cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. Forward-looking
statements usually contain the words “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,”

risks and uncertainties. In evaluating such statements, prospective investors
should carefully review various risks and uncertainties identified in this
Report, including the matters set forth under the captions “Risk Factors” and in
the Company’s other SEC filings. These risks and uncertainties could cause the
Company’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the
forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or
publicly announce revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect future
events or developments.
Although
forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K reflect the good

factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are
inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results and outcomes
may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated
by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to
such differences in results and outcomes include, without limitation, those
specifically addressed under the heading “Risks Relating to Our Business” below,
as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Readers
are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We file reports
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). You can read and copy any
materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room, 100 F.
Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549 on official business days during the hours of
10 a.m. to 3 p.m. You can obtain additional information about the operation of
the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the
SEC maintains an Internet site (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and
information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file

We
undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in
order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider
the various disclosures made throughout the entirety of this annual report,
which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects.
Overview
We are in
the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and sales of recordable
digital versatile disc (“DVDR”) media and recordable compact discs (“CDR”).
We currently manufacture DVDRs with 8x and 16x writable speeds as well as CDRs
with 52x writable speeds, and have been developing our DVD-R manufacturing basis
in both Hong Kong and Brazil to capture the worldwide market. As the
“war” between high density format DVDR (“HD-DVD”) and Blu-ray DVD formats has
ended with the Blu-ray DVD format surviving in the marketplace to become the
latest format of DVD recordable media, we have a new perspective in business
development in the world market for the next 5 years. We have
acquired the first set of Blu-ray DVD replication systems in the China/Hong Kong
region and will devote more resources to developing the market for Blu-ray DVD
replication systems. We have customers in Western Europe, Australia,
China and South America.
We
produce our products through our two main operational business subsidiaries,
Infoscience Media Limited (“IS Media”) at our state-of-the-art DVDR
manufacturing facilities in Hong Kong and Discobras Industria E Comercio de
Electro Eletronica Limiteda (“Discobras”) at our state-of-the-art DVDR & CDR
manufacturing facilities in Brazil.
History
and Development of the Company
History
We were
incorporated on July 16, 1996 in the State of California under the name Cyber
Merchants Exchange, Inc. (“Cyber”). In July 1999, we raised approximately $3.2
million through an initial public offering. On June 30, 2000, we raised an
additional $6.3 million in a private placement offering subscribed by 30 high
net-worth Chinese investors. Prior to our reorganization, as described below, we
were an intermediary to global suppliers and buyers in the manufacturing,
wholesaling and retailing apparel business. Effective October 12, 2006, we
changed our name from Cyber Merchants Exchange, Inc. to Infosmart Group, Inc.
(the “Company”).
In
December 2006, IS Media acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock
of Infoscience Holdings Limited (“IS Holdings”). IS Media has a cooperation
agreement with IS Holdings wherein it manufactures its DVDRs using certain
patent licenses owned by IS Holdings. IS Media acquired IS Holdings to guarantee
the continuation of this cooperation agreement. We also have a Brazilian
subsidiary, Discobras Industria E Comercio de Electro Eletronica Limiteda
(“Discobras”), which was formed in March 2006 by IS Media and a local partner,
with registered capital of US$8 million for our new Brazilian DVDR production
facility. IS Media currently holds a 99.42% ownership interest in Discobras, and
the local partner holds the remaining 0.58% ownership interest in
Discobras. In addition, we incorporated a new subsidiary, Portabello
Global Limited (“Portabello”), for distributing and reselling our recordable
digital versatile discs and media to customers in South
America.
1
Company
Reorganization
On May
16, 2004, our shareholders of record on March 25, 2005 approved a reorganization
of the Company (the "Company Reorganization"). The Company Reorganization is
summarized as follows:
|
·
|
We
transferred of all of our assets and liabilities (the "Transfer") to ASAP
Show Inc., a then wholly owned subsidiary ("ASAP"), effective May 31, 2005
pursuant to a Transfer and Assumption Agreement (“Transfer Agreement”),
with ASAP continuing to operate the trade show business previously carried
on by us;
|
|
·
|
We
issued a stock bonus to certain directors and key employees of 120,862
shares of our common stock, on a post-reverse split basis, effective May
31, 2005 (the “Stock Bonus”);
|
|
·
|
We
effected a one for eight and one-half (1-for-8.5) reverse stock split of
our common stock (the "Reverse Split") with special treatment to preserve
round lot stockholders, effective July 18,
2005;
|
|
·
|
On
or about August 25, 2005, we distributed 8,626,480 shares of common stock
of ASAP, representing all of the outstanding shares of ASAP, to our
shareholders of record on August 18, 2005 on a pro rata basis (the
"Distribution"), with such distributed shares being held by our transfer
agent as depository agent until such time as the Form 10-SB filed by ASAP
became effective with all comments from the SEC cleared (certificates
representing such shares were issued by the transfer agent to the
shareholders on or about March 27,
2006);
|
|
·
|
We
entered into an amended and restated Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”)
with KI Equity effective as of August 25, 2005;
and
|
|
·
|
On
September 30, 2005, we completed the sale of 7,104,160 shares of our
common stock to KI Equity for $415,000 (the "Investment"), with the net
proceeds of the Investment being paid to ASAP pursuant to the terms of the
Transfer Agreement.
|
In
connection with the closing of the Investment, our then current directors and
officers resigned, and Kevin Keating was appointed the sole director and officer
of the Company. We accounted for the Company Reorganization as a reverse spinoff
in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. (“EITF”) 02-11,
“Accounting for Reverse
Spinoffs.” In a reverse spinoff, the legal spinnee (ASAP) is treated as
though it were the spinnor for accounting purposes. Reverse spinoff accounting
is appropriate as the treatment of the legal spinnee as the accounting spinnor
results in the most accurate depiction of the substance of the transaction for
shareholders and other users of the consolidated financials statements. Under
this treatment, the historical financial statements of the Company became the
historical financial statements of ASAP. In making its determination, the
Company considered the following indicators, among others: (i) the accounting
spinnor (legal spinnee, ASAP) is larger than the accounting spinnee (legal
spinnor, the Company); (ii) the fair value of the accounting spinnor (legal
spinnee) is greater than that of the accounting spinnee (legal spinnor); (iii)
the accounting spinnor (legal spinnee) retains the senior management of the
formerly combined entity; and (iv) the accounting spinnor (legal spinnee)
retains senior management. As a result of the Company Reorganization, the
Company became a shell company with nominal assets and operations, with a
business purpose being to identify, evaluate and complete a business combination
with an operating company.
Change in Control
Transaction
On
July 7, 2006, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with KI Equity
Partners LLC, Prime Fortune Enterprises Ltd. (“Prime”), the equity owners of
Prime, namely, Mr. Chung Kwok, Ms. Po Nei Sze and Prime Corporate Developments
Limited (the “Prime Shareholders”), and Hamptons Investment Group Ltd.
(“Hamptons”) (collectively the “Infosmart BVI Shareholders”) to acquire all of
the equity ownership of Infosmart Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands
company (“Infosmart BVI”) through the acquisition of Prime, the former 100%
direct equity owner and holding company of Infosmart BVI. Under the terms of the
Exchange Agreement, immediately prior to the closing of the share exchange
transaction, Hamptons was to receive 58.82352 shares of Prime’s capital stock as
payment for its services as a finder in connection with the exchange
transaction.
However,
on August 11, 2006 and prior to the closing of the share exchange transaction,
Prime’s and Infosmart BVI’s board of directors and their respective shareholders
agreed to restructure the ownership of Infosmart BVI’s issued capital stock,
resulting in the transfer of the entire equity ownership of Infosmart BVI
directly to Mr. Chung Kwok, Ms. Po Nei Sze and Prime Corporate Developments
Limited. On August 14, 2006, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the
Exchange Agreement with KI Equity, Prime, the equity owners of Prime, Infosmart
BVI, the equity owners of Infosmart BVI (which also consisted of Mr. Chung Kwok,
Ms. Lui Sau Wan and Prime Corporate Developments Limited), and Hamptons, whereby
Infosmart BVI and the Infosmart BVI Shareholders replaced Prime and the Prime
Shareholders as a parties to the Exchange Agreement, and they assumed all of
Prime’s and the Prime Shareholders’ obligations, representations, warranties,
liabilities and responsibilities under the Exchange Agreement, including Prime’s
obligation to issue the shares of stock to compensate Hamptons for its services
immediately prior to the closing of the share exchange transaction. Pursuant to
the Exchange Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Company acquired
all of the outstanding shares of Infosmart BVI’s capital stock from the equity
owners of Infosmart BVI and Hamptons, and the Infosmart BVI Shareholders
transferred and contributed all of their Infosmart BVI shares to the Company. In
exchange, the Company issued to the Infosmart BVI Shareholders 1,000,000 shares
of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, which were convertible into
116,721,360 shares of the Company’s common stock.
2
The
closing of the Exchange Agreement was contingent on a minimum of $7,000,000
being subscribed for, and funded into escrow, by certain accredited and
institutional investors (“Investors”) for the purchase of shares of the
Company’s Series B Preferred Stock promptly after the closing of the Exchange
Agreement under terms and conditions approved by the Company’s board of
directors immediately following the Exchange Agreement (the “Financing”). The
closing of the Financing was contingent on the closing of the Exchange
Agreement, and the Exchange Agreement was contingent on the closing of the
Financing.
Recent
Financing
Immediately
following the closing of the Exchange Agreement, we received gross proceeds of
approximately $7.65 million in connection with the Financing from the Investors.
Pursuant to Subscription Agreements entered into with these Investors, we sold
1,092,857.143 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock at a price per share of
$7.00. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our
common stock. The Company registered the common stock underlying the Series B
Preferred Stock issued in the Financing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for resale by the Investors. After commissions and expenses, we
received net proceeds of approximately $6.89 million in the
Financing.
In
connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock to the Investors,
the Company issued warrants to the Investors to purchase an aggregate of
29,310,345 shares of common stock, on as-converted basis, of the Company. The
warrants have an exercise price of $0.326 per share, subject to
adjustments.
Keating
Securities, LLC and Axiom Capital Management, Inc. (“Placement Agents”) acted as
placement agent in connection with the Financing. For their services, the
Placement Agents received a commission equal to 8% of the gross proceeds from
the Financing and a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 2% of the gross
proceeds. In addition, the Placement Agents received, for nominal consideration,
five-year warrants to purchase 10% of the number of shares of common stock into
which the Series B Preferred Stock issued in the Financing may be converted
(“Placement Agent Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable
at any time at a price equal 125% of the conversion price, on a net-issuance or
cashless basis. The Placement Agent Warrants have registration rights similar to
the registration rights afforded to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and
Warrants. The Company also paid for the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Placement Agent and all purchasers in the amount of $25,000.
Upon
completion of the exchange transaction, and after giving effect to the
Financing, the Infosmart BVI Shareholders owned 1,000,000 shares of the
Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, and the Investors in the aggregate received
1,092,857.143 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred
Stock automatically converted into 116,721,360 shares of common stock upon the
filing and approval of a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of
Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of California on October
12, 2006. Immediately after the exchange transaction, the Infosmart BVI
Shareholders and the Investors owned, in the aggregate, 91.84% of our issued and
outstanding shares of common stock after giving effect to the conversion of the
Series A and Series B Preferred Stock into common stock, and the Company’s
stockholders immediately prior to the exchange transaction owned 8.16% of the
outstanding common stock (or, 12,969,040 shares of our common stock) after
giving effect to the conversion of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock
into common stock.
The
issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares to the Infosmart BVI Shareholders and,
upon conversion, the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Series
A Preferred Shares, was intended to be exempt from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to
Regulation S promulgated thereunder. The issuance of the Series B Preferred
Shares to Investors was intended to be exempt from registration under the
Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and such other available
exemptions. As such, the Series A Preferred Shares and the Series B Preferred
Shares, and upon conversion thereof, the Company’s common stock, may not be
offered or sold in the United States unless they are registered under the
Securities Act, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act is available.
Name Change and Increase in
Authorized Shares of Common Stock
On
October 12, 2006, the Company effected an increase in the number of authorized
shares of the Company’s common stock from 40,000,000 shares to 300,000,000
shares and also effected a change of the Company’s corporate name (the “Name
Change”) to “Infosmart Group, Inc.” (the “Amendments”) through the filing of a
Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the
State of California’s Secretary of State. Per the conversion rights set forth in
the Certificate of Determination for the Series A Preferred Stock, upon filing
and acceptance of the Amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, all
of the Series A Preferred Stock were automatically converted into approximately
116,721,360 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company’s Name Change and
its trading symbol (OTCBB: IFSG) became effective on the OTC Bulletin Board on
October 18, 2006.

Infosmart
BVI
History
Infosmart
Group Limited (“Infosmart BVI”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands
on August 23, 2005 under the International Business Companies Act of the British
Virgin Islands. Prior to the Restructuring (as described above), Prime Fortune
Enterprises Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Prime”), was the sole
equity owner and shareholder of 100% of Infosmart BVI’s issued capital shares.
In August 2006, the board of directors of both Prime and Infosmart BVI decided
to restructure certain shareholdings in Infosmart BVI so that after the
Restructuring, Prime would no longer own 100% of Infosmart BVI’s issued capital
shares and so that Prime Corporate Developments Ltd. (“Prime Corporate”), Mr.
Chung Kwok and Ms. Sau Wan Lui would replace Prime as the direct owners of 100%
of the issued capital shares and equity ownership of Infosmart BVI.
Prior to
the Restructuring, Prime owned 100% of the issued capital shares of Infosmart
BVI, which consisted of one (1) issued capital share, and Prime’s issued capital
shares were owned as follows: 713 shares held by Prime Corporate, 212 shares
held by Mr. Chung Kwok, and 75 shares held by Lui Sau Wan. On August 11, 2006,
in connection with the Restructuring, Prime’s board of directors approved
resolutions for Prime to transfer the one (1) issued capital share of Infosmart
BVI owned by Prime to Prime shareholder Chung Kwok in exchange for a cash
payment of $1.00 (the “Prime Transfer”), and that pursuant to such resolutions,
Prime transferred the one Infosmart BVI share to Chung Kwok on August 11, 2006
in exchange for the $1.00 cash payment.
Further,
on August 11, 2006 and concurrent with the Prime Transfer, Infosmart BVI’s Board
approved resolutions for the issuance of 999 new shares in Infosmart BVI to
Prime Corporate Developments Limited (“Prime Corporate”), Chung Kwok and Lui Sau
Wan, as follows: 713 shares to Prime Corporate, 211 shares to Chung Kwok, and 75
shares to Lui Sau Wan, in exchange for a cash payment by Prime Corporate, Chung
Kwok and Lui Sau Wan of $1.00 per Infosmart BVI share that each receives (the
“Infosmart BVI Share Issuance”) or an aggregate total payment of $999 for such
shares. On August 11, 2006, Infosmart BVI issued the 999 Infosmart BVI shares,
in amounts as described above, to Prime Corporate, Chung Kwok and Lui Sau Wan
and, in exchange, received the $999 cash payment, pursuant to such
resolutions.
As a
result of and immediately after the Prime Transfer and the Infosmart BVI Share
Issuance, Prime Corporate, Mr. Chung Kwok and Ms. Sau Wan Lui became the owners
of 100% of the issued capital shares of Infosmart BVI, with each of them owning
the same number of Infosmart BVI shares as the number of Prime shares that each
currently owns. Pursuant to a group reorganization completed in October 2005
(the “Infosmart BVI Reorganization”), Infosmart BVI is the holding company
(directly and indirectly) of IS Technology, IS International, IS Media, and
Discobras.
Infosmart
BVI started in the DVDR manufacturing business with the establishment of IS
Technology. Founded in Hong Kong in August of 2002, IS Technology was the first
company in Hong Kong to manufacture recordable digital versatile discs. With the
continual growth in DVDR demand, the initial shareholders of IS Technology took
in other shareholders to form two other companies, IS International and IS Media
Limited, to produce DVDRs. , In December 2006, IS Media acquired 100% of the
issued and outstanding common stock of Infoscience Holdings Limited (“IS
Holdings”). IS Media has a Cooperation Agreement with IS Holdings wherein it
manufactures its DVDRs using certain patent licenses owned by IS Holdings till
2009. IS Media disposed 100% of the issued and outstanding common
stock of Infoscience Holdings Limited (“IS Holdings”) since IS Media obtained
the patent licenses through the DVD Recordable Disc Patent License Agreement
with Sony Corporation effective from January 1, 2010 onwards. In Sepetember
2008, IS Media acquired 50% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Manwin
International Limited (“IS Manwin”) to produce blu-ray discs. These four
companies and Discobras now form the Company’s main operational business in Hong
Kong and Brazil respectively.
Current Organizational
Structure
As a
result of the share exchange transaction, the Company Reorganization, the
Infosmart BVI Reorganization, the Restructuring, and subsequent acquisitions of
new subsidiaries, the Company’s current organizational structure is as follows
(the percentages depict the current equity interests):

