·                     the operation of our business; and

In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this annual report.

History and Corporate Structure

 

Sitoa Global Inc. is a Delaware corporation that was originally incorporated under the name CDoor Corp. on November 18, 2004. At that time the Company was a development stage company that owned a United States patent (patent No. 5,074,073) (the “Patent”) for a Car Door Safety Feature Device, and the Company’s principal business plan was to develop a prototype of the Patent and then manufacture and market the product and/or seek third party entities interested in licensing the rights to manufacture and market the safety system.

 

 

Acquisition and Sale of Wanxin

 

Following a change of management that occurred on November 2, 2006, the Company changed its business plan from the development of the Car Door Safety Feature Patent and began focusing on the Chinese biopharmaceutical industry. On January 12, 2007, the Company acquired Wanxin Bio-Technology Limited (“Wanxin”), a British Virgin Islands company, pursuant to a share exchange transaction, whereby the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Wanxin in exchange for 1,750,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (before giving effect to a 40-for-1 forward split effected on March 2, 2007), and the surrender and cancellation of 95% of the voting stock of the former majority shareholder of the Company. As a result of the share exchange transaction, Wanxin became the Company’s subsidiary, and Wanxin’s subsidiaries and indirect subsidiaries, Manhing Enterprises Limited, a Hong Kong company, Shanghai Wanxing Bio-pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., a PRC company, and Shanghai Wanxing Bio-science Cosmetic Co., Ltd., a PRC company, became the Company’s indirect subsidiaries. Through its subsidiaries, Wanxin was a developer of genetically engineered recombinant protein drugs and vaccines in China. On March 2, 2007, the Company changed its name to “Sinobiomed, Inc.” to reflect its new business.

 

In March 2009, all the assets of Wanxin’s PRC subsidiaries, including their books and records, were seized by the China Construction Bank in satisfaction of bank loans owed to the bank by them. As a result of the seizure, Wanxin could not carry on its business and operations. The debt of the subsidiaries exceeded the value of the assets and the prospects for generating sufficient cash flow to repay the debt were doubtful. Furthermore, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer at the time, resigned his positions with the Company, but retained management control of the subsidiaries by virtue of his nominee’s status as their Chief Representative, a legal status in China that is difficult to change without cooperation of the incumbent. In June 2009 the Company’s Board of Directors decided to abandon Wanxin. In December 2010, the Company sold all its interest in Wanxin to China Nonferrous Metals Resource Geological Survey Inc. (“China Nonferrous”), a British Virgin Islands company, for an aggregate sale price of $200,000, pursuant to a stock purchase and sale agreement. The abandonment and sale of Wanxin was accounted for in the financial statements as a disposition of the subsidiaries for proceeds of $200,000 as of January 1, 2009. The foregoing description of the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is qualified by reference to the Purchase and Sale Agreement which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on EDGAR on December 22, 2010.

 

 

Acquisition of Computer Server Assets

 

On December 10, 2010, the Company consummated an asset purchase agreement, dated December 10, 2010, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase eight computer servers and associated fixtures for 225,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company believed that the acquisition of the assets would enable the Company to utilize such telecommunications infrastructure to pursue its new business direction in the areas of e-commerce, media and social networking.

 

 

Our Growth Strategy

 

We aim to position ourselves as a leading provider in e-commerce solutions and services. We have identified the following factors critical to the achievement of this goal:

·         Enable our current customers to continue growing their e-commerce business

·         Leverage our business development relationships to acquire new customers

·         Continue utilizing our efficient cost structure, and source technical and engineering personnel in Asia for servicing our customers

·         Develop new technologies and service products

·         Identify opportunities to acquire technologies or companies to accelerate the growth of the Company.

Growth of the E-Commerce Industry

 

We believe there are a number of factors that are contributing to the continued growth of e-commerce: (i) adoption of the Internet continues to increase globally; (ii) broadband technology is increasingly being used to deliver Internet service enabling the delivery of richer content as well as larger files to consumers; (iii) Internet users are becoming increasingly comfortable with the process of buying products online; (iv) the functionality of online stores continues to improve, offering a broader assortment of payment options with more promotion alternatives; (v) businesses are placing more emphasis on their online channel, reaching a larger audience at comparatively lower costs than other methods; and (vi) concerns about conflicts between online and traditional sales channels continue to subside. We believe that the Company will be able to participate in the growth of the e-commerce industry be leveraging its current business model.

