CHINA XINGBANG INDUSTRY GROUP INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated group financial statements of China Xingbang Industry Group Inc. ("China Xingbang" or the “Company”), its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) (collectively the “Group”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete audited financial statements. Unless otherwise specified, all amounts set out in the condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in US Dollars.

 

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring accruals considered necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2014, the results of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The consolidated results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s operations resulted in a net loss of $2,142,040 and net cash used in operations of $2,284,313 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had an unappropriated accumulated deficit of $7,168,263 and a working capital deficiency of $6,616,709.

 

In the course of its development activities, the Company continues to sustain losses. The Company expects to finance its operations primarily through capital contributions from stockholders and its affiliates. The Company borrowed from Mr. Xiaohong Yao ("Mr. Yao"), the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and his spouse, and companies controlled by them a net amount of $2,600,397 during the first three quarters of 2014, and the related parties agreed to lend more funds to the Company as needed for management to execute its business plan for at least the next twelve months.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required until such time as it can generate sources of recurring revenues and to ultimately attain profitability when the Company’s e-commerce business is fully developed. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 3 ORGANIZATION

 

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on April 12, 2011 as a holding company.

 

Xing Bang Industry Group Limited (“Xingbang BVI”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on March 24, 2011 as a holding company and is wholly owned by China Xingbang.

 

China Group Purchase Alliance Limited (“Xingbang HK”) was incorporated in Hong Kong on August 5, 2008 as a holding company and is wholly owned by Xingbang BVI. Xingbang HK established Guangzhou Xingbang Information Consulting Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign owned enterprise (the “WFOE”), on May 12, 2011 in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) to provide consulting, investment and technical services to Guangdong Xingbang Industry Information & Media Co., Ltd. (“Guangdong Xingbang”).

 

Guangdong Xingbang was incorporated in the PRC on January 17, 2005 as a limited liability company. Guangdong Xingbang is a print media advertising operator serving the home furnishing industry in the PRC. Guangdong Xingbang also provides marketing consulting service to clients in the home furnishing industry and local government in the PRC. Starting from August 2011, Guangdong Xingbang began to provide e-commerce services, namely B2B2C (Business-to-Business-to-Consumer), to manufacturers and distributors, and brick-and-mortar stores located in different parts of the PRC through an e-commerce platform, referred to as ju51 Mall, developed by Guangdong Xingbang. On December 31, 2013, the Company ceased its advertising and consulting service business.

 

F-5
 

 

Xinyu Xingbang Information Industry Co., Ltd (“Xinyu Xingbang”) was incorporated in the PRC on June 11, 2012 for the purpose of continuing the business of Guangdong Xingbang in the near future as Guangdong Xingbang winds down its operations. Pursuant to the Articles of Association of Xinyu Xingbang, Guangdong Xingbang and the WFOE each invested $787,030 (RMB 5,000,000) in Xinyu Xingbang and each owns 50% of the equity interest of Xinyu Xingbang. Under the Xinyu Xingbang Articles of Association, the WFOE is entitled to appoint the sole director and all members of the management team of Xinyu Xingbang and the WFOE is entitled to receive 99.99% of Xinyu Xingbang’s net profit. Based on the relevant PRC regulations, an Internet Content Provider license, or ICP license, issued by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, is required for Xinyu Xingbang to conduct business as currently contemplated. In order to be granted the ICP license, foreign investor’s ownership of Xinyu Xingbang cannot exceed 50%. Xinyu Xingbang obtained its ICP license in February 2013. Guangdong Xingbang will gradually wind down its operations and Xinyu Xingbang will carry out Guangdong Xingbang’s business except that Guangdong Xingbang will fulfill its contractual obligations under the existing customer contracts. On June 30, 2012, Guangdong Xingbang granted an exclusive license to Xinyu Xingbang to permit Xinyu Xingbang to use the trademark, domain names, intellectual property rights and any know-how Guangdong Xingbang owns for the period from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2022. Guangdong Xingbang also assigned the management right and right to receive revenue from the ju51 Mall to Xinyu Xingbang. Guangdong Xingbang will continue its corporate existence to hold the equity interest in Xinyu Xingbang for the same period.

 

Pursuant to (i) a series of contractual arrangements between the WFOE, Guangdong Xingbang and all the stockholders of Guangdong Xingbang, (ii) the share exchange agreement between China Xingbang, Xingbang BVI and all the stockholders of Xingbang BVI, and (iii) the WFOE’s 50% equity ownership of Xinyu Xingbang, the results of all these entities are consolidated together. Since they are under common control, the contractual arrangements and share exchange were accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control.

