PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
History
Asia Premium Television Group, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (ASTV, the Company,
we, us, or our) was originally incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 21, 1989
under the name Fulton Ventures, Inc. On July 18, 1990, we changed our name to Triad Warranty
Corporation, Inc., and on May 22, 2000, we changed our name to GTM Holdings, Inc. From 1993 through
May 2001, we did not engage in any business operations.
In June 2001, we acquired American Overseas Investment Co., Ltd. (AOI), a company
incorporated in Macau, a special administrative region (SAR) of the Peoples Republic of China
(PRC or China). With our acquisition of AOI, we began to focus our business on acquiring and
developing companies with the goal of building a broad network of media, marketing and advertising
companies in Greater China. On September 19, 2002, we changed our name to Asia Premium Television
Group, Inc. to more accurately reflect our business.
In December 2002, our subsidiary Asia Premium Television Group, Inc. (ASTV-BVI), a company
organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, was formed.
In July 2004, we completed the acquisition of 100% of Beijing Asia Hongzhi Advertising(BAHA)
(formerly known as Shandong Hongzhi Advertising Company, Ltd.), a company organized under the laws
of China, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Shandong Hongzhi Communications and Career Advertising
Co., Ltd.

Table of Contents
(SHCCA), a company established under the laws of China in April 2003, and Tibet Asia Culture
Media Co., Ltd. (TACM), a company established under the laws of China in April 2004.
In July 2004, we also completed the acquisition of 100% of Beijing Hongzhi Century
Advertising(BHCA) (formerly known as Beijing Youngfu Century Advertising Consultancy Company,
Ltd.), a company organized under the laws of China.
In April 2005, Beijing Asia Qiangshi Media Advertising Co., Ltd. (BAQM) was organized under
the laws of China as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BAHA.
In September 2005, we sold our interests in our subsidiaries AOI and ASTV-BVI to a third
party.
In April 2006, Tibet Hongzhi Advertising Co., Ltd.(THZA) was organized under the laws of
China as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BHCA.
In July 2006, we sold 95% of our interests in our subsidiaries BAQM to a third party and 5% to
a shareholder.
In March 2007, we carried out a reverse-split, where 1,000 shares of Common Stock, either
issued and outstanding or held by the Company as treasury stock, immediately prior to the record
date was reclassified and changed into one fully-paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock.
In July 2007, the Company acquired 100% of Sun New Media Transaction Service Ltd. (SNMTS), a
company incorporated in Hong Kong, and its wholly owned subsidiary China Focus Channel Development
Co., Ltd (CFCD), a company incorporated in Peoples Republic of China, from NextMart Inc. (OTB:
NXMR) with a net book value of $0 at a price of $1.
On November 27, 2007, we filed a Form 8-K announcing that we intend to change our companys
name to P Phone Inc. to reflect our new business segment in the Chinese mobile phone space,
specializing in top-up account payments and other value-added services. We are currently
completing the legal steps necessary to complete the change in the name of our company, including
obtaining the approval of our shareholders and board of directors, and amending our constitutive
documents. Our original intention on filing this Form 8-K was to complete all steps required to
effect the name change in January 2008. While we are actively working to accomplish this goal, our
current expectation is that the name change will be completed sometime prior to March 31, 2008.
Material Developments
On June 19, 2007, Jiang Qiang transferred his shares to Hershop.com Ltd. (BVI) and Global
Women Multi-Media Co., Ltd. (BVI) and no longer owns shares of the company. In connection with the
transfer of the shares, two of our directors, Jiang Qiang and Miao Bulin, resigned from the board
of directors at a board meeting held on June 19, 2007. At the same meeting, Hershop.com Ltd. (BVI)
and Global Women Multi-Media Co., Ltd. (BVI) appointed Xing Jing and Yu Huiyang as members of the
board of directors, and the board appointed Douglas Toth as an independent director.
After the board meeting we filed a form 8-K with further information on these developments.
In July 2007, we purchased Sun New Media Transaction Services Limited and its subsidiary,
China Focus Channel Development Co., Ltd , from NextMart Inc. (OTB: NXMR) for consideration of
$1.00.
On September 9, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Tidetime, Inc. (Tidetime)
pursuant to which the Company exercised its right, under the Registration Rights Agreement entered
into by the parties in 2001, to force the conversion of $916,000 of the aggregate $4.0 million
principal amount of convertible notes (the Convertible Notes) held by
Tidetime, into 596,765 shares of the Companys common stock.
On September 10, 2007, Hershop, Inc. (Hershop) and an investment group consisting of
Professional Offshore Opportunity Fund Ltd., Professional Traders Fund, LLC and First Mirage, Inc.
(the Investment Group) entered into an agreement with Tidetime to purchase all of Tidetimes
equity and debt in the Company for
2
Table of Contents
$372,000. This equity and debt included 243,234 common shares of the Company previously owned
by Tidetime, the 596,765 shares of the Company Timetime received in the mandatory conversion set
forth above, and the balance of the Convertible Notes not previously converted. In addition, upon
the completion of these transactions, Hershop and the Investment Group agreed with the Company to
cancel all of the acquired Convertible Notes with an aggregate principal amount totaling
$3,084,000.
Of the Companys shares acquired, Hershop and the Investment Group received 440,000 and
400,000 shares, respectively. Professional Traders Fund, LLC, Professional Offshore Opportunity
Fund Ltd., and First Mirage Inc. are not affiliated with either Hershop or the Company.
The Company entered into a stock purchase agreement dated July 22, 2007 with certain investors
(the Investors). Under this stock purchase agreement, the Company agreed to issue additional
shares to the Investors if the Company issued more than 500,000 shares when some or all of the
Convertible Notes are converted. Since the Company issued 596,765 shares of common stock to
Tidetime, the Company issued 25,729 new shares to the Investors to maintain the Investors
percentage of ownership in the Company.
Nature Of Business
We operate one business segment providing advertising, media and marketing solutions to
product manufacturers, service providers and other clients located in China. Our comprehensive
products and services range from consumer research and brand management to advertisement
production, media planning, public relations and direct marketing services. We deliver a
comprehensive range of solutions that we believe simplify, improve and maximize the effectiveness
of multiple phases of our customers marketing campaigns, from the inception of an advertising
concept, through design, production and targeted distribution, and ultimately to the measurement of
advertising effectiveness. Our customers may employ anyone of the services we provide individually
or on a combined basis to meet their specific needs.
Additionally, we plan to operate a P Phone business segment in the Chinese mobile phone
space, operating as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) specializing in on-the-fly
debit-card payments and other value-added services. Our products and services in this arena will
include on-the-fly top-up minute sales, on-the-fly payments for other products via debit cards,
specialized SIM card sales, sales of smart films enabling our services on other companies SIM
cards, a value-added Personal Media Service that will provide pictures, video, games and/or other
digital items to our customers at their request, and P Phone branded debit cards. We intend to
derive revenue from this business through these aforementioned sales and services, and supplement
that revenue by delivering advertisements to our customers. Advertisements will be delivered in a
targeted manner based on user behavior gathered through our Personal
Media Service and will include
search keyword ads, directory listing placement, SMS coupon delivery, and other multimedia
advertisements delivered to the handset. Our P Phone branded debit cards will allow for discounts
to be obtained on our products/services and will be backed by a customers pre-existing bank
account through partnerships with those financial institutions.
Our broad range of service offerings can be categorized generally into the following groups:
Advertising, Media, and Marketing Business:
Media consulting services. Our media consulting services consist of developing targeted,
effective marketing strategies to enable our customers to reach their marketing and advertising
objectives. We begin by analyzing a customers product or service and conducting consumer and
market research to develop an understanding of its competitiveness in the marketplace. We then
identify the target audience for a particular product or service and the most effective channels to
reach the targeted audience. Based on this information, we develop and present a marketing and
advertising strategy to customers for approval.
Advertisement production services. Based on the marketing and advertising strategies we have
developed for our customers, or according to our customers own requirements, we develop and
create advertising designs and concepts, and produce advertising materials which can take the form
of film, video, print, or electronic media.
3
Table of Contents
Advertising agent services. We prepare media buying and publishing plans for our customers.
Once a plan is approved, we negotiate and purchase advertising space or air time from broadcasting
media to communicate our customers advertising materials to their targeted audience.
Evaluation services. After our services are rendered, we provide our customers with
third-party reports concerning the publication or broadcasting of their adverting materials that
confirm and summarize the services provided by our customers. We discuss with our customers any
necessary adjustments in connection with our services to maximize the effectiveness of our
customers advertising.
P Phone Business:
Minute top-up services. We plan to provide a minute-top-up service for cell-phone customers.
Customers can buy minutes on the fly using their debit card and a bank account.
Debit card payment services. We plan to provide a method for customers to purchase
merchandise on-the-spot at stores and other locations using their P Phone which is linked to their
debit card.
P Phone branded debit card sales. We plan to partner with financial institutions to sell P
Phone branded debit cards linked to a pre-existing bank account. Customers will receive a discount
on P Phone services when using the card and can use it in the same manner as their original debit
card.
Personal
Media Service. For paying P Phone customers, the fee-for-service will allow for
value-added media, games, and other entertainment items to be delivered to the phone.
Targeted marketing and advertising services. Based partially on personal data gathered
through the Personal Media Service, we will provide targeted advertising services to our P Phone
users on behalf of enterprise clients. These advertising services
will be delivered in four manners:
(1) keyword advertisements for internet searches from P Phone users; (2) payment-for-placement in
directory listings of stores, restaurants, and other services; (3) SMS coupons delivered to the
handset; and (4) multimedia advertisements. Payment for these services will be received in a
combination of payment-per-views (CPM) and payment-per-action (CPA) mechanisms.
Specialized SIM card and smart film sales. Sales of these items, which enable the above
services, are another source of revenue for the P Phone business.
Customers
We believe that we have excellent working relationships with our customers. Some of our major
clients have been using our services for more than seven years, and we continue to add new
customers to our customer base. During the transition period from April 1, 2007 to September 30,
2007, we had one significant advertising customer which accounted for 47% of our total sales. Our
largest customer is Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Co., Ltd. (Yili), a leading company in the
Chinese dairy product industry. Yili is a publicly traded company in China and has been our
customer for more than five years. Another large customer of the Company is Shandong Dong-e E-jiao
Group, a producer of Chinese herbal medicines and health products, which has been our customer for
over eight years.
Competition
The advertising and marketing industry in China is highly competitive. The principal methods
of competition in our business are pricing, quality, flexibility, customer targeting capabilities,
breadth of service, timeliness of delivery, customer service and other value-added services. There
are many advertising agencies in China which represent customers in both local and international
capacities. Our major competitors include Saatchi & Saatchi, McCann-Erickson, Shanghai Leo Burnett,
Beijing Dentsu, Beijing Weilai Advertising, Guangdong Advertising, Shanghai Advertising, Shanghai
Lowe & Partners, Shanghai Hakuhodo, and Beijing Dayu Weiye Advertising.

