RISK FACTORS

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

Although our Chinese subsidiary has been in operation for several years, Wonder was incorporated on April 17, 2008 and has a limited operating history.

 

·         There is no way to evaluate the likelihood of whether we will be able to operate our proposed business successfully.

 

·         If our business fails to develop in the manner we have anticipated, you will lose your investment in the shares.

 

·         If our business develops, management may be unable to effectively or efficiently operate our business unless we are able to employ sufficient and trained professional personnel to assist us in the operation of our business, in which event you will lose your investment in the shares.

 

The Chinese market for educational services is still emerging and evolving rapidly. If market acceptance of our products and services declines or fails to grow, our revenue growth may slow or we may experience a decrease in revenues.

 

          As the Chinese market for educational services is still emerging, our success will depend to a large extent on our ability to convince our clients that our technologies and services are valuable and that it is more cost-effective for them to utilize our services than for them to develop similar services in-house. We must address the following concerns with our clients as they decide to implement computer-based testing and career-oriented educational services and to use our technologies and services:

 

 

 

 

 

concern over the commitment of time, personnel and funding necessary to implement our computer-based testing services and career-oriented educational services;

 

 

 

 

ability of clients to develop their own computer-based testing services or career-oriented educational services;

 

 

 

 

possible perceived security and academic integrity risks associated with computer-based testing services and third-party curriculum providers;

 

 

 

 

reluctance of the academic community to adopt computer-based learning materials and computer-based tests; and

 

 

 

 

reluctance of educational institutions to depend on third-party providers of curricula and academic certifications.

 

6

 


 

          A decline in the demand for computer-based testing and education services by test sponsors or educational institutions would negatively affect demand for our computer-based testing services and technologies, as well as our degree major and course programs, which incorporate computer-based tests. Even if test sponsors and educational institutions continue to show demand for computer-based testing services and career-oriented educational services, this demand may not grow as quickly as we anticipate.

 

          If demand for educational services does not grow to the extent we anticipate, our revenue growth may slow or we may experience a decrease in revenues.

 

If we need to raise additional funds, the funds may not be available when we need them.  We may be required to provide rights senior to the rights of our shareholders in order to attract additional funds and if we use equity securities to raise additional funds dilution to our shareholders will occur.

 

·         To the extent that we require additional funds, we cannot assure you that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms or at all, and if the funds are not available when we need them, we may be forced to terminate our business.

 

·         If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced; and those equity securities issued to raise additional funds may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of the holders of our common stock.

 

Compliance with rules and requirements applicable to public companies may cause us to incur increased costs, and any failure by us to comply with such rules and requirements could negatively affect investor confidence in us and cause the market price of our ADSs to decline.

 

          As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq, have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs and to make certain corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. Complying with these rules and requirements may be especially difficult and costly for us because we may have difficulty locating sufficient personnel in China with experience and expertise relating to U.S. GAAP and U.S. public-company reporting requirements, and such personnel may command high salaries relative to what similarly experienced personnel would command in the United States. If we cannot employ sufficient personnel to ensure compliance with these rules and regulations, we may need to rely more on outside legal, accounting and financial experts, which may be very costly. In addition, we will incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

 

Some of our competition will be from larger, more established and better financed companies, and if we are unable to successfully compete with other companies our business will fail

 

7

 


 

·         If we are able to implement our business operations, some of our competitors will have greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do.

 

·         If we are unable to overcome some of the competitive disadvantages, we will be forced to cease our business operations.

 

 

Market factors are out of our control.  As a result, we may not be able to market any of our educational products which may be developed. 

 

·         The education industry, in general, is intensively competitive, and we are unable to provide any assurance that a ready market will exist of the sale of our products. 

 

·         Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any products developed.  The factors include market fluctuations, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices and taxes.

 

·         The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the impact or any one or a combination thereof may result in our inability to generate any revenue, in which event you will lose your entire investment in the shares.

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

We are not listed or quoted on any exchange and we may never obtain such a listing or quotation.

 

·         There may never be a market for stock and stock held by our shareholders may have little or no value.  There is presently no public market in our shares. While we intend to contact a market maker for sponsorship of our securities, we cannot guarantee that such sponsorship will be approved and our stock listed and quoted for sale. Even if our shares are quoted for sale, buyers may be insufficient in numbers to allow for a robust market, it may prove impossible to sell your shares.

 

·         Even if we obtain a listing on an exchange and a market for our shares develops, sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock into the public market by certain stockholders may result in significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock and could affect your ability to realize the current trading price of our common stock.

 

Our shareholders positions may be diluted through the issuance of additional shares..

 

·         Currently, we have issued a total of 20,000,000 shares of common stock. Additional issuances of equity securities may result in dilution to our existing stockholders. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

Our common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the SEC.

 

·         Our common stock is 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.

 

·         Because our stock may not be traded on a stock exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market or the NASDAQ Small Cap Market and because the market price of the common stock may be less than $5.00 per share, the common stock is classified as a "penny 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:

 

8

 


 

·         That a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and

 

·         The broker or dealer receives 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 prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which:

 

Sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and;

 

  The broker or dealer has 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 stock 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.

 

A decline in the future price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.

 

Even if we are able to successfully list our stock for trading on the Nasdaq, AMEX or OTC Bulletin Board, we can have no assurances that a market will ever develop and if a market does develop we will have no control over the market price of our common stock. Any market price that does develop is likely to be highly volatile. Factors, including regulatory matters, concerns about our financial condition, operating results, litigation, government regulation, developments or disputes relating to current or future agreements or title to our claims may have a significant impact on the market price of our stock, causing the market price to decline. In addition, potential dilutive effects of future sales of shares of common stock by shareholders and by us could also have an adverse effect on the price of our securities.  Such a decline would seriously hinder our ability to raise additional capital and prevent us from fully implementing our business plan and operations.

 

Our directors and officers reside outside the United States

 

Most of our directors and officers reside outside the United States, with the result that it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or any of our directors or officers.

 

98% of our shares of Common Stock are controlled by Principal Stockholders and Management.

 

100% of our Common Stock is controlled by 1,605 stockholders of record. This figure includes stock controlled by our Chairman, Mr. Chungui Xie, who is the beneficial owners of about 83% of our Common Stock. Such ownership by the Company's principal shareholder, executive officer and director may have the effect of delaying, deferring, preventing or facilitating a sale of the Company or a business combination with a third party.

9

 


 

 

Even taking into account the limitations of Rule 144, the future sales of restricted shares could have a depressive effect on the market price of the Company’s securities in any market, which may develop.

 

The 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock presently issued and outstanding, as of the date hereof, are “restricted securities” as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and in the future may be sold in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, or pursuant to a Registration Statement filed under the Securities Act. Rule 144 provides, in essence, that a person, who has not been an affiliate of the issuer for the past 90 days and has held restricted securities for six months of an issuer that has been reporting for a period of at least 90 days, may sell those securities so long as the Company is current in its reporting obligations.  After one year, non-affiliates are permitted to sell their restricted securities freely without being subject to any other Rule 144 condition.  Sales of restricted shares by our affiliates who have held the shares for six months are limited to an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Company’s outstanding Common stock that may be sold in any three-month period. After the shares registered herein are freely traded, unregistered holders of the restricted shares may each sell approximately 200,000 shares during any ninety-day (90 day) period after the registration statement becomes effective. Additionally, Rule 144 requires that an issuer of securities make available adequate current public information with respect to the issuer. Such information is deemed available if the issuer satisfies the reporting requirements of sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Securities Exchange Act”) or of Rule 15c2-11 there under.  There is no limitation on such sales and there is no requirement regarding adequate current public information. Sales under Rule 144 or pursuant to a Registration Statement filed under the Act, may have a depressive effect on the market price of our securities in any market, which may develop for such shares.