Our
Business
We
develop, manufacture, market and sell 8x and 16x writable speed DVDRs and 52x
writable speed CDRs, and we are manufacturing of Blu-Ray format DVDR discs. In
order to act as a one-stop-shop for the optical storage media needs for our
customers, we also outsource orders for products we do not produce ourselves,
such as DVD±RW discs and DVD-RAM discs and other low margin DVDR items. We have
customers in Western Europe, China, South America and Australia. To capture the
South American market, we have established a sales and distribution network in
Brazil and set up a DVDR production facility in Brazil, and we have a
subsidiary, Portabello, that distributes and resells our recordable digital
versatile discs and media to customers in South America.
Current
Products
We
currently develop, manufacture, market and sell recordable digital versatile
discs (“DVDRs”). A DVDR is an optical disc storage media format that can be used
for data storage, including movies with high video and sound quality. DVDRs are
manufactured with different writable speed ratings. The writable speed ratings
of blank DVDRs match the speed at which the recording lasers in digital
versatile disc (“DVD”) drives (such as those found in DVD players or the DVD
disc drives in computers) can write or “burn” data onto the DVDRs. Currently,
most DVD drives are able to write or “burn” data onto DVDRs at 8 times (“8x”) or
16 times (“16x”) the industry set standard speed for writing or “burning” data
onto a DVDR disc. We manufacture discs with 8x and 16x writable speed ratings.
We estimate that our sales of our 8x writable speed DVDRs account for
approximately 60% of our output, while 16x writable speed DVDRs make up
approximately 40% of our output.
In
December 2007, we stopped producing CDRs in Hong Kong and began producing DVDRs
due to higher margins from DVDRs as compared to CDRs. However, in
order to ensure “one-stop” shopping to our customers in our distribution
channels, we outsource the production of our CDRs and devote more resources to
the manufacture of DVDRs. In September 2008, we launched producing
Blu-ray Discs in Hong Kong.

Manufacturing
We
currently operate two factories in both Hong Kong and Brazil, with a combined
production capacity of approximately 15 million 8x, 16x writable speed, single
layer DVDRs and CDRs per month. . Currently, our product mix is approximately
60% of 8x DVDRs, approximately 40% of 16x DVDRs, and approximately 60% of CDRs.
We have the flexibility to switch production easily between the two product
types. After manufacturing the DVDRs and CDRs, we put our products through a
rigorous quality assurance process. Our Quality Management System complies
with ISO9001:2000 requirements, and we are ISO 9000 certified. As a
result of the Blu-ray format DVD prevailing over the HD-DVD in the battle of
dominating the future format of DVDR, we purchased the first set of Blu-ray DVD
production replication systems in the China/Hong Kong region in order to meet
the demands in the high definition media storage market
Intellectual
Properties and Licenses
Our
subsidiary Infoscience Media Limited (“IS Media”) entered into a cooperation
agreement (“Cooperation Agreement”) with Infoscience Holdings Limited, a then
independent third party and currently a subsidiary of IS Media (“IS Holdings”),
on December 1, 2005. Under the Cooperation Agreement, the parties agreed to
operationally combine their production facilities so that both IS Media and IS
Holdings could both produce DVDRs at their combined facilities using certain
intellectual properties for the production of DVDRs for which IS Holdings holds
patent licenses (the “Patent License”) for use from the DVDR developer (the
“License Agreement”) and also a right to manufacture DVDRs under a government
manufacturing license (the ”Manufacturing License”) held by IS Holdings. IS
Holdings also agreed that IS Media shall have full legal and beneficial
ownership of the first 5,000,000 DVDR discs (the “Second Minimum Quantity”)
produced in both IS Media’s and IS Holding’s production facilities (the
“Combined Facilities”) for each whole month during the one year term of the
Cooperation Agreement.
In
exchange, IS Media agreed: (1) IS Holdings shall receive full legal and
beneficial ownership of all DVDRs produced in the Combined Facilities that are
in excess of the Second Minimum Quantity; and (2) to provide IS Holdings with
stand-by credit of not more than HK$30,000,000 from IS Media’s own sources or
indirectly from any third party including any licensed Hong Kong bank. Under the
Cooperation Agreement, IS Holdings is responsible for paying all the relevant
licensee fees, and IS Media is responsible for all the recurrent costs and
expenses (except for rent and public utilities, for which each party is
responsible for the costs they incur in their own production facility) incurred
for the production of all DVDR products manufactured in the Combined Facilities
during the one year term of the Cooperation Agreement.
IS Media
purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of IS Holdings on December 1, 2006 by
entering into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with New Passion Investments
Limited. Thus, the Company now indirectly owns the Manufacturing
License and Patent License. The Cooperation Agreement was extended
for a further 2 years until December 31, 2009.
The
patent license held by IS Holdings was obtained through a joint patent licensing
program (the “DVDR Patent License Program”) that is administered by Koninklijke
Philips Electronics, N.V. (“Philips”). Parties acquiring the patent licenses
through this DVDR Patent License Program are allowed to use patents owned (or
for which these companies have patent applications pending) by participating
companies including Philips, Sony, Hewlett Packard and/or Pioneer that are
essential in the DVDR manufacturing process. The patent license offered through
Philips’ DVDR Patent Licensing Program is offered under non-discriminatory terms
and conditions and, in principle, is available to all
manufacturers.
In
connection with the completion of the Discobras DVDR production facility in
Brazil, we started the process of obtaining the required patent license for use
of intellectual property. Discobras has satisfied the relevant
governmental requirements in Brazil to produce DVDRs in its production facility.
The patent license, however, is currently being negotiated with the relevant
owners of the patent which are overseas companies located outside of Brazil, and
the Brazilian government must approve the patent license.
The
patent license held by IS Holdings was expired and written off in
2009. IS Media obtained the patent licenses through the DVD
Recordable Disc Patent License Agreement with Sony Corporation effective from
January 1, 2010 onwards

Sources
and Availability of Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers
Raw
material costs constitute approximately 60% of the production costs for DVDR and
CDR discs. Key materials used in DVDR production are polycarbonate, silver
target, organic dye, printing oil and bonding glue. The most important cost item
is polycarbonate, which accounts for about half of cost of goods
sold.
The
supply market for polycarbonate is competitive. Major polycarbonate suppliers
include Teijin Chemicals, Dow Chemical, General Electric, Bayer, and Mitsubishi.
We order polycarbonate from a variety of sources depending on price and
availability. Since polycarbonate is a petroleum byproduct, its price is
affected by crude oil prices and can be volatile. We place three (3) month
supply contracts with polycarbonate vendors. These supply contracts guarantee
quantity but leave pricing to be determined by the market.
Polycarbonate prices increased from
$1.90 - 2.50/kg in 2004 to around $2.80/kg - $3.50/kg in 2005 because of surging
oil prices and supply constraints, thereby seriously cutting the profit margins
of disc manufacturers worldwide. Capacity was hit in 2004 by the explosion of
GE’s PCB factory in Spain. At the end of 2005, worldwide polycarbonate capacity
expanded as a major new factory came online in Shanghai, and two other large
factories in Japan and the U.S. expanded output in response to higher market
prices. Polycarbonate prices were approximately $3.00/kg - $3.10/kg at the
beginning of 2006 and dropped into the $2.80-$3.10 range at the end of 2006. We
have worked closely with polycarbonate suppliers as we are a bulk volume
purchaser for production in Hong Kong and Brazil, and we were able to negotiate
prices to about $2.618/kg at the end of 2007, $2.6/kg for 2008 and $2.7/kg for
2009.
Marketing
and Distribution
More than
90% of our sales are to wholesalers and distributors who resell to retailers. We
have increased our exposure in Europe, USA, South America, the Middle East, Asia
and China through our
marketing efforts and attendance at trade shows such as:

During
2007, and as a result of our operations in Brazil, we established our brands
“LASERLINE” and “HONGTEK” in the Brazilian and South American
markets. We will continue direct sales efforts into these markets in
2008 as such efforts have proven effective even though we outsource products
from other suppliers.
We also
anticipate the increased use of Portabello and Infoscience Media Global Limited
in marketing to small-scale distributors in South America and the China/Hong
Kong region, respectively.
Current
Customers
We have
established a wide client base and distribution network covering Europe/United
Kingdom, the Middle East, Australia, South America and Asia.
Our top
three customers by value, who accounted for 39.67% of our revenue in 2009, are
as follows:
|
·
|
Vivid
Lead International Ltd markets our DVDR blank media in China. Sales to
Vivid Lead International Ltd account for approximately 12.60% of our
revenue.
|
|
·
|
Dream
Midias Limited markets our DVDR blank media in Brazil. Sales to Dream
Midias Limited account for approximately 5% of our
revenue.
|
|
·
|
Auzykle
Limited markets our DVDR blank media in Brazil. Sales to Auzykle Limited
account for approximately 4% of our
revenue.
|
10
Management
expects that the proportion of revenue accounted for by these customers will
decrease as its markets develop in South America. We will be careful to maintain
relationships with existing customers in developed countries because they are
expected to be volume buyers of our Blu-ray discs in the
future. During 2008, we considered the products competing with DVDRs
such as flash cards and took a pro-active approach in marketing our own brand of
flash cards with core technology patented by a Taiwan company.
Our
pricing and payment terms are flexible. Our objective is to build a strong base
of loyal customers, and management will offer competitive prices to capture
market share in specific markets that have strong growth prospects. Our payment
terms are more stringent for new customers and more flexible for long-term
customers and established businesses.
In the
Brazilian market, our DVDR facilities have already been running at full capacity
but are not, yet, able to satisfy customer demands. We have been
transporting some of our DVDR output to Brazil from Hong Kong, which takes about
60-75 days for shipment and customs clearance. We have granted about 60-90 days
credit with a certain amount of deposits from wholesaling customers and
distributors. We have exercised tight credit control in the
South American market and, due to the strong market demand, we have recently
reduced our credit period.
Competition
Products
We
currently produce Single Layer (“SL”) DVDR discs of two writable speeds (8x and
16x) and CDR discs of 52x writable speed, but we are preparing to launch
production of DVDR discs in either High Density or Blu-Ray formats. The table
and discussion below describe some competitor products:

