SUBAYE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 AND 2009
 
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND ORGANIZATION

Subaye, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Subaye” or the “Company”) is a leading outsourced services provider in China offering on-line video marketing (the “Video Showcase Product”) and cloud computing solutions (the “Cloud Product”). Subaye's on-line video marketing network operates as follows:

Video Showcase Product

1.
Subaye salespersons conduct business development activities in their territory to secure video showcase business with small to medium sized businesses (“SMEs”) who have revenues of less than $1 million, are closely held enterprises, do not maintain their own websites and whose management does not regularly have the time or the necessary skills to develop a basic or comprehensive marketing plan, though business development is a primary concern of SMEs the Company works with.
   
2.
Subaye’s salespersons and videographers work with SMEs to develop a video showcase, or a short informercial, approximately 5 to 30 minutes in length. Multiple video showcases and revisions to previous video showcases are offered to paying SMEs.
   
3.
Subaye hosts the video showcase at www.subaye.com and places the video showcases at various other websites either controlled by Subaye or websites managed by business partners of Subaye. Paying SMEs are able to rotate the specific video showcase available at www.subaye.com, using Subaye’s online video management system.
   
4.
SMEs utilitize the video showcase as their primary sales tool by:
 
a.
Notifying potential customers of the link to their video showcase at www.subaye.com, allowing their potential customers to view and understand the products or services being offered to the potential customer.
     
b.
SMEs are also able to hire large out-sourced salesforces that are common in China, provide the sales people with minimal training, and then successfully rely on a downloaded copy of the SME’s video showcase, which is used by each salesperson during their business development activities, rather than fully relying on the salespersons to develop and provide a consistent face to face sales pitch regarding the customer’s business and products. The lack of time devoted to training salespeople is also important due to high turnover of employees the SMEs generally encounter.

Cloud Product

Subaye charges an additional fee for access to its cloud computing solutions, which include enhanced online tools for video management, content management and customer relationship management software, all of which are accessed through www.subaye.com. The Cloud Product was formerly referred to as the Company’s SaaS business solution in previous reporting periods.

Other Events

On March 16, 2010, the Company discontinued two of its operating segments, the trading services business segment and the entertainment media business segment. The Company disposed of the trading services business segment as of April 29, 2010 and is seeking buyers for the assets of the entertainment media business on an asset by asset basis.

On October 26, 2009, the Company changed its name to Subaye, Inc.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company and all its subsidiaries. This basis of accounting differs in certain material respects from that used for the preparation of the books and records of the Company’s principal subsidiaries, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises with limited liabilities established in China the accounting standards used in the place of their domicile.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in the books and records of the Company’s subsidiaries to present them in conformity with GAAP.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for a complete financial presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.  Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.  The Company’s accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009 as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on December 29, 2009. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the sole source of GAAP as of September 15, 2009. References to the ASC are made throughout this Form 10-Q and refer to specific sections of the ASC in relation to the topics referenced within this Form 10-Q.

Adoption of ASC 810-10-65, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB 51 (“ASC 810-10-65”)

The adoption of ASC 810-10-65 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, or as of March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively. However, as a result of the retrospective presentation and disclosure requirements of ASC 810-10-65, the adoption of ASC 810-10-65 did affect the presentation and disclosure of noncontrolling interests and basic and diluted earnings per common share in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 and as of September 30, 2009, respectively.

ASC 810-10-65 establishes new standards that govern the accounting for and reporting of (1) noncontrolling interest in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and (2) the loss of control of subsidiaries. Significant changes to the accounting for noncontrolling interests include (a) the inclusion of noncontrolling interests in the equity section of the controlling entity’s condensed consolidated balance sheet rather than in the mezzanine section and (b) the requirement that changes in the controlling entity’s interest in the noncontrolling interest, without a change in control, be recognized in the controlling entity’s equity rather than being accounted for by the purchase method, which accounting under the purchase method would have given rise to goodwill.

The Company has owned a majority interest of its subsidiary, Subaye.com, Inc., since June 2006. The principal effect of the adoption of ASC 810-10-65 on the September 30, 2009 condensed consolidated balance sheet was to reclassify the noncontrolling interest of $10,180 thousand from the mezzanine section of the balance sheet to stockholders’ equity attributable to noncontrolling interest, thus increasing the total of the condensed consolidated stockholders’ equity by that amount, as follows:

   
September 30,
2009
 
   
(Dollars in Thousands)
 
       
 
Equity, as Previously Reported
 
$
40,709
 
         
Increase for ASC 810-10-65  Reclassification of Non-Controlling Interest
   
10,180
 
         
Equity, as Adjusted
 
$
50,889
 
       
Additionally, the adoption of ASC 810-10-65 requires that net income, as previously reported prior to the adoption of ASC 810-10-65, be adjusted to include the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest, and that a new separate caption for net income attributable to common shareholders be presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Thus, after the adoption of ASC 810-10-65, condensed consolidated net income increased (decreased) by $59 thousand and $(137) thousand for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, respectively.