 

If shareholders sell a large number of shares all at once or in blocks, the value of our shares would most likely decline.

 

The Company has 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 31, 2009, 4,767,612 of which will become freely tradable. The availability for sale of a large amount of shares may depress the market price for our Common Stock and impair our ability to raise additional capital through the public sale of Common Stock. The Company has no arrangement with any of the holders of our shares to address the possible effect on the price of the Company's Common Stock of the sale by them of their shares.

 

Risks Relating to Regulation of Our Business

 

 

 

Changes to Chinese government regulation of, or policies relating to, tuition fees may have a material and adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

         We receive license fees for our educational services on a per-student basis. If the tuition fees chargeable by our educational institution clients were to decline, we may have difficulty maintaining or raising the per-student fees we charge for our educational services. As tuition fees are heavily regulated in China, any change in policy lowering or eliminating tuition fees chargeable by vocational schools or other educational institutions may have a negative impact on our pricing power and revenues generated from the license of our educational services. Currently, the Chinese government does not regulate our tuition fees since we provide non-degreed vocational programs. The Chinese government has tightened controls on tuition and other fees collected by certain types of educational institutions in China. While this has not had a noticeable impact on tuition fees chargeable for courses taught using our educational services, in the future there may be changes to Chinese policies and regulations regarding tuition fees that will have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.

 

 

 

Changes to preferential policies adopted by the Chinese government related to vocational education may negatively affect our business and results of operations.

 

          The Chinese government has adopted preferential policies for the development of vocational schools in China, including “The Decision to Enhance the Promotion of the Reform and Development of Vocational Education” and “The Decision to Enhance the Development of Vocational Education” published by the State Council in September 2002 and October 2005, respectively. These decisions require all levels of government in China to intensify their support for vocational education and to gradually increase the financial resources that local and provincial governments allocate to vocational education. We believe that these governmental policies have encouraged clients to purchase our services and increased the funding available for purchasing our course programs. If these preferential policies were to be reduced or eliminated, it may negatively affect our business and results of operations.

10

 


 

 

Our corporate structure is subject to legal risks that could limit our ability to do business.

 

PRC regulations limit the foreign ownership of companies that provide educational services. Under such regulations, primary and secondary schools cannot have foreign ownership, while post-secondary and higher educational institutions may have foreign ownership (see “Regulation”). In addition, the establishment of a Sino-foreign joint venture educational institution requires approvals from the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Commerce. As a result, the Management Company owns and controls the educational institutions we operate in China.

 

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws and regulations, including regulations governing the validity and enforcement of these contractual arrangements. If the PRC government finds that our contractual arrangements with our subsidiaries do not comply with its restrictions, then the relevant regulatory authorities will have broad discretion to:

 

 

 

require us to restructure our ownership structure or operations;

 

 

 

impose conditions or requirements with which we may not be able to comply;

 

 

 

restrict how we finance our business and operations in China, including how we apply the proceeds from this offering;

 

 

 

revoke the business and operating licenses; and

 

 

 

take other regulatory or enforcement actions, including levying fines.

 

Our corporate structure may not be as beneficial to our shareholders as direct ownership, and we have limited recourse against our subsidiaries if anyone of them violates our contractual arrangements.

 

This corporate structure may not be as beneficial to our shareholders as direct ownership, and we have limited recourse against our China subsidiaries if anyone of them violates these contractual arrangements. For example, they could refuse to operate the educational institutions in our group in an acceptable manner or pay the service fees due under our contractual arrangements. Because our contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through either arbitration or litigation in China, if a subsidiary fails to perform its obligations under our contractual arrangements, we may have to rely on remedies under PRC law, including seeking specific performance and claiming damages. In addition, generally the PRC has substantially less experience related to the enforcement of contractual rights through its judiciary or the arbitration process as compared to the United States or the Cayman Islands. This inexperience presents the risk that the judiciary or arbitrators in the PRC may be reluctant to enforce contractual rights, interpret these rights and remedies differently than what was intended by the parties to the agreements, or find that such contractual agreements do not comply with restrictions in current PRC laws. A PRC court may also set aside an arbitration award by reason of any defect the court considers to be present in the arbitration proceeding, remedies at law may not be adequate and a PRC court may not order specific performance. Additionally, contract interpretation and enforcement is not as developed as that in the United States and a contract dispute could be subject to uncertainties. In addition, any legal proceeding may result in substantial costs, disruptions to our business, damage to our reputation and diversion of our resources.

 

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

 

11

 


 

PRC economic, political and social conditions, as well as changes in any government policies, laws and regulations, could adversely affect the overall economy in China or the prospects of the education market, which in turn could adversely affect our business.

 

Substantially all of our operations are conducted in China, and substantially all of our revenues are derived from China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and certain transactions we may undertake are subject, to a significant extent, to economic, political and legal developments in China.

 

The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past two to three decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. Demand for our products and services depend, in large part, on economic conditions in China. Any slowdown in China’s economic growth may cause our potential customers to delay or cancel their plans to participate in our educational services, which in turn could reduce our net revenues.

Although the PRC economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy since the late 1970s, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The PRC government also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling the incurrence and payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Changes in any of these policies, laws and regulations could adversely affect the overall economy in China or the prospects of the education market, which could harm our business.

 

The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage foreign investment and sustainable economic growth and to guide the allocation of financial and other resources, which have for the most part had a positive effect on our business and growth. However, we cannot assure you that the PRC government will not repeal or alter these measures or introduce new measures that will have a negative effect on us.

 

China’s social and political conditions are also not as stable as those of the United States and other developed countries. Any sudden changes to China’s political system or the occurrence of widespread social unrest could have negative effects on our business and results of operations. In addition, China has tumultuous relations with some of its neighbors and a significant further deterioration in such relations could have negative effects on the PRC economy and lead to changes in governmental policies that would be adverse to our business interests.

 

The PRC legal system embodies uncertainties that could limit the legal protections available to you and us.

 

Unlike common law systems, the PRC legal system is based on written statutes and decided legal cases have little precedential value. In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation since then has been to significantly enhance the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in China. Our PRC operating subsidiaries are subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China in general and laws and regulations applicable to foreign invested enterprises in particular. Our PRC subsidiaries are subject to laws and regulations governing the formation and conduct of domestic PRC companies. Relevant PRC laws, regulations and legal requirements may change frequently, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. For example, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce the legal protection that we enjoy either by law or contract. However, since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy than under more developed legal systems. Such uncertainties, including the inability to enforce our contracts and intellectual property rights, could materially and adversely affect our business and operations. In addition, confidentiality protections in China may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the PRC legal system, particularly with respect to the privatization of the education industry, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us and other foreign investors, including you.