Table of Contents
We believe we have the ability to compete effectively in this highly competitive industry. We
have been operating in the advertising and marketing sector in China for more than ten years and
are committed to continually enhancing our business to satisfy the needs of our clients and to grow
our revenues. Our advertising and marketing team includes media veterans with international
advertising experience as well as experienced professionals with knowledge and insight in the local
Chinese market. We believe that our integrated team enables us to provide effective and high
quality advertising services that meet international standards and practices, and also cater to the
preferences and needs of the local market.
As
the first MVNO mover in the China market, our P Phone segment will
face competition from a
wide-range of companies engaged in various activities. Our P Phone business segment, including on-the-fly
payment services, specialized SIM card sales, Personal Media Service, targeted advertising services
will compete with other mobile value-added providers.
Intellectual Property
We do not own any patents, trademarks or licenses. We view our companys name and the
reputation associated with our name as an important asset, but has not registered our companys
name as a trademark.
Government Regulations
As an advertising business, we are subject to a variety of rules, regulations and standards
set by the State Administration of Industry and Commerce (SAIC) of the PRC government. We have
been granted a business license to operate as an advertising agency by the Department of
Advertising Regulation of the SAIC and are required to adhere to certain standards in order to keep
our license.
In addition to business taxes, we are required to pay taxes equal to 3% of our sales revenue
as a cultural improvement and enhancement surcharge required by the Chinese government.
Employees
As of December 21, 2007, we had 122 full-time employees in China. The Company and the
employees have entered into one-year labor contracts that are subject to annual renewal.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We are subject to a variety of possible risks that could adversely impact our revenues,
results of operations or financial condition. Some of these risks relate to the industry in which
we operate, while others are particular to us. The following factors set out potential risks we
have identified that could adversely affect us.
The Company is entering into a new P Phone mobile phone-based marketing and advertising business;
however there can be no assurances that it will be successful in
developing this business.
We intend to enter into a mobile phone-based marketing and advertising business. We intend to
change our name to P Phone Inc. to reflect our focus on developing this business as a key source of
future growth. We may encounter difficulties in developing or managing this new business, as the
companys strategy and operating model for the new business have not yet been finalized. The
success of our new business will depend in part on our ability to form alliances with new partners
that are necessary to conduct this business. However, we may not be able to identify these partners
or form alliances with them on acceptable terms, or at all. Further, this business has challenges
that may be different than those faced by the companys traditional businesses. There is a
possibility that we have insufficient expertise to engage in such activities profitably or without
incurring significant amounts of development expenses or risk. Additionally, in developing this
business, our resources may be diverted away from our traditional business, which may adversely
affect our results of operations.
Our advertising and market services segment operates in a highly competitive industry.
The advertising and marketing services industry in China is highly competitive. We face
competition from other Chinese and international advertising agencies and providers of creative or
media services, several of which may have greater financial, sales, marketing and other resources
than we do. A clients perception of the quality of our creative work, as well as the reputations
of the Company and our competitors are important factors in determining our competitive position.
In addition, we face competitions from larger agencies which may have greater ability to serve
advertising clients on a broad geographic basis. Because an agencys principal asset is its people,
there are relatively low barriers to entry into our business. If we are unable to compete
effectively against existing or future competitors, our financial condition and results of
operations may be adversely affected.
Demand for our services may decrease due to a decline in our clients or an industrys financial
condition or due to an economic downturn in the Chinese economy.
We cannot assure you that the demand for our services will continue at current levels. Our
clients demands for our services may change based on their needs and financial condition. In
addition, our business is dependent upon the economy and business environment in China in general.
The growth of the Chinese economy has been uneven across geographic regions and industry sectors.
When economic down turns affect particular clients or industry groups, demand for advertising and
marketing services provided to these clients or industry groups is often adversely affected. There
can be no assurance that economic conditions or the level of demand for our services will improve
or that they will not deteriorate. If there is a period of economic downturn or stagnation, our
business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
We will depend on a few key partners for our P Phone business to compete effectively in the mobile
market.
We will depend on a few key partners to enable us to provide our P Phone service, namely the
China Mobile and Communications Association and its member companies. If for some reason our
partnerships were to experience difficulties, or if our partners choose to terminate our
relationship with them, it would be extremely difficult if not impossible to operate or expand our
P Phone business. Finally, our business is in some ways competitive with businesses operated by
China Mobile and Communications Association and its member companies could choose to start mobile
value-added services competitive to ours, which could create challenges for us to continue to
partner with them successfully.
Mobile phone customers may not adopt our payment services or use our branded debit cards.
Our P Phone payment services will be new to the Chinese market, and will require a debit card
and bank account to operate. Debit cards and bank accounts are not as common in China as they are
in more developed markets. Customers who do not have these cards and/or accounts will be unable to
use our service, which could
6
Table of Contents
limit our ability to grow this business. In addition, customers may choose to pay cash for
their mobile minutes instead of using our top-up services or choose to continue to pay cash for
items instead of using our payment services, each of which could limit our growth.
Our technology systems are subject to breakdown.
As is true with any technology based system in China, our business is subject to hacking,
power outages, natural disasters, and other calamities which would significantly hamper our ability
to operate the systems necessary to keep the P Phone payment system running.
Customers may drop our services on account of our targeted advertising.
We anticipate that our P Phone customers will receive increased advertising on their phone as
a result of using the P Phone (versus competitive cell-phone services). If customers do not like
this advertising, they may choose to drop the P Phone value-added service. If a significant
proportion of our customers make this decision, we may not be able to realize our targeted revenues.
We depend on a few key customers for a substantial majority of our sales and the loss of, or a
significant reduction in orders from, any of them would likely significantly reduce our revenues.
In the transition period from April 1, 2007, to September 30, 2007, two customers accounted
for 47% and 23% of our total sales. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, sales to one customer
accounted for approximately 64% of our total sales. Our operating results in the foreseeable future
will likely continue to depend on sales to this customer and a relatively small number of other
clients. The loss of those customers would cause our revenues to decline. If those customers
experience financial difficulty, it could result in significant reductions in services provided by
us and may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and
liquidity. In addition, our exposure to credit risks with respect to accounts receivable is
concentrated in a few customers. Although we have not experienced any material losses as a result
of our customers default in their payment obligations in the past, we are nevertheless exposed to
significant credit loss in the event of non-performance by any one of our customers in the future.
We seek to mitigate this risk with credit evaluations we perform on our customers and an ongoing
monitoring process we implement with respect to outstanding balances, but we cannot be sure that
this effort will prevent us from experiencing collection problems in the future.
Our cash flows may be insufficient to fund our operations or future business expansion.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from
operations will be sufficient to meet our operational needs for the foreseeable future. However,
our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the rate of market acceptance of our
services and our ability to maintain and expand our customer base, among others. The timing and
amount of our capital requirements cannot be accurately predicted. There can be no assurance that
our operations will generate sufficient cash flows or that we will be able to obtain sufficient
financing on a timely basis or at all or on terms acceptable to us. Any inability to raise funds as
needed may prevent us from implementing future business plans.
We rely on key management personnel.
Our success will depend, in part, on the efforts of our executive officers and other key
employees. The market for qualified personnel is competitive and our future success will depend
upon, among other factors, our ability to attract and retain these key personnel. The loss of the
services of any of our key management personnel or the failure to attract and retain employees
could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition due to
the resulting disruptions in the leadership and continuity of our business relationships.
Hershop Limited, Global Women Multi-Media Co. Ltd., Sun Media Investment Holdings Ltd. and Yang Lan
own a large percentage of our outstanding common shares and may have the ability to influence
matters requiring shareholder approval.
As of December 21, 2007, Hershop Limited, Global Women Multi-Media Co., Ltd., Sun Media
Investment Holdings Ltd. and Yang Lan collectively owned 37.7% of our outstanding common shares.
They are related

