USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of their common stock. If the selling stockholders exercise any warrants, we will receive the amount of the exercise price. The maximum total exercise price is approximately $4.2 million, which we would receive only if all of the warrants for which the underlying shares of common stock are being registered were exercised at their present exercise prices, which are $1.50 per share as to warrants to purchase 735,632 shares of common stock, and $2.07 per share as to warrants to purchase 1,514,368 shares of common stock. Any proceeds which we receive from the exercise of the warrants would be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. In the event that the exercise price of the warrants is reduced as a result of our failure to meet the required level of pre-tax income per share, the total proceeds from the exercise of the warrants could be reduced by up to 50%, with the result that the total proceeds would be reduced by up to approximately $2.1 million. We cannot assure you that any of the warrants will be exercised.

The notes provided for interest at 3% per annum. However, upon the conversion of the notes, we issued the stock and warrants based on the principal amount of the notes, and we did not make any adjustment for the interest.

 

The warrants have a term of five years, and expire in May 2012. The warrants provide a cashless exercise feature; however, the holders of the warrants may not make a cashless exercise during the twelve months following the date of the initial issuance and thereafter only if the underlying shares are covered by an effective registration statement.

 

The warrants provide that the exercise price of the warrants may be reduced by up to 50% if our pre-tax income per share of common stock, on a fully-diluted basis, is less than $0.19941. Pre tax-income is defined as income before income taxes determined in accordance with generally United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) plus (a) any charges relating to the transaction contemplated by the purchase agreement and the registration rights agreement, minus (b) the amount, if any, by which all non-recurring losses or expenses exceed all non-recurring items or income or gain. Pre-tax income shall not be adjusted if all non-recurring items of income or gain exceed all non-recurring losses or expenses. Items shall be deemed to be non-recurring only if they qualify as non-recurring pursuant to GAAP. For determining pre-tax income per share, all shares which are outstanding or which may be issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants and other convertible securities are deemed to be outstanding, regardless of whether the shares would be counted for purposes of computing diluted earnings per shares under GAAP. An adjustment in the warrant exercise price does not affect the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The following table sets forth the exercise price of the warrants if our pre-tax income is 20% below the threshold (a “20% shortfall”) and 50% or more below the threshold (a “50% shortfall”):

		$1.50 Warrant			$2.07 Warrant			$2.40 Warrant			$3.00 Warrant
		Exercise Price			Exercise Price			Exercise Price			Exercise Price
Unadjusted		$	1.50		$	2.07		$	2.40		$	3.00
20% shortfall		$	1.20		$	1.656		$	1.92		$	2.40
50% shortfall		$	0.75		$	1.035		$	1.20		$	1.50

 

No warrant exercise price needs to be adjusted since the pre-tax income after adjustment of the warrant transaction charges is higher than $0.19941 per share of common stock.

The warrants also give us the right to call the warrants for $.01 per share of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants if the trading price per share of the common stock is not less than the greater of (a) $4.14 or 200% of the exercise price for the $2.07 warrants, (b) $4.14 or 276% of the exercise price for the $1.50 warrants; (c) $4.14 or 172.5% of the exercise price for the $2.40 warrants, and (d) $5.25 or 175% of the exercise price for the $3.00 warrants on each trading day in the 20 trading days ending on the date prior to the date on which the warrants are called for redemption provided that the trading volume on each day in the computation period is at least 1,000 shares.

In order for us to exercise the right of redemption, a registration statement covering the sale of the underlying shares must be current and effective. In the event that, at any time subsequent to the date on which the warrants are called for redemption, the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are not subject to a current and effective registration statement, our right to call the warrants for redemption shall terminate with respect to all warrants that have not then been exercised or converted prior to that date.

 

The securities purchase agreement, the certificate of designation for the series A preferred stock and the warrants provide that those securities may not be exercised or converted if such conversion or exercise would result in the holder and its affiliates having beneficial ownership of more than 4.9% of our outstanding common stock. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder. This limitation may not be waived.

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, in addition to the foregoing:

 

·

We amended our articles of incorporation to provide for a class of preferred stock and we created the series A preferred stock.

·

We placed 944,445 shares of common stock and Mr. Xiqun Yu, our chief executive officer and principal stockholder, placed in escrow 944,445 shares of common stock. We are to deliver to the escrow agent a certificate for 2,833,333 shares of series A preferred stock, upon receipt of which the escrow agent is to return to us for cancellation the 944,445 shares of common stock that we placed in escrow.

·

If our pre-tax income for 2007 is less than $0.19941 per share, on a fully-diluted basis, the percentage shortfall shall be determined by dividing the amount of the shortfall by the target number. If the percentage shortfall is equal to or greater than 33 1/3%, then the 944,445 shares of common stock (or the 2,833,333 shares of series A preferred stock after the exchange of the common stock for the series A preferred stock as described above) shall be delivered to the investors and the 944,445 shares of common stock placed in escrow by Mr. Yu shall be delivered to us for cancellation.