 

 

Competition

 

Our business is rapidly evolving and highly competitive. Our current and potential competitors include: (1) physical-world retailers, vendors, distributors, and manufacturers of our products; (2) other online e-commerce and mobile e-commerce sites; (3) a number of indirect competitors, including media companies, web portals, comparison shopping websites, and web search engines, either directly or in collaboration with other retailers; (4) companies that provide e-commerce services, including website development, fulfillment, and customer service; (5) companies that provide infrastructure web services or other information storage or computing services or products. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our e-commerce business include selection, price, and convenience, including fast and reliable fulfillment. Many of our current and potential competitors have greater resources, longer histories, more customers, and greater brand recognition. They may secure better terms from suppliers, adopt more aggressive pricing and devote more resources to technology, infrastructure, fulfillment, and marketing. Other companies also may enter into business combinations or alliances that strengthen their competitive positions.

 

 

Employees

 

The Company has a core team of six employees based in the US focused on project management and technology development. It sources technical and engineering personnel in Asia on an outsourced basis to develop e-commerce solutions and provide ongoing hosting services to individual customers. Competition for qualified personnel in the industry is intense. The Company’s future success will depend, in part, on its continued ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.

 

 

Transfer Agent

 

We have engaged Nevada Agency and Trust Company as our stock transfer agent. Nevada Agency and Trust Company is located at 50 West Liberty Street, Reno, Nevada 89501.

Regulations

 

The servers for our online e-commerce platform are located in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government or regulatory agencies may block or suspend our internet transmission capabilities if we are deemed to be in violation of the following content regulations for online services:

·         Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) – We are subject to the laws, rules and regulations regarding trading. The Securities and Futures Commission is responsible for: maintaining and promoting the fairness, efficiency, competitiveness, transparency and orderliness of the securities and futures industry. The Commission may suppress illegal, dishonorable and improper practices in the securities and futures industry; to take appropriate steps in relation to the securities and futures industry. Regardless of the communication or delivery medium used, the Commission will continue to apply the general anti-fraud and anti-manipulation provisions of the relevant Ordinances in its enforcement actions. If any person responsible for activities over the Internet is found to have acted in contravention of the provisions of the Ordinances or appears to have been involved in any misconduct whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere, the Commission may exercise its regulatory powers (including prosecution or taking other disciplinary actions as may be required); and when necessary, the Commission may consider other regulatory means available to it including seeking cooperation from foreign regulators and law enforcement agencies to take joint enforcement action, if necessary. We are prohibited from carrying on any regulated activity, as defined under the Securities and Futures Ordinance, such as dealing in securities and/or futures contracts, unless we have been granted the appropriate license(s) from the Commission.

·         Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong) – We are subject to data privacy laws, rules and regulations that regulate the use of customer data. In Hong Kong we are governed by the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and as a data user we are prohibited from doing or engaging in any practice that contravenes the data protection principles set out therein.

·         Telecommunications Ordinance (Cap. 106 of the Laws of Hong Kong), Crimes Ordinance (Cap. 200 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and Theft Ordinance (Cap. 210 of the Laws of Hong Kong) – Provisions under the Telecommunications Ordinance, Crimes Ordinance and Theft Ordinance make it an offense for unauthorized access to computer by telecommunication, to access a computer with criminal or dishonest intent, and extend the meaning of criminal damage to include misuse of computer programs or data, and burglary to include unlawfully causing a computer to function other than as it has been established and altering, erasing or adding any computer program or data. In this respect, any of the abovementioned computer related crimes committed by any staff, employees or agents, will subject us to possible criminal charges and/or investigations.

