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

*On
November 6, 2009, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with
certain shareholders of its subsidiary, Subaye.com, Inc. Pursuant to the terms
of the Share Exchange, the Company issued 3,408,852 shares of its common stock
in exchange for all outstanding shares of common stock of Subaye.com, Inc. the
Company did not already own (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share
Exchange, Subaye.com, Inc., and the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Subaye.com,
Inc., effectively became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by GAAP for a complete financial presentation. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in the
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the full year. The Company’s
accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in the notes to
the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009 as filed with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission on December 29, 2009. These condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The
preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
became the sole source of GAAP as of September 15, 2009. References to the ASC
are made throughout this Form 10-Q and refer to specific sections of the ASC in
relation to the topics referenced within this Form 10-Q.
Adoption
of ASC 810-10-65, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB 51 (“ASC
810-10-65”)
The
adoption of ASC 810-10-65 did not have a material effect on the Company’s
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for the three months
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, or as of December 31, 2009 and
September 30, 2009, respectively. However, as a result of the retrospective
presentation and disclosure requirements of ASC 810-10-65, the adoption of ASC
810-10-65 did affect the presentation and disclosure of noncontrolling interests
and basic and diluted earnings per common share in the Company’s condensed
consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2008
and as of September 30, 2009, respectively.
ASC
810-10-65 establishes new standards that govern the accounting for and reporting
of (1) noncontrolling interest in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and
(2) the loss of control of subsidiaries. Significant changes to the
accounting for noncontrolling interests include (a) the inclusion of
noncontrolling interests in the equity section of the controlling entity’s
condensed consolidated balance sheet rather than in the mezzanine section and
(b) the requirement that changes in the controlling entity’s interest in
the noncontrolling interest, without a change in control, be recognized in the
controlling entity’s equity rather than being accounted for by the purchase
method, which accounting under the purchase method would have given rise to
goodwill.
The
Company has owned a majority interest of its subsidiary, Subaye.com, Inc., since
June 2006. The principal effect of the adoption of ASC 810-10-65 on the
September 30, 2009 condensed consolidated balance sheet was to reclassify
the noncontrolling interest of $10,180 thousand from the mezzanine section of
the balance sheet to stockholders’ equity attributable to noncontrolling
interest, thus increasing the total of the condensed consolidated stockholders’
equity by that amount, as follows:

|

|
|||
Equity,
as Adjusted
|
$
|
50,889
|
Additionally,
the adoption of ASC 810-10-65 requires that net income, as previously reported
prior to the adoption of ASC 810-10-65, be adjusted to include the net income
attributable to the noncontrolling interest, and that a new separate caption for
net income attributable to common shareholders be presented in the condensed
consolidated statements of operations. Thus, after the adoption of ASC
810-10-65, condensed consolidated net income increases by $471 thousand for the
three months ended December 31, 2008.
ASC
810-10-65 also requires similar disclosure regarding comprehensive income.
Therefore, after the adoption of ASC 810-10-65 condensed consolidated
comprehensive income increases by $471 for the three months ended December 31,
2008

relevant sections of the ASC, namely ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC
605”). The Company does not currently charge a cancellation fee or penalty if
and when a customer decides to terminate their membership with our
websites.
Current
terms of the www.subaye.com membership agreement stipulate that the customer
pays a nonrefundable fee of approximately $120 per month for access to the
marketing and advertising capabilities in place at www.subaye.com. The Company
does also providers SaaS software to its members, although, SaaS software
contracts are entered into separately and in addition to the regular membership
agreement.
Subaye.com
entered into agreements with two merchant service providers on October 2, 2009.
The merchant service providers have two tasks: (i) to assist the members of
www.subaye.com in preparing each member's corporate branding video, which is to
be uploaded to www.subaye.com and (ii) to assist Subaye.com with the daily
operations of www.subaye.com and more specifically, to collect the monthly
member fees, which are currently paid in cash, from the members of
www.subaye.com. Collecting these cash receipts, tracking which customers have
paid and which have not, and remitting the cash to the Company, is a time
intensive project each month. Subaye.com has never experienced collection issues
and does not expect any collection issues to occur in the future. The merchant
service providers were compensated with a total of 320,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock valued at $2,560 thousand on October 2, 2009. Each
agreement is for a term of three years. The Company amortizes the compensation
provided to these merchant service providers over the three year term and
records its revenues net of this stock compensation paid to the merchant service
providers, in accordance with ASC 605-45. The Company believes net revenue
presentation is reasonable given that it shares the obligation to perform with
these merchant service providers with regard to its membership contracts with
its customers.

