Aspire Guangxi

In June, 2008 we set up a wholly owned foreign enterprise (“WOFE”) operation Aspire GuangXi Inc. (“Aspire GuangXi”)in GuangXi, China, which has enabling us to operate mines in Guangxi. Aspire GuangXi is a fully owned subsidiary of Perfisans Networks, and is focused on managing the GuangXi Manganese mining Project.

Aspire Guangxi Inc is an exploration and mining development company located in China. Aspire Guangxi’s long term initiative is to acquire, develop and operate high grade open pit mines throughout North, South and Central China. Primary targets will be base metal projects that are amenable to accelerated development and early production.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

Manganese is one of the world's most abundant elements and the twelfth most available mineral in the earth's crust. More than 80% of the world’s manganese resources are in Gabon, South Africa, Australia, Brazil, and Ukraine. China, South Africa, Gabon, Australia, and Brazil are some of the leading manganese producing countries.

In 2006, Manganese alloy consumption was estimated to account for over 84% of total manganese consumption. SiMn alloy is the fastest and largest manganese alloy that is projected to grow at an average rate of 4% over the forecast period, 2001-2010. The Asian-pacific region is the largest and fastest growing region for ferro manganese and silico manganese alloys; is the region is projected to consume 1.6 million metric tons and 2.2 million metric tons respectively by 2010.

Manganese is mostly used in steel production. Total manganese consumption by the steel industry is projected to grow at a CAR of 3.1% over the forecast period, 2001-2010. More than 80% of manganese produced across the world is consumed by steel. Therefore, manganese consumption is mainly based on steel demand and is directly influenced by the steel industry. Over the past three years, as steel witnessed an increase both in production and demand, manganese consumption increased simultaneously. Demand for steel has been rising due to ongoing economic leading to rapid growth in various industries in the world's two largest populous countries in Asia-pacific, China and India, with simultaneous increase in production leading to wide fluctuations is steel prices. Other countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan; Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Latin America have witnessed an increase in steel consumption. With increases in steel consumption in China, many manganese production facilities have been formed recently. As China and India exhibited phenomenal economic growth for the past four years, with rapid expansion in almost all the industries, changing lifestyles, increasing disposable income, changing consumer thinking, rising consumption, and various other factors; demand for steel witnessed an increase that lead to an increase in manganese demand,

Ferro Manganese and Silico Manganese are the two forms of manganese that are widely used in steel production. The percentage of carbon present in these alloys is of primary importance for steel production. Apart from steel, batteries such as lithium and dry cell batteries also consume manganese at the time of their production.

In specialty alloys, where nickel is replaced, in part or entirely by manganese, the manganese content can run as high as 16 percent. Hadfield Steel contains 13 percent or more manganese. This brand of steel requires toughness and wear-resistance for applications in gyratory crushers, jaw crusher plates, rail steel and cutting edges for earth-moving equipment.

Some manganese compounds have been added to gasoline to boost octane rating and reduce engine knocking. In organic chemistry, manganese dioxide is used as a reagent for the oxidation of benzylic alcohols. Manganese has a vast array of industrial uses – rust and corrosion prevention on steel, paint pigments, dry cell and alkaline batteries, animal feed, glass production, fertilizers and many medical and health applications.

China will depend upon the manganese in railroad steel as the country dramatically expands its rail system over the next decade.

The automotive industry will depend upon manganese for the next generation of hybrid electric automobiles and fuel cells. Manganese can not only reduce costs in car body components – offering less weight in auto frames, but it can also add greater structural strength. Toyota reportedly is close to perfecting a lithium-manganese ion battery for the Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV). Aluminum alloys utilize small quantities of manganese to enhance corrosion resistance. Many commercial copper alloys contain up to two percent manganese. And uranium ore is processed with manganese as an oxidizing agent to produce yellowcake for use in nuclear reactors.

New applications for manganese are being researched. Recently, at Kyoto University in Japan, researchers developed a new process designed to reproduce the photosynthesis process. By using manganese dioxide, it may be possible to absorb a large quantity of carbon dioxide emissions, which contribute to global warming.

According to the International Iron and Steel Institute, world crude steel production of the 67 reporting countries increased by 10.2 percent in 2007 compared to the comparable period a year earlier.

In the report for 2007, the International Manganese Institute announced, “Manganese demand prospects have never been so good.” Key points included:

	•	Manganese intensive steel grades to grow faster than average

	•	Specific manganese consumption growing again

	•	Limited down risks for the next ten to fifteen years

The report also indicated that Manganese intensive steels represent 13 percent of total stainless steel production but consume 41 percent of the total amount of manganese consumed by the steel industry.

THE MARKET OPPORTUNITY

In the natural resources arena today, most of China consists of rather small mining projects with moderate returns. We would like to grow the business into an economical scale in China. The mission of Aspire GuangXi is to get to a position to develop a large-scale mining project capable of generating lucrative and immediate returns in China.

The manganese market in year 2007 has won a significant growth in the market dimension. In year 2007, the manganese output has grown to 860,000t, a 130,000t more than that in year 2006, with an increasing ration of 17.8%. The amount added has been over 100,000t in the successive two years.

Therein, the total output of stainless steel in the first half of 2007 has grew to 15,208 thousand tons, about 11.6% more than that in the first half of 2006. The increase mainly comes from Asian countries, particularly from China. The output in Asia in the first half of 2007 increased to 8,467 thousand tons, about 16.7% more while the output in Western countries is about 11,785 thousand tons, just 2.9% more.