·

If the percentage shortfall is less than 33 1/3%, the escrow agent shall:

·

with respect to the shares placed in escrow by us, (i) deliver to the investors such number of shares of common stock as is determined by multiplying the percentage shortfall by 944,445 (or 2,833,333 shares of series A preferred stock after the exchange of the common stock for the preferred stock as described above), and (ii) deliver to the balance of such shares to us for cancellation, and

·

with respect to the shares placed in escrow by Mr. Yu, (i) deliver to us such number of shares of common stock as is determined by multiplying the percentage shortfall by 944,445 shares, and we shall cancel such shares, and (ii) deliver to Mr. Yu the balance of the 944,445 shares that were not transferred to us.

·

We agreed that, within 90 days after the closing, which was August 6, 2007, we would have appointed such number of independent directors that would result in a majority of our directors being independent directors and we would have an audit committee composed solely of at least three independent directors and a compensation committee would have a majority of independent directors. Thereafter, our failure to meet these requirements for a period of 60 days for an excused reason, as defined in the purchase agreement, or 75 days for a reason which is not an excused reason, would results in the imposition of liquidated damages which are payable in cash or additional shares of series A preferred stock. The liquidated damages are computed in an amount equal to 12% per annum of the principal amount of notes outstanding, up to a maximum of $408,000, which is payable in cash or stock, at the election of the investors. Our failure to comply with these requirements resulted in our payment of liquidated damages through the payment of $77,128 or the issuance of 208,456 shares of series A preferred stock as of October 15, 2007. The shares of series A preferred stock are convertible into 69,484 shares of common stock. The investors elected to take payment in stock, and we issued the shares in October 2007. The number of shares of series A preferred stock was based on the liquidation value of one share of series A preferred stock, which is $.37 per share. The investors have waived their right to receive any additional liquidated damages through December 31, 2007 with respect to our failure to comply with these provisions. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, as amended, the shares of series A preferred stock are valued at the liquidation value, which is $0.37 per share of series A preferred stock. Since the market price for our common stock on October 15, 2007 was $4.00 per share, the market value of the shares issued to the investors was approximately $277,944. If we are required to issue any additional shares of series A preferred stock pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, we are to issue the shares at the $0.37 per share liquidation value.

·

We and the investors entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which we were required to have this registration statement filed with the SEC by July 7, 2007 and declared effective by the SEC not later than November 5, 2007. We filed the registration statement on September 13, 2007. In November 2007, we entered into an agreement with the investors pursuant to which the registration rights agreement was amended to eliminate the liquidated damages for failure to file this registration statement when required and waived any additional liquidated damages that would be due as a result of our failure to have the registration statement declared effective by December 31, 2007.

Liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement are payable through the issuance of additional shares of series A preferred stock at the rate of 2,130 shares of series A preferred stock for each day, based on the proposed registration of all of the underlying shares of common stock, with a maximum of 900,000 shares. However, since, pursuant to the SEC’s rules relating to secondary offerings, we are not able to register all of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock or exercise of the warrants, the number of shares is reduced to a fraction of 2,130 shares, of which the numerator is the number of shares being registered (2,250,000) and the denominator is the number of shares issuable upon conversion of all of the series A preferred stock (3,063,063), which is 1,565 shares per day. If the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is not declared effective by December 31, 2007 we will be required to issue 1,565 shares of series A preferred stock for each day subsequent to December 31, 2007 that the registration statement is not effective.

 

·

The investors have a right of first refusal on future financings.

·

With certain limited exceptions, if we issue stock at a purchase price or warrants or convertible securities at an exercise or conversion price which is less than the conversion price of the series A preferred stock or the exercise price of the warrants, (a) the conversion price of the note and the series A preferred stock is reduced to the lower price and (b) exercise price will be reduced pursuant to a weighted average formula.

·

We are restricted from issuing convertible debt or preferred stock or from having debt in an amount greater than twice our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

·

Our officers and directors agreed, with certain limited exceptions, not to publicly sell shares of common stock for 27 months or such earlier date as all of the convertible securities and warrants have been converted or exercised and the underlying shares of common stock have been sold.

·

We paid Barron Partners $50,000 for its due diligence expenses.

In connection with the placement, we paid Brean Murray Carret & Co. a fee of $60,000 and issued to Brean Murray a warrant to purchase 83,333 shares of common stock at $2.25 per share, and paid cash fees of $48,000 to Huang Jun and $24,000 to Liu Zongbo.