development activities are expensed as incurred (such as planning and operating
stage activities). Costs relating to certain website application and
infrastructure development are generally capitalized, and are amortized over
their estimated useful lives. Since the Company's inception in
January 2005, the Company has not capitalized any costs incurred in website
development. All costs have been expensed as incurred. The
Company has capitalized the cost of acquiring the www.subaye.com website from an
unaffiliated third party and capitalized other websites acquired by the
Company’s other subsidiaries that previously acquired websites from unaffiliated
third parties.

The
Company amortizes its copyrights using the individual-film-forecast-computation
method, in accordance with ASC 926, which amortizes or accrues (expenses) such
costs in the same ratio that current period actual revenue (numerator) bears to
estimated remaining unrecognized ultimate revenue as of the beginning of the
current fiscal year (denominator). Total amortization of the copyrights was $65
thousand and $115 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively, and was included in cost of sales.
The
ultimate revenue to be included in the denominator of the
individual-film-forecast-computation method fraction is subject to certain
limitations as set forth in ASC 926. If an event or change in circumstance
indicates that the Company should assess whether the fair value of the copyright
is less than its unamortized costs, the Company will determine the fair value of
the film and will write off the amount by which the unamortized capitalized
costs exceeds the episode's fair value. Accordingly, the Company cannot
subsequently restore any amounts written off in previous fiscal years to
income.
Given the
environment in which the Company currently operates, it is reasonably possible
that management’s estimate of the economic useful lives of these assets or the
assumption that they will recover their carrying amounts from future operations,
could change in the future.
Intangible
assets of the Company are reviewed annually or more often if circumstances
dictate, to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The
Company considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future
projected cash flows from related operations. The Company also re-evaluates the
periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances
warrant revised estimates of useful lives. As of December 31, 2009 and September
30, 2009, respectively, the Company expects these assets, at their current
carrying value, to be fully recoverable.

10 – NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
On
November 6, 2009, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the
“Agreement”) with certain shareholders of its subsidiary, Subaye.com,
Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company issued
3,408,852 shares of its common stock, with a fair market value of $46,360
thousand, in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of
Subaye.com, Inc. that the Company did not already own (the “Share Exchange”). As
a result of the Share Exchange, Subaye.com, Inc. and each of the wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Subaye.com, Inc. effectively became wholly-owned subsidiaries of
the Company. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a change in the
ownership interests of the Company with an entity under common control, in
accordance with ASC 810-10-65. As a result, the value of the 3,408,852 shares
issued to consummate the Share Exchange was recorded by the Company as an
increase to stockholders' equity of $10,652 thousand, which represented the
historical cost basis of the balance of the net assets acquired through the
Share Exchange, which included significant assets as well as liabilities owed to
the Company.

11 - INCOME TAX
United
States of America
Since the
Company had no operations within the United States, there is no provision for
United States taxes and there are no deferred tax amounts for the three months
ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 respectively.
F-14
Delaware
The
Company and its subsidiary, Subaye.com, are incorporated in Delaware but do not
conduct business in Delaware. Therefore, the Company is not subject to corporate
income tax.
British
Virgin Islands
3G
Dynasty and Subaye IIP are incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and, under
the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, are not subject to income
taxes.
Hong
Kong
Media
Group International Ltd. and MyStarU Ltd. are incorporated in Hong Kong and are
subject to Hong Kong taxation on its activities conducted in Hong Kong and
income arising in or derived from Hong Kong. No provision for Hong Kong profits
tax has been made as the Company's Hong Kong subsidiaries incurred a loss during
the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The applicable
Hong Kong statutory tax rate as of December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009 was
17.5%, respectively.
