Notes to Interim Financial Statements
From Inception October 11, 2005 to December 31, 2008
(Expressed in U.S. Funds)
(Unaudited)

1.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

   

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and are prepared using the same accounting policies as outlined in note 3 of News of China Inc.’s financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended June 30, 2009. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the News of China Inc. (A Company in the Development Stage) audited financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

   
2.

Going Concern

   

News of China Inc. (A Company in the Development Stage) (the "Company") has not generated any revenue and has never paid any dividends. The Company is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate of foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern and the ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, its ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and to generate sustainable significant revenue. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise equity financing or generate profitable operations. As at December 31, 2008, the Company has accumulated losses of $138,698 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Should the Company be unable to continue as doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active”.

This FSP was effective from October 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157-3 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

The EITF issued EITF 08-6, “Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations”. This EITF considers whether all of the provisions of Statement 141(R) and Statement 160 should be applied when accounting for an equity method investment. This EITF is effective on a prospective basis in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years.

This EITF is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements.

This report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors”, that may cause our company’s or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are stated in United States dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares of our capital stock.

As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “News of China” means News of China Inc., unless otherwise indicated.

Corporate Overview

We are a development stage company incorporated in Delaware on October 11, 2005. Our principal business until recently has been to provide an online financial media outlet for researching China-related stocks. This media outlet provides financial news and commentary, online video broadcasting, and other information for researching China-related stocks. China-related stocks refer to the stocks issued by companies whose main operations are located in China.

We have been focused on construction and operations of our online financial media outlet website since our inception. In our online financial media outlet, we provided financial news and commentary, online video broadcasting, and other information for researching China-related stocks listed on the United States and Canadian stock markets. “China-related stocks” refer to stock issued by companies whose main operations are located in China. Due to the inefficiency of China’s capital markets, more and more China-related companies are seeking avenues to access the public markets in the United States and Canada to raise capital needed to cope with China’s fast growing economy. Stock exchanges in the United States and Canada have also expressed interest in attracting more Chinese companies.

We finished our online financial media outlet software development in August, 2006, and our media outlet became operational online at www.newsofchina.com in August 2006. Since the successful launch of our online financial media outlet, we updated the contents of our online financial media outlet with relevant news updates, editorials and market analyses relating to public companies with business operations in China. In addition to Mr. Chenxi Shi and Mr. Zibing Zhang, we also engaged additional part time staff members to help us gather relevant financial information for the contents of our online financial media outlet.


- 10 -

Furthermore, in December of 2006, Messrs. Zhang and Shi also traveled to China to promote our business with the investment community there. During this trip, Messrs. Zhang and Shi attended meetings with candidates who can assist us to gather and collect relevant financial information in China on Chinese reporting companies. Messrs. Zhang and Shi also met with individuals from Beijing University to discuss the possibility of organizing an investor relations forum at Beijing University. It was hoped that our company would then be able to promote the benefits of its online media outlet to the attendees. Our online financial media outlet has experienced software difficulty and is currently not operational. We are working on fixing the software problem for our online financial media outlet but we are unsure when we can have it operational again.

In August 2007, we started incorporating a wholly owned subsidiary in China called News of China (Beijing) Management Consultants Co., Ltd. and paid the initial capital registration fee of $30,000 as required under Chinese company law. However, the further capital contribution in the amount of $120,000 was too onerous for our company at this early development stage, so subsequent to the advance of $30,000, we decided not to invest the remaining $120,000 in order to complete the incorporation process. As a consequence thereof, our agent in China repaid the $30,000 advance we made in full to our company.

In our management’s opinion, we have not been able to achieve the milestones we set to fully implement our business operations. Because we have not been able to generate revenues from our online financial media outlet and we have little working capital remained, our management has decided to suspend the implementation of our current business plan until such time when we are able to obtain further financing. We anticipate that we will need to raise $2-2.5 million additional financing through sales of our securities in traditional private placement offerings or other types of private placement transactions such as Private Investment in Public Equity (“PIPE”) before we can continue implementing our current business plan. Alternatively, we may decide to pursue a new business in a different direction other than our current business plan.