parties, and if they chose to act in concert with respect to these shares, could have
significant influence over shareholder actions and may have the ability to control our company and
to direct our affairs, including:
| composition of our board of directors, and, through it, our direction and policies, including the appointment and removal of officers; | ||
| mergers or other business combinations and opportunities involving us; | ||
| further issuance of capital stock or other securities by us; | ||
| our financing activities; | ||
| payment of dividends; and | ||
| approval of our business plans and general business development. |
There can be no assurance that our controlling shareholders will exercise their control in our
best interests.
Chinas legal system is characterized by uncertainty that could negatively impact our business and
results of operations.
While we are incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States, substantially all of our
operations are in China. As such, we are subject to and rely on Chinese law in our daily
operations. The Chinese legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common
law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little value as precedent. Beginning
in 1979, the PRC government promulgated a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing
economic matters, which has had the overall effect of significantly enhancing the protections
afforded to foreign invested enterprises in China. However, these laws, regulations and legal
requirements are relatively new and are evolving rapidly, and their interpretation and enforcement
involve uncertainties. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to foreign
investors. In addition, enforcement of existing laws, or contracts based on existing law, may be
uncertain and sporadic. Furthermore, interpretation of statutes and regulations may be subject to
new government policies reflecting domestic political changes.
Our activities in China are subject to administrative review and approval by the State
Administration of Industry and Commerce of the PRC government. Because of the changes occurring in
Chinas legal and regulatory structure, we may not be able to secure or renew the requisite
governmental approvals for our activities. Failure to obtain or maintain the requisite governmental
approvals for any of our activities could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our independent auditor noted a material weakness relating to the Companys financial
disclosure controls that existed at September 30, 2007.
In its review of our financial statements for the six months periods ended September 30, 2006 and
2007, our independent auditor noted a material weakness as it related to the Companys financial
disclosure controls that existed at September 30, 2007. Specifically, it noted that the Companys
finance manager had not initially accounted for the Sun New Media Transaction Service, Ltd
acquisition and the activity of this company, its subsidiary, China Focus Channel Development Co.,
Ltd or the parent Company Asia Premium Television Group in the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements. After the error was noted, we revised our financial statements to properly
reflect the results of these companies, and the financial statements included herein reflect these
revisions.
Any recurrence of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, or another widespread public health
problem, could negatively impact our business and results of operations.
A renewed outbreak of SARS or another widespread public health problem in China, where
substantially all of our revenue is derived and where our operations are located, could have a
negative effect on our operations. Our operations may be impacted by a number of health-related
factors, including the following:
| quarantines or closures of some of our offices which would severely disrupt our operations; | ||
| the sickness or death of our key officers and employees; and | ||
| a general slowdown in the Chinese economy. |
Any of the foregoing events or other unforeseen consequences of public health problems could
adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Changes in Chinas political and economic policies could negatively impact our business.
As substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China, our results of
operations, financial condition and prospects are subject in a significant degree to the economic,
political and legal developments in China. Although we believe that the economic reform and the
macroeconomic measures adopted by the PRC government have had a positive effect on the economic
development of China, we cannot predict the future direction of these economic reforms or the
effects these measures may have on our business, financial position or results of operations. In
addition, the Chinese economy differs from the economies of most countries belonging to the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD. These differences include:
| economic structure; |
8