People’s
Republic of China
Enterprise
income tax in PRC is generally charged at 25% of a company’s assessable profit,
of which 22% is a national tax and 3% is a local tax. The Company’s subsidiaries
incorporated in the PRC, namely Guangzhou Subaye and Panyu M&M, are subject
to PRC enterprises income tax at the applicable tax rates on the taxable income
as reported in their Chinese statutory accounts in accordance with the relevant
enterprises income tax laws applicable to foreign enterprises. Pursuant to the
same enterprises income tax laws, the Company’s subsidiaries are fully exempted
from PRC enterprises income tax for two years starting from the first
profit-making year, followed by a 50% tax exemption for the next three
years.
No
provision for enterprise income tax in the PRC had been made for the years ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 due to the fact that the Company was exempt from PRC
tax based on the statutory provisions granting a tax holiday for a two year
period, as stated above for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
respectively.
The
Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China
concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and various
local income tax laws (“the Income Tax Laws”). Under the Income Tax Laws,
foreign investment enterprises (“FIE”) generally are subject to an income tax at
an effective rate of 25% on income as reported in their statutory financial
statements after appropriate tax adjustments unless the enterprise is located in
specially designated regions of cities for which more favorable effective tax
rates apply. Upon approval by the PRC tax authorities, FIEs scheduled to operate
for a period of 10 years or more and engaged in manufacturing and production may
be exempt from income taxes for two years, commencing with their first
profitable year of operations, after taking into account any losses brought
forward from prior years, and thereafter with a 50% exemption for the next three
years.
Beginning
January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law of the People’s
Republic of China replaced the existing laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DES”)
and FIEs.
The key
changes are:
a.
|
The new standard EIT rate of 25%
will replace the 33% rate currently applicable to both DES and FIEs,
except for “high tech companies” who pay a reduced rate of 15%. The
Company currently believes it will qualify as a high tech company under
the rule.
|
b.
|
Companies established before
March 16, 2007 will continue to enjoy tax holiday treatment approved by
local government for a grace period of the next five years or until the
tax holiday term is completed, whichever is
sooner.
|
F-15
The
Company and all of its subsidiaries, except for Subaye IIP, were established
before March 16, 2007. Subaye IIP is a British Virgin Islands entity and is 100%
owned by the Company. Subaye IIP is therefore treated as a pass-through entity
for PRC tax purposes and is therefore not subject to PRC taxes.
The
provision for enterprise income tax in the PRC is $883 thousand for the three
months ended December 31, 2009. No provision for enterprise income tax in the
PRC had been made the three months ended December 31, 2008 due to the fact that
certain subsidiaries of the Company are exempt from PRC tax based on the
statutory provisions granting a tax holiday for a two year period, as stated
above, specifically for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The Company’s PRC tax holiday expired on October 1,
2009. The following table details the aggregate effect of the tax
holiday on the Company’s results of operations.

normal course of business, the Company leases office space under operating lease
agreements. The Company rents office space, primarily for regional sales
administration offices, in commercial office complexes that are conducive to
administrative operations. The operating lease agreements generally contain
renewal options that may be exercised at the Company's discretion after the
completion of the base rental terms. In addition, many of the rental agreements
provide for regular increases to the base rental rate at specified
intervals, which usually occur on an annual basis.
On July
1, 2008, the Company entered into a lease for new office space in Foshan City,
Guangdong, China for approximately $5 thousand per month through June 30,
2011.
On

NOTE
15 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In
October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
amended revenue recognition guidance for arrangements with multiple
deliverables. The new guidance eliminates the residual method of revenue
recognition and allows the use of management’s best estimate of selling price
for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor specific objective
evidence (VSOE), vendor objective evidence (VOE) or third-party evidence (TPE)
is unavailable. For the Company, this guidance is effective for all new or
materially modified arrangements entered into on or after October 1, 2011 with
earlier application permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. Full
retrospective application of the new guidance is optional. The Company is
currently assessing its implementation of this new guidance, but does not expect
a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
F-18
In
October 2009, the FASB issued guidance which amends the scope of existing
software revenue recognition accounting. Tangible products containing software
components and non-software components that function together to deliver the
product’s essential functionality would be scoped out of the accounting guidance
on software and accounted for based on other appropriate revenue recognition
guidance. For the Company, this guidance is effective for all new or
materially modified arrangements entered into on or after October 1, 2011 with
earlier application permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. Full
retrospective application of the new guidance is optional. This guidance must be
adopted in the same period that the Company adopts the amended accounting for
arrangements with multiple deliverables described in the preceding paragraph.