The proceeds from the sale of the notes, after brokerage fees and closing costs was used to pay the principal and interest on bridge notes issued in September 2006 in the amount of $1,364,578 and for working capital. The warrants to purchase shares of common stock which were issued in connection with the bridge notes (of which there are currently 382,503 outstanding), were modified so that the warrants will terminate on September 29, 2010 and have an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The warrants give us the right to call the warrants for $.01 per share after September 29, 2008 if the average closing sales price of our common stock exceeds $4.14 per share during any period of 30 consecutive trading days. It was also agreed that there will be no piggy-back rights regarding the warrants in connection with the registration statement to be filed by us in connection with the notes issued pursuant to the purchase agreement and that the warrant holders will not exercise any demand registration rights until September 29, 2008; provided, however, the holders of the warrants shall not exercise any demand registration rights if (a) all of the underlying shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any subsequent successor rule or (b) such warrants have not been called for redemption.

 

Table 1 sets forth the dollar value of any payment made by us, including the value of any payments made in stock, in connection with May 2007 private placement, to any selling stockholder or any affiliate of any selling stockholder or any person which we know to have a contractual relationship with any selling stockholder.

(1)

The value of the series A preferred stock is based on the liquidation value of one share of series A preferred stock, which is $.37 per share. The value of such shares, based on the closing price of one share of common stock on November 26, 2007, would have been $329,360.

(2)

The series A preferred stock is based on a price of $1.58 per share since each shares of series A preferred stock is convertible into one-third share of common stock and the price of the common stock on November 26, 2007 was $4.74.

We received total proceeds of $3,400,000 from the sale of the notes. After deducting the due diligence payment of $50,000 to Barron Partners and the investment banking and finders fees in the amount of $132,000, the net cash proceeds were $3,218,000.

 

The closing price of our common stock on November 26, 2007 was $4.74 per share. If all of the 2,250,000 shares of common stock that the selling stockholders propose to sell pursuant to this prospectus were sold at that price, the selling stockholders would realize gross proceeds of approximately $10.7 million. Table 2 shows the potential profit from the sale of those shares if the shares could be sold at that price:

In Table 2, no portion of the purchase price of the notes was allocated to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

 

Table 3 sets forth information relating to the total profit which the selling stockholders may realize from their sale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock and exercise of the warrants, based on the market price of our common stock on November 26, 2007 of $4.74 per share.

In Table 3:

 

·

The purchase price of the notes is being allocated to the shares issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock. The effective price per share for the shares issuable upon conversion of the shares of series A preferred stock is $1.11 per share. There is no cost associated with the shares issued for liquidated damages.

·

The number of shares issued as liquidated damages reflect those shares that were paid to the selling stockholders as of October 15, 2007, and is based on the assumption that the registration statement will be declared effective by December 31, 2007.

·

The maximum adjustment if earnings target is not met reflects (a) the value of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the maximum number of shares of series A preferred stock which may be delivered to the selling stockholders from escrow and (b) the increase in the discount resulting from the maximum reduction in the exercise price of the warrants.

·

The discount referred to in the table represents the potential profit to the selling stockholder based on the assumptions reflected in the table.

Table 4 sets forth information concerning the gross proceeds paid or payable to us, the net proceeds and the potential profit to the selling stockholders based on the closing price of our common stock on November 26, 2007 of $4.74 per share, and the ratio of the potential profit to the net proceeds to us.

Advertising income is included in our on-line education revenue. In both 2007 and 2008, we added several new programs for vocational studies and certification programs, which provided new sources of income for our on-line education area.

 

Cost of sales. Our overall cost of sales decreased by approximately $171,382 to $1,562,324 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $1,733,706 for the same period in 2007. The decrease in cost of sales reflects a $379,750 decrease in our cost of sales for our on-line education area in 2008 offset by an increase of $208,368 from our training center segment. The on-line training area gross margin increased to 86.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 79.7% for the same period in 2007 due to the fact that on-line education costs are somewhat fixed and margins increase with volume. Our training center area gross margin decreased to 58.8% in for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from 59.1% for the same period in 2007 due to decreased payments to lecturers.

 

Selling expenses. Selling expenses increased by approximately $773,852, or 42.1%, to $2,613,018 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $1,839,166 for the same period in 2007. The increases in selling expenses include increased agency fees associated with increased sales of our debit cards.

 

Administrative expenses. Administrative expenses increased by $30,239, or 5.1%, to $625,905 in 2008 as compared to $595,666 in 2007. The increase in administrative expenses was due to an increase in professional fees and office expenses offset by decreases in salaries and other administrative expenses.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $202,654, or 95%, to $415,831 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $213,177 for the same period in 2007. This increase was due to depreciation and amortization associated with increases in fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets.

Interest income (expense). Interest expense decreased by $471,237, or 95.6% to $21,842 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $493,079 for the same period in 2007. This reflects the conversion of the notes payable to stock during 2007.