Since the end of 2006, the cost of 300-series stainless has been driven higher by the price increase of nickel and the market of chrome-nickel, austenitic stainless steel is gradually taken up by other materials. Especially in countries that have lower requirements on the anti-corrosive ability, such as China, the demand of 200-series stainless steel, with lower content of nickel is increasing gradually. The economists of International Stainless Steel Forum claimed the output of global chrome-manganese stainless steel production has more than doubled. And the global market demand for 200-series stainless steel will make up for 11% of the total demand of stainless steel. While in China, 200-series stainless steel has shared almost 20% of the Chinese market.

In 2007, due to the strong demand, price of 200-series stainless steel increased gradually but consistently, also pulling the price of manganese up. But the increasing price of manganese flake added to the costs of the 200-series stainless steel.

China contains many manganese resources, but the manganese ore is in low grade, and there is a high content of impurities, thus it is difficult to utilize. With the rapid development of the manganese industry, the domestic supply of manganese ore could not meet the demand while the content of manganese ore has been decreasing after many years of growth.

GUANGXI FENG CHENG MANGANESE MINING PROPERTY

The Fang Cheng Manganese project is located in the GuangXi province. The mining site is 13km from the major highway, 60km from the Fang Cheng Port. The mining site has completed all the necessary government licenses on a 21.3 km² area with a 10 years mining right, extendable to 50 years. The mine site has good access to water source, electricity, roads and necessary facilities.

Guangxi is the largest manganese ore manufacturing location. The mining area is located at the largest manganese ore mineralization belts in Guangxi.

Southeastern China contains the most important metallogenic provinces in China, including world-class industrial, base and precious metal deposits. Revival of commodity prices over the last several years, combined with large-scale economic expansion in China and its need for large supplies of basic raw materials such as iron, coal and manganese for steel production has encouraged exploration companies to investigate the mining potential of the country. Aspire Guangxi has chosen to take advantage of this opportunity by acquiring, subject to the terms of its agreements with various landowners, a 70% interest in a concession referred to as the Na Wang Project; it has an area of 2130 hectares (21.3 km2) and contains a minimum of five manganese mineralized zones. The Project lies near Na Wang Village, about 25 kilometers northwest of Fang Cheng City, Guangxi Province, Southeastern People’s Republic of China. It is centered at Latitude 21 degrees 56’ 00’’ North, Longitude 108 degrees 14’ 30’’ East. Access to the Na Wang Project is by paved two-lane roads from the city of Fang Cheng to the town of Pingyang, a distance of approximately 40 kilometers, and from there by secondary and tertiary gravel and dirt roads a distance of 23 kilometers to Na Wang village and the Na Wang mining concession. The climate is sub-tropical with annual average temperature from 21.8 degrees C to 29.1 degrees C. For the entire year there is no frost and the annual rain fall is about 2822.9mm. Most rain falls from May to September. June to September is usually typhoon season. The highest elevation in the Na Wang area is 271.0 m above sea level (“A.S.L.”) and the lowest is 75m A.S.L. There is no significant industry in this area. Rice is the main crop, which is followed by sweet potatoes, corn, soy beans and cassava. The main cash crops include sugarcanes, peanuts, tobacco leaf and tea leaf. The project is situated approximately 50 kilometers north of a major deepwater port and industrial park on the west coast of the South China Sea, near the city of Fang Cheng. The current population has some experience with small-scale open cut mining for manganese, iron and other mineral deposits. Basic accommodations, food and material supplies are all available locally and accommodations can be built on-site. Power lines are already available at one of the site. Local rivers are able to supply adequate water for large scale mining operations throughout the year.

Small-scale mining for manganese has been carried out for several decades in the Na Wang/Pinyang region by local landowners. Much of that ore is diluted during mining. Inefficiencies in milling cause concentrate to be lost. This material could be recovered using detailed sampling and more efficient milling techniques and equipment. In 1997 the Geological Survey Institute of Laibin City, Liuzhou City examined this manganese resource. Mapping of the district and sampling of the open cut workings was carried out in 2007. Aspire Guangxi, as a private company, manage the concession surrounding the Site #1 mineralized zone described in the Geological Survey Institute report and has since set up a small mining and milling operation adjacent to Site #1. This mill currently processes 100 tons per day of manganese ore with an average head grade (average ore grade prior to processing) of 20% Mn. Fifteen samples of mineralized material plus host rock material above and below the ore zone were taken by the author as part of an initial independent sampling program. One sample of tailings (sands) was taken from below the shaker table circuit at the mill to determine the amount of manganese still present in the tailings.

The bedrock hosting the Na Wang manganese mineralization the lower section of the Dyas system of lower Permian age. This unit is siliceous shale, with various manganese oxide minerals and metallic opaque minerals. Its thickness is from 50 to 250m. At Site #1 the mineralization occurs in three parallel discontinuous lenses as part of original bedding parallel deposition of highly siliceous, very fine grained clastic sediments. Assay results show Mn values similar to those from historical reports. Fourteen select samples ranged up to 52.26% Mn and averaged 33% Mn.

Examination of small-scale mining and processing of manganese deposits in the Na Wang area of Guangxi Province, China, has shown that there are numerous manganese-rich zones within sandstone-siltstone-chert beds deposited in a shallow quiescent platformal marine environment of lower Permian age. Since that time these sedimentary rocks have undergone low-grade regional metamorphism.