Optical
storage media, hard discs, USB drives and flash memory are the most commonly
used computer storage media. Hard discs have up to 500GB of capacity, cost
around $0.75/GB and are the most economical choice for large storage needs. The
hard disc, however, is less versatile, more fragile and harder to install than
optical storage media; it is also bulky and has poor portability.
Both USB
drives and flash memory are compact in size, provide great portability and
reusability, but are relatively expensive and have limited storage capacity
(maximum only 1-2 GB). These devices are mainly used to store computer and
music/home video files where portability is required. Floppy disc capacity is
too small for multimedia or today’s software files.
For full
movies or computer file backups recordable compact discs and DVDRs offer large
(from 750MB to 9.4GB) and economical (from $0.18 to $0.80 per disc) storage
solutions. Rewritable DVDR discs (“DVD±RW”) are reusable but are more expensive,
and therefore less popular, than write-once DVDR discs that we
produce.
The
victory of the Blu-ray DVD over the HD-DVD means that the market is looking for
highly-compact data storage media and higher resolutions for entertainment
content. This means that consumers are willing to pay higher prices
for a better entertainment experience. We are exploring this
opportunity in order to establish a product with higher margins for the
Company. We do, however, foresee that the DVDR market will continue
to contribute significantly to our revenue and profits, particularly in the
South American markets. The strategy of having a whole array of
storage media products distributed in our channels enables our own distribution
network to have a “one-stop” product source with the Company as a way to
mitigate competition in the same channels.
11
Competitor
Companies
Our
competitors are numerous and include companies such as CMC Magnetics, Ritek, NBI
and UME Disc Group. Some of our competitors have significantly larger
manufacturing market share, but that is not necessarily indicative of greater
profitability. We believe that we have achieved optimal capacity and can match
the lowest single layer DVDR production costs anywhere in the
industry.
Government
Regulation and Probability of Affecting Business
The
development of our products is generally not subject to government regulation.
However, because we market and sell our products in other countries, importation
and exportation regulations may impact our activities. A breach of these laws or
regulations may result in the imposition of penalties or fines, suspension or
revocation of licenses. We are not currently involved in any such judicial or
administrative proceedings and believe that we are in compliance with all
applicable regulations.
Although
it is impossible to predict with certainty the effect that additional
importation and exportation requirements and other regulations may have on
future earnings and operations, we are presently unaware of any future
regulations that may have a material effect on our financial position, but
cannot rule out the possibility.
Employees
As of
December 31, 2009, we had 100 full-time employees, including management. None of
these employees are represented by any collective bargaining agreements. Neither
we nor any of the subsidiaries have experienced a work stoppage. Management
believes that our relations with our employees are good.
ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the
other information included in this report before making an investment decision
with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated into
this offering that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that
are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If
any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or
results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our
common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your
investment.
Risks
Relating to Our Business
Our
limited operating history makes evaluation of our business
difficult.
We have a
limited operating history. Infosmart BVI was incorporated in the British Virgin
Islands on August 23, 2005, and IS Technology was founded in August of 2002.
These limited operating histories and the unpredictability of our industry make
it difficult for investors to evaluate our business and future operating
results. An investor in our securities must consider the risks, uncertainties
and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in new and rapidly evolving
markets. The risks and difficulties we face include challenges in accurate
financial planning as a result of limited historical data and the uncertainties
resulting from having had a relatively limited time period in which to implement
and evaluate our business strategies as compared to older companies with longer
operating histories.
We
continually seek to develop new products and standards, which may not be widely
adopted by consumers or, if adopted, may reduce demand by consumers for our
older products.
We
continually seek to develop new products and standards and enhance existing
products and standards with higher memory capacities and other enhanced
features. We cannot assure you that our new products and standards will gain
market acceptance or that we will be successful in penetrating the new markets
that we target. As we introduce new products and standards, it will take time
for these new products and standards to be adopted, for consumers to accept and
transition to these new products and standards and for significant sales to be
generated from them, if this happens at all. Moreover, broad acceptance of new
products and standards by consumers may reduce demand for our older products and
standards. If this decreased demand is not offset by increased demand for our
new products and standards, our results of operations could be harmed. We cannot
assure you that any new products or standards we develop will be commercially
successful.
Our
future operating results may fluctuate and cause the price of our common stock
to decline.
We expect
that our revenues and operating results will continue to fluctuate significantly
from quarter to quarter due to various factors, many of which are beyond our
control. The factors that could cause our operating results to fluctuate
include, but are not limited to:
|
●
|
price
competition;
|
|
●
|
general
price increases by suppliers and
manufacturers;
|
12
|
●
|
our
ability to maintain and expand our customer
relationships;
|
|
●
|
the
introduction of new or enhanced products and strategic alliances by us and
our competitors;
|
|
●
|
the
success of our brand-building and marketing
campaigns;
|
|
●
|
consumer
acceptance of our products and general shifts in consumer behavior with
respect to our industry;
|
|
●
|
our
ability to maintain, upgrade and develop our production facilities and
infrastructure;
|
|
●
|
technical
difficulties and system downtime;
|
|
●
|
the
amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to
expansion of our business, operations and
infrastructure;
|
|
●
|
general
economic conditions as well as economic conditions specific to our
industry; and
|
|
●
|
our
ability to attract and retain qualified management and
employees.
|
If our
revenues or operating results fall below the expectations of investors or
securities analysts, the price of our common stock could significantly
decline.
Our
ability to manage our future growth is uncertain.
We are
currently anticipating a period of growth as a result of our corporate growth
strategy, which aims to, among other things, further develop our manufacturing
capabilities, expand our product offerings, and reach new customers. In pursuing
these objectives, the resulting strain on our managerial, operational, financial
and other resources could be significant. Success in managing such expansion and
growth will depend, in part, upon the ability of senior management to manage
effectively. Any failure to manage the anticipated growth and expansion could
have a material adverse effect on our business.
Increased
product returns will decrease our revenues and impact
profitability.
We do not
make allowances for product returns in our financial statements based on the
fact that we have not had a material historical return rate. In order to keep
product returns low, we continuously monitor product purchases and returns and
may change our product offerings based on the rates of returns. If our actual
product returns significantly increase, especially as we expand into new product
categories, our revenues and profitability could decrease. Any changes in our
policies related to product returns may result in customer dissatisfaction and
fewer repeat customers.
Our
growth and operating results could be impaired if we are unable to meet our
future capital needs.
We may
need to raise additional capital in the future to:
|
●
|
fund
more rapid expansion;
|
|
●
|
acquire
or expand into new facilities;
|
|
●
|
maintain,
enhance and further develop our manufacturing
systems;
|
|
●
|
develop
new product categories or enhanced
services;
|
|
●
|
fund
acquisitions; or
|
|
●
|
respond
to competitive pressures.
|
If we
raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, the
percentage ownership of our stockholders will be diluted. Furthermore, any new
securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our
preferred shares and the common stock into which our preferred shares are
convertible. We cannot be certain that additional financing will be available
when and to the extent required or that, if available, it will be on acceptable
terms. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be
able to fund our expansion, develop or enhance our products or services or
respond to competitive pressures.
13
The
loss of key senior management personnel could negatively affect our
business.
We depend
on the continued services and performance of our senior management and other key
personnel, particularly Parker Seto, our Chief Executive Officer and President,
and Sebastian Tseng, our Regional Director for South America and V.P. of
Production and R&D. The loss of any of our executive officers or other key
employees could harm our business. Infosmart BVI currently has employment
agreements with its key personnel. Further, we expect to assume
the employment agreements our executive officers currently have
with Infosmart BVI that are described in more detail in the section titled
“Executive Compensation - Employment Agreements” in this annual
report.
Rapid
changes in technology could adversely affect our business and hurt our
competitive position.
We
believe that our ability to increase sales by developing appealing, innovative
products has an important role to play in our growth. However, it is extremely
difficult to predict future demand in the rapidly changing storage media
industry and develop new technologies to meet that demand. We may fail to
develop and supply in a timely manner attractive, new products with innovative
technologies for this industry and its markets. In the event that our management
misreads the industry and market and/or is slow in developing innovative
technologies on a cost competitive basis, actual earnings could differ
significantly from our forecasts. At the same time, we may cease to be able to
compete in markets, resulting in a significant adverse effect on our business
results and growth prospects.
The
patents required for manufacturing our DVDR products are owned by multiple
companies. Our failure to obtain all of the required patents to manufacture our
products may interfere with our current or future product development and
sales.
We have
never conducted a comprehensive patent search relating to the technology we use
in our products. The Patent Licenses held by IS Holdings with whom we have a
Cooperation Agreement were obtained through a joint patent licensing program
(the “DVDR Patent License Program”) that is administered by Koninklijke Philips
Electronics, N.V. (“Philips”). Parties acquiring the patent licenses through
this DVDR Patent License Program are allowed to use patents owned by companies
including Philips, Sony, Pioneer and/or Hewlett Packard (or for which such
companies have patent applications pending) that are essential for manufacturing
DVDR products. However, there may be other issued or pending patents owned by
third parties that are required for manufacturing our products for which IS
Holdings does not have a patent license. If so, we could incur substantial costs
defending against patent infringement claims, or we could even be blocked from
selling our products. We cannot determine with certainty whether any other
existing third party patents or the issuance of any new third party patents
would require us or IS Holdings to alter, or obtain licenses relating to, our
processes or products, or implement alternative non-infringing approaches, all
at a significant additional cost to the Company. There is no assurance that we
or IS Holdings will be able to obtain any such licenses on terms favorable to
us, if at all, and obtaining and paying royalties on new licenses might
materially increase our costs. Additionally, the fees in respect of existing
licenses could increase materially in the future when these licenses are
renewed, and such increase may have a significantly and adversely impact our
business.
We
may be unable to retain our Hong Kong business customs license for our
manufacturing facilities in Hong Kong
The Hong
Kong government requires companies manufacturing DVDRs to obtain a business
license for the manufacture of optical Disc/Stampers (the “Hong Kong Business
License”) from the Customs and Excise Department of Hong Kong. We currently
manufacture our products under the Hong Kong Business License held by IS
Holdings under the Cooperation Agreement. If IS Holdings loses its Hong Kong
Business License or we lose our rights under the Cooperation Agreement, there is
no guarantee that we will be able to otherwise obtain the Hong Kong Business
Licenses necessary to operate our manufacturing facilities in Hong
Kong.
Our
business may suffer if we are sued for infringing upon the intellectual property
rights of third parties.
There may
be cases where it is alleged that our products infringe on the intellectual
property rights of third parties. As a result, we may suffer damages or may be
sued for damages. In either case, settlement negotiations and legal procedures
would be inevitable and could be expected to be lengthy and expensive. If our
assertions are not accepted in such disputes, we may have to pay damages and
royalties and suffer losses such as the loss of our market share. The failure to
prevent infringement on the rights of others could have a materially adverse
effect on our business development, business results and financial
condition.
We
are dependent on certain raw materials and other products, and our business will
suffer if we are unable to procure such materials and products.
Our
manufacturing systems are premised on deliveries of raw materials and other
supplies in adequate quality and quantity in a timely manner from many external
suppliers. In new product development, we may rely on certain irreplaceable
suppliers for materials. Because of this, there may be cases where supplies of
raw materials and other products to us are interrupted by an accident or some
other event at a supplier, supply being suspended due to quality or other
issues, or a shortage of or instability in supply due to a rapid increase in
demand for finished products that use certain materials and products. If any of
these situations becomes protracted, we may have difficulty finding substitutes
in a timely manner from other suppliers, which could have a significant, adverse
effect on our production and prevent us from fulfilling our responsibilities to
supply products to our customers. Furthermore, if an imbalance arises in the
supply-demand equation, there could be a spike in the price of raw materials. In
the event of these or other similar occurrences, there could be a material
adverse effect on our business results and financial condition.
14
We
compete in a highly competitive industry where some of our competitors are
larger and have more resources than we do.
We
operate in a highly competitive environment. We have competitors that are both
larger and smaller than we are in terms of resources and market share. The
marketplaces in which we operate are generally characterized by rapid
technological change, frequent new product introductions and declining prices.
In these highly competitive markets, our success will depend to a significant
extent on our ability to continue to develop and introduce differentiated and
innovative products and customer solutions successfully and on a timely basis.
The success of our product offerings is dependent on several factors including
understanding customer needs, strong digital technology, differentiation from
competitive offerings, market acceptance and lower costs. Although we believe
that we can take the necessary steps to meet the competitive challenges of these
marketplaces, no assurance can be given with regard to our ability to take these
steps, the actions of competitors, some of which will have greater resources
than us, or the pace of technological changes.
Technology
in our industry evolves rapidly, potentially causing our products to become
obsolete, and we must continue to enhance existing systems and develop new
systems, or we will lose sales.
Rapid
technological advances, rapidly changing customer requirements and fluctuations
in demand characterize the current market for our products. Further, there are
alternative data storage media, and additional media is under development,
including high capacity hard drives, new CD-R/DVDR technologies, file servers
accessible through computer networks and the Internet. Our existing and
development-stage products may become obsolete if our competitors introduce
newer or more appealing technologies. If these technologies are patented by or
are proprietary to our competitors, then we may not be able to access these
technologies. We believe that we must continue to innovate and anticipate
advances in the storage media industry in order to remain competitive. If we
fail to anticipate or respond to technological developments or customer
requirements, or if we are significantly delayed in developing and introducing
products, our business will suffer in sales.
Our
market is becoming more competitive. Competition may result in price reductions,
lower gross profits and loss of market share.
The
storage media industry is becoming more competitive, and we face the potential
for increased competition in developing and selling our products. Our
competitors may have or could develop or acquire significant marketing,
financial, development and personnel resources. We cannot assure you that we
will be able to compete successfully against our current or future competitors.
The storage media industry has increased visibility, which may lead to large,
well-known, well-financed companies entering into this market. Increased
competition from manufacturers of systems or consumable supplies may result in
price reductions, lower gross profit margins, increased discounts to
distribution and loss of market share and could require increased spending by us
on research and development, sales and marketing and customer
support.
If
we are unable to compete effectively with existing or new competitors, the loss
of our competitive position could result in price reductions, fewer customer
orders, reduced revenues, reduced margins, reduced levels of profitability and
loss of market share.
We have
several competitors, which include the largest DVDR manufacturers in the world.
Certain of these competitors compete aggressively on price and seek to maintain
very low cost structures. Some of these competitors are seeking to increase
their market share, which creates increased pressure, including pricing
pressure, within the market. In addition, certain of the competitors have
financial and human resources that are substantially greater than ours, which
increases the competitive pressures we face. Customers make buying decisions
based on many factors, including among other things, new product and service
offerings and features; product performance and quality; ease of doing business;
a vendor’s ability to adapt to customers’ changing requirements; responsiveness
to shifts in the marketplace; business model; contractual terms and conditions;
vendor reputation and vendor viability. As competition increases, each factor on
which we compete becomes more important and the lack of competitive advantage
with respect to one or more of these factors could lead to a loss of competitive
position, resulting in fewer customer orders, reduced revenues, reduced margins,
reduced levels of profitability and loss of market share. We expect competitive
pressure to remain intense.
The
products we make have a life cycle. If we are unable to successfully time market
entry and exit and manage our inventory, we may fail to enter profitable markets
or exit unprofitable markets.
We
operate in a highly competitive, quickly changing environment. The victory of
the Blu-Ray format DVD over the HD-DVD may accelerate the phase-out and
technological obsolescence of our current DVDR production machine which produces
our current production lines, which would result in impairment in
value. Also, as the market has turned to the Blu-ray DVD, we must
purchase new equipment to product Blu-ray DVDR discs, and thus our business and
operating results could be adversely affected. Further, if strong competitors
challenge us in Brazil and other key markets, we will need to quickly develop an
adequate competitive response. If we fail to accurately anticipate market and
technological trends, then our business and operating results could be
materially and adversely affected.
15
We must
also be able to manufacture the products at acceptable costs. This requires us
to be able to accurately forecast customer demand so that it can procure the
appropriate inputs at optimal costs. We must also try to reduce the levels of
older product inventories to minimize inventory write-offs. If we have excess
inventory, it may be necessary to reduce its prices and write down inventory,
which could result in lower gross margins. Additionally, our customers may delay
orders for existing 8x or 16x writable speed DVDR products in anticipation of
Blu-Ray product introductions. As a result, we may decide to adjust prices of
existing products during this process to try to increase customer demand for
these products. Our future operating results would be materially and adversely
affected if such pricing adjustments were to occur and we are unable to mitigate
the resulting margin pressure by maintaining a favorable mix of products, or if
we are unsuccessful in achieving input cost reductions, operating efficiencies
and increasing sales volumes.
If we are
unable to timely develop, manufacture, and introduce new products in sufficient
quantity to meet customer demand at acceptable costs, or if we are unable to
correctly anticipate customer demand for our new and existing products, then our
business and operating results could be materially adversely
affected.
If
our products fail to compete successfully with other existing or newly-developed
products for the storage media industry, our business will suffer.
The
success of our products depends upon end users choosing our DVDR technology for
their storage media needs. However, alternative data storage media exist, such
as high capacity hard drives, new CD-R/DVDR technologies, file servers
accessible through computer networks and the Internet, and additional media is
under development. If end users perceive any technology that competes with ours
as more reliable, higher performing, less expensive or having other advantages
over our technology, the demand for our DVDR products could decrease. Further,
some of our competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative
relationships with suppliers or companies that produce complementary products
such as cameras, computer equipment, software or biometric applications.
Competition from other storage media is likely to increase. If our products do
not compete successfully with existing or new competitive products, our business
will suffer.
Our
products may have manufacturing or design defects that we discover after
shipment, which could negatively affect our revenues, increase our costs and
harm our reputation.
Our
products may contain undetected and unexpected defects, errors or failures. If
these product defects are substantial, the result could be product recalls, an
increased amount of product returns, loss of market acceptance and damage to our
reputation, all of which could increase our costs and cause us to lose sales. We
do not carry general commercial liability insurance covering our products. In
addition, we are preparing to launch production of Blu-Ray format DVDRs in 2008.
HD and Blu-Ray format DVDR production will require us to master new production
techniques and modify existing or purchase new machinery and equipment. It is
possible that we may fail to achieve mastery of these new techniques and
production yields could suffer as a result.
The
development of digital distribution alternatives, including the copying and
distribution of music and video and other electronic data files, could decrease
the demand for our products.
We are
dependent on the continued viability and growth of the physical distribution of
music, video and other electronic data through recordable media. Alternative
distribution channels and methods, both authorized and unauthorized, for
delivering music, video and other electronic data may erode our volume of sales
and the pricing of our products. The growth of these alternatives is driven by
advances in technology that allow for the transfer and downloading of music,
video and other electronic data files from the Internet. The proliferation of
this copying, use and distribution of such files is supported by the increasing
availability and decreasing price of new technologies, such as personal video
recorders, DVD burners, portable MP3 music and video players, widespread access
to the Internet, and the increasing number of peer-to-peer digital distribution
services that facilitate file transfers and downloading. We expect that file
sharing and downloading, both legal and illegal, will continue to exert downward
pressure on the demand for traditional DVDRs. As current technologies and
delivery systems improve, the digital transfer and downloading of music, video
and other electronic data files will likely become more widespread. As the speed
and quality with which music, video and other electronic data files can be
transferred and downloaded improves, file sharing and downloading may in the
future exert significant downward pressure on the demand for DVDRs. In addition,
our business faces pressure from emerging distribution alternatives such as
video on demand (“VOD”) and personal digital video recorders. As substantially
all of our revenues are derived from the sale of DVDRs, increased file sharing,
downloading and piracy or the growth of other alternative distribution channels
and methods could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
Our
revenues, cash flows and operating results may fluctuate for a number of
reasons.
Future
operating results and cash flows will continue to be subject to quarterly
fluctuations based on a wide variety of factors, including seasonality. Although
our sales and other operating results can be influenced by a number of factors
and historical results are not necessarily indicative of future results, our
sequential quarterly operating results generally fluctuate downward in the
fourth quarter of each fiscal year when compared with the immediately preceding
quarter. For example, our first calendar quarter is modestly affected by the
Chinese New Year.
16
A
significant portion of our revenue will depend on the success of our new venture
in Brazil.
A
significant portion of the Company’s revenues will depend on the success of our
new Brazilian venture. We have no prior manufacturing and distribution
experience in Brazil, and will rely on the local knowledge of its Brazilian
joint venture partner and the general knowledge of the South American
marketplace of its regional director Sebastian Tseng. Our results could suffer
should its relationships with either of these two parties deteriorate in the
early months of the Brazilian venture.
We
are at risk of losing our significant investment in Brazil if we are unable to
obtain the intellectual property licenses required for our Discobras
manufacturing facility.
The
owners of the technologies and intellectual property necessary for the
production of our products require that we obtain separate patent licenses for
the use of intellectual property in our DVDR manufacturing facility in Brazil.
We have completed the required procedures in applying for the patent licenses
for use at the Discobras manufacturing facility and are now waiting for the
patent owners to complete their own procedures, including the submission of the
patent licenses to the Patent Office in Brazil for final approval. However, if
there is a substantial delay in obtaining approval for our use of the patent
licenses, then we may be unable to manufacture a sufficient amount of our
products to fill our sales orders, and this could cause us to lose substantial
revenues. Further, in the event we are unable to obtain the patent licenses,
then we may not be able to manufacture our products in Brazil, thus placing us
at risk of losing its significant investment in the Brazilian
venture.
Past
activities of the Company and its affiliates may lead to future liability for
the combined companies.
Prior to
the closing of the share exchange transaction in August 2006, the Company
engaged in businesses unrelated to that of our current business operations. Any
liabilities relating to such prior business against which we are not completely
indemnified may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Risks
Relating To Doing Business in Hong Kong and Brazil
Adverse
changes in economic and political policies of the People’s Republic of China
government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth
of Hong Kong, which could adversely affect our business.
A
substantial portion of our business operations is conducted in Hong Kong, a
special administrative region in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).
Accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects are
subject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in
Hong Kong and the PRC. The PRC’s economy differs from the economies of most
developed countries in many respects, including with respect to 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 20 years, growth has been uneven across different
regions and among various economic sectors of China. The PRC government has
implemented various measures to encourage economic development and guide the
allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall PRC economy,
but may also have a negative effect on us.
You
may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing
foreign judgments or bringing original actions in Hong Kong or China based on
United States or other foreign laws against us, our management or the experts
named in the prospectus.
We
currently conduct a substantial portion of our operations in Hong Kong, and a
substantial amount of our assets are located in Hong Kong. In addition, all of
our senior executive officers reside within Hong Kong. As a result, it may not
be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere
outside Hong Kong upon our senior executive officers, including with respect to
matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state
securities laws. Moreover, neither the PRC nor Hong Kong have treaties with the
United States or many other countries providing for the reciprocal recognition
and enforcement of judgment of courts.
Fluctuation
in the value of the Hong Kong Dollar may have a material adverse effect on your
investment.
The value
of the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may
fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and
economic conditions. Although the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and
the U.S. dollar has been effectively pegged, there can be no assurance that the
Hong Kong dollar will remain pegged to the U.S. dollar, especially in light of
the significant international pressure on the Chinese government to permit the
free floatation of the RMB and the Hong Kong dollar, which could result in an
appreciation of RMB or the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar. Our
revenues and costs are mostly denominated in Hong Kong dollars, while a
significant portion of our financial assets are also denominated in Hong Kong
dollars. Any significant revaluation of the Hong Kong dollar may materially and
adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and
the value of, and any dividends payable on, our stock in U.S.
dollars.
We
face risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks.
Our
business could be adversely affected by the effects of SARS, Avian flu or
another epidemic or outbreak. Any prolonged recurrence of SARS or other adverse
public health developments in China or in Hong Kong may have a material adverse
effect on our business operations. For instance, health or other government
regulations adopted in response may require temporary closure of our production
facilities or of our offices in Hong Kong. Such closures would severely disrupt
our business operations and adversely affect our results of operations. We have
not adopted any written preventive measures or contingency plans to combat any
future outbreak of SARS, Avian flu or any other epidemic.
17
Changes
in Hong Kong or Brazil’s political or economic situation could harm our
operational results.
In
addition to our operations in Hong Kong, we also have our production facility
and a sales base in Brazil. Economic reforms adopted by the Chinese or Brazilian
governments have had positive effects on the economic development of these
countries, but the governments could change these economic reforms or any of the
legal systems at any time. This could either benefit or damage the Company’s
operations and profitability. Some of the things that could have this effect
are:
|
·
|
Level
of government involvement in the
economy;
|
|
·
|
Control
of foreign exchange;
|
|
·
|
Methods
of allocating resources;
|
|
·
|
Balance
of payments position;
|
|
·
|
International
trade restrictions; and
|
|
·
|
International
conflict.
|
Any of
the foregoing events or other unforeseen consequences of public health problems
could damage the Company’s operations.
The
Brazilian government has historically exercised, and continues to exercise,
significant influence over the Brazilian economy. Brazilian political and
economic conditions will have a direct impact on our business and the market
price of our securities.
The
Brazilian government frequently intervenes in the Brazilian economy and
occasionally makes substantial changes in policy, as often occurs in other
emerging economies. The Brazilian government’s actions to control inflation and
carry out other policies have in the past involved wage and price controls,
currency devaluations, capital controls and limits on imports, among other
things. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be
adversely affected by factors in Brazil including:
|
●
|
Currency
volatility;
|
|
●
|
Inflation
acceleration;
|
|
●
|
Monetary
policy and interest rate increases;
|
|
●
|
Fiscal
policy and tax changes;
|
|
●
|
International
trade policy including tariff and non-tariff trade
barriers;
|
|
●
|
Foreign
exchange controls;
|
|
●
|
Energy
shortages; and
|
|
●
|
Other
political, social and economic developments in or affecting
Brazil.
|
In 2005
and 2006, government figures, legislators and political party officials,
especially those of the President’s party, have been the subject of a variety of
allegations of unethical or illegal conduct. These accusations, which are being
investigated by the Brazilian Congress, involve campaign financing and election
law violations, and influencing of government officials and Congressmen in
exchange for political support. Several members of the President’s party and of
the federal government, including the President’s chief of staff, have resigned.
We cannot predict what effect these accusations and investigations may have on
the Brazilian economy.
18
Inflation
and government measures to curb inflation may contribute significantly to
economic uncertainty in Brazil and to heightened volatility in the Brazilian
securities markets and, consequently, may adversely affect our business in
Brazil.
Brazil
has in the past experienced extremely high rates of inflation, with annual rates
of inflation reaching as high as 2,567% in 1993 (as measured by the Índice Geral de Preços do
Mercado published by Fundação Getúlio Vargas, or
IGP-M Index). More recently, Brazil’s rates of inflation were 10.4% in 2001,
25.3% in 2002, 8.7% in 2003, 12.4% in 2004, 1.2% in 2005, 3.8% in 2006, 3.5% in
2007, 0.78%in 2008 and -1.72% in 2009 (as
measured by the IGP-M Index). Inflation, governmental measures to combat
inflation and public speculation about possible future actions have in the past
had significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy and have contributed
to economic uncertainty in Brazil. If Brazil experiences substantial inflation
in the future, our costs may increase and our operating and net margins may
decrease. Inflationary pressures may also lead to further government
intervention in the economy, which could involve the introduction of government
policies that may adversely affect the overall performance of the Brazilian
economy.
Restrictions on currency exchange may
limit our ability to receive and use our revenues
effectively.
Since we
have established our business operations in Brazil, some of our revenues will be
settled in the Brazilian Real. Any future restrictions on currency exchanges may
limit our ability to use revenue generated in Reals to fund any future business
activities outside Brazil or to make dividend or other payments in U.S.
dollars.
The
value of our securities will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between
the U.S. dollar, the Hong Kong dollar and the Real.
The value
of our common stock will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S.
and Hong Kong dollars and Real, and between those currencies and other
currencies in which our sales may be denominated. For example, to the extent
that we need to convert U.S. or Hong Kong dollars into Real for our operational
needs and should the Real appreciate against the U.S. dollar at that time, our
financial position, our business, and the price of our common stock may be
harmed. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Reals into U.S. or Hong Kong
dollars for the purpose of declaring dividends on our common stock or for other
business purposes and the U.S. Dollar appreciates against the Real, the U.S. or
Hong Kong dollar equivalent of our earnings from our subsidiaries in Hong Kong
and Brazil would be reduced. We will engage in hedging activities to manage our
financial exposure related to currency exchange fluctuation. In these hedging
activities, we might use fixed-price, forward, futures, financial swaps and
option contracts traded in the over-the-counter markets or on exchanges, as well
as long-term structured transactions when feasible.
We
will depend on Brazil’s foreign investment incentive programs, which provide
reductions in taxation or exemptions from taxation for our operations in Brazil.
The loss of the tax benefits from these incentive programs may substantially
affect our earnings.
Under the
State of Bahia’s investment incentive program, our Brazilian subsidiary,
Discobras, has been granted a reduction in the Value Added Tax (“VAT”) it is
required to pay for products. Discobras pays only 2.28%, as compared to VAT of
12% in Salvador, or 18% in São Paulo. This VAT reduction will be available to us
until June 2016. We will also avail ourselves of an incentive program for
foreign investment which exempts Discobras from paying Brazil’s ICMS taxes on
raw materials it imports for production in Brazil and create substantial tax
savings for Infosmart BVI. This tax exemption will last through June 2016.
In the event that the VAT reduction program is no longer available to us or we
are unable to extend the ICMS tax-exemption, our after-tax earnings would
decline by the amount of the tax benefits, which may be
substantial.
Risks
Relating to this Offering and Ownership of Our Securities
Your
rights with respect to ownership of the Company's Series B Preferred
Shares are set forth in the Certificate of Determination of Rights,
Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions for the Series B Preferred Stock and
form of Warrants and such documents should be reviewed carefully with your legal
counsel.
Your
rights with respect to ownership of our Series B Preferred Shares and the
Warrants are set forth in the Certificate of Determination of Rights,
Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions for the Series B Preferred Stock
that was attached as Exhibit 3.4 and in the form of Warrant attached as
Exhibit 10.17 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with SEC on August 24,
2006. These documents contain important provisions that provide you with rights,
limitations and obligations and should be reviewed carefully with your legal
counsel. We will also provide copies of these documents upon
request.
We
are a public company subject to evolving corporate governance and public
disclosure regulations that may result in additional expenses and continuing
uncertainty regarding the application of such regulations.
Changing
laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public
disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules and
regulations, are creating uncertainty for public companies. We are presently
evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to new and proposed rules
and cannot predict or estimate the amount of the additional compliance costs we
may incur or the timing of such costs. These new or changed laws, regulations
and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their
lack of specificity, and as a result, their application in practice may evolve
over time as new guidance is provided by courts and regulatory and governing
bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters
and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance
practices. Maintaining appropriate standards of corporate governance and public
disclosure may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a
diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities
to compliance activities. In addition, if we fail to comply with new or changed
laws, regulations and standards, regulatory authorities may initiate legal
proceedings against us and our business and our reputation may be
harmed.
19
Our
shares may have limited liquidity.
A
substantial portion of our shares of common stock are closely held by certain
institutional and insider investors. Consequently, the public float for our
shares may be highly limited. As a result, you may encounter difficulty selling
large blocks of your shares or obtaining a suitable price at which to sell your
shares.
Our
stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our
shareholders.
The stock
markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations, and
the market prices of companies quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board,
the stock market on which shares of our common stock are quoted, generally have
been very volatile and have experienced sharp share price and trading volume
changes. The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and
could fluctuate widely in response to many of the following factors, some of
which are beyond our control:
|
●
|
variations
in our operating results;
|
|
●
|
announcements
of technological innovations, new services or product lines by us or our
competitors;
|
|
●
|
changes
in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial
estimates by securities analysts and
investors;
|
|
●
|
changes
in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our
industry;
|
|
●
|
additions
or departures of key personnel; and
|
|
●
|
future
sales of our common stock.
|
Domestic
and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume
fluctuations. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and political
conditions unrelated to our performance, may adversely affect the price of our
common stock. In particular, following initial public offerings, the market
prices for stocks of companies often reach levels that bear no established
relationship to the operating performance of these companies. These market
prices are generally not sustainable and could vary widely. In the past,
following periods of volatility in the market price of a public company’s
securities, securities class action litigation has often been initiated.
We
have broad discretion as to the use of proceeds from this Financing and may
not use the proceeds effectively.
Our
management team will retain broad discretion as to the allocation and timing of
the use of proceeds from the Financing and may spend these proceeds in ways
with which our shareholders may not agree. The failure of our management to
apply these funds effectively could result in unfavorable returns and
uncertainty about our prospects, each of which could cause the price of our
common stock to decline.
Our
officers and directors own a substantial portion of our outstanding common
stock, which will enable them to influence many significant corporate actions
and in certain circumstances may prevent a change in control that would
otherwise be beneficial to our shareholders.
Our
directors and executive officers, specifically Chung Kwok, Po Nei Sze, and
Andrew Chang, control approximately 59.7% of our outstanding shares of stock
that are entitled to vote on all corporate actions. These stockholders, acting
together, could have a substantial impact on matters requiring the vote of the
shareholders, including the election of our directors and most of our corporate
actions. This control could delay, defer or prevent others from initiating a
potential merger, takeover or other change in our control, even if these actions
would benefit our shareholders and us. This control could adversely affect the
voting and other rights of our other shareholders and could depress the market
price of our common stock.
A
large number of additional shares may be sold into the public market in the near
future, which may cause the market price of our common stock to decline
significantly even if our business is doing well.
Sales of
a substantial amount of common stock in the public market, or the perception
that these sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our
common stock. Assuming the full conversion of our Series B Preferred Stock, we
will have approximately 161,379,426 shares of common stock outstanding as of
March 14, 2008. As restrictions on resale of such additional shares end, the
market price could drop significantly if the holders of these restricted shares
sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.
A
large number of common shares are issuable upon exercise of outstanding common
share warrants and upon conversion of our Series B Preferred Stock. The exercise
or conversion of these securities could result in the substantial dilution of
your investment in terms of your percentage ownership in the Company as well as
the book value of your common shares. The sale of a large amount of common
shares received upon exercise of these warrants on the public market to finance
the exercise price or to pay associated income taxes, or the perception that
such sales could occur, could substantially depress the prevailing market prices
for our shares.
20
As of
March 14, 2008, there are outstanding warrants entitling the holders to purchase
up to 28,510,347 common shares at an exercise price of $0.326 per share. The
exercise price for all of the aforesaid warrants may be less than your cost to
acquire our common shares. In the event of the exercise of these securities, you
could suffer substantial dilution of your investment in terms of your percentage
ownership in the company as well as the book value of your common shares. In
addition, the holders of the common share purchase warrants may sell common
shares in tandem with their exercise of those options or warrants to finance
that exercise, or may resell the shares purchased in order to cover any income
tax liabilities that may arise from their exercise of the warrants.
We
incur increased costs and compliance risks as a result of being a public company
with substantial business operations.
As a
public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that
we did not incur prior to the closing of the share exchange transaction as a
shell company with no business operations and nominal assets. We incur costs
associated with our public company reporting requirements and costs associated
with recently adopted corporate governance requirements, including certain
requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules
implemented by the SEC. These rules and regulations, in particular Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, significantly increased our legal and
financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and
costly. Like many smaller public companies, we face a significant impact from
required compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section
404 requires management of public companies to evaluate the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting and the independent auditors to attest
to the effectiveness of such internal controls and the evaluation performed by
management. The SEC has adopted rules implementing Section 404 for public
companies as well as disclosure requirements. The Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board, or PCAOB, has adopted documentation and attestation standards
that the independent auditors must follow in conducting its attestation under
Section 404.
These new
rules and regulations also make it more difficult and more expensive for us to
obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to
accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to
obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for
us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our Board of
Directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring
developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate
the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such
costs.
If
we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, our ability to
provide accurate financial statements and comply with the requirements of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could be impaired, which could cause our stock price
to decrease substantially.
We take
measures to address and improve our financial reporting and compliance
capabilities, and we plan to obtain additional financial and accounting
resources to support and enhance our ability to meet the requirements of being a
public company. We will need to continue to improve our financial and managerial
controls, reporting systems and procedures, and documentation thereof. If our
financial and managerial controls, reporting systems or procedures fail, we may
not be able to provide accurate financial statements on a timely basis or comply
with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as it applies to us. Any failure of our
internal controls or our ability to provide accurate financial statements could
cause the trading price of our common stock to decrease
substantially.
Our
common shares are thinly traded and, you may be unable to sell at or near ask
prices or at all if you need to convert your Series B Preferred Stock and sell
your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate such
shares.
We cannot
predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will
develop or be sustained. Our common shares have historically been sporadically
or “thinly-traded” on the “Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board,” meaning that the
number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid
prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation
is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that the Company is a
small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers,
institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or
influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such
persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an
unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our
shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence,
there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares
is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large
and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous
sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance
that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will
develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be
sustained.
The
market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a
relatively small company with a small and thinly traded “float” and lack of
current revenues that could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. The
price at which you convert your Series B Preferred Stock into our common stock
many be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. You may
be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price if at all,
which may result in substantial losses to you.
21
The
market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility
when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will
continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future.
The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First,
as noted above, our common shares are sporadically and/or thinly traded. As a
consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small
quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the
price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for
example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common
shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a
seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on
its share price. Secondly, an investment in us is a speculative or “risky”
investment due to our lack of revenues or profits to date and uncertainty of
future market acceptance for current and potential products. As a consequence of
this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing
all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of
progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and
at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned
issuer.
Shareholders
should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for
penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such
patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few
broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2)
manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and
false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving
high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced
sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by
selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by
promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired
level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with
consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have
occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be
in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who
participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of
practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established
with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices
could increase the volatility of our share price.
Other
than the dividend payments that are due for the Series B Preferred Stock, we do
not anticipate paying any cash dividends.
Other
than the dividend payments that are due for the Series B Preferred Stock, we
presently do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends on any of our capital
stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends, if any, would be
contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and
general financial condition. The payment of any dividends will be within the
discretion of our Board of Directors. We presently intend to retain all
earnings, if any, to implement our business plan; accordingly, we do not
anticipate the declaration of any dividends in the foreseeable
future.