 

The Company accounts for its VIEs in accordance with ASC 810, which requires the consolidation of VIEs in which a company has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company assesses all newly created entities and those with which the Company becomes involved to determine whether such entities are VIEs and, if so, whether or not the Company is their primary beneficiary.

 

As required by ASC 810-10, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether the Company remains the primary beneficiary of Guangdong Xingbang, which also owns 50% of Xinyu Xingbang. A qualitative assessment begins with an understanding of the nature of the risks in the entity as well as the nature of the entity’s activities including terms of the contracts entered into by the entity, ownership interests issued by the entity and the parties involved in the design of the entity. The Company’s assessment on the involvement with Guangdong Xingbang reveals that the Company has the absolute power to direct the most significant activities that impact the economic performance of Guangdong Xingbang. Under the accounting guidance, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Guangdong Xingbang and the results of Guangdong Xingbang and Xinyu Xingbang are consolidated in the Company’s group financial statements for financial reporting purposes. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has no equity interest in Guangdong Xingbang; none of the Company’s assets serve as collateral for Guangdong Xingbang; creditors of Guangdong Xingbang have no recourse to the Company; and the Company has not provided any guarantees to Guangdong Xingbang.

 

The assets and liabilities associated with Guangdong Xingbang and Xinyu Xingbang are combined and presented on a gross basis, prior to consolidation adjustments with other entities in the Group, and are as follows:

 

   As of
September 30,
2014

   (Unaudited)     
Cash and cash equivalents  $187,937   $258,701

Total liabilities and deficit  $2,376,266   $1,753,206

In 2011, the Company agreed to waive the management fee payable by Guangdong Xingbang for a period of 3 years from May 13, 2011 to May 12, 2014 in order for Guangdong Xingbang to preserve enough cash to fund its e-commerce business. In 2014, the Company agreed to extend the waiver of management fee payable by Guangdong Xingbang for an additional 3 years from May 13, 2014 to May 12, 2017.

 

The liabilities recognized as a result of combining the VIEs do not necessarily represent additional claims on the Company’s general assets; rather, they represent claims against the specific assets of the combined VIEs. Conversely, assets recognized as a result of combining the VIEs do not represent additional assets that could be used to satisfy claims by the Company’s creditors as they are not legally included within the Company’s general assets.

 

Immediately prior to the PRC restructuring transactions that were completed on May 13, 2011, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and his spouse controlled Guangdong Xingbang as they owned 90% and 10% respectively, of its registered capital. The Chief Executive Officer also indirectly controlled WFOE as he owned 56.25% of the issued share capital of Xingbang BVI, the sole stockholder of WFOE. As WFOE and Guangdong Xingbang are under common control, the contractual arrangements have been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and the Group’s financial statements were prepared as if the reorganization occurred at the beginning of the first period presented.

 

Share exchange

 

On May 13, 2011, China Xingbang entered into a share exchange agreement with Xingbang BVI and the stockholders of Xingbang BVI in which the stockholders of Xingbang BVI exchanged 100% of the issued share capital of Xingbang BVI, valued at $80,000, for 79,999,000 shares of common stock of China Xingbang. Xingbang BVI became a wholly owned subsidiary of China Xingbang. Prior to the share exchange, the sole stockholder of China Xingbang owned 56.25% of the issued share capital of Xingbang BVI. As both companies are under common control, the share exchange involving China Xingbang and Xingbang BVI is being treated for accounting purposes as a capital transaction and a reorganization of entities under common control with China Xingbang as the accounting acquirer and Xingbang BVI as the accounting acquiree. The consolidated financial statements were prepared as if the reorganization occurred at the beginning of the first period presented.

 

Accordingly, these group financial statements include the following:

 

1. The balance sheets consisting of the net assets of the acquirer and acquiree at historical cost; and
2. The statement of operations including the operations of the acquirer and acquiree for the periods presented.

 

NOTE 4 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The accompanying group financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 include the financial statements of China Xingbang, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Xingbang BVI, Xingbang HK and the WFOE, its contractually controlled affiliate, Guangdong Xingbang, and Xinyu Xingbang which is 50% owned by Guangdong Xingbang and 50% owned by WFOE.