Cash Requirements

Over the next 12 months ending December 31, 2009, we anticipate that we will incur the following operating expenses:

Management believes that our company’s cash will not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve month period. Should this prove to be the case, our company plans to raise the capital required to satisfy our immediate short-term needs and additional capital required to meet our estimated funding requirements for the next twelve months primarily through the private placement of our equity securities. There is no assurance that our company will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued working capital requirements.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, our ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

In addition to the issues set out above regarding our ability to raise capital, global economies are currently undergoing a period of economic uncertainty related to the tightening of credit markets worldwide. This has resulted in numerous adverse effects, including unprecedented volatility in financial markets and stock prices, slower economic activity, decreased consumer confidence and commodity prices, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, increased unemployment, liquidity concerns and volatile but generally declining energy prices. We anticipate that the current economic conditions and the credit shortage will adversely impact our ability to raise financing. In addition, if the future economic environment continues to be less favorable than it has been in recent years, we may experience difficulty in completing our current business plan.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures


- 12 -

As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, these officers concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our company's management, including our company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines; (iii) inadequate security and restricted access to computer systems including insufficient disaster recovery plans; and (iv) no written whistle-blower policy. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.

Our company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending June 30, 2009: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting and a whistle-blower policy; and (iii) implement sufficient security and restricted access measures regarding our computer systems and implement a disaster recovery plan. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (iii) are largely dependent upon our company securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely effected in a material manner.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our common shares are considered speculative. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below.


- 13 -

Risks Related To Our Company

We have only commenced our business operations in October, 2005 and we have a limited operating history. If we cannot successfully manage the risks normally faced by start-up companies, we may not achieve profitable operations and ultimately our business may fail.

We have a limited operating history. We are currently a development stage company and have developed preliminarily the necessary software for the planned online financial media outlet. Accordingly, we have a very limited operating history and we face all of the risks and uncertainties encountered by early-stage companies.

As at December 31, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $138,698. We anticipate continuing to incur significant losses until, at the earliest, we generate sufficient revenues to offset the substantial up-front expenditures and operating costs associated with developing and marketing our services. There can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably.

Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

In their report dated September 17, 2008, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements for the period October 11, 2005 (Date of Inception) to June 30, 2008 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised as we have never generated any revenue from operations. We anticipate that we will continue to experience net operating losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities. Our lack of revenue and continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.

We have no customers and generate no revenues and have only limited marketing experience to develop customers.

We have not yet entered into any agreements to sell our online financial medial outlet services to any customers. We do not believe that we will generate significant revenues in the immediate future. We will not generate any meaningful revenues unless we successfully launch our online financial media outlet and we obtain contracts with a significant number of customers. There can be no assurance that we will ever be able to obtain contracts with a significant number of customers to generate meaningful revenues or achieve profitable operations.

We have only limited experience in developing and marketing online financial media services, and there is limited information available concerning the potential performance or market acceptance of our proposed services. There can be no assurance that unanticipated expenses, problems or technical difficulties will not occur which would result in material delays in commercialization of our services or that our efforts will result in successful commercialization.

We need substantial additional financing and a failure to obtain such required financing will inhibit our ability to grow or we may have to curtail or cease operations.

Our capital requirements relating to the developing and marketing of our services have been, and will continue to be, significant. We are dependent on the proceeds of future financing in order to continue in business and to develop and commercialize additional proposed services. We anticipate requiring approximately $2,000,000 to $2,500,000 in additional financing for our longer term growth. Our management has decided to suspend implementation of our current business until such time when additional financing of approximately $2,000,000 to $2,500,000 is achieved. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the substantial additional capital resources necessary to permit us to pursue our business plan. We have no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, additional financing and there can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any inability to obtain additional financing will have a material adverse effect on us, such as requiring us to significantly curtail or cease operations. In that case, you may lose your entire investment.