The education sector is subject to extensive regulation in China, and the educational institutions’ ability to conduct operation is highly dependent on their compliance with these regulatory frameworks. We may not possess or update all the licenses required to operate our business, or may fail to maintain the licenses we currently hold. This could subject us to fines and other penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

We are a vocational school and are not subject to the same regulations and restrictions as imposed on the regular accredited schools in China. However, the Chinese government regulates all aspects of the education sector, including licensing of parties to perform various services, pricing of tuition and other fees, curriculum content, recruitment quota, standards for the operations of schools with private or foreign participation.

 

We are required to hold a variety of permits, licenses and certificates to conduct our business in China. We may not possess or update all the permits, licenses and certificates required for our business and may have to apply for permits, licenses and certificates in addition to the currently secured ones from time to time. In addition, there may be circumstances under which the approvals, permits, licenses or certificates granted by the governmental agencies are subject to change without substantial advance notice, and it is possible that we could fail to obtain the approvals, permits, licenses or certificates that are required to expand our business as we intend. If we fail to obtain or to maintain such permits, licenses or certificates or renewals are granted with onerous conditions, we could be subject to fines and other penalties and be limited in the number or the quality of the products or services that we would be able to offer. As a result, our business, result of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

 

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China based on United States or other foreign laws against us, our management or the experts named in the prospectus.

 

We conduct substantially all of our operations in China and substantially all of our assets are located in China. In addition, all of our senior executive officers reside within China. As a result, it may not be possible to affect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon our senior executive officers, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws. Moreover, our PRC counsel has advised us that the PRC does not have treaties with the United States or many other countries providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of court judgments.

 

Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.

 

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from our PRC subsidiary Tianjin Frank, which in turn, derives its revenues from management fees from the Management Company. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiary and affiliate to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC 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 the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also 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, including holders of our ordinary shares.

 

PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident shareholders to personal liability and limit our ability to inject capital into our PRC subsidiary, limit our PRC subsidiary’s ability to distribute profits to us, or otherwise adversely affect us.

13

 


 

 

SAFE issued a public notice in October 2005 requiring PRC residents to register with the local SAFE branch before establishing or controlling any company outside of China for the purpose of capital financing with assets or equities of PRC companies, referred to in the notice as an “offshore special purpose company.” PRC residents that are shareholders and/or beneficial owners of offshore special purpose companies established before November 1, 2005 are required to register with the local SAFE branch before March 31, 2006. In addition, any PRC resident that is the shareholder of an offshore special purpose company is required to file, update and modify his or her SAFE registration with the SAFE or its competent local branch, with respect to that offshore special purpose company in connection with any of its increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, merger, split, equity investment or creation of any security interest over any assets located in China. The SAFE regulations require retroactive approval and registration of direct or indirect investments previously made by PRC residents in offshore special purpose companies. To further clarify the implementation of Circular 75, SAFE issued Circular 106 in May, 2007. Under Circular 106, PRC subsidiaries of an offshore special purpose company are required to coordinate and supervise the filing of SAFE registrations by the offshore holding company’s shareholders who are PRC residents in a timely manner. There still remain uncertainties as to how certain procedures and requirements under the aforesaid SAFE regulations will be enforced in our case, and it remains unclear how these existing regulations, and any future legislation concerning offshore or cross-border transactions, will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant government authorities. We have requested our current shareholders and/or beneficial owners to disclose whether they or their shareholders or beneficial owners fall within the ambit of the SAFE notice and urge those who are PRC residents to register with the local SAFE branch as required under the SAFE notice. The failure of these shareholders and/or beneficial owners to timely amend their SAFE registrations pursuant to the SAFE notice or the failure of future shareholders and/or beneficial owners of our company who are PRC residents to comply with the registration procedures set forth in the SAFE notice may subject such shareholders and/or beneficial owners to fines and legal sanctions and may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital into our PRC subsidiary, limit our PRC subsidiary’s ability to distribute dividends to our company or otherwise adversely affect our business.

 

If the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, or another PRC regulatory agency determines that its approval is required in connection with this offering, this offering may be delayed or cancelled, or we may become subject to penalties.

 

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, promulgated the Regulation on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rule, which became effective on September 8, 2006. On June 22, 2009, the MOFCOM promulgated the amended Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (the “Order 6”, together with M&A rule, the “New M&A Rules”), which became effective immediately. The M&A Rule, among other things, has certain provisions that require offshore special purpose vehicles, or SPVs, new formed for the purpose of acquiring PRC domestic companies and controlled by PRC companies or individuals, to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange. On September 21, 2006, pursuant to the New M&A Rules and other PRC Laws and regulations, the CSRC, in its official website, promulgated relevant guidance with respect to the issues of listing and trading of domestic enterprises’ securities on overseas stock exchanges, including a list of application materials with respect to the listing on overseas stock exchanges by SPVs. If the CSRC or another PRC regulatory agency subsequently determines that its approval is required for this offering, we may face sanctions by the CSRC or another PRC regulatory agency. If this happens, these regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in the PRC, limit our operating privileges in the PRC, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into the PRC, restrict or prohibit payment or remittance of dividends by our PRC subsidiary to us or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our ordinary shares. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to delay or cancel this offering before settlement and delivery of the ordinary shares being offered by us.

 

The M&A Rule establishes more complex procedures for some acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in China.

 

The M&A Rule establishes additional procedures and requirements that could make some acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities, such as ours, more time-consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that the Ministry of Commerce be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign entity takes control of a PRC domestic enterprise. In the future, we may grow our business in part by acquiring complementary businesses. Complying with the requirements of the M&A Rule to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the Ministry of Commerce, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.

PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds we expect to receive from this offering to make loans to our PRC subsidiary and PRC affiliated entity or to make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

 

We are an offshore holding company conducting our operations in China through our PRC subsidiaries. In utilizing the proceeds we expect to receive from this offering for the purposes described in “Reasons for Offer and Use of Proceeds,” we plan to make loans to our PRC subsidiary, whether currently in existence or to be formed in the future, and to the Management Company or other PRC affiliated entities formed in the future, or make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary.

 

Any loans we make to our PRC subsidiary cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, or its local counterparts. Under applicable PRC law, the government authorities must approve a foreign-invested enterprise’s registered capital amount, which represents the total amount of capital contributions made by the shareholders that have registered with the registration authorities. In addition, the authorities must also approve the foreign-invested enterprise’s total investment, which represents the total statutory capitalization of the company, equal to the company’s registered capital plus the amount of loans it is permitted to borrow under the law. The ratio of registered capital to total investment cannot be lower than the minimum statutory requirement and the excess of the total investment over the registered capital represents the maximum amount of borrowings that a foreign invested enterprise is permitted to have under PRC law. We expect that the net proceeds we will receive from this offering will exceed the maximum amount of foreign debt our PRC subsidiary is permitted to incur. If we were to advance some net proceeds to our PRC subsidiary in the form of loans, we would have to apply to the relevant government authorities for an increase in their permitted total investment amounts. The various applications could be time-consuming and their outcomes may be uncertain. Concurrently with the loans, we might have to make capital contributions to these subsidiaries to maintain the statutory minimum registered capital and total investment ratio, and such capital contributions involve uncertainties of their own, as discussed below. Furthermore, even if we make loans to our PRC subsidiary that do not exceed their current maximum amount of borrowings, we will have to register each loan with SAFE or its local counterpart for the issuance of a registration certificate of foreign debts. In practice, it could be time-consuming to complete such SAFE registration process.