This metamorphism and its associated hydrothermal effects, combined with the current sub-tropical climate have produced economic deposits of manganese oxide that can be mined economically. There is a significant opportunity to apply modern exploration and mining methods to a major resource which has had only limited exploitation in the past. At Site #1 there is a resource of 7,400,000 tones with an average grade of 20% Mn.

We have raised some initial private capital to start funding the Phase 1 program which includes the purchase of new processing equipment for both the mill and the mining operations at Site #1. Once all of the phase 1 equipment is in place, it would be used to expand production from the current 100 tones per day to an initial 500 tones per day. This mill can be put in place within 6 months. This would allow the fine-tuning necessary in both the mining and plant circuits to bring the recovery rate to 95% or higher while at the same time significantly increasing revenue from its current level. Cost of the Phase 1 program is US$3,135,000. Once that circuit is complete and using revenue from the improved 500 tone per day plant, a Phase 2 program of an additional three modules of 500 tone per day capacity could be built to bring production up to a 2,000 tone per day main plant. This Phase 1/Phase 2 approach could then be applied to other sites within the concession as well as to mineralized zones in concessions acquired in the district. Cost of the Phase 2 program estimated to be US$9,410,000.

The South China Craton and its associated orogenic belts contain the most important metallogenic provinces in China, including world-class industrial, base and precious metal deposits. Aspire Guangxi, as our subsidiary, has chosen to take advantage of this opportunity by entering into an agreement to acquire a 70% interest in a concession containing a minimum of five manganese mineralized zones. To achieve this, we need to raise $25,000,000 to purchase equipment to contribute to a new joint venture with the mine owner. Alternatively if we are successful in increasing sales from the mine to $90,000,000 within 10 years, we will have enough capital to acquire the 70% interest from the mine owner.Developing and bringing to production a series of resources in this concession will provide the confidence for us to acquire majority mining rights to additional concessions in the area which are known to contain similar manganese mineralization.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Between May 18 and August 18 2008 Aspire Guangxi signed a management contract with Mr. Liao Dong Shang with the ultimate goal being a 70% mining interest, subject to its fulfillment of the terms of the agreements with various contractors, in a mining concession in southeastern Guangxi Province, People’s Republic of China. According to the terms of the agreement, we need to raise an aggregate amount of US$25 million and up to US$100 million for necessary equipment to expand the mining production and the mining modification preparation of the inner layers of the mining site. Fundraising will be based on share exchange, warrant or direct loan from banks. After we are successful in raising a minimum of $25 million or revenues of the mine reach a cumulative total of US$90 million, whichever occurs first, Mr. Liao and Aspire Guangxi will form a new China and Foreign Joint Venture Company (“JV”). The right of the mine owned by Mr. Liao will be transferred to the JV. Mr. Liao will own 30% of the JV and Aspire Guangxi will own 70%. We plan to raise the required US$25 million in the 2009 year.

The Project consists of one concession with an area of 2130 hectares (21.3 km2). That concession contains a minimum of three mineralized zones and two sites of mine tailings, each of which has been assigned to a mining contractor.

The Na Wang Project lies near Na Wang Village in Na Wang Town, about 25 kilometers northwest of Fangcheng City. The administrative area is under the jurisdiction of Pingwang Town, province of Guangxi, southeastern People’s Republic of China. The Project is centered at Latitude 21 degrees 56’ 00’’ North, Longitude 108 degrees 14’ 30’’ East (Figure 1, 2, 3). The concession covers an area of 2130 hectares (21.3 km2). Boundary co-ordinates are found in Table 1 below, outline in both Latitude-Longitude and by metric UTM coordinates referenced to WGS 84 datum.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” which became effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those years, for certain financial assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. In February 2008, FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2 was issued, which delayed by a year the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. We adopted SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities in the first quarter of 2008, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 14 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 as it relates to nonfinancial assets and liabilities on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations.

This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method ) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 . The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that SFAS 141(R) will have on Company’s results of operations or its financial condition.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 “ (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 161.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” which identifies the sources of accounting principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of SFAS No. 162 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. To the extent actual results differ from those estimates, our future results of operations may be affected. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Mega Bond – This subsidiary’s primary business operations involve sourcing electronic components for importing into China. Its policy is to recognize revenue earned on a gross vs net basis in accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent” whereby it evaluates inventory and credit risk and whether there is a transfer of the risks and rewards of ownership. As a result of the fact that the Company takes possession of the goods prior to import, the Company records revenue on a gross basis. At this time, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The impact on Operating Income is the same whether the Company records revenue on a gross or net basis.

Guangxi – The Company currently has no revenue related to the mining operations and does not expect to generate revenue until such time that the Company acquires control of the mine in accordance with the earn-in agreement.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, our actual losses may exceed our estimates, and additional allowances would be required.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

This filing contains forward-looking statements. The words “anticipated,” “believe,” “expect, “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “estimate,” “project,” “could,” “may,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include, among others, information regarding future operations, future capital expenditures, and future net cash flow. Such statements reflect our management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, general economic and business conditions, changes in foreign, political, social, and economic conditions, regulatory initiatives and compliance with governmental regulations, the ability to achieve further market penetration and additional customers, and various other matters, many of which are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, estimated or otherwise indicated. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this filing are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance of the actual results or developments, nor

OVERVIEW

Because we have not generated sufficient revenue to date, we have prepared our financial statements with the assumption that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to affect our Plan of Operations.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

We were incorporated in Maryland on October 14, 1997, to be a venture capital vehicle for investors. As such, we were qualified as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and voluntarily complied with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s public reporting requirements. As a business development company, we were eligible to make investments in qualifying companies and would have earned returns, if any, upon the sale of those investments.