- 14 -

The continued growth of our business will require additional funding from time to time which would be used for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include acquisitions, investments, repayment of debt, capital expenditures, repurchase of our capital stock and any other purposes that we may specify in any prospectus supplement. Obtaining additional funding would be subject to a number of factors including market conditions, operational performance and investor sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of additional funding unattractive, or unavailable, to us.

The terms of any future financing may adversely affect your interest as stockholders.

If we require additional financing in the future, we may be required to incur indebtedness or issue equity securities, the terms of which may adversely affect your interests in our company. For example, the issuance of additional indebtedness may be senior in right of payment to your shares upon our liquidation. In addition, indebtedness may be under terms that make the operation of our business more difficult because the lender’s consent will be required before we take certain actions. Similarly the terms of any equity securities we issue may be senior in right of payment of dividends to your common stock and may contain superior rights and other rights as compared to your common stock. Further, any such issuance of equity securities may dilute your interest in our company, which may reduce the value of your investment.

We could lose our competitive advantages if we are not able to continuously develop superior services in our market niche and gain substantial market penetration quickly.

Our success and ability to compete depends, to a significant degree, on our ability to continuously develop superior services in our selected market niche of targeting and providing information on publicly reporting companies with business based in China and obtain substantial market penetration quickly. Our business model is vulnerable to duplication by competitors, especially competitors who are established in providing business and financial information of publicly reporting companies, who have superior financial and technological resources, industry experiences and marketing capacities. It is difficult to take, and we have not taken, any action to protect our business model in our selected market niche. If any of our competitors copies our business model or develops similar services independently, we would not be able to compete as effectively.

We may face regulatory difficulties for our services.

Development of such a media solution might be subject to regulations of various national, state, and provincial authorities in various jurisdictions. To comply with the regulations we may face a variety of bureaucratic difficulties that may likely add extra financial burden to our company.

The online media industry in China is subject to regulations of several Ministries and the State Agencies, including China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), The Ministry of Public Security of the People’s Republic of China, the Ministry of Information Industry of the People’s Republic of China, and Internet Society of China (ISC) etc. Although we are not required to obtain authorization from these Ministries and State Agencies, the accessibility of our planned online media might be blocked in China for political or other unpredictable reasons, which might affect our business activities in China substantially.

The uncertain legal environments in the People’s Republic of China and our industry may be vulnerable to local government agencies who have persistent bureaucratic power over customers, reporters and other parties who wish to renegotiate the terms and conditions of, or terminate their agreements or other understandings with us, when we enter substantial agreement of manufacturing and marketing of our proposed services in China.


- 15 -

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain limitations on the liability of our directors and officers, which may discourage suits against directors and executive officers for breaches of fiduciary duties.

Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and our Bylaws contain provisions limiting the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law. This is intended to eliminate the personal liability of a director for monetary damages on an action brought by origin our right for breach of a director’s duties to us or to our stockholders except in certain limited circumstances. In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and our Bylaws contain provisions requiring us to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents serving at our request, against expenses, judgments (including derivative actions), fines and amounts paid in settlement. This indemnification is limited to actions taken in good faith in the reasonable belief that the conduct was lawful and in, or not opposed to our best interests. The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws provide for the indemnification of directors and officers in connection with civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings when acting in their capacities as agents for us. These provisions may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and executive officers and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from suing directors or executive officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit our stockholders and directors and officers.

Our success depends on our management team and other key personnel, the loss of any of whom could disrupt our business operations.

Our future success will depend in substantial part on the continual services of our senior management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, Chenxi Shi, and our Vice President, Zibing Zhang. As a startup company, currently none of the senior management team draws salaries from our company. We do not carry key person life insurance on any of our officers or employees. The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel could impede implementation of our business plan and result in reduced profitability.