OVERVIEW
Infosmart
Group, Inc. (the “Company”), through our wholly owned subsidiary Infosmart Group
Limited (“Infosmart BVI”), is in the business of developing, manufacturing,
marketing and sales of recordable digital versatile disc (“DVDR”) optical
media, and manufacturing recordable compact discs (“CDR”). We currently
manufacture DVDRs with 8x and 16x writable speeds as well as CDRs with 52x
writable speed. We are also preparing for the manufacturing of Blu-Ray format
DVDR discs. We have customers in Western Europe, Australia, China and South
America. We currently manufacture and ship our products from Hong Kong where we
operate state-of-the-art DVDR and CDR manufacturing facilities.
The
Company owns all of the capital stock of Infosmart BVI, a holding company
incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Infosmart BVI beneficially owns 100%
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of: (i) Info Smart Technology
Limited (“IS Technology”), a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong;
(ii) Info Smart International Enterprises Limited (“IS International”), a
company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong; and (iii) Portabello Global
Limited (“Portabello”), a company incorporated under the laws of the British
Virgin Islands. IS Technology owns all of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of Infoscience Media Limited (“IS Media”), a company incorporated under
the laws of Hong Kong. IS Media owns 99.42% of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Discobras Industria E Comercio de Eletro Eletronica Ltda., a
company incorporated under the laws of Brazil (“Discobras”), the remaining 0.58%
ownership interest in Discobras is held by our local Brazilian partner. During
the year 2006, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding capital stock
of Infoscience Holdings Limited (“IS Holdings”), a company incorporated under
the laws of Hong Kong, through IS Media. IS Media has a Cooperation Agreement
with IS Holdings wherein it manufactures its DVDRs using certain patent licenses
and manufacturing licenses owned by IS Holdings. IS Media acquired IS Holdings
to guarantee the continuation of this agreement and obtained the right to use
the relevant patent licenses and manufacturing licenses.
In
March 2006, IS Media formed Discobras, a Brazilian company, with a local
partner, with registered capital of US$8 million for our new Brazilian DVDR
production facility. We relocated some of our DVDR manufacturing equipment to
Brazil in November 2006 and installed them in January 2007. Trial
production in Brazil began in March 2007, and is currently producing at full
capacity. In addition, the owners of the technologies and intellectual property
necessary for the production of our products require that we obtain separate
Patent Licenses for the use of intellectual property in our new DVDR
manufacturing facility in Brazil. We are currently in the process of obtaining
these Patent Licenses.
24
Share
Exchange Transaction
The
Company became engaged in the DVDR manufacturing business in August 2006 in
connection with a share exchange. Prior to the share exchange transaction, we
were a shell company with nominal assets and operations, whose sole business was
to identify, evaluate and investigate various companies with the intent that, if
such investigation warrants, a business combination be negotiated and completed
pursuant to which the Company would acquire a target company with an operating
business with the intent of continuing the acquired company’s business as a
publicly held entity. We entered in an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange
Agreement”) dated July 7, 2006 and amended on August 14, 2006 with KI Equity
Partners II, LLC (“KI Equity”), Infosmart BVI, the owners of 100% of the capital
shares of Infosmart BVI, namely Chung Kwok, Po Nei Sze, Prime Corporate
Developments Limited (“Prime Corporate”) and Hamptons Investment Group Limited
(“Hamptons”) (collectively the “Infosmart BVI Shareholders”), and Worldwide
Gateway Co., Ltd. The closing of the Exchange Agreement occurred on August 16,
2006. At closing, the Company acquired all of Infosmart BVI’s capital shares
(the “Infosmart BVI Shares”) from the Infosmart BVI Shareholders, and the
Infosmart BVI Shareholders transferred and contributed all of their Infosmart
BVI Shares to the Company. In exchange, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of
its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the Infosmart BVI Shareholders. Each
share of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred
Stock”) was convertible into 116.721360 shares of the Company's common stock,
subject to adjustments. The Series A Preferred Stock were to be immediately and
automatically converted into shares of the Company's common stock upon the
approval by a majority of the Company's stockholders (voting together on an
as-converted-to-common-stock basis) and the filing of a Certificate of Amendment
to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, following the closing of the
Exchange Agreement, to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's
common stock from 40,000,000 shares to 300,000,000 shares and to change the
Company's corporate name to “Infosmart Group, Inc.”
As
a result of the closing of the Exchange Agreement, Infosmart BVI became the
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company’s main operational
business. The share exchange transaction, for accounting and financial reporting
purposes, is deemed to be a reverse acquisition, where the Company (the legal
acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and Infosmart BVI (the legal
acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer, and thus the historical
financial statements of the Company are the financial statements of Infosmart
BVI. On August 16, 2006, pursuant to the authority granted by the Company’s
bylaws, the Board of Directors of the Company changed the fiscal year end from
May 31 to December 31.
Name
Change and Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock
On
October 12, 2006, the Company effected an increase in the number of authorized
shares of the Company's common stock from 40,000,000 shares to 300,000,000
shares and effected a change of the Company's corporate name (the “Name Change”)
to “Infosmart Group, Inc.” (the “Amendments”) through the filing of a
Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the
State of California’s Secretary of State. Per the conversion rights set forth in
the Certificate of Determination for the Series A Preferred Stock, upon filing
and acceptance of the Amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, all
of the Series A Preferred Stock were automatically converted into approximately
116,721,360 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company’s Name Change and
its trading symbol (OTCBB: IFSG) became effective on the OTC Bulletin Board on
October 18, 2006.