| level of government involvement in the economy; | ||
| level of development; | ||
| level of capital reinvestment; | ||
| control of foreign exchange; | ||
| telecommunications laws, including those related to mobile phones; | ||
| methods of allocating resources; and | ||
| balance of payments position. |
As a result of these differences, our business may not develop in the same way or at the same
rate as might be expected if the Chinese economy were similar to those of the OECD member
countries.
Rapidly developing Chinese tax laws could negatively affect our businesses.
On March 16 2007, the Chinese government produced a new set of revised tax laws. In these tax
laws, income tax for companies of our type was reduced from 33% to 25%, resulting in a
corresponding increase in net income for our company. However, given Chinas rapidly changing tax
laws and the difference between national tax policy and local tax policy, we could and likely will
be exposed to other fluctuations in income associated with these taxes, including but not limited
to business taxes, VAT, income taxes, and other taxes.
Restrictions on foreign currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues
effectively.
Any future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to use revenues generated
in Renminbi to make payments in U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. Although the Chinese
government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the Renminbi for
current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain, including primarily the
restriction that foreign invested enterprises may only buy, sell and/or remit foreign currencies at
those banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business after providing valid commercial
documents. In addition, remittance of foreign currencies abroad and conversion of Renminbi for
capital account items, including direct investment and loans, is subject to governmental approval
in China, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for
capital account items. We cannot be certain that the Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose
more stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the Renminbi, especially with respect to
foreign exchange transactions.
Fluctuations in the value of the Renminbi could negatively impact our results of operations.
Our revenues, operating expenses and substantially all of our assets and liabilities are
denominated in Renminbi. Our reporting currency is the U.S dollar. As a result, we are exposed to
foreign exchange risk, and our results of operations may be negatively impacted by fluctuations in
the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Renminbi. A significant depreciation in the Renminbi
against the U.S. dollar will cause a decrease in our net profits, if any, or increases in net
losses we may suffer.
The value of the Renminbi is subject to changes in Chinas governmental policies and to
international economic and political developments. Since January 1, 1994, the PRC government has
used a unitary managed floating rate system. Under this system, the Peoples Bank of China, or
PBOC, publishes a daily base exchange rate with reference primarily to the supply and demand of
Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies in the market during the previous
day. Authorized banks and financial institutions are allowed to quote, buy and sell rates for
Renminbi within a specified band around the central banks daily exchange rate. On July 21, 2005,
PBOC announced an adjustment of the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to Renminbi from 1:8.27 to
1:8.11 and modified the system by which the exchange rates are determined.
The Renminbi is no longer linked to the U.S. currency but rather to a basket of currencies
with a 0.3% margin of fluctuation. However, there remains international pressure on the Chinese
government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy. As of October 10, 2007, the exchange
rate was 7.51 RMB to 1.00 U.S. Dollar. The exchange rate of Renminbi is subject to changes in
Chinas government policies which are, to a large extent, dependent on the economic and political
development both internationally and locally and the demand and supply of Renminbi in the domestic
market. There can be no assurance that such exchange rate will continue to remain stable in the
future amongst the volatility of currencies, globalization and the unstable economies in recent
years.

None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We have entered into three building leases for our offices, two located in Beijing and one in
Tibet. The Beijing facility lease for BAHA and BHCA expires on Dec 31, 2007 and is renewable on an
annual basis. The Beijing facility lease for CFCD is from September 27, 2007 to December 31, 2010.
The Tibet facility lease expires on August 31, 2008. Our subsidiary SHCCA previously occupied
office space in Jinan which we leased from a third party. Following the expiration of our Jinan

November 2005. We believe our current facilities are adequate for the purposes for which they are
currently used and are well maintained. See Note 10 to our audited consolidated financial
statements included in this Annual Report for a further discussion of our lease commitments.

no options had been granted under the 2001 Stock Plan.
Sales of Unregistered Securities
On August 9, 2005, we issued 1,629 shares of our common stock to one of our shareholders in
connection with the settlement and repayment of a loan from the shareholder in the amount of
$30,000 and other amounts owed by us to the shareholder. The market price of our common stock was

issued without registration in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
On September 9, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Tidetime, Inc. (Tidetime)
pursuant to which the Company exercised its right granted in the Registration Rights Agreement
between the parties in 2001, to force the conversion of $916,000 out of the aggregate $4.0 million
principal amount of convertible notes (the Convertible