These rules and regulations are administered by the three branches of Hong Kong’s Commerce and Economic Development Bureau: (i) the Commerce, Industry and Tourism Branch (responsible for policy matters on Hong Kong's external commercial relations, inward investment promotion, intellectual property protection, industry and business support, tourism, consumer protection and competition), (ii) the Communications and Technology Branch (responsible for policy matters on broadcasting, film-related issues, overall view of creative (including film) industry, development of telecommunications, innovation and technology, and control of obscene and indecent articles); and (iii) the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (responsible for policy, strategy and execution of information technology programs and initiatives).

If any of these government agencies acts to block or limit access to our website or adopt policies restricting our customers from providing us with accurate and up-to-date information, the value of our electronic trading platform could be negatively impacted, which would adversely affect our ability to offer compelling hiring and marketing solutions and subscriptions to our customers, enterprises, and professional organizations.

 

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

We operate in a highly competitive environment in which there are numerous factors which can influence our business, financial position or results of operations and which can also cause the market value of our common stock to decline. Many of these factors are beyond our control and therefore, are difficult to predict. The following section sets forth what we believe to be the principal risks that could affect us, our business or our industry, and which could result in a material adverse impact on our financial results or cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate or decline.

 

4
 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We are subject to risks associated with changing technologies in the e-commerce industry, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage.

The successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to continuously evolve our existing solutions and introduce new solutions to meet customers’ needs. We believe that our customers rigorously evaluate our solution and service offerings on the basis of a number of factors, including, but not limited to: quality; price competitiveness; technical expertise and development capability; innovation; reliability and timeliness of delivery; operational flexibility; customer service; and overall management.

Our success depends on our ability to continue to meet our customers’ changing requirements and specifications with respect to these and other criteria. There can be no assurance that we will be able to address technological advances or introduce new offerings that may be necessary to remain competitive within the e-commerce industry.

 

Systems failures could cause interruptions in our services or decreases in the responsiveness of our services which could harm our business.

 

If our systems fail to perform, we could experience disruptions in operations, slower response times or decreased customer satisfaction. Our ability to facilitate e-commerce transactions successfully and provide high quality customer service depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer and communications hardware and software systems. These systems have in the past experienced periodic interruptions and disruptions in operations, which we believe will continue to occur from time to time. Our systems also are vulnerable to damage or interruption from human error, natural disasters, power loss, telecommunication failures, break-ins, sabotage, computer viruses, intentional acts of vandalism and similar events. We do not have fully redundant capabilities. Any systems failure that causes an interruption in our services or decreases the responsiveness of our services could impair our reputation, damage our brand name and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows.

 

Our cost structure is partially fixed. If our revenues decline and we are unable to reduce our costs, our profitability will be adversely affected.

 

Our cost structure is partially fixed. We base our cost structure on historical and expected levels of demand for our services, as well as our fixed operating infrastructure, such as computer hardware and software, hosting facilities and security and staffing levels. If demand for our services declines and, as a result, our revenues decline, we may not be able to adjust our cost structure on a timely basis and our profitability may be materially adversely affected.

 

Attrition of customer accounts and failure to attract new accounts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. Even if we do attract new customers, we may fail to attract the customers in a cost-effective manner, which could materially adversely affect our profitability and growth.

 

Although we offer e-commerce solutions and services designed to support and retain our customers, our efforts to attract new customers or prevent attrition of our existing customers may not be successful. If we are unable to retain our existing customers or acquire new customers in a cost-effective manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows would likely be adversely affected. Although we have spent significant resources on business development and related expenses and plan to continue to do so, these efforts may not be cost-effective at attracting new customers.

 

Any future acquisitions may result in significant transaction expenses, integration and consolidation risks and risks associated with entering new markets, and we may be unable to profitably operate our consolidated company.

 

Although our growth strategy has not focused historically on acquisitions, we may in the future selectively pursue acquisitions and new businesses. Any future acquisitions may result in significant transaction expenses and present new risks associated with entering additional markets or offering new products and services, and integrating the acquired companies. Because acquisitions historically have not been a core part of our growth strategy, we do not have significant experience in successfully completing acquisitions. We may not have sufficient management, financial and other resources to integrate companies we acquire or to successfully operate new businesses and we may be unable to profitably operate our expanded company. Additionally, any new businesses that we may acquire, once integrated with our existing operations, may not produce expected or intended results.