Income Taxes. Under current Chinese tax law, a wholly foreign owned enterprise has a 100% tax exemption or “holiday” for the first two years after it so qualifies, and thereafter, a 50% tax “holiday” for three years. Since Harbin Zhong He Li Da became a wholly foreign owned enterprise in 2005, we benefited from a 100% tax holiday in 2006. Under the present law, we benefited from a 50% tax holiday for 2007 and will benefit from a 50% tax holiday in 2008 and 2009. As a result, our income taxes for 2008 and 2007 reflect income taxes at 50% of the applicable tax rate of 15%, or such other applicable tax rate as a result of changes in tax rates effective January 1, 2008. These changes will have the effect of increasing the enterprise tax rate by 2% per year until it reaches an effective tax rate of 25%.

Net income. As a result of the foregoing, we had net income of $3,569,916, or $0.17 per share basic and $0.14 diluted, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared with net income of $2,396,023 or $0.04 per share (basic and diluted), for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

(1)

Mr. Yu had placed 944,445 shares of his common stock in escrow pursuant to the securities purchase agreement relating to our May 2007 private placement, subject to our meeting certain levels of pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 2007. These shares are included in the number of shares beneficially owned by Mr. Yu. Since we have achieved the pre-tax income per share milestone set forth in the securities purchase agreement, Mr. Yu’s shares had been promptly released from escrow and returned to him.

Except as otherwise indicated each person has the sole power to vote and dispose of all shares of common stock listed opposite his name. Each person is deemed to own beneficially shares of common stock which are issuable upon exercise of warrants or upon conversion of convertible securities if they are exercisable or convertible within 60 days of October 16, 2008. None of the persons named in the table above own any options or convertible securities.

 

Barron Partners, LP owns shares of Series A Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock which, if fully converted and exercised, would result in the ownership, by Barron Partners, LP, of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock. However, the Series A Preferred Stock may not be converted and the warrants may not be exercised if such conversion or exercise would result in Barron Partners LP and its affiliates owning more than 4.9% of our outstanding common stock. This limitation may not be waived.

We have not adopted any equity compensation plans and have no securities authorized for issuance under any such plans.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION

FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Our Articles of Incorporation provides that we will indemnify and hold harmless our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

Section 16:21, et seq. of the North Carolina Business Corporation Act, as amended, provides for broad indemnification of directors, officers and employees subject to certain exceptions. A North Carolina corporation may indemnify an individual who is made a party to a proceeding if he conducted himself in good faith, and he reasonably believed that his conduct was in its best interests and that his conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests. However, a corporation can not indemnify in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which a director was adjudged liable to the corporation or any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to him. Section 17:12 of the Act provides for mandatory indemnification of officers to be the same extent as a director, unless on account of his activities which were, at the time taken, known or believed by him to be clearly in conflict with the best interest of the corporation.

Indemnification Against Public Policy

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue

Common Stock

 

Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends as may be declared by our board of directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock. Pursuant to the certificate of designation relating to the series A preferred stock, we are prohibited from paying dividends on our common stock while the preferred stock is outstanding. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately our net assets available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our articles of incorporation give our board of directors the power to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors has the discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock. The purpose of authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Except for the series A preferred stock, we have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock. Our articles of incorporation include a provision which states that any rights, options and warrants may provide that any or all of such terms and conditions may not be waived or amended or may be waived or amended only with the consent of the holders of a designated percentage of a designated class or classes of our capital stock (or a designated group or groups of holders within such class or classes, including but not limited to disinterested holders), and the applicable terms and conditions of any such rights, options or warrants so conditioned may not be waived or amended or may not be waived or amended absent such consent. This relates to the terms of the warrants that provide that the 4.9% limitation on the number of shares of common stock that a warrant holder may beneficially own may not be amended.

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

The certificate of designation for the series A preferred stock provides that:

	·	Each share of series A preferred stock is initially convertible into one third of a share of common stock, subject to adjustment.
	·	If we issue common stock at a price, or options, warrants or other convertible securities with a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price (presently $1.11 per share), with certain specified exceptions, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of one share of series A preferred stock is adjusted to reflect a conversion price equal to the lower price.

