PART I



Item 1.  BUSINESS


Background


Credit One Credit Financial, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Florida on September 24, 1999.  Prior to July 2007, the Company was engaged in market research regarding the cost and availability of non-performing credit card debt portfolio and in contemplating the acquisition of non-performing accounts receivable.  In spite of it, no meaningful operations were carried out.  


In July 2007, the Company’s four principal shareholders sold an aggregate of 6,962,438 shares, which represented 89.48% of the Company’s capital shares, to ten persons for a total of $625,000 in cash.  Following the change of control, the Company made an effort to provide funding, primarily in the form of advance, to small- and medium-sized companies with good and feasible business plans, but lacking capital to implement their business plans.  In January 2008, the Company ceased the project financing business, and entered into a joint venture agreement with Global Select Ltd in Hong Kong, pursuant to which Moderation Limited, a joint venture company (the “JVC”), was set up in Hong Kong, whereby the Company contributed $16 million Hong Kong dollars, approximately $2.06 million, in exchange for 51.6% of the equity interest in the JVC, and Global Select and its partner together contributed $15 million Hong Kong dollars, approximately $1.94 million, for 48.4% of the equity interest in the JVC.  


In January 2009, the JVC, i.e. Moderation Limited, established Liaoning Sinorth Resources Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary, in Liaoning Province, China (“Liaoning Sinorth”).  The main business of Liaoning Sinorth is the production, processing and sale of mineral products, primarily graphite, in China.


The Company has not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.


Business and Recent Developments


Until November 30, 2010, the Company’s main business was processing and distribution of mineral products, primarily graphite products, in China.  


For the period from January 1, 2010 to November 30, 2010, the Company generated net sales of $2,998,507.  The Company’s graphite business had been dependent on a relatively small number of industries and customers.  Because of the increased competitive pressure, the Company needed to, in certain cases, lower sales prices in order to maintain its customer base. Despite the efforts it had made, the Company lost some sales and the sales did not grow as much as the Company had expected.  The Company found it more and more difficult to carry out its graphite business as planed.  Accordingly, the Company turned its attention to other new revenue growth sources.


On November 18, 2010, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with China Minerals International Limited (“China Minerals”).  Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, the Company agreed to sell and China Minerals agreed to acquire the Company’s 51.6% equity interest in Moderation Limited for $16 million Hong Kong dollars, approximately $2.06 million in cash. The transaction was closed on November 30, 2010.


Following the closing of the transaction, the Company owns no equity interest in Moderation, thereby ceasing to be a processor and distributor of graphite products.


On August 26, 2010, E&M International Limited (“E&M”), the newly established, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an advertising agreement with Macau Lotus Satellite TV Media Limited (“Lotus TV”), pursuant to which Lotus TV authorizes E&M as its exclusive agent to operate all of its advertising businesses (“Advertising Rights”).


The term of this agreement is ten years from September 1, 2010 to August 31, 2020. In consideration for Lotus TV’s grant of the Advertising Rights, E&M agrees to pay Lotus TV a fixed fee on an annual basis (the “Annual Fee”) regardless of the total amount of revenues generated from the advertising business to be received by E&M. Under the agreement, E&M will



4



pay Lotus TV an initial Annual Fee of HK$1,000,000 (approximately US$128,900) for the first year of the agreement, which Annual Fee will increase at 10% every year for the following two years.


E&M also agrees to extend to Lotus TV, interest free, a credit facility consisting of a series of loans (each a “Loan”) totaling a minimum of US$10 million over a period of ten years. The terms of each Loan and the increase of the Annual Fee after the first three years of the agreement will be negotiated by the parties depending on Lotus TV’s financial needs and the amount of advertising revenues generated. The Company currently expects that the Loans will be originated from its cash reserve, advertising revenue and, if necessary, raised from the capital market.


E&M was incorporated in the Cayman Islands by the Company in August 2010 to engage in, inter alia, entertainment and media business. On September 16, 2010, the name of E&M was changed to CEM International Ltd.


Products


For the year until November 30, 2010, the products processed and distributed by the Company consisted primarily of medium- and high-carbon graphite, high-purity graphite, micro-power graphite and expandable graphite, such as:


O

150 mesh products, e.g. +15094

O

Mixed size products, e.g. V94

O

100 mesh products, e.g. -194, -196, -190, etc.

O

100 mesh products, e.g. +194, +190, etc.


The biggest market of our graphite products was in the industries of refractory, foundry, lubricant, pencils, batteries, carbon brush, and advanced graphite processing fields.


Raw Materials


We purchased unprocessed raw materials, primarily mixed size graphite and semi-processed graphite, from a variety of sources, including mining companies, brokers and other intermediaries in China.  For the period from January 1, 2010 to November 31, 2010, we procured raw materials from 18 raw material suppliers, of which four (4) accounted for 10% or more of our total purchases.  We typically purchase raw materials pursuant to individual purchase orders, and do not generally enter into long-term contracts for the purchase of raw materials.

 

Processing


We were seeking to expand our business operations within China by entering into value-added graphite processing and repackaging operations.  We constructed a processing and repackaging facility, which is located in the City of Yingkou, Liaoning Province, China. The processing and repackage consisted primarily of the following three processes:


 (1)    Screen separation of mixed size products into contract specified mesh sizes;

 (2)    or, Mixing to meet specified carbon content requirements; or

 (3)    Repackaging according to contract specifications for sale.

 

Sales and Marketing


We marketed our graphite products on a wholesale basis, primarily to graphite distributors and resellers, who accounted for approximately 70% of our total sales.  To a lesser extent, we also distributed products to small and medium-sized manufacturing end-users, approximately 30%.  We used our own sales force to market directly to our customers, who purchased our products through negotiated spot sales contracts which established the quantity and price for each transaction.  The prices we charged depended upon costs, market demand, as well as quality and grade of the graphite products.   


For the period from January 1, 2010 to November 30, 2010, we had two significant customers who accounted for more than 10% of our total sales, respectively.  In 2010, the percentages of our sales to our customers in China and abroad (Germany, Russia, United States, and Japan) were approximately 36% and 64%, respectively.




