Part I

NOTE: When we use the term(s) “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Company,” we mean ChineseInvestors.com, an Indiana Corporation.

Item 1. Business.

1.a.) General Development of Business.

ChineseInvestors.com, an Indiana corporation, was incorporated on January 6, 1997 in the State of Indiana under the corporate name “MAS Acquisition LII Corp.” Prior to June 12, 2000, the Company was a ‘blank check’ company seeking a business combination with an unidentified business.

On June 12, 2000, we acquired 8,200,000 shares of common stock, representing 100% of the outstanding shares of Chineseinvestors.com, Inc., which was incorporated in the State of California on June 15, 1999. In connection with this acquisition, Aaron Tsai, our former sole officer and director, was replaced by Chineseinvestors.com, Inc.’s officers and directors.

The stockholders of Chineseinvestors.com, Inc. were issued 8,200,000 shares of our common stock, or approximately 96% of our total outstanding common shares after giving effect to the acquisition. Chineseinvestors.com, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary and we changed our name to Chineseinvestors.com, Inc.  Immediately prior to the acquisition of Chineseinvestors.com, Inc., MAS Capital Inc. returned 8,200,000 shares of common stock for cancellation without any consideration. The purpose of this reorganization of Chineseinvestors.com, Inc. was to increase the number of stockholders in anticipation for the development of a secondary trading market for the shares of our common stock which has been substantially delayed due to various market as well as internal conditions.

Chineseinvestors.com, Inc. was established as an ‘in language’ (Chinese) financial information web portal, offering various levels of information relative to the US Equity and Financial Markets as well as certain other specific financial markets (including China A Shares, FOREX, etc.). Over the years, various informational components have been added and the general content improved as the Company continues to derive the majority of its income from various subscription services it offers to its customers.  We offer subscription services to provide education about investing and news and analysis on the stock market as well as news about particular stocks that we are following.  Nevertheless, we do not provide our subscribers with individualized investment advice and never have investment discretion over any subscriber’s or site visitor’s funds.

Chineseinvestors.COM, Inc. has been in continuous operation since July of 1999 using the web domains (uniform resource locators) of www.chineseinvestors.com and www.chinesefn.com.   

We established a Representative Office business presence in Shanghai, China in late 2000 from which we could fulfill most of our support types of service and have a leased office presence in Shanghai as well as in Arcadia, California.  The Representative Office in China is wholly-owned and registered to the Company.
 
The mission of a Representative Office is to act as a liaison between the home office and trade organizations or related industries in China.  Representative offices often engage in market research, establish contacts with prospective customers and partners, and provide support services for the home office’s operations.   The representative office is not a separate legal entity; rather it is operating in China as a branch of the Company.
 
More specifically, over the past five (5) years we have focused on the continued development of financial market segment information services (in Chinese character sets) offered in a subscription services format as a primary source of income. We have found that providing real time information in Chinese character sets is an underserved marketplace and that we have become an internet site for those seeking information in this particular market segment.

In early 2010, the Company began to prepare the necessary documents and information needed for a Form 10 submission. In particular, we have retained the firm of B F Borgers CPA PC to be our independent auditor.

We filed our Form 10/12G on or about November 29, 2010 with the SEC and responded to all comments, receiving our letter of acknowledgement and completion of that process on or about June 10, 2011. During the interim time period we filed all documents as required by the SEC relative to amendments, 10Q’s, 8K’s, and revisions thereto.

We began a search for a Market Maker in early 2011, eventually selecting Glendale Securities having offices in Sherman Oaks, California.

As of May 2011, the Company employed 35 persons in our Shanghai Office including our CEO and Office Manager in a variety of operational capacities.   Of these persons, 32 are full time and 3 are part time.

1.b.) Shareholder, Company, and Material Events Recap.
 
In November 2009, the Company completed a private placement of stock that started in December, 2008. We raised a total of one million dollars in that private placement. In addition, the Company initiated work to compile the financial statements and data that would eventually be used in the generation of its Audited Financial Statements.
 
In December of 2009, the Company purchased a note held by Hollingsworth LLC, a past majority shareholder   for $112,500. The note was related to a purchase of Hollingsworth LLC’s interests in the Company by Sabean” (hereafter referred to as “Sabean”), a shareholder in October of 2005 (as noted in our prior disclosures).
 