  

	·	No dividends are payable with respect to the series A preferred stock, and while the series A preferred stock is outstanding, we may not pay dividends on or redeem shares of common stock.
	·	Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of the series A preferred stock are entitled to a preference of $.37 per share before any distributions or payments may be made with respect to the common stock or any other class or series of capital stock which is junior to the series A preferred stock upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

 

55

---

 

	·	The holders of the series A preferred stock have no voting rights. However, so long as any shares of series A preferred stock are outstanding, we shall not, without the affirmative approval of the holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of series A preferred stock then outstanding, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the series A preferred stock or alter or amend the certificate of designation, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation senior to or otherwise pari passu with the series A preferred stock, or any of preferred stock possessing greater voting rights or the right to convert at a more favorable price than the series A preferred stock, (c) amend our articles of incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of the provisions thereof, (d) increase the authorized number of shares of series A preferred stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.
	·	The holders of the series A preferred stock may not convert the series A preferred stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the holders owning more than 4.9% of our outstanding common stock. This limitation may not be amended or waived; provided, that the limitation does not supply with respect to a change of control. The shares of series A preferred stock are automatically converted upon a change of control, as defined in the certificate of designation.

 

Warrants and Options

North Carolina Corporate Law

 

We are a North Carolina corporation, and may become subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the North Carolina Control Share Act (Section 55-9A-01). In general, North Carolina Law prevents take-over offers to acquire equity securities of a North Carolina corporation. The North Carolina Shareholder Protection Act, for example, requires an affirmative vote of the holders of ninety-five percent (95%) of the voting shares of a North Carolina corporation to adopt or authorize a business combination with any other entity if the other entity is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than twenty percent (20%) of the voting shares of the corporation, subject to certain exceptions. The existence of this and other provisions would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect, including attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.

 

Penny-Stock Rules

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions, and is not listed on the a registered stock exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market (although the $5.00 per share requirement may apply to Nasdaq listed securities) or has net tangible assets in excess of $2,000,000, if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years, or $5,000,000, if the issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years; or has average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years.

Although we do not believe that we are subject to the penny-stock rules, it is possible that in the future our common stock may be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect your ability to sell our securities in the secondary market and the price at which you can sell our common stock.

 

According to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

·

Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

·

Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

·

“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;

·

Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

·

The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

 

57

---

Purchasers of penny stocks may have certain legal remedies available to them in the event the obligations of the broker-dealer from whom the penny stock was purchased violates or fails to comply with the above obligations or in the event that other state or federal securities laws are violated in connection with the purchase and sale of such securities. Such rights include the right to rescind the purchase of such securities and recover the purchase price paid for them.

 

Because our stock may be a “penny stock” we may not have the safe harbor protection under federal securities laws with respect to forward-looking statement.

 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of China Education Alliance, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006. 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 audit. The consolidated financial statements of China Education Alliance, Inc. as of December 31, 2005, were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 28, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of China Education Alliance, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

China Education Alliance, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.	Description of Business

Nature of organization - China Education Alliance, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as ABC Realty Co., was originally organized under the laws of the State of North Carolina on December 2, 1996. ABC Realty Co.’s primary purpose was to act as a broker or agent in residential real estate transactions. On September 15, 2004, ABC Realty Co. was reorganized pursuant to the Plan of Exchange to acquire Harbin Zhong He Li Da Education Technology, Inc. (“ZHLD”), a corporation formed on August 9, 2004 in the City of Harbin of Heilongjiang Province, People’s Republic of China, with an authorized capital of $60,386 (RMB500,000).

On September 15, 2004, ABC Realty Co. executed a Plan of Exchange with ZHLD and Duane C. Bennett, the former Chairman of ABC Realty Co., pursuant to which the shareholders of ZHLD exchanged all of their registered capital of $60,386 for 18,333,334 shares of common stock of the Company, or approximately 95% of the Company’s common stock. On November 17, 2004, ABC Realty Co. changed its name to China Education Alliance, Inc. On December 13, 2004, China Education Alliance, Inc. consummated the Plan of Exchange with ZHLD and ZHLD’s shareholders. As a result of the Plan of Exchange, the transaction was treated for accounting purposes as a recapitalization of ZHLD.

ZHLD is a technology company engaged in the online education industry in China. Its mission is to promote distance learning development in China, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of elementary education, higher education, vocational education, skill education, continuing education, and professional training programs, and to integrate with the international education system.

ZHLD subsidiary Heilongjiang Zhonghe Education Training Center (“ZHTC”) was registered in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on July 8, 2005 with a registered capital of $60,386 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of ZHLD. ZHLD owns 99% of ZHTC with 1% held in trust by Xiqun Yu for the benefit of China Education Alliance, Inc.

ZHLD also owns 70% of Beijing Hua Yu Hui Zhong Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“BHYHZ”). BHYHZ was formed on September 30, 2006 in the PRC. The remaining 30% interest was given to The Vocational Education Guidance Center of China for no consideration. The 30% interest in BHYHZ that the Company transferred to The Vocational Education Guidance Center of China for no consideration was treated as an intangible asset.