5



Government Regulation


As a U.S. based company doing business in China, we seek to comply with all Chinese laws, rules and regulations and pronouncements, and endeavor to obtain all necessary approvals from applicable Chinese regulatory agencies.  We believe we are in compliance in all material respects with existing applicable statutes and government regulations affecting our business and operations.


Research and Development


For the year ended December 31, 2010, we did not conduct any research or development activities.  We do not anticipate conducting such activities in the near future.


Seasonality

 

In general, there is no seasonal nature in our business.


Patents, trademarks, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts


We do not own any patents, trademarks, copyrights, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements, or labor contracts.


Employees


As of December 31, 2010, we had two employees. As our business activities increase in size, we may need to hire more employees.  None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.  We believe our relationships with employees to be satisfactory.


 

Item 1A.   RISK FACTORS


An investment in us involves a high degree of risk.  Investors should carefully consider the risks below before making an investment decision. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks.  In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment.  As of the date of this report, our management is aware of the following material risks.


Risks Related to the Company’s Business

We have significant historical losses and may continue to incur losses in the future.

We have incurred annual operating losses since our inception. As a result, at December 31, 2010 we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $375,552.  Our revenues from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $5,932 and $-0-, respectively.  Our revenues have not been sufficient to sustain our operations.  In order to achieve profitability our revenue streams will have to increase and there is no assurance that revenues can increase to such a level.  We may never be profitable.

We do not yet have a significant operating history which would provide you with meaningful information about our past or future operations.


We just began operations recently and to date have not generated any profits.  As a young company, we are subject to all of the risks associated with a new business enterprise. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development.  We do not yet have a significant operating history which would provide you with meaningful information about our past or future operations. 


We will require additional financing in the future, but such financing may not be available to us.




6



We will require additional capital to continue our operations.  To date, our revenues from operations have not generated cash flow sufficient to finance our operations and growth. As a result, we have periodically since our inception sought financing and we will likely continue to require additional financing in the future.


Under the advertising agreement between CEM, our subsidiary and Macau Lotus Satellite TV Media Limited (“Lotus TV”) dated August 26, 2010, CEM agreed to extend to Lotus TV, interest free, a credit facility consisting of a series of loans totaling a minimum of US$10 million over a period of 10 years.  We currently expect that the loans will be originated from our cash reserve, advertising revenue and, if necessary, raised from the capital market.


If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund the operation of our business. As a result, we would likely be forced to dramatically alter or cease operations.


If we raise additional capital, such capital raisings could dilute current shareholders’ ownership interests.


If additional funds are raised by the issuance of our equity securities, such as through the issuance of stock or convertible securities, then the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of debt or other equity instruments, we may become subject to certain operational limitations (e.g., negative operating covenants), and such securities may have rights senior to those of the existing holders of common stock.


Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, which make our future results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below expectations.


Our operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control.  As a result, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and, therefore, prior results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods.


Loss of key management personnel or our inability to attract and retain new qualified personnel could hurt our ability to operate and grow successfully.


Our success is dependent to a significant extent on our executive officers and key personnel.  We do not have key man life insurance covering any of our executive officers.  We may not be able to retain our executive officers and key personnel or attract additional qualified personnel.  The loss of any of our executive officers or other key personnel, or our inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel, could hurt our ability to operate and make it difficult to execute our acquisition and internal growth strategies.


Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong



Our business operations may be adversely affected by the changing political and economic policies in Hong Kong.


Considerable portions of our assets are located in Hong Kong and a considerable portion of our revenues are expected to derive from our operations in Hong Kong.  The Hong Kong government exerts substantial influence and control over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.  Our ability to operate in Hong Kong may be adversely affected by changes in Hong Kong laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, raw materials, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters.  As a result, changes in the political and economic policies of the Hong Kong government could have a significant impact on the results of our operations and financial condition.


Our assets, officers and directors are located outside of the U.S.  It is difficult to effect service of process and enforcement of legal judgments upon us and our officers and directors.


Our assets, officers and directors are located outside of the United States.  As a result, it may be difficult to effect service of process within the United States and enforce judgment of the US courts obtained against us and our executive officers and directors.  Particularly, our shareholders may not be able to:


·

Effect service of process within the United States on us or any of our executive officers and directors;



7




·

Enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts against us based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws;


·

Enforce, in a court in Hong Kong, judgments of U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws; and


·

Bring an original action in a court in Hong Kong to enforce liabilities against us or any of our executive officers and directors based upon the U.S. federal securities laws.


Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the United States dollar may bring down our operating income.


The functional currency of our operations in Hong Kong is the Hong Kong dollar.  Results of our operations are translated at average exchange rates into United States dollars for purposes of reporting results.  During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and through this date, there has been little fluctuation in exchange rates between Hong Kong dollars and US dollars. However, future fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect our expenses and results of operations as well as the value of our assets and liabilities.  Any significant fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the United States dollar may bring down our operating income and lower our stock price.  We have no current plans to undertake any hedging activity to minimize exchange rate fluctuations.


Risks Related to the Company’s Securities


Management exercises significant control over matters requiring shareholder approval which may result in the delay or prevention of a change in our control.


Dicky Cheung, our President and CEO, currently beneficially owns 693,455 shares, or approximately 32.2%, of our outstanding common stock.  Accordingly, he could significantly influence us on matters submitted to the stockholders for approval.  These matters include the election of directors, mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control that might otherwise be beneficial to our other stockholders.  His interests may differ from the interests of our other shareholders.


Our stock price has been extremely volatile and may continue to fluctuate significantly, which may make it more difficult for you to resell shares when you want at prices you find attractive.


Our common stock is very thinly traded, and the price, if traded, has been and may continue to be subject to significant daily fluctuations.  Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment at all, or if they are able to liquidate it may only be at a price that does not reflect the value of the business.  Even if a more active market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Consequently, there can be no assurances as to whether:


·

any market for our common stock will develop;


·

the prices at which our common stock will trade; or


·

the extent to which investor interest in us will lead to the development of an active, liquid trading market.


Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders for investors.