ASC 810-10-65 also requires similar disclosure regarding comprehensive income. Therefore, after the adoption of ASC 810-10-65 condensed consolidated comprehensive income decreased by $1 and $7 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Video Showcase Subscription Revenues
 
Revenue is generated by Subaye on a monthly subscription model basis through its Video Showcase Product. Customers are charged a monthly subscription fee of approximately $117 beginning on the date the customer’s video showcase is available for viewing online. Subscription revenues are recognized on a pro-rata basis, calculated on a day-to-day basis and invoiced at the end of each month in accordance under the relevant sections of the ASC, namely ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 605”). The Company does not currently charge for the production of the video showcase and does not charge a cancellation fee or penalty if and when a customer decides to terminate the subscription.

Cloud  Subscription Revenues

Revenue is generated by Subaye on a monthly subscription model basis through the sale of its Cloud Product. Customers are charged a monthly subscription fee of $100 beginning on the date the customer first has access to Subaye’s online services network or through specific individually negotiated contracts, all of which have to date have been in the form of a monthly subscription model with fees of $100 per customer. Subaye’s proprietary cloud computing product includes various software modules including content management, customer relationship management and video management solutions. The software is not downloadable and is not capable of being installed and run on a customer’s own computer network.

Costs of Sales

Subaye entered into agreements with two sales and customer relationship agents (the “Agents”) on October 2, 2009 and an additional four Agents on January 4, 2010. The Agents are responsible for sales territories in Guandong Province, Fujian Province, Guangxi Province, Jiangxi Province and Hong Kong. The Agents have two tasks: (i) to develop business for Subaye, by offering the Video Showcase Product or the Cloud Product and support the production of each customer’s video showcase and/or the implementation of the customer’s online services associated with the Cloud Product, and (ii) to manage the customer relationship and collect the monthly subscription fees, which are currently paid in cash, from each customer. Collecting these cash receipts, tracking which of the Company’s many customers have paid and which have not, and remitting the cash to the Company, is a time intensive project each month. Subaye.com has never experienced collection issues and does not expect any collection issues to occur in the future. These six Agents were compensated with a total of 560,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $5,800 thousand. Each agreement is for a term of between two and three years. The Company amortizes the compensation provided to these Agents over each contract term and records approximately 90% of the stock compensation expense associated with these Agents as costs of sales. The remainder of the stock compensation expense is included in operating expenses.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs incurred for its own online, print and outdoor advertising expenses as the costs are incurred in accordance with ASC 720-35 Advertising Costs.

Website Development Costs

The Company does not develop its own websites. The Company owns several websites and related assets, all of which have been purchased from professional website developers and web infrastructure developers, all of whom are third party unaffiliated entities.

Reclassifications

Operating Leases

In the normal course of business, the Company leases office space under operating lease agreements. The Company rents office space, primarily for regional sales administration offices, in commercial office complexes that are conducive to administrative operations. The operating lease agreements generally contain renewal options that may be exercised at the Company's discretion after the completion of the base rental terms. In addition, many of the rental agreements provide for regular increases to the base rental rate at specified intervals, which usually occur on an annual basis.

On July 1, 2008, the Company entered into a lease for new office space in Foshan City, Guangdong, China for approximately $5 thousand per month through June 30, 2011.

On February 1, 2009, the Company entered into a lease agreement to utilize approximately 22,000 square feet of office space at 349 Dabei Road, Shiqiao Street, Panyu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong, China 511400 for approximately $9 thousand per month through January 31, 2011.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Ltd., the Company’s wholly-owned PRC subsidiary (“Panyu”), to Superb in exchange for $600 thousand in cash.  Panyu has been disclosed previously as the Company’s trade services business segment and holds the necessary licenses to conduct international and domestic trading and provide logistics services to customers.

NOTE 13 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended revenue recognition guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new guidance eliminates the residual method of revenue recognition and allows the use of management’s best estimate of selling price for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE), vendor objective evidence (VOE) or third-party evidence (TPE) is unavailable. For the company, this guidance is effective for all new or materially modified arrangements entered into on or after October 1, 2011 with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. Full retrospective application of the new guidance is optional. The Company is currently assessing its implementation of this new guidance, but does not expect a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
14


In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance which amends the scope of existing software revenue recognition accounting. Tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality would be scoped out of the accounting guidance on software and accounted for based on other appropriate revenue recognition guidance.  For the Company, this guidance is effective for all new or materially modified arrangements entered into on or after October 1, 2011 with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. Full retrospective application of the new guidance is optional. This guidance must be adopted in the same period that the company adopts the amended accounting for arrangements with multiple deliverables described in the preceding paragraph. The Company is currently assessing its implementation of this new guidance, but does not expect a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

On October 1, 2009, the Company adopted the revised FASB guidance regarding business combinations which was required to be applied to business combinations on a prospective basis. The revised guidance requires that the acquisition method of accounting be applied to a broader set of business combinations, amends the definition of a business combination, provides a definition of a business, requires an acquirer to recognize an acquired business at its fair value at the acquisition date and requires the assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination to be measured and recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date (with limited exceptions). There was no impact upon adoption and the effects of this guidance will depend on the nature and significance of business combinations occurring after the effective date.