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section provides a review of our financial condition and results of operation for the six
month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, the years ended March 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007. The
analysis is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, our audited consolidated financial
statements and related notes that are included in this Annual Report.
Revenues
For the six month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, and the fiscal years ended March
31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, we had total revenues in the amount of US$33.1 million, US$28.3 million,
US$48.2 million, US$61.8 million and US$65.7 million, respectively. Our revenues are primarily
derived from the planning and execution of advertising programs in various media. Most of our
client contracts are individually negotiated and accordingly, the terms of client engagements and
the basis on which we earn fees vary significantly.
Revenues for the creation, planning and placement of advertising are primarily determined on a
negotiated fee basis, taking into account prevailing market standards and our costs of production.
Factors affecting our revenues
Our revenues are directly dependent upon our clients needs for advertising, marketing and
corporate communications. Our revenues are driven by our ability to maintain and grow existing
business, as well as to generate new business. Our business is directly affected by economic
conditions in China and in the industries we serve and by the marketing and advertising practices
of our existing and prospective clients. When economic conditions decline, companies generally
reduce advertising and marketing budgets, and it becomes more difficult for us to achieve
profitability. It is a highly competitive industry, which tends to mitigate our pricing power.
Our business strategy includes acquiring ownership stakes in media, advertising and marketing
businesses in Greater China with the goal of continually improving their operations and increasing
their profitability. In July 2004, we acquired two subsidiaries, BAHA and BHCA, which affected our
revenues, expenses, operating income and net income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
Additional information regarding these acquisitions is provided in Note 1 to our audited
consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.
Additionally, our P Phone
business segment is expected to be a primary contributor to revenue
in the next few years, beginning in 2008. We hope to achieve rapid adoption of our services with
corresponding increase to our revenue and profit. Factors affecting this business are wide ranging and include
both the overall Chinese economic condition, the growth of particular products in our product mix,
and the actions of competitors. In particular our revenues will be shaped by
the formation and structure of our key partnerships, including those
with China Mobiles subsidiaries
and partners. Our approach will be to focus on select Chinese
provinces where we hope to achieve high
penetration rates among existing mobile consumers and secure a dominant position in the market.
This vertical approach will enable us to build brand recognition and create diversified revenues of
mobile on-the-fly debit-card based payments, mobile marketing through a common customer base. P Phone
will feature five services and products: (1)Payment Services (resale of China Mobile Usage Minutes
to end consumers), (2)Wireless, Debit-card based Mobile Payment, (3)Personal media and content
services (4) P Phone-branded debit and cash cards; and (5) Mobile marketing and advertising. These
products and services will be the strong driven force of our revenues.
Seasonality
Our revenues are generally subject to key factors that affect the level of advertising
spending in China. In addition to fluctuations in advertising spending relating to general economic
and market conditions, advertising spending is also subject to fluctuations based on the
seasonality of consumer spending. In general, a relatively larger amount of advertising spending is
concentrated on product launches and promotional campaigns prior to the holiday season in December.
In addition, advertising spending generally tends to increase in China during January and February
each year due to the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday.

Table of Contents
Revenue recognition
Depending on the terms of the client contract, fees for the services we perform are primarily
recognized in one of three ways: completion of milestones, straight-line (or monthly basis) or
completed contract. See Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements for a further
discussion of our revenue recognition accounting policies.
Cost of Sales
For the six months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, fiscal years ended March 31, 2005, 2006
and 2007, our cost of sales were US$31.4 million, US$26.5 million, US$45.3 million, US$58.4 million
and US$62.3 million, respectively. Our cost of sales consists primarily of media charges for the
use of media resources, business tax and surcharges and production costs. Media charges we pay with
respect to contracts that we enter into with media suppliers to place our customers advertisements
comprise a majority of our cost of sales. We are the primary obligors under these agreements with
media suppliers, and are responsible for paying for the use of media resources regardless of
whether we receive payment from our clients. The media charges we pay impact our working capital
and operating cash flow, as media suppliers often require partial advance payment for the use of
media resources. We record these payments as prepaid expenses. Once the services are provided by
media suppliers, these prepaid expenses are transferred to our cost of sales. As of September 30,
2007, we had prepaid expenses in the amount of US$3.1 million for media charges.
Our cost of sales is directly related to servicing our clients. Our cost of sales represents a
significant percentage of our revenue. In the six months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, fiscal
years ended March 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007, due to our current operating model our cost of sales
represented 95.0%, 93.3%, 93.9%, 94.5% and 94.8% of our total revenues, respectively, and our
profit margins have historically been low. In the future, we may consider changing our operating
model as discussed in the Plan of Operation section below to increase our profit margins.
Operating Expenses
For the six months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005,
2006 and 2007, our operating expenses were US$1.5 million, US$1.3 million, US$2.6 million, US$2.3
million and US$0.9 million, respectively. Our operating expenses consist of general and
administrative expense, bad debt expense and depreciation. General and administrative expense is
comprised of professional fees, including legal and accounting fees, executive compensation,
operating overhead, entertainment expense and other miscellaneous expenses. Bad debt expense is
accrued when individual accounts receivable show signs of uncollectibility, based on an aging
analysis for receivables over 90 days due on a quarterly basis at the end of each period.
Plan of Operation
We intend to continue to focus on providing advertising, media and marketing solutions to our
customers. We attach great importance to customer satisfaction. We are also focused on developing
new customers to broaden our customer base and to avoid excessive concentration in a limited number
of large customers.
We believe we have sufficient working capital to meet our needs of existing and planned
operations for the next 12 months. We may consider raising additional funds from various sources in
order to further our goal of attracting new customers and increasing our scale of operations, to
further develop a new operating model whereby we distribute air time and advertising space, and to
increase our profitability.
Additionally, we plan to enter the mobile phone services market through our P Phone business
segment. This business will primarily focus on sales of, specialized SIM cards, smart
films, and the associated payment services that will be enabled by this equipment. We believe that
we have sufficient working capital to proceed and have partnered with industry leaders to enable
this effort. We expect changes in our employee count and revenue streams as a result of this focus
shift to occur gradually.

Results of Operations
Six Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2006
Total Revenues. Our total revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2007 decreased by
14.23% to US$28.3 million as compared to US$33.1 million for the six months ended September 30,
2006. This was primarily due to decreased revenue from our largest customer during the six months
ended September 30, 2007.
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales decreased by 15.74% during the six months ended September 30,
2007 to US$26.5 million as compared to US$31.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2006.
This decrease in our cost of sales resulted from the 14.23% decrease in our revenues and a slight
increase in gross margin during the six months ended September 30, 2007.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit for the six months ended September 30, 2007 increased by 14.49%
to US$1.9 million as compared to US$1.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2006. Our
gross profit margin ratio increased slightly from 5.00% for the six months ended September 30, 2006
to 6.67% for the six months ended September 30, 2007. During the six months ended September 30,
2007, we focus on changing our customer structure and allocating more resources to high margin
businesses and reducing our reliance on a few major customers. This was the reason why we had less
revenue but higher gross profit and margin.
Total Expenses. Our total expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2007 were US$1.3
million, which consisted primarily of general and administrative expenses of US$1.0 million, and a
bad debt expense of US$0.2 million. This represented a decrease of 13.12% from our total expenses
of US$1.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2006, which was primarily the result of a
decrease in bad debt expense by US$0.5 million and an increase in general and administration
expense by US$0.3 million from 2006 to 2007.
Income Before Income Taxes. Our income before income taxes was US$0.6 million for the six
months ended September 30, 2007 compared to US$0.2 million for the six months ended September 30,
2006.
Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, our net income increased by 177.13% to US$0.5
million for the six months ended September 30, 2007 from US$0.2 million for the six months ended
September 30, 2006. Income tax expense increased from US$0.03 to US$0.2 million mainly due to an adjustment for
TACM which related to a prior year when the income was not tax exempt for a period of time
stipulated by the local government.