In the summer of 1998, we terminated our status as a business development company, and regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 due to our intention to acquire 100% of the assets or shares of heavy construction equipment companies.

Due to a downturn in the private and public capital markets in late 1998 and early 1999, and in particular in the valuations of heavy construction equipment companies, we abandoned the acquisition plan and after conducting extensive research, our board of directors decided to pursue a business plan that called for the acquisition of companies that provide services via the Internet.

Since 2000, we have explored a variety of potential business opportunities and did not actively conduct significant operations while complying with SEC reporting requirements in order to maintain our status as a public company until a suitable acquisition candidate was found.

Consequently, after devoting years in various attempts to develop a profitable, ongoing business, and without realistic sources of additional financing in sight, our former management was receptive when approached by representatives of Perfisans Networks concerning a possible business combination. Subsequent discussions led to the execution of the Acquisition Agreement in December 2003.

As a consequence of the change in control, resulting from the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement, we have adopted a new plan of operations, as set forth immediately below.

Through our wholly owned subsidiary Perfisans Networks, which is engaged in the development of integrated circuits that will accelerate the network protocol processing. We completed the design of a single port gigabit network interface controller ENA1001 and released the product to the market. We also commenced meeting prospective customers with samples of this product. In addition, we completed the design of a single port gigabit network interface adapter card ENA5031 using our single port gigabit network interface controller ENA1001. This adapter serves two purposes: one is as the demonstration vehicle for the ENA1001 controller. We will also sell this single port gigabit network interface adapter card ENA5031 to the computer system integrators. In reaction to the market, funding and resources situation, we had to restructure to maintain the operation. Since our vendors and customers are in Asia, more focus had been put on the China and Taiwan operations. In July 2005, resources were reallocated from the Canadian operation to China and Taiwan; this move has resulted in lower operating costs. In responds to the re-structuring, we moved to a smaller premises beginning of November, 2006.

We had also revised the product development plan accordingly. Our products are shifted from network and consumer semiconductor integrated circuits focus to system solution focus.

We had an agreement with investors SBI and Westmoreland for a $4 million funding. Six hundred and ninety five thousand dollars has been received by the company from SBI and Westmoreland. SBI and Westmoreland have signed promissory notes on the balance that has not yet been received. The Company believes that the possibility of getting the remaining funds is low. The Company is planning to write off the amount of funds that are not received in the near future.

We executed convertible debenture agreements totaling $1.2 million as of March 21, 2005. Details of the agreement can be obtained through the 8K filing with SEC on March 23, 2005. We will have to secure the anticipated requisite remainder of funding through other means, such as sales of additional securities or other financing initiatives. We started to re-pay each month the principle of these convertible notes from August 17, 2005. The repayments were done by issuing stock as described in the financial statement of this filing.

On March 21, 2007, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of March 12, 2007, by and among Perfisans Holdings and Alfred Morgan Capital Ltd (“AMC”), whereby Perfisans authorized the sale to AMC of a Convertible Term Note (the “Notes”) in the principal amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000). The offering was made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes are convertible into common stock of the Company as set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement filed as Exhibit 99.2. In connection with the offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 750,000 warrants to purchase common stock. The $150,000 principal amount of Notes are part of a contemplated private placement of up to $10,000,000. The proceeds of the offering will be used to fund acquisitions and for working capital. The conversions of the Notes are subject to an effective Registration Statement. The net proceeds of the financing are to be utilized for general working capital. In May, 2007, AMC requested the conversion of the $150,000 principal amount of Notes into restricted shares. The conversion was done on June 19, 2007 with the conversion price at $0.02 per share with 25% discount which amount to 10,000,000 shares.

Due to the market condition and limited funding resources, we stopped developing our network chip and shift the focus to providing system solutions. We have explored business opportunities in marketing and sales of products that are not produced by us. We believe such opportunities can bring in revenue and profit. However the plan of the company is to develop a marketing strategy for its own internally developed chips.

On May 8, 2007 the board passed a resolution and decided to terminate the previous non-binding Letter of intent with Zhejiang Fibersense Communication Technology Company Limited signed April 24, 2006.

We have explored various opportunities to increase revenue and profit of the company. We have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Tiffany Technology Limited (“Tiffany” or “TTL”), a company doing business in Hong Kong to complete a share exchange transaction pursuant to which the Company acquires all of the issued and outstanding common stock of TTL in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock. Tiffany Technology Limited (TTL), a Hong Kong corporation founded in August 2005, is an electronics product channel distribution company focused on sales and marketing of fashionable consumer electronics products, and delivers high quality services to the customers in mainland China and Asia Pacific region. This acquisition is condition upon Tiffany being able to successfully complete an audit in compliance with U.S. GAAP standards. As TTL has not completed the USGAAP audit, we will not merge with this company until they have completed the audit. In the mean time we will continue look for other opportunities to grow the company.

After years devoted to research and development, sales and marketing of our own semiconductor products, we have made multiple attempts to develop a profitable company. Due to the limited funding situation, the Company is still running on a negative cash flow. On November, 2007, we effected a 25-to-1 reverse split of the outstanding stock.

In April 2008, we decided to open an office in Hong Kong for the China trading business. In May, we also set up a China subsidiary in GuangXi for the natural resource business focus in mining and exploration of base metal. In addition, we are planning to close the Taiwan office.