 

In addition, our common stock is unlikely to be followed by any market analysts, and there may be few institutions acting as market makers for our common stock.  Either of these factors could adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of our common stock.  Until our common stock is fully distributed and an orderly market develops in our common stock, if ever, the price at which it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly.  There are no assurances that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common stock.




8



Our common stock is subject to the penny stock restrictions which will create a lack of liquidity and make trading difficult or impossible.


Our common stock is currently subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the SEC Rule 15g-9, a stock is considered a “penny stock” if it meets one or more of the following conditions:  (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (iii) it is not quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or even if so, has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company that has been in business less than three years with net tangible assets less than $5 million. The penny stock rules require brokers to provide extensive disclosure explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with investing in penny stocks to their customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our shareholders to sell their securities.


We may never pay any dividends to shareholders.


We have paid no cash dividends on our common stock to date and it is not anticipated that any cash dividends will be paid to holders of our common stock in the near future.  While our dividend policy will be based on our operating results and capital needs of the business, it is anticipated that any earnings will be retained to finance our future expansion.  As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividend can further affect the market value of our stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in the Company.



Item 1B.   UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

Item 2.  PROPERTIES

 


Our principal executive offices are located at 80 Wall Street, Suite 818, New York, NY 10005. We pay rent of $650 per month for this space on a month-by-month sublease basis.


We believe that our property is suitable and adequate for our present and proposed needs.  If additional spaces are required, we believe that we will be able to obtain such space on commercially reasonable terms.



Item 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS



We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings and, to our knowledge, none of our officers, directors or principal shareholders are party to any legal proceeding in which they have an interest adverse  to us.

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



The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.  In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this Form 10-K contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by this forward-looking information due to the factors discussed under "Risk factors," and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.


Overview


Until November 30, 2010, the Company’s main business was processing and distribution of mineral products, primarily graphite products, in China.  


The Company’s graphite business had been dependent on a relatively small number of industries and customers.  Because of the increased competitive pressure, the Company needed to, in certain cases, lower sales prices in order to maintain its customer base. Despite the efforts it had made, the Company lost some sales and the sales did not grow as much as the Company had expected.  The Company found it more and more difficult to carry out its graphite business as planed.  Accordingly, the Company turned its attention to other new revenue growth sources.


On November 18, 2010, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with China Minerals International Limited (“China Minerals”).  Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, the Company agreed to sell and China Minerals agreed to acquire the Company’s 51.6% equity interest in Moderation Limited for $16 million Hong Kong dollars, approximately $2.06 million in cash. The transaction was closed on November 30, 2010.


Following the closing of the transaction, the Company owns no equity interest in Moderation, thereby ceasing to be a processor and distributor of graphite products.


On August 26, 2010, E&M International Limited (“E&M”), the newly established, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an advertising agreement with Macau Lotus Satellite TV Media Limited (“Lotus TV”), pursuant to which Lotus TV authorizes E&M as its exclusive agent to operate all of its advertising businesses (“Advertising Rights”).


The term of this agreement is ten years from September 1, 2010 to August 31, 2020. In consideration for Lotus TV’s grant of the Advertising Rights, E&M agrees to pay Lotus TV a fixed fee on an annual basis (the “Annual Fee”) regardless of the total amount of revenues generated from the advertising business to be received by E&M. Under the agreement, E&M will pay Lotus TV an initial Annual Fee of HK$1,000,000 (approximately US$128,900) for the first year of the agreement, which Annual Fee will increase at 10% every year for the following two years.


E&M also agrees to extend to Lotus TV, interest free, a credit facility consisting of a series of loans (each a “Loan”) totaling a minimum of US$10 million over a period of ten years. The terms of each Loan and the increase of the Annual Fee after the first three years of the agreement will be negotiated by the parties depending on Lotus TV’s financial needs and the amount of advertising revenues generated. The Company currently expects that the Loans will be originated from its cash reserve, advertising revenue and, if necessary, raised from the capital market.


E&M was incorporated in the Cayman Islands by the Company in August 2010 to engage in, inter alia, entertainment and media business. On September 16, 2010, the name of E&M was changed to CEM International Ltd.

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, held on October 29, 2010, the stockholders voted on and approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect an one-for-fifty reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock, $0.001 par value per share.  The amendment became effective as of December 27, 2010.  All share transactions disclosed in these financial statements give retroactive effect to this 1:50 reverse split.


Results of Operations


For the Year ended December 31, 2010 Compared to 2009

Revenue


For the year ended December 31, 2010, the revenue from the Company’s continuing operations was $5,932. On November 30, 2010 the Company sold its 51.6% equity interest in Moderation Limited, which in turn, owned 100% of Liaoning Sinorth Resources Co., Ltd.  The Company recognized a gain of $408,467 on the sale of the subsidiary.  


Operating expenses


Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $145,064, as compared to $23,263 for the same period of fiscal 2009. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to sale of interest in Moderation Ltd. and accrued of annual license fees to Lotus TV.


Other income (expenses)


Our total other income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $2,910, which consisted of interest income. For the same period of fiscal 2009, there was no other income (expenses).


Discontinued Operations


The Company recognized losses from the discontinued operations of Moderation, Ltd for the 11 months ended November 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009 of $211,298 and $475,730, respectively.  Net sales for 2010 were $2,998,507, a 22% decrease from 2009 net sales of $3,842,188.  Cost of sales for 2010 were $2,883,336, a 28% decrease from 2009 cost of sales of $4,019,913.  Operating expenses increased from $301,460 in 2009 to $384,490 in 2010.  Losses from discontinued operations allocated to the non-controlling interest were $102,269 for 2010 compared to $230,253 in 2009.


Net income (loss)


For the year ended December 31, 2010, we had a net income of $163,216 attributed to common stockholders, or $0.08 per share, as compared to a net loss of $268,740, or $0.12 per share, for the same period of 2009.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


At December 30, 2010, the Company had cash balance of $241,125.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, the operating activities of the Company provided net cash of $227,434, as compared to net cash used $1,287,759 for the same period of the prior year. This amount is mainly made up by changes in accounts receivable, inventories, and prepaid expenses.


Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $892,061 for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to cash used of $2,595,231 for 2009. This 2010 amount was primarily due to investments in note receivable and partially offset by sale of interest in Moderation Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company. The 2009 amount pertains to purchase of property, plant and equipment.


During the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, there were no financing activities, as compared to $1,940,000 of net cash provided for 2009 in the form of contributed capital from non-controlling interest in subsidiary.


In our opinion, available funds and revenues generated from our operation will satisfy our capital requirements for the next twelve months.  However, we may need to raise additional funds to pursue growth opportunities and make capital improvements.  We may raise funds through private placements, either in equity offerings, or interest bearing



12



borrowings.  There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise additional funds through offerings or other sources.  If we are unable to raise funds, our ability to continue with operations will be materially hindered.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


None.


Critical Accounting Policies


Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, such as doubtful accounts, inventories, and impairment of long-lived assets. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed 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.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


The accounting policies that we follow are set forth in Note 2 to our financial statements as included in this report.  These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.


Going Concern


The Company has not been profitable to date. It has financed operations principally through equity investments, and its ability to generate sufficient revenues to fund operations is uncertain. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of $136,222, and has accumulated a total deficit of $375,552 as of December 31, 2010. There can be no assurance that it will ever operate profitably, and if the losses continue, the Company’s ability to operate may be severely impacted or alternatively it may be forced to terminate operations.

Item 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA




Report of Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm



To The Board of Directors of

Credit One Financial, Inc.

New York, New York


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Credit One Financial, Inc., and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Credit One Financial, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended 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 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss from continuing operations and an accumulated deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 10. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CREDIT ONE FINANCIAL, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2010



Note 1 –Nature of Business


Credit One Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on September 24, 1999.  The Company was engaged in market research regarding the cost and availability of non-performing credit card debt portfolios.  It was also engaged in research regarding the current market price for re-performing portfolios as well as the market prices offered for portfolios deemed non-collectable at the time of sale.


In February 2008, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Global Select Limited in Hong Kong. Under the agreement, a joint venture company, Moderation Limited, was set up in Hong Kong, whereby, on January 12, 2009, the Company contributed $16 million Hong Kong dollars, approximately $2.06 million, in exchange for 51.6% of the equity interest in Moderation, and Global Select and its partner together contributed $15 million Hong Kong dollars, approximately $1.94 million, for 48.4% of the equity interest in Moderation. The purpose of the joint venture is to engage in a business of natural resources products, primarily graphite at this time, in China.


In January 2009, Moderation Limited established a wholly owned subsidiary “Liaoning Sinorth Resources Co., Ltd.” in Yingkou, Liaoning Province, China. The main business of Liaoning Sinorth Resources Co., Ltd. is processing and distribution of mineral products, primarily graphite, in China.


In August 2010, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary “E&M International Limited (“E&M”)” in the Cayman Islands.  The purpose of E&M is to conduct its operations in the business of entertainment and media. On September 16, 2010, E&M changed its name to CEM International Ltd. (“CEM”).


On November 18, 2010, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with China Minerals International Limited (“China Minerals”).  Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, the Company agreed to sell and China Minerals agreed to acquire the Company’s 51.6% equity interest in Moderation Limited (“Moderation”), a subsidiary of the Company located in Hong Kong, for $16 million Hong Kong dollars, approximately $2.06 million in cash. The transaction was closed on November 30, 2010.


Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Provision for Income Taxes


Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities recognized for differences between the financial statement and tax basis thereon, and for the expected future tax benefits to be derived from net operating losses and tax credit carry forwards. The Company has $331,649 in U.S. net operating loss carry-forwards and $43,903 in Hong Kong net operating loss carry-forwards as of December 31, 2010, and a valuation allowance equal to the tax benefit of the accumulated net operating losses has been established since it is uncertain that future taxable income from operations in the United States of America will be realized during the applicable carry-forward periods. The net operating loss carry-forwards may be limited under the change of control provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, Section 382.

The Company applies the provisions of income tax accounting standards for uncertainty in income taxes, which prescribe a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.  The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  When applicable, the Company will include interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.


Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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.  Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.


Fair Value Measurements


The Company follows accounting guidance relating to fair value measurements. This guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:


Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.


Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.


Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.


The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the unobservable inputs.


The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, which consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, are based on level 1 input, and equal carrying amounts.


Cash and Equivalents


For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


As of December 31, 2010, the Company maintained $213,826 in foreign bank accounts not subject to FDIC coverage. The remaining balance of $27,299 at December 31, 2010 was maintained in a domestic bank account and fully insured by FDIC.


Foreign Currency


The Company reports it financial position and results of operations in U.S. dollars.  For its subsidiaries that have functional currencies that are foreign currencies, the elements of the financial statements are translated by using a current exchange rate.  For assets and liabilities, the exchange rate at the balance sheet date is used and for revenues, expenses, gains, and losses, the exchange rate at the dates on which those elements are recognized is used.  Transaction adjustments result from the process of translating the subsidiaries’ financial statements into US dollars and are not included in determining net income, but are reported in other comprehensive income.  There was currency translation adjustment of $5,363 for the year ended December 31, 2010.


Foreign currency transactions are transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity's functional currency.  At the date the transaction is recognized, each asset, liability, revenue, expense, gain, or loss arising from the transaction is measured and recorded in the functional currency of the recording entity by use of the exchange rate in effect at that date.



20



At each balance sheet date, recorded balances that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the recording entity are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate, with any resulting differences reported in the current period statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized no in foreign currency exchange losses in the consolidated statements of operations.


Inventory


Raw material inventories consisted of mixed-size and semi-processed graphite which were further processed into medium- and high-carbon, high-purity, micro-power and expandable graphite to become finished goods inventories.  Inventory was stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first out method. Cost included materials, labor, and production overhead related to the purchase and production of inventory. The Company reviewed its inventory regularly to identify potentially obsolete inventory.   No reserve was considered necessary as of December 31, 2010.


In the normal course of business, the Company entered into raw material purchase and finished goods sales contracts at fixed prices and quantities for terms which extend beyond the balance sheet date. Provisions for losses, if any, to be sustained related to such commitments were recognized when such losses are probable.


Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable were recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts was the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company determined the allowance based on a review of specifically identified accounts and aging data.  The Company reviewed its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, allowance for doubtful accounts was $-0- and $52,063, respectively.


Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission revenue recognition accounting standards.  Sales revenues are recognized when the products are shipped to the customers, net of discounts and collectibility is reasonably assured.  No provisions are made for returns because, historically in China and in the industry, there have been very few sales returns and adjustments that have impacted the Company’s ultimate collection of revenues.


As an advertising agent, CEM is in the service business dedicated to creating, planning and handling advertising for its clients.  Advertising revenue is recognized upon the delivery of the contracted advertising services and when no significant Company performance obligation remains. Service revenue is recognized as the contracted services are rendered.


Exclusive Advertising Rights


Exclusive advertising rights represent costs for exclusive rights to advertise on Macau Lotus Satellite TV Media Limited’s (“Lotus”) network. The costs were determined as the difference between the face value of a non-interest bearing note receivable from Lotus and the present value of the note receivable at the time of issuance. This intangible asset is being amortized over the remaining life of the rights, which expire August 31, 2020.


Imputed Interest


During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company issued a non-interest bearing note receivable which matures in 2020.  The note receivable was recorded at issuance at its present value using an effective interest rate of 8%, which was the Company’s stated rate on another note receivable.  At the balance sheet date, the note is revalued with the change in present value recorded as interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.


Shipping and Handling Costs


The Company recognized amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping as revenue. The costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling were classified as cost of sales.


Impairment of Long Lived Assets



21




Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison for the carrying amount of an asset to future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets which considers the discounted future net cash flows.


Prepaid Expenses


Prepaid expenses at December 31, 2009 represented prepayment for the purchase of graphite from miners and other graphite suppliers, as well as prepaid valued-added taxes.


Property, Plant and Equipment


Acquisitions of property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements of property, plant and equipment are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of furniture and equipment are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each class of depreciable assets, which is 3-20 years.


Properties under construction are recorded as construction in progress, and upon completion of construction, are transferred to a depreciable asset class, at which time the depreciation would start.


Land Use Rights


Land use rights represented the cost to obtain the right to use land in China.  Land use rights are carried at cost and amortized over the life of the rights of 50 years.


Earnings Per Share


Earnings Per Share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrants.  The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company's common stock at the average market price during the period.  The Company has no stock options, warrants or other potentially dilutive instruments outstanding at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.


Consolidation Scope and Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements presented the financial position and the results of operations of Credit One Financial, Inc. and its 51.6% owned subsidiary, Moderation Limited (a Hong Kong corporation, “Moderation”) through November 30, 2010, the date Moderation was sold.  Moderation, in turn, was the 100% owner and consolidated Liaoning Sinorth Resources Co., Ltd, a People’s Republic of China corporation.  


The non-controlling interest in Moderation was classified as part of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet, and the non-controlling interest’s share of Moderation’s net loss was shown as a reduction of the Company’s net loss in the consolidated statement of operations.


All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


Reclassifications


Certain amounts reflected in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2009 have been reclassified from previously reported amounts.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying amount reported in the consolidated condensed balance sheets for accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and put liability approximates fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for line of credit approximates fair value because the actual interest rates do not significantly differ from current rates offered for instruments with similar characteristics.

 

We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Cash, short term investment, warrants and reset derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), we group our assets at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.


In May 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-19 (ASU 2010-19), Foreign Currency (Topic 830): Foreign Currency Issues: Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. The amendments in this Update are effective as of the announcement date of March 18, 2010.  The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-19 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.


In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 (ASU 2010-17), Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition.  The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.  If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity should apply the amendments retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption.  The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-17 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.


In March 2010, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, under ASC Topic 605 on Revenue Recognition.  This standard provides that the milestone method is a valid application of the proportional performance model for revenue recognition if the milestones are substantive and there is substantive uncertainty about whether the milestones will be achieved.  Determining whether a milestone is substantive requires judgment that should be made at the inception of the arrangement.  To meet the definition of a substantive milestone, the consideration earned by achieving the milestone (1) would have to be commensurate with either the level of effort required to achieve the milestone or the enhancement in the value of the item delivered, (2) would have to relate solely to past performance, and (3) should be reasonable relative to all deliverables and payment terms in the arrangement.  No bifurcation of an individual milestone is allowed and there can be more than one milestone in an arrangement.  The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements.


In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, which updates the guidance in ASC 855, Subsequent Events, such that companies that file with the SEC will no longer be required to indicate the date through which they have analyzed subsequent events. This updated guidance became effective immediately upon issuance and was adopted as of the first quarter of 2010.


In January 2010 the FASB issued Update No. 2010-06 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“2010-06”). 2010-06 requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and disclosures regarding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements, on a gross basis, for Level 3 fair value measurements. 2010-06 also calls for further disaggregation of all assets and liabilities based on line items shown in the statement of financial position. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating whether adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.




23



There were various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


Note 3- Discontinued Operations

Note 5 – Land Use Rights


All land in the People’s Republic of China is government owned and cannot be sold to any individual or company.  Instead, the government grants the user a “Land use right” (the “Right”) to use the land.


On November 29, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with the Chinese government, whereby the Company would acquire for RMB 5,000,000 (equivalent $758,725 at December 31, 2010) the right to use certain land.  The Company had remitted RMB 1,500,000 (equivalent $227,618 at December 31, 2010) to use the government for these rights, with the remaining RMB 3,500,000 (equivalent $531,107 at December 31, 2010) to be paid once the deed has been awarded.  The purchase price was amortized over the term of the right, which is 50 years.


Net land use right at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

Note 6 - Note Receivable and Exclusive Advertising Rights Asset


CEM International Limited entered into an exclusive agreement with Macau Lotus Satellite TV Media Limited (Lotus) on August 26, 2010 to provide advertising services for a ten year period commencing on September 1, 2010.  In consideration for the exclusive advertising rights granted by Lotus, CEM will provide advertising services and issue, over the course of the agreement, US$10 million in loans to Lotus. The amount and duration of each loan shall be negotiated by the parties, depending on Lotus’s financial needs.