Total Revenues. Our total revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 increased by 6.38%
to US$65.7 million as compared to US$61.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. This
was primarily due to increased revenues from the addition of new customers throughout the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2007.
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales increased by 6.64% during the fiscal year ended March 31,
2007 to US$62.3 million as compared to US$58.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.
This increase in our cost of sales corresponded with the 6.38% increase in our revenues for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
Gross Profit. As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit for the fiscal year ended March
31, 2007 increased by 1.76% to US$3.5 million as compared to US$3.4 million for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2006. Our gross profit margin ratio decreased slightly from 5.49% for the year
ended March 31, 2006 to 5.25% for the year ended March 31, 2007.
Total Expenses. Our total expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 were US$0.9
million which consists primarily of general and administrative expenses of US$1.5 million, and a
bad debt recovery of US$0.7 million. This represented a decrease of 58.82% from our total expenses
of US$2.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, which was primarily the result of an
increase in bad debt recovery by US$0.6 million from 2006 to 2007 and a decrease in general and
administrative expenses in the amount of US$0.7 million from 2006 to 2007. The increase in bad-debt
recovery for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 was mainly due to a decrease in average aging of
our accounts receivable as a result of increased efforts expended on debt collection. The decrease
in general and administrative expenses corresponded with our effort to control expenses for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
Income Before Income Taxes. Our income before income taxes was US$2.6 million for the year
ended March 31, 2007 compared to US$1.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.
Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, our net income increased by 129.75% to US$2.6
million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 from US$1.1 million for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2006.
Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2006 Compared to Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2005
Total Revenues. Our total revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 increased by
28.13% to US$61.8 million as compared to US$48.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
This was primarily due to significantly increased revenues from our largest customer as well as the
addition of new customers throughout the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales increased by 28.97% during the fiscal year ended March 31,
2006 to US$58.4 million as compared to US$45.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.
This increase in our cost of sales corresponded with the 28.13% increase in our revenues for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.
Gross Profit. As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit for the fiscal year ended March
31, 2006 increased by 15.13% to US$3.3 million as compared to US$2.9 million for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2005. Our gross profit margin ratio decreased slightly from 6.11% for the year
ended March 31, 2005 to 5.49% for the year ended March 31, 2006.
Total Expenses. Our total expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 were US$2.3
million which consists primarily of general and administrative expenses of US$2.2 million. This
represented a decrease of 11.53% from our total expenses of US$2.6 million for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2005, which was the combined result of a decrease in bad debt expenses by US$0.7
million from 2005 to 2006 which was partially offset by an increase in general administrative
expenses in the amount of US$0.4 million from 2005 to 2006. The decrease in bad-debt expense for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 was mainly due to a decrease in average aging of our accounts
receivable as a result of increased efforts expended on debt collection. The increase in general
and administrative expenses corresponded with our increase in revenues for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2006.

In September
2007, the Company forced the conversion of US$916,000 of the

million principal amount of the convertible notes into 596,765 shares of the Companys common stock
and cancelled all the remaining Convertible Notes with an aggregate principal amount totaling
US$3,084,000 according to the agreement with Hershop and the Investment Group. These transactions
increased the liquidity of the Company and made the Companys financial status much healthier by
turning shareholders equity from deficit to positive value.

30, 2007, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of US$1.8 million during the six

ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.
Our net cash provided by operating activities increased to US$2.1 million for the fiscal year

September 30, 2007, as compared to net cash used by financing activities of US$0.02 million during

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements
We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the
payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative
contracts that are indexed to our own shares and classified as shareholders equity, or that are
not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or
contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit,
liquidity or market risk support to such entity. Moreover, we do not have any variable interest in
any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us
or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial
statements included in this Annual Report. We prepare our financial statements in conformity with
U.S. GAAP, which requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial
reporting period. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting
process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require
higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. We consider the policies discussed
below to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements as their application places
the most significant demands on our managements judgment.
Revenue Recognition
We rely on SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin: No. 101 Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements(SAB 101) to recognize our revenue. SAB 101 states that revenue generally is realized
or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the sellers
price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.
We provide advertising agent, media consulting and advertising production services. These
services can either be (1) bundled together, in one or more combinations, in a single contract, or
(2) provided independently pursuant to separate contracts. Revenue recognition is dependent on the
type of service provided to the customer: (a) for advertising agent services, we recognize revenue
at the end of each month in which the services were provided; (b) for both media consulting and
advertising production services, we recognize revenue upon the achievement of particular milestones
set forth in the contract.
When two or more services are bundled together in a single contract, the recognition of
revenue related to one deliverable is not contingent upon the provision of service or milestone
achievement of any subsequent deliverable. We follow EITF00-21 for recognizing revenues in
instances involving the delivery or performance of multiple deliverables.
We may be required to provide a refund to a customer in the event of non-delivery of a service
by us if the customer does not otherwise extend the delivery deadline, accept substitute service,
or choose another alternative as set forth in the contract. However, we are not required to refund
any portions of amounts previously received and for which services have been rendered because
subsequent deliverables are not provided. At no point do we recognize any revenue when there is a
possibility of having to refund anything to the customer.
We report our revenue on a gross basis under the guidance of EITF 99-19, as (1) we are the
primary obligor under contracts with our suppliers and have the risks and rewards of a principal in
these transactions; (2) we have latitude in establishing the price for services under our
advertising contracts, and the net amount earned by us varies with each contract; (3) we are
primarily responsible for the fulfillment of services ordered by the
20
Table of Contents
customer pursuant to the contract, including the portion of the services performed by the
media supplier with whom we separately contract; and(4) we have discretion in supplier selection.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes, as described in Note 9 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this
Annual Report. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that
we believe is more likely than not to be realized. In the event we were to determine that we would
be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their recorded amount, an
adjustment to our deferred tax assets would increase our income in the period such determination
was made. Likewise, if we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net
deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to our deferred tax assets would be charged to our
income in the period such determination is made. We record income tax expense on our taxable income
using the balance sheet liability method at the effective rate applicable in China in our
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
In
September 2007, the Company paid US$155,138 as income tax for the period from January
to April 2006. The payment was made as a result of a change in the
government income tax policy. Prior to such change, the Company did
not have income tax liabilities during the period from January until
April 2006. Following the change in policy, the Company became liable
to payment in income tax and made the required payment. As it was not
an error of accounting records or a change in the Companys
accounting policy, but rather a government policy change, we recorded
it in the current year as income tax expense.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our primary exposure to market risks relate to interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
Interest rates
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our debt
obligations. As of September 30, 2007, we had an outstanding note payable in the amount of
US$32,026 which is subject to a variable interest rate, and two short-term loans in the amount of
US$400,320 and $266,880, which are subject to a monthly interest at the rate of 0.69225% and
0.6825%, respectively. We do not anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in
market interest rates.
Foreign exchange rates
Substantially all our revenues and expenses are denominated in Renminbi, which are translated
to U.S. dollars as our reporting currency for our financial statements. As such, our primary
foreign exchange risk is to changes in the value of the Renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar. See
Item 3A. Risk Factors Fluctuations in the value of the Renminbi could negatively impact our
results of operations. We do not engage in any hedging activities, and as such, we may in the
future experience economic loss or gain as a result of any foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations.
The following chart indicates the net foreign exchange gain/loss we recognized in the periods
indicated.