(equivalent to HK$1) (“Investment Cost”) of which has been subscribed by the
Company. The minority interests have been recognized in the accompanying
financial statements.
25
Use
of estimates
In
preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial
statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to,
the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, deferred income taxes and the
estimation of useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
License
usage rights
License
usage rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is
provided using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the license
obtained by Infosmart Holdings. It has been written off in 2009 on
disposal of Infoscience Holdings Limited.
Concentrations
of credit risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company extends
credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, generally
without requiring collateral or other security. The Company conducts periodic
reviews of the client’s financial conditions and payment practices. Further, the
Company will maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the
management’s expectations on actual losses possibly incurred.
Revenue
recognition
Revenue
from sales of the Company’s products is recognized when the significant risks
and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer at the time of
delivery and the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is
reasonably assured.
Advertising
and transportation expenses
Advertising,
transportation and other product-related costs are charged to expenses as
incurred.
Advertising
expenses amounted to $230,769, $10,737 and $45,463 during 2009, 2008 and 2007
respectively and are included in selling and distributing costs.
Transportation
expenses amounted to $214,574, $64,163 and $352,203 during 2009, 2008 and 2007
respectively and are included in selling and distributing costs.
Income
taxes
The
Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes
pursuant to SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under the asset and
liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between
the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled.
Dividends
Dividends
are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they
are declared.
The
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock carries dividends at 8% per annum payable
quarter in cash in US Dollars.
Comprehensive
income
The
Company has adopted SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its
components and accumulated balances.
Accumulated
other comprehensive income represents the accumulated balance of foreign
currency translation adjustments of the Company.
26
Foreign
currency translation
The
functional currency of the Company are Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”) and Brazil
dollars (Real$). The Company maintains its financial statements in the
functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies
other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency
at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions
denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into
the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the
transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions
are included in the determination of net income for the respective
periods.
For
financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company which are
prepared using the functional currency have been translated into United States
dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the
balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average
exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange
rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net
income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive
income, a component of stockholders’ equity.
The
exchange rates in effect at December 31, 2009 and 2007 were HK$1 for $0.1290 and
$0.1282 US dollars and Real$1 for $0.4323 and $0.5618 US dollars respectively.
The average exchange rates for 2008,2007 and 2006 were HK$1 for $0.1284,$0.1282
and $0.1287 US dollars and Real$1 for $0.5589,$0.5163 and $0.46 US dollars
respectively. There is no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the
conversion between Real dollars, HK dollars and US dollars after the balance
sheet date.
Fair
value of financial instruments
The
carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, deposits, trade and
other payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of
such instruments. The carrying amounts of borrowings approximate their fair
values because the applicable interest rates approximate current market
rates.
It is
management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest,
price or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
The
Company is exposed to certain foreign currency risk from export sales
transactions and recognized trade receivables as they will affect the future
operating results of the Company. The Company did not have any hedging
activities during the reporting period. As the functional currencies of the
Company are HK$ and Real$, the exchange difference on translation to US dollars
for reporting purpose is taken to other comprehensive income.
Stock-based
payment
The
Company adopted the SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R") using the
modified prospective method. Under SFAS 123R, equity instruments issued to
service providers for their services are measured at the grant-date fair value
and recognized in the statement of operations over the vesting
period.
Basic
and diluted earnings (loss) per share
The
Company reports basic earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
“Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The
weighted average number of shares of the Company represents the common stock
outstanding during the year.
Diluted
earning (loss) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive
convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is
computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and
warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the year (or at the
time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to
purchase common stock at the average market price during the year.
The
Company’s common stock equivalents at December 31, 2009 include the
following:
Detachable
common stock warrants
|
28,510,347 | |||
Placement
agent warrants
|
20,889,848 | |||
49,400,195 |
Cash
and cash equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid
investments with initial maturities of three months or less.
Restricted
cash
Deposits
in an escrow accounts and deposits in banks for securities of bank overdrafts
facilities that are restricted in use are classified as restricted cash under
current assets.
27
Trade
receivables
Trade
receivables are stated at original amount less allowance made for doubtful
receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year
end. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of
business and believes all trade receivables in excess of the allowances for
doubtful receivables to be fully collectible. Full allowances for doubtful
receivables are made when the receivables are overdue for 1 year and an
allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Company will
not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of
receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company does not
accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.
Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost or market value with cost determined on a
first-in, first-out basis. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories,
the management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to
current or committed inventory levels. The Company’s reserve requirements
generally increase/decrease due to managements projected demand requirements,
market conditions and product life cycle changes. During the reporting years,
the Company did not make any allowance for slow-moving or defective
inventories.
Plant
and equipment
Plant and
equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the
purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its
existing use. Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including replacement of
minor items, are charged to expense; major additions to physical properties are
capitalized.
Depreciation
of plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over their
estimated useful lives. The principal annual rates are as follows:
Production
lines and equipment
|
10%
with 30% residual value
|
|
Leasehold
improvements and others
|
20%
|
Upon sale
or disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from
disposal is charged or credited to income.
Impairment
of long-live assets
Long-lived
assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The
Company recognizes impairment of long-lived assets in the event that the net
book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cashflows attributable
to such assets. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for any of the
periods presented.
Off-balance
sheet arrangements
We have
not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to
guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into
any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as
shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial
statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in
assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity
or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in
any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or
credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development
services with us.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). Under SFAS 159, a company may choose, at
specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value and report
unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been
elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Effective January 1,
2008, the Company adopted SFAS 159, which is now codified as FASB ASC
825-10-50-28 “Financial Instruments – overall – disclosure – Fair value Option”,
but the Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial
instruments as of December 31, 2008 and 2009.
28
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business
Combination” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R is relevant to all transactions or events
in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. SFAS 141R
requires an acquirer to recognize any assets and noncontrolling interest
acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at fair value as of the
acquisition date. Liabilities related to contingent consideration are recognized
and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later
date when the amount of the consideration may be resolved beyond a reasonable
doubt. This revised approach replaces SFAS 141’s cost allocation process in
which the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired
and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair value. SFAS 141R requires
any acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs to be expensed as incurred
as opposed to allocating such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed as previously required by SFAS 141. Under SFAS 141R, an acquirer
recognizes liabilities for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting only if
the requirements of SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities”, are met. SFAS 141R allows for the recognition of
pre-acquisition contingencies at fair value only if these contingencies are
likely to materialize. If this criterion is not met at the acquisition date,
then the acquirer accounts for the non-contractual contingency in accordance
with recognition criteria set forth under SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for
Contingencies”, in which case no amount should be recognized in purchase
accounting. SFAS 141R is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first
fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008, which is now codified as
FASB ASC 805 “Business Combination”. The adoption of SFAS 141R did not have a
material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS
160”). This Statement amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and
reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in
a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity and should be
reported as equity on the financial statements. SFAS 160 requires consolidated
net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to
both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. Furthermore, disclosure of the
amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the
noncontrolling interest is required on the face of the financial statements.
SFAS 160 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that
begins after December 15, 2008, and now is codified as FASB ASC
810-10-45-16 “Consolidation — Overall — Other Presentation Matter –
Noncontrolling Interest In a Subsidiary”. Accordingly, in 2009, minority
interests has been renamed noncontrolling interests, consolidated net income
(loss) is reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both
noncontrolling interests and Nam Tai’s shareholders for all periods presented.
In addition, noncontrolling interests has been reported as a component of equity
in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of changes in
equity and comprehensive income for all periods presented. The Company has
retrospectively applied the presentation to its prior year balances in the
consolidated financial statements.
In
April 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful
Life of Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be
considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the
useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets”. This FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset in
this FSP shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the
effective date. This FSP is now codified as FASB ASC 350-20, “Intangibles —
Goodwill and Other Goodwill” effective for interim and annual periods ending
after September 15, 2009. The adoption of FASB ASC 350-20 did not have a
material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
In
June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 03-6-1,
“Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities”. This FSP gives guidance on the computation of
earnings per share and the impact of share-based instruments that contain
certain non forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. The FSP is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008 and is now
codified as FASB-ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” effective for interim
and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of
FASB-ASC 718 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.
In
November 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Task Force in
EITF Issue 08-7, “Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets” (“EITF 08-7”).
EITF 08-7 requires entities that will acquire a defensive intangible asset after
the effective date of SFAS 141R which is now codified as FASB ASC 805 “Business
Combination” effective for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009, to account for the acquired intangible asset as a
separate unit of accounting and amortize the acquired intangible asset over the
period during which the asset would diminish in value. EITF 08-7 is effective
for defensive intangible assets acquired in fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The adoption of EITF 08-7 did not have a material impact
on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets
Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from
Contingencies “. FAS 141(R)-1 amends and clarifies FASB Statement No. 141
(revised 2007), “Business Combinations”, to address application issues raised by
preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on initial recognition
and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets
and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FAS
141(R)-1 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after
June 15, 2009, which is now codified as FASB ASC 805 “Business
Combination”. The adoption of FASB ASC 805 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and
Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2
amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt
securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation
and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities
in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and
measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity
securities. FSP SFAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for the interim and
annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, which is now codified as FASB
ASC 320 “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”. The adoption of FASB ASC 320
did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.
29
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. FSP amends SFAS 107,
“Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures
about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of
publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP
also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “ Interim Financial Reporting”, to require
those disclosures in summarized financial information effective for the interim
and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. SFAS 107 is now codified as
FASB ASC 825-10-50 “Financial Instrument-Overall-Disclosure”. The adoption of
FASB ASC 825-10-50 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 165 “Subsequent Events”. The objective
of this Statement is to establish general standards of accounting for and
disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is
effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009,
which is now codified as FASB ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”. The adoption of FASB
ASC 855 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position,
results of operations and cash flows. Effective February 24, 2010, the Company
adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events
(Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”,
which removes the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent
events have been evaluated. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material
impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 166, “Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”. The objective of
this Statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and
comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its
financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a
transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a
transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is
effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009,
which is now codified as FASB ASC 860-10 “Transfers and Servicing — Overall”.
The adoption of FASB ASC 860-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46” The objective of this Statement is to amend certain requirements of
FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities”, to improve financial reporting by enterprises
involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and
reliable information to users of financial statements. SFAS 167 is effective for
the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, which is now
codified as FASB ASC 810-10-50-2A “Consolidation – Overall – Disclosure —
Variable Interest Entities”. The adoption of FASB ASC 810-10-50-2A did not have
a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a
replacement of FASB Statement No 162”, which supersedes all existing non-SEC
accounting and reporting standards. The codification does not change GAAP but
rather organizes it into a new hierarchy with two levels: authoritative and
non-authoritative. All authoritative GAAP carries equal weight and is organized
in a topical structure. The adoption of SFAS 168 did not have a material impact
on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
In
August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures (Topic 820)”. This ASU applies to all entities that measure
liabilities at fair value within the scope of Topic 820 and provides
clarification on how to measure liabilities at fair value when a quoted price in
an active market is not available and clarify that it is not required to include
a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to a restriction of
transfer of liabilities. The adoption of ASU No. 2009-05 did not have a
material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
In
September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-06, “Income Taxes (Topic
740)—Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and
Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities”, and it provides implementation
guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes effective for interim and
annual reporting period ending on or after September 15, 2009. The adoption
of ASU No. 2009-06 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.
In
September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That
Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”. This update applies to
all entities that hold an investment that is required to be measured or
disclosed at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. These amendments
permit, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value
of investment on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment
and require disclosures by major category of investment within the scope of this
update. ASU No. 2009-12 is effective for interim and annual periods ending
after December 15, 2009 and the adoption is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
In
December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic
810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable
Interest Entities”. The amendments in this update are the result of FASB
Statement No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R)”,
which is now codified as FASB ASC 810-10-50-2A “Consolidation – Overall –
Disclosure - Variable Interest Entities” and is effective for the interim and
annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU
No. 2009-17 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
30
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02, “Consolidation (Topic
810)”, in which it clarifies that the scope of the decrease in ownership
provision of the Subtopic and related guidance applies to a subsidiary or group
of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity, but does not apply to sales
of substance real estate & conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights. ASU
No. 2010-02 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after
December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-02 is not expected to have
a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
None of
the above new pronouncements has current application to the Company, but may be
applicable to the Company’s future financial reporting.