 

5
 

We may be unable to respond to customers' demands for new e-commerce solutions and service offerings and our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.

 

Our customers may demand new e-commerce solutions and service offerings. If we fail to identify these demands from customers or update our offerings accordingly, new offerings provided by our competitors may render our existing solutions and services less competitive. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to respond to customers' demands for new offerings on a timely and cost-effective basis and to adapt to address the increasingly sophisticated requirements and varied needs of our customers and prospective customers. We may not be successful in developing, introducing or marketing new offerings. In addition, our new offerings may not achieve market acceptance. Any failure on our part to anticipate or respond adequately to customer requirements, or any significant delays in the development, introduction or availability of new offerings or enhancements of our current offerings could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows.

 

We may be unable to respond to the evolving industry practices and technology solutions, and our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.

 

To remain competitive as an e-commerce solutions and services provider, we must continue to invest in research and development of new technology solutions in order to keep up with the ever evolving industry practices and enhancements to our existing solutions. The process of developing new technologies, products and services is complex and expensive. The introduction of new solutions by our competitors, the market acceptance of competitive solutions based on new or alternative technologies or the emergence of new industry practices could render our solutions less competitive.

 

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations, agreements with third parties and make sales in Asia, which may experience corruption. Our activities in Asia create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants or agents of our company, because these parties are not always subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. Also, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

 

RISKS RELATED TO THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK

The market price of our common stock can become volatile, leading to the possibility of its value being depressed at a time when you may want to sell your holdings.

The market price of our common stock can become volatile. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly. These factors include:

·         our earnings releases, actual or anticipated changes in our earnings, fluctuations in our operating results or our failure to meet the expectations of financial market analysts and investors;

·         changes in financial estimates by us or by any securities analysts who might cover our stock;

·         speculation about our business in the press or the investment community;

·         significant developments relating to our relationships with our customers or suppliers;

·         stock market price and volume fluctuations of other publicly traded companies and, in particular, those that are in our industry;

·         customer demand for our business solutions;

·         investor perceptions of our industry in general and our Company in particular;

·         the operating and stock performance of comparable companies;

·         general economic conditions and trends;

·         announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or divestitures;

·         changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretation or principles;

·         loss of external funding sources;

·         sales of our common stock, including sales by our directors, officers or significant stockholders; and

·         addition or departure of key personnel.

6
 

Securities class action litigation is often instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. Should this type of litigation be instituted against us, it could result in substantial costs to us and divert our management’s attention and resources.

Moreover, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock and other interests in our Company at a time when you want to sell your interest in us.

Our common stock is quoted on the over-the-counter electronic quotation system maintained by the OTC Markets which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB, an over-the-counter electronic quotation system maintained by the OTC Markets. The OTCQB is a significantly more limited than a trading market such as the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. The OTCQB is a less liquid market for the trading of our common stock by existing and potential stockholders, and so trading of our common stock on the OTCQB could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future. We plan to list our common stock as soon as practicable. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of any stock exchange, or that we will be able to maintain any such listing.

We may be subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. If our common stock becomes a “penny stock,” we may become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or the Penny Stock Rule. This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Penny Stock Rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

There can be no assurance that our common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock were exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.

We may be required to raise additional financing by issuing new securities with terms or rights superior to those of our shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price of our shares of common stock.

We may require additional financing to fund future operations, develop and exploit existing and new products and to expand into new markets. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current shareholders will be reduced, and the holders of the new equity securities may have rights superior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price and the voting power of shares of our common stock. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt securities, the holders of these debt securities would similarly have some rights senior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, and the terms of these debt securities could impose restrictions on operations and create a significant interest expense for us.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board deems relevant.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as set forth below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

 

Synnex Corp. v. Sitoa International, Inc., et al.