In January 2010, the Company repurchased 13,451,461 shares from Sabean in consideration of a payment of $150,000, forgiveness of the note receivable owed by Sabean (via the Hollingsworth LLC interests as purchased in October of 2005), and through the issuance of 2,500,000 stock options. The Company then retired these shares to treasury reducing the total number of shares outstanding accordingly.
   
In April of 2010 and with Mr. Myers earlier resignation in March of 2009, the Board of Directors had been seeking a new independent member for the Board of Directors, as it anticipated filing a Form 10 registration statement in an effort to become a public reporting company later in the year.  On April 30, 2010, James S. Toreson was appointed to the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors felt that Mr. Toreson’s general corporate experience and past service with the Company (Interim CEO from March 2002 through March 2003) qualified him as an excellent choice for its 1st independent director.  Mr. Toreson was originally nominated by Hollingsworth LLC as a condition of their participation and purchase of stock as noted but Mr. Toreson has not been affiliated with the Hollingsworth or its principals since January of 2003.
 
On June 26, 2010, the Company held an annual meeting of its shareholders for prior years as needed as well as for Fiscal Year 2010 in Arcadia, California.   Mr. Wang, Mr. Roper, and Mr. Toreson were elected to full terms as directors at the meeting for the current fiscal year ending May 31, 2011.
 
The Company filed a Regulation D offering in January of 2011.  The proceeds of the private placement will be focused on continuing our growth.  As of May 2011 we had raised $525,000 through the sale of 4,375,002 shares of common stock at $0.12 per share, adding 17 new shareholders resulting in a total of 352 shareholders of record. We are not using a broker-dealer to sell our shares.  
 
In June 2011 the Company elected to increase the target amount raised within the Regulation D offering to $1.5M and subsequently stickered the PPM, noting the increase from one million to one and one half million dollars.
 
As of August 29, 2011 the Company had raised $1,069,000 through the sale of 8,908,335 shares of its common stock to 27 accredited investors.
 
In August of 2011, the Company repurchased 5,170,106 shares and retired 2,500,000 options belonging to Sabean in consideration of a payment of $250,000 that included certain repayment terms and conditions.As of August 3, 2011 Sabean is no longer a shareholder in the Company.

1.c.) General Company Information.

Market and Market Prospects

The Company’s primary market focus is on the segment of the Chinese population (both US and abroad) that does not have adequate English language reading and or speaking skills but who wish to participate in the various financial markets that typically do not offer real time ‘in-language’ information from an investment and or general information perspective. With the emergence of a Chinese middle class as well as those who have had wealth transferred to them, there appears to be a continuing expansion of interest by the Chinese public in the general financial and securities marketplace as a whole.

The Company
 
ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. endeavors to be an innovative company, specializing in providing real-time market commentary and analysis in the Chinese language. Our services are mainly offered to Chinese speaking individuals, offering several types of subscription-based services and serve various types of investors and traders as depicted in our Subscriber Services offering(s) shown herein. Market coverage includes the general range of US financial markets, Chinese A Shares, and the FOREX market.
 
The Company has worked toward establishing its web presence. Due to the lack of site use information in competitor companies and based upon our web site access metrics; the Company must acknowledge that while it has a substantial public audience, it is difficult to ascertain exactly where any specific leadership position lies and therefore can make no definitive statement as to an overall position of our website and presence within our specific marketplace.

With our screen layout and menu options, we display our research tools in a manner designed for ease of use. The content and technology comprising our integrated information platform is also designed to be adaptable so that as we develop new research tools and adopt new content and features, these new research tools, content and features can be easily integrated with our existing platform.

Our service offerings permit users to subscribe to several of our service packages and we have over 1,000 active paying subscribers. Our registered users are Internet users who maintain a registered account with either www.chinesefn.com or www.chineseinvestors.com.

Our website presents analysis, commentary, and computer generated quantitative analysis to provide our subscribers and users with a broad view of the world financial markets. We do not attempt to convince our users to buy or sell any securities or to invest in any specific investments. We believe our subscribers and users view us as an unbiased provider of financial information. A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from the annual and monthly subscription fees charged for our service offerings. We receive subscription fees at the beginning of the subscribers’ subscription periods noting that the related revenue is deferred over the specific subscription period(s).
 
