and
technical personnel has signed a confidentiality and non-competition agreement
in connection with their employment with us, we cannot assure you that we will
be able to successfully enforce these provisions in the event of a dispute
between us and any member of our senior management or key marketing and
technical personnel.
We
compete for qualified personnel with other prepaid multi player on line gaming
companies, marketing firms and software and Internet
companies. Intense competition for these personnel could cause our
compensation costs to increase significantly, which could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations. Our future success and ability to
grow our business will depend in part on the continued service of these
individuals and our ability to identify, hire and retain additional qualified
personnel. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified employees, we may be
unable to meet our business and financial goals.
We
may require additional financing in the future and our operations could be
curtailed if we are unable to obtain required additional financing when
needed.
In the
notes to our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007 both disclosed going concern issues. Additionally, our
registered independent auditors have a going concern exception to its audit
report, dated March 27, 2009, regarding our December 31, 2008 Consolidated
financial statements. Consequently, we will need to obtain additional
debt or equity financing to fund operations and to execute our business
plan. Additional equity may result in dilution to the holders of our
outstanding shares of capital stock. Additional debt financing may include
conditions that would restrict our freedom to operate our business, such as
conditions that:
•
|
limit
our ability to pay dividends or require us to seek consent for the payment
of dividends;
|
•
|
increase
our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry
conditions;
|
•
|
require
us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on
our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund
capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate
purposes; and
|
•
|
limit
our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business
and our industry.
|
We cannot
guarantee that we will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms that
are acceptable to us, or at all.
We
derive all of our revenues from sales in China and any downturn in the Chinese
economy could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial
condition.
All of
our revenues are generated from sales in China. We anticipate that
revenues from sales of our products in China will continue to represent a
substantial proportion of our total revenues in the near future. Any significant
decline in the condition of China economy could, among other things, adversely
affect consumer buying power and discourage consumption of our products, which
in turn would have a material adverse effect on our revenues and
profitability.
Our
largest stockholder has significant influence over our management and affairs
and could exercise this influence against your best interests.
At March
27, 2009, Mr. Guo Fan, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and our largest
stockholder, beneficially owned approximately 23.6% of our outstanding shares of
common stock, and our other executive officers and directors collectively
beneficially owned an additional 4.3% of our outstanding shares of common
stock. As a result, pursuant to our By-laws and applicable laws and
regulations, our controlling shareholder and our other executive officers and
directors are able to exercise significant influence over our Company,
including, but not limited to, any stockholder approvals for the election of our
directors and, indirectly, the selection of our senior management, the amount of
dividend payments, if any, our annual budget, increases or decreases in our
share capital, new securities issuance, mergers and acquisitions and any
amendments to our By-laws. Furthermore, this concentration of ownership may
delay or prevent a change of control or discourage a potential acquirer from
making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which
could decrease the market price of our shares.
If
we fail to develop and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may
not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud; as a
result, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our
financial reports, which could harm our business and the trading price of our
common stock.
Effective
internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and
effectively prevent fraud. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
requires us to evaluate and report on our internal controls over financial
reporting and have our independent registered public accounting firm annually
attest to our evaluation, as well as issue their own opinion on our internal
controls over financial reporting, beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. We plan to prepare for
compliance with Section 404 by strengthening, assessing and testing our system
of internal controls to provide the basis for our report. The process of
strengthening our internal
controls
and complying with Section 404 is expensive and time consuming, and requires
significant management attention. We cannot be certain that the
measures we will undertake will ensure that we will maintain adequate controls
over our financial processes and reporting in the
future. Furthermore, if we are able to rapidly grow our business, the
internal controls that we will need will become more complex, and significantly
more resources will be required to ensure our internal controls remain
effective. Failure to implement required controls, or difficulties
encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause
us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. If we or our auditors discover a
material weakness in our internal controls, the disclosure of that fact, even if
the weakness is quickly remedied, could diminish investors’ confidence in our
financial statements and harm our stock price. In addition,
non-compliance with Section 404 could subject us to a variety of administrative
sanctions, including the suspension of trading, ineligibility for listing on one
of the Nasdaq Stock Markets or national securities exchanges, and the inability
of registered broker-dealers to make a market in our common stock, which would
further reduce our stock price.
Risks
Relating To Conducting Business in China
Substantially
all of our assets and operations are located in China, and substantially all of
our revenue is sourced from China. Accordingly, our results of
operations and financial position are subject to a significant degree to
economic, political and legal developments in China, including the following
risks:
Changes
in the political and economic policies of China government could have a material
adverse effect on our operations.
Our
business operations may be adversely affected by the political and economic
environment in China. China has operated as a socialist state since 1949 and is
controlled by the Communist Party of China. As such, the economy of China
differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects,
including, but not limited to:
|
•
|
structure
|
•
|
capital
re-investment
|
|
•
|
government
involvement
|
•
|
allocation
of resources
|
|
•
|
level
of development
|
•
|
control
of foreign exchange
|
|
•
|
growth
rate
|
•
|
rate
of inflation
|
In recent
years, however, the government has introduced measures aimed at creating a
“socialist market economy” and policies have been implemented to allow business
enterprises greater autonomy in their operations. Nonetheless, a substantial
portion of productive assets in China is still owned by Chinese government.
Changes in the political leadership of China may have a significant affect on
laws and policies related to the current economic reforms program, other
policies affecting business and the general political, economic and social
environment in China, including the introduction of measures to control
inflation, changes in the rate or method of taxation, the imposition of
additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittances abroad,
regulation of the Internet and foreign investment. Moreover, economic reforms
and growth in China have been more successful in certain provinces in China than
in others, and the continuation or increases of such disparities could affect
the political or social stability in China.
Although
we believe the economic reform and the macroeconomic measures adopted by the
Chinese government have had a positive effect on the economic development in
China, the future direction of these economic reforms is uncertain and the
uncertainty may decrease the attractiveness of our company as an investment,
which may in turn materially adversely affect the price at which our stock
trades.
Social
conditions in China could have a material adverse effect on our operations as
the Chinese government continues to exert substantial influence over the manner
in which we must conduct our business activities.
China
only recently has permitted provincial and local economic autonomy and private
economic activities. The 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
adversely affected by changes in Chinese laws and regulations, including those
relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, regulation of the Internet,
protection of intellectual property and other matters. We believe our operations
in China are in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable legal
and regulatory requirements. However, the central or local
governments 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. If
the Chinese government or local municipalities limit our ability to market and
sell our products in China or to finance and operate our business in China, our
business could be adversely affected.
Recent
regulatory reforms in China may limit our ability as an offshore company
controlled by the People’s Republic of China residents to acquire additional
companies or businesses in China, which could hinder our ability to expand in
China and adversely affect our long-term profitability.
Our
long-term business plan may include an acquisition strategy to increase the
number or types of products we offer, increase our Web site capabilities,
strengthen our sources of supply or broaden our geographic
reach. Recent Chinese government regulations relating to acquisitions
of Chinese companies by foreign entities controlled by Chinese residents may
limit our ability to acquire Chinese companies and adversely affect the
implementation of our strategy as well as our business and
prospects.
On August
8, 2006, China Ministry of Commerce, the State Assets Supervision and
Administration of Commerce, the State Administration of Taxation, the State
Administration of Industry and Commerce, the China Securities Regulatory
Commission and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange jointly promulgated
a new rule entitled “Provisions Regarding Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic
Enterprises by Foreign Investors” (the “M&A Rules”), which became effective
on September 8, 2006, relating to acquisitions by foreign investors of
businesses and entities in China. The M&A Rules provide the basic framework
in China for the approval and registration of acquisitions of domestic
enterprises in China by foreign investors.
In
general, the M&A Rules provide that if an offshore company controlled by
Chinese residents intends to acquire or take control of a Chinese company, such
acquisition or transaction will be subject to strict examination by the relevant
foreign exchange authorities. The M&A Rules also state that the
approval of the relevant foreign exchange authorities is required for any sale
or transfer by China residents of a Chinese company’s assets or equity interests
to foreign entities, such as us, for equity interests or assets of the foreign
entities.
The
M&A Rules also stress the necessity of protecting national economic security
in China in the context of foreign acquisitions of domestic
enterprises. Foreign investors must comply with comprehensive
reporting requirements in connection with acquisitions of domestic companies in
key industrial sectors that may affect the security of the “national economy” or
in connection with acquisitions of domestic companies holding well-known
trademarks or traditional brands in China. Failure to comply with such reporting
requirements that cause, or may cause, significant impact on national economic
security may be terminated by the relevant ministries or be subject to other
measures as are deemed necessary to mitigate any adverse impact.
Our
business operations or future strategy could be adversely affected by the
interpretations of the M&A Rules. For example, if we decide to
acquire a Chinese company, we cannot assure you that we or the owners of such
company, as the case may be, will be able to complete the necessary approvals,
filings and registrations for the acquisition. This may restrict our ability to
implement our acquisition strategy and adversely affect our business and
prospects.
