1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION GOING CONCERN
These financial statements of Sitoa Global Inc. (the Company), www.sitoaglobal.com, have been prepared on a going-concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
The Company has experienced losses since commencement of operations amounting to $34,517,183 and has negative working capital and a stockholders deficit as of September 30, 2011, which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to meet its commitments as they become payable is dependent on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing or achieving a profitable level of operations. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these goals.
The Company has recently launched Chunjie365, www.chunjie365.com, a social e-commerce site in China focused on consumer and corporate online customers looking to purchase both U.S. specialty products and Chinese gift items that are rare and unique. It is still developing ShopShipUSA, www.shopshipusa.com, a social e-commerce site focused on Filipino online shoppers looking to purchase branded U.S. or European luxury items. Per a Revenue Interest Agreement that the company entered into with Sitoa Corporation (Sitoa Corp), the company also receives 100% of the revenues and service fees that Sitoa Corp has a right to receive under a Master Services Agreement, by and between Sitoa Corp and Sonsi, Inc., www.sonsi.lanebryant.com, which hosts a social e-commerce site focused on women sizes 12 and up in the US. Furthermore, the Company assists Soconison Technology Ventures and its portfolio companies in developing and maintaining business-to-consumer ("B2C") e-commerce marketplaces, including ZBL Cybermarketing, Inc., Google's largest Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) provider in Northern China.
These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to the amounts and classifications to assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
We have prepared the unaudited condensed financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) for interim periods. The unaudited condensed financial statements included herein reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of our management, necessary to state fairly the results of operations and financial position for the periods presented. The results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 or for any interim or future period.
These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments
with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.
F-4
SITOA GLOBAL INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets are carried at cost less a
provision for depreciation on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives. Estimated useful life of the computer equipment is 3 years.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Companys
consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles of the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate
outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information
available when the financial statements are prepared. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
LOSS PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share of common
stock is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss)
per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period,
including vested and unvested stock options that are in the money.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Companys financial
instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, interest payable, shareholder
loans and other current liabilities. The carrying values of financial
instruments reflected in these financial statements approximate their fair
values due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.
REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
On August 4, 2011, we effected a
one-for-twenty reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock. As a result
of the reverse stock split every twenty shares of our common stock were
converted into one share of our common stock. Immediately after the reverse
stock split we had 22,901,912 shares of our common stock outstanding. All share
and per share related amounts in this report have been restated to reflect the
reverse split.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue from
providing hosting and integration services and licensing the use of its
technology platform to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue when all of
the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an
arrangement; (2) the service has been provided to the customer (for licensing,
revenue is recognized when the Companys technology is used to provide hosting
and integration services); (3) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is
fixed or determinable; and (4) the collection of fees is probable.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There were various other
accounting standards and interpretations recently issued, none of which is
expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position,
operations or cash flows.

As consideration for the Revenue Interest, the Company has agreed to provide 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock to Sitoa Corp, payable upon execution of the agreement. Each of the Company and Sitoa Corp has the right to elect at any time to convert the Revenue Interest into a full assignment of the Master Services Agreement.
4. STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The fair value of the options granted in June 2011 was estimated at a value of $0.46 per share. These estimates were made using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model assuming volatility of 135%, risk-free interest rate of 2.03%, dividend rate of 0%, expected life of 5 years.
As of September 30, 2011, total compensation cost related to unvested stock-based awards granted to employees, but not yet recognized, was $1,447,917, net of estimated forfeitures. This cost will be amortized on a straight line basis over a weighted average remaining period of 4.5 years and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures. Future option grants will increase the amount of compensation expense that will be recorded.
Options outstanding as of September 30, 2011 vested as follows:
Weighted | |||||

7. SHAREHOLDER LOANS
The loans from one shareholder in the aggregate amount of $40,000 as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 do not bear interest.
8. CONCENTRATION OF CUSTOMERS
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we earned 87% of our service revenue from Soconison and 13% of our service revenue from Sonsi Inc. We will seek to diversify our revenue sources from our new marketplaces Chunjie365 and ShopShipUSA but there is no guarantee that these marketplaces will produce revenues.