Comparison of Two Years Ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008
Net
Sales. For the
year ended December 31, 2009, net sales decreased approximately 31% from
$36,915,585 to $25,267,314 relative to the year ended December 31, 2008. The
decrease in net sales is a decrease specifically in the sale of of DVDRs in Hong
Kong, which resulted from our policy of geographical diversification and our
shift of focus from the lower margin Hong Kong markets to higher margin markets
such as Asia and Brazil. Market trends show a high expectation for the new
Blu-ray discs and a lower demand for DVDR discs.
Cost of
Sales. Cost of
sales decreased from $32,211,974, or approximately 87.26% of net sales for the
year ended December 31, 2008, to $19,239,050, or approximately 76.14% of net
sales for the year ended December 31, 2009. The approximately 40% decrease was
primarily attributable to the decrease in our volume of sales. The decrease in
the cost of sales was in line with the decrease in our net
sales.
31
Gross
Profit. Gross profit increased approximately 28% from $4,703,611 for the
year ended December 31, 2008 to $6,028,264 for the year ended December 31, 2009.
This increase in gross profit was primarily due to reallocate sales related tax
to selling and distribution costs.
Selling and
Distribution Costs. For the year ended December
31, 2009, selling and distribution costs increased approximately 379% from
$742,524 to $3,559,984 relative to the year ended December 31, 2008. This
increase in selling and distribution costs was due to reallocation of sales
related tax from cost of sales for the year ended December 31,
2009.
Administrative
Expenses. Administrative expenses decreased approximately 31% from
$9,439,172 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $6,520,667 for the year ended
December 31, 2009. This substantial decrease in administrative expenses during
the year ended December 31, 2009 was mainly because the full provision for
doubtful debts for the year of 2008 and 2009.
Net
Income. Net loss
decreased approximately 79.13% from $(5,435,041) for the year ended December 31,
2008 to net loss $(1,134,068) for the year ended December 31, 2009. This is due
to the decrease in cost of sales and decreased administrative
expenses.
Comparison
of Two Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
Net
Sales. For the
year ended December 31, 2008, net sales decreased approximately 65% from
$104,969,899 to $36,915,585 relative to the year ended December 31, 2007. The
decrease in net sales is a decrease specifically in the sale of of DVDRs in Hong
Kong, which resulted from our policy of geographical diversification and our
shift of focus from the lower margin Hong Kong markets to higher margin markets
such as Asia and Brazil. Market trends show a high expectation for the new
Blu-ray discs and a lower demand for DVDR discs.
Cost of
Sales. Cost of
sales decreased from $90,186,253, or approximately 85.92% of net sales for the
year ended December 31, 2007, to $32,211,974, or approximately 87.26% of net
sales for the year ended December 31, 2008. The approximately 64% decrease was
primarily attributable to the decrease in our volume of sales. The decrease in
the cost of sales was in line with the decrease in our net sales.
Gross
Profit. Gross profit decreased approximately 68% from $14,783,646 for the
year ended December 31, 2007 to $4,703,611 for the year ended December 31, 2008.
This decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the decrease in our volume of
net sales.
Selling and
Distribution Costs. For the year ended December
31, 2008, selling and distribution costs increased approximately 48.50% from
$499,716 to $742,524 relative to the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase
in selling and distribution costs was promotion of our Blu-ray business for the
year ended December 31, 2008.
Administrative
Expenses. Administrative expenses increased approximately 213% from
$4,416,087 for the year ended December 31, 2007 to $9,439,172 for the year ended
December 31, 2008. This substantial increase in administrative expenses during
the year ended December 31, 2008 was mainly because the full provision for
doubtful debts.
Net
Income. Net
income decreased approximately 155% from $9,783,441 for the year ended December
31, 2007 to $(5,435,041) for the year ended December 31, 2008. This is due to
the decrease in net sales and increased administrative expenses.
GROWTH
STRATEGIES
Our
growth strategy is to diversity our product range and geographical markets with
a well-balanced approach as below:
· We
will mitigate the risk of being overconcentrated in the DVDR product market by
starting the trading of different kinds of storage media products which we are
pro-active in providing choices of competitive products and even substitutes to
our current customers to ensure the distribution channels have a great coverage
of products from Infosmart.
· Given
the mature operation of Brazilian plant, we would explore to further leverage
the tax advantages on exemption and rate reduction on import duty and
value-added tax on raw material and semi-finished goods in three different
categorizes of products such as other recordable media (e.g.: Flash card and SD
Ram), consumer electronic products and telecommunication
products. The Company intends to make use of the current distribution
channels for products fall within these three categorizes by sub-assembling them
in our Brazilian plant which can serve as a platform for channeling these goods
to South American market.
· The
emergence of ‘Blu-ray’ products with a higher margin than the current DVDR
provides us with opportunity for the entertainment-context replication business,
which we have already purchased the first set of Blu-ray production facilities
in China/Hong Kong in parallel with the thorough marketing work with various
films and records distributors in Asia and also training our technical staff in
operating the machine. We foresee the Blu-ray facilities would come
into production in June.
32
New
Markets
South
America and Brazil
As
expected, sales in South America grew significantly in the year 2009 and we
anticipate that sales will continue to grow in this region in the near
future.
Our
Company’s latest developments in connection with Brazil are discussed in the
section above entitled “Overview.” For other South American countries, we will
select strong distribution partners, conduct more marketing activities and
exhibitions, and pre-position inventory in bonded warehouses in the region to
ensure prompt delivery of our products.
Brazil
will remain our main focus in 2009. Our sales team will continue to locate
distributors and strategic channel partners for specific territorial submarkets
in Brazil.
We have
launched our own brand “Hontek” and, “Laser Line” recordable optical media
products in the Brazilian retail market in 2009, with sales to supermarkets and
chain stores such as Bompreco (a Wal-Mart subsidiary). Management expects that
sales directly to retailers will generate higher profit margins than sales to
local wholesalers, the result is very encouraging which we have achieved a very
widespread distribution network in South America with less than a year that
would be beneficial for our distribution of different products in
future
Other
Developing Markets - The Middle East, Africa, Eastern European
Region/Russia
Some of
our Western European distributors sell our products to retailers in the Middle
East and Eastern Europe. We plan to exploit opportunities in major developing
markets in the Middle East, Africa, Russia and Eastern European countries
directly by attending tradeshows and advertising in trade websites.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Infosmart
Group Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Infosmart Group Inc. (the
“Company”) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related
consolidated statement of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for years
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform,
an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statements presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and
2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2009, have been prepared assuming that the Company and its subsidiaries will
continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company has suffered significant reduction in revenue
and gross profit in the reported period, which would raise sufficient doubt
about its ability as a going concern considering the amount of other loan which
is repayable within one year in amounting to US$ 5,000,000 to be satisfied by
the Company as disclose in Note 14. Management is confident and has taken
measures to obtain financial support aiming at satisfying such commitment.
Management has also contemplated a plan of debt restructuring and spin off
exercise that is targeted to alleviate the repayment budget of the Company
regarding those loan.