Further
movements in exchange rates may have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.
At
present, almost all of our sales are denominated in Renminbi. Since
1994, the conversion of the Renminbi into foreign currencies has been based on
rates set by the People’s Bank of China, and the exchange rate for the
conversion of the Renminbi to U.S. dollars had generally been
stable. However, starting from July 21, 2005, the Chinese government
moved the Renminbi to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market
supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies. As a result, the
Renminbi is no longer directly pegged to the U.S. dollar. On March 16, 2009, the
exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi was RMB 6.84 per U.S.
dollar. The exchange rate may become volatile, the Renminbi may be
revalued further against the U.S. dollar or other currencies or the Renminbi may
be permitted to enter into a full or limited free float, which may result in an
appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Renminbi against the U.S.
dollar or other currencies, any of which could have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition and results of operations.
Governmental
control of currency conversion may affect the ability of our company to obtain
working capital from our subsidiaries located in China and the value of your
investment.
China’s
government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign
currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency outside of
China. We currently receive all of our revenues in Renminbi. Under
our current structure, our income is primarily derived from payments from
Qianbao. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the
ability of Qianbao to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or
other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy its foreign currency denominated
obligations. Under existing Chinese foreign exchange regulations, payments of
current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and
expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies
without prior approval from China State Administration of Foreign Exchange by
complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval
from appropriate government authorities is required in those cases in which
Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to
pay capital expenses, such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign
currencies. China’s government also may at its discretion restrict
access in the future to foreign currencies for current account
transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from
obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may
not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our
shareholders.
Qianbao
is subject to restrictions on making payments to us, which could adversely
affect our cash flow and our ability to pay the noteholders and dividends on our
capital stock.
We are a
company incorporated in the State of Nevada and do not have any assets or
conduct any business operations other than through our operating subsidiary in
China. As a result, we will rely entirely on payments or dividends from Qianbao
for our cash flow to fund the payments pursuant to the secured convertible notes
and our corporate overhead and
regulatory
obligations. The Chinese government imposes controls on the
conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies
out of China. As a result, we may experience difficulties in completing the
administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency.
Further, if Qianbao incurs debt of its own, the instruments governing such debt
may restrict such subsidiary’s ability to make payments to us. If we are unable
to receive all of the funds we require for our operations from Qianbao, we may
not have sufficient cash flow to fund our indebtedness, corporate overhead and
regulatory obligations in the United States. We may be unable to pay dividends
on our shares of capital stock.
Uncertainties
with respect to the Chinese legal system could adversely affect our ability to
enforce our legal rights.
We
conduct our business primarily through Qianbao, our subsidiary in China. Our
operations in China are governed by Chinese laws and regulations. We are
generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in
China and, in particular, laws applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises.
China legal system is based on written statutes. Prior court decisions may be
cited for reference but have limited precedential value.
Since
1979, Chinese legislation and regulations have significantly enhanced the
protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However,
China has not developed a fully-integrated legal system and recently-enacted
laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic
activities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are
relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and
their nonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and
regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, China legal system is based in
part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published
on a timely basis or at all) that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we
may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until some time
after the violation. The uncertainties regarding such regulations and policies
present risks that may affect our ability to achieve our business objectives. If
we are unable to enforce any legal rights we may have under our contracts or
otherwise, our ability to compete with other companies in our industry could be
materially and adversely affected. In addition, any litigation in China may be
protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and
management attention.
It
may be difficult to effect service of process upon us or our directors or senior
management who live in China or to enforce any judgments obtained from
non-Chinese courts.
Our
operations are conducted and our assets are located within China. In
addition, a majority of our directors and all of our senior management personnel
reside in China, where all of their assets are located. You may experience
difficulties in effecting service of process upon us, our directors or our
senior management as it may not be possible to effect such service of process
outside China. In addition, China does not have treaties with the United States
and many other countries providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of
court judgments. Therefore, recognition and enforcement in China of judgments of
a court in the United States or certain other jurisdictions may be difficult or
impossible.
Recent
amendments to the corporate income tax law in China may increase the income
taxes payable by our operating subsidiary located in China, which could
adversely affect our profitability.
On March
16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China adopted a new corporate income
tax law in its fifth plenary session. The new corporate income tax law unifies
the application scope, tax rate, tax deduction and preferential policy for both
domestic and foreign-invested enterprises. The new corporate income tax law
became effective on January 1, 2008. According to the new corporate income tax
law, the applicable income tax rate for our operating subsidiary is subject to
change. As the implementation detail has not yet been announced, we cannot be
sure of the potential impact of such new corporate income tax law on our
financial position or operating results.
Risk
Relating to an Investment in Our Securities
Our
common stock is thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near “ask”
prices or at all if you need
to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your
shares.
We cannot
predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will
develop or be sustained. However, we do not rule out the possibility of applying
for listing on the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Market or other
exchanges. Our common stock has historically been sporadically or
“thinly-traded” on the “Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board,” meaning that the
number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near bid
prices at any given time may be relatively small or nonexistent. This
situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are
a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers,
institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or
influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such
persons, they tend to be risk-adverse and would be reluctant to follow an
unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our
shares until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a consequence
of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares
by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of our common
stock in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline
precipitously in the event a large number of shares of our common stock is sold
on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer that
could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. We
cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading
market for our common stock will develop or be sustained.
The
market price for our stock may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations,
which may adversely affect the price at which you can sell our
shares.
The
market price for our stock may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in
response to factors including the following:
•
|
actual
or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operations
results;
|
•
|
changes
in financial estimates by securities research
analysts;
|
•
|
changes
in the economic performance or market valuations of other Internet
companies offering prepaid multi player on line game
cards;
|
•
|
announcements
by us or our competitors of new products, acquisitions, strategic
partnerships, joint ventures or capital
commitments;
|
•
|
addition
or departure of key personnel;
|
•
|
fluctuations
of exchange rates between the Renminbi and the U.S.
dollar;
|
•
|
intellectual
property litigation; and
|
•
|
general
economic or political conditions in
China.
|
In
addition, the securities market has from time to time experienced significant
price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance
of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and
adversely affect the market price of our stock.
Future
sales of shares of our common stock may decrease the price for such
shares.
On
October 4, 2007, we issued 14,000,000 shares of our common stock upon the
conversion of 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock. On April 4, 2008, these shares became eligible for sale on the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. In addition, under a Registration Statement
filed with the Commission on October 16, 2007 and declared effective on October
30, 2007, file no. 333-146747), we registered for resale 7,929,500 shares of
common stock, which may be sold at any time. If any of our
stockholders either individually or in the aggregate cause a large number of
securities to be sold in the public market, or if the market perceives that
these holders intend to sell a large number of securities, such sales or
anticipated sales could result in a substantial reduction in the trading price
of shares of our common stock and could also impede our ability to raise future
capital.
The
issuance of shares upon conversion of the Secured Convertible Promissory Notes
and exercise of outstanding warrants may cause immediate and substantial
dilution to our existing stockholders.
The
issuance of shares upon conversion of the secured convertible promissory notes
and exercise of warrants may result in substantial dilution to the interests of
other stockholders since the purchasers of our secured convertible promissory
notes may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on conversion.
Although the purchasers of our secured convertible promissory notes and warrants
may not convert their notes and/or exercise their warrants if such conversion or
exercise would cause them to own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common
stock, this restriction does not prevent the purchasers from converting and/or
exercising some of their holdings and then converting the rest of their
holdings. In this way, the Purchasers could sell more than this limit while
never holding more than this limit.
Our
common shares are subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and the trading
market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock
cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the
definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For
any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules
require:
•
|
that
a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny
stocks; and
|
•
|
the
broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the
transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to
be purchased.
|
In order
to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or
dealer must:
•
|
obtain
financial information and investment experience objectives of the person;
and
|
•
|
make
a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and
experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of
transactions in penny stocks.
|
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock
market, which, in highlight form:
•
|
sets
forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination; and
|
•
|
that
the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the
investor prior to the transaction.
|
Generally,
brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the
"penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of
our Common shares and cause a decline in the market value of our
stock.
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and
information on the limited market in penny stocks. Accordingly, all
of the foregoing reduces the ability of a shareholder to sell our shares which
may reduce the market price of our stock.
State
securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in
which and conditions under which you can sell the shares offered by this
prospectus.
Secondary
trading in common stock sold in this offering will not be possible in any state
until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities
laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in
certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the
state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption
for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the
common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of
that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit
secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could
be significantly impacted thus causing you to realize a loss on your
investment.
Because
we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders
will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell
them.
We intend
to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our
business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in
the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be
able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. There is no
assurance that stockholders will be able to sell shares when
desired.

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation
The following discussion should be read in
conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in this report. All information presented herein is based on our fiscal
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Although Qianbao is a subsidiary of Pay88, the acquisition of
Qianbao by Pay88 that was consummated on September 5, 2006 has been treated as a
reverse merger of Qianbao. This means that Qianbao is the continuing entity for
financial reporting purposes.
