NOTE
REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements that constitute "forward-looking
statements." These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of
predictive, future-tense or forward-looking terminology like "believes,"
"anticipates," "expects," "estimates," "may," or similar terms. These statements
appear in a number of places in this annual report and include statements
regarding the Company’s intent, belief or current expectations and those of its
directors or officers with respect to, among other things:(i) trends affecting
its financial condition or results of operations, (ii) its business and growth
strategies, and (iii) its financing plans. You are cautioned that
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve
significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of
various factors. Factors that could adversely affect actual results and
performance include, among others, the Company’s need for additional capital,
its history of losses, the intense competition the Company faces in its
business, the fact that its stock is a “penny stock” and the other material
risks described under “Risk Factors”. The accompanying information contained in
this annual report, including, without limitation, the information set forth
under the heading "Item 1. Business" identifies important additional
factors that could materially adversely affect actual results and performance.
You are urged to carefully consider these factors. All forward-looking
statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
foregoing cautionary statement.

Overview
The
Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on May 3, 1989
as Sparta Ventures Corp. and remained inactive until June 27,
1998. The name of the Company was changed to Thermal Ablation
Technologies Corporation on October 8, 1998 and then to Poker.com, Inc. on
August 10, 1999. On September 15, 2003, the Company changed its name
to LegalPlay Entertainment Inc. and on November 8, 2006, the name of the Company
was changed to Synthenol Inc.
Effective
November 3, 2008, the Company merged with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary,
SinoCubate, Inc., which remained the surviving entity of the
merger. SinoCubate was formed in the State of Nevada on September 11,
2008. The merger resulted in a change of name of the Company from
Synthenol, Inc. to SinoCubate, Inc. and a change in the state of incorporation
of the Company from Florida to Nevada.
Business
The
Company’s business from 1999 through December 31, 2003 was primarily related to
the operations of online gaming. In 2004, the Company discontinued
the online gaming operations and redirected its business strategy to acquisition
and marketing of new poker software to on-line gaming websites
worldwide. The Company’s current business plan consists of exploring
opportunities to enter into a contractual arrangement with an entity that
enables the Company to either purchase outright the assets and/or business
operations of such entity or to enter into business arrangements, such as joint
ventures or similar combinations with such entity in order to manage and operate
such entity.
On
December 19, 2009, Viking Investments, LLC, an entity controlled and managed by
Tom Simeo, the Company’s chairman, chief executive officer and president,
announced a strategic partnership with Viking, whereby Viking, in exchange for a
fee, and SinoCubate will work together and assist various business entities in the
Peoples Republic of China or the PRC in their endeavors to become
publicly listed companies in the United States. In connection with
the strategic agreement, the Company was to newly issue 4,750,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock to Viking in exchange for One Hundred Thousand
(100,000) shares of common stock
of Renhuang
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. or Renhuang owned by Viking, and newly issue
15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Viking in
exchange for entry into the strategic partnership agreement. In
connection with the foregoing transactions, Philip Wan and Yung Kong Chin were
appointed directors and officers of the Company and were each granted warrants
to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of
$0.26 per share exercisable in whole or in part at any time during the 3 years
after issuance. Effective, March 26, 2010, the parties elected to
terminate the strategic partnership agreement and the directors and officers
appointed thereby, Messrs. Wan and Chin, resigned as directors and officers of
the Company and agreed not to exercise their warrants to purchase the Company’s
shares. The Company has subsequently cancelled the
warrants. No shares were issued to Viking and neither the Company nor
Viking has monetary or other demand on the other related to the
cancellation.
As of the date of this Report, the
Company has not entered into an agreement with any entity and there can be no
assurance that the Company will ever be able to identify and enter into an
agreement with an entity or whether, if the Company successful enters into an
agreement with a suitable entity, such combination may become successful and/or
profitable.
2
Item
1A. Risk Factors
There
are several material risks associated with the Company. You should carefully
consider the risks and uncertainties described below, which all constitute
material risks relating to the Company. If any of the following risks are
realized, the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition
could be harmed. This means investors could lose all or a part of their
investment.
Conflicts of
Interest
Certain
conflicts of interest may exist between the Company and its sole officer and
director and its principal shareholder, Viking. The Company’s sole officer and
director, Tom Simeo is also the principal of Viking and has other business
interests to which he devotes his attention, and he may devote only limited time