 

The Company has been joined as third-party defendant in Synnex Corp. v. Sitoa International, Inc., et al., filed in the Superior Court of California, Alameda County. On October 1, 2010, Synnex Corp., a supplier of electronics products, originally brought suit against Sitoa Corporation, an internet re-seller controlled by our former Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Calbert Lai, alleging liability for approximately $54,000 of unpaid product. Sitoa Corporation admitted owing the amount but contended that this liability should be set off against Synnex's liability to Sitoa Corporation for lost profits and other damages suffered by them, due to a pricing error committed by Synnex in December 2009. On October 14, 2010, the Company answered the original complaint and filed a cross-complaint against Synnex, seeking to recover damages for the pricing error.

 

On October 11, 2011, Synnex amended its complaint to include the Company as a defendant, under the mistaken belief that the Company is responsible for the debts and obligations of Sitoa Corporation, including the $54,000 that is the subject of Synnex’s complaint.

 

We do not believe that Synnex’s claim against the Company has any merit. We originally changed our name to Sitoa Global, Inc. in anticipation of a merger with Sitoa Corporation which was never consummated. Instead, we entered into a software licensing agreement with Sitoa Corporation, in connection with which, we issued shares of our common stock to Sitoa Corporation and Mr. Calbert Lai, the Chief Executive Officer of Sitoa Corporation, was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer. However, on March 1, 2012, we rescinded and terminated the software licensing agreement, pursuant to a Rescission and Termination Agreement, dated March 1, 2012, between the Company and Sitoa Corporation, and in connection therewith, Sitoa Corporation returned the shares issued in connection with the agreement and Mr. Lai resigned from his position with the Company. As such, we are no longer affiliated with Sitoa Corporation and we were not affiliated with Sitoa Corporation at the time when the issue in question occurred. Furthermore, Sitoa Corporation has admitted to owing the amount claimed by Synnex in the case. Trial in the case is scheduled for October 2, 2012.

The Company expects to continue utilizing its efficient cost structure, and source technical and engineering personnel in Asia for servicing its international customers. It retains employees in the San Francisco Bay area for higher value-add tasks such as project management and technology development which could open opportunities for further product and business development. The Company is also pursuing initiatives to identify opportunities to acquire technologies or companies that can accelerate the growth of the Company.

Need for Additional Capital

 

To become profitable and competitive, and execute strategic acquisitions, we may have to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional equity capital to develop our business and continue earning revenues, we might have to suspend or cease operations and our investors may lose their investment.

 

We have no assurance that future financings will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop, or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

 

For the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our registered independent auditors for the year ended December 31, 2011 have issued a going concern opinion.  This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next 12 months unless we obtain additional capital or generate revenues to pay our bills.  Potential sources of revenues are our three customers for whom we are currently hosting e-commerce solutions and a pipeline of multiple potential new customers. Our other source for cash at this time is investments by others in the Company. 

 

On December 31, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $367,511 compared with a working capital deficit of $235,919 on December 31, 2010. The decrease is primarily due to a decline of our cash to finance the growth of the Company. Operating activities used $509,102 in cash in the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.  Investing activities in the 12 months ended December 31, 2011 used zero.  Financing activities provided $349,300 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2011.

 

We believe that we can continue to receive revenues from our three customers and acquire additional customers that could engage the Company to develop and host e-commerce solutions for them. We expect to continue utilizing our efficient cost structure by sourcing personnel in Asia for servicing our customers. In order to accelerate the growth of the Company, we will also consider raising additional funding from investors.

 

We may not have enough working capital to complete our plan of operations.  If it turns out that we have not raised enough capital to complete our anticipated business development, we will try to raise additional funds from private placements or loans. There is no assurance that we will raise additional capital in the future or that future financings will be available to us on acceptable terms.  If we require additional capital and are unable to raise it, we may have to suspend or cease operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from providing hosting and integration services and licensing the use of its technology platform to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the service has been provided to the customer (for licensing, revenue is recognized when the Company’s technology is used to provide hosting and integration services); (3) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) the collection of fees is probable. Integration revenue was recognized when integration was completed and accepted by the customer. Monthly hosting fees are recognized when billed.