Plan of Operation
Through our subsidiary, Qianbao, we will
continue to focus over the next twelve months on developing our internet
distribution platform on Qianbao’s websites and increasing the volume of
our sales of multi player online game cards on such websites. Qianbao
will continue to focus on developing its
websites, www.iamseller.com and www.17logo.com and to build other internet websites on
which it will operate a distribution platform through which we will be able to
offer products for sale to consumers or retailers located in the other provinces of
China. Qianbao will continue its efforts to
arrange for suppliers to offer for sale on such website the following products:
prepaid multiplayer online game cards, which allow the holder thereof to play,
for the allotted time, online internet games. We also offer for
sale prepaid study cards, which allow the holder thereof to use, for the
allotted time, online software that assists in the learning of various subjects
including Chinese, English and cooking. We have formal arrangements with the following manufacturers
to supply us with products to be sold on Qianbao’s website: Shandong Tianfu Online
Platform (supplier of game cards); Golden game (supplier of game cards);
51points (supplier of game cards); Optisp Communication (supplier of game cards): Sifang Online
Distribution Platform (supplier of game cards); Chongqing Taoxing (supplier of
study cards); and Chongqing Dezheng Technology Development. No individual
manufacturer alone is material to our current business. We are currently engaged in agreements with the
above mentioned suppliers. However, there is no assurance that we will be
successful in marketing and selling these products.
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, Pay88
had $159,071 and $124,108 in cash, respectively. We believe that such funds will not be
sufficient to effectuate our plans with respect to the business of Qianbao over
the next twelve months. We will need to seek additional capital for the purpose
of financing our marketing efforts.

Sales
Our net sales increased by $11,317,487
or 134.8% from $8,394,409 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $19,711,896
for the year ended December 31, 2008. Sales to local internet café or net bar increased
approximately by $2,587,000
or 43.9% from $5,896,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $8,483,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2008. Sales to regional distribution market
increased approximately by $8,371,000 or 349% from $2,498,000 from the year
ended December 31, 2007 to $11,229,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2008.
Cost of
Sales
Our cost of sales increased by
$11,106,755 or 135.7% from $8,135,938 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to
$19,292,693 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to the same
reasons for the increase in net sales. Our cost of sales consisted of the direct
cost of game cards purchases made from our game developers, such increases were
in line with the increase in our sales volume.
Gross
Margin
Our prepaid multi player on line game
cards and other prepaid products business generated a very low gross profit
rate, which was approximately 2.1% and 2.5% in 2008 and 2007, respectively. We
hope to expand our business into the regional distribution of game cards and to build self-made
game cards in the future to improve the gross margin. However, there is no
assurance that we will be successful in carrying out our plan, marketing and
selling these products and/or improve our gross profit rate of our current products.

Operating
Loss
Operating expenses, which consist of
common stock issued for consulting services, payroll and related expenses,
professional fees, selling
expenses, and other general and administrative expenses totaled to $1,168,387
for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $10,921,759 for the year
ended December 31, 2007, representing a decrease of $9,753,372. Our operating
loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 was
$749,184 as compared to an operating loss of $10,713,288 for the year ended
December 31, 2007, representing a decrease of $9,964,104. Our operating loss
decreased primarily due to a decrease in common stock issued for consulting services, offset by the
increase of payroll and related expense, professional fees, and other general
and administrative expenses as explained below.
Common Stock Issued for
Consulting Services
One significant reason for the decrease
in our operating expenses
was primarily due to the common stock issued for consulting services. On
September 17, 2007, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,666,667 shares of
common stock to TVH Limited, a Netherlands Limited Company, in consideration for
the services rendered. These shares were valued at
$10,133,332 and recorded as consulting fee in 2007 as one time charge. During
the year of 2008, the Company has issued 135,000 shares of its common
stock to Strategic Growth 1, Ltd. The shares issued in consideration for
services rendered were valued at $158,625, based on the closing price of the
issuance date. In addition, the Company issued 100,000 shares of
its warrants to Strategic Growth1, Ltd. at December 31, 2008 and recorded a fair
value of $18,200 as consulting expense based on the Black-Scholes valuation
model.
Payroll and
Related Expenses
Our payroll and related expenses
increased by $52,640 or 15% from $330,447 for the year ended December 31, 2007
to $383,087 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to the
expansion of our operations in 2008. During 2008, we have added ten new
employees. We had 61 full-time employees and 51 full-time employees as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, there were nineteen employees who are
involved in technical operations of the Company, twenty one are involved
in sales and marketing, and the
remainders are involved in management, human resources and accounting/finance.
In December 31, 2007, we had thirteen employees who are involved in
technical operations, twenty one in sales and marketing and the remainder in
management, human resources and accounting/finance. In addition, the Company
decided to pay its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating
Officer an annual salary in the amount of
$100,000 and $50,000, respectively, effective February of
2007.
Professional
Fees
Our professional fees increased by
$98,134 or 39% from $249,988 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $348,122
for the year ended December
31, 2008. We have incurred significant costs in connection with professional
services associated with the legal and accounting reporting obligations of being
a public company.
Other
General and Administrative Expenses
Our other general and
administrative expenses
increased by $55,827 or 30% from $183,623 for the year ended December 31, 2007
to $239,450 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily
consisted of the travel expense, which increased by $15,622; office supplies and
expenses, which increased by $15,347;
depreciation and amortization expense, which increased by $13,974; automobile
expenses increased by $4,389 and other increases. These increases were in line
with our business expansion.
Other
Expense, Net
Total other expense increased by $4,033,343 to $4,616,899 (net of $2,037 interest income) for the
year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $583,556 (net of $855 interest
income) for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase was primarily
attributable to interest expenses incurred in connection with the
amortization of convertible debt issuances in September and October 2007. We
have incurred and recorded the amortization of deferred financing costs and debt
discount and cash discount in connection with the convertible debt of $112,019 and $1,899,526, respectively, as interest expense for
the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $1,572,815 as compared to the same expenses of
$28,256 and $410,474, respectively, incurred and recorded in 2007. We also
incurred interests and
penalties in connection with the convertible notes in the amount of
$577,161 during the year ended December 31,
2008, an increase of $509,562, compared to $67,599 in 2007. In
addition, the Company
recorded $1,910,396 loss on derivatives for the year ended December 31,
2008, resulting from the
December 30, 2008 Amendment entered into with the Noteholders of the Secured
Convertible Notes. The Amendment changed the original fixed conversion price to
a variable conversion price, which has been accounted for in accordance with derivative
liabilities accounting and measured at fair value using Black-Scholes option
pricing model. During the year 2008, the other interest
expense decreased by $19,143, accrued related parties interest decreased by $6,697 and
other decreased by $20,462,
which related to non-operating expense and interest income increased
by $1,182 as compared those from the year of
2007.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
Cash flow used in operations for the
year ended December 31, 2008 was $215,388, compared to $1,839,560 for the year
ended December 31, 2007. This was mainly due to that 2007 was the first year
that the Company was in full operation, which required more up front
prepayments. As a result, the Company prepaid more expenses in 2007 than that of 2008. As a first year in
full operation, the Company also kept a higher inventory balance at December 31,
2007 than the balance at December 31, 2008.
On September 12, 2007, we entered into
Subscription Agreements with 3 accredited investors for the purchase and sale of $1,155,000 of
secured convertible promissory notes for the
aggregate purchase price of $750,000. We
received net proceeds from the issuance of the secured convertible promissory
notes of $652,237. As part of the financing, we also issued to the purchasers an aggregate
of 1,155,000 Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants and 1,155,000 Class B Common
Stock Purchase Warrants. The Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants are
exercisable at a price of $0.75 (amended on December 30, 2008) per share at any time until September
12, 2012 and the Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants are exercisable at a
price of $0.75 (amended on December 30, 2008) per share at any time
until September 12, 2012. The warrants include a cashless exercise
provision which is triggered after March 12,
2008 as well as “full
ratchet” antidilution
provisions with respect to certain securities issuances.
In accordance with the terms of the
Subscription Agreements, on October 31, 2007, we issued additional secured
convertible promissory
notes in the principal amount of $1,155,000 for the aggregate purchase price of
$750,000. We received net proceeds from the issuance of the additional secured
convertible promissory notes of $707,488. We also issued to the purchasers
an aggregate of 1,155,000 Class A Common
Stock Purchase Warrants and 1,155,000 Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants.
The Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.75
(amended on December 30, 2008) per share at any time until September 12, 2012 and the Class B Common
Stock Purchase Warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.75 (amended on December
30, 2008) per share at any time until September 12, 2012. The warrants include a
cashless exercise provision which is triggered after March 12, 2008 as well as “full ratchet” antidilution provisions with respect to
certain securities issuances.