To facilitate the offering of our services the Registrant has five full time editorial staff members.  Each staff member is a graduate of a college or university in China and is fluent in English.  These staff members monitor CNBC, Bloomberg and other sources of financial news for developments on the stocks being tracked.  They do in fact listen to conference calls conducted by the management of the tracked stocks, but do not ask questions.  The staff members translate the news, developments and their notes and provide that information to the subscribers.  The stocks tracked are generally large capitalization stocks traded on the NYSE or NASDAQ-NMS.  Companies are selected based on industry and market segment.  The individual Registrant periodically selects and or drops the companies being tracked.

We currently offer different service packages incorporating some or all of our research tools to our users. Our service packages provide research tools focused around three main areas: securities market data, technical analysis, and fundamental analysis. We view the migration of existing subscribers and the attraction of new subscribers to our service offerings with more comprehensive research tools as one of our most important growth strategies.

We may, from time to time, offer discounts or promotions, depending on our perceived need in accordance with our pricing policy. Any of such discounts or promotions could apply to new or repeat subscribers as we may determine.

We have taken steps to protect our customer and proprietary information through deployment of additional security contracted for through our web hosting service provider, IT Software Design.  To our knowledge no such dissemination of Company information has occurred as of the date of this documents submittal.  We are unsure of what material adverse effect such an event would cause.  We are in the process of securing service and trade mark protection for our Chineseinvestors.com and Chinesefn.com names.

Customer Support

Our customer support center provides our subscribers real-time and personal support. Our customer support personnel, in addition to their sales and marketing functions, help our existing and prospective subscribers to resolve any technical problems they may have.

The Company currently utilizes several advertising relationships in a continuing effort to build its brand awareness including SVC Media Services, AM1300 Radio, Phoenix Satellite Television, SINA, etc.  The Company plans to continue to use these resources as well as add new media providers based upon need, performance, and cost.  The Company plans to continue with other advertising efforts in the form of seminars, referrals, and the planned offering of educational services.
 
While the Company does not currently have a formal budget for advertising; it plans to develop a more substantial plan and outlook in the near future as a part of its business planning and strategy development efforts and as it achieves revenues and or funding that will allow it to continue to expand its business.
 
The market potentials for our Portal, IR and PR marketing and Conference and Online Platform businesses are extremely competitive and rapidly changing.  We note that at this time we have not as yet developed offerings for these particular online services and may fail to do so in a manner that might affect our businesses ability to remain competitive. Please note that while we are aware our Company may develop service offerings as noted we have not as of yet explored the potential products related to the offerings as noted above and therefore cannot describe these businesses and planned offerings as we currently have none.  

We are working on identifying other possible products that could be deployed as well as produce income for the company as they relate to "Portal, IR and PR marketing and Conference and Online Platform businesses" that could include those designed to 1) integrate with our portal such as various hybrid advertising services (word specific, etc.), 2) investor and or public relations promotional material dissemination (on behalf of various businesses and or advertisers) via website delivery mechanisms, 3) sponsoring as well as hosting related online (interactive) educational programs and conference events, etc.

We do offer various educational conferences (both free and fee based) in both China and the US on a regular basis as well as the services and information available to our subscribers and visitors on our website. These educational conferences typically include various segments dedicated to the various sectors our subscribers and guests may be interested including US Equities, Foreign Currency Exchange, China Stocks, etc.  These events generally include other speakers that have specific education and experience skills within these various sectors.  These events generally last between two and three hours and are held at public venues such as conference centers, hotels, etc.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Fiscal Year Ending May 31, 2011

Subscription Revenue:  The Company experienced a modest decrease in subscription based revenues ($834,081 decreasing to $760,748) but simultaneously experienced a significantly larger corresponding decrease in advertising related expense ($220,291 decreasing to $84,760).  It should also be noted that certain negative market conditions will correspondingly affect these sales.

FOREX Revenue:  There was a decrease in FOREX revenue from $72,636 (FY 2010) to $55,822 (FY 2011) noting this decline in revenues is expected to continue as we experience less demand for back of the house support services that generate the revenue within this category.
 