In August 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the measurement of liabilities at fair value. The guidance provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted market price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, an entity is required to measure fair value using a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset or, if unavailable, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar assets when traded as assets. If none of this information is available, an entity should use a valuation technique in accordance with existing fair valuation principles. The Company adopted this guidance in the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and there was no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting rules for variable interest entities (VIEs) and for transfers of financial assets. The new guidance for VIEs eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and requires ongoing qualitative reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary. In addition, qualifying special purpose entities (QSPEs) are no longer exempt from consolidation under the amended guidance. The amendments also limit the circumstances in which a financial asset, or a portion of a financial asset, should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire original financial asset to an entity that is not consolidated with the transferor in the financial statements being presented, and/or when the transferor has continuing involvement with the transferred financial asset. The Company will adopt these amendments for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on October 1, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of these amendments to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidelines on subsequent event accounting which sets forth: 1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; 2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and 3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. These guidelines were effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and the Company adopted them in the quarter ended June 30, 2009. There was no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional requirements regarding interim disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments which were previously only disclosed on an annual basis. Entities are now required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments which are not recorded at fair value in the financial statements in both their interim and annual financial statements. The new requirements were effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 on a prospective basis. The Company adopted these requirements in the quarter ended June 30, 2009. There was no impact on the consolidated financial results as this relates only to additional disclosures.

In April 2008, the FASB issued new requirements regarding the determination of the useful lives of intangible assets. In developing assumptions about renewal or extension options used to determine the useful life of an intangible asset, an entity needs to consider its own historical experience adjusted for entity-specific factors. In the absence of that experience, an entity shall consider the assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension options. The new requirements apply to intangible assets acquired after October 1, 2009. The adoption of these new rules did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance on noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This guidance requires that the noncontrolling interest in the equity of a subsidiary be accounted for and reported as equity, provides revised guidance on the treatment of net income and losses attributable to the noncontrolling interest and changes in ownership interests in a subsidiary and requires additional disclosures that identify and distinguish between the interests of the controlling and noncontrolling owners. Pursuant to the transition provisions, the Company adopted this new guidance on October 1, 2009 via retrospective application of the presentation and disclosure requirements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued new disclosure requirements regarding derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities must now provide enhanced disclosures on an interim and annual basis regarding how and why the entity uses derivatives; how derivatives and related hedged items are accounted for, and how derivatives and related hedged items affect the entity’s financial position, financial results and cash flow. Pursuant to the transition provisions, the Company adopted these new requirements on October 1, 2009. These new requirements do not impact the consolidated financial results as they are disclosure-only in nature.

The FASB guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures became effective January 1, 2008. However, in February 2008, the FASB delayed the effective date regarding fair value measurements and disclosures of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), to October 1, 2009. The adoption of these provisions related to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on October 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued guidance in determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities. The guidance became effective on October 1, 2009 via retrospective application. According to the new guidance, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share (EPS) pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. The adoption of these provisions is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is designed to provide information that is supplemental to, and should be read together with, the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in this Quarterly Report. Information in this Item 2 is intended to assist the reader in obtaining an understanding of the consolidated financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, the primary factors that accounted for those changes, and any known trends or uncertainties that the Company is aware of that may have a material effect on the Company’s future performance, as well as how certain accounting principles affect the consolidated financial statements. MD&A includes the following sections:
 
•  Highlights and Executive Summary
•  Results of Operations—an analysis of the Company’s consolidated results of operations, for the two years presented in the consolidated financial statements
•  Liquidity and Capital Resources—an analysis of the effect of the Company’s operating, financing and investing activities on the Company’s liquidity and capital resources
•  Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements—a discussion of such commitments and arrangements
 
•  Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—a discussion of accounting policies that require significant judgments and estimates
 
•  New Accounting Pronouncements—a summary and discussion of the Company’s plans for the adoption of relevant new accounting standards relevant
 
           The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s plans, estimates and beliefs. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report particularly in "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," "Market Data" and "Risk Factors."