The Company is currently assessing its implementation of this new guidance, but
does not expect a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
On
October 1, 2009, the Company adopted the revised FASB guidance regarding
business combinations which was required to be applied to business combinations
on a prospective basis. The revised guidance requires that the acquisition
method of accounting be applied to a broader set of business combinations,
amends the definition of a business combination, provides a definition of a
business, requires an acquirer to recognize an acquired business at its fair
value at the acquisition date and requires the assets and liabilities assumed in
a business combination to be measured and recognized at their fair values as of
the acquisition date (with limited exceptions). There was no impact upon
adoption and the effects of this guidance will depend on the nature and
significance of business combinations occurring after the effective
date.
In
August 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the measurement of liabilities at
fair value. The guidance provides clarification that in circumstances in which a
quoted market price in an active market for an identical liability is not
available, an entity is required to measure fair value using a valuation
technique that uses the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an
asset or, if unavailable, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar
assets when traded as assets. If none of this information is available, an
entity should use a valuation technique in accordance with existing fair
valuation principles. The Company adopted this guidance in the quarter ended
September 30, 2009 and there was no material impact on the consolidated
financial statements.
On
July 1, 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (the Codification). The Codification became the single source of
authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, superseding existing FASB, American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) and related literature. The Codification eliminates the previous US GAAP
hierarchy and establishes one level of authoritative GAAP. All other literature
is considered non-authoritative. The Codification was effective for interim and
annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted the
Codification for the year ending September 30, 2009. There was no impact to
the consolidated financial results as this change is disclosure-only in
nature.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting rules for
variable interest entities (VIEs) and for transfers of financial assets. The new
guidance for VIEs eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for
determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and requires
ongoing qualitative reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary
beneficiary. In addition, qualifying special purpose entities (QSPEs) are no
longer exempt from consolidation under the amended guidance. The amendments also
limit the circumstances in which a financial asset, or a portion of a financial
asset, should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire
original financial asset to an entity that is not consolidated with the
transferor in the financial statements being presented, and/or when the
transferor has continuing involvement with the transferred financial asset. The
Company will adopt these amendments for interim and annual reporting periods
beginning on October 1, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of these
amendments to have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued guidelines on subsequent event accounting which
sets forth: 1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management
of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for
potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; 2) the
circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions
occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and 3) the
disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that
occurred after the balance sheet date. These guidelines were effective for
interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and the Company
adopted them in the quarter ended June 30, 2009. There was no impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
F-19
In
April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on determining fair value when the
volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly
decreased, and in identifying transactions that are not orderly. Based on the
guidance, if an entity determines that the level of activity for an asset or
liability has significantly decreased and that a transaction is not orderly,
further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant
adjustment to the transaction or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair
value. The guidance was effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual
periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance in
the quarter ended June 30, 2009, and there was no material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition and presentation of
other-than-temporary impairments on investments in debt securities. If an
entity’s management asserts that it does not have the intent to sell a debt
security and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the
security before recovery of its cost basis, then an entity may separate
other-than-temporary impairments into two components: 1) the amount related to
credit losses (recorded in earnings), and 2) all other amounts (recorded in
other comprehensive income). This guidance was effective on a prospective basis
for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company
adopted this guidance for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, and there was no
material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued additional requirements regarding interim
disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments which were previously
only disclosed on an annual basis. Entities are now required to disclose the
fair value of financial instruments which are not recorded at fair value in the
financial statements in both their interim and annual financial statements. The
new requirements were effective for interim and annual periods ending after
June 15, 2009 on a prospective basis. The Company adopted these
requirements in the quarter ended June 30, 2009. There was no impact on the
consolidated financial results as this relates only to additional
disclosures.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the revised business
combination guidance regarding the accounting for assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. The
requirements of this amended guidance carry forward without significant revision
the guidance on contingencies which existed prior to January 1, 2009.