 

All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated group financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the group financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 6 THE EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Management is evaluating the provisions of this statement and has not determined what impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

 

In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 Preparation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under GAAP, continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent.  Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting.  If and when an entity’s liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with Subtopic 205-30, Presentation of Financial Statements—Liquidation Basis of Accounting.  Even when an entity’s liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.  In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendments in this Update should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events.  The amendments in this Accounting Standards Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter.  Early application is permitted.  The Company will evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU, however, management does not believe that it met conditions which would make the Company's financial statements for this period be subject to additional disclosure requirements.

 

All other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

NOTE 8 SEGMENTS

 

The Company operated in three reportable segments, advertising, consulting service and e-commerce in 2013. Since the Company has shifted its focus to e-commerce and discontinued its advertising and consulting service business starting from 2014, there is only one segment in operation in 2014. The Company evaluates segment performance based on income from operations. All inter-company transactions between segments in prior periods have been eliminated on consolidation. As a result, the components of operating income for one segment may not be comparable to another segment.

Overview and Strategy

 

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context requires or is otherwise specified, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar expressions include the following entities (as defined herein):

 

(i)            China Xingbang Industry Group Inc., a Nevada corporation (“China Xingbang”);

 

(ii)           Xing Bang Industry Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Xingbang (“Xingbang BVI”);

 

(iii)          China Group Purchase Alliance Limited, a Hong Kong company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xingbang BVI (“Xingbang HK”);

 

(iv)          Guangzhou Xingbang Information Consulting Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, or the “WFOE”, formed in the People’s Republic of China (“ PRC ”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xingbang HK;

 

(v)           Guangdong Xingbang Industry Information & Media Co. Ltd., our principal operating subsidiary, which is a Chinese variable interest entity that the WFOE controls through certain contractual arrangements (“Guangdong Xingbang”); and

 

(vi)          Xinyu Xingbang Information Industry Co., Ltd., an entity incorporated in the PRC which the WFOE and Guangdong Xingbang each owns 50% of its equity interest, (“Xinyu Xingbang”). Xinyu Xingbang will continue the business of Guangdong Xingbang.

 

Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Xingbang BVI and Xingbang HK, we own the WFOE, which controls Guangdong Xingbang, a variable interest entity (“VIE”), through a series of variable interest entity, or VIE contractual arrangements.  Guangdong Xingbang is currently our source of income and operations.  A summary of our business is described below.

 

We were formed as a Nevada corporation on April 12, 2011 to acquire operational control over Guangdong Xingbang. Since foreign investors are restricted by the laws and regulations of the PRC to operate media and e-commerce business in China, we operate our business through ownership of the WFOE that provides management, consulting, investment and technical services to Guangdong Xingbang. We do not own any direct equity interest in Guangdong Xingbang. In May 2011, the WFOE entered into a series of contractual arrangements which effectively give the WFOE operational control over Guangdong Xingbang despite the lack of direct ownership. As a result of these contractual arrangements, we treat Guangdong Xingbang as a variable interest entity, or VIE, under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and we have included its historical financial results in our consolidated financial statements.

 

Our subsidiaries, Xingbang BVI and Xingbang HK are holding companies which do not have any operations or own any assets except for the ownership of the WFOE.  The only current operation of the WFOE is to provide consulting and management services to Guangdong Xingbang.  Currently, we rely on results of operations of Guangdong Xingbang and Xinyu Xingbang. If the PRC government declares the VIE agreements are not enforceable, we will not be able to exercise effective control over Guangdong Xingbang and consolidate the financial results of Guangdong Xingbang.  In such case, our results of operations and financial position will be materially adversely affected.

 

Guangdong Xingbang was founded in 2005 as a print-media based advertising operator and consulting services provider.  In 2010, we made a significant shift of our business model and began laying the groundwork to transition to the business of operating a home furnishings e-commerce platform, ju51 Online Mall. Since 2012, we have been phasing out our advertising and consulting segments and as of September 30, 2014, our advertising and consulting operations no longer generate any revenue. We are currently in the process of building out our e-commerce platform and, once the platform is fully operational, we expect to derive all of our revenue from this business.