In July 2008, Million Financial Corporation has invested US$117,000 into the company by subscribing restricted shares. Million Finance is owned by Hoi Ming Chan and Florence Tsun. Hoi Ming Chan is the president of Aspire GuangXi Inc.

In July 2008, Million Financial Corporation has invested US$217,392 into the company by subscribing restricted shares. Million Financial Corporation is owned by Hoi Ming Chan and Florence Tsun. Hoi Ming Chan is the president of Aspire GuangXi Inc.

In September 2008, Million Financial Corporation has invested another US$100,000 into the company by subscribing restricted shares.

In November 2008, Million Financial Corporation has put in US$130,645 into the company as a loan which bears no interest.

In November 2008, Cam Tam Phung has invested $10,000 into the company by subscribing for restricted shares.

In November 2008, Lio Dong Shang has invested $17,635 into the company by subscribing for restricted shares.

As the company continues to focus in the resource and mining business, we plan to spin-off the technology part of the company to a separate entity either public or private.

FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2007

We have reported total revenue of $170,954 (prior year $15,590) with a gross profit of $12,525 (prior year gross profit $15,590) for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in revenue is due to company’s change in the sources of revenue. In 2007 the revenue was primarily received from the sale of electronics, whereas in 2008 the company began to focus on their import of goods through the Mega Bond subsidiary. All of the cost of goods sold in 2008 related to the purchased goods in the Mega Bond division, which has not yet commenced in 2007.

Total operating expenses decreased for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2008, from $2,911,557 to $1,877,927 or 35.50% from the corresponding prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in interest and management bonus during the period.

General and Administration fees decreased for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2008, from $1,501,673 to $958,844 or 36.15% from the corresponding prior year period, primarily as a result of the decrease in operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $22,000,502. For the year ended December 31, 2008, net cash used in operating activities amounted to $92,780, as compared to $199,647 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

In March 2004, we borrowed $250,000 from an unaffiliated lender. The loan bears interest at 2% per month and is payable on July 3, 2004 or upon our receipt of at least $4,000,000 of proceeds from the sale of stock. In October 30, 2004 we increased the borrowed amount from the same lender to $392,208 which bears an interest at 3% per month. The total amount of the loan with principal and interest was $1,429,232 as at December 31, 2008.

We are now in the process of extending the loan period. We intend to repay such loans out of proceeds from future additional funding raised by sale of stock.

We currently have a balance of $335,209.11 owed to General Resources Company on such loans. We intend to repay such loans out of proceeds from future additional funding which may be raised by sale of stock.

There was a director loan of $90,000 which bears an interest at 2% per month that we received during the year of 2005. The interest paid was $5,400 per quarter.

We have a promissory note in the amount of $1,429,232 ($1,291,265 in 2007) that bears interest at 3% per month, with principal and interest payable at December 31, 2005. Management is in default of the payment on maturity and is currently in discussions with the lender to revise the terms. The new terms have not been finalized or agreed to by either side and the lender has not demanded repayment.

At December 31, 2008, we had no material commitments for capital expenditures other than for those expenditures incurred in the ordinary course of business and for the mining project. Additional capital could be required in excess of our liquidity, requiring us to raise additional capital through an equity offering or secured or unsecured debt financing. The availability of additional capital resources will depend on prevailing market conditions, interest rates, and our existing financial position and results of operations.

We estimate that we will require approximately $10,000,000 in cash to fund our activities until revenues are sufficient to cover costs, which we will obtain principally through the sale of shares. We have no commitment from any person to acquire all or any of such securities or to provide funding through any other mechanism other than as disclosed in the prospectus related to the sale of the shares of our common stock to SBI and Westmoreland. We expect that additional capital will be required if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues from commercialization of our products within the next 18 months.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Aspire International, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Aspire International, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008. Aspire International, Inc.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Aspire International, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and the results of its consolidated operations and comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s significant cumulative operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

F-8


1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

	The consolidated financial statement as of December 31, 2008 includes the accounts of Aspire International, Inc. (Formerly Perfisans Holdings, Inc.) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Perfisans Networks Corporation and Mega Bond Group (Hong Kong) Limited (“Mega Bond”). Perfisans Networks Corporation includes the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Perfisans Networks (Taiwan) Corporation and Aspire (Guangxi) Inc. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company has funded its operations to date mainly through the issuance of shares. Effective October 25, 2007, the Company changed its name to Aspire International, Inc.

	Aspire International, Inc. (“Aspire” or the “Company”) is currently engaged in two business segments.

	On August 18, 2008, through its subsidiary, a wholly owned foreign enterprise (“WOFE”) operation Aspire GuangXi Inc. (“Aspire GuangXi”) in GuangXi, China, the Company signed a management contract with Mr. Dong Shang Liao (Party A) to acquire a 70% mining interest, subject to the Company’s fulfillment of the terms of the agreements, in a mining concession in southeastern Guangxi Province, People’s Republic of China. According to the terms of the agreement, the Company will raise an aggregate amount of $25 million and up to US$100 million for the equipmentto expand the mining production and the mining modification preparation of the inner layers of the mining site. Fundraising will be based on share exchange, warrant or direct loan from banks. After the Company is successful in raising a minimum of $25 million or revenues of the mine reach a cumulative total of US$90 million, whichever occurs first, Party A and Aspire Guangxi will form a new China and Foreign Joint Venture Company (“JV”). The right of the mine owned by Party A will be transferred to the JV. Party A will own 30% of the JV and Aspire Guangxi will own 70%. The Company plans to raise the required US$25 million in the 2009 year.