On December 17, 2010 CEM issued Lotus a HK$15,000,000 (US$1,928,839) loan. This loan is backed by a non-interest bearing promissory note, due on August 31, 2020. The loan has been discounted, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet to its fair market value of HK$7,105,808 (US$913,872) using an effective interest rate of 8%.  Interest accreted to the note was US$2,911 during 2010.


An intangible asset captioned Exclusive Advertising Rights, has been recorded in the Balance Sheet representing the difference between the face value of the Note and the present value of the Note. The difference is deemed an asset because the interest-free Note was a condition of the exclusive advertising agreement.  Exclusive Advertising Rights will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the rights, which expire August 31, 2020.


Note 7 – Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns.


Effective January 1, 2008, the Chinese government enacted the Corporate Income Tax Law, and promulgated related regulations, which, among other things, imposes a unified income tax rate of 25% for both domestic and foreign invested enterprises. The tax rate for Hong Kong is 16.5%.


Due to the Company’s accumulated net losses, there was no provision for income taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2010 was 0% due to the net operating loss carryforward.  The Company’s taxes were subject to a full valuation allowance as follows at December 31, 2010 and 2009:

The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved.


The tax authority of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Government conducts periodic and ad hoc tax filing reviews on business enterprises operating in the PRC after those enterprises have completed their relevant tax filings, hence the Company’s tax filings may not be finalized. It is therefore uncertain as to whether the PRC tax authority may take different views about the Company’s tax filings which may lead to additional tax liabilities.


The Company has no United States corporate income tax liability as of December 31, 2009 and 2010.


Note 8- Reverse Stock Split


The Company’s Board approved an amendment to the Companies articles of incorporation authorizing a fifty to one reverse stock split on all issued and outstanding stock. The Amendment was filed with the Secretary of the State of Florida and became effective on December 27, 2010. The financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effects of this transaction. The beginning common stock and additional paid in capital accounts were adjusted as follows as of December 31, 2008:

Note 9 – Capital Stock and Contributed Capital


On March 30, 2005, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation, to authorize the maximum number of shares to have outstanding at any one time to be 110,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $0.001 per share.  As of December 31, 2010, there were 2,155,623 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding.




26



On January 8, 2010, the board of directors and a majority of the Company’s shareholders at its Annual Stockholder Meeting the Company approved to amend its articles of incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock from 110 million to 500 million.


On April 9, 2010, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida, wherein the Company effected an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of its common stock from 110,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares, with a par value of $0.001 per share.


On October 29, 2010, the stockholders of the Company voted on and approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect an one-for-fifty reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock, $0.001 par value per share.  The amendment became effective as of December 27, 2010.  All share transactions disclosed in these financial statements give retroactive effect to this 1:50 reverse split.


Note 10 – Going Concern


The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a net loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $136,222. The Company also has an accumulated deficit of $375,552 as of December 31, 2010. The Company may have to seek loans or sale of its securities to raise cash to meet its cash needs.  


There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve profitable operations to obtain additional funding. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.


Note 11 – Establishment of a Subsidiary


On January 12, 2009, the Company remitted $2.8 million to its joint venture company, Moderation Limited (“Moderation”).  Of the $2.8 million remitted, $2,063,185 were the Company’s capital investment to Moderation for 51.6% of the equity interest in Moderation, the remaining $736,815 was provided by the Company to Moderation as temporary working capital at interest rate of 8% annually. On October 29, 2008, the Chinese government approved Moderation’s application for setting up a wholly owned subsidiary “Liaoning Sinorth Resources Co., Ltd.” (“Liaoning Sinorth”) in Yingkou, Liaoning province, China.  The working capital loan and intercompany accounts are eliminated in consolidation.


In August 2010, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary, E&M International Limited (“E&M”) to engage in the business of entertainment and media.  E&M was incorporated in the Cayman Islands.  On September 16, 2010, the name of E&M was changed to CEM International Ltd. (“CEM”).


On November 18, 2010, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with China Minerals International Limited (“China Minerals”).  Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, the Company agreed to sell and China Minerals agreed to acquire the Company’s 51.6% equity interest in Moderation Limited for $16 million Hong Kong dollars, approximately $2.06 million in cash. The transaction was closed on November 30, 2010.


Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies


On August 26, 2010, E&M entered into an Advertising Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Macau Lotus Satellite TV Media Limited (“Lotus TV”), pursuant to which Lotus TV authorizes E&M as its exclusive agent to operate all of its advertising businesses, and to be entitled to all the revenues generated therefrom (“Advertising Rights”).


The term of this Agreement is 10 years from September 1, 2010 to August 31, 2020. In consideration for Lotus TV’s grant of the Advertising Rights, E&M agrees to pay Lotus TV a fixed annual fee every year (the “Annual Fee”) regardless of the total amount of advertising revenues received by E&M. Under the Agreement, E&M will pay Lotus TV an initial Annual Fee of $1,000,000 Hong Kong dollars (approximately US$128,900) for the first year of the Agreement, which Annual Fee will increase at 10% every year for the following two years. The initial annual fee has not yet been paid, and the Company accrued $42,870 as payable in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010.



27




E&M also agrees to extend to Lotus TV, interest free, a credit facility consisting of a series of loans (each a “Loan”) totaling a minimum of US$10 million over a period of 10 years. The terms of each Loan and the increase of Annual Fee after the first three years of the Agreement will be negotiated by the parties depending on financial needs and the advertising revenues. The Company currently expects that the loans will be originated from its cash reserve, advertising revenue and, if necessary, raised from the capital market.


Note 13 – Risks and Uncertainties


The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected by many risks and uncertainties including the following:


The Company started current operations in 2009 and has not been profitable to date. It has financed operations principally through equity investments, and its ability to generate sufficient revenues to fund operations is uncertain. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $136,222, and has a total accumulated deficit of $375,552 as of December 31, 2010.  There can be no assurance that it will ever operate profitably, and if the losses continue, the Company’s ability to operate may be severely impacted or alternatively it may be forced to terminate operations


As a U.S. based company doing business in China, the Company must comply with all Chinese laws, rules and regulations, and pronouncements, and endeavor to obtain all necessary approvals from applicable Chinese regulatory authorities.