Xinyu Xingbang was incorporated in the PRC in June 2012 for the purpose of continuing the business of Guangdong Xingbang in the near future as Guangdong Xingbang winds down its operations. Pursuant to the Articles of Associations of Xinyu Xingbang, Guangdong Xingbang and the WFOE each invested $787,030 (RMB 5,000,000) in Xinyu Xingbang and each owns 50% of the equity interest of Xinyu Xingbang. Under the Xinyu Xingbang Articles of Association, the WFOE is entitled to appoint the sole director and all members of the management team of Xinyu Xingbang and the WFOE is entitled to receive 99.99% of Xinyu Xingbang’s net profit. Based on the relevant PRC regulations, an Internet Content Provider license, or ICP license, issued by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, is required for Xinyu Xingbang to conduct business as currently contemplated.  In order to be granted the ICP license, foreign investor’s ownership of Xinyu Xingbang cannot exceed 50%. Xinyu Xingbang obtained its ICP license in February 2013. Guangdong Xingbang will gradually wind down its operations and Xinyu Xingbang will carry out Guangdong Xingbang’s business except that Guangdong Xingbang will fulfill its contractual obligations under the existing customer contracts. On June 30, 2012, Guangdong Xingbang granted an exclusive license to Xinyu Xingbang to permit Xinyu Xingbang to use trademark, domain names, intellectual property rights and any know-how Guangdong Xingbang owns for the period from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2022. Guangdong Xingbang also assigned the management right and right to receive revenue from the ju51 Mall to Xinyu Xingbang. Guangdong Xingbang will continue its corporate existence to hold the equity interest in Xinyu Xingbang for the same period.

 

Below is our updated organizational structure after the incorporation of Xinyu Xingbang.

Since 2012, the Company has been shifting its business strategies from being a print media based advertising operator and consulting services provider to an operator of a B2B2C e-commerce platform in the home furnishing industry.

 

We had a publication named “Industry Economy Review” which was published as a supplement to “Shopping Guide”, a nationally circulated newspaper. As of December 31, 2013, we have ceased the production of this newspaper.

 

In addition, we had a significant decrease in consulting business activities as a result of the change of our business model to focus on revamping our e-commerce business.

 

Since 2013, the developments under e-commerce business include:

 

  Develop a B2B2C e-commerce platform, called ju51 Online Shopping Mall (“ju51 Online Mall” or “ju51 Mall”), to be an e-commerce platform to be the significant revenue contributor of our whole business.
     
  Develop an informational online portal, Qiuying, targeting consumers and home furnishing businesses.
     
  Provide searching, directory and other services through “Qiuying” to help home furnishing companies setting up a franchise service platform on Ju51 Mall.
     
  Phasing in other home furnishing sectors, including bathroom supplies, hardware, home textiles, closets, tiles and floor, doors and windows, furniture, home appliances, interior painting and home décor by having dedicated newspaper and dedicated market places in the ju51 Online Mall.

 

We plan to generating e-commerce platform revenue from the following sources in the future:

 

E-Commerce

 

We expect to receive franchise fees from businesses in the home furnishing industry when they open flagship stores in the Ju51 Mall and commissions from manufacturers for their sales through the flagship stores on Ju51 Mall.  We will also generate revenue via Qiuying. Services to be offered on Qiuying include Qiuying search engine, which provides searches for information of potential clients or potential products; Qiuying directory, which helps consumers to navigate the home furnishing stores; and Qiuying software, which automatically transfers consumers’ needs into orders and distribute to store users to save advertising spending. Besides, a mobile application for Qiuying is also developed to offers an additional platform for users to access the data via their mobile phones.  We expect to generate revenues through Qiuying from the following sources: commissions from mobile games developers with the sales of the mobile games via Qiuying platform; commissions from the business transactions occurred through the interface with other major e-commerce platforms; the sales of membership points for the end-users to post their business related information on the Qiuying platform; and income through the advertisements on the mobile application platform.

 

In addition, we also plan to generate revenue from e-commerce platform services through ju51 Online Mall. We intend to provide an extensive e-commerce platform to provide value added services to manufacturers, distributors, retailers, decoration companies, and decoration technicians in the home furnishing industry while serving consumers through the ju51 Mall. “Ju51” sounds similar to the Chinese words of “juwu you,” which means “worry-free living” in Mandarin. When fully constructed, the ju51 Mall is expected to have ten marketplaces targeting ten sectors in the home furnishing industry, including light and lighting, bath and kitchen supplies, hardware, home textiles, residential furniture, office furniture, tiles, floor, doors and windows, home appliances, interior painting and home décor and security monitoring system. Since its launch in August 2011, we have explored different business strategies to try and maximize revenue generation through the ju51 Mall.