Advertising Revenue:  The revenue from advertising fell slightly from $33,100 (FY 2010) to $28,800 (FY 2011) due in part to the company’s inability to properly capitalize on its existing delivery devices.  The company is initiating improvements in both the advertising products it can sell as well as methods of selling so that this trend can be reversed as we move into 2012.
    
Annual Expenses
 
Cost of Services Sold: These related costs increased modestly (from $531,184 in 2010 to $556,195 in 2011) due to our continued improvements as well as the related costs of content delivery.We have also increased some of our editor salaries due to their value and longevity with the Company, also having a modest impact on costs.
 
General & Administrative Expenses: While these expenses have increased ($734,555 in 2010 to $948,822 in 2011) it should be noted that our non-cash compensation expense category increased from $106,073 in 2010 to $319,657.71 in 2011.  Also, it should be noted that during FY 2011 the Company bore a substantially higher level of Contract and Professional Fee related expense due to its general efforts to become a public company.

Advertising Expenses: Advertising related expenses decreased from $220,291.00 in 2010 to $84,760.00 in 2011.These expenses were lower than those of the prior year due to a substantial reduction in seminar and training as they related to US based activities.
 
In fiscal year 2011 the company raised $525,000 through a Private Placement of the Company’s stock. We also bore the additional legal, accounting, and professional expense related to this private placement as well as expenses related to our working to become a public company with an actively traded OTCBB symbol.

During the 1st quarter of 2011 we issued stock options to Warren ‘Wei’ Wang as they related to a repurchase agreement that had an impact of $160,740 on our non-cash compensation expense category.
 
During the 3rd quarter of 2011 we issued stock options to Warren ‘Wei’ Wang as they related to an agreement for such consideration, initially entered into in 2005 and as detailed in our 8K filing as well as 3rd Quarter 10Q filing in exchange for services rendered having an impact of $150,000 on our non-cash compensation expense category.
 
During the 4th quarter of 2011 we issued stock options to Clayton Miller as they related to general sales and PPM representation that had an impact of $8,917 on our non-cash compensation expense category.
 
During the 2011 fiscal year, the Company elected to initiate an effort to file as well as pursue a Form 10/12G document with the SEC in order to become a public Company.  To this end it hired multiple professional service providers as necessary to produce the relative documents as well as respond to the SEC’s comments as they came in.
 
While the Company posted losses for this annual period, it should be noted that there were additional expenses as well as expenditures of cash incurred with several significant events as well as additional funds raised in association with the private placement initiated in January of 2011.

Liquidity

The Company is currently addressing its liquidity issues by continually building upon its revenue generation subscription service products, increasing its advertising based revenues (as discussed) and by seeking investment capital through private placement of common stock and debt. Since inception, the Company has at times relied primarily upon proceeds from private placements and sales of shares of its equity securities to fund its operations. We anticipate continuing to rely on sales of our securities as well as increasing our subscriptions services revenues in order to continue to fund our business operations. It should be noted that the Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete all of the additional sales of our equity securities as planned and noted herein or that we will be able arrange for other financing to fund our planned business activities.  

While all of these factors as noted above have the potential to impact the Company’s liquidity in either a positive or negative fashion, it is the Company’s position that should there be a continuing deficit in our operating costs it will likely be the result of the additional cost burden of becoming a publicly reporting company.  To that end the Company feels it will be able to raise the necessary capital to continue operations via the sale of additional stock as already disclosed and noted herein but we can offer no guarantee that we will be able to raise the needed working capital to provide liquidity through year end 2011.  Once the Company deploys the additional educational based services (as discussed) and completes the raising of additional funds through the private placement (as discussed) it should be able to attain a break even operating basis and subsequent to a modest time period, achieve a cash flow positive position.

In reviewing the sources of capital available to the Company to address the liquidity issue we find there are three avenues we may pursue.  The first would be to increase our current revenues as they relate to existing services offered noting this effort would require the expenditure of some additional capital on various marketing efforts to increase the number of potential clients interested in one or more of our services.  This would result in additional cash demands on the Company that are currently under consideration.  The second would be to create new sources of revenue (as discussed on page 13, and as related to our "Portal, IR and PR marketing and Conference and Online Platform businesses) which would also require the expenditure of additional capital to develop as well as to market such services.  This would also result in additional cash demands on the Company.  The third would be to raise capital through the private placements of our stock or PIPE devices through a point of being able to achieve a sustainable profit as well as positive cash flow for the Company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholder’s equity. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging, or research and development services with us.