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise
from contingencies are recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably
estimated. If fair value cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability
would generally be recognized in accordance with the Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) Topic 450 on contingencies. There was no impact upon
adoption.
In
April 2008, the FASB issued new requirements regarding the determination of
the useful lives of intangible assets. In developing assumptions about renewal
or extension options used to determine the useful life of an intangible asset,
an entity needs to consider its own historical experience adjusted for
entity-specific factors. In the absence of that experience, an entity shall
consider the assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or
extension options. The new requirements apply to intangible assets acquired
after October 1, 2009. The adoption of these new rules did not have a
material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance on noncontrolling interests in
consolidated financial statements. This guidance requires that the
noncontrolling interest in the equity of a subsidiary be accounted for and
reported as equity, provides revised guidance on the treatment of net income and
losses attributable to the noncontrolling interest and changes in ownership
interests in a subsidiary and requires additional disclosures that identify and
distinguish between the interests of the controlling and noncontrolling owners.
Pursuant to the transition provisions, the Company adopted this new guidance on
October 1, 2009 via retrospective application of the presentation and
disclosure requirements.
F-20
In
March 2008, the FASB issued new disclosure requirements regarding
derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities must now provide
enhanced disclosures on an interim and annual basis regarding how and why the
entity uses derivatives; how derivatives and related hedged items are accounted
for, and how derivatives and related hedged items affect the entity’s financial
position, financial results and cash flow. Pursuant to the transition
provisions, the Company adopted these new requirements on October 1, 2009.
These new requirements do not impact the consolidated financial results as they
are disclosure-only in nature.
The FASB
guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures became effective
January 1, 2008. However, in February 2008, the FASB delayed the
effective date regarding fair value measurements and disclosures of nonfinancial
assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at
least annually), to October 1, 2009. The adoption of these provisions
related to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on October 1,
2009 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
In
June 2008, the FASB issued guidance in determining whether instruments
granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities. The
guidance became effective on October 1, 2009 via retrospective application.
According to the new guidance, unvested share-based payment awards that contain
non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating
securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share (EPS)
pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per
share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to
dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in
undistributed earnings. The adoption of these provisions is not expected to have
a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Highlights
and Executive Summary
For the
three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported revenues of $12,714
thousand, an increase of 29% from revenues of $9,856 thousand reported for the
three months ended December 31, 2008. Net income was $2,946 thousand for
the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $2,944 thousand for the
three months ended December 31, 2008. The Company continued to expand its video
advertising membership base and generated a 49% increase in its trade services
business segment as the Company’s trade services business segment continued to
recover from the 2008 global economic crisis. Net income for 2009 was also
impacted by income taxes of $883 thousand. The three months ended December 31,
2009 represented the first reporting period since 2006 where the Company’s
subsidiaries operating in China did not have a tax free holiday in effect. Taxes
are being calculated using a blended rate based on assumptions associated with
certain operations of the Company being taxed within mainland China and other
operations being taxed outside of mainland China.

Revenues
increased by $2,858 thousand:
Revenues
totaled $12,714 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared
to $9,856 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2008. The increase of
$2,858 thousand is due primarily to 21% and 49% growth in the online membership
services and trading services business segments for the three months ended
December 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008,
respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2009, Subaye will focus
on further developing its online video advertising business. Our third Asian
motion picture investment, Dayoucun, generated $26 thousand in revenues for the
period from release, December 22, 2009 through December 31, 2009. Dayoucun was
released in theatres at the same time as certain other major motion pictures and
faced very strong competition. We expect Dayoucun will produce more significant
revenues in the next few months as the audiences in Asia begin to choose other
motion pictures to view, in addition to the several extremely successful motion
pictures currently playing in theatres.
Costs
of Sales increased by $972 thousand:
Costs of
sales were $7,111 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared
to $6,139 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Costs of sales
for the online membership services business segment decreased by 54% for the
three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended
December 31, 2008. The Company’s www.subaye.com
website was fully amortized as of September 30, 2009. As a result, costs of
sales for the three months ended December 31, 2009 included amortization of the
Company’s secondary websites, SaaS software and related hardware and
amortization of stock based compensation related to the two new merchant service
provider contracts of $189 thousand. . Also, cost of sales of the trading
services segment increased by $1,340 thousand due to increased sales and the
entertainment media segment experienced a large increase in cost of sales, for
advertising related to the release of a movie, in the amount of $1,297
thousand.