Our future success will also depend on the continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified technical, sales and marketing, customer support personnel. Competition for qualified personnel is intense in our industry. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our key personnel or that we will be able to attract, assimilate or retain qualified personnel in the future. Our inability to hire and retain qualified personnel or the loss of the services of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Because our officers, directors and principal shareholders control a majority of our common stock, investors will have little or no control over our management or other matters requiring shareholder approval.

Our officers and directors and their affiliates in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 74.21% of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, they have the ability to control matters affecting minority shareholders, including the election of our directors, the acquisition or disposition of our assets, and the future issuance of our shares. Because our officers, directors and principal shareholders control the company, investors will not be able to replace our management if they disagree with the way our business is being run. Because control by these insiders could result in management making decisions that are in the best interest of those insiders and not in the best interest of the investors, you may lose some or all of the value of your investment in our common stock.

Because we do not have sufficient insurance to cover our business losses, we might have uninsured losses, increasing the possibility that you would lose your investment.

We may incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of our business. We do not currently maintain any comprehensive liability or property insurance. Even if we obtain such insurance in the future, we may not carry sufficient insurance coverage to satisfy potential claims. We do not carry any business interruption insurance. Should uninsured losses occur, any purchasers of our common stock could lose their entire investment.

Risks Relating to our Business

Our success depends upon the development of China’s and the world’s capital markets.

China is the one of the fastest growing economies in the world. China is now taking great efforts to develop its current capital market into a more effective one. The growth of China’s capital market might significantly reduce the necessity of Chinese companies to go public in the United States and Canada. Furthermore, Chinese companies also have the options to go public in other global capital markets such as those in Hong Kong and Singapore. The development of other global capital markets can also attract more companies to go public in those alternative stock markets. Moreover, Chinese regulators might limit the number and the ability of Chinese companies to go public in the United States and Canada. Because our online financial media outlet will focus on North American publicly reporting companies with business based in China, all these circumstances can have an adverse effect on our business.

We face competition from larger and stronger companies that have the resources to provide superior and less costly services.

The markets that we are entering are intensely competitive. We expect additional competition to come from the increasing number of new market entrants who can develop potentially competitive services. We will face competition from numerous sources, including, large established traditional and online media who have superior resources and industry experiences. Our potential competitors may succeed in developing services that are more effective or less costly (or both) than our services. Some of our potential competitors may be large, well-financed and established companies that have greater resources and, therefore, may be better able than us to compete for a share of the market.

Our business is to provide online financial information through our online financial media outlet for researching China-related stocks to North America financial institutions. To our best knowledge, there is no established online media focused on our selected market niche yet. However, we have to compete with a large number of traditional media providing similar or even superior services such as The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Bloomberg and Financial Times. Competition also comes from various financial online media such as finance.yahoo.com, Reuters.com, wallst.net etc. These traditional and online financial media have superior financial resources, industry experiences, market penetration and marketing capacity. Potential new entrants can copy our business model and compete with us in our selected market niche as well. Our competitive edge relies upon providing a one place financial media solution for researching China-related stocks listed in North American stock exchanges. Our Chinese cultural and language literacy and local connections in China enable us to provide information that is not available to these established traditional and online media. Our media will also cover information about China-related companies, especially small to medium sized ones, which are usually not covered by these established media. However, there is no assurance we can compete with these established or new competitors effectively, and if we fail provide superior services effectively than these competitors, our business will fail and you will lose your entire investment.

Our operations depend upon the timeliness and quality of the services of web hosting service providers.

Our online financial media outlet is dependent on the quality and the timeliness of web hosting services. We currently use the web hosting services of DailyRazor Hosting (www.dailyrazor.com), a division of Vecordia Corporation. The failure to provide high quality and timely services of the provider will have material adverse effects on our business activities and our profitability.