to the business of the Company. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise
that can be resolved only through exercise of such judgment as is consistent
with fiduciary duties to the Company. See “Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions.”
Need
for Additional Financing
The
Company currently has little or no funds and the lack of funds may negatively
impact the Company’s ability to pursue it business strategy of seeking to
acquire or enter into contractual arrangements with an entity to either
acquire such entity or to enter into a contract arrangement that will enable the
Company to manage such an entity. Even if the Company’s funds prove to be
sufficient to acquire an interest in, or complete a transaction with, an entity,
the Company may not have enough capital to exploit the opportunity. The ultimate
success of the Company may depend upon its ability to raise additional capital.
The Company may investigate the availability, source, or terms that might govern
the acquisition of additional capital but will not do so until it determines a
need for additional financing. If additional capital is needed, there is no
assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that
they can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. If not available, the
Company’s operations will be limited to those that can be financed with its
modest capital.
Regulation
of Penny Stocks
The
Company’s securities may be subject to a SEC rule that imposes special sales
practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons
other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the
rule, the phrase “accredited investors” means, in general terms, institutions
with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess
of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when
combined with a spouse’s income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by
the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction
prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of
broker-dealers to sell the Company’s securities and also may affect the ability
of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might
develop.
In
addition, the SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks.” Such
rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and
15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or the Exchange Act.
Because the securities of the Company may constitute “penny stocks” within the
meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to the Company and to its
securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell
the securities of the Company in any market that might develop for
them.
Shareholders
should be aware that, according to SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered
in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i)
control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are
often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through
prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press
releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics
and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive
and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
(v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers
after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting
inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor
losses.
Lack
of Operating History
The
majority interest in the Company was purchased in August 2008 for the purpose of
seeking a business opportunity. Due to the special risks inherent in the
investigation, acquisition, or involvement in a new business opportunity, the
Company must be regarded as a new or start-up venture with all of the unforeseen
costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which such ventures are
subject.
3
No
Assurance of Success or Profitability
There is
no assurance that the Company will be able to acquire or consummate a favorable
business opportunity. Even if the Company should become involved in a business
opportunity, there is no assurance that it will generate revenues or profits, or
that the market price of the Company’s common stock will be increased
thereby.
Possible
Business – Not Identified and Highly Risky
The
Company has not identified and has no commitments to enter into or acquire a
specific business opportunity and therefore can only disclose the risks and
hazards of a business or opportunity that it may enter into in only a general
manner, and cannot disclose the risks and hazards of any specific business or
opportunity that it may enter into. An investor can expect a potential business
opportunity to be quite risky. The Company’s acquisition of or participation in
a business opportunity will likely be highly illiquid and could result in a
total loss of investment to the Company and its stockholders if the business or
opportunity proves to be unsuccessful. See Item 1 “Business.”
Type
of Business Acquired
The type
of business to be acquired may be one that desires to avoid effecting its own
public offering and the accompanying expense, delays, uncertainties, and federal
and state requirements which purport to protect investors. Because of the
Company’s limited capital, it is more likely than not that any acquisition by
the Company will involve other parties whose primary interest is the acquisition
of control of a publicly traded company. Moreover, any business opportunity
acquired may be currently unprofitable or present other negative
factors.
Impracticality
of Exhaustive Investigation
The
Company has limited or no funds and, this, coupled with the lack of full-time
management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and
exhaustive investigation and analysis of a business opportunity before the
Company commits its capital or other resources to such venture. Decisions will
therefore likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent
analysis, market surveys and the like which, if the Company had more funds
available to it, would be desirable. The Company will be particularly dependent
in making decisions upon information provided by the promoter, owner, sponsor,
or others associated with the business opportunity seeking the Company’s
participation. A significant portion of the Company’s available funds may be
expended for investigative expenses and other expenses related to preliminary
aspects of completing an acquisition transaction, whether or not any business
opportunity investigated is eventually acquired.
Lack
of Diversification
Because
of the limited financial resources that the Company has, it is unlikely that the
Company will be able to diversify its acquisitions or operations. The Company’s
probable inability to diversify its activities into more than one area will
subject the Company to economic fluctuations within a particular business or
industry and therefore increase the risks associated with the Company’s
operations.
Reliance
upon Financial Statements
The
Company generally will require audited financial statements from companies that
it proposes to acquire or to which it seeks to enter into a contractual
arrangement. In cases where no audited financials are available, the
Company will have to rely upon interim period unaudited information received
from a target company’s management that has not been verified by outside
auditors. The lack of the type of independent verification which audited
financial statements would provide increases the risk that the Company, in
evaluating an acquisition or contractual arrangement with such a target company,
will not have the benefit of full and accurate information about the financial
condition and recent interim operating history of the target company. This risk
increases the prospect that the acquisition of or the contractual arrangement
with such a company might prove to be an unfavorable one for the Company or the
holders of the Company’s securities.
4
Moreover,
the Company will be subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, and
thus will be required to furnish certain information about significant
acquisitions or contractual arrangements, including audited financial statements
for any business that it acquires or with which it enters into a contractual
arrangement for control. Consequently, prospects that do not have, or are unable
to provide reasonable assurances that they will be able to obtain, the required
audited statements would not be considered by the Company to be appropriate for
an acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are
applicable. Should the Company, during the time it remains subject to the
reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, complete an acquisition or enters into
a contract for control of an entity for which audited financial statements prove
to be unobtainable, the Company would be exposed to enforcement actions by the
SEC and to corresponding administrative sanctions, including permanent
injunctions against the Company and its management. The legal and other costs of
defending an SEC enforcement action would have material, adverse consequences
for the Company and its business. The imposition of administrative sanctions
would subject the Company to further adverse consequences. In addition, the lack
of audited financial statements would prevent the securities of the Company from
becoming eligible for listing on NASDAQ, or on any existing stock
exchange.
Moreover,
the lack of such financial statements is likely to discourage broker-dealers
from becoming or continuing to serve as market makers in the securities of the
Company. Without audited financial statements, the Company would almost
certainly be unable to offer securities under a registration statement pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Act, and the ability of the
Company to raise capital would be significantly limited until such financial
statements were to become available.
Other
Regulation
An
acquisition or a contractual arrangement for control of an entity made by the
Company may be of a business that is subject to rules and regulation by federal,
state, local or foreign authorities. Compliance with such rules and regulations
can be expected to be a time-consuming, expensive process and may limit other
opportunities of the Company.
Limited
Participation of Management
The
Company is heavily dependent upon the skills, talents, and abilities of its sole
officer and director, Mr. Simeo, who currently serves on a very limited-time
basis, to manage and implement its business plan.
Lack
of Continuity in Management
The
Company does not have any employment agreements with its sole officer, Mr.
Simeo, and as a result, there is no assurance Mr. Simeo will continue to be
associated with the Company in the future. In connection with acquisition of a
business opportunity, it is likely that Mr. Simeo may resign as an officer and
director of the Company subject to compliance with Section 14f of the Exchange
Act. A decision to resign will be based upon the identity of the business
opportunity and the nature of the transaction, and is likely to occur without
the vote or consent of the stockholders of the Company.
No
Independent Audit Committee
The
Company does not have an independent Audit Committee of its Board of Directors.
The entire Board of Directors functions as the Company’s Audit Committee. The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended or the SOX and rules and regulations
adopted by the SEC to implement the SOX impose certain standards on listed
companies relative to the maintenance and operations of Board of Directors Audit
Committees, including but not limited to the requirement that Audit Committees
be appointed, that membership of such committees comprise only independent
directors, that a financial professional be among the membership of such
committee and that such committee be afforded an adequate operating budget and