5
Operating
expenses increased by $1,003 thousand:
For the
three months ended December 31, 2009, we incurred operating expenses of $1,774
thousand as compared to $771 thousand for the three months ended December 31,
2008. Advertising expense was $427 thousand and $108 thousand for the three
months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Stock-based compensation
expense included in operating expenses totaled $830 thousand and $311 thousand
for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Certain
significant stock based compensation was issued in the three months ended
December 31, 2009 and in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. As a result,
amortization of stock based compensation for the three months ended December 31,
2009 was significant. The full value of the stock issuances will be amortized
over the term of the related contracts, many of which are for two or three years
in length.
Net
income increased by $2 thousand:
Subaye
generated net income of $2,946 thousand for the three months ended December 31,
2009 as compared to $2,944 thousand for the three months ended December 31,
2008. The Company was not subject to income taxes of any significant amount for
the three months ended December 31, 2008 as a result of the PRC tax holidays
granted to the Company for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company
generated 29.9% net income growth when excluding the effect of income taxes for
the three months ended December 31, 2009.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
December 31, 2009, we had a cash balance of $2,668 thousand, consisting of money
held in banks in mainland China and Hong Kong banks and cash in hand. We
currently have no cash positions in the United States of America. We have been
funding our operations through receipts from customers and equity-based
financing such as the sale of our common stock, when needed.
Management
has invested substantial time evaluating and considering numerous proposals for
possible investments, acquisitions or business combinations, either sought out
by management or presented to management by investment professionals, the
Company’s advisers and others. We continue to consider acquisitions, business
combinations, or start up proposals, which could be advantageous to our
shareholders. No assurance can be given that any such project, acquisition or
combination will be concluded, or that all these actions will be approved by our
Board of Directors.
Net cash
provided by operations for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was $314
thousand. We generated $2,946 thousand in net income for the three months ended
December 31, 2009. A total of $1,347 thousand in depreciation and amortization
was recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2009. We recorded $1,040
thousand in amortization expense related to stock based compensation. Accounts
receivable decreased by $2,183 thousand. The net additional investments in
copyrights for the three months ended December 31, 2009 totaled $6,828
thousand.
Net cash
provided by investing activities was $0 for the three months ended December 31,
2009.
Net cash
provided by financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2009
was $2,109 thousand. The Company raised $2,109 thousand from bank loans with one
year terms during the three months ended December 31, 2009.
Our
future growth is dependent on our ability to execute on our business plans,
raise capital for expansion, and to seek additional revenue sources. If we
decide to pursue any acquisition opportunities or other expansion opportunities,
we may need to raise additional capital, although there can be no assurances
that such capital-raising activities would be successful.
6
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
no off-balance sheet arrangements that will have a current or future effect on
our financial condition and changes in financial condition in 2010 or
2009.
Protection
of Intellectual Property
The
Company currently holds approximately $24,386 thousand in copyrights covering
programming rights for movies, internet broadcasts, DVDs and television
programming. We cannot guarantee that if a competitor or anyone else were to
commence litigation against us, we would be able to adequately defend our
position and retain ownership and value in the intellectual
property.
Capital
Requirements
In 2009
and 2008, the Company raised significant financing by issuing equity securities,
namely the Company’s common stock. If management determines that additional
financing is necessary, we may not be able to continue to find adequate sources
of financing in the future. Certain business segments in which we have committed
to expanding operations, namely the “Entertainment Media” business segment,
involve very significant capital requirements.
Trends,
Events, and Uncertainties
The
present demand for our products will be dependent on, among other things, market
acceptance of the Company’s concept, the quality of its products, and general
economic conditions which are cyclical in nature. The Company’s business
operations may be adversely affected by increased competition and prolonged
recessionary periods in China.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital
resources are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of
consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to make assumptions
and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and the related disclosures.
The assumptions, estimates and judgments included within these estimates are
based on historical experience, current trends and other factors we believe to
be relevant at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. On
a regular basis, the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments
are reviewed to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are presented
fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their
effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from
the assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be
material.