	Aspire Guangxi has been granted the rights to explore and exploit the Na Wang area concession through this management contract with Mr. Liao. This project consists of one concession with an area of 2130 hectares (21.3 km2). The concession contains a minimum of three mineralized zones and two sites of mine tailings. This project lies near Na Wang Village in Na Wang Town, about 25 kilometers northwest of Fangcheng City. The administrative area is under the jurisdiction of Pingwang Town, province of Guangxi, southeastern People’s Republic of China. The Project is centered at Latitude 21 degrees 56’ 00’’ North, Longitude 108 degrees 14’ 30’’ East.

	Aspire Guangxi’s long term initiative is to acquire, develop and operate high grade open pit mines throughout China. Primary targets will be base metal projects that are amenable to accelerated development and early production.

2.	GOING CONCERN

	Certain principal conditions and events are prevalent which indicate that there could be substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. These include:

		1)	Recurring operating losses

		2)	Stockholders deficiency

		3)	Working Capital deficiency

		4)	Non renewal of intellectual property licenses

		5)	Adverse key financial ratios

	The continuation of the company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional financing and ultimately attain and maintain profitable operations from commercialization of its intellectual property. These consolidated financial statements include certain estimated adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities resulting from the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern

F-10

3.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

	a)	Use of Estimates

		Preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes to financial statements. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results may ultimately differ from such estimates. Significant estimates include accruals, valuation allowance, fair value of stock for services and estimates for calculation for stock based compensation.

	b)	Cash and Cash Equivalents

		Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due to banks, and any other highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less. The carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.

	c)	Fair value of Financial Instruments

		The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair values. Accordingly, the estimates may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007 the carrying values of financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

	d)	Revenue Recognition

		Mega Bond – This subsidiary’s primary business operations involve sourcing electronic components for importing into China. Mega Bonds policy is to recognize revenue earned on a gross vs net basis in accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent” whereby it evaluates inventory and credit risk and whether there is a transfer of the risks and rewards of ownership. As a result of the fact that the Company takes possession of the goods prior to import, the Company records revenue on a gross basis. At that time , persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The impact on Operating Income is the same whether the Company records revenue on a gross or net basis.

		Guangxi – The Company currently has no revenue related to the mining operations and does not expect to generate revenue until such time that the Company acquires control of the mine in accordance with the earn-in agreement.

	f)	Long-term Financial Instruments

		The fair value of each of the Company’s long-term financial assets and debt instruments is based on the amount of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using an estimate of what the Company’s current borrowing rate for similar instruments of comparable maturity would be.

	g)	Property, Plant and Equipment

		Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided using the following annual rates and methods:


Furniture and fixtures	20	%	declining balance method
Office equipment	20	%	declining balance method
Computer equipment	30	%	declining balance method
Plant and equipment	30	%	declining balance method
Vehicles	30	%	declining balance method
Leasehold Improvement			Over the period of the lease

F-11

3.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

	h)	Intellectual Property

		Intellectual property is recorded at cost less impairment write down. Intellectual property is not amortized as it has an indefinite life. Impairment tests are performed at least once a year and when conditions indicating possible impairment exist. Intellectual property is written down if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value or if significant doubt exists with respect to recoverability.

	i)	Foreign Currency Translation

		The Company’s subsidiaries, Perfisans Networks Corporation and Mega Bond Group (Hong Kong) Limited are foreign private companies and maintain their books and records in Canadian and Hong Kong dollars (the functional currency). The financial statements are converted to US dollars for consolidation purposes. The translation method used is the current rate method which is the method mandated by FASB Statement No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” (SFAS 52) where the functional currency is the foreign currency. Under the current rate method all assets and liabilities are translated at the current rate, stockholder’s equity accounts are translated at historical rates and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year.

		Due to the fact that items in the financial statements are being translated at different rates according to their nature, a translation adjustment is created. This translation adjustment has been included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

	j)	Income Taxes

		The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

	k)	Research and Development

		Research and development costs, other than capital expenditures but including acquired research and development costs, are charged against income in the period incurred.

	l)	Comprehensive Income

		The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130 Reporting Comprehensive Income. This standard requires companies to disclose comprehensive income in their financial statements. In addition to items included in net income, comprehensive income includes items currently charged or credited directly to stockholders’ equity, such as foreign currency translation adjustments.

F-12

3.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

	m)	Long-Lived Assets

		In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of asset less cost to sell.

	n)	Stock Based Compensation

		The Company had adopted the provisions of SFAS 123 (R) on January 1, 2006. All awards granted to employees and non-employees after December 31, 2005 are valued at fair value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 (R) by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) in Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services”. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by EITF No. 96-18.

	o)	Earnings or Loss Per Share

		The Company has adopted FAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”, which requires disclosure on the financial statements of “basic” and “diluted” loss per share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to stock options and warrants for each year. There were no common equivalent shares outstanding at December 31, 2008 and 2007 that have been included in dilutive loss per share calculation as the effects would have been anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2008, there were 134,204 options and 30,000 warrants exercisable. At December 31, 2007, there were 98,204 options and 255,333 warrants exercisable.

	p)	Asset Retirement Obligation

		The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“Statement 143”), which requires that the fair value of an asset retirement obligation be recorded as a liability in the period in which a company incurs the obligation.

	q)	Concentration of Credit Risk

		SFAS No. 105, “Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentration of Credit Risk”, requires disclosure of any significant off-balance sheet risk and credit risk concentration. The Company does not have significant off-balance sheet risk or credit concentration.