  

In the ju51 Mall, the manufacturers open flagship stores where they showcase and sell their products, list prices for products and process orders placed online by consumers. We also have technical service stations (previously named “direct sales stores” prior to February 2012) on our ju51Mall, which are primarily operated by brick-and-mortar retailers and decoration companies which have physical stores. A technical service station acts as a shopping guide and provides product support and services. When a consumer places orders online directly with flagship stores, the technical service station located closest to the consumer will receive the order simultaneously and provide product support and services, such as returns, exchanges, refunds and installation, through its own brick-and-mortar store. The reason for having technical service stations as shopping guides is to address the Chinese consumers’ concern about return or exchange of products ordered online. Generally we only develop one technical service station within a county or a district of a city to protect their economic interest. We currently intend to have the technical service stations act as distributors and promote our services in local markets. Customers may avoid paying the shipping fees by picking up the product at a local technical service station. In addition to technical service stations, we also intend to have decoration technicians to act as shopping guides to help increase sales volume in the ju51 Mall. Xinyu Zhongxing Decoration Technicians Network Company Limited, (“Zhongxing Decoration”), an entity which is 80% owned by Mr. Xiaohong Yao (“Mr. Yao”), our Chairman of the Board, CEO and President, and 20% owned by his spouse, founded a web portal named China Decoration Technician at http://www.zgzxjg.com, which is intended to review and certify decoration technicians. Customers placing orders through the decoration technicians will enjoy special discounts compared to the retail price listed on the ju51 Mall. We also expect to develop different categories of Ju51 Mall memberships where the members will enjoy special discounts in order to promote sales in the ju51 Mall. A technical service station can earn commission as a percentage of the retail price, and the technical service station is related to the e-commerce platform. A decoration technician will also earn commissions, paid by flagship stores, based on a percentage of the amount he or she sells as a shopping guide. Our business model is designed to make sure consumers will receive quality products and services and have a quality shopping experience at the ju51 Mall. We expect the current business model will keep retail prices at the ju51 Mall at a competitive level.

 

We provide a platform for service flagship stores to list their company information and allow customers to reach out to each of them directly. Each business shall pay service charge of RMB2,000 for 2 years of services. As of September 30, 2014, 299 companies have paid the service charge.

As of September 30, 2014, an aggregate of 979 product flagship stores have signed the franchise agreements with us, of which 757 had their physical stores set up and ready to sell their products once the platform is ready, and 11 stores have paid the security deposit. Total number of contracts slightly decreased compared with December 31, 2013 due to some contract cancellations. For agreements signed prior to December 6, 2013, we charge a commission of 11.5% of the total sales for the B2B business and 21.5% of the total sales for B2C business. For agreements signed after December 6, 2013, we charge the commission at a fixed rate of 21.5% of the total sales consummated on the Ju51 Mall. 

 

We have not started any transactions from product flagship stores within the e-commerce platform. No commission has therefore been generated as of September 30, 2014.

 

We have started generating revenue from service flagship stores on our e-commerce platform. We have generated $5,446 and $8,088 revenue from this business during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 respectively. We have made substantial progress in setting up our infrastructure and have established 187  technical service stations as of September 30, 2014.

 

Advertising services within e-commerce revenue

 

We may generate advertising revenue on the e-commerce platform. So far, we have not yet started putting advertisements in the Ju51 Mall as there are still no transactions within the platform during this quarter. We will get paid by businesses in the home furnishing industry who put advertisements in the Ju51 Mall.   Moreover, we plan to develop distinct newspapers for each of these sectors, as well as have a distinct “market place” or “channel” for each such sector in the ju51 Mall.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, we started to promote a Media Integrated Advertising Communication Package at a flat fee, ranging from RMB50,000 to RMB500,000. The services to be provided include corporate press release writing, integrated, industry or local portal press release, classification website news release, Ju51 website platform front page display, Ju51 website “Recommendation” column display, and IT industry channel first screen banner. The service also included advertising services to businesses in the home furnishing industry through various media including Internet, TV, newspaper, periodicals, outdoor media and etc. We entered into a contract with one client in July, and expect to sign up more customers in the fourth quarter of 2014; though there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

In preparing our condensed consolidated group financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the accounting, recognition and disclosure of our assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, revenues and expenses. We make these estimates and assumptions because certain information that we use is dependent upon future events, which cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or cannot be readily calculated based upon generally accepted methodologies. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difficult and therefore require a significant amount of judgment. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions that we use in the preparation of our consolidated group financial statements.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Revenue