The Company’s principal business is the distribution of educational resources through the Internet. The Company’s website, www.edu-chn.com, is a comprehensive education network platform which is based on network video technology and large data sources of elementary education resources. The Company has a data base comprised of such resources as test papers that were used for secondary education and university level courses as well as video on demand. The data base includes more than 300,000 exams and test papers and courseware for college, secondary and elementary schools. While some of these exams were given in previous years, new instructors are engaged to develop new exams and methodologies for taking the exams. The Company markets this data base under the name “Famous Instructor Test Paper Store.” Also offered, though the website, is video on demand, which includes tutoring of exam papers and exam techniques. The Company compliments the past exams and test papers by providing an interactive platform for students to understand the key points from the papers and exams. Although a number of the resources are available through the website without charge, our subscribers are charged for such services as the “Famous Instructor Test Paper Store” and the video on demand. Subscribers can purchase debit cards which can be used to download material from the website.

 

The Company also provides on-site teaching services in Harbin, which are marketed under the name “Classroom of Famed Instructors.” The Company has a 36,600 square foot training facility in Harbin, Heilonjiang Province, China, which has 17 classrooms and can accommodate up to 1,200 students. These classes, which complement our on-line education services, provide classroom and tutoring to our students. The courses primarily cover the compulsory education curriculum of junior, middle and high school. The Company charges tuition for these classes.

The Company operates in one business segment that of education, in which it operates in two revenue areas of online education and education training centers.

 

2.	Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The accompanying financial statements differ from the financial statements used for statutory purposes in PRC in that they have been prepared in compliance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and reflect certain adjustments, recorded on the entities’ books, which are appropriate to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with GAAP. The principal adjustments are related to revenue recognition, foreign currency translation, deferred taxation, consolidation, and depreciation and valuation of property and equipment and intangible assets.

These notes and accompanying financial statements retroactively reflect a reverse split that became effective October 4, 2007, see Note 18 below. Fractional shares were rounded up resulting in the issuance of 216 shares in excess of the actual conversion rate of 1-to-3.

 

3.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly subsidiaries (ZHLD and ZHTC) and its majority owned subsidiary (BHYHZ). All inter-company transactions and balances were eliminated. Minority interest in the net assets and earnings or losses of BHYHZ are reflected in the caption “Minority interest” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statements of Operations. Cumulative losses applicable to minority interest that exceed the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s capital, the losses in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiaries capital are charged against the majority interest. Subsequent profits earned by a subsidiary under such circumstances that are applicable to the minority interests should be allocated to the majority interest to the extent minority losses have been previously absorbed.

 

Use of estimates - The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods.

Significant estimates include values and lives assigned to acquired intangible assets, reserves for customer returns and allowances, uncollectible accounts receivable, slow moving, obsolete and/or damaged inventory and stock warrant valuation. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity period of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is held in bank accounts in the PRC and is not protected by FDIC insurance or any other similar insurance.

Property and equipment - Property and equipment is stated at the historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets after taking into account a 5% residual value for both financial and income tax reporting purposes as follows:

 

Buildings			20 years
Communication Equipment			10 years
Motor vehicles			5 years
Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment			5 years

F-25

---

Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.

Upon sale or disposal of an asset, the historical cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of such asset are removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the Statements of Operations.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. Based on this assessment there was no impairment at December 31, 2007.

 

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets consist of franchise rights acquired by the Company and are amortized over the lives of the rights agreements, which is five years. The Company evaluates the carrying value of intangible assets during the fourth quarter of each year and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the intangible asset below its carrying amount. There were no impairments recorded during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Long-Lived Assets - The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets under certain circumstances are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. Assets to be disposed of and assets not expected to provide any future service potential to the company are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. To the extent carrying values exceed fair values, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results.

 

Foreign Currency - The Company’s principal country of operations is the PRC. The financial position and results of operations of the Company are recorded in Renminbi (“RMB”) as the functional currency. The results of operations denominated in foreign currency are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the market rate of exchange ruling at that date. The registered equity capital denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution. All translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements into the reporting currency (“U.S. Dollars”) are dealt with as a separate component within shareholders’ equity.

Income recognition - Revenue is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which states that revenue should be recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the service has been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company believes that these criteria are satisfied when customers download prepaid study materials.

 

Prepaid debit cards allow the Company’s subscribers to purchase a predetermined monetary amount of download materials posted on its website. The Company tracks usage of the debit card and records revenue when the debit card is used.

F-26

---

At the time that the prepaid debit card is purchased, the receipt of cash is recorded as deferred revenue. Revenues are recognized in the month when card is used. Unused value relating to debit cards is recognized as revenues when the prepaid debit card has expired.

Interest income is recognized when earned, taking into account the average principal amounts outstanding and the applicable interest rates.