 

Any loans we make to our PRC affiliated entity, which is treated as a PRC domestic company rather than a foreign-invested enterprise under PRC law, are also subject to various PRC regulations and approvals. Under applicable PRC regulations, international commercial loans to PRC domestic companies are subject to various government approvals.

 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the necessary government registrations or obtain the necessary government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans by us to our PRC subsidiary or PRC affiliated entity or with respect to future capital contributions by us to our PRC subsidiary. If we fail to complete such registrations or obtain such approvals, our ability to use the proceeds we expect to receive from this offering and to capitalize or otherwise fund our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could adversely and materially affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

 

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively and the ability of our PRC subsidiary to obtain financing.

 

Substantially all of our revenues and operating expenses are denominated in Renminbi. Restrictions on currency exchange imposed by the PRC government may limit our ability to utilize revenues generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside China, if any, or expenditures denominated in foreign currencies. Under current PRC regulations, Renminbi may be freely converted into foreign currency for payments relating to “current account transactions,” which include among other things dividend payments and payments for the import of goods and services, by complying with certain procedural requirements. Our PRC subsidiary may also retain foreign exchange in their respective current account bank accounts, subject to a cap set by SAFE or its local counterpart, for use in payment of international current account transactions.

15

 


 

 

However, conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies and of foreign currencies into Renminbi, for payments relating to “capital account transactions,” which principally includes investments and loans, generally requires the approval of SAFE and other relevant PRC governmental authorities. Restrictions on the convertibility of the Renminbi for capital account transactions could affect the ability of our PRC subsidiary to make investments overseas or to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, including by means of loans or capital contributions from us.

 

In August 2008, SAFE promulgated Circular 142, a notice regulating the conversion by Foreign Invested Enterprises or “FIEs” of foreign currencies into Renminbi by restricting how the converted Renminbi may be used. Circular 142 requires that Renminbi converted from the foreign currency-dominated capital of a FIE may only be used for purposes within the business scope approved by the applicable government authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC unless specifically provided for otherwise. In addition, SAFE strengthened its oversight over the flow and use of Renminbi funds converted from the foreign currency-dominated capital of a FIE. The use of such Renminbi may not be changed without approval from SAFE, and may not be used to repay Renminbi loans if the proceeds of such loans have not yet been used. Violations of Circular 142 may result in severe penalties, including substantial fines as set forth in the SAFE rules.

Any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may affect the ability of our PRC subsidiary or affiliated entity to obtain foreign currencies, limit our ability to utilize revenues generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside China that are denominated in foreign currencies, or otherwise materially and adversely affect our business.

 

Chinese law restricts foreign ownership of Chinese entities and we, therefore, have no legal standing to assert ownership rights to our Chinese subsidiaries.

 

In the year 2005, the People’s Republic of China enacted a law restricting ownership of Chinese operating companies to Chinese individuals and entities, or to non Chinese individuals and entities which acquired entity interests for cash.  Since the Company does not qualify for ownership under that law, it technically has no legal standing under the laws of the PRC to assert its ownership rights to China Wonder or the seven other subsidiaries.  While the Company does not believe this will affect its right to operate through China Wonder in the PRC, this lack of standing may undermine our ability to control our Chinese subsidiaries and govern their operations.  To alleviate this risk, Wonder USA has operating and pledge agreements with each of the schools in China which provides Wonder USA with the control and ownership of the assets of Wonder China.  See the financial footnotes for additional information.

 

Failure to file and pay income taxes in China may hinder the Company’s ability to conduct business.

 

            In China, the failure to pay or file income taxes will significantly impact a company’s ability to operate.  In the event of a failure to pay taxes, the Chinese government would get a priority lien against all of the Company’s assets.  Additionally, if a company if found to have been deliberately avoiding its tax obligations, the Company’s officers and/or directors may be found to be liable for the failure and a jail term may be imposed.

MARKET ANALYSIS

 

CURRENT SITUATION OF FOREIGN VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

 

Current vocational education in several main developed countries

 

Vocational education plays an important role in many developed countries’ education system, providing significant contributions to promote economic development, solve the country’s employment problems and improve young people’s abilities throughout the country. In many countries, the vocational education is very popular, especially in Germany, the United States, and Australia.  It is beginning to grow significantly in China as noted in the following paragraphs.

 

 

 

29

 


 

 

Forward-looking Review of vocational education in foreign countries

 

Vocational education tends to focus on the “fit” between the student’s talent and the company’s need.  It also depends on predicting the company’s vocational technology need, and the amount of participation by the corporation.

 

Focusing on technology exploration,

 

Several countries and regions have already published documents or reports to promote technology ability development. According to several reports by the European Union, the number of people with lower level technology or no professional knowledge totals approximately 80 million and are in the 25 to 64 age group. The amount equals the population of the largest country in EU-Germany.

 

To have vocational training be more accurate, countries in the EU pay great attention to the predictability of technical abilities. For example, there are systems such as Great Britain’s Technology Database, the “Studying Monitor System” in Norway, Technology Ability Prediction Method in Finland, and the Technology Cooperation Program of the French.

 

People-Oriented Vocational Education

 

The People-Oriented Vocational Education focuses on people’s career development, the vocational education guide, and providing flexibility and openness in communication. 

 

First, this system focuses on people’s career development. This important focus coupled with the openness of the education system is the distinguishing feature of the people-oriented education system with Australia’s middle level to senior level positions in corporations. They focus on building the skills of individuals.  They emphasize the transformation from a general education to a vocational education to obtaining a university degree. For example, in Australia’s junior high school, students studying basic coursework can apply to study in the vocational education system. After obtaining the vocational education certificates, students can apply for study in a university. Several contracts have been signed between specific universities and some TAFE institutions, which allow students to finish the TAFE course, and then continue to study in the associated university. Once both sets of coursework have been completed and the appropriate tests passed, the students are able to get both the TAFE vocational education certificate and a bachelors degree from the associated university.

 

Second, this system focuses on the employment guide. Many countries in Europe, America and Australia pay great attention to their employment guide.  The career guide of America contains an introduction to the entire field of opportunities, details of related businesses, and information on the employment selection process and finally on how to prepare yourself for a specific field.  In Australia, there’s professional training and teaching in TAFE institutions concerning employment opportunities.

 

The third part of this system is to set up a communication system between the university and vocational education systems. The system will include a credit transfer system, and a sharing of study and working experience between the university and vocational education systems.  Look at the following systems for additional details: the “Unit system” in Australia, the “Separation System and the Credit Approval System” of Chinese Taiwan, and the “Credit Transform System” in Great Britain.  All of these systems have excellent communication processes.

 

Professional Courses with professional Orientation

 

Several famous and popular education models in the world such as ability-based education, working career education and general knowledge education are all professionally-oriented.