The
Company commenced the repayment of the Notes and interests on March 19, 2008. As
of December 31, 2008, the Company paid $572,255 in total to the Notes holders,
such payments representing the loan principal of $539,250, the loan interest of
$13,005 and the fee of $20,000. The unpaid Notes balance is $1,770,750 at
December 31, 2008. The Company is in default of its agreed monthly repayment of
the Notes and the accrued and unpaid interests, effective in June 2008. The
accumulated scheduled payments in arrears to investors amounted to $1,342,743 at
December 31, 2008. The Company accrued a penalty of $67,137 for unpaid debt
balance at December 31, 2008. In addition, the Company accrued a mandatory
redemption penalty of $354,150 for unpaid principle balance at December 31,
2008. The Company is currently in default on the Notes and accrued interest,
which became due in full amount effective March 12, 2009.
On March 4, 2008, the Board has
determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to raise up to
$12,150,000 in capital pursuant to a private placement held under Regulation S
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) by offering for sale up to 9,000,000
shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of
$1.35 per share. As of December 31, 2008, the Company issued 1,300,024
shares of its common stock to eighteen subscribers and received gross proceeds
of $1,755,032. The cost in connection with this private placement
totaled to $408,040 for the year ended December 31, 2008, which representing the
finder fee, commissions and legal fees incurred and paid as of December 31,
2008. If we do not raise at least
$2,500,000 and still desire
to redeem the secured convertible promissory notes and warrants, we would be
required to use our limited working capital and additional loans from our
officers or directors to redeem said notes and warrants.
On
December 30, 2008, the Company entered into an amendment with the holders of its
secured convertible promissory notes. The Amendment changed the original fixed
conversion price of $1.00 per share to the lesser of the closing bid price of
the Company’s common stock on the day prior to conversion date or $0.80 per
share, subject to further reduction as described in the original Notes. All the
other terms of the notes remain unchanged in full force and effect. The
Amendment also changed the exercise price of the Class A warrants from the
original $0.81 per share to $0.75 per share, and the exercise price of Class B
warrants from the original $1.13 per share to $0.75 per share.
During the year ended December 31, 2007,
the Company received net loans totaling $579,300, primarily from its two executive officers, Mr. Guo
Fan, our president and chief executive officer and Mr. Tao Fan, our chief
operating officer. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company repaid
net loans totaling $522,439 to our two executive officers. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the
accrued interest payable included in the accounts payable and accrued expenses
caption was $79,325 and $46,128, respectively. Also included in the accounts
payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 2008 and 2007, are accrued salaries in the amount of $191,667
and $91,667 owed to our Chief Executive Officer. Such salaries were made payable
pursuant to an Employment Agreement between the Company and Mr. Guo Fan, dated
February 1, 2007, pursuant to which the Company memorialized the employment of Mr. Guo Fan as
its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to said agreement,
Mr. Guo Fan will be paid the annual salary of $100,000 during the five year term
commencing February 1, 2007.
On July
16, 2008, the Company signed a website platform development contract with Ziya
Company, a Chinese information technology company located in Hang Zhou, China.
The Company and Ziya will work jointly in the development of a state-of-the-art,
online gaming transaction platform to be utilized internally by Qianbao in the
marketing of online prepaid game card products throughout Chongqing and other
major cities in China. On July 29, 2008, the Company paid Ziya Company CNY
1,000,000, approximately $146,570 (translated as of December 31, 2008) to
initiate the Ziya platform expansion project. The estimated development period
is for nine months. The website platform has been in testing stage since
February 2009. We expect to finish the testing by the end of June 2009. However,
there is no assurance that our testing will be successful.
Lack of Insurance
The Company currently has no insurance
in force for its office facilities and operations and it cannot be certain that
it can cover the risks associated with such lack of insurance or that it will be able to obtain and/or
maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible
premiums.
Going Concern
The
Company has incurred a net loss of $5,376,835 and $11,305,479, which included
the amortization of deferred financing cost and amortization of debt discount
and cash discount of $2,011,545 and $438,730 for the years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively; the loss on derivatives of $1,910,396 and $0 for
the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company
has incurred significant losses and had negative cash flow from operations since
April 24, 2006 (date of inception) and has an accumulated deficit of $16,980,078
at December 31, 2008. In addition, as of December 31, 2008, the Company has a
working capital deficiency of $2,569,327 and delinquency in scheduled repayments
of the Convertible Notes payable, accrued interests and penalties of $2,470,559.
Substantial portions of the losses are attributable to consulting and
professional fees. Furthermore, the Company’s gross margin rate
from its
current operations was very low. It was approximately 2.1% and 2.5%
for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These
factors raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as
going concern.
The Company is currently in default on
the Convertible Notes and accrued interest, which became due in full amount
effective March 12, 2009. The Company is currently negotiating with the
Convertible Notes holders and or investors to restructure its current indebtedness to extend and
or modify the existing terms. In addition, the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon
management’s ability to develop profitable
operation and resolve its liquidity problems.
There can be no assurance that
sufficient funds will be
generated during the next twelve months or thereafter from the
Company’s current operations, or that funds will
be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other
potential sources. The lack of additional capital could force the Company to
curtail or cease operations and would, therefore,
have a material adverse effect on its
business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds,
if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant
dilutive effect on the Company’s existing
stockholders.
During 2008, the Company received net
proceeds totaling $1,346,992 from a private placement held under
Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”) after the payment of the offering cost of $408,040.
The Company has undertaken further steps
as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our
operations for the next twelve months and beyond to address our lack of liquidity by raising additional
funds, either in the form of debt or equity or some combination thereof. The
Company is planning to expand its current operations to increase its sales
volume. The Company is also seeking for the opportunities to diversify its operations, which including
other more profitable product lines and to improve its current gross margin.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company can successfully accomplish
these steps and or business plans, and it is uncertain that the Company will achieve a profitable
level of operations and be able to obtain additional
financing.
There can be no assurance that any
additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and
conditions, if at all. In the event we are unable to continue as a going
concern, we may elect or be required to seek protection from our creditors by
filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary
petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management
view it as a likely occurrence.
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or
classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and
classifications of
liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates
Financial Reporting Release No. 60,
published by the SEC, recommends that all companies include a discussion of
critical accounting
policies used in the preparation of their financial statements. While all these
significant accounting policies impact our consolidated financial condition and
results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical.
Policies determined to be critical are those
policies that have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial
statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and
estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
We believe that given current facts and
circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or
estimate methodologies would cause a material effect on our consolidated results
of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this
report.
General
The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which
require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, net revenue and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on
various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Senior management has
discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Board of Directors.
Management believes that the accounting estimates employed and the resulting
balances are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates
under different assumptions or conditions.
An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires
an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are
highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates
reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably possible could
materially impact the consolidated financial statements. Management believes the
following critical accounting policies reflect the significant estimates and
assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Basis of
Presentation
The consolidated financial statements
have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes the realization of
assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of operations. If we
were not to continue as a
going concern, we would likely not be able to realize on our assets at values
comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the
balances set out in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
There can be no assurances that we will be successful in
generating additional cash from equity or other sources to be used for
operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
Revenue
Recognition
For revenue from product sales, the
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,
“Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 104”), which superseded Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB No. 101”). SAB No. 104 requires that four basic
criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, (2)
delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4)
collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are
based on management’s judgment regarding the fixed nature of
the selling prices of the products
delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and
rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments
are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. Prepaid customer deposits and game
credits will be deferred until the credits are used.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The Company has adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (R) (revised 2004)
“Share-Based
Payment” which
requires the measurement
and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made
and or to be made to employees and directors (if any) including employee stock
options and employee stock purchases related to a Employee Stock Purchase
Plan based on the estimated fair values. The
Company does not have any employee stock options and employee stock purchases
plans at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
We use the fair value method for equity
instruments granted to non-employees (if any) and will use the Black-Scholes model for measuring
the fair value of options and or, warrants, if issued. The stock based fair
value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at
which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting
periods.
Allowance
for Doubtful Account
The Company’s receivables primarily consist of
accounts receivable from its prepaid online video game cards sales. Accounts
receivable are recorded at invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest. Bad debts
and allowances are provided based on historical experience,
management’s evaluation of the outstanding accounts
receivable and the estimated amount of probable losses due to the inability to
collect from customers. The management periodically evaluates past
due or delinquency of accounts receivable if any in evaluating its allowance for
doubtful accounts.
Long-Lived
Assets
The Company has adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS No. 144”). SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include
significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a
forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended
period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted
discounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying
value of long-lived assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future
discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition
of the asset. SFAS No. 144 also requires
assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the
fair value less costs to sell.
Income
Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes
using the asset and liability method described in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting For Income Taxes”, the objective of which is to establish
deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the
financial reporting and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax
rates expected to be in effect when such
amounts are realized or settled. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax
assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Foreign
Currency
Translation
The consolidated financial statements of
the Company are translated pursuant to SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency
Translation.” The
Company’s sole wholly-owned subsidiary, Qianbao,
is located and operated in China. The Chinese Yuan is the
functional currency. The
financial statements of Qianbao are translated to U.S. dollars using year-end
exchange rates (published by the Federal Reserve Bank) for assets and
liabilities, and average exchange rates (published by the Federal Reserve Bank)
for revenues, costs and expenses. Translation
gains and losses are deferred and recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income as a component of
stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains or losses
arising from exchange rate fluctuation on transactions denominated in a currency other than the
functional currency are included in the consolidated results of
operations.