Prepayments Account - Prepaid expenses are primarily comprised of advance payments made for Software development and prepaid advertising. At December 31, 2007, prepaid but not yet aired television advertising totaled $401,918, prepayments to teachers for online materials totaled $143,927, prepayment of rent expense totaled $285,269, consulting fees totaled $109,589, software development totaled $633,562 and other prepaid expenses were $38,514.

Intangible Assets - In connection with the organization of BHYHZ, the Company transferred to an unrelated non-profit, quasi-governmental entity for no consideration a 30% ownership interest in the contributed capital of BHYHZ. The value of the transferred ownership is reflected as intangible assets on the consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2007, intangible asset relating to this transaction was $43,696. The minority ownership interest share of operating losses of BHYHZ are being absorbed by the Company as the minority interest holdings have no basis in their investment. The minority losses absorbed by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $148,377. The Company will commence amortization of this intangible in the year end December 31, 2008 over an estimated useful life of four years.

Deferred Revenue - Deferred revenue reflects the unearned portion of debit cards sold and tuition payments received. Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2007 was $1,245,507.

Advertising - The Company expenses advertising costs for television spots at the time they are air and for all other advertising the first time the respective advertising takes place. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The total advertising expenses incurred for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $1,181,817 and $468,825, respectively.

 

Taxation - Taxation on profits earned in the PRC are calculated on the estimated assessable profits for the year at the rates of taxation prevailing in the PRC after taking into effect the benefits from any special tax credits or “tax holidays” allowed in the PRC.

The Company does not accrue United States income tax on unremitted earnings from foreign operations as it is the Company’s intention to indefinitely invest these earnings in foreign operations.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 is intended to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and prescribes the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Under FIN 48, evaluation of a tax position is a two step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is to measure the tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit where there is a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

The tax position that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met.

F-27

---

Based on all known facts and circumstances and current tax law, the Company believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2007, is not material to its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company also believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2007, if recognized, would not have a material effect on its effective tax rate. The Company further believes that there are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible, based on current Chinese tax law and policy, that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next 12 months producing, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Enterprise income tax

Under the Provisional Regulations of the People’s Republic of China Concerning Income Tax on Enterprises promulgated by the State Council which came into effect on January 1, 1994, income tax is payable by Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises at a rate of 15% of their taxable income. Preferential tax treatment may, however, be granted pursuant to any law or regulations from time to time promulgated by the State Council. ZHLD enjoyed a 100% exemption from enterprise income taxes during 2006 do to its classification as a “Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise.” This exemption ended on December 31, 2006, at which time ZHLD qualified under the current tax structure for a 50% reduction in the statutory enterprise income tax rates for the three years ended and ending December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, 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. The effect of deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Value added tax

The Provisional Regulations of the People’s Republic of China Concerning Value Added Tax promulgated by the State Council came into effect on January 1, 1994. Under these regulations and the Implementing Rules of the Provisional Regulations of the PRC Concerning Value Added Tax, value added tax is imposed on goods sold in or imported into the PRC and on processing, repair and replacement services provided within the PRC.

 

Value added tax payable in the PRC is charged on an aggregated basis at a rate of 13% or 17% (depending on the type of goods involved) on the full price collected for the goods sold or, in the case of taxable services provided, at a rate of 17% on the charges for the taxable services provided, but excluding, in respect of both goods and services, any amount paid in respect of value added tax included in the price or charges, and less any deductible value added tax already paid by the taxpayer on purchases of goods and services in the same financial year.

Software companies are eligible for a 14% VAT tax refund under PRC tax policy. The Company applied for and received VAT refunds of $860,037 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Related party - A related party is a company, or individual, in which a director or an officer has beneficial interests in and in which the Company has significant influence. As of the year ended December 31, 2007 the Company has advanced to their CEO $108,536. These advances are for funds that the CEO needs to develop the Company. It will be expended as these advances are expended by the CEO.

F-28

---

Fair value of financial instruments - The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, commercial notes receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, commercial notes payable, accrued expenses, and other payables approximate their fair values as of December 31, 2007 because of the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.

Recent accounting pronouncements - 

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The provisions of this statement are to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this statement is initially applied, with any transition adjustment recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Therefore, the Company anticipates adopting this standard as of January 1, 2008. Management has not determined the effect, if any, the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158,“Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“SFAS No. 158”), an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). SFAS No. 158 requires (a) recognition of the funded status (measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation) of a benefit plan as an asset or liability in the employer’s statement of financial position, (b) measurement of the funded status as of the employer’s fiscal year-end with limited exceptions, and (c) recognition of changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure the plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. This Statement has no current applicability to the Company’s financial statements. Management adopted this Statement on January 1, 2007, and the adoption of SFAS No. 158 did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.  

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159). This statement permits companies to choose to measure many financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159 on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) will change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141(R) will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141(R) will impact the Company in the event of any future acquisition.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that SFAS 160 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

F-29

---

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 161.