Reference is made to the Index to the audited consolidated financial statements on Page F-1
for our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and supplementary schedules.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
We reported on Form 8-K that we had dismissed our independent accountants, Pritchett, Siler &
Hardy, LLC (PSH) on May 26, 2005. During the two most recent years there was no adverse opinion
or disclaimer of opinion, or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles
contained in the accountants report on our financial statements. There were no disagreements with
PSH on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, auditing
scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PSH, would have
caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements. Our board of
directors approved the dismissal of PSH as our independent accountants.
We engaged HJ& Associates, LLC as our companys independent accountants effective as of May
26, 2005.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Finance Manager,
carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure, controls and procedures (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(3) and 15-d-15(3) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered
by this Annual Report (the Evaluation Date). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and Finance Manager concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure, controls and
procedures are effective, providing them with material information relating to our company as
required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act on a timely basis.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, known to our Chief
Executive Officer or Finance Manager, that occurred during the period covered by this report that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
In
its audit of our financial statements for the six months periods ended September 30, 2006
and 2007, our independent auditor noted a material weakness relating to the Companys financial
disclosure controls that existed at September 30, 2007. Specifically, it noted that the Companys
finance manager had not initially accounted for the Sun New Media Transaction Service, Ltd
acquisition and the activity of this company, its subsidiary, China Focus Channel Development Co.,
Ltd or the parent Company Asia Premium Television Group in the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements. After the error was noted, we revised our financial statements to properly
reflect the results of these companies, and the financial statements included herein reflect these
revisions.
We have reviewed our financial disclosure controls and implemented appropriate procedures that
assure similar errors do not recur in future periods. In addition, to further the Companys
efforts to continually improve its internal controls and financial reporting processes, the Company
is currently discussing the appointment of a senior financial officer that would serve as the
Companys chief financial officer, which process it hopes to complete in the first quarter of 2008.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Related party transactions
On September 20, 2007, the Company entered into a one-year loan agreement with CEC Unit Plc.
(CECU), a related party of the Company, with the principal amount of $201,161 used as the
Companys operating capital at an interest rate of 6% per year. The loan was paid off in full on
October 28, 2007. Mr. Jing Xing, member of our board of directors, also serves as the Chief
Financial Officer of CECU.
Policies and procedures for review and approval of related party transactions
We do not have a formal policy and related procedures for the review, approval and ratification of
transactions that are required to be reported pursuant to this Item 13. If and when any such
transactions have been proposed, they have been reviewed by our board of directors. The approval of
the chairman and at least one director is required to ratify any transaction. Our board intends to
approve only those related party transactions that have fair terms at market rate and are in our
best interests. We expect to continue this policy in the future.
Net income guarantees
In connection with our acquisition of BAHA which we finalized in July 2004, three of our
shareholders, Qiang Jiang, Xiuying Chang and Feng Wang, guaranteed that the net income of BAHA
would be no less than US$1.5 million for each of the two years ending on the first and second
anniversary of the completion date of the acquisition. These shareholders agreed that in the event
that BAHA failed to generate the guaranteed net income,
26
Table of Contents
the shareholders would contribute an amount equal to the difference between the guaranteed net
amount and BAHAs actual net income.
In connection with our acquisition of BHCA which we completed in July 2004, two of our
shareholders, Qiang Jiang and Xiaojing Zheng, guaranteed that the net income of BHCA would be not
less than RMB$8.0 million (approximately US$1.0 million) for each of the two years ending on the
first and second anniversary of the completion date of the acquisition. These shareholders agreed
that in the event that BHCA failed to generate the guaranteed net income, the shareholders would
contribute an amount equal to the difference between the guaranteed net amount and BHCAs actual
net income.
By the terms of the agreements, the above guarantees expire on July 8, 2006. Due to significant
changes in the fair value of ASTV following our acquisition of BAHA and BHCA, the Company signed
two supplementary agreements with the correlative three and the two shareholders respectively to
cancel the net income guarantee terms with the approval of board of directors on July 8, 2006.
Anti-dilution agreement
On October 21, 2002, we entered into an anti-dilution agreement (the Anti-Dilution Agreement)
with William Fisher, our former President, which required us to issue additional shares of our
common stock to Mr. Fisher as and when necessary to enable him to maintain a 7% ownership in our
company. On December 15, 2003(effective November 4, 2003), we extended the agreement indefinitely
so long as Mr. Fisher did not voluntarily sell shares of common stock to cause his ownership
interest in our company to fall below 7%, among other conditions. This agreement was cancelled
pursuant to satisfaction of the terms of a general release agreement we entered into with Mr.
Fisher in June 2005.
General releases and Loan settlement agreement
On June 28, 2005, we entered into a general release agreement with Mr. Fisher and Hong Kong Pride
Investment Ltd. (HKPI), a company controlled by Mr. Fisher, pursuant to which Mr. Fisher and HKPI
agreed to release and discharge us from all obligations under the Anti-Dilution Agreement and waive
all claims against us for past due salary or compensation, among other things, upon receipt of
payment in the amount of US$20,000.
On June 28, 2005, we also entered into a general release agreement with Stanley Roy Goss, our
former Chief Financial Officer, and AOI, pursuant to which Mr. Goss and AOI agreed to release all
claims against us for past due salary or compensation, among other things, upon receipt of payment
in the amount of US$10,000.
In July 2005, we entered into a loan settlement agreement (the Loan Settlement Agreement) with
Zheng (Bruno) Wu, one of our shareholders, pursuant to which Mr. Wu agreed to loan us US$30,000,
which was to be repaid by the issuance of our shares to Mr. Wu, and to accept repayment for a
previous loan to us in the amount of US$27,027 in the form of additional shares. On August 9, 2005,
pursuant to the Loan Settlement Agreement, we issued 1,629 shares of our common stock, valued at
the market price of $35 per share, to Mr. Wu as repayment for the loans in the amount of US$30,000
and US$27,027.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Asia Premium Television Group, Inc.