Contractual Obligations

We have no contractual obligations outstanding other than those based on a month to month continuing basis as they relate to technical services (web hosting, Bloomberg services, etc.) and as they relate to a specific office space lease in Shanghai, China (located at 18 B-C, No 55, Huai Hai Road (W), Shanghai, China, 200030).

Item 9.a. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2011. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of May 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective primarily based on these criteria, due to material weaknesses resulting from our failure to 1) implement and monitor specific cutoff procedures, 2) properly review and approve bank reconciliations or provide correct responsibilities to adequately segregate activity in the area of cash receipts and cash disbursements, 3) in journal entries are reviewed and approved prior to entry into the general ledger, 4) effectively implement comprehensive entity level internal controls, 5) adequately segregate duties within the accounting department due to an insufficient number of staff, 6) have policies and procedures in place  to insure the timely recording of its transactions in accordance with generally accepted accounting procedures, 7) to have adequate financial reporting processes to insure that restatements are not required (3rd Q 2011 example), 8) to create a charter or specific guidelines for its audit committee, and 9) implement appropriate information technology controls.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Controls and Procedures

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. Subsequent to May 31, 2011, we hired a VP of Accounting and Finance that will work with our VP of Corporate Services to initiate the implementation of appropriate controls during our 1st and 2nd quarter operations.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal controls over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

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

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of May 31, 2011 based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment, we have concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of May 31, 2011.

Management is working to improve its disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting and to resolve deficiencies.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report by our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only our management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of ChineseInvestors.com, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (“the Company”) as of May 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. 
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ChineseInvestors.com, Inc., as of May 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
 
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 circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     
Organization and Nature of Operations:

Business Description The Company was incorporated on June 15, 1999 in the State of California. The Company is a provider of Chinese language web-based real-time financial information. The Company’s operations had been located in California until September 2002 at which time the operations were relocated to Shanghai, China.

During May, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with MAS Financial Corp. (“MASF”) whereby MASF agreed to transfer control of a public shell corporation to the Company and perform certain consulting services for a fee of $30,000.

During June, 2000, the Company completed reorganization with MAS Acquisition LII Corp. (“MASA”) with no operations or significant assets. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired approximately 96% of the issued and outstanding common shares of MASA in exchange for all of its issued and outstanding common stock. MASA issued 8,200,000 shares of its restricted common stock for all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. This reorganization was accounted for as though it were a recapitalization of the Company and sale by the Company of 319,900 shares of common stock in exchange for the net assets of MASA. In conjunction with the reorganization MASA changed its name to Chineseinvestors.com, Inc.

The Company is now incorporated as a C corporation in the State of Indiana as of June 1, 2004.

1.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Cash Flows — During the year ending May 31, 2010, the Company primarily utilized cash and cash equivalents and proceeds from issuances of its common stock to fund its operations. During the two years ending May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010, the Company received $1,035,000 of proceeds from the sale of common stock.

Cash flows used in operations for the years ended May 31, 2011 and 2010 were $413,845 and $394,795, respectively which was an increase over prior years. Increased marketing costs and higher general and administrative costs due to expenses related to an attempted reverse merger and the current ongoing process of going public were the primary reasons for this increase.

Capital Resources — As of May 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $252,302 as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $154,802 as of May 31, 2010.

Since inception, the Company has primarily relied upon proceeds from private placements of its equity securities to fund its operations. The Company anticipates continuing to rely on sales of our securities in order to continue to fund its business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to its existing stockholders. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete any additional sales of our equity securities or that it will be able arrange for other financing to fund our planned business activities.

2.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:

Basis of Presentation — These accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for annual financial statements.
    
Foreign Currency – The Company has operations in the Peoples Republic of China, however the functional and reporting currency is in US dollars.  To come to this conclusion the Company considered the direction of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) section 830-10-55.
 
 
28

 
Selling Price and Market - As a representative office in China the Company is not allowed to sell directly to China based customers.  Over 90% of its customers are in the United States and 100% of all sales are paid in US dollars.  This indicates the functional currency is US dollars.
 