 

13
 

We earned revenue from providing hosting and integration services to 4-GS, Ltd., ZBL Cybermarketing, Ltd., i-Media, Ltd., Chunjie365 and Sonsi Inc. For all five companies, we provide e-commerce solutions with our US engineering team and outsourced personnel in Asia. We charge 4-GS, ZBL Cybermarketing and i-Media monthly minimum integration and hosting fees plus additional professional hourly fees for project management and consulting. The fee arrangement with those three companies is covered under the strategic partnership agreement with Soconison Technology Ventures, dated July 11, 2011. Soconison Technology Ventures is a shareholder in 4-GS, ZBL Cybermarketing and i-Media. From Chunjie365, we receive a revenue share of their e-commerce transactions. From Sonsi, we earn monthly minimum hosting fees plus hourly professional fees for additional integration services.

Cost of Service

 

Cost of Service was $649,937 and $0 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

General and administrative expenses:  General and administrative expenses were $1,204,250 and $276,538 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Sitoa Global, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Sitoa Global, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Company’s 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 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 financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sitoa Global, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 has suffered recurring losses from operations and has negative working capital. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, based on our audits, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced losses since commencement of operations, and has negative working capital and stockholders’ deficit which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company specializes in providing e-commerce solutions and services that facilitate multi-channel B2C (business-to-consumer) and B2B (business-to-business) transactions. Its solutions and services enable e-commerce transactions with speed and efficiency, and allow an interactive and engaging customer experience as well as targeted marketing and advertising.

 

The Company’s revenues are generated from one-time integration fees for the implementation of e-commerce solutions as well as recurring license and service fees including revenue shares. The Company currently hosts five existing e-commerce solutions and has recently entered into two partnership agreements to develop additional e-commerce solutions.

 

These financial statements of Sitoa Global Inc. (the “Company”), www.sitoaglobal.com, have been prepared on a going-concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

The Company experienced losses during 2011 amounting to $1,899,850 and has negative working capital as of December 31, 2011, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to meet its commitments as they become payable is dependent on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing or achieving a profitable level of operations. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals.

The Company believes that it can continue to receive revenues from its three customers and acquire additional customers that could engage the Company to develop and host e-commerce solutions for them. The Company expects to continue utilizing its efficient cost structure by sourcing personnel in Asia for servicing its customers. In order to accelerate the growth of the Company, it will also consider raising additional funding from investors.

 

These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to the amounts and classifications to assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America 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. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company relies on leased hardware and software from third parties to offer its e-commerce solutions and services. Management believes that alternate sources are available; however, disruption or termination of these relationships could adversely affect our operating results in the near-term. The Company currently has three customers who provide all of the Company’s recurring revenue. Loss of any one of these customers would have a significant impact on the Company’s revenue.

 

F-7
 

 

SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

 

Sitoa Global specializes in providing e-commerce solutions and services that facilitate multi-channel B2C (business-to-consumer) and B2B (business-to-business) transactions. We identify our reportable segments as those customer groups that represent more than 10% of our combined revenue or gross profit or loss of all reported operating segments. We manage our business on the basis of the one reportable segment online e-commerce solutions and service provider. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole. We do not segregate assets by segments since our chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, does not use assets as a basis to evaluate a segment’s performance.

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.

 

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are carried at cost less a provision for depreciation on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Estimated useful life of the computer equipment is 3 years.

 

RECLASSIFCATION

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for stock based compensation by recognizing the fair value of stock compensation as an expense in the calculation of net income (loss). The Company recognizes stock compensation expense in the period in which the employee is required to provide service, which is generally over the vesting period of the individual equity instruments. Stock options issued in lieu of cash to non-employees for services performed are recorded at the fair value of the options at the time they are issued and are expensed as service is provided.

 

 

Loss Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including vested and unvested stock options that are in the money.

 

F-8
 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, interest payable, shareholder loans and other current liabilities. The carrying values of financial instruments reflected in these financial statements approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.

 

 

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

On August 4, 2011, we effected a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split every twenty shares of our common stock were converted into one share of our common stock. Immediately after the reverse stock split we had 22,901,912 shares of our common stock outstanding. All share and per share related amounts in this report have been restated to reflect the reverse split.