Asia Premium Television Group, Inc.
Beijing, China
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Asia Premium Television Group, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of September 30, 2007, March 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated
statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders equity (deficit) and cash flows for the
six months ended September 30, 2007 and each of the three years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and
2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provided a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Asia Premium Television Group, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of September 30, 2007, March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2007 and each of the three years ended
March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Fiscal Year change
On November 14, 2007, our Board of Directors approved a change in our financial year-end
from March 31 to September 30. This 10-K covers the transition period from April 1, 2007
to September 30, 2007. The new 2008 Fiscal Year will begin on October 1, 2007.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Parent, BAHA, BHCA, SHCCA,
TACM, AOI, APTV-BVI, BAQM, THZA, SNMTS and CFCD (the Company). All inter-company
balances and transactions between Parent and subsidiaries have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The Company had a March 31 year end before November, 2007, and a September 30 year end
thereafter, while the subsidiaries have statutory December 31 year ends. The
subsidiaries have been audited on March 31 or September 30 year ends to match the parent.
Reclassification
The financial statements for periods and years prior to September 30, 2007 have been
reclassified to conform to the headings and classifications used in the September 30,
2007 financial statements.
Minority Interests
Under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China, a Chinese company with limited
liabilities must have no less than two shareholders. Small minority interests exist in
BHCA, SHCCA and THZA because of this requirement. However, the Company has agreements
with those individuals to hold these interests only on behalf of the Company. In
substance, the Company controls all of the rights of the minority interest shareholders,
and the holders of minority interests in BHCA, SHCCA and THZA have no economic interests
in these subsidiaries, therefore the Company has accounted for the subsidiaries as being
wholly-owned.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimated by management.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at the expected realizable value. The provision for bad
debt losses is estimated by management based on individual accounts receivable which show
signs of uncollectibility and an ageing analysis for receivables of over 90 days at the
end of each quarter. (See Note 2)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments
that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized, upon being placed
in service. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
of the assets, which is three to five years (See Note 4). In accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets, the Company periodically reviews their property and equipment for
impairment.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This statement
requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes (See Note 9).
Earnings Per Share
The Company accounts for earnings per share in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which requires the Company
to present basic income per share and dilutive income per share (See Note 14).
Foreign Currency Translation Policy
The translations of the functional currency financial statements of subsidiaries into
United States reporting currency dollars are performed for assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars using the closing exchange rates in
effect at the balance sheet dates. For revenues and expenses, the average exchange rate
during the years was used to translate China Renminbi into U.S. dollars. The gains or
losses resulting from translation are included in stockholders equity (deficit)
separately as other comprehensive income.
Gains and losses resulting from transactions in foreign currencies are included in the
determination of net income (loss) for the period.
BAHA, BHCA, SHCCA, TACM, BAQM THZA and CFCDs functional currency is the China Renminbi
(RMB). AOIs functional currency is the Macau SAR Pataca (MOP). APTV-BVI and SNMTSs
functional currency is the Hong Kong SAR Dollar (HKD).

Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (Revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123(R)) Share-Based
Payment, which replaces SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and
supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. In adoption of
SFAS No. 123(R), the Company recognizes compensation costs related to share-based payment
transactions in the financial statements based on the fair value of the equity or
liability instruments issued over the period that an employee provides service in
exchange for the award. The Company also re-measures liability awards at the end of each
reporting period. Stock issued to non-employees is valued based on the fair value of the
services received or the fair value of the stock given up.

Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.
Revenue Recognition Policy
The Company relies on SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin: No. 101Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements (SAB 101) to recognize its revenue. SAB 101 states that revenue
generally is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are
met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or
services have been rendered, (3) the sellers price to the buyer is fixed or
determinable, and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.
The Company provides advertising agent, media consulting and advertising production
services. These services can either be (1) bundled together, in one or more combinations,
in a single contract, or (2) provided independently pursuant to separate contracts.
Revenue recognition is dependent on the type of service provided to the customer: (1) for
advertising agent services, the Company recognizes revenue at the end of each month in
which the services were provided; (2) for both media consulting and advertising
production services, the Company recognizes revenue upon the achievement of particular
milestones set forth in the contract.
When two or more services are bundled together in a single contract, the recognition of
revenue related to one deliverable is not contingent upon the provision of service or
milestone achievement of any subsequent deliverable. The Company follows EITF 00-21 for
recognizing revenues in instances involving the delivery or performance of multiple
deliverables.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Revenue Recognition Policy (Continued)
The Company may be required to refund the customer in the event of non-delivery of a
service by the Company and if the customer does not otherwise extend the delivery
deadline, accept substitute service, or choose another alternative as set forth in the
contract. However, the Company is not required to refund any portions of amounts
previously received because subsequent deliverables were not provided. At no point does
the Company recognize any revenue when there is a possibility of having to refund
anything to the customer.
The Company reports its revenue on a gross basis under the guidance of EITF 99-19, as (1)
the Company is the primary obligor under the contracts with its suppliers and has the
risks and rewards of a principal in these transactions; (2) the Company has latitude in
establishing the price for services under its advertising contracts, and the net amount
earned by the Company varies with each contract; (3) the Company is primarily responsible
for the fulfillment of services ordered by the customer pursuant to the contract,
including the portion of the services performed by the supplier with whom the Company
separately contracts; (4) the Company has discretion in supplier selection.
Advertising expenses
Advertising expenses, which generally represent the cost of promotions to create or

United States operations
The

carryforwards of $586,236 which may be applied against future taxable income. The
deferred tax assets, which consist of net operating losses, equal
approximately $87,935
for the years ended September 30, 2007. The amount of and ultimate realization of the
benefits from the operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in
part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company and other future
events, the effects of which cannot be determined. Because of the uncertainty surrounding
the realization of the loss carryforwards the Company has established a valuation
allowance equal to the tax effect of the deferred tax assets at September 30, 2007,
therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized. The change in the valuation
allowance is $27,988 for the six months ended September 30, 2007.

NOTE 12 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operational Agreements
The Company routinely enters into various consulting arrangements as part of their
operations primarily related to marketing communication and brand promotion services to
customers from industries such as real estate, banking, and cosmetics.
Net Income Guarantee
In connection with the acquisition of BAHA by Parent, three shareholders guaranteed
that the profit of BAHA. should be no less than US$1.5 million for each of the two
years ending on the first and second anniversary of the completion date of the
acquisition. In the event that BAHA. does not generate the guaranteed net income, the
shareholders have agreed to contribute an amount equal to the difference.
In connection with the acquisition of BHCA by Parent, two shareholders guaranteed that
the profit of BHCA should be no less than RMB$8 million, approximately US$1 million for
each of the two years ending on the first and second anniversary of the completion date
of the acquisition. In the event that BHCA do not generate the guaranteed net income,
the shareholders have agreed to contribute an amount equal to the difference.
By the terms of the agreements, the above guarantees expire on July 8, 2006. Due to
significant changes in the fair value of ASTV following our acquisition of BAHA and BHCA,
the Company signed two supplementary agreements with the correlative three and the two
shareholders respectively to cancel the net income guarantee terms with the approval of
board of directors on July 8, 2006.
Anti-Dilution Agreement
A shareholder previously received an anti-dilution agreement for a period of one year.
For any issuances of common stock by the Company, the shareholder was to receive an
issuance of common stock sufficient to maintain a seven percent (7%) ownership in the
Company. The Company has made various issuances as part of the anti-dilution agreement.
On December 15, 2003 (effective November 4, 2003) the Company extended the agreement
indefinitely for as long as the shareholder does not voluntarily sell shares of common
stock that causes its percentage ownership to fall below seven percent (7%), or as
defined and agreed in cases of major acquisitions by the Company in which all parties may
waive their rights under the anti-dilution agreement. In August 2005, the Company
finalized general release agreements with the shareholders and a former
officers/directors. The agreements state that the Company pays $30,000 and they agreed to
cancel the above anti-dilution agreement and also settled accrued salary of $81,571.
The Company entered into a shareholder loan settlement agreement of $30,000 from a
shareholder to finalize the general release agreement in July 2005. On August 9, 2005,
1,629 shares of common stock was issued to the shareholder to repay the $30,000 loan and
previous $27,027 payables owed according to the shareholder loan settlement agreement at
the market price of $35 per share.