Accounting for
Derivatives
The Company evaluates its convertible
debt, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those
contracts or embedded
components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be
separately accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 133
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and related
interpretations including EITF 00-19 "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments
Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own
Stock".
The result of this accounting treatment
is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market
at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. If the fair value is recorded as a
liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated
statement of operations as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a
derivative
instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion
date and its fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially
classified as equity that become subject to
reclassification under SFAS 133 are reclassified to liability at the fair value of
the instrument on the
reclassification date.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements " ("SFAS No. 157" ) and SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS
No. 159"), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. Neither of these
statements had an impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.In February 2008, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (the "FASB") issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") 157-2,
"Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP 157-2), which delayed the
effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and liabilities,
except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis, until January 1, 2009. We
have not yet determined the
impact that the implementation of FSP 157-2 will have on our non-financial
assets and liabilities which are not recognized on a recurring basis; however,
we do not anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material
impact on our consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows. The partial adoption of SFAS No.
157 and the adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2007, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee
issued Statement of Position 07-1, "Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and
Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and
Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies" ("SOP 07-1"). SOP 07-1 provides
guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA
Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the "Audit Guide"). SOP 07-1
was originally determined to be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007,
however, on February 6, 2008, FASB issued a final Staff Position indefinitely
deferring the effective date and prohibiting early adoption of SOP 07-1 while
addressing implementation issues.
In December 2007, the FASB
issued SFAS No.
141(R),"Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which establishes principles
and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in an acquiree,
including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a
business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is
effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is
currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption will have on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an
amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS No. 160"), which will change the accounting and
reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as
noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity
within the consolidated balance sheets. SFAS
No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on
or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is
currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB ratified the
consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-1, "Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements"
(EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1 defines collaborative arrangements and
requires collaborators to present the
result of activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and
report any payments received from (made to) the other collaborators based on
other applicable authoritative accounting literature, and in the absence of other applicable
authoritative literature, on a reasonable, rational and consistent accounting
policy is to be elected. EITF 07-1 also provides for disclosures regarding the
nature and purpose of the arrangement, the entity's rights and obligations, the accounting policy
for the arrangement and the income statement classification and amounts arising
from the agreement. EITF 07-1 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, and will be applied as a change in accounting principle retrospectively for
all collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective date. The Company
has not yet evaluated the potential impact of adopting EITF 07-1 on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2008, the FASB" issued SFAS No.
161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an
amendment to FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS No. 161 is intended
to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring
enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on
an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities
are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance,
and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company
has not yet evaluated the potential impact of adopting SFAS No. 161 on its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April
2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of
a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets”. The Company is required to adopt FSP 142-3 on January
1, 2009. The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life of
a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible
assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied
prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to,
adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FSP 142-3
on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles" ("SFAS No. 162"). SFAS No. 162 identifies the
sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles
used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that
are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the
GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days following
the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments
to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles." The Company does not expect the
adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a material effect on its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May
2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1 "Accounting
for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1
requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled
in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability
(debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner
that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP
APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a
retroactive basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential
impact, if any, of the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other recent accounting pronouncements
issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and
the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on
the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Pay88,
Inc.
Barnstead,
NH
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pay88, Inc. and
Subsidiary (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' (deficit) equity, and cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Pay88, Inc. and Subsidiary
as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses
from operations, generated negative cash flows from operating activities, is in
default on its Convertible Notes and accrued interest, and has an accumulated
deficit as of December 31, 2008. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Managements’ plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PAY88,
INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 –
Description of
Business and Basis of Presentation
Organization
The
Company was originally incorporated on March 22, 2005 under the laws of the
State of New Hampshire as Pay88, Ltd. On July 7, 2005, Pay88, Inc., a Nevada
corporation, was formed. Subsequently, the New Hampshire corporation was merged
with and into the Nevada corporation. On September 5, 2006, Pay88, Inc.
(“Pay88”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase
Agreement”) with Chongqing Qianbao Technology Ltd., a limited Liability company
organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Qianbao”), Ying Bao
(“Bao”), and Chongqing Yahu Information Development Co., Ltd., a limited
liability company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China
(“Yahu”; and together with Bao, the “Qianbao Shareholders”). Pursuant
to the Share Purchase Agreement, Pay88 agreed to acquire Qianbao at a closing
held simultaneously therewith by purchasing from the Qianbao Shareholders all of
their respective shares of Qianbao’s registered capital stock, which represent
100% of the issued and outstanding registered capital of Qianbao. In
consideration therefore, Pay88 agreed to issue to the Qianbao Shareholders an
aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Pay88 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, to
be allocated between the Qianbao Shareholders as follows: 4,950,000
shares to Yahu and 50,000 shares to Bao. Mr. Tao Fan, a brother of
Mr. Guo Fan, a director and officer of Pay88, is the Chief Executive Officer of
Yahu and owns 5% of its issued shares of capital stock.
The
5,000,000 shares of Pay88 Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into
14,000,000 shares of Pay88 common stock (see Note 10). The holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock were entitled to the number of votes equal to the
number of shares of common stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred
Stock could be converted. With the issuance of the 5,000,000 shares
of Pay88 Series A Preferred Stock, Qianbao’s stockholders have voting control of
Pay88 (approximately 58%) and therefore the acquisition was accounted for as a
reverse acquisition. The combination of the two companies is recorded as a
recapitalization of Qianbao pursuant to which Qianbao is treated as the
continuing entity although Pay88 is the legal acquirer. Accordingly,
the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Qianbao.
Qianbao
was incorporated on April 24, 2006 in Chongqing, China. Qianbao is currently
primarily engaged in the sale of prepaid online video game cards that allow the
user to play online video games for designated allotted
times. Qianbao also has undertaken
steps/plans to build a web distribution platform to provide effective
services for connecting diversified service providers and consumer product
suppliers to retailers and consumers in the Chinese market. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully accomplish these
steps/plans and it is uncertain the Company will achieve a profitable level of
operations from this new line of business due to limited resources of the
Company and possible change of other economic factors in China.
Pay88,
Inc. and Chongqing Qianbao Technology Ltd. are hereafter collectively referred
to as (the “Company”).
Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements included the accounts of Pay88
(Parent) and its sole wholly-owned subsidiary (“Qianbao”). All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
NOTE 1 –
Basis of Presentation
(Continued)
Going
Concern
The
Company has incurred a net loss of $5,376,835 and $11,305,479, which included
the amortization of deferred financing cost and amortization of debt discount
and cash discount of $2,011,545 and $438,730 for the years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively; the loss on derivatives of $1,910,396 and $0 for
the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, resulting from the
December 30, 2008 Amendment made to its secured convertible promissory notes’
conversion price and the exercise price of the warrants under the provisions of
EITF Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed
to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (see Notes 6 and
7). The Company has incurred significant losses and had negative cash
flow from operations since April 24, 2006 (date of inception) and has an
accumulated deficit of $16,980,078 at December 31, 2008. In addition, as of
December 31, 2008, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $2,569,327
and delinquency in scheduled repayments of the Convertible Notes payable,
accrued interests and penalties of $2,470,559. Substantial portions of the
losses are attributable to consulting and professional
fees. Furthermore, the Company’s gross margin rate from its current
operations was very low. It was approximately 2.1% and 2.5% for the
year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These factors
raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as going
concern.
The
Company is currently in default on the Convertible Notes and accrued interest,
which became due in full amount effective March 12, 2009. The Company is
currently negotiating with the Convertible Notes holders and or investors to
restructure its current indebtedness and extend and or modify the existing
terms. In addition, the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon
management’s ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity
problems.
There can
be no assurance that sufficient funds will be generated during the next twelve
months or thereafter from the Company’s current operations, or that funds will
be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other
potential sources. The lack of additional capital could force the
Company to curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material
adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no
assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on
attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the
Company's existing stockholders.
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, the Company received net proceeds totaling
$1,346,992 from its regulation S offering after the payment of the offering cost
of $408,040.
The
Company has undertaken further steps as part of a plan to improve operations
with the goal of sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and beyond
to address our lack of liquidity by raising additional funds, either in the form
of debt or equity or some combination thereof. The Company is planning to expand
its current operations to increase its sales volume. The Company is also seeking
for the opportunities to diversify its operations, which including other more
profitable product lines and to improve its current gross
margin. However, there can be no assurance that the Company can
successfully accomplish these steps and or business plans, and it is uncertain
that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations and be able to
obtain additional financing.