 

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue from providing hosting and integration services and licensing the use of its technology platform to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the service has been provided to the customer (for licensing, revenue is recognized when the Company’s technology is used to provide hosting and integration services); (3) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) the collection of fees is probable. We account for our multi-element arrangements, such as instances where we design a custom website and separately offer other services such as hosting, which are recognized over the period for when services are performed.

 

 

COST OF SERVICE

Cost of service results from sourcing technical and engineering personnel in Asia on an hourly or project basis in order to develop e-commerce solutions and provide ongoing hosting services to individual customers. The Company utilizes an outsourced staffing firm with offices in Hong Kong and China.

 

 

CAPITALIZATION OF SOFTWARE

The Company accounts for internal-use software and website development costs, including the development of its partner marketplaces in accordance with ASC 350-50 (Intangibles – Website cost). The Company capitalizes internal costs consisting of payroll and direct payroll-related costs of employees who devote time to the development of internal-use software, as well as any external direct costs. It amortizes these costs over their estimated useful lives, which typically range between three to five years. The Company’s judgment is required in determining the point at which various projects enter the stages at which costs may be capitalized, in assessing the ongoing value of the capitalized costs, and in determining the estimated useful lives over which the costs are amortized. The estimated life is based on management’s judgment as to the product life cycle. Development cost of various platforms is being expensed. The Company cannot separate internal cost on a reasonably cost-effective basis between maintenance and upgrades, and cannot assess the ongoing value of its various projects, thus all project costs are expensed as such costs are incurred.

 

 

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are provided for using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using current tax rates on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the respective tax basis of the assets and liabilities. The Company provides a valuation

allowance on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.

 

F-9
 

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting this standard, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognized interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line in the accompanying statements of operation. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation on Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 provides guidance that allows companies the option of how to present the components of, and a total, for net income, the components of, and a total, for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income as either one continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. There will no longer be the option to present items of other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders' equity.

 

There were various other accounting standards and interpretations recently issued, none of which is expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, operations or cash flows.

Employee Stock Option Plan

 

The Company has a stock option and incentive plan, the “Stock Option Plan”. The exercise price for all equity awards issued under the Stock Option Plan is based on the fair market value of the common share price which is the closing price quoted on the OTCQB on the last trading day before the date of grant. The stock options generally vest on a monthly basis over a two-year to three-year period, and have a five year life.

 

The Stock Option Plan allows for the issuance of stock options, stock awards, or other incentives. An aggregate of 25,000,000 shares are authorized under the Stock Option Plan. As of December 31, 2011, there are 21,552,500 shares reserved for future grants under the Stock Option Plan.

Expected to vest options outstanding as of December 31, 2011 will vest on a monthly basis as per executive employment agreements.

 

The fair value of the options granted in June 2011 was estimated at a value of $0.60 per share, and the fair value of the options granted in September, 2010 was estimated at a value of $0.14 per share. These estimates were made using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

 

  December 31, 2011 December 31, 2010

 

Volatility:

 

320%

 

166%

Risk-free interest rate: 0.76% 2.06%
Dividend yield: - -
Expected lives (years): 3 5

 

 

As of December 31, 2011, total compensation cost related to unvested stock-based awards granted to employees, but not yet recognized, was $1,508,333 net of estimated forfeitures. This cost will be amortized on a straight line basis over a weighted average remaining vesting period of 4.2 years and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures. Future option grants will increase the amount of compensation expense that will be recorded.

 

Options outstanding as of December 31, 2011 vested as follows:

6. INCOME TAXES

 

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant components of the deferred tax assets are as follows:

 

    2011  
Deferred Tax Assets      
Net operating loss carryforwards   367,017
     Credit carryforwards      
     Fixed Assets & Intangibles      
     Accruals and Reserves   348,551  
Total Deferred Tax Asset   715,568  
Valuation Allowance   -715,568  
Net Deferred Tax Assets $ -  
       
Deferred Tax Liabilities      
Property and Equipment   -
Other   -
Deferred Tax Liabilities $ -  

 

The differences between the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company's effective tax are as follows:

Tax at Federal Statutory Rate   34.00%  
State Taxes, Net of Federal Benefit   5.80%  
Tax Credits      
Permanent Book/Tax Differences      
Change in Valuation Allowance   -39.80%  
Other      
Provision (Benefit) for Taxes   0.00%  