Use
of estimates
In
preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial
statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to,
the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, deferred income taxes and the
estimation of useful lives of property, plant and equipment. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
License
usage rights
License
usage rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is
provided using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the license
obtained by IHL. The license usage rights has been written off in
2009 on disposal of Infoscience Holdings Limited
Concentrations
of credit risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company extends
credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, generally
without requiring collateral or other security. The Company conducts periodic
reviews of the client’s financial conditions and payment practices. Further, the
Company will maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the
management’s expectations on actual losses possibly incurred. Other than set
forth below, no customers represented 10% or more of the Company’s net
sales.
At
December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, customers representing 10% or more of the
Company’s net sales and their related trade receivables are:

Advertising
and transportation expenses
Advertising,
transportation and other product-related costs are charged to expenses as
incurred.
Advertising
expenses amounted to $157,094, $230,769 and $10,737 during 2009, 2008 and 2007
respectively and are included in selling and distributing costs.
Transportation
expenses amounted to $242,745 $214,574 and $64,163 during 2009, 2008 and 2007
respectively and are included in selling and distributing costs.
Income
taxes
The
Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes
pursuant to SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under the asset and
liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between
the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled.
Dividends
Dividends
are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they
are declared.
The
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock carries dividends at 8% per annum payable
quarter in cash in US Dollars.
Comprehensive
income
The
Company has adopted SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its
components and accumulated balances.
Accumulated
other comprehensive income represents the accumulated balance of foreign
currency translation adjustments of the Company.
Foreign
currency translation
The
functional currency of the Company are Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”) and Brazil
dollars (Real$). The Company maintains its financial statements in the
functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies
other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency
at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions
denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into
the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the
transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions
are included in the determination of net income for the respective
periods.
For
financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company which are
prepared using the functional currency have been translated into United States
dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the
balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average
exchange rates and stockholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange
rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net
income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive
income, a component of stockholders’ equity.
The
exchange rates in effect at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were HK$1 for $0.1282 and
$0.1282 US dollars and Real$1 for $0.5737 and $0.5618 US dollars respectively.
The average exchange rates for 2009,2008 and 2007 were HK$1 for $0.1282,$0.1282
and $0.1282 US dollars and Real$1 for $0.4918,$0.5589 and $0.5163 US dollars
respectively. There is no significant fluctuation in exchange rate for the
conversion between Real dollars, HK dollars and US dollars after the balance
sheet date.

Fair
value of financial instruments
The
carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, deposits, trade and
other payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of
such instruments. The carrying amounts of borrowings approximate their fair
values because the applicable interest rates approximate current market
rates.
It is
management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest,
price or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
The
Company is exposed to certain foreign currency risk from export sales
transactions and recognized trade receivables as they will affect the future
operating results of the Company. The Company did not have any hedging
activities during the reporting period. As the functional currencies of the
Company are HK$ and Real$, the exchange difference on translation to US dollars
for reporting purpose is taken to other comprehensive income.
Stock-based
payment
The
Company adopted the SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R") using the
modified prospective method. Under SFAS 123R, equity instruments issued to
service providers for their services are measured at the grant-date fair value
and recognized in the statement of operations over the vesting
period.
Basic
and diluted earnings (loss) per share
The
Company reports basic earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
“Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The
weighted average number of shares of the Company represents the common stock
outstanding during the year.
Diluted
earning (loss) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive
convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is
computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and
warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the year (or at the
time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to
purchase common stock at the average market price during the year.
The
Company’s common stock equivalents at December 31, 2009 include the
following:
Detachable
common stock warrants
|
28,510,347 | |||
Placement
agent warrants
|
20,889,848 | |||
49,400,195 |
Cash
and cash equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid
investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

Trade
receivables
Trade
receivables are stated at original amount less allowance made for doubtful
receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year
end. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of
business and believes all trade receivables in excess of the allowances for
doubtful receivables to be fully collectible. Full allowances for doubtful
receivables are made when the receivables are overdue for 1 year and an
allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Company will
not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of
receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company does not
accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.
Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost or market value with cost determined on a
first-in, first-out basis. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories,
the management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to
current or committed inventory levels. The Company’s reserve requirements
generally increase/decrease due to managements projected demand requirements,
market conditions and product life cycle changes. During the reporting years,
the Company did not make any allowance for slow-moving or defective
inventories.
Plant
and equipment
Plant and
equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the
purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its
existing use. Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including replacement of
minor items, are charged to expense; major additions to physical properties are
capitalized.
Depreciation
of plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over their
estimated useful lives. The principal annual rates are as follows:
Production
lines and equipment
|
10%
with 30% residual value
|
Leasehold
improvements and others
|
20%
|
Upon sale
or disposition, the applicable amounts of asset cost and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amount less proceeds from
disposal is charged or credited to income.
Impairment
of long-live assets
Long-lived
assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The
Company recognizes impairment of long-lived assets in the event that the net
book values of such assets exceed the future undiscounted cashflows attributable
to such assets. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for any of the
periods presented.
Off-balance
sheet arrangements
We have
not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to
guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into
any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as
shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial
statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in
assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity
or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in
any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or
credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development
services with us.

Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). Under SFAS 159, a company may choose, at
specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value and report
unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been
elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Effective January 1,
2008, the Company adopted SFAS 159, which is now codified as FASB ASC
825-10-50-28 “Financial Instruments – overall – disclosure – Fair value Option”,
but the Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial
instruments as of December 31, 2008 and 2009.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business
Combination” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R is relevant to all transactions or events
in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. SFAS 141R
requires an acquirer to recognize any assets and noncontrolling interest
acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at fair value as of the
acquisition date. Liabilities related to contingent consideration are recognized
and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later
date when the amount of the consideration may be resolved beyond a reasonable
doubt. This revised approach replaces SFAS 141’s cost allocation process in
which the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired
and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair value. SFAS 141R requires
any acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs to be expensed as incurred
as opposed to allocating such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed as previously required by SFAS 141. Under SFAS 141R, an acquirer
recognizes liabilities for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting only if
the requirements of SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities”, are met. SFAS 141R allows for the recognition of
pre-acquisition contingencies at fair value only if these contingencies are
likely to materialize. If this criterion is not met at the acquisition date,
then the acquirer accounts for the non-contractual contingency in accordance
with recognition criteria set forth under SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for
Contingencies”, in which case no amount should be recognized in purchase
accounting. SFAS 141R is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first
fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008, which is now codified as
FASB ASC 805 “Business Combination”. The adoption of SFAS 141R did not have a
material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests
in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS
160”). This Statement amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and
reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in
a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity and should be
reported as equity on the financial statements. SFAS 160 requires consolidated
net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to
both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. Furthermore, disclosure of the
amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the
noncontrolling interest is required on the face of the financial statements.
SFAS 160 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that
begins after December 15, 2008, and now is codified as FASB ASC
810-10-45-16 “Consolidation — Overall — Other Presentation Matter –
Noncontrolling Interest In a Subsidiary”. Accordingly, in 2009, minority
interests has been renamed noncontrolling interests, consolidated net income
(loss) is reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both
noncontrolling interests and Nam Tai’s shareholders for all periods presented.
In addition, noncontrolling interests has been reported as a component of equity
in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of changes in
equity and comprehensive income for all periods presented. The Company has
retrospectively applied the presentation to its prior year balances in the
consolidated financial statements.
In
April 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful
Life of Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be
considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the
useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets”. This FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset in
this FSP shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the
effective date. This FSP is now codified as FASB ASC 350-20, “Intangibles —
Goodwill and Other Goodwill” effective for interim and annual periods ending
after September 15, 2009. The adoption of FASB ASC 350-20 did not have a
material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
In
June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 03-6-1,
“Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities”. This FSP gives guidance on the computation of
earnings per share and the impact of share-based instruments that contain
certain non forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. The FSP is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008 and is now
codified as FASB-ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” effective for interim
and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of
FASB-ASC 718 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.

Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
November 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Task Force in
EITF Issue 08-7, “Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets” (“EITF 08-7”).
EITF 08-7 requires entities that will acquire a defensive intangible asset after
the effective date of SFAS 141R which is now codified as FASB ASC 805 “Business
Combination” effective for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009, to account for the acquired intangible asset as a
separate unit of accounting and amortize the acquired intangible asset over the
period during which the asset would diminish in value. EITF 08-7 is effective
for defensive intangible assets acquired in fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The adoption of EITF 08-7 did not have a material impact
on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets
Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from
Contingencies “. FAS 141(R)-1 amends and clarifies FASB Statement No. 141
(revised 2007), “Business Combinations”, to address application issues raised by
preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on initial recognition
and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets
and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FAS
141(R)-1 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after
June 15, 2009, which is now codified as FASB ASC 805 “Business
Combination”. The adoption of FASB ASC 805 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and
Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2
amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt
securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation
and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities
in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and
measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity
securities. FSP SFAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for the interim and
annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, which is now codified as FASB
ASC 320 “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”. The adoption of FASB ASC 320
did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. FSP amends SFAS 107,
“Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures
about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of
publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP
also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require
those disclosures in summarized financial information effective for the interim
and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. SFAS 107 is now codified as
FASB ASC 825-10-50 “Financial Instrument-Overall-Disclosure”. The adoption of
FASB ASC 825-10-50 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 165 “Subsequent Events”. The objective
of this Statement is to establish general standards of accounting for and
disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is
effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009,
which is now codified as FASB ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”. The adoption of FASB
ASC 855 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position,
results of operations and cash flows. Effective February 24, 2010, the Company
adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events
(Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”,
which removes the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent
events have been evaluated. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material
impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 166, “Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”. The objective of
this Statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and
comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its
financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a
transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a
transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is
effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009,
which is now codified as FASB ASC 860-10 “Transfers and Servicing — Overall”.
The adoption of FASB ASC 860-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46” The objective of this Statement is to amend certain requirements of
FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities”, to improve financial reporting by enterprises
involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and
reliable information to users of financial statements. SFAS 167 is effective for
the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, which is now
codified as FASB ASC 810-10-50-2A “Consolidation – Overall –
Disclosure — Variable Interest Entities”. The adoption of FASB ASC 810-10-50-2A
did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.

Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and
the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a replacement of
FASB Statement No 162”, which supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and
reporting standards. The codification does not change GAAP but rather organizes
it into a new hierarchy with two levels: authoritative and non-authoritative.
All authoritative GAAP carries equal weight and is organized in a topical
structure. The adoption of SFAS 168 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In
August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures (Topic 820)”. This ASU applies to all entities that measure
liabilities at fair value within the scope of Topic 820 and provides
clarification on how to measure liabilities at fair value when a quoted price in
an active market is not available and clarify that it is not required to include
a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to a restriction of
transfer of liabilities. The adoption of ASU No. 2009-05 did not have a
material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
In
September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-06, “Income Taxes (Topic
740)—Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and
Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities”, and it provides implementation
guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes effective for interim and
annual reporting period ending on or after September 15, 2009. The adoption
of ASU No. 2009-06 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.
In
September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That
Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”. This update applies to
all entities that hold an investment that is required to be measured or
disclosed at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. These amendments
permit, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value
of investment on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment
and require disclosures by major category of investment within the scope of this
update. ASU No. 2009-12 is effective for interim and annual periods ending
after December 15, 2009 and the adoption is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
In
December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic
810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable
Interest Entities”. The amendments in this update are the result of FASB
Statement No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R)”,
which is now codified as FASB ASC 810-10-50-2A “Consolidation – Overall –
Disclosure - Variable Interest Entities” and is effective for the interim and
annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU
No. 2009-17 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02, “Consolidation (Topic
810)”, in which it clarifies that the scope of the decrease in ownership
provision of the Subtopic and related guidance applies to a subsidiary or group
of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity, but does not apply to sales
of substance real estate & conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights. ASU
No. 2010-02 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after
December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-02 is not expected to have
a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
None of
the above new pronouncements has current application to the Company, but may be
applicable to the Company’s future financial reporting.

The
Company has a federal net operating loss carry forward of $4,681,910 (2008: $2,740,553) available
to offset taxable income through to the year 2009. The Company recorded a
deferred income tax asset for the tax effect of net operating loss carry
forwards aggregating $4,681,910 (2008: $2,740,553), against
which the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance in recognition of the
uncertainty regarding the ultimate amount of income tax benefits to be derived.
Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and benefits from net operating
losses carried forward may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances.
Events which may cause limitations in the amount of net operating losses that
the Company may utilize in any one year include, but are not limited to, a
cumulative ownership change of more than 50 percent over a three-year period. At
December 31, 2009, the effect of such limitation, if imposed, has not been
determined.
At
December 31, 2009, the Company also had a net operating loss carried forward of
$4,681,910 (2007:
$2,740,553) in Hong Kong that is available for offset against future
profits for an unlimited period of time.

The shares have no par value.
Preferred

The
Company is authorized under its Articles of Incorporation to issue 10,000,000
shares of preferred stock, no par value per share. Of the 10,000,000 shares of
preferred stock authorized, 1,200,000 shares were designated as Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock and 1,800,000 shares were designated as Series B
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Certificates of Determination
that were approved by the Company's Board of Directors, and filed with and
accepted by, the Secretary of State of the State of California prior to the
closing of the exchange transaction.
Series A Preferred
Stock
Under the
terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Infosmart Shares held by the Infosmart
Shareholders were exchanged for 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A
Preferred Stock (the “Exchange”).
Series B Preferred Stock and
Warrants
The
consummation of the Exchange was contingent on a minimum of $7 million (or such
lesser amount as mutually agreed by Infosmart and the placement agent) being
subscribed for, and funded into escrow, by certain accredited and institutional
investors (“Investors”) for the purchase of shares of Series B Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company promptly after the closing the
Exchange under terms and conditions approved by the Company’s board of directors
immediately following the Exchange (the “Financing”). The closing of the
Financing was contingent on the closing of the Exchange, and the Exchange was
contingent on the closing of the Financing.
Immediately
following the closing of the Exchange, the Company received gross proceeds of
approximately $7.65 million in connection with the Financing from the Investors.
Pursuant to Subscription Agreements entered into with these Investors, the
Company sold 1,092,857.143 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock with
detachable warrants at a price per share of $7.00. Each share of Series B
Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock.
It will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the election
of the holder at a conversion price equal to $0.261 per share (“Conversion
Price”). The Company was required to register the common stock underlying the
Series B Preferred Stock and warrants issued in the Financing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for resale by the Investors. After deducting
placement agents’ commissions and expenses as detailed below, the Company
received net proceeds of approximately $6.89 million in the
Financing.
In
connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock to the Investors,
the Company issued warrants to the Investors to purchase an aggregate of
29,310,345 shares of common stock, on as-converted basis, of the Company. The
warrants have an exercise price of $0.326 per share, subject to
adjustments.
Keating

Placement Agents in connection with the Financing. For their services, the
Placement Agents received a commission equal to 8% of the gross proceeds or
approximately $587,000 from the offering and a non-accountable expense allowance
equal to 2% of the gross proceeds or approximately $153,000.

Voting:
The holders of Preferred Stock (including the Investors acquiring such shares as
part of the Financing after the closing of the Exchange) are entitled to vote
together with the holders of the common stock, as a single class, upon all
matters submitted to holders of common stock for a vote. Each share of Preferred
Stock will carry a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock
issue as if converted at the record date.
Dividends:
The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is cumulative, non-participating and
carries dividends at 8% per annum payable quarterly in cash in US
Dollars.
Conversion:
The outstanding and unconverted Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be

Additional paid-in
capital
The
Company allocated the net proceeds ($6,885,000) between the Series B Preferred
Stock ($3,738,827) and the warrants ($3,146,173) based upon their relative fair
values as of the closing date. The Company determined the fair value of the
warrants (including Placement Agent Warrants which were valued at $644,800)
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: no
dividend yield; weighted average risk free rate of 5.05%; volatility of 368% and
a contractual life of 5 years. The Company recorded the portion of the proceeds
attributable to the stock as mezzanine equity pursuant to EITF Topic D-98,
Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities after determining the
guidance in FAS 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity did not apply. The Company
determined that the warrants meet the definition of a derivative instrument as
defined in SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, but do not require derivative treatment pursuant to the scope
exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133.
The
Company evaluated whether the embedded conversion feature in the stock required
bifurcation and determined that the economic characteristics and risks of the
embedded conversion feature in the stock were clearly and closely related to the
stock and concluded that bifurcation was not required under SFAS 133. The
Company calculated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature
embedded in the stock ($2,297,157) pursuant to the guidance in EITF 00-27,
Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.