be able to employ independent professional advisors. The SOX also requires that
the Audit Committee oversee the work of a company’s outside auditors and that
the outside auditors be responsible to the Audit Committee. At this time, the
Company is not in compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as
they relate to independent Board of Directors Audit Committees. The Company
believes that under rules and regulations adopted by the SEC to implement these
provisions of the SOX it is not required to comply with its requirements
relating to the appointment of an Audit Committee of its Board of Directors and
conforming with the enumerated standards and guidelines because the Company is
not a “Listed Company” as defined therein. Notwithstanding, the Company may
ultimately be determined not to be in compliance therewith and may therefore
face penalties and restrictions on its operations until it comes into full
compliance. Additionally, the Company’s failure to comply with the provisions of
the SOX could preclude it from being listed on NASDAQ or any other stock
exchanges until it can show that it is in compliance. The Company’s failure to
be in compliance with the SOX could also present an impediment to a potential
business combination where the target company intends that the Company apply for
listing on NASDAQ or any other applicable stock exchanges.
5
Indemnification
of Officers and Directors
Nevada
statutes provide for the indemnification of the Company’s directors, officers,
employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and
other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party
arising from their association with or activities on behalf of the Company. The
Company will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of its directors,
officers, employees, or agents, upon such person’s promise to repay the Company
if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled
to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial
expenditures by the Company which it may be unable to recoup.
Dependence
upon Outside Advisors
To
supplement the Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders, the
Company may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers,
attorneys, or other consultants or advisors. The selection of any such advisors
will be made by the Company without any input from stockholders. Furthermore, it
is anticipated that such persons may be engaged on an “as needed” basis without
a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to the Company. In the event the
Company considers it necessary to hire outside advisors, such persons may be
affiliates of the Company, if they are able to provide the required
services.
Competition
The
search for potentially profitable business opportunities of the type sought by
the Company is intensely competitive. The Company expects to be at a
disadvantage when competing with many firms that have substantially greater
financial and management resources and capabilities than the Company. These
competitive conditions will exist in any industry in which the Company may
become interested.
No
Foreseeable Dividends
The
Company has not paid dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate
paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.
Loss
of Control by Present Management and Shareholders
The
Company may consider an acquisition in which the Company would issue as
consideration for the business opportunity to be acquired an amount of the
Company’s authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance,
represent the great majority of the voting power and equity of the Company. The
result of such an acquisition would be that the acquired company’s stockholders
and management would control the Company, and the Company’s Board of Directors
and management could be replaced by persons unknown at this time. Such a merger
would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of the Company by its
current shareholders.
6
Rule
144 Sales
The
majority of the outstanding shares of common stock held by present stockholders
are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities
Act. As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an
effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other
applicable exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and as required
under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 in general requires restricted
securities to be held for a particular length of time, and prescribes the
conditions which must be satisfied prior to the sale of the
securities. Under new amendments to Rule 144, if an issuer of
securities, such as the Company, has been subject to reporting requirements of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days, then the
restricted securities of such issuer are subject to a six-month holding
period. Under the amendments, a non-affiliate that has held
restricted securities of a reporting issuer for more than six months but less
than one year can resell the securities in reliance on Rule 144, if current
information is available for the issuer. After one year, the
non-affiliate may freely resell the restricted securities without regard to any
Rule 144 condition. A non-affiliate of a non-reporting issuer must
hold the securities for one year before any public resale. After one
year, a non-affiliate may freely resell such securities without regard to Rule
144 conditions. Under the new amendments, Rule 144 is not available
for the resale of securities initially issued by a shell company (reporting or
non-reporting) or a former shell company unless certain conditions detailed
under Rule 144 are met. A sale under Rule 144 or under any exemption
from the Securities Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of
shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect
upon the price of the Company’s common stock.
Other
Information

SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
document includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended or the Reform
Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact
are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities
laws, including, but not limited to, any projections of earning, revenue or
other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of
management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new
services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions of
performance; and statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions
underlying any of the foregoing. Such forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause
the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others,
the following: the Company’s ability to raise capital and the terms thereof; and
other factors referenced in the Form 10-K.
The use
in this Form 10-K of such words as “believes”, “plans”, “anticipates”,
“expects”, “intends”, and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such
statements. These forward-looking statements present the Company’s estimates and
assumptions only as of the date of this report. Except for the
Company’s ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by the
federal securities laws, the Company does not intend, and undertakes no
obligation, to update any forward-looking statements.
Although
the Company believes that the expectations reflected in any of the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ
materially from those projected or assumed or any of the Company’s
forward-looking statements. The Company’s future financial condition
and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are
subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties.
PLAN
OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The
Company’s business plan is to seek, investigate, and, if warranted, enter into
contractual arrangements with entities that enables the Company to either
purchase outright the assets and and/or business operations of such entities or
to enter into business arrangements, such as joint ventures or similar
combinations with such entities to manage and operate such entities as
affiliated entities of the Company.
As of the
date of this Report, the Company has not entered into an agreement with any such
entity and there can be no assurance that the Company will ever be able to
identify and enter into an agreement with an entity or whether, if the Company
successful enters into an agreement with an entity, such combination may become
successful and/or profitable.
The
Company is in immediate need of further working capital and options are being
explored with respect to financing in the form of debt, equity or a combination
thereof.
Investigation
and Selection of Business Opportunities
To a
large extent, a decision to participate in a specific contractual arrangement
may be made upon the analysis of the quality of the other company’s management
and personnel, the anticipated acceptability of new products or marketing
concepts, the merit of technological changes, the perceived benefit the Company
will derive from entering into such an arrangement, and numerous other factors
which are difficult, if not impossible, to analyze through the application of
any objective criteria. In many instances, it is anticipated that the historical
operations of a specific business opportunity may not necessarily be indicative
of the potential for the future because of the possible need to access capital,
shift marketing approaches substantially, expand significantly, change product
emphasis, change or substantially augment management, or make other changes. The
Company will be dependent upon the owners of a business opportunity to identify
any such problems which may exist and to implement, or be primarily responsible
for the implementation of, required changes. Because the Company may participate
in a business opportunity with a newly organized firm or with a firm which is
entering a new phase of growth, it should be emphasized that the Company will
incur further risks, because management in many instances will not have proved
its abilities or effectiveness, the eventual market for such company’s products
or services will likely not be established, and such company may not be
profitable when acquired.
9
It is
emphasized that the Company may effect transactions having a potentially adverse
impact upon the Company’s shareholders pursuant to the authority and discretion
of the Company’s management and board of directors without submitting any
proposal to the stockholders for their consideration. Holders of the Company’s
securities should not anticipate that the Company will necessarily furnish such
holders, prior to any contractual arrangement or combination, with financial
statements, or any other documentation, concerning a target company or its
business. In some instances, however, a proposed arrangement may be submitted to
the stockholders for their consideration, either voluntarily by such directors
to seek the stockholders’ advice and consent or because federal and/or state law
so requires.
The
Company is unable to predict when it may participate in a business opportunity.
Prior to making a decision to participate in a business opportunity, the Company
will generally request that it be provided with written materials regarding the
business opportunity containing such items as a description of products,
services and company history; management resumes; financial information;
available projections, with related assumptions upon which they are based; an
explanation of proprietary products and services; evidence of existing patents,
trademarks, or services marks, or rights thereto; present and proposed forms of
compensation to management; a description of transactions between such company
and its affiliates during relevant periods; a description of present and
required facilities; an analysis of risks and competitive conditions; a
financial plan of operation and estimated capital requirements; audited
financial statements, or if they are not available, unaudited financial
statements, together with reasonable assurances that audited financial
statements would be able to be produced within a reasonable period of time
following completion of a merger transaction; and other information deemed
relevant.
As part
of the Company’s investigation, the Company’s officers may meet personally with
management and key personnel of the target entity may visit and inspect material
facilities, obtain independent analysis or verification of certain information
provided, check references of management and key personnel, and take other
reasonable investigative measures, to the extent of the Company’s limited
financial resources.
There are
no loan arrangements or arrangements for any financing whatsoever relating to
any business opportunities currently available.
Going Concern
Qualification
The
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability
to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary
financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal
business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan
in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to
obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances;
however there is no assurance of additional funding being
available.
Results
of Operations
Year
ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year ended December 31, 2008
General
Description
The
Company’s business strategy is to seek to enter into contractual arrangements
with entities that enables the Company to either purchase outright the assets
and/or business operations of such entities or to enter into business
arrangements, such as joint ventures or similar combinations with such entities
to manage and operate such entities.
General and Administrative
Operating Expenses
The total
general and administrative operating expenses for the Company were $52,024 in fiscal 2009, compared
to $147,325 in fiscal 2008. The decrease was primarily due to no management and
consultant fees in relation to the Company’s operations and no interest on notes
payment in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008.