 

 

The company's provision for income taxes consisted of the following:

Current      
     Federal   -
     State   800  
     Foreign   -  
Total Current Tax Expense (Benefit) $ 800  

 

Deferred      
     Federal   -
     State   -  
     Foreign   -  
Total Deferred Tax Expense (Benefit) $ -  
       
Total Tax Expense (Benefit) $ 800  

 

F-13
 

The Company has not filed U.S. and state income tax returns from inception to 2010. As such, no net operating loss carryover is available for these years. In 2011, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal and California income tax purposes of approximately $921,000 and $921,000, respectively, available to reduce future income subject to income taxes. If not utilized, the Company’s federal and state net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2031 and 2031, respectively.

 

Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realizable; therefore, management has established a valuation allowance for all of the deferred tax assets.

 

The Company filed a U.S. income tax return for 2011 and adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10 on January 1, 2011. ASC 740-10 prescribes a comprehensive model of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure in the financial statements of any uncertain tax positions that have been taken or expected to be taken on a return. The cumulative effect of adopting ASC 740-10 resulted in no adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2011. No liability related to uncertain tax positions is recorded on the financial statements. It is the Company’s policy to include penalties and interest expense related to income taxes as a component of other expense and interest expense, respectively, as necessary. There are no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2011.

 

The Company’s tax years from inception to 2011 will remain open for examination by federal and state authorities for three and four years, respectively, from the date of utilization of any net operating loss credits.

 

 

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Accounts payable and other accruals includes $80,000 of accrued salary due to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as of December 31, 2011, compared to $20,000 of accrued salary to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as of December 31, 2010.

 

 

8. CONCENTRATION OF CUSTOMERS

 

For the three twelve months ended December 31, 2011, we earned 27% of our service revenue from 4-GS, 21% from ZBL Cybermarketing, 21% from i-Media, 17% from Chunjie365, and 15% from Sonsi. We will continue to seek diversifying our revenue sources from our current and new customers but there is no guarantee that the e-commerce solutions that we host will produce revenues.

 

 

9. SEGMENT REPORTING INFORMATION

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

 

F-14
 

Sitoa Global specializes in providing e-commerce solutions and services that facilitate multi-channel B2C (business-to-consumer) and B2B (business-to-business) transactions. We identify our reportable segments as those customer groups that represent more than 10% of our combined revenue or gross profit or loss of all reported operating segments. We manage our business on the basis of the one reportable segment online e-commerce solutions and service provider. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole. We do not segregate assets by segments since our chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, does not use assets as a basis to evaluate a segment’s performance.

 

The following is a summary of our revenues by geographic region based on customer location:

Item 9. Changes AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES

 

On April 14, 2011, we dismissed Schumacher & Associates, Inc. as our independent registered public accounting firm. On the same date, the Audit Committee Chair approved and authorized the engagement of the accounting firm of Burr Pilger Mayer, Inc. as our new independent registered public accounting firm.

 

Schumacher & Associates, Inc.’s (“S&A”) report on our financial statements dated March 31, 2011 for the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that S&A’s report contained an explanatory paragraph in respect to the substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In connection with the audit of our financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 through the effective date of dismissal on April 14, 2011, there were no disagreements, resolved or not, with S&A on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of S&A would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their report on the financial statements for such years.

 

 

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Under the direction of George Yu, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and concluded that (i) there continue to be material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, that the weaknesses constitute a “deficiency” and that this deficiency could result in misstatements of the foregoing accounts and disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to the financial statements for the periods covered by this report that would not be detected, and (ii) accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2011.

 

Annual Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

1.                  Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

 

31
 

2.                  Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

 

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

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

As of December 31, 2011, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2011.

 

Management believes that the material weakness set forth in item (2) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of 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 the management's report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have

 

1.                  appointed Dennis Schmal as Chairman of our board of directors and Corporate Secretary, and we have

2.                  appointed James Wang as additional outside director to our board of directors and audit committee. We expect that

 

the resulting fully functioning audit committee will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.

 

Except for the foregoing, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