9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on
their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of
December 31, 2009, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and are operating
in an effective manner.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is
defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the
Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the
Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by
the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and
procedures that:
|
·
|
Pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Company;
|
|
·
|
Provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the Company; and
|
|
·
|
Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that
could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
|
Because
of its inherent limitations, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems
determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to
financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our
management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used
the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework.
Based on
our assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal
control over financial reporting is effective based on those
criteria.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered
public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report
in this annual report.
Changes
in Internal Controls
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our international
control over financial reporting.

the Summary Compensation Table above.
Employment
and Director Agreements
In August
2007, our predecessor entity, Infosmart Group, Limited, a company incorporated
in the British Virgin Islands (“Infosmart BVI”), entered into an employment
agreement with Parker Seto that provided for a starting monthly salary of
HK$83,000. Such salary is subject to an annual review by Infosmart BVI’s Board
of Directors (“Infosmart BVI Board”) at a time determined by the Infosmart BVI
Board. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Seto is also entitled to receive
reimbursements for all reasonable business, office personnel, company-related
entertainment, and travel expenses that he incurs or he pays for on behalf of
Infosmart BVI.
In June
2006, Infosmart BVI entered into an employment agreement with Po Nei Sze that
provided a starting monthly salary of HK$50,000 or approximately US$6,435. Such
salary is subject to an annual review by the Infosmart BVI Board at a time
determined by the Infosmart BVI Board. Under the terms of the agreement, Ms. Sze
is also entitled to receive reimbursements for all reasonable business, office
personnel, company-related entertainment, and travel expenses that she incurs or
she pays for on behalf of Infosmart BVI.
39
In June
2006, Infosmart BVI entered into an employment agreement with Chung Kwok for his
services as Chief Executive Officer and a director that provided for a base
monthly salary is HK$60,000. Such salary is subject to an annual review by the
Infosmart BVI Board at a time determined by the Infosmart BVI Board. Under the
terms of the agreement, Mr. Kwok is also entitled to receive reimbursements for
all reasonable business, office personnel, company-related entertainment and
travel expenses that he incurs or he pays for on behalf of Infosmart
BVI.
In July
2006, Infosmart BVI entered into an employment agreement with Andrew Chang that
provided a starting monthly salary of HK$50,000 or approximately US$6,435. Such
salary is subject to an annual review by the Infosmart BVI Board at a time
determined by the Infosmart BVI Board. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr.
Chang is also entitled to receive reimbursements for all reasonable business,
office personnel, company-related entertainment, and travel expenses that he
incurs or he pays for on behalf of Infosmart BVI.
Each of
the above-described employments agreements state the officer and/or directors
employment may be terminated immediately, without Infosmart BVI’s prior notice
or payment in lieu of notice if at any time the officer and or director (1)
becomes physically or mentally disabled whether totally or partially so that he
is substantially unable to perform his duties for a period of or for 30 days in
the aggregate in any period of six consecutive months, (2) is convicted of a
criminal offense, except one which in the reasonable of Infosmart BVI’s Board
does not affect his position with Infosmart BVI at the time of such conviction,
(3) commits repeated or continued (after warning) any persistent or material
breach of the employment agreement; (4) is guilty of willful neglect in
discharging his duties or commits any grave misconduct which in the absolute
opinion of the Infosmart BVI Board tends to bring himself or Infosmart BVI into
disrepute; or (5) commits an act of bankruptcy or compounded with his creditors
generally or is guilty of conduct which would make his continued appointment
prejudicial to the interests of Infosmart BVI. Further, the agreements provide
for employee insurance, mandatory provident fund benefits, and, after completion
of the three-month probation period, medical insurance. These agreements also
contain restrictive covenants preventing competition with Infosmart BVI during
their employment and for a period of 12 months after termination, and also
covenants preventing the use of confidential business information, except in
connection with the performance of their duties for Infosmart BVI, during or at
any time after termination of their employment.
We expect
to assume the above-described employment agreements our officers and directors
currently have with Infosmart BVI.
There are
no other employment agreements or arrangements with any of our directors or
named executive officers. We do not have a long term incentive plan or
arrangement of compensation with any individual in the group of officers and
directors.

Applicable
percentages are based on 161,560,520 shares of common stock
outstanding on March 31, 2009, adjusted as required by rules promulgated
by the SEC. Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes
any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement,
understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power,
which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and
(ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the
disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially
owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to
vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are
deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to
acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60
days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the
percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is
deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person
(and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result,
the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table
does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power
with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually
outstanding.

13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR
INDEPENDENCE
Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions
Described
below are certain transactions or series of transactions during our 2006 and
2007 fiscal years between us and our executive officers, directors, and the
beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock, and certain persons
affiliated with or related to these persons, including family members, in which
they had or will have a direct or indirect material interest in an amount that
exceeds $120,000, other than compensation arrangements that are otherwise
required to be described under "Executive Compensation."
Prior to the Share Exchange
Transaction
The
Company had a revolving $500,000 line of credit with Frank Yuan, former Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, and his spouse, Vicky Yuan. The line of credit
bore interest at 8% per annum and was to expire on February 2006. The line of
credit was terminated, and the Company’s obligations thereunder were assumed by
ASAP Show, Inc.
Pursuant
to a Stock Option Assumption Agreement entered into between the Company and
Frank Yuan as of May 31, 2005 (“Option Assumption Agreement”), Mr. Yuan agreed
to assume all obligations of the Company with respect to options to purchase
36,025 shares of the Company’s common stock held by certain employees and
consultants. In connection with the Option Assumption Agreement, Mr. Yuan
delivered a certificate representing 36,025 shares of the Company’s common
stock, which shares may be cancelled to the extent Yuan fails to deliver shares
to such holders upon exercise.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”)
by and among KI Equity, the Company, and Frank Yuan dated August 25, 2005, Mr.
Yuan agreed to indemnify KI Equity and the Company for certain claims and
liabilities arising prior to the closing of the Amended SPA for a limited
time.
On May
31, 2005, the Company entered into a Transfer and Assumption Agreement
(“Assumption Agreement”) with Frank Yuan and ASAP Show, Inc. (“ASAP”), a then
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, under which the Company transferred all
of its Assets (as defined therein) to ASAP and ASAP assumed all of the Company’s
liabilities (“Assumed Liabilities”). Under Section 5 of the Assumption
Agreement, ASAP and Mr. Yuan agreed to indemnify the Company for any claims and
liabilities relating to the Assumed Liabilities. Further, pursuant to Section 3
of the Assumption Agreement, an indemnity reserve for $50,000 (“Indemnity
Escrow”) was established to satisfy any claims that may arise for indemnity
under the Amended SPA or the Assumption Agreement. The Company retained the
Indemnity Escrow beyond the six month period after the closing of the Amended
SPA pending the resolution of the Preference Action discussed below, which was
resolved on June 21, 2007.
41
On March
7, 2006, a complaint was filed against the Company in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy
proceeding in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware in the matter
captioned In Re:
Factory 2-U Stores, Inc. (“Preference Action”). The complaint sought to
recover from the Company $91,572 in alleged preferential transfers made to the
Company by the debtor during the ninety-day period prior to the filing of the
debtor’s bankruptcy petition. The Company defended against the
preference claim by asserting that such transfers were made in the ordinary
course of business. On May 22, 2007, all parties entered into a settlement
agreement, subject to the bankruptcy court’s approval. The bankruptcy court
approved the settlement and dismissed the complaint with prejudice on June 21,
2007.
Effective
October 5, 2005, the Company entered into a contract with Vero Management,
L.L.C. (“Vero”) for managerial and administrative services, which contract was
amended effective November 1, 2005. Vero has not been engaged to provide, and
Vero does not render, legal, accounting, auditing, investment banking, or
capital formation services. Kevin R. Keating, a former officer and director of
the Company, is the manager of Vero. The term of the contract was for one year,
but the contract may be terminated at any time. In consideration of the services
provided, Vero was paid $2,500 for each month in which services are rendered.
The Company’s contract with Vero was terminated effective at the closing of the
share exchange transaction with Infosmart Group, Limited, a company incorporated
in the British Virgin Islands (“Infosmart BVI”), on August 16, 2006 (“Share
Exchange”).
Kevin R.
Keating was the sole officer and a director of the Company prior to the Share
Exchange. Kevin R. Keating is the father of Timothy J. Keating, the principal
member of Keating Investments, LLC. Keating Investments, LLC is the managing
member of KI Equity, (which was the majority shareholder of the Company prior to
the closing of the Share Exchange), Keating Securities, LLC, the registered
broker-dealer affiliate of Keating Investments, LLC, and KAMS. Kevin R. Keating
is not affiliated with and has no equity interest in Keating Investments, LLC,
KI Equity, KAMS, or Keating Securities, LLC and disclaims any beneficial
interest in the shares of the Company’s common stock owned by KI Equity.
Similarly, Keating Investments, LLC, KI Equity, KAMS, and Keating Securities,
LLC disclaim any beneficial interest in the shares of the Company’s common stock
currently owned by Kevin R. Keating. Kevin R. Keating is also the manager and
sole member of Vero Management, LLC, which had a management agreement with the
Company that terminated effective as of the closing of the Share
Exchange.
Margie L.
Blackwell, Luca Toscani, and Jeff L. Andrews were directors of the Company prior
to the closing of the Share Exchange. Ms. Blackwell and Mr. Toscani are each
members of Keating Investments, LLC, and Mr. Andrews is a Vice President of
Keating Investments, LLC.
At the
closing of the Share Exchange and pursuant to the terms of the share exchange
agreement with Infosmart BVI, the Company entered into financial advisory
agreement with Keating Securities, LLC (“Keating Securities”), a registered
broker-dealer, under which Keating Securities was compensated by the Company for
its advisory services rendered to the Company in connection with the Exchange.
Prior to the exchange, the Company was a public shell company. The transaction
advisory fee of $450,000 was paid to Keating Securities at the closing of the
Share Exchange.
Keating
Securities and Axiom Capital Management, Inc. (“Placement Agents”) acted as
placement agents in connection with the private placement that closed in August
of 2006 in which we sold Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and common stock
purchase warrants. For their services, the Placement Agents received a
commission equal to 8% of the gross proceeds from the offering and a
non-accountable expense allowance equal to 2% of the gross proceeds. In
addition, the Placement Agents received, for nominal consideration, warrants to
purchase 10% of the total number of shares of common stock into which the Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock issued in the private placement may be converted,
with an exercise price of $0.326 per share. The warrants are fully vested and
have a term of five years. The Placement Agent warrants have registration rights
similar to the registration rights afforded to the holders of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants. A total of 2,931,035 warrant shares
were granted to the Placement Agents, of which 1,658,045 were transferred to
Keating Securities’ agents and employees.
At the
closing of the Share Exchange, the Company entered into an aftermarket support
agreement between with Keating Aftermarket Support, LLC (“KAMS”), with such
terms and conditions as mutually acceptable to Infosmart BVI, the Company, and
KAMS. Pursuant to this agreement, the parties agreed that: (i) KAMS shall
provide after market support services to the Company for a period of one year
after the closing of the Share Exchange with the monthly retainer to be paid to
KAMS for such services being $12,500, (ii) the Company shall engage a qualified
research firm approved by KAMS to issue an independent research report and
provide research coverage on the Company following the closing of the Share
Exchange, with the Company being responsible for paying an estimated total cost
of $35,000 for an initial independent research report and three subsequent
quarterly reports thereafter, and (iii) the Company agreed to allocate a
$400,000 annual budget for third party aftermarket support and investor
relations services for the one year period after closing of the Share
Exchange.

The Share Exchange
Transaction
On
July 7, 2006, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with KI Equity
Partners LLC, Prime Fortune Enterprises Ltd. (“Prime”), the equity owners of
Prime, namely, Chung Kwok, Po Nei Sze, and Prime Corporate Developments Limited
(the “Prime Shareholders”), and Hamptons Investment Group Ltd. (“Hamptons”)
(collectively the “Infosmart BVI Shareholders”) to acquire all of the equity
ownership of Infosmart Group Limited, a company incorporated in the British
Virgin Islands (“Infosmart BVI”) through the acquisition of Prime, the former
100% direct equity owner and holding company of Infosmart BVI. Under the terms
of the Exchange Agreement, immediately prior to the closing of the share
exchange transaction, Hamptons was to receive 58.82352 shares of Prime’s capital
stock as payment for its services as a finder in connection with the exchange
transaction.
On August
11, 2006, Prime’s and Infosmart BVI’s boards of directors and their respective
shareholders agreed to restructure the ownership of Infosmart BVI’s issued
capital stock, resulting in the transfer of the entire equity ownership of
Infosmart BVI directly to Chung Kwok and the Prime Shareholders. On August 14,
2006, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Exchange Agreement with
KI Equity, Prime, the equity owners of Prime, Infosmart BVI, the equity owners
of Infosmart BVI (which also consisted of Chung Kwok, Lui Sau Wan, and Prime
Corporate Developments Limited), and Hamptons, whereby Infosmart BVI and the
Infosmart BVI Shareholders replaced Prime and the Prime Shareholders as parties
to the Exchange Agreement and assumed all of Prime’s and the Prime Shareholders’
obligations, representations, warranties, liabilities, and responsibilities
under the Exchange Agreement, including Prime’s obligation to issue the shares
of stock to compensate Hamptons for its services immediately prior to the
closing of the share exchange transaction. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement,
as amended by the First Amendment, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
shares of Infosmart BVI’s capital stock from the equity owners of Infosmart BVI
and Hamptons, and the Infosmart BVI Shareholders transferred and contributed all
of their Infosmart BVI shares to the Company. In exchange, the Company issued to
the Infosmart BVI Shareholders 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A
Preferred Stock, which were convertible into 116,721,360 shares of the Company’s
common stock and have since been converted in full. The share exchange
transaction closed on August 16, 2006.
Chung
Kwok is currently a resigned director of the Company, and the dollar value of
Mr. Kwok’s interest in the share exchange transaction was approximately $206,831
at the time of closing. Po Nei Sze is currently an executive officer of the
Company, and the dollar value of Ms. Sze’s interest in the share exchange
transaction was approximately $731,905 at the time of closing. Lui Sau Wan is a
5% shareholder of the Company, and the dollar value of Ms. Lui’s interest in the
share exchange transaction was approximately $243,584 at the time of
closing.
Other Related
Transactions
During
the period December 31, 2005 to the closing of Share Exchange on August 16,
2006, Prime Corporate Developments Limited, a related entity solely owned by the
Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Director Ms. Po Nei Sze, loaned
approximately $384,615 to Infosmart BVI in connection with the construction of
the Discobras manufacturing facility in Brazil. As of December 31,
2009, $316,097 of the original principal amount remains
outstanding. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009,
Infosmart BVI paid $NIL in principal of the original principal amount to Prime
Corporate Developments Limited, and there is no interest on the
loan.