Financing - The companies financing has been generated exclusively from the United States.  This indicates the functional currency is US dollars.
 
Expenses – The majority of expense are paid in US dollars.  The expenses generated in China are paid by a monthly or weekly cash transfer from the US when the expenses are due, resulting in very little foreign currency exposure.  This indicates the functional currency is US dollars.
 
Numerous Intercompany Transactions – The Company has multiple transactions each month between the US and foreign representative office.  This indicates the functional currency is US dollars.
 
Due to the functional and reporting currency both being in US dollars, ASC 830-10-45-17 states that a currency translation is not necessary.

Reclassifications — Certain amounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation and to correct prior year errors.

Revenue recognition — Revenue consists of three main sources:

1. Fees from banner advertisement, webpage hosting and maintenance, on-line promotion and translation services, advertising and promotion fees for customers in the Company’s Chinese Investment Guides, sponsorship fees from investment seminars, road shows, and forums; all of which sales prices are fixed and determinable at the time the contracts are signed and there are no provisions for refunds contained in the contracts. These revenues are recognized when all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

2. Fees from membership subscriptions; these revenues are recognized over the term of the subscription. Subscription term is generally between 3 and 12 months but can occasionally be as short as 1 month or as long as 24 months. Long term deferrals are generated from subscriptions over 12 months.

3. Fees related to setting up as well as providing administrative and translation support for currency trading accounts in association with Forex. These are recognized when earned.

Costs of Services Sold — Costs of services sold is recognized as the total direct cost of the Company’s operations in Shanghai.

Website Development Costs — The Company accounts for its Development Costs in accordance with ASC 350-50, “Accounting for Website Development Costs.” The Company’s website comprises multiple features and offerings that are currently developed with ongoing refinements. In connection with the development of its products, the Company has incurred external costs for hardware, software, and consulting services, and internal costs for payroll and related expenses of its technology employees directly involved in the development. All hardware costs are being capitalized in fixed assets. Purchased software costs are capitalized in accordance with ASC codification 350-50-25 related to accounting for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use. All other costs are reviewed for determination of whether capitalization or expense is appropriate.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At certain times cash in bank may exceed the amount covered by FDIC insurance. At May 31, 2011 and 2010 there were deposit balances in a US bank of $245,191 and $147,907, respectively. In addition the company maintains cash balance in The Bank of China, which is a government owned Bank. The full balance of the deposits in China is secured by the Chinese government. At May 31, 2011 and 2010 there were deposits of $7,111 and $6,895, respectively, in The Bank of China.
     
 
29

 
  
Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk — The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable related to subscription revenue is recorded at the time the credit card transaction is completed, and is completed when the merchant bank deposits the cash to the Company bank account. Revenue related to advertising and Forex are regularly collected within 30 days of the time of services being rendered. However, since these are ongoing contracts there has been no instance of failure to pay. As of May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010, the Company had accounts receivable of $4,560 and $8,251, respectively.

The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis. As of May 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company determined that based on historically having no bad debts an allowance was not needed.

The operations of the Company are located in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy.
 
Other Current Assets — Other current assets is comprised of deposits in Chinese Renminbi on building space under an operating lease and are stated at the current exchange rate at year end.
 
Other current assets were $27,689 and $20,061 for the years ended May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010, respectively.
 
Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease. Depreciation and amortization expense was $12,499 and $14,303 for the years ended May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010, respectively.
 
Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from retirement or replacement are included in operations.

Impairment of Long-life Assets — In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There was no impairment as of May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010.

Accrued Liabilities and Other Liabilities — Accrued liabilities and other liabilities are comprised of the following:

Use of Estimates — 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 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:      
   
 
Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 
Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

 
Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

All Company financial instruments are Level one and are carried at market value. Therefore no adjustment is required.

Income Taxes — Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method of ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for net operating loss and other credit carry forwards and the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the tax effect of transactions are expected to be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the year that includes the enactment date.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a full valuation allowance since it is more likely than not that the amount will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the underlying asset or liability giving rise to the temporary difference or the expected date of utilization of the carry forwards.

Advertising Costs — Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising costs totaled $84,760 and $220,291 in fiscal year 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share — Earning (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company has adopted ASC 260 (formerly SFAS128), Earnings Per Share.

Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and New Accounting Pronouncements — In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, “Revenue Recognition — Milestone Method (ASC Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition” (codified within ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. ASU 2010-17 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-17 is not expected to have any material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-01, “Topic 105 — Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASU No. 2009- 01”). ASU No. 2009-01 re-defines authoritative GAAP for nongovernmental entities to be only comprised of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) and, for SEC registrants, guidance issued by the SEC. The Codification is a reorganization and compilation of all then-existing authoritative GAAP for nongovernmental entities, except for guidance issued by the SEC. The Codification is amended to effect non-SEC changes to authoritative GAAP. Adoption of ASU No. 2009-01 only changed the referencing convention of GAAP in Notes to the Financial Statements.

In May, 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”) codified in FASB ASC Topic 855-10-05, which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for, and disclosures of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued, or are available, to be issued. SFAS 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. SFAS 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and accordingly, the Company adopted this pronouncement during the second quarter of 2009. SFAS 165 requires that public entities evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of this document.

In April, 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” which is codified in FASB ASC Topic 825-10-50. This FSP essentially expands the disclosure about fair value of financial instruments that were previously required only annually to also be required for interim period reporting. In addition, the FSP requires certain additional disclosures regarding the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. These additional disclosures are required beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2009.

In April, 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than Temporary Impairments,” which is codified in FASB ASC Topic 320-10. This FSP modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and changes the existing impairment model for such securities. The FSP also requires additional disclosures for both annual and interim periods with respect to both debt and equity securities. Under the FSP, impairment of debt securities will be considered other-than-temporary if an entity (1) intends to sell the security, (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost, or (3) does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the entity does not intend to sell). The FSP further indicates that, depending on which of the above factor(s) causes the impairment to be considered other-than-temporary, (1) the entire shortfall of the security’s fair value versus its amortized cost basis or (2) only the credit loss portion would be recognized in earnings while the remaining shortfall (if any) would be recorded in other comprehensive income. FSP 115-2 requires entities to initially apply the provisions of the standard to previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities existing as of the date of initial adoption by making a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The cumulative-effect adjustment potentially reclassifies the noncredit portion of a previously other-than-temporarily impaired debt security held as of the date of initial adoption from retained earnings to accumulate other comprehensive income. The Company adopted FSP No. SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 beginning April 1, 2009. This FSP had no material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FSP No. SFAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP No. SFAS 157-4”). FSP No. SFAS 157-4, which is codified in FASB ASC Topics 820-10-35-51 and 820-10-50-2, provides additional guidance for estimating fair value and emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation techniques used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. The Company adopted FSP No. SFAS 157-4 beginning April 1, 2009. This FSP had no material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Stock Based Compensation — The Company accounts for share-based payments pursuant to ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” and, accordingly, the Company records compensation expense for share-based awards based upon an assessment of the grant date fair value for stock options and restricted stock awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Stock compensation expense for stock options is recognized over the vesting period of the award or expensed immediately under ASC 718 and EITF 96-18 when options are given for previous service without further recourse. The Company issued stock options to contractors that had been providing services to the Company upon their termination of services. Under ASC 718 and EITF 96-18 these options were recognized as expense in the period issued because they were given as a form of compensation for services already rendered with no recourse.

The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses during each period presented (in thousands):

Stockholders’ Equity:
 
At May 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s $.001 par value common stock authorized were 80,000,000 shares. In addition, 20,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock were authorized, but none has been issued.  All commons stock shares have full dividend rights.  However, it is not anticipated that the Registrant will be declaring distributions in the foreseeable future.

During the year ended May 31, 2011 and 2010 the Company issued 4,375,000 and 5,100,000 shares of common stock for cash consideration aggregating $1,035,000.
 
During the year ended May 31, 2010 the Company completed a transaction to repurchase approximately 75% of the common stock shares owned by the Company’s majority shareholder (“the shareholder”). The Company purchased a note receivable for $112,500 that was due from the shareholder. They then reached an agreement with the shareholder to purchase 13,451,461 of his common shares in exchange for forgiving the note, $150,000 cash, and 2,500,000 in stock options, exercisable at $.005, valued at $240,512 under Black-Scholes. Upon completion of the purchase the Company retired the 13,451,461 shares and the transaction costs are included in additional paid in capital.  It should also be noted herein that in the Subsequent Events Section there is note of a further repurchase made by the Company that retires all of the Leon J. “Sabean” interests in the company and returns his outstanding stock to treasury as well as voids the option agreement as noted herein.
 