There can
be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to the Company
on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. In the event we are
unable to continue as a going concern, we may elect or be required to seek
protection from our creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or
may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date,
management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a
likely occurrence.
Going Concern
(Continued)
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the
amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.
Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior year’s consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for comparative purposes to confirm with current
year’s presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously
reported results of operations.
NOTE 2 -
Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For
purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, saving
accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid debt
instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents.
Allowance
for Doubtful Account
The
Company’s receivables primarily consist of accounts receivable from its prepaid
online video game cards sales. Accounts receivable are recorded at
invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest. Bad debts and
allowances are provided based on historical experience, management’s evaluation
of the outstanding accounts receivable and the estimated amount of probable
losses due to the inability to collect from customers. The management
periodically evaluates past due or delinquency of accounts receivable if any in
evaluating its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company had
allowance for doubtful account of $16,693 and $13,453 at December 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories
consist primarily of purchased game cards. Inventories are carried at the lower
of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123
(R) (revised 2004) "Share-Based Payment" which requires the measurement and
recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to
employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock
purchases related to a Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair
values. The Company does not have any employee stock options and employee stock
purchases plans at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Property and
Equipment
Property
and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets.
Revenue
Recognition
For
revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB No. 104”), which
superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements” (“SAB No. 101”). SAB No. 104 requires that four basic
criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence
of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is
fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably
assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on
management’s judgment regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the
products delivered and the collectibility of those
amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated
returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same
period the related sales are recorded. Prepaid customer deposits and game
credits in the amount of $135 and $2,359 were deferred until the credits are
used as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Advertising
Costs
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred. Adverting costs amounted to $1,825 and $5,931
for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Research and
Development
In
accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 2, the Company expenses
all research and development costs as incurred.
Segment
Information
SFAS No.
131, “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”,
changed the way public companies report information about segments of their
business in their quarterly reports issued to shareholders. It also
requires entity-wide disclosures about the products and services an entity
provides, the material countries in which it holds assets and reports revenues
and its major customers. The Company operates as a single segment and will
evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its
operations.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method described
in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting For Income Taxes”, the objective of which is to
establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences
between the financial reporting and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and
liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are
realized or settled. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax
assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Foreign Currency
Translation
The
financial statements of the Company are translated pursuant to SFAS No. 52 –
“Foreign Currency Translation.” The Company’s sole wholly-owned subsidiary,
Qianbao is located and operated in China. The Chinese Yuan is the functional
currency. The financial statements of Qianbao are translated to U.S.
dollars using year-end exchange rates (published by the Federal Reserve Bank)
for assets and liabilities, and average exchange rates (published by the Federal
Reserve Bank) for revenues, costs and expenses. Translation gains and
losses are deferred and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a
component of stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains or losses arising from
exchange rate fluctuation on transactions denominated in a currency other that
the functional currency are included in the consolidated results of
operations. There is no material foreign currency transaction gain or
loss for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Net Loss Per Common
Share
The
Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement
Number 128, “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic
and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with
complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the
diluted EPS
Basic
loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted
loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share except that it
includes the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities were
converted. Diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss
per share, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities (convertible debt –
$1,770,750 and $2,310,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, warrants
– 4,720,000 and 4,620,000, at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and
derivative liabilities associated with the variable conversion price on the
convertible debt, accrued interest and penalties of $815,284 and $0 for
convertible shares of 9,502,150 and 0 at December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively), are anti-dilutive.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The
carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash items, accounts
receivable, payables and accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings including
the convertible notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term
nature of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial
liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or
disclosed in the consolidated financial statements together with other
information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows,
interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of
financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed;
otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been
disclosed.
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements " ("SFAS No. 157" ) and SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS
No. 159"), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. Neither of these statements
had an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. The estimated fair values of the
convertible notes payable and loan payable – related parties approximate their
carrying value due to their current nature at December 31,
2008.
The Company’s derivatives are recorded in the
consolidated balance sheets at fair value in current liabilities and long term
liabilities. The fair value of derivatives were determined using Black-Scholes
Model.
Long Lived
Assets
The
Company has adopted SFAS No. 144. “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”). SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to
recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business
conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even
operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the
recoverability of long-lived assets based upon discounted cash flows. Should
impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will
be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from
the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. SFAS No.144 also requires assets
to be disposed or be reported at the lower of the carrying amount of fair value
less costs to sell.
Debt and Equity
Securities
The
Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”. The Company classifies debt and
equity securities into one of three categories: held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale or trading. These security classifications may be modified
after acquisition only under certain specified conditions. Securities classified
as held-to-maturity only if the Company has the positive intent and ability to
hold them to maturity. Trading securities are defined as those bought and held
principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. All other
securities must be classified as available for sale.
Held-to-maturity
securities are measured at amortized cost. Unrealized holding gains and losses
are not included in earnings or in a separate component of capital. They are
merely disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements.
Available-for-sale
securities are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets.
Unrealized holdings gains and losses are not included in earnings but are
reported as a net amount(less expected tax) in a separate component of capital
unless realized.
Trading
securities are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets.
Unrealized holding gains and losses are included in earnings.
Declines
in fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their
cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as
realized losses.
Accounting for
Derivatives
The
Company evaluates its convertible debt, options, warrants or other contracts to
determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify
as derivatives to be separately accounted for under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities” and related interpretations included EITF 00-19 “Accounting for
Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a
Company’s Own Stock”.
The
result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded
derivative is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a
liability. If the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair
value is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other income or
expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument
is marked to fair value at the conversion date and its fair value is
reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as
equity that become subject to reclassification under SFAS 133 are reclassified
to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification
date.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements " ("SFAS No. 157") and SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115" ("SFAS No. 159"), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. Neither of these statements
had an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. In February 2008, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued FASB
Staff Position ("FSP") 157-2, "Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP 157-2), which delayed the
effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and liabilities,
except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis, until January 1,
2009. We have not yet determined the impact that the
implementation of FSP 157-2 will have on our non-financial assets and
liabilities which are not recognized on a recurring basis; however, we do not
anticipate the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The
partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 and the adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2007, the Accounting Standards
Executive Committee issued Statement of Position 07-1, "Clarification of the
Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies
and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies" ("SOP
07-1"). SOP 07-1 provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within
the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the "Audit Guide"). SOP 07-1
was originally determined to be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2007, however, on February 6, 2008, FASB issued a final Staff
Position indefinitely deferring the effective date and prohibiting early adoption of SOP 07-1 while
addressing implementation issues.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 141(R),"Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which establishes
principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling
interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill
acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective as of the beginning of the first
fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is
prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the
adoption will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an
amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS No. 160"), which will change the accounting and
reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as
noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity within the
consolidated balance sheets. SFAS No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of
the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the
Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption will have
on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In December 2007, the FASB ratified the
consensus in EITF Issue No.
07-1, "Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements" (EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1 defines
collaborative arrangements and requires collaborators to present the result of
activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and report any
payments received from (made to) the other
collaborators based on other applicable authoritative accounting literature, and
in the absence of other applicable authoritative literature, on a reasonable,
rational and consistent accounting policy is to be elected. EITF 07-1 also provides for disclosures
regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, the entity's rights and
obligations, the accounting policy for the arrangement and the income statement
classification and amounts arising from the agreement. EITF 07-1 will be effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008, and will be applied as a change in accounting
principle retrospectively for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the
effective date. The Company has not yet evaluated the potential impact of adopting EITF 07-1 on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements (Continued)
In March 2008, the FASB" issued SFAS No.
161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment to FASB
Statement No. 133" ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve
financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand
their effects on an entity's financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to
provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and
its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related
hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and
cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company has not yet
evaluated the potential impact of adopting SFAS No. 161 on its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April
2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of
a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets”. The Company is required to adopt FSP 142-3 on January
1, 2009. The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life of
a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible
assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied
prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to,
adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FSP 142-3
on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles" ("SFAS No. 162"). SFAS No. 162 identifies the
sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles
used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that
are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the
GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days following
the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments
to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles." The Company does not expect the
adoption of SFAS No. 162 will have a material effect on its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May
2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1 "Accounting
for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1
requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled
in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability
(debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner
that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP
APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a
retroactive basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential
impact, if any, of the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on its consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other recent accounting pronouncements
issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are
not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present
or future consolidated financial statements.

The
Company purchased three units of office space in July 2006 in Chongqing China.
In the People’s Republic of China, land is owned by the State. The
right for the Company to use the land expires in 2037 and may be extended at
that time. Accordingly, the office units and improvement represent those costs
related to the buildings and improvement.
NOTE 5 –
Website platform
development
On July
16, 2008, the Company signed a website platform development contract with Ziya
Company, a Chinese information technology company located in Hangzhou, China.