Company incurred a net loss of $52,024 for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2009 as compared with net income of $79,122 for the fiscal year ended

realization of gains on debt forgiveness in 2008.

and Capital Resources

December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had no working capital. At
December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had no cash
holding. The Company is in immediate need of further working capital
and it may consider options with respect to financing in the form of debt,
equity or a combination thereof.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements

Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,
liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an
investor in the Company’s securities.

SINOCUBATE,

AUDITED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2009
REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
SinoCubate,
Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of SinoCubate, Inc. (the “Company”) as
at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations,
comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ deficiency for the
years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We did not
audit the financial statements of the Company from the date of inception to
December 31, 2007, which statements reflect cumulative total assets of $66,273
and cumulative expenses of $1,057,305 for the period from inception to December
31, 2007. Those statements were audited by another auditor whose
report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the
cumulative financial information from inception of the development stage on
January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2007, is based solely on the report of the other
auditor.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditor, these
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the period from inception of the development
stage on January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2009 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The
Company is not required to have nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s
internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 1 to the financial
statements, the Company is a development stage company and has no established
source of revenues. These conditions raise substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as going concern. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.

Financial Statements and Going Concern
Assumption
|
These
audited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that
the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for
its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially
different from carrying values as shown and these audited financial statements
do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values
and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2009, the Company has
accumulated losses of $2,335,661 since its inception and expects to incur
further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to
obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities
arising from normal business operations when they come
due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern
but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity
financing and/or related party advances; however there is no assurance of
additional funding being available.
Note

|
Nature of
business
|
Since
November 2008, the Company has sought to enter into contractual arrangements
with entities that allows the Company to either purchase outright the assets
and/or business operations of such entities or to enter into business
arrangements, such as joint ventures or similar combinations with such entities
to manage and operate such entities. The Company is a development
stage company as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification, or
FASB ASC 915, “Development Stage Entities.”
The
Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on May 3, 1989
as Sparta Ventures Corp. and remained inactive until June 27,
1998. The name of the Company was changed to Thermal Ablation
Technologies Corporation on October 8, 1998 and then to Poker.com, Inc. on
August 10, 1999. On September 15, 2003, the Company changed its name
to LegalPlay Entertainment Inc. and on November 8, 2006, the name of the Company
was changed to Synthenol Inc. Effective November 3, 2008, the Company
merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary, SinoCubate, Inc., which remained
the surviving entity of the merger. SinoCubate was formed in the
State of Nevada on September 11, 2008. The merger resulted in a
change of name of the Company from Synthenol Inc. to SinoCubate, Inc. and a
change in the state of incorporation of the Company from Florida to
Nevada.
On
December 19, 2009, Viking Investments, LLC, an entity controlled and managed by
Tom Simeo, the Company’s chairman, chief executive officer and president,
announced a strategic partnership with Viking, whereby Viking, in exchange for a
fee, and SinoCubate will work together and assist various business entities in the
Peoples Republic of China or the PRC in their endeavors to become
publicly listed companies in the United States . In connection with
the strategic agreement, the Company was to newly issue 4,750,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock to Viking in exchange for One Hundred Thousand
(100,000) shares of common stock
of Renhuang
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. or Renhuang owned by Viking, and newly issue
15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Viking in
exchange for entry into the strategic partnership agreement. In
connection with the foregoing transactions, Philip Wan and Yung Kong Chin were
appointed directors and officers of the Company and were each granted warrants
to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of
$0.26 per share exercisable in whole or in part at any time during the 3
years after issuance. Effective, March 26, 2010, the parties elected
to terminate the strategic partnership agreement and the directors and officers
appointed thereby, Messrs. Wan and Chin, resigned as directors and officers of
the Company and agreed not to exercise their warrants to purchase the Company’s
shares. The Company has subsequently cancelled the warrants. No
shares were issued to Viking and neither the Company nor Viking has monetary or
other demand on the other related to the cancellation.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2009 and 2008

date of this Report, the Company has not entered into an agreement with any
entity and there can be no assurance that the Company will ever be able to
identify and enter into an agreement with an entity or whether, if the Company
successful enters into an agreement with a suitable entity, such combination may
become successful and/or profitable.

Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
|
a)
|
Basis
of Presentation
|
The
financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP
and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December
31.
b)
|
Use
of Estimates
|
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and
timing of revenues and expenses, the reported amounts and classification of
assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The
Company’s actual results could vary materially from management’s estimates and
assumptions. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate
to the determination expected tax rates for future income tax recoveries and the
warrants.
c)
|
Other
Comprehensive Income
|
FASB ASC
220 “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display
of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. For
the fiscal years ended December, 2009 and 2008, comprehensive income
(loss) was ($52,024) and $73,909, respectively.
d)
|
Income
Taxes
|
The
Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes
pursuant to FASB ASC 740 "Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
e)
|
Stock-Based
Compensation
|
The
Company may issue stock options to employees and stock options or warrants to
non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing
costs. The
Company has adopted ASC Topic 718 (formerly SFAS 123R), “Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation”, which establishes a fair value method of accounting
for stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with guidance now incorporated
in ASC Topic 718, the cost of stock options and warrants issued to employees and
non-employees is measured on the grant date based on the fair value. The fair
value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The resulting
amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which
the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting
period.
The fair
value of stock warrants was determined at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option model requires
management to make various estimates and assumptions, including expected term,
expected volatility, risk-free rate, and dividend yield. The expected term
represents the period of time that stock-based compensation awards granted are
expected to be outstanding and is estimated based on considerations including
the vesting period, contractual term and anticipated employee exercise patterns.
Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s
stock. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in relation
to the contractual life of stock-based compensation instrument. The dividend
yield assumption is based on historical patterns and future expectations for the
Company dividends.
Assumption
used to estimate the fair value of stock warrants on the granted date are as
follows:

f) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) launched its Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC or the Codification), the single source of nongovernmental
authoritative generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(U.S. GAAP), and was effective for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009. The Codification is a reorganization of U.S. GAAP into a
topical format that eliminates the previous U.S. GAAP hierarchy. References to
accounting standards in this Form 10-K refer to the relevant ASC topic. As the
Codification was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it did not
impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash
flows.
In April
2009, the FASB issued three accounting standard updates which were intended to
provide additional application guidance and enhanced disclosures regarding fair
value measurements and impairments of securities. The first update, as codified
in ASC 820-10-65, provides additional guidelines for estimating fair value in
accordance with fair value accounting. The second update, as codified in ASC
320-10-65 established a new model for measuring other-than-temporary impairments
for debt securities, including establishing criteria for when t recognize a
write-down through earnings. The third accounting update, as codified in ASC
825-10-65, increases the frequency of fair value disclosures. These updates were
effective for fiscal year and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. There
was no impact to the Company’s financial statements as a result of the adoption
of these standards.
F-10
In the
second quarter of 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard for
subsequent events, as codified in ASC 855-10. The updated modifies the names of
the two types of subsequent events either as recognized subsequent events
(previously referred to in practice as Type I subsequent events) or
non-recognized subsequent events (previously referred to in practice as Type II
subsequent events). In addition, the standard modifies the definition of
subsequent events to refer to events or transactions that occur after the
balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued (for public
entities) or available to be issued (for nonpublic entities). The update did not
result in significant changes in the practice of subsequent event disclosures,
and therefore the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial
condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
In
February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Event (Topic 855) which
removed the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which
subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial
statements. The Company has adopted the amendment and did not disclose the date
through which subsequent events have been evaluated.
In
October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-13
Revenue Recognition (ASC 605):
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangement, which changes the requirements
for establishing separate units of accounting in a multiple element arrangement
and requires the allocation of arrangement consideration to each deliverable
based on the relative selling price. The selling price for each deliverable is
based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available, third-party
evidence if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price if neither VSOE or
third-party evidence is available. ASU 2009-13 is effective for revenue
arrangements entered into in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.
The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU No. 2010-01 to have a material
effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued new standards in the ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures. These standard required new disclosures on the amount and
reason for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements. The
standards also require disclosure of activities, including purchases, sales,
issuances, and settlements within the Level 3 fair value measurements. The
standards also clarifies existing disclosure requirements on levels of
disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The new
disclosures regarding Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and clarification of
existing disclosures are effective for the Company beginning with its first
interim filing in 2010. The disclosures about the rollforward of information in
Level 3 are required for the Company with its first interim filing in 2011. The
Company does not expect the provisions of ASU No. 2010-01 to have a material
effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01, Equity (ASC 505): Accounting
for distributions to
Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB
Emerging Issues Task Force). This amendment to ASC 505 clarifies the stock
portion of a distribution to shareholders that allow them to elect to receive
cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that will be distributed is not
a stock dividend for purposes of applying ASC 505 and 260. Effective for interim
and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would be applied on
a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU No.
2010-01 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of
operations or cash flows of the Company.