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we had total revenue of $20,744, an increase of 29,963.77% compared to the same period in 2013. $5,446 was attributable to revenue generated from service flagship stores within the e-commerce service rendered. $15,298 was attributed to revenue generated from advertising services rendered through Media Integrated Advertising Communication Package within the e-commerce revenue.  During the three months ended September 30, 2013, total revenue was $69. Of this, $35 was attributable to revenue generated from advertising and $34 was attributable to consulting service rendered. The increase of $20,675 was mainly due to decrease in advertising and consulting revenue, offset by increase in e-commerce revenue as a result of the change of our business model to focus on our e-commerce business. The Company has shifted its focus to e-commerce, starting from 2014.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenue has historically been comprised of printing cost, editorial fee, agent fee, salaries of consulting service providers, amortization of website development costs, salaries of website administrators and commission paid to technical service stations. However, due to the shift of business focus, the only cost of revenue in 2014 is the cost related to e-commerce.

  

Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $300,213, compared to $104,963 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $195,250, or approximately 186.02%. The increase was due to the approximate 256.39% increase in the cost of e-commerce revenue, which was $215,975, and the 100% decrease in the cost of advertising and consulting revenue, which were $1,317 and $19,408 respectively. The reason for the decrease in cost of advertising and consulting revenue was due to discontinued operation in the advertising and consulting business.

 

Gross loss

 

Gross loss was $279,469 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $174,575, or approximately 166.43%, compared to a gross loss of $104,894 during the same period in 2013. The increase was mainly due to the increase in cost in the e-commerce business, offset by decrease in cost of advertising and consulting revenue and increase in e-commerce revenue.

 

Operating expenses

 

Operating expenses consist of selling, general and administrative expenses, impairment of website development cost and depreciation.

 

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $1,434,152, composed of $701,247 in selling expenses, $658,020 in general and administrative expenses, and $74,885 in depreciation. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $1,959,777, composed of $357,072 in selling expenses, $1,048,009 in general and administrative expenses, $479,918 in impairment of website development cost, and $74,778 in depreciation. The decrease in operating expenses from the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the nine months ended September 30 2014 was $525,625, or approximately 26.82%, which was mainly due to the increase in information technology expense, offset by decrease in business development expense, impairment of website development cost and rental expense.

 

Other (expenses) income, net

 

Other (expenses) income, net, consists mainly of interest income, other income, other expenses, and gain on disposal of property and equipment.

 

Other expenses, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $402 compared to other income, net of $49,208 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $49,610, or approximately 100.82%. The decrease in other (expenses) income, net, was mainly due to the decrease of other income of $49,895 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss was $904,507 and $553,162 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively. The increase was mainly the result of the decrease in impairment of website development and general and administrative expenses, offset by increase in cost of e-commerce revenue and selling expenses.

 

Other comprehensive loss

 

Other comprehensive loss was $58,058 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Other comprehensive loss was $5,405 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The change of foreign currency translation loss was primarily caused by the fluctuation in the RMB to U.S. dollar exchange rate in 2014 compared to 2013.

Revenue

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we had total revenue of $23,386, an increase of 18.16% compared to the same period in 2013. $8,088 was attributable to revenue generated from service flagship stores within the e-commerce service rendered, and $15,298 was attributed to revenue generated from advertising services rendered through Media Integrated Advertising Communication Package within the e-commerce revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, total revenue was $19,792. Of this, $10,062 was attributable to revenue generated from advertising and $9,730 was attributable to consulting service rendered. The increase of $3,594 was mainly due to increase in e-commerce revenue as a result of the change of our business model to focus on our e-commerce business, offset by decreases in advertising and consulting revenue. The Company has shifted its focus to e-commerce, which is its only source of revenue, starting from 2014.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenue has historically been comprised of printing cost, editorial fee, agent fee, salaries of consulting service providers, amortization of website development costs, salaries of website administrators and commission paid to technical service stations.  However, due to the shift of business focus, the only cost of revenue in 2014 is the cost related to e-commerce.

  

Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $731,019, compared to $400,309 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $330,710, or approximately 82.61%. The increase was due to the approximate 128.28% increase in the cost of e-commerce revenue, which was $410,794, and the 100% decrease in the cost of advertising and consulting revenue, which were $21,154 and $58,930 respectively. The reason for the decrease in cost of advertising and consulting revenue was due to discontinued operation in the advertising and consulting business.