 

GENERAL SUMMARY OF CHINESE VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

 

30

 


 

There are three levels in the vocational education system in China.  Education starts with the Junior Vocational Education school followed by the Secondary Vocational Education school and finally one moves to the Senior Vocational Education school.  The most popular is the Secondary Vocational Education school since it is directly linked to the development of China’s economy.

 

Statistically, the number of Secondary Vocational schools has increased 2.1 times versus the number of schools in 1978.  The number of students has also increased.  The number of students recruited for Secondary Vocational schools has increased 10.5 times while the number of in-school students increased 14.3 times.

 

 

 The Development of Secondary Vocational Education

 During the Past 30 Years in China

The Development of China’s Private Vocational Education

(Source: 2007-2009 China Vocational Education Industry Report)

 

 

As can be seen from the bar charts above, more than 80 million students from the Secondary Vocational Education schools and more than 20 million students from the Senior Vocational schools have graduated in the past 30 years.  At the same time, over 150 million people are taking part in various kinds of vocational education in China. In 2008, the Secondary Vocational Education program represented approximately 50% of the entire High School Education system in China and it continues to grow.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING REVIEW OF CHINESE VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

 

Chinese Government Encouraging Private Vocational Education

 

There are four kinds of Vocational Education schools currently in China divided by the different management systems.  They are: Nationally financed Vocational Education schools, Vocational Education schools managed by social organizations, Vocational schools managed by corporations and finally, the privately owned Vocational schools.  The Private Vocational Schools are the most popular in China.  Since capital is very scarce, the Chinese government is encouraging the founding of non-government owned or privately owned institutions for Vocational Education.

 

Market-oriented establishment of professions in vocational education school

 

The professions in a Vocational School are established by a combination of market demand and what is taught in that specific school. Currently, almost all of the professions in the vocational education school system are set up by utilizing the principles of market orientation and satisfaction of the development of the local economy.  The market is based on demand and only those professions that meet this demand survive.

31

 


 


Focusing on practical training methods

 

Chinese education has changed from an elite education system to a more popular education focused on vocational training. With the optimization of the industry structure and with more specialization required, a vocational education has become more important.  Practical skills are needed in the work place.  The vocational education system requires students to practice what they learn by putting into practice what they studied in the classroom.  Many of the students will seek more than one educational degree to meet the needs of the industry in their areas.

 

Setting up the training courses based on a company’s need to secure a talented workforce.

 

Vocational education schools usually set up the training courses based on a company’s talent need. As many employers request new staff with related working experience, the local vocational schools build a strong relationship with the employers; if necessary, the students will be taught specific skills to meet the needs of the employer.

 

There is a surplus of students from the rural parts of China.

 

During the past few years, there have been tens of thousands of laborers from rural areas transferred to cities to obtain jobs. However, most of them have very little education or practical training.

 

Since the cost to study in a vocational education school is much lower than any other education school, it is very economical for students from rural areas to choose a vocational education. To obtain a vocational education, students from the rural areas of China can have access to professional classes and have the possibility of working in large cities after graduation. Accordingly, the vocational-specific technologies education school plays an important role in the Chinese urbanization process.

 

THE POTENTIAL OF “INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (“IT”) EDUCATION” IN THE CHINESE MARKET

 

According to the Ministry of Education in China, there are 1,816,878 graduates of IT departments and 1,710,832 in-school students studying IT at vocational education schools in 2006.  As the IT industry develops, this will require that IT education have a rapid development as well.

 

The IT industry has grown in size to 51.9 billion dollars and is now 0.8% of China’s GDP.  Many IT companies and Research Centers have been created in China during the past few years.  Therefore the demand for IT talent has also grown significantly and individuals with IT skills are in great demand.  Please note the Demand versus Capacity table  and the IT Supply and Demand graphs below.

TARGET MARKET ANALYSIS

 

Wonder has significant advantages since their primary recruitment area is from Junior High Schools and High Schools from the rural areas of China.   Also, Wonder has the resources to provide employment and career placement services once the student graduates from their vocational school.

 

Great market demand of vocational education after high school in China

 

With the improvement of Chinese high school education and limited education resources at the same time, there’s great market demand for vocational education. According to statistics from the Ministry of Education in China, 8.8 million students had been recruited by universities with the average enrollment ratio of 60.23 per cent of total possible students in 2006, in 2007 the quantity increased to 10.1 million while the ratio decreased to 54 per cent; in 2008 the quantity reached a culminating point of 10.5 million students and the ratio was 57.04 per cent.  Therefore, there is only a small improvement of Chinese Universities’ total capacity. Accordingly, there is great market demand for vocational education.

Great market demand of vocational education due to the transfer of rural labor

 

The Chinese government is faced with the task of moving a significant amount of rural labor to China’s larger cities as the country moves toward urbanization.  It is predicted that 15 to 20 million people from the rural areas of China will need to be transferred to the cities to meet the demands of the economy during the next 5 to 10 years.  Poor education throughout the country has hindered the realization of this process.  However, many believe that the expanding vocational education system will provide the necessary skills needed to meet the economic demands and will accelerate the urbanization of China.

The industry condition of rural labor

(Source: 2007-2009 China Vocational Education Industry Report)

 

There is great opportunity for the vocational education industry as the Chinese develop and build new villages and complete the urbanization process.

 

Currently, China is actively developing and implementing the New Village Construction program. This program is intended to accelerate the training of rural laborers who are transferring from their rural homes to the larger cities where many of the new jobs are located.

 

During this urbanization process, more highly educated rural laborers are needed.  However, amongst the rural laborers younger than 35 years old, less than 9.1 per cent have been professionally trained and less than 5 percent have taken part in the rural vocational education system. The lack of education is hindering the progress of the urbanization process and the New Village Construction program.

 

The Chinese government has published several policies to promote the development of vocational education.   The Chinese government believes vocational education is a key program for speeding up the New Village Construction program and the urbanization process.  Vocational education is one of the most effective programs to improve the skills of the rural laborers as they transfer to critical jobs in the larger cities of China.

 

Training institutions that focus their attention on providing rural vocational education will see significant opportunities during the New Village Construction projects.  The size of this market is very significant for those who take advantage of the urbanization process in China. The Chinese government has initiated a series of policies to supply incentives to organizations to provide rural vocational education.  The State Department’s decision “to energetically develop vocational education” affirms the great opportunity that exists for those who devote themselves to the rural vocational education market.

 

Competition:

 

The vocational school market in China is very fragmented and there are many smaller players; the market is furthered fragmented into specialized sectors. There are vocational schools for the junior high school, high school and university graduates; there are vocational schools for learning foreign languages, industrial skills, service providers and computer technology technicians. Wonder is in the computer IT technology sector. We mainly target our recruitment efforts at the junior and high school graduates who want to gain a set of pragmatic computer IT technology knowledge for their immediate employment needs. In the sector we are in, there are many competitors locally and nationally. Many of them are smaller in scale compared to ours. There are many factors a typical student would consider before choosing a vocation school; besides the curricula offered, the history, size and brand name of the institution are also among the considerations. Wonder is one of the better known vocational schools in the cities it now operates.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 compared with December 31, 2007.

 

The following is an analysis of our revenues and gross profit, details and analysis of components of expenses, and variance from December 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007.