As a result of the tax exempt status of the Company’s continuing operations, no income tax expense was recorded in the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. However, the tax exemption expired as of September 30, 2009. Therefore an income tax expense is recorded for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010. By subtracting an estimated income tax expense from net income from continuing operations for each period in which a tax exemption was applicable during 2009, the Company believes the results of operations for each period presented are more comparable.  The tables below provide the adjusted net income from continuing operations per basic common share on a comparable basis, by adding in the effect of the applicable income taxes had they been charged to the Company during the three and six months ended March 31, 2009.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that will have a current or future effect on our financial condition and changes in financial condition during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010.

Protection of Intellectual Property

As of March 31, 2010, the Company held approximately $15,413 thousand in copyrights covering programming rights for movies, internet broadcasts, DVDs and television programming originally created in the PRC. These assets are included within the Company’s balance sheets as Assets Held for Sale. We cannot guarantee that if a competitor or anyone else were to commence litigation against us, we would be able to adequately defend our position and retain ownership and value in the intellectual property.

Capital Requirements

In the past several years, the Company has raised cash by issuing equity securities. Although management is attempting to raise capital through the sale of the assets of its discontinued businesses, management may determine that additional financing is necessary, and the Company may or may not be able to find adequate sources of financing in the future.

Trends, Events, and Uncertainties

The present demand for our products will be dependent on, among other things, market acceptance of the Company’s concept, the quality of its products, and general economic conditions which are cyclical in nature. The Company’s business operations may be adversely affected by increased competition and any slowdown in the economic expansion currently underway in the PRC.

Dividends

We do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.  As a result, you could lose your entire investment in the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 
The discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and the related disclosures. The assumptions, estimates and judgments included within these estimates are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors we believe to be relevant at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. On a regular basis, the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments are reviewed to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from the assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to: (1)  asset impairments and (2) depreciable lives of assets. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty, and accordingly, accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. We evaluate and update these assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist with these evaluations. Actual results could differ from the estimates that have been used.

 
Significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, as they require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, and to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets
       
The carrying amounts of long-lived assets are reviewed periodically in order to assess whether the recoverable amounts have declined below the carrying amounts.
 
These assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their recorded carrying amounts may not be recoverable. When such a decline has occurred, the carrying amount is reduced to recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use.  It is difficult to precisely estimate selling price because quoted market prices for the Company’s assets or cash-generating units are not readily available. In determining the value in use, expected cash flows generated by the asset or the cash-generating unit are discounted to their present value, which requires significant judgment relating to level of sales volume, selling price and amount of operating costs. The Company uses all readily available information in determining an amount that is a reasonable approximation of recoverable amount, including estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections of sales volume, selling price and amount of operating costs.
 
Estimates contemplated by the Company with regard to the recoverability of carrying amounts for its long lived assets may prove to be inaccurate, in which case property, plant and equipment may be understated or overstated. In the future, if property, plant and equipment are determined to be overvalued, the Company would be required to recognize such costs in operating expenses at the time of such determination. Likewise, if property, plant and equipment are determined to be undervalued, operating expenses may have been over-reported in previous periods and the Company would be required to recognize such additional operating income at the time of sale.

ITEM 4  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the six months March 31, 2010, Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of March 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.

In light of the material weaknesses described below, we performed additional analysis and other procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 5) or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified three material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of March 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, including (i) the number of audit adjustments recorded for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, (ii) a lack of segregation of duties, and (iii) weaknesses related to document control.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

To remediate the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures identified above, we are developing a plan to ensure that all information will be recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately, and as of the date of this report, we have taken the following steps to address the above-referenced material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:

 
1.
We will continue to educate our management personnel to comply with the disclosure requirements of Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Regulation S-K; and
     
 
2.
We will increase management oversight of accounting and reporting functions in the future.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

No changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting have come to management's attention during the Company's last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We may be involved in litigation, negotiation and settlement matters that may occur in our day-to-day operations. Management does not believe the implication of this type of litigation will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K for the period ended September 30, 2009. An investment in our common stock involves various risks. When considering an investment in our common stock, you should consider carefully all of the Risk Factors described in our most recent Form 10-K. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing us and there may be additional matters that we are unaware of or that we currently consider immaterial. All of these could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and, thus, the value of an investment in our Company.

However, we wish to emphasize that upon the Companys decision to discontinue its entertainment media business segment, the Company was left with $15,413 thousand of intellectual property, namely copyrights to PRC entertainment assets.  The Company is attempting to sell these assets and has been successful selling similar assets in the past. However, the Company can not be certain that it will be able to sell these assets for the full current carrying value of the assets or that any transaction whereby credit is offered to potential purchasers of the assets will be free from default risk. These may be considered to be additional risks that we have undertaken that could negatively impact the Company and the shareholders of the Company, respectively.