 

Gross loss

 

Gross loss was $707,633 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $327,116, or approximately 85.97%, compared to a gross loss of $380,517 of the same period in 2013. The increase was mainly due to the increase in cost in the e-commerce business, offset by decrease in cost of advertising and consulting revenue and increase in e-commerce revenue.

 

Operating expenses

 

Operating expenses consist of selling, general and administrative expenses, impairment of website development cost and depreciation.

 

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $1,434,152, composed of $701,247 in selling expenses, $658,020 in general and administrative expenses, and $74,885 in depreciation. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $1,959,777, composed of $357,072 in selling expenses, $1,048,009 in general and administrative expenses, $479,918 in impairment of website development cost, and $74,778 in depreciation. The decrease in operating expenses from the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the nine months ended September 30 2014 was $525,625, or approximately 26.82%, which was mainly due to the decrease in impairment of website development cost and general and administrative expenses.

 

Other (expenses) income, net

 

Other (expenses) income, net, consists mainly of interest income, other income, other expenses, and gain on disposal of property and equipment.

 

Other expenses, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $255 compared to other income, net of $48,633 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $48,888, or approximately 100.52%. The decrease in other (expenses) income, net, was mainly due to the decrease of other income of $49,710 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss was $2,142,040 and $2,291,661 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively. The decrease was mainly the result of the decrease in impairment of website development, general and administrative expenses and other income, offset by increase in cost of e-commerce revenue and selling expenses.

 

Other comprehensive income (loss)

 

Other comprehensive income was $42,446 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Other comprehensive loss was $30,365 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The change of foreign currency translation loss was primarily caused by the fluctuation in the RMB to U.S. dollar exchange rate in 2014 compared to 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on hand and demand deposits at banks. We had $249,440 and $284,001 of cash and cash equivalents on hand as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 respectively. There was a decrease of $34,561 in our cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014.

 

This decrease was largely attributable to the combined effect of net cash used in operating activities increased by $2,284,313, payments for purchase of property and equipment increased by $348,741, offset by net advances from its affiliates increased by $2,600,397 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

We require cash for working capital, capital expenditures, repayment of debt, salaries, commissions and related benefits and other operating expenses and income taxes. We expect that our working capital needs will increase for the foreseeable future, as we continue to develop and grow our business. See “Business — General” in our 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014. For cash inflow in the remainder of 2014, we estimate approximately $0.87 million which comes from cash advances from affiliates and cash received from customers. For cash outflow in the remainder of 2014, we estimate approximately $0.86 million for payments of operating expenses and purchases of property, plant and equipment.

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

 

   Nine months ended
September 30,
 
   2014   2013 
Net cash used in operating activities  $(2,284,313)  $(1,678,180)
Net cash used in investing activities  $(345,244)  $(226,805)
Net cash provided by financing activities  $2,600,397   $1,863,768 

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $2,284,313 and $1,678,180 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively. The most significant items affecting the comparison of our operating cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are summarized below:

 

 

Increase in cash loss from operations - Our net loss from operations, excluding depreciation, amortization, impairment of website development cost, and gain on disposal of property and equipment, increased by $439,076 on a period-to-period basis, from cash loss of $1,628,697 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to cash loss of $2,067,773 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Despite the loss which negatively impacted our cash flows from operations, the increase in cash loss from operations was mainly due to decrease in net loss, the increase in depreciation of property and equipment, and the decrease of amortization and impairment of website development cost in the first three quarters in 2014 from the same period of last year.

 

  Increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets - Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased by $193,673 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and decreased by $68,060 for the same period in 2013. Prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of prepaid information technology expenses, rental and other deposits and advances to staff. The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets was mainly due to increase in prepaid information technology expenses.

 

  Decrease in other payables and accrued expenses - Other payables and accrued expenses decreased by $7,569 for the first three quarters in 2014, and decreased by $27,892 for the same period in 2013. Other payables and accrued expenses consisted of other tax payables, accrued expenses, deposits received from customers, other payables, accrued wages and accrued welfare. The decrease in other payables and accrued expenses was the net effect of the decrease in other tax payables, increase in accrued expenses, and increase in deposits received from customers.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. Our investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 used cash of $345,244 and $226,805 respectively.  The increase in cash used in investing activities was largely caused by the increase of $258,920 in purchase of property and equipment, offset by decrease in payments for website development cost of $142,303, on a period-to-period basis.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $2,600,397 and $1,863,768 respectively. The increase was mainly due to the increase in amounts due to related companies of $959,902.