The Company’s operations could be adversely affected by changing political and economic policies in China.


The Company is constructing a processing and repackaging facility in China on land leased from the Chinese government, the final land use rights have not yet been awarded to the Company by the Chinese government.


Chinese government control of currency conversion may affect the Company’s ability to pay dividends declared, if any, in foreign currencies.


Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Chinese currency and the U.S. dollar may bring down the Company’s operating income.


Note 14- Subsequent Events


In January 2011, the Company collected proceeds of approximately $790,000 from notes receivable with Moderation Limited and its subsidiary CEM International Ltd loaned Lotus $780,000 pursuant to their Advertising Agreement. The note is non-interest bearing and payment is due on August 31, 2020.

During the recent fiscal years ending ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and the subsequent period through June 30, 2010, there have been no (i) disagreements with Berman Hopkins on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Berman Hopkins satisfaction, would have caused Berman Hopkins to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports; or (ii) “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.


The Company has provided Berman Hopkins with a copy of the above disclosures and requested that Berman Hopkins furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statement. A copy of Berman Hopkins’ letter, dated August 2, 2010 was filed as Exhibit 16.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed on August 3, 2010.


(b) New independent registered public accounting firm


On July 14, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company engaged Moss, Krusick & Associates, LLC of Winter Park (Orlando), Florida (“Moss, Krusick”) as the Company’s new independent public accounting firm.  Moss, Krusick was recently formed as a result of the split off of the securities practice of Berman Hopkins into a new firm, Moss Krusick.  This was a result of the decision by Berman Hopkins to substantially end its securities practice.  The principals of Moss, Krusick are the same auditors who were engaged on the audit of the Company while at Berman Hopkins.


During the recent fiscal years ending December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of Moss Krusick, the Company has not consulted Moss Krusick regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)).



Item 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. 


Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2010.  Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report based on the material weakness described below.


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 prevented or detected on a timely basis.


As used herein, the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms issued by the SEC.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


(b) Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting


The management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over our financial reporting. 


The term internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the



29



issuer'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:


(1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;


(2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and


(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


To evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, we have adopted the framework prescribed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and the related guidance provided in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — Guidance for Smaller Public Companies, also issued by COSO.

 

Based on our evaluation of our internal controls as of December 31, 2010, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were

ineffective in enabling the Company to record, process, summarize and report, in a timely manner, the information that the Company is required to disclose in its Exchange Act reports. Control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, are described below.  


Material Weaknesses


Lack of Independent Directors.  We do not have effective policies regarding the independence of our directors and do not have independent directors. The lack of independent directors means that there is no effective review, authorization, or oversight of management or management’s actions by persons that were not involved in approving or executing those actions.


Lack of Effective Policies Regarding the General Accounting System. We do not have any documented processes for the input, accumulation, or testing of financial data that would provide assurance that all transactions are accurately and timely recorded or that the financial reports will be prepared on a periodic basis.


Lack of Effective Control over Financial Statement Disclosure. We do not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.


Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the criteria prescribed by COSO and the related guidance provided in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies, issued by COSO.


Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has determined that the financial resources and personnel needed to address the material weaknesses identified or conduct a more robust evaluation of its controls would be overly costly and burdensome and is currently not warranted.  As the Company grows and resources become available, management will develop and implement remedial actions to address the material weaknesses it has identified.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.


(c) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting



30




Except for the material weakness noted above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


(d) Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm


This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Pursuant to Item 308(b) of Regulation SK, management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to Rule 2-02(f) of Regulation S-X.

31




CORPORATE GOVERNANCE


The business, properties and affairs of the Company are managed by the Chief Executive Officer under the direction of the Board of Directors. The Board has responsibility for establishing broad corporate policies and for overall performance and direction of the Company, but is not involved in day-to-day operations. Members of the Board keep informed of the Company’s business by participating in Board meetings, by reviewing analyses and reports sent to them regularly, and through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer and other officers.


Board Leadership Structure


As our sole executive officer and sole board member, Dicky Cheung, our Chief Executive Officer, serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. As a result of the size of the Company and only having one executive officer, the Board believes this leadership structure provides the most efficient and effective leadership model for the Company by enhancing the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s ability to provide clear insight and direction of business strategies and plans to both the Board and management. The Board regularly evaluates its leadership structure and currently believes the Company can most effectively execute its business strategies and plans if the Chairman is also a member of the management team. A single person, acting in the capacities of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, promotes unity of vision and leadership, which allows for a single, clear focus for management to execute the company’s business strategies and plans. While the Board has not made a determination as to director independence and our sole Directors is considered as non-independent, we do not have a designated lead independent director.


The Board's Role in Risk Oversight


We take a comprehensive approach to risk management which is reflected in the reporting process by which our management provides timely and comprehensive information to the Board to support the Board’s role in oversight, approval and decision-making. As often as required, the Board reviews the Company’s strategy, the key risks affecting strategy, operations, reporting, legal and compliance, the status of those risks, and how those risks are being managed. At present the Board does not have standing Audit, Nominating or Compensation Committees, or committees performing similar functions. The Board as a whole is responsible for risk oversight. In particular, the Board (i) oversees risk management in the areas of internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, and legal and regulatory compliance, reviews with management and our independent registered public accounting firm our policies and practices with respect to risk assessment and management, and our exposure to material financial risk and management’s efforts to monitor and control such exposure; (ii) oversees the organization, membership and structure of our Board of Directors and the our corporate governance practices; and (iii) oversees our compensation policies and reviews the conduct incented by those programs, including the impact on risk-taking by our executive officers and employees. The Board regularly receives management updates on our business operations, financial results and strategy and discusses risks related to the business. The Board also regularly receives reports from our internal personnel and independent accountants.


Committees of the Board of Directors


The Company currently does not have standing Nominating, Compensation or Audit committees, or committees performing similar functions. Nor do we have a written Nominating, Compensation or Audit committee charter. Since there is only one director, our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to set up such committees because it believes that the functions of such committees are being adequately performed by the board of directors and these committees would be the same one board member in any case.