F-13

3.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)

	r)	Recent Pronouncements

		In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” which identifies the sources of accounting principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of SFAS No. 162 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

		In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161),” to enhance the current disclosure framework in SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended.” SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosures required by SFAS No. 133 so that they provide an enhanced understanding of (1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (3) how derivative instruments affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for both interim and annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

		In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of No. ARB 51,” which is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 160 amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling ownership interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

		In December 2007, the FASB revised SFAS No. 141 “Business Combinations.” The revised standard is effective for transactions where the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.SFAS No. 141(R) will change the accounting for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) does not currently have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements. However, any future business acquisitions occurring on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 will be accounted for in accordance with this statement.

		In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” which became effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those years, for certain financial assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the related disclosure requirements. In February 2008, FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2 was issued, which delayed by a year the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. We adopted SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities in the first quarter of 2008, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 14 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 as it relates to nonfinancial assets and liabilities on our consolidated financial statements.

6.	INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

	Intellectual property represents licenses to use, modify and prepare derivative works of licensors’ source material. Licenses may be subject to annual and usage fees. The terms of the licenses continue indefinitely unless breached by the terms of the agreements. As at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had three licensing agreements, which it entered into between April 2002 and July 2002. These licenses are non-transferable, non-sub licensable and royalty free. The Company must pay annual support and maintenance fees to the licensors to maintain the terms of the agreements. These licenses give the Company the right to incorporate licensor software into the Company’s internally-developed software and the products it is developing.

	Annual support and maintenance fees are expensed as they become due. For 2008 and 2007, the Company is in breach of payment of its annual support and maintenance fees, and in default of such fee payment, the licensors may not maintain the terms of the agreements.

	The Company evaluates the recoverability of the intellectual property and reviews the impairment on an annual basis and at any other time if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount utilizing the guidance of SFAS 142, “Goodwill and other Intangible Assets”. Several factors are used to evaluate the intellectual property, including but not limited to, management’s plans for future operations, recent operating results and projected undiscounted cash flows. The Intellectual property was written-down to a nominal value of $1 in 2002.

7.	DEFERRED CHARGES

To facilitate access to the mine, the Company incurred a cost of $77,358 during the year ended December 31, 2008 which represented payments made to the property owners in the outskirts of the mining property to facilitate access to the mining property. This cost is being amortized over the period of the agreement.

The shareholders loan of $90,000 is unsecured, bears interest at 2% per month with no specific terms of repayment. The Company calculated the fair value of interest on the interest free loans from shareholders at the rate of 5% (2007 – 7%) per annum and recorded it as a component of additional paid in capital. The Company has accrued interest of $21,600 (2007 - $21,600) as interest on loan to one director for the year.

	The Company has adopted a Stock Option Plan (the Plan), pursuant to which Common Shares not exceeding 25% of the total issued and outstanding shares are reserved for issuance. Options may be granted to officers, directors, consultants and full-time employees of the Company. Options granted under the Plan may be exercisable for a period not exceeding ten years, may require vesting, and shall be at an exercise price, all as determined by the Board.

If a participant ceases affiliation with the Company by reason of death or permanent disability, the option remains exercisable for 180 days following death or 30 days following permanent disability but not beyond the options expiration date. Other termination gives the participant 30 days to exercise, except for termination for cause, which results in immediate termination of the option. Options granted under the Plan must be exercised with cash. Any unexercised options that expire or that terminate upon an employee ceasing to be employed by the Company become available again for issuance under the Plan. The Plan may be terminated or amended at any time by the Board of Directors.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

On March 30, 2004, we filed an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on January 5, 2004 regarding our acquisition of Perfisans Networks Corporation in which we also disclosed that we dismissed Dohan & Company (“Dohan”), our former independent auditor, in connection with the acquisition.

The Form 8-K/A also reported that we retained Schwarzt Levitsky Feldman in lieu of Dohan as a result of the determination we made that it would be in our best interest to maintain our relationship with the independent auditor for the Company.

There were no changes or disagreements with Dohan reportable pursuant to this Item 8 of our annual report of Form 10-K, though Dohan’s report on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, did include an opinion expressing its substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The 8-K/A reporting the dismissal of Dohan is incorporated herein by reference.

On April 1, 2009, the Board of Directors received the resignation of Schwartz Levitsky Feldman, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. On April 9, 2009 we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K in which we disclosed the resignation.

None of SLF’s reports on the Company’s financial statements from December 31, 2003 until April 1, 2009, (a) contained an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or (b) was modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, or (c) contained any disagreements on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of SLF, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports. None of the reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K occurred during the period in which SLF served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

However, the report of SLF, dated April 10, 2008, on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 contained an explanatory paragraph which noted that there was substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern as we had suffered recurring operating losses, stockholders’ deficiency, working capital deficiency, non renewal of intellectual property licenses, adverse key ratios and delay in conversion of convertible debt.

On April 7, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the engagement of DNTW Chartered Accountants, LLP (“DNTW”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

ITEM 9A(T) CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and principal accounting officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of o possible controls and procedures.

Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal accounting officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2008 at the reasonable assurance level for the reasons discussed below related to identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

To address the material weakness, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statement included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present all material respects of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

We recognize the importance of internal controls and management is making an effort to mitigate this material weakness to the fullest extent possible. At any time, if it appears that any control can be implemented to continue to mitigate such weakness, it will be immediately implemented.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management is required to assess the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal year and report, based on that assessment, whether the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

The management of Aspire International, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. 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.” These criteria are in the areas of control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring. The Company’s assessment included extensive documenting, evaluating and testing the design and operating effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be presented or detected on a timely basis.