 

Capital Resources

 

We had negative working capital of $6,616,709 as of September 30, 2014 and $4,249,349 as of December 31, 2013 respectively. The reason for the increase in negative working capital from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014 was primarily due to the increase in amounts due to related companies.

 

Under the VIEs’ agreements, Guangdong Xingbang shall pay the WFOE a consulting service fee, payable in RMB each quarter, equivalent to all of its net income for such quarter based on its quarterly financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the PRC. The WFOE then may transfer the cash payment to the offshore holding companies (Xingbang HK, Xingbang BVI and China Xingbang) via dividend payment, after deduction of relevant taxes.  If we obtain funds through financing in the US, Xingbang HK may invest in the WFOE. It is generally prohibited for PRC resident enterprises, including foreign owned entities, to make inter-company loans. However, management believes it is in compliance with the current PRC law for the WFOE to deposit the funds into a PRC bank account and request the PRC bank to lend the funds to Guangdong Xingbang, and may use such means to obtain capital funding in the future.

 

We are a holding company with no significant revenue-generating operations of our own, and thus any cash flows from operations are and will be generated by Guangdong Xingbang through our WFOE’s existing consulting service management arrangement with Guangdong Xingbang. Our ability to service our debt and fund our ongoing operations is dependent on the results of these operations and their ability to provide us with cash. The WFOE’s ability to make loans or pay dividends are restricted under PRC law and may be restricted under the terms of future indebtedness, its governing documents or other agreements. With the cash on hand and the anticipated cash to be received from our operations, we may not be able to generate enough cash to support the expansion of the business operations. However, the Guangdong Xingbang’s Stockholders are committed to provide cash as needed to support the Company’s ongoing operations and continued growth. Therefore, we believe that our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to enable us to meet our cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

 

Nonetheless, our liquidity and capital position could be adversely affected by:

 

  failure to generate sufficient revenue in the e-commerce business;
  the enactment of new laws and regulations;
  our inability to grow our business as we anticipate by expanding our e-commerce business;
  any other changes in the cost structure of our underlying business model; and
  any of the other risks and uncertainties described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Management is evaluating the provisions of this statement and has not determined what impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

 

In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 Preparation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity's liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. If and when an entity's liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with Subtopic 205-30, Presentation of Financial Statements—Liquidation Basis of Accounting. Even when an entity's liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendments in this Update should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. The amendments in this Accounting Standards Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company will evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU, however, at the current time, management does not believe that it has met conditions which would make the Company's financial statements for this period be subject to additional disclosure requirements.

 

All other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

The Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer, reassessed the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2014 and has subsequently determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2014 due to certain material weaknesses, including: (i) a lack of sufficient accounting personnel with appropriate understanding of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements; and (ii) a lack of standard charter of accounts and written accounting manual and closing procedures to facilitate preparation of financial statements under U.S. GAAP for financial reporting processes. As a result of such material weaknesses, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls.

 

Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2014 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

We are currently not a party to any legal proceeding and are not aware of any legal claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. However, from time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. 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.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

There were no issuances of our equity securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

 

Limitations on Our Payment of Dividends

 

We have not paid any cash dividends to date and we do not anticipate or contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. It is the present intention of management to utilize all available funds for the development of our business.

 

In the future, we may be a party to agreements that limit or restrict our ability to pay dividends.

 

In addition, Nevada corporate law prohibits us from making any distribution (including a dividend) on our capital stock at a time when:

 

  we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
     
  our total assets would be less than the sum of (i) our total liabilities plus (ii) the amount that would be needed, if we were to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution (although we presently do not have any stockholders with such preferential rights).

 

WFOE is a wholly-foreign owned enterprise under the laws of the PRC. The principal regulations governing dividend distributions by wholly foreign owned enterprises and Sino-foreign equity joint ventures include:

 

  The Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended;
  The Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise Law Implementing Rules (1990), as amended;
  The Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise Law (1979), as amended; and
  The Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise Law Implementing Rules (1983), as amended.

 

Under these regulations, wholly foreign owned enterprises and sino-foreign equity joint ventures in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Additionally, before paying dividends to their stockholders, these foreign invested enterprises are required to set aside at least 10% of their profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds until the amount of the cumulative total reserve funds reaches 50% of the relevant company’s registered capital. Accordingly, the WFOE is allowed to distribute dividends only after having set aside the required amount of its profits into the reserve funds as required under applicable PRC laws and regulations.