The Company intends to seek qualified independent directors to serve on the board and ultimately form standing audit, nominating and compensation committees.


Director and Nominee Qualifications


Our Board of Directors is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become Board members and recommending to the Board director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders and candidates to fill vacancies on the Board. Additionally, in selecting nominees for directors, the Board will review candidates recommended by stockholders using the same general criteria as other candidates.



32




There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. There are no specific, minimum qualifications that the board of directors believes must be met by a candidate recommended by the board of directors. The entire board of directors will assess candidates, whether submitted by management or stockholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.  


Stockholders may recommend director nominee candidates by sending the following information to the Board of Directors, Credit One Financial, Inc., 80 Wall Street, Suite 818, New York, NY 10005: stockholder’s name, number of shares owned, length of period held, and proof of ownership; name, age and address of candidate; candidate’s detailed resume; description of any arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and the candidate; and signed statement from the candidate confirming his or her willingness to serve on the Board of Directors.


Audit Committee Financial Expert


The Board of Directors of the Company determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a board member that qualifies as "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We believe that our board of directors is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not currently warranted.


Director Independence


The Company is presently not required to comply with the director independence requirements of any securities exchange, which requires that a majority of a company's directors be independent.  Our Board of Directors intends to appoint additional members, each of whom will satisfy the director independence guidelines in a manner consistent with the definitions of “independence” set forth in SEC Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


Board of Directors Meetings


Because our Board of Directors currently has only one board member, who is also our sole executive officer, i.e., Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Board has no regularly meeting scheduled. The Board reviews the Company’s affairs throughout the year.


Code of Business Conduct and Ethics


We have adopted a written Code of Ethics (the “Code”) hat applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions and all of our employees. The primary purpose of the Code is to deter wrongdoing and to promote:


l

Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;


l

Full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Commission and in other public communications made by the Company;


l

Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;


l

Prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and


l

Accountability for adherence to the Code.


Any waiver of the Code may only be made by our Board of Directors and will be promptly disclosed on a Form 8-K. The Code is available in print without charge by writing to: Credit One Financial, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 80 Wall Street, Suite 818, New York, NY 10005.

Director Compensation


Directors do not receive any compensation for their services as directors. Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix the compensation of directors. No amounts have been paid to, or accrued to, directors in such capacity. As of the date of this proxy statement, no guidelines for the compensation of our non-employee directors have been adopted.


Compensation Interlocks and Insider Participation


There were no compensation committee or board interlocks among the members of our Board.


Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act


Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, as of the date of this report, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are complied with.



Item 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION



Compensation Discussion and Analysis


The Company does not currently have a Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Until a formal committee is established, our entire Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with the Company’s compensation philosophy. The Board ensures that the total compensation paid to the executives is fair, reasonable and competitive.


Compensation Philosophy and Objectives


The Board believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by the Company, and which aligns executives’ interests with those of the stockholders by rewarding performance above established goals, with the ultimate objective of improving stockholder value. As a result of the size of the Company and only having one executive officer, the Board evaluates both performance and compensation on an informal basis. For the last three fiscal years, the Company's sole executive officer receives only nominal salary from the Company, and there have been no any other kind of compensation paid to him from the Company. Upon hiring additional executives, the Board intends to establish a Compensation Committee to evaluate both performance and compensation to ensure that the Company maintains its ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly-situated executives of our peer companies. To that end, the Board believes executive compensation packages provided by the Company to its executives, including the named executive officers, should include both cash and stock-based compensation that reward performance as measured against established goals.


Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions


The Board makes all compensation decisions for, and approves recommendations regarding equity awards to, the executive officers and Directors of the Company. Decisions regarding the non-equity compensation of other employees of the Company are made by management.


Compensation-Related Risk




34



For the last three fiscal years, our sole executive officer receives only nominal salary ($1,000 per month) from the Company, and there have been no any other kind of compensation paid to him from the Company. The Board, together with management, has reviewed the Company’s broad-based compensation practices and policies and has concluded that such practices and policies do not create risks that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Item 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS; AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE



Transactions with Related Persons


In July 2007, Companhhia Internacional Tek Tat Limitada, a company controlled by Dicky Cheung, our President and CEO, acquired an aggregate of 77,649 shares, or approximately 49.9%, of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock, from former directors and officers of the Company, for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $349,521.


In July and October 2007, respectively, the Company issued to Dicky Cheung, our President and CEO, three promissory notes, in an aggregate principal amount of $620,000 in consideration for a $620,000 cash loans made by Mr. Cheung to the Company. Interest on the note accrued at the rate of 5% per year.

Item 14.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES



Prior to July 14, 2010, Berman Hopkins Wright & LaHam, CPAs and Associates, LLP (“Berman Hopkins”) was our independent registered public accounting firm. On July 14, 2010, the Board of Directors engaged Moss, Krusick & Associates, LLC as our new independent public accounting firm.  Moss, Krusick was recently formed as a result of the split off of the securities practice of Berman Hopkins into a new firm, Moss Krusick.  This was a result of the decision by Berman Hopkins to substantially end its securities practice.  The principals of Moss, Krusick are the same auditors who were engaged in the audit of the Company while at Berman Hopkins.   


Principal Accountant Fees and Services


The following is a summary of the fees billed to us by Moss Krusick and Berman Hopkins for professional services rendered for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

(5)   Pre-Approval Policies


The Company does not have an audit committee at present.

Our Board has also discussed with Moss Krusick the matters required to be discussed pursuant to Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standards and to SAS No. 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU Section 380), which includes, among other items, matters related to the conduct of the audit of the Company's financial statements.


Our Board has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Moss Krusick required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and has discussed with Moss Krusick its independence from the Company.


Our Board has considered whether the provision of services other than audit services is compatible with maintaining auditor independence.


The Board’s policy is to pre-approve all audit services and all permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be provided by the Company's independent auditor; provided, however, pre-approval requirements for non-audit services are not required if all such services (1) do not aggregate to more than five percent of total revenues paid by the Company to its accountant in the fiscal year when services are provided; (2) were not recognized as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (3) are promptly brought to the attention of the Board and approved prior to the completion of the audit.

Our Board pre-approved all of the fees described above.