Based on management’s assessment, we have concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the material weaknesses identified below:

Inherent in small business is the pervasive problem of segregation of duties. Given that the Company only employs two executive officers, one of which is a director, segregation of duties is not possible at this stage in the corporate lifecycle. We are planning to mitigate this risk by hiring an adequate amount of staff in the future in order to segregate incompatible duties. We do not presently possess the necessary funds to hire such staff. Until this time that we have adequate funds to hire additional staff, the board will be actively involved in reviewing all significant transactions which are subject to this weakness. This weakness was identified by our auditors during the audit of the December 31, 2008 fiscal year. This weakness has existed since inception of the Company.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation requirements by the Company’s independent registered public account 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 Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

All of our executive officers are required to affirm in writing that they have reviewed and understand the Code of Ethics.

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

We do not have an audit committee financial expert.

COMPENSATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Directors who are also our employees do not receive additional compensation for serving on the Board or its committees. Non-employee directors are not paid any annual cash fee. Directors are entitled to receive options under our Stock Option Plan. All directors are reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in attending Board meetings. We intend to procure directors and officers liability insurance.

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Under Maryland state law, a director or officer is generally not individually liable to the corporation or its shareholders for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer, unless it is proven that:

1. his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer; and

2. his breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.

This provision is intended to afford directors and officers protection against and to limit their potential liability for monetary damages resulting from suits alleging a breach of the duty of care by a director or officer. As a consequence of this provision, our stockholders will be unable to recover monetary damages against directors or officers for action taken by them that may constitute negligence or gross negligence in performance of their duties unless such conduct falls within one of the foregoing exceptions. The provision, however, does not alter the applicable standards governing a director’s or officer’s fiduciary duty and does not eliminate or limit our right or the right of any stockholder to obtain an injunction or any other type of non-monetary relief in the event of a breach of fiduciary duty.

As permitted by Maryland law, our By-Laws include a provision which provides for indemnification of a director or officer by us against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of claims against the director or officer arising from the fact that he was an officer or director, provided that the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests.

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

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

Under the securities laws of the United States, our directors, our executive (and certain other) officers, and any persons holding ten percent or more of our shares of common stock must report on their ownership of our shares of common stock and any changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Specific due dates for these reports have been established. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, based solely on a review of filings made with the SEC, we believe that all reports required to be filed by Section 16(a) were filed on a timely basis.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified one material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness consisted of inadequate staffing within the accounting operations of our company. The small number of employees who are responsible for accounting functions (more specifically, one) prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following table sets forth, for the fiscal years indicated, certain information concerning the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and each other most highly compensated executive officers of our company whose aggregate compensation exceeded $100,000 during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005.

STOCK OPTIONS

On February 12, 2004, the Board of Directors adopted the Perfisans Holdings, Inc. 2004 Stock Option Plan. The Option Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options to selected employees, the grant of non-qualified options to selected consultants and to directors and advisory board members. The Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and authorizes the grant of options for 4,000,000 shares. The Board of Directors determines the individual employees and consultants who participate under the Plan, the terms and conditions of options, the option price, the vesting schedule of options and other terms and conditions of the options granted pursuant thereto.

There was no option granted in the fiscal year of 2008.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

Each of Bok Wong, President and Chief Executive Officer and To-Hon Lam, has entered into employment agreements with us. Such agreements became effective upon the effectiveness of the registration statement the first draft of which was filed on February 12, 2004.

Mr. Wong’s employment agreement has an initial term of two years with subsequent one-year renewal periods. His employment agreement may be terminated by us for cause or upon his death or disability. In the event of Mr. Wong’s disability, termination of his employment agreement by us following a change in control or termination of his employment agreement by him for good reason, Mr. Wong is entitled to receive (i) the unpaid amount of his base salary earned through the date of termination; (ii) any bonus compensation earned but not yet paid; and(iii) a severance payment equal to one (1) year of his then current salary. In addition, Mr. Wong will be immediately vested in any options, warrants, retirement plan or agreements then in effect. Good reason means (i) a material change of Mr. Wong’s duties, (ii) a material breach by us under the employment agreement, or (iii) a termination of Mr. Wong’s employment in connection with a change in control.

As used in Mr. Wong’s employment agreement, “change in control” means (1) our merger or consolidation with another entity where the members of our Board, do not, immediately after the merger or consolidation, constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the entity issuing cash or securities in the merger or consolidation immediately prior to the merger or consolidation, or (2) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets.

In the event of termination for cause, all of Mr. Wong’s unexercised warrants and options, whether or not vested, will be canceled, and Mr. Wong will not be eligible for severance payments. In the event of voluntary termination, all of Mr. Wong’s unbelted warrants and options will be canceled and he will have three(3) months from the date of termination to exercise his rights with respect to the unexercised but vested options. He will not be eligible for severance payments.

Mr. Wong’s employment agreement provides for an annual salary of $200,000 per year. Mr. Lam has an identical employment agreement to that of Mr. Wong.

In the event of termination for cause, all unexercised warrants and options held by the applicable employee, whether or not vested, will be canceled and the employee will not be eligible for severance payments. In the event of voluntary termination, all unbelted warrants and options will be canceled and the employee will have three (3) months from the date of termination to exercise his rights with respect to the unexercised but vested options.