The Company and Ziya will work jointly in the development of a state-of-the-art,
online gaming transaction platform to be utilized internally by Qianbao in the
marketing of online prepaid game card products throughout Chongqing and other
major cities in China. On July 29, 2008, the Company paid Ziya Company 1,000,000
RMB, approximately $146,570 (translated as of December 31, 2008) to initiate the
website platform project. The estimated development period is for nine
months. The Company is applying the provisions of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) No.
98-1, “Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use”, and the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue (“EITF”) No. 00-02,
“Accounting for Website Development Costs”. The rules specify
different stages of development and the related accounting guidance that
accompanies each stage. Purchased third party software and related
implementation costs and internal and external costs incurred related to the
application development stage are capitalized and included in other assets under
the caption of Website platform development. Such capitalized costs
will be amortized using the straight-line method over three years of the
estimated useful life after the new platform is in use. All costs
incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred and those costs to be
incurred in the operating stage will be expensed as incurred.
NOTE 5 –
Website platform
development (Continued)
The
website platform has been in testing stage since February 2009. We expect to
finish the testing by the end of June 2009. However, there is no assurance that
our testing will be successful.

On
September 12, 2007, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements (the
"Subscription Agreements") with 3 investors ("Purchasers"), for the purchase and
sale of $1,155,000 of Secured Convertible Promissory Notes of the Company (the
“Notes”) for the aggregate purchase price of $750,000 (the “Note Financing”).
The Company received net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes of
$652,237.
On
October 31, 2007, the Company entered into a Second Subscription Agreements (the
"Subscription Agreements") with the same 3 investors ("Purchasers")
dated September 12, 2007, for the purchase and sale of $1,155,000 of Secured
Convertible Promissory Notes of the Company (the second “Notes”) for the
aggregate purchase price of $750,000 (the “Note Financing”). The Company
received net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes of $707,488.
Both of
the Notes bear interest at the rate of prime plus 4% per annum (9% per annum at
December 31, 2008), payable in either (a) cash equal to 110% of 8.33% of the
initial principal amount or (b) absent any event of default, in shares of the
Company’s common stock at the lesser of (i) $1.00 per share or (ii) 80% of the
average of the closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock for the 20
trading days preceding the payment date at the option of the Company. Said
payments commence on March 12, 2008 and all accrued but unpaid interest and any
other amounts due thereon is due and payable on March 12, 2009, or earlier upon
acceleration following an event of default, as defined in the Notes. The Company
is in default on the Notes and accrued interest, which became due on March 12,
2009 (See Note 15).
All
principal and accrued interest on the both Notes are convertible into shares of
the Company’s common stock at the election of the Purchasers at any time at the
conversion price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment for certain
issuances, transactions or events that would result in “full ratchet” dilution
to the holders.
Both
Notes contained same default events which, if triggered and not timely cured (if
curable), will result in a default interest rate of an additional 5% per annum.
The Notes also contain antidilution provisions with respect to certain
securities issuances, including the issuances of stock for less than $1.00 per
share. In addition, the Company has to pay the Purchasers 120% plus accrued
interest of the outstanding principal amount if the Company is no longer listed
on the Bulletin Board, sells substantially all of its assets or Guo Fan is no
longer the Chief Executive Officer.
NOTE 6 -
Convertible
Debt (Continued)
As part
of the financing, the Company also issued to the Purchasers an aggregate of
2,310,000 Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants and 2,310,000 Class B Common
Stock Purchase Warrants. (1,155,000 Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants and
1,155,000 Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants on each notes). The Class A
Warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.81 per share at any time until
September 12, 2012 and the Class B Warrants are exercisable at a price of $1.13
per share at any time until September 12, 2012. The warrants include a cashless
exercise provision which is triggered after March 12, 2008 as well as “full
ratchet” antidilution provisions with respect to certain securities
issuances.
The
option of each Purchaser, conversion of the Notes, or exercise of the Warrants,
is subject to the restriction that such conversion or exercise, does not result
in the Purchaser beneficially owning at any one time more that 4.99% of the
Company’s outstanding shares of common stock.
Payment
of the Notes along with the Company’s other obligations to the Purchasers is
secured by all the assets of the Company and of its wholly-owned subsidiary
Chongqinq Qianbao Technology Ltd., a limited liability company organized under
the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Qianbao”). Such obligations are
also secured by a pledge of all the shares the Company holds in Qianbao and the
Company’s 13,860,000 shares of common stock which was converted from 4,950,000
shares of Series A Preferred Stock during 2007 (see Note 9), as well as personal
guaranties of Guo Fan, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the
Company, and by Tao Fan, the Chief Executive Officer of Qianbao and Chief
Operating Officer and a director of the Company.
In
connection with the transaction, the Company agreed to prepare and file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission within 30 days following the closing a
registration statement on Form SB-2 for the purpose of registering for resale
all of the shares of common stock underlying the Notes, If the Company fails to
file such registration statement within such time, or if the registration
statement is not declared effective within 91 days from September 16, 2007, the
Company must pay monthly liquidated damages in cash equal to 2% of the principal
amount of the Notes and purchase price of the Warrants. The Purchasers were also
granted standard piggyback registration rights along with certain demand
registration rights. The registration statement on Form SB-2 was declared
effective as of October 30, 2007.
In
connection with the first and second convertible debts, the Company recorded a
cash discount of $810,000 and deferred finance costs of $140,275. Such deferred
finance costs are being amortized over the life of the related debt. The Company
also recorded a deferred debt discount in the amount of $1,500,000 to reflect
the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debt and the value of the
warrants. The beneficial conversion feature was recorded pursuant to Emerging
Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-27: “Application of EITF No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible
Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable
Conversion Ratios, to Certain Convertible Instruments”. In accordance
with EITF 00-27, the Company evaluated the value of the beneficial conversion
feature and recorded the amount of $333,533 as a reduction to the carrying
amount of the convertible debt and as an addition to paid-in capital.
Additionally, the relative fair value of the warrants $1,166,467 was calculated
and recorded as a further reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible
debt and as addition to paid-in capital. Unamortized amount of beneficial
conversion feature and relative fair value of the warrants was $194,017 at
December 31, 2008, which have been written off due to the default condition at
December 31, 2008.
The
Company is amortizing the discounts over the term of the debt in accordance with
EITF 00-27 quidance. Amortization of the debt and cash discount for
the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $1,676,446 and $410,474,
respectively, and the amortization is reported as a component of interest
expense. Amortization of deferred finance costs for the year ended December 31,
2008 and 2007 amounted to $107,089 and $28,256, respectively, and is reported as
a component of interest expense. An unamortized deferred finance cost of $4,930
was written off due to the default condition at December 31, 2008.
NOTE 6 -
Convertible
Debt (Continued)
The
Company commenced the repayment of the Notes and interests on March 19, 2008. As
of December 31, 2008, the Company paid $572,255 in total to the note holders,
such payments representing the loan principal of $539,250, the loan interest of
$13,005 and the fee of $20,000. The unpaid Notes balance is $1,770,750 at
December 31, 2008. The Company is in default of its agreed monthly repayment of
the Notes and the interests effective in June 2008. The accumulated scheduled
payments in arrear to the Note holders or investors amounted to $1,342,743 at
December 31, 2008. The Company accrued a penalty of $67,137 for underpaid debt
balance at December 31, 2008. In addition, the Company accrued a mandatory
redemption penalty of $354,150 for unpaid principal balance at December 31,
2008.
On
December 30, 2008, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) with
the holders of its secured convertible promissory notes. The Amendment changed
the original fixed conversion price of $1.00 per share to the lesser of the
closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the day prior to conversion
date or $0.80 per share, subject to further reduction as described in the
original Notes. All the other terms of the notes remain unchanged in full force
and effect. The Amendment also changed the exercise price of the Class A
warrants from the original $0.81 per share to $0.75 per share, and the exercise
price of Class B warrants from the original $1.13 per share to $0.75 per share.
Due to default on its Convertible Notes payment, the Company wrote off the
balance of unamortized beneficial conversion feature and relative fair value of
the warrants totaled $194,017 and unamortized cash discount of $29,062 at
December 31, 2008.
NOTE 7 –
Derivative
Liabilities
The
Company is accounting for the amended variable conversion price in the
Convertible Notes, accrued and unpaid interest and penalties and the associated
warrants as derivative liabilities in accordance with SFAS 133, “Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and EITF 00-19 “Accounting for
Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a
Company’s Own Stock” due to the fact that the conversion features have a
variable conversion price as a result of the Company’s Amendment made on the
Convertible Notes dated December 30, 2008 (see Note 6), measured at fair value
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company also determined that
the warrants did not meet the conditions for equity classification because these
instruments did not meet all of the criteria necessary for equity
classification, hence the conversion feature could result in a variable number
of shares to be issued upon conversion. This condition, which is outside of the
Company’s control, could impact the Company’s ability to maintain the
appropriate level of reserved shares in place required for the warrants. This
could result in the need for the Company to obtain approval from its
shareholders to increase its authorized share capital to accommodate the
appropriate reserves for shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. Since
shareholder approval for this increase of authorized share capital cannot be
guaranteed, the warrants, in accordance with EITF 00-19, need to be classified
as a liability on the Company balance sheet, measured at fair value using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The
Company combined all embedded features resulting from the December 30, 2008
Amendment that required bifurcation into one compound instrument that is carried
as a component of derivative liabilities. Derivative liabilities at December 31,
2008 consist of the following:

Commitments and
Contingencies
Country
Risk
As the
Company's principal operations are conducted in the People’s Republic of China
(the “PRC”), the Company is subject to special considerations and significant
risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western
Europe. These risks include, among others, risks associated with the political,
economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange limitations
encountered in the PRC. The Company's results of operations 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, among
other things.