Overview
The Company develops, integrates and hosts B2C (business-to-consumer) social e-commerce sites, referred to as Focused Social Marketplaces, as a turnkey solution for its customers. Focused Social Marketplaces can aggregate hundreds of enterprise and microsellers and enable them to drop ship tens of thousands of products purchased online. The Focused Social Marketplace platform can be customized to the specific needs of a targeted community of online customers and can be localized to particular geographic areas. The platform also allows online customers to congregate, share and experience niche community sites.
The Company has recently launched its bi-lingual Focused Social Marketplace in China. Chunjie365, www.chunjie365.com, which is a social e-commerce site in China focused on consumer and corporate online customers seeking to purchase both U.S. specialty products and Chinese gift items that are rare and unique. Chunjie365 has partnered with several U.S. and Asian specialty products producers and has made more than 300 gift items available on its site. Additionally, Chunjie365 has structured strategic relationships with several market leaders including Alibaba.coms Alipay system, iMedias QQ mobile advertising platform and Zibolans Baidu and Google keywords program. Alibaba is the largest B2B (Business-to-business) site in China as well as the owner of Taobao.com which is the leader in Chinas C2C (Consumer-to-consumer) and B2C (Business-to-consumer) websites. QQ, owned by Tencent.com, is the largest instant messaging platform in China with over 400 million registered users. Zibolan is the number one ranked keyword reseller in Northern China for Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG).
The Companys second social e-commerce site ShopShipUSA, www.shopshipusa.com, is focused on Filipino online shoppers looking to purchase branded U.S. or European luxury items. ShopShipUSA is still in development but utilizes the Companys Focused Social Marketplace platform.
Pursuant to a strategic partnership agreement with Soconison Technology Ventures, or Soconison, the Company also utilizes its Focused Social Marketplace platform to assist Soconison and its portfolio companies in developing and maintaining e-commerce marketplaces, including ZBL Cybermarketing, Inc., Google's largest Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) provider in Northern China.
The Companys revenues are generated from one-time integration fees in connection with such online marketplaces, as well as ongoing hosting fees. Pursuant to a Revenue Interest Agreement, dated July 1, 2011, between the Company and Sitoa Corp, the Company also receives 100% of the revenues and service fees that Sitoa Corp has a right to receive under a Master Services Agreement, by and between Sitoa Corp and Sonsi, Inc., www.sonsi.lanebryant.com, which hosts a social e-commerce site focused on women sizes 12 and up in the US.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our registered independent auditors for the year ended December 31, 2010 have issued a going concern opinion as per our most recent Form 10-K. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next 12 months unless we obtain additional capital or generate revenues to pay our bills. Potential sources of revenues are our online marketplaces Chunjie365 and ShopShipUSA, which are still in the early stages of business development, our strategic partnership with Soconison Technology Ventures, and revenues from Sonsi Inc. Our other source for cash at this time is investments by others in the Company. We need to raise cash to fully implement our projects and stay in business.
3
On September 30, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $360,355 compared with a working capital deficit of $235,919 on December 31, 2010. The increase is due to payment of current liabilities. Operating activities used $543,886 in cash in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 used zero. Financing activities provided $349,300 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
We may not have enough working capital to complete our plan of operations. If it turns out that we have not raised enough capital to complete our anticipated business development, we will try to raise additional funds from private placements or loans. There is no assurance that we will raise additional capital in the future or that future financings will be available to us on acceptable terms. If we require additional capital and are unable to raise it, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
Revenue Recognition
We earned revenue from providing hosting and integration services to Soconison and Sonsi Inc. For Soconison, we have been developing three e-commerce sites using our Focused Social Marketplace platform and integrating their back-end infrastructure to external hosted servers. We charge Soconison monthly minimum integration and hosting fees per e-commerce site plus additional professional hourly fees for project management and consulting.

As a smaller reporting company (as defined by §229.10(f)(1)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our companys disclosure controls and procedures. Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and concluded that (i) there continues to be material weaknesses in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting, that the weaknesses constitute a deficiency and that this deficiency could result in misstatements of the foregoing accounts and disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to the financial statements for the periods covered by this report that would not be detected, and (ii) accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2011.
The deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures are related to: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) inadequate review and oversight of the period-end financial reporting process; and (4) lack of back-up of financial data.
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
1. |
We plan to create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and plan to increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us; | |
2. |
We plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us; and | |
3. |
We plan to implement more rigorous procedures for back-up and retention of financial data. |
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