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements,
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but are not limited to:
(1) asset impairments and (2) depreciable lives of assets. Future events
and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty, and accordingly,
accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates
used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements will change as
new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is
obtained and as our operating environment changes. We evaluate and update these
assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to
assist with these evaluations. Actual results could differ from the estimates
that have been used.
Significant
accounting policies are discussed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies, to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We
believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid in fully
understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, as they require
management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, and to make
estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently
uncertain.

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

New
Accounting Policies and Pronouncements
In
October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
amended revenue recognition guidance for arrangements with multiple
deliverables. The new guidance eliminates the residual method of revenue
recognition and allows the use of management’s best estimate of selling price
for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor specific objective
evidence (VSOE), vendor objective evidence (VOE) or third-party evidence (TPE)
is unavailable. For the Company, this guidance is effective for all new or
materially modified arrangements entered into on or after October 1, 2011 with
earlier application permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. Full
retrospective application of the new guidance is optional. The Company is
currently assessing its implementation of this new guidance, but does not expect
a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In
October 2009, the FASB issued guidance which amends the scope of existing
software revenue recognition accounting. Tangible products containing software
components and non-software components that function together to deliver the
product’s essential functionality would be scoped out of the accounting guidance
on software and accounted for based on other appropriate revenue recognition
guidance. For the Company, this guidance is effective for all new or
materially modified arrangements entered into on or after October 1, 2011 with
earlier application permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. Full
retrospective application of the new guidance is optional. This guidance must be
adopted in the same period that the Company adopts the amended accounting for
arrangements with multiple deliverables described in the preceding paragraph.
The Company is currently assessing its implementation of this new guidance, but
does not expect a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
8
On
October 1, 2009, the Company adopted the revised FASB guidance regarding
business combinations which was required to be applied to business combinations
on a prospective basis. The revised guidance requires that the acquisition
method of accounting be applied to a broader set of business combinations,
amends the definition of a business combination, provides a definition of a
business, requires an acquirer to recognize an acquired business at its fair
value at the acquisition date and requires the assets and liabilities assumed in
a business combination to be measured and recognized at their fair values as of
the acquisition date (with limited exceptions). There was no impact upon
adoption and the effects of this guidance will depend on the nature and
significance of business combinations occurring after the effective
date.
In
August 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the measurement of liabilities at
fair value. The guidance provides clarification that in circumstances in which a
quoted market price in an active market for an identical liability is not
available, an entity is required to measure fair value using a valuation
technique that uses the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an
asset or, if unavailable, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar
assets when traded as assets. If none of this information is available, an
entity should use a valuation technique in accordance with existing fair
valuation principles. The Company adopted this guidance in the quarter ended
September 30, 2009 and there was no material impact on the consolidated
financial statements.
On
July 1, 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (the Codification). The Codification became the single source of
authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, superseding existing FASB, American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) and related literature. The Codification eliminates the previous US GAAP
hierarchy and establishes one level of authoritative GAAP. All other literature
is considered non-authoritative. The Codification was effective for interim and
annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted the
Codification for the year ending September 30, 2009. There was no impact to
the consolidated financial results as this change is disclosure-only in
nature.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued amendments to the accounting rules for
variable interest entities (VIEs) and for transfers of financial assets. The new
guidance for VIEs eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for
determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and requires
ongoing qualitative reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary
beneficiary. In addition, qualifying special purpose entities (QSPEs) are no
longer exempt from consolidation under the amended guidance. The amendments also
limit the circumstances in which a financial asset, or a portion of a financial
asset, should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire
original financial asset to an entity that is not consolidated with the
transferor in the financial statements being presented, and/or when the
transferor has continuing involvement with the transferred financial asset. The
Company will adopt these amendments for interim and annual reporting periods
beginning on October 1, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of these
amendments to have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued guidelines on subsequent event accounting which
sets forth: 1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management
of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for
potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; 2) the
circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions
occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and 3) the
disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that
occurred after the balance sheet date. These guidelines were effective for
interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and the Company
adopted them in the quarter ended June 30, 2009. There was no impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
9
In
April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on determining fair value when the
volume and level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly
decreased, and in identifying transactions that are not orderly. Based on the