Our revenues for the year 2008 were $9,712,635, which represents an increase of $315,186 (or 3%) from revenues of $9,397,449 for comparable 2007 period. The growth of Company sales was inhibited by the worldwide economic recession.  Although it appears that sales grew by 3.4% in reality sales were largely unchanged from those of 2007.  The Chinese currency (RMB) was stronger than the U.S. dollar in 2008 than it had been in 2007.  Thus, 2008 sales which were approximately the same as those of 2007 appear larger when presented in U.S. dollars.  We expect significant growth in 2009 which will be less affected by the recession.

 

Expenses.

 

Selling and administrative expenses.

 

Selling and administrative expenses (which includes salaries and benefits, depreciation, travel and promotion, technical support and related overhead) for 2008 were $1,748,920, which represents an increase of $11,251 (or 0.6%) from the expenses of the prior year.  Major items of expense of the two years are presented below.

Selling and administrative was also lower when presented in RMB.  What appears to be a 0.6% increase when presented in U.S. dollars was a 2.67% reduction in RMB.

 

Operating Income (Loss). We generated operating income during 2008 of $4,213,292 compared with $3,602,486 in 2007, for the reasons discussed above.

 

Other Income and Expenses.

Other income was $482,737 in 2008, compared with $417,843 in 2007.  Interest income was $235,578 in 2008; there was no comparable amount in 2007.  The Company started a small loan business late in 2008 which generated the interest income.  This business was discontinued early in 2009.  Interest expense was $22,731 in 2008, compared with $14,123 in 2007.

Discontinued Operations.

During the year 2008, the Company began a small loan business.  This business generated business income which, after income taxes and other expenses, amounted to $176,683.  Financing of this business was from noninterest bearing loans; the outstanding balance of these loans was $10,553,301 at December 31, 2008.  This business was discontinued in 2009.

Foreign currency translation adjustment.

40

 


 

 

Foreign currency translation adjustment, which is the impact of different foreign exchange rates applied to balance sheet accounts, versus those applied to income statement accounts, was a gain of $861,252 for 2008, which contrasts with a gain of $598,333 for the comparable 2007 period. The increase reflects the strengthening of the Yuan (or RMB) against the US Dollar.

 

 

Total Comprehensive Income

For the 2008 year end period, we had a total comprehensive income of $4,500,764 compared with a total comprehensive income for 2007 of $3,159,577.  Total comprehensive income is the combined sum of net income and comprehensive income.  Since each of these increased, the combined amount also increased.

 

Income Per Share.

 

Income applicable to common stock holders was $0.12 per share in 2008 compared with $0.09 per share during 2007.  The income is reflective of the earnings increase as the number of common shares outstanding has not changed.

 

Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2009 Compared with September 30, 2008.

 

The following is an analysis of our revenues, gross profit, and components of expenses of the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 compared with those of the comparable 2008 period.

 

Revenues

 

Our revenues for the 2009 nine month period were $9,416,441 compared with $7,942,260 for the comparable 2008 period, an increase of 18.6%.  Increases occurred at all schools.  The size of the increase was made possible by increases in the numbers of students taking courses of longer duration.  Although the total number of enrolled students increased by 10%, revenue increased by more than 18%.  There were significant increases in the students enrolled in courses lasting more than ten months and reductions in the numbers of students enrolled in courses of shorter duration.

 

Gross Profit

 

The increased enrollments and improved mix of classes also caused a reduction in direct cost and a significant increase in gross profit.  The reduced cost occurred mainly in teacher salaries and benefits, as less special teaching compensation is required for courses that have shorter durations.

 

Selling and Administrative Expense

 

Selling and administrative expense increased by $905,319 from $1,355,932 in the 2008 period to $2,261,351 in the 2009 nine month period.  Although this category of expenses includes many items, almost all of the increase was attributable to an intensive advertising program conducted during the 2009 period.

 

Current trends in the industry

 

We have experienced a consistent trend of sales increases due to expansion of the numbers of our schools and increased government support for technical training.  We expect this trend to continue and, in order for us to retain our market share and increase and surpass revenue levels previously achieved, we will continue to expand the number of schools that we operate.  We will also focus on maintaining good government relations by providing what we believe to be a higher level and quality of service. We wish to attract new students by providing this level of service consistently.

41

 


 

 

We have been able to retain our market share and expect to increase our student base and level of sales with our existing methods of marketing, sales staff and the service we provide. We believe that service is the most important factor in our marketing mix. As mentioned above "Trends in the Market", with new developments in rural areas, the PRC will be supporting the training we provide.  We anticipate such developments will increase our sales significantly.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

As of December 31, 2008, we had working capital deficit of $10,119,427, compared to a working capital deficit of $8,809,836 as of December 31, 2007. The increase is due principally to the establishment of a small loan business, which was discontinued during 2009.

 

Over the next 12 months, we will require additional working capital of approximately $1,000,000 to sustain our working capital needs based on projected sales of $10,500,000:  See plans for expansion below for additional capital needs to grow the business.

Sources of Capital.

 

We expect our revenues generated from operations to cover our projected working capital needs; however, if additional capital is needed, we will explore financing through options such as shareholder loans. Shareholder loans are without stated terms of repayment. We have no formal agreement that ensures that we will receive such loans. In the event shareholder loans are not available, we may seek long or short term financing from local banks.

 

There are two bank arrangements that we can use as a source of capital for our company.  They are as follows:

We have a credit facility with a local bank under which we can borrow up to $438,000, with interest at the rate of 8.316% per annum.  Borrowing under this facility totaled only $437,688 at December 31, 2008.  In addition we have an over-draft arrangement with a local bank under which we can write post dated checks of up to $1,900,000.  There is a service charge for these checks but there is no interest charge.  The bank guarantees payment of these checks; the only obligation of the Company is to have funds continuously on deposit equal to the amount of checks not yet cleared.  The outstanding balance under this arrangement as of December 31, 2008 and January 31, 2010 was $1,876,647 and $1,470,000 respectfully.

 

Plans for Expansion.

 

Given sufficient funding, we expect to expand our operations throughout China by establishing additional schools. Each new school will have a full complement of staff.  The capital needed for each new school is about $1,500,000 and is not included in the working capital needs. Wonder has signed a Capital Raise Agreement with an Investment Bank in New York City.  The Investment Bank plans to raise up to $10 million (US dollars) to help accelerate our initial growth plans soon after our listing on a U.S. stock exchange.  Most likely, we will raise additional capital in future years to help us grow to 25 to 30 schools and raise our annual revenue to $50 to $60 million (US dollars).  Total capital needed will be in the range of $30 to $40 million to reach our growth plan.

 

We do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that are likely to have a material impact on our short-term or long-term liquidity other than those factors discussed above.

 

Material Commitments

 

We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures other than what was discussed relating to establishment of our new facilities.

 

42

 


 

Seasonal Aspects

 

Our business is seasonal in that sales are particularly low in the summer months, due to school vacations.  Sales are usually higher at the start of new semesters.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements.

 

We have no off balance sheet arrangements.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

 

Critical Accounting Estimates.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The application of GAAP involves the exercise of varying degrees of judgment. The resulting accounting estimates will not always precisely equal the related actual results. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:

 

Assumptions are required to be made, and

 

Changes in estimates could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

 

The following accounting policies are the ones that we consider critical.