The Note receivable was purchased for $112,500 in cash and was booked at the fair market value and purchase price of $112,500 and then written off to APIC as part of the retirement of the shares from the majority shareholder which was done at the same time. Additionally, $150,000 was paid in cash to the majority shareholder for the retirement of the note and he was given stock options with a Black-Scholes valuation of $240,512. To retire these shares forgiveness of a note worth 112,500 was given in addition to $150,000 in cash and $240,512 worth of stock options given to the majority shareholder. This totals approximately 503,000 in consideration given to retire 13,451,461 shares. This yields an effective stock price being retired of approximately 4 cents a share. Since this is well below the deemed market price of 10 cents a share remaining in APIC and no gain/loss is recognized on this since the stock price permits this value and this is a related party transaction. The note receivable being forgiven is also treated as part of this transaction since this note was purchased with the intention of using it to retire these shares and this note was purchased after negotiations with the shareholder had already begun and was purchased with this transaction in mind. Consequently, the note is considered to be part of this transaction and is accounted for as part of this transaction.

Subsequent Events:
 
Private Placement Memorandum — During the third quarter of FY 2011 the Company opened a private placement memorandum to facilitate the sale of additional shares of stock. The goal is to raise an additional $1,500,000 by selling 12,500,000 shares at $.12 per share.  As of August 16, 2011 the company has raised $1,069,000 by selling 8,908,335 new shares.

Significant Shareholder Stock Repurchase — Subsequent to year end the Company repurchased and retired 5,170,106 shares and 2,500,000 options from a significant shareholder, which completely liquidated his interest in the Company.  The total cost of the transaction to the Company was $250,000.  The initial payment of $100,000 was made in the first quarter of 2012 and the other $150,000 is due as a non-interest bearing note payable in two equal installments.  The first payment is due in the fourth quarter of the 2012 fiscal year and the final payment will be due in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Proposed Capital Raise — In late August of 2011 the Company signed a Term Sheet with a capital describing the provision of a Financing Facility to the Company having a face value of $1.5M; to be made available in $500,000 tranches in exchange for purchasing the Company's stock under a proposed S1 registration statement at 85% of the lowest daily volume average share price over a five (5) trading day period once the Company calls for the funding.  The agreement would remain in force for 24 months from the date of contemplated execution.
 
While this Term Sheet is not binding on either party, it signifies a willingness by the capital group to create a Financing Facility Agreement for the Company's consideration that should be available for the Company's review and possible approval/execution in early September.
 
If approved and subsequently executed, the Company will provide a document preparation fee the capital group of $10,000 as well as 50,000 shares (post reverse split) of the Company's restricted stock in consideration of the Facility's creation and funds availability.  The Company will also bear the cost of the creation, filing, and acceptance of an S1 document related to this facility should the Company approve and subsequently execute the Facility Agreement

Income Taxes:

The Company recorded no income tax provision or benefit for the years ended May 31, 2011 and 2010, because the Company believes it is more likely than not that these will not be utilized in the near future due to net losses. The Company generated no taxable income. The income tax provision (benefit) differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate of 34% plus applicable state rates to the loss before income taxes due to the unrecognized benefit resulting from the Company’s valuation allowance, as well as due to nondeductible expenses.

For income tax reporting purposes, the Company has approximately $1.8 million of net operating loss carry forwards that expire at various dates through 2030. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions that may limit the net operating loss carry forwards and tax credits available to be used in any given year if certain events occur, including significant changes in ownership interests. Realization of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration dates.

As of May 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had approximately $957,000 and $605,000, respectively, of net deferred tax assets, comprised primarily of the potential future tax benefits from net operating loss carry forwards. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the period in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management could not conclude that realization of the deferred tax assets as of May 31, 2011 and 2010, was more likely than not, and therefore, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax assets to zero. The valuation allowance increased approximately $182,000 and $112,000 during the years ended May 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable could be adjusted in the near term if future taxable income is generated.