guidance, if an entity determines that the level of activity for an asset or
liability has significantly decreased and that a transaction is not orderly,
further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant
adjustment to the transaction or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair
value. The guidance was effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual
periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance in
the quarter ended June 30, 2009, and there was no material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition and presentation of
other-than-temporary impairments on investments in debt securities. If an
entity’s management asserts that it does not have the intent to sell a debt
security and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the
security before recovery of its cost basis, then an entity may separate
other-than-temporary impairments into two components: 1) the amount related to
credit losses (recorded in earnings), and 2) all other amounts (recorded in
other comprehensive income). This guidance was effective on a prospective basis
for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company
adopted this guidance for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, and there was no
material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued additional requirements regarding interim
disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments which were previously
only disclosed on an annual basis. Entities are now required to disclose the
fair value of financial instruments which are not recorded at fair value in the
financial statements in both their interim and annual financial statements. The
new requirements were effective for interim and annual periods ending after
June 15, 2009 on a prospective basis. The Company adopted these
requirements in the quarter ended June 30, 2009. There was no impact on the
consolidated financial results as this relates only to additional
disclosures.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the revised business
combination guidance regarding the accounting for assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies. The
requirements of this amended guidance carry forward without significant revision
the guidance on contingencies which existed prior to January 1, 2009.
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise
from contingencies are recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably
estimated. If fair value cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability
would generally be recognized in accordance with the Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) Topic 450 on contingencies. There was no impact upon
adoption.
In
April 2008, the FASB issued new requirements regarding the determination of
the useful lives of intangible assets. In developing assumptions about renewal
or extension options used to determine the useful life of an intangible asset,
an entity needs to consider its own historical experience adjusted for
entity-specific factors. In the absence of that experience, an entity shall
consider the assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or
extension options. The new requirements apply to intangible assets acquired
after October 1, 2009. The adoption of these new rules did not have a
material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance on noncontrolling interests in
consolidated financial statements. This guidance requires that the
noncontrolling interest in the equity of a subsidiary be accounted for and
reported as equity, provides revised guidance on the treatment of net income and
losses attributable to the noncontrolling interest and changes in ownership
interests in a subsidiary and requires additional disclosures that identify and
distinguish between the interests of the controlling and noncontrolling owners.
Pursuant to the transition provisions, the Company adopted this new guidance on
October 1, 2009 via retrospective application of the presentation and
disclosure requirements.
In
March 2008, the FASB issued new disclosure requirements regarding
derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities must now provide
enhanced disclosures on an interim and annual basis regarding how and why the
entity uses derivatives; how derivatives and related hedged items are accounted
for, and how derivatives and related hedged items affect the entity’s financial
position, financial results and cash flow. Pursuant to the transition
provisions, the company adopted these new requirements on October 1, 2009.
These new requirements do not impact the consolidated financial results as they
are disclosure-only in nature.
10
The FASB
guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures became effective
January 1, 2008. However, in February 2008, the FASB delayed the
effective date regarding fair value measurements and disclosures of nonfinancial
assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at
least annually), to October 1, 2009. The adoption of these provisions
related to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on October 1,
2009 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
In
June 2008, the FASB issued guidance in determining whether instruments
granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities. The
guidance became effective on October 1, 2009 via retrospective application.
According to the new guidance, unvested share-based payment awards that contain
non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating
securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share (EPS)
pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per
share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to
dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in
undistributed earnings. The adoption of these provisions is not expected to have
a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the
Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated
to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or
officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing
similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Pursuant
to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation
with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the
effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the three months ended
December 31, 2009. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2009, our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable
assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.
In light
of the material weaknesses described below, we performed additional analysis and
other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we
believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in
all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows for the periods presented.
A
material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 5) or
combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility
that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will
not be prevented or detected. Management has identified three material
weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of December 31,
2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, including (i)
the number of audit adjustments recorded for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2009 and 2008, (ii) a lack of segregation of duties, and (iii) weaknesses
related to document control.

It should
be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part
upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these
and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions.