 

 

Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when product is delivered to customers. All student pre-pay for their education, generally on an annual or school-year basis.  The revenue is then recognized ratably over that year as the classes occur.  No provision is made for any right of return that may exist as the payments are non-refundable. 

 

Common Stock. Common stock of the Company will occasionally by issued in return for services. Values will be assigned to these issuances equal to the market value of the common stock at measurement date. Measurement date is defined under EITF 96-18 which states the criteria to be used for the valuation of stock issued for goods and services.

 

Stock Options.  Stock options, if issued, will be valued at fair value on the dates of issuance using a Black Schools valuation model, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R.

 

Other Comprehensive Income. The company reports as other comprehensive income revenues, expenses, and gains and losses that are not included in the determination of net income. Resultant gains during the years 2008 and 2007 are the result of gains from translations of Chinese currency to U.S. dollars.

 

Foreign Currency Translation.  All Company assets are located in China. There assets and related liabilities are recorded on the books of the Company in the currency of China (Renminbi), which is the functional currency. They are translated into US dollars as follows:

 

(a)    Assets and liabilities at the rates of exchange in effect at balance sheet dates;

(b)    Equity accounts, at the exchange rates prevailing at the times of the transactions that established the equity accounts; and

(c)    Revenues and expenses, at the average rate of exchange for the year.

43

 


 

 

Gains and losses arising from this translation of foreign currency are included in other comprehensive income.

In computing the number and percentage of shares beneficially owned by a person, shares of Common Stock subject to options and/or warrants currently exercisable, or exercisable at a later date, are counted as outstanding, but these shares are not counted as outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

The Arizona statutes provide, in effect, that any person made a party to any action by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company may and, in certain cases, must be indemnified by against, in the case of a non-derivative action, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by him as a result of such action, and in the case of a derivative action, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), if in either type of action he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and in any criminal proceeding in which such person had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful. This indemnification does not apply, in a derivative action, to matters as to which it is adjudged that the director, officer, employee or agent is liable to the Company, unless upon court order it is determined that, despite such adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for expenses.

 

The Company’s Bylaws provide for indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Arizona law. Such indemnification applies in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding.

 

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any director or officer as to which indemnification is being sought, nor is the Company aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Under provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the registrant, directors and officers will be indemnified for any and all judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys fees, in connection with threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, or criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action arising by or in the right of the registrant), if such director or officer has been wholly successful on the merits or otherwise, or is found to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In addition, directors and officers will be indemnified for reasonable expenses in connection with threatened, pending or completed actions or suits by or in the right of registrant if such director or officer has been wholly successful on the merits or otherwise, or is found to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant, except in the case of certain findings by a court that such person is liable for negligence or misconduct in his or her duty to the registrant unless such court also finds that such person is nevertheless fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors

Wonder International Education & Investment Group Corporation

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wonder International Education & Investment Group Corporation as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted the audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 under 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wonder International Education & Investment Group Corporation as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

WONDER INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION & INVESTMENT GROUP CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008

 

 

1.  ORGANIZATION and BUSINESS

 

Organization of Company

 

The Company was organized in the state of Arizona on April 17, 2008, for the purpose of providing computer related IT education in The People’s Republic of China (PRC).  On April 26, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement (the Agreement) to exchange 20,000,000 of its common stock for all the common stock of Anhui Wonder Education & Investment Management Corporation (China Wonder), a company incorporated in the PRC.  This transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger, with China Wonder treated as the acquiring company.  The Company had no assets or liabilities on the date of the merger, so no allocation of the purchase price was made.

 

Business

 

China Wonder was incorporated in the PRC, on April 1, 2008.  Its operations are headquartered in the city of Hefei, which is the capital of Anhui province.  It operates information technology schools through seven subsidiaries (see Note 2) in Hefei and in six other cities of the PRC.  Each of the seven subsidiaries of China Wonder is licensed by local authorities to operate a school.  Prior to the acquisition of China Wonder by the Company, the Company had no operating history and had no assets, liabilities, or equity.  As a result of entering into the Agreement, the shareholders of China Wonder became shareholders of the Company.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

China Wonder operates under the authority of a business license which was granted April 10, 2008 and expires April 10, 2028.  Renewal of the license will depend on the result of government inspections which are made to ensure environmental laws are not breached.

 

The officers of the Company control through direct ownership most of the outstanding stock of the Company.  As a result, insiders will be able to control the outcome of all matters requiring stockholder approval and will be able to elect all of the Company directors.

 

In the year 2005, the PRC enacted a law restricting ownership of Chinese operating companies to Chinese individuals and entities, or to non Chinese individuals and entities which acquired entity interests for cash.  Since the Company does not qualify for ownership under that law, it technically has no legal standing under the laws of the PRC to assert its ownership rights to China Wonder or the seven other subsidiaries.  The Company does not believe this will affect its right to operate through China Wonder in the PRC.

 

The Company owns 100% of the outstanding stock of China Wonder and China Wonder owns 100% of the outstanding stock of each of its Chinese subsidiaries.  The Company does not consider the ownership restriction created by the 2005 Chinese law to be so severe as to affect the ability of the Company to control these subsidiaries.  The seven schools and China Wonder are obligated to US Wonder under operating agreements and asset pledge agreements under which the Company controls the operations and cash flows of these Chinese companies, and realizes the benefits and assumes the risks of ownership.  For these reasons the Company believes it meets the standards for consolidating these subsidiaries as specified in the pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Consolidated Statements

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, China Wonder, and the seven wholly owned subsidiaries of China Wonder, listed below. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

                                                                                    Dates of

                                                                                    Formation

            Anhui Wonder Computer Institute                 01/06/06

            Liaoning Wonder Computer School               05/10/07

            Zhejiang Wonder Computer School               08/29/03

            Jiangsu Wonder Computer School                 04/25/05

            Henan Wonder Computer Institute                12/24/06

            Hubei Wonder Computer School                   07/25/02

            Fujian Wonder Computer School                   04/30/05

 

Cash

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all short term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Concentrations Of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, short term loans receivable and related accrued interest, and miscellaneous receivables.  However, all Company assets are located in the PRC and Company cash balances are on deposit at financial institutions in the PRC, the currency of which is not free trading.  Foreign exchange transactions are required to be conducted through institutions authorized by the Chinese government and there is no guaranty that Chinese currency can be converted to U.S. or other currencies.

 

Recognition Of Revenue

 

Revenue is recognized when product is delivered to customers.  All students pre-pay for the courses they take, generally on an annual or school year basis.  The revenue is then recognized rateably over that year as classes occur.  No provision is made for any right of return that may exist as the payments are non-refundable.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash, short term loans and related interest, other receivables, bank loans payable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, other liabilities, and advances from affiliated companies, approximate their fair values at December 31, 2008.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight line method, with lives of fifty years for buildings, five years for computers and related equipment and furniture, and eight to ten years for automobiles.

 

Taxes

 

China Wonder generates its income in China where Value Added Tax, Income Tax, City Construction and Development Tax, and Education Surcharge taxes are applicable.  Neither the Company nor China Wonder conducts any operations in the U.S.; therefore, U.S. taxes are not applicable.

 

Use Of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimated.