On
September 22, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Viking, (the
Company’s majority shareholder which is in turn controlled by and managed by Tom
Simeo, the Company’s chairman, chief executive officer and president), relating
to the issuance of 284,637 new shares of the Company’s common stock to Viking in
exchange for the release of Synthenol by Viking from an obligation to repay

the aggregate amount of $270,405 (inclusive of principal and interest) as
reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 24,
2008. The amount of the newly issued shares was determined by
dividing $270,405 by $0.95 which price is equal to the price per share Viking
paid for certain shares of Synthenol common stock pursuant to a stock purchase
agreement dated as of August 15, 2008 described under Note 2. The transaction
was recorded at exchange values.
On April
3, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Viking, providing that

Item 9. | Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. |
The
management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management must evaluate its
internal controls over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley Act
Section 404 (a). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles or GAAP.
As of
December 31, 2009, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective
internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission and SEC guidance on conducting such
assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during
the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were
not effective to detect the inappropriate application of GAAP rules as more
fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design
or operation of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that
adversely affected its internal controls and that may be considered to be
material weaknesses.
The
matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management
considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and
lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's 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) insufficient written policies and
procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the
requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4)
ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting
processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the
Company's chief financial officer in connection with the audit of the Company’s
financial statements as of December 31, 2009 and communicated the matters to the
Company’s management.
Management
believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above
did not have an effect on the Company's financial results. However, management
believes that the lack of outside directors on the Company's board of directors
can resulting in oversight in the establishing and monitoring of required
internal controls and procedures which can affect the process of preparing
Company's financial statements.
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 the
Company's Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and
implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the
following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures
for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and
application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective
controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further,
management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the
technical expertise and knowledge will result in proper segregation of duties
and provide more checks and balances within the financial reporting department.
Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support the
Company if personnel turn over issues within the financial reporting department
occur. This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will
greatly decrease any control and procedure issues the Company may encounter in
the future.
Management
will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of its internal controls
and procedures and its internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing
basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional
enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Item
9A.
|
Controls
and Procedures.
|
There
have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules
13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the small business
issuer's last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.

Audit
Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

have an audit committee. The Company’s entire board of directors handles the
functions that would otherwise be handled by an audit committee. The Company

determination as to whether such person is independent.

Related
Transaction
On
September 22, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Viking, (the
Company’s majority shareholder which is in turn controlled by and managed by Tom
Simeo, the Company’s chairman, chief executive officer and president), relating
to the issuance of 284,637 new shares of the Company’s common stock to Viking in
exchange for the release of Synthenol by Viking from an obligation to repay
certain outstanding promissory notes and debt of Synthenol owing to Viking in
the aggregate amount of $270,405 (inclusive of principal and interest) as
reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 24,
2008. The amount of the newly issued shares was determined by
dividing $270,405 by $0.95 which price is equal to the price per share Viking
paid for certain shares of Synthenol common stock pursuant to a stock purchase
agreement dated as of August 15, 2008. The transaction was recorded at exchange
values.
On April
3, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Viking, providing that
effective August 15, 2008, Viking will pay for any services performed on behalf
of the Company by third parties until such time that Viking is no longer the
majority shareholder of the Company.

fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, Viking assumed professional and other
service fee in the aggregate amount of $32,000 on its own.
On
December 19, 2009, the Company announced a strategic partnership with Viking, whereby Viking, in exchange for a
fee, and SinoCubate will work together and assist various business entities in the
Peoples Republic of China or the PRC in their endeavors to become
publicly listed companies in the United States . In connection with
the strategic agreement, the Company was to newly issue 4,750,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock to Viking in exchange for One Hundred Thousand
(100,000) shares of common stock
of
Renhuang Pharmaceuticals, Inc. or Renhuang owned by Viking, and newly issue
15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Viking in
exchange for entry into the strategic partnership agreement. In
connection with the foregoing transactions, Philip Wan and Yung Kong Chin were
appointed directors and officers of the Company and were each granted warrants
to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of
$0.26 per share exercisable in whole or in part at any time during the 3 years
after issuance. Effective, March 26, 2010, the parties elected to
terminate the strategic partnership agreement and the directors and officers
appointed thereby, Messrs. Wan and Chin, resigned as directors and officers of
the Company and agreed not to exercise their warrants to purchase the Company’s
shares. The Company has subsequently cancelled the warrants. No
shares were issued to Viking and neither the Company nor Viking has monetary or
other demand on the other related to the cancellation.

of Management
Other
than as disclosed, there were no material transactions, series of similar
transaction, current transactions, or series of similar transactions,
to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in
which the amount involved exceeded $120,000 or 1% of the Company’s total assets