We may face technological difficulties

Our online media outlet services are dependent upon the smooth operation of the software we develop. Shortcomings and bugs in the software may have material adverse effect on our business. Our online media outlet may also be vulnerable to attacks from hackers and computer viruses, which may cause interruption of our business.


- 17 -

We may be sued by reporting companies covered by our online financial media outlet, and investors who rely on information disseminated through our online financial media outlet.

We may have dispute with China related reporting companies about the materials and information we cover and disseminate through our online financial media outlet and thus be sued by these companies. Investors who make investment decisions relying upon information disseminated through our financial media outlet may also sue us for their losses. These legal proceedings might have material negative effect on profitability of our business.

Risks Relating to the People’s Republic of China

The economic policies of the People’s Republic of China could affect our business.

Our business is to provide financial information through our online financial media outlet for researching China’s listed companies in the United States and Canada. Accordingly, our results of operations and prospects are subject, to a significant extent, to the economic, political and legal developments in the People’s Republic of China.

While the People’s Republic of China’s economy has experienced significant growth in the past twenty years, such growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall economy of the People’s Republic of China, but they may also have a negative effect on us.

The economy of the People’s Republic of China has been changing from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. In recent years, the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform and the reduction of state ownership of productive assets, and the establishment of corporate governance in business enterprises; however, a substantial portion of productive assets in the People’s Republic of China are still owned by the Chinese government. In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over the People’s Republic of China’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, the control of payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, the setting of monetary policy and the provision of preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

Capital outflow policies in the People’s Republic of China may hamper our ability to expand our business and/or operations. The People’s Republic of China has adopted currency and capital transfer regulations. These regulations may require us to comply with complex regulations for the movement of capital. Although our management believes that it is currently in compliance with these regulations, should these regulations or the interpretation of them by courts or regulatory agencies change, we may not be able to remit income earned and proceeds received in connection with any off-shore operations or from other financial or strategic transactions we may consummate in the future.

Fluctuation of the Renminbi could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Fluctuation of the Renminbi, the currency of the People’s Republic of China, could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations. The value of the Renminbi fluctuates and is subject to changes in the People’s Republic of China’s political and economic conditions. Since July 2005, the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including United States dollars, is pegged against the inter-bank foreign exchange market rates or current exchange rates of a basket of currencies on the world financial markets. As of February 13, 2009, the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the United States dollar was 6.844 Renminbi to every one United States dollar.


- 18 -

We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in the People’s Republic of China.

The People’s Republic of China historically has not adopted a Western style of management and financial reporting concepts and practices, as well as in modern banking, computer and other control systems. We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in the People’s Republic of China. As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards.

It will be extremely difficult to acquire jurisdiction and enforce liability against our officers, directors and assets based in The People’s Republic of China.

Because some of our executive officers and current directors are Chinese citizens, it may be difficult, if not impossible, to acquire jurisdiction over these persons in the event a lawsuit is initiated against us and/or our officers and directors by a stockholder or group of stockholders in the United States.

Our business may face regulatory difficulties in the People’s Republic of China.

The online media industry in China is subject to regulations of several Ministries and the State Agencies, including China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), The Ministry of Public Security of the People’s Republic of China, the Ministry of Information Industry of the People’s Republic of China, and Internet Society of China (ISC). Although we are not required to obtain authorization or approval from these Ministries and State Agencies as a foreign online media, the accessibility of our online media might be blocked in China for political or other unpredictable reasons, which might adversely affect our business activities in China substantially. To comply with the regulations the Company may face a variety of bureaucratic difficulties that may likely add extra financial burden to our company. Bureaucracy and corruption that are often seen in China may also have adverse effects on our operation and financial conditions.

Risks Associated With Our Common Stock

Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq or a stock exchange like the American Stock Exchange. Accordingly, our shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares.

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and the FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny


- 19 -

stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

In addition to the “penny stock rules” promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

Other Risks

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties

We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of the risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.