 

Common Stock

 

Common stock of the Company will occasionally be issued in return for services.  Values will be assigned to these issuances equal to the market value of the common stock at measurement date.  Measurement date is defined under EITF 96-18 which states the criteria to be used for the valuation of stock issued for goods and services.

 

Stock Options

 

Stock options, if issued, will be valued at fair value on the dates of issuance using a Black Scholes valuation model, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R.

WONDER INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION & INVESTMENT GROUP CORPORATION

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management believes that none of the recently adopted accounting pronouncements will have a material affect on the Company financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Other Comprehensive Income

 

The Company reports as other comprehensive income revenues, expenses, and gains and losses that are not included in the determination of net income.  Resultant gains during the years 2008 and 2007 are all the result of gains from translations of Chinese currency amounts to U.S. dollars.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

All Company assets are located in China.  These assets and related liabilities are recorded on the books of the Company in the currency of China (Renminbi), which is the functional currency.  They are translated into US dollars as follows:

 

(a)  Assets and liabilities, at the rates of exchange in effect at balance sheet dates;

 

(b)  Equity accounts, at the exchange rates prevailing at the times of the transactions that   established the equity accounts; and

 

(c)  Revenues and expenses, at the average rate of exchange for the year.

 

Gains and losses arising from this translation of foreign currency are included in other comprehensive income.

 

Product Warranties

 

Refunds to students who withdraw from courses are rarely made and are made only at the discretion of the Company.  For this reason and, since revenue is recognized only as services are provided, no provision is needed for possible withdrawals.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

 

Net Income Per Share

 

The Company computes net income per common share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”).  Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB 98, basic and diluted net income per common share are computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  The number of weighted average shares outstanding as well as the amount of net income per share are the same for basic and diluted per share calculations for all periods reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

 

 

Advertising Cost

 

The Company expenses advertising costs when an advertisement occurs.  Amounts expensed were $646,818 during 2008 and $767,464 during 2007.

 

Segment Reporting

 

Management treats the operations of the Company as one segment.

 

3.  STATUTORY RESERVE

 

As required by the Chinese law that governs accounting, the Company allocates 10% of its previous year’s after tax profits, if any, to a Statutory Reserve Fund and 5% to a Statutory Public Welfare Fund, as determined from year to year.  These funds are allocated appropriately until reserves reach 50% of Paid in Capital.

 

4.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company president controls a number of Chinese enterprises which are involved in the field of education and in other fields.  Advances were made to seven of these companies during the year 2008 and to six of them during the year 2007.  In addition, advances were received from six of these companies during the year 2008 and from six of these companies during the year 2007.  Activity in these accounts during 2007 and 2008 is summarized below.

These schedules are not additive, because the records are kept in the Chinese currency (RMB) and currency exchange rates have changed during these periods.

 

During the year 2006, the Company president advanced $37,000 to the Company.  That advance remained outstanding at December 31, 2008.  It is due on demand and does not bear interest. 

 

During 2007 and 2008, payments were made on behalf of the Company president.  The outstanding balances of these were $107,000 at December 31, 2007 and $526,000 at December 31, 2008.

 

During the year 2008, the Company purchased computers from one of the companies controlled by the company president.  These purchases totaled $149,952.

 

5.  RENTALS UNDER OPERATING LEASES

 

The Company conducts its operations from its principal business office in Hefei, China.  These offices are owned by the Company president and are operated without charge.  If rent were charged for this space; it would be $3,591 per month.  Three of the schools rent classroom and office space under operating leases.  Leases for two of these schools expire more than one year after December 31, 2008.  Future rent for these leases is presented below:

6.  BANK LOAN

 

The Company has a short term bank loan which is renewed periodically.  The balances at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $437,688 and $410,167, respectively.  The current loan matures October 16, 2009 and bears interest at 8.316%.

 

7.  BANK DRAFTS PAYABLE

 

The Company has an arrangement, similar to a letter of credit, with a Chinese bank under which drafts are drawn to satisfy Company obligations.  These drafts are usually due in less than one year and payment is guaranteed by the bank.  The Company is required to have adequate funds on deposit with the bank when the drafts are presented for payment.  There is no interest charged for these drafts, but the bank charges a fee for this service.  Drafts totaling $1,896,647 were outstanding at December 31, 2008.   

 

8.  SMALL LOAN BUSINESS

 

During the year 2008, the Company began a small loan business.  Loans totaling $10,756,709 were made during 2008; of this amount, $10,553,301 remained outstanding at December 31, 2008.  These loans bore interest at a rate of 1.64% per month.  They were financed by borrowings which did not require the payment of interest; the outstanding balances of these loans totaled $12,570,144 at December 31, 2008.  Interest income generated by this small loan business during 2008 totaled $235,578.  Since this business is unrelated to the basic business of the Company, it was discontinued during 2009 and turned over to an entity controlled by the Company president.

 

 

9.  INCOME TAXES

 

The Company is required to file income tax returns in both the United States and China.  Its operations in the United States have been insignificant and income taxes have not accrued.  In China, the Company is responsible to file tax returns for each of its eight subsidiaries.

 

The Company has not filed all of the tax returns that are required in China.  It has, however, recognized its obligations for income taxes by accruing appropriate liabilities on the financial statements.  The Company is in the process of negotiating with taxing authorities to which it is responsible to bring its filing status current.  It does not expect resultant settlements to exceed the amounts accrued.

 

The Company has one class of transactions that causes the recognition of a significant deferred tax benefit:  The Company recognizes revenue only as it is earned; for income tax purposes, however, revenue is recognized as it is collected, resulting in the accrual of taxes before the income is recognized on the financial statements.  Under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, deferred tax assets may be recognized unless it is more likely than not that the tax benefit will not be realized.  The Company  recorded deferred tax assets in 2008 and 2007 of $935,424 and $1,135,875, respectively.  A valuation allowance had been provided at December 31, 2006 of $288,592; no such allowance was deemed necessary in subsequent years. 

 

A reconciliation of the taxes calculated by applying the Chinese statutory rate to pre tax income with the provisions for income taxes is presented below.

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

 

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Wonder International Education & Investment Group Corporation (the Company) as of September 30,2009 and 2008 and for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  In the opinion of management, such information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of such periods.  The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.

 

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes the disclosure is adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008.

 

2. SMALL LOAN BUSINESS

During the year 2008, the Company began a small loan business. Loans totaling $10,756,709 were made during 2008; of this amount, $10,553,301 remained outstanding at December 31, 2008. These loans bore interest at a rate of 1.64% per month. They were financed by borrowings which did not require the payment of interest; the outstanding balances of these loans totaled $12,570,144 at December 31, 2008. Interest income generated by this small loan business during 2008 totaled $235,578. Since this business is unrelated to the basic business of the Company, it was discontinued during 2009 and turned over to an entity controlled by the Company president.

*Filed with S-1Registration Statement on December 9, 2009 UNDERTAKINGS AND SIGNATURES


 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) To include any registration statement or prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii) To reflect in the registration statement or prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for determining our liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, we undertake that in a primary offering of our securities pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, we will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus that we file relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (Section 230.424 of this chapter);

 

(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on our behalf or used or referred to by us;

 

(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about us or our securities provided by or on behalf of us; and

 

(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by us to the purchaser.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling person sin connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