In
addition, all of the Company's transactions undertaken in the PRC are
denominated in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY), which must be converted into other
currencies before remittance out of the PRC may be considered. Both the
conversion of CNY into foreign currencies and the remittance of foreign
currencies abroad require the approval of the PRC government.

Relationships
On
February 1, 2007, the board of directors of the Company appointed Mr. Tao Fan as
the Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Mr. Tao Fan is the Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Qianbao, our
wholly-owned subsidiary. Mr. Tao Fan is also the Chief Executive
Officer of Yahu, a principal shareholder of the Company. Mr. Tao Fan
is the brother of Mr. Guo Fan, the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company.
NOTE 13 -
Concentration of
Credit Risk
The
Company maintains cash balances in various banks in China. Currently, no deposit
insurance system has been set up in China. Therefore, the Company will bear all
risk if any of these banks become insolvent. As of December 31, 2008, the
Company’s uninsured cash balance was $154,876.
NOTE 14 -
Income
Taxes
The
provision for income tax in the amount of $10,752 and $8,635 for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were related to foreign income tax
incurred and or paid to the Chinese tax agent. The Company’s income tax was
assessed on the base of 13% of gross profit, which multiplied by the applicable
tax brackets.
At
December 31, 2008, the Company had available net operating loss carry-forward
for Federal tax purposes of approximately $1,464,000, which may be applied
against future taxable income, if any, during the maximum twenty years
carry-forward period through the year of 2028. Certain significant changes in
ownership of the Company may restrict the future utilization of these tax loss
carry-forwards.
At
December 31, 2008, the Company had available foreign net operating loss
carry-forward of approximately $1,206,000, which may be applied against future
foreign taxable income, if any, during the maximum five years carry-forward
period through the year of 2013. The utilization of the foreign tax loss
carry-forwards are subject to the tax regulations of China, which, among other
things, may require approval by the regulation agency of the
utilization.
At
December 31, 2008, the Company has deferred tax assets of approximately $800,000
representing the benefit of its federal, state and foreign net operating loss
carry-forwards. The Company has not recognized the tax benefit because
realization of the tax benefit is uncertain and thus a valuation allowance has
been fully provided against the deferred tax asset. The difference between the
Federal Statutory Rate of 34% and the Company’s effective tax rate of 0% is due
to an increase in the valuation allowance of approximately $372,000 during
2008.
NOTE 15 -
Subsequent
Events
On
October 7, 2008, the Company entered into a letter of intent agreement with
Chongqing Aomei Advertising Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized
under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Aomei”), pursuant to which
the Company intends to acquire from Aomei certain assets, including,
intellectual property rights, advertising rights and client groups, in
consideration for the issuance of a certain number of shares of the Company’s
common stock to be mutually agreed upon after the Company has completed its due
diligence investigation of Aomei and its assets. Due to the current market
conditions, the Company did not take further actions as of March 15,
2009.
The
Company is currently in default on the Convertible Notes and accrued interest,
which became due in full amount effective March 12, 2009. As of March 12, 2009,
the unpaid convertible notes payable balance is $1,770,750; unpaid accrued
interest is $309,522; and unpaid accrued penalty interest is $438,509. The
Company is currently negotiating with the Convertible Notes holders and or
investors to seek ways to resolve the default issue. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful with the negotiation with the
Convertible Notes holders.

and Procedures

EVALUATION
OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS
Our Chief
Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after evaluating the
effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined
in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) or
15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, has
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a
reasonable assurance level based on his evaluation of these controls and
procedures as required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or
15d-15.
MANAGEMENT’S
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of the Company is
responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
over financial reporting.
As defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the
supervision of, the Company’s principal executive, principal operating and
principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and
effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The
Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records, that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
Company’s assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The
Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and
Principal Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this
assessment, management used the framework in “Internal Control - Integrated
Framework” promulgated by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission, commonly referred to as the “COSO” criteria. Based on the
assessment performed, management believes that as of December 31, 2008, the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based upon the
COSO criteria. Additionally, based on management’s assessment, the Company
determined that there were no material weaknesses in its internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the
Company’s
registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that
permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual
report.
Changes
in Internal Controls
During
the year ended December 31, 2008, there was no change in internal control over
financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
The
Company’s management, including the chief executive officer and principal
financial officer, do not expect that its disclosure controls or internal
controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how
well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the
design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their
costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation
of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances
of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent
limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be
faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or
mistake.
Additionally,
controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by
collusion of two or more people or by management’s override of the control. The
design of any systems of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions
about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any
design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control
system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Individual persons perform multiple tasks which normally would be allocated to
separate persons and therefore extra diligence must be exercised during the
period these tasks are combined. Management is aware of the risks associated
with the lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the small number of
employees currently dealing with general administrative and
financial matters. Although management will periodically reevaluate this
situation, at this point it considers the risks associated with such lack of
segregation of duties and that the potential benefits of adding employees to
segregate such duties do not justify the substantial expense associated with
such increases. It is also recognized Pay88 has not designated an audit
committee and no member of the board of directors has been designated or
qualifies as a financial expert. The Company should address these concerns at
the earliest possible opportunity.

Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions
Through
December 31, 2008, we owed Guo Fan, our Chief Executive Officer, President,
Principal Financial Officer, Chairman and a Director, an aggregate of $324,725,
which was made pursuant to an oral agreement with the Company. Pursuant to the
oral agreements, the loans bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum and are
payable on demand.
On August
31, 2005, Guo Fan lent us $80,385, and in consideration for such loan, we issued
to Mr. Fan a promissory note. Said amount bears interest at the rate of 5% per
annum and principal and interest are due and payable on August 31, 2008. The
promissory note due to our Chief Executive Officer is past due. The management
is currently negotiating with the Mr. Guo Fan to extend the maturity date of
this note.
As of
December 31, 2008, Tao Fan, a director and our Chief Operating Officer, advanced
us funds in the amount of $19,957 pursuant to an oral agreement. The advances
bear interest at the rate of 6% and are payable on demand.
As of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, the accrued interest payable on the above mentioned
loans was $79,325 and $46,128, respectively.
On August
3, 2005, we entered into a five year agreement with Yahu. Mr. Tao Fan, a
director and our Chief Operating Officer, is the Chief Executive Officer of Yahu
and Mr. Tao Fan owns 5% of its issued shares of capital stock. The agreement
provides for two services to be provided to us by Yahu. Pursuant to such
agreement Yahu will provide all proprietary software needed to effectuate fund
transfers between the United States and China and the technical assistance in
the areas of installation and future product support. This support includes
assistance with all technical aspects of the software as well as problem
resolution and general inquiries. Yahu will provide both of these services to us
for a licensing fee that is based upon 20% of the gross fund transfer revenues.
The fee is payable on a quarterly basis. The use of the software will enable us
to provide wire transfers from the United States to China. We presently have no
intention to engage in the money transfer business. Nonetheless, we
may in the future resume our plans to develop the money transfer
business.
On
September 5, 2006, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Qianbao, Yahu
and Ying Bao. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, we agreed to acquire
Qianbao at a closing held simultaneously by purchasing from Yahu and Ying Bao
all of their respective shares of Qianbao's registered capital, which
represented 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Qianbao. In
consideration for all of Qianbao’s registered shares, we agreed to issue to
shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as follows: 4,950,000 shares
to Yahu and 50,000 shares to Ying Bao. Mr. Tao Fan, our Chief Operating Officer
and a brother of Mr. Guo Fan, a director and officer of Pay88, is the Chief
Executive Officer of Yahu and owns 5% of its issued shares of capital
stock.
On
October 4, 2007, we issued 14,000,000 shares of common stock upon conversion of
5,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that we issued to
Yahu and Ying Bao, the shareholders of Qianbao, as consideration for the
acquisition of that company. We were required to cause the conversion of our
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the Subscription Agreement we
entered into with 3 accredited investors on September 12, 2007. The issuance of
our common stock upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock was exempt
from registration pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Director
Independence
We are
not subject to the listing requirements of any national securities exchange or
national securities association and, as a result, we are not at this time
required to have our board comprised of a majority of “independent directors.”
We do believe that the following directors currently meet the definition of
“independent” as promulgated by the rules and regulations of the American Stock
Exchange: Shiqing Fu.