4.	Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk

Substantially all of the Company’s bank accounts are in banks located in the PRC and are not covered by any type of protection similar to that provided by the FDIC on funds held in U.S banks.

The Company is operating in China, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the RMB.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade receivables, the balances of which are stated on the balance sheet. The Company places its cash in high credit quality financial institutions; however, such funds are not insured. The Company sells its products to students who purchase debit cards which can be used to download the Company’s products. Since the Company is paid in advance, it has no receivables and no significant credit risk.

For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of revenues.

As of December 31, 2007 the Company had no insurance coverage of any kind. Accrual for losses is not recognized until such time as an uninsured loss has occurred. The Company has not accrued for any losses as of December 31, 2007.

Payments of dividends may be subject to some restrictions.

 

5.	Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of December 31, 2007, Cash and cash equivalents consist of the following:

Cash on Hand		$	2,652

Under the securities purchase agreement and the Certificate of Designation, relating to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, it is prohibited for warrants to be exercised ,or converted, if such exercise or exercise should result in the holder and its affiliates having beneficial ownership of more than 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder. This limitation may not be waived.

Upon entering into the May 2007 Notes, the Company valued the warrants to their maximum value in proportion to the entire of the May 2007 Notes. The warrants were valued at $1,887,600 using a Black-Scholes valuation model and were treated as loan discounts and amortized immediately to interest expense. The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of the warrants: dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 136.44%; risk-free interest rate of 4.55%; an expected life of five years; stock price of $1.11. In addition to valuing the warrants that would be granted upon the conversion of the notes, the Company valued the beneficial conversion feature of the notes, in connection with the Preferred Stock to be issued upon conversion of the notes, that is ultimately convertible into shares of the Company common stock. This beneficial conversion was valued upon issuance of the May 2007 Notes, it is valued to its maximum proportional value factoring in the discount associated with the warrant grant. The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature at $1,512,400, the maximum value apportionable subsequent to the valuation of the warrants. This beneficial conversion feature was fully amortized in the year ended December 31, 2007.

Upon the conversion of the May 2007 Notes notes, the Company issued 9,189,189 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants based on the principal amount of the notes. There was accrued interest of $40,427, as per the agreement, terminated upon automatic converions of the May 2007 Notes. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $0.37 per share.

Upon entering into the May 2007 Notes, pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, the Company placed in escrow 2,833,333 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Mr. Xiqun Yu, the Company’s chief executive officer and principal shareholder, placed in escrow 944,445 shares of common stock. The securities placed in escrow were to be released, as described below, based on the formula described below.

 

Under the terms of the May 2007 Note if the Company’s pre-tax income for 2007 was less than $0.19941 per share, on a fully-diluted basis (the “Target Number”), the percentage shortfall was to be determined by dividing the amount of the shortfall by the Target Number. If the percentage shortfall was equal to or greater than 33 1/3%, then, with respect to the Company’s escrow shares, the 2,833,333 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was be delivered to the investors and, with respect to Mr. Yu’s escrow shares, the 944,445 shares of common stock was be delivered to the Company for cancellation. If the percentage shortfall was less than 33 1/3%, the escrow agent was to be instructed to:

(i)

with respect to the Company’s escrow shares, deliver to the investors such number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as would have been determined by multiplying the percentage shortfall by 2,833,333 and (ii) deliver to the Company the balance of such shares for cancellation; and

	(ii)	with respect to the shares placed in escrow by Mr. Yu, deliver to the Company such number of shares of common stock as would have been determined by multiplying the percentage shortfall by 944,445 shares, and the Company shall cancel such shares, and (ii) deliver to Mr. Yu the balance of such shares.

Since the Company has achieved the pre-tax income per share milestone set forth in the securities purchase agreement, the Company’s escrow shares will be promptly returned to the Company for cancellation and Mr. Yu’s shares will be promptly released from escrow and returned to him.

The warrants provide that the exercise price of the warrants may be reduced by up to 50% if the Company’s pre-tax income per share of common stock, on a fully-diluted basis, is less than $0.19941. Pre tax-income is defined as income before income taxes determined in accordance with GAAP plus (a) any charges relating to the transaction contemplated by the securities purchase agreement and the registration rights agreement, minus (b) the amount, if any, by which all non-recurring losses or expenses exceed all non-recurring items or income or gain. Pre-tax income shall not be adjusted if all non-recurring items of income or gain exceed all non-recurring losses or expenses. Items shall be deemed to be non-recurring only if they qualify as non-recurring pursuant to GAAP. For determining pre-tax income per share, all shares which are outstanding or which may be issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants and other convertible securities are deemed to be outstanding, regardless of whether the shares would be counted for purposes of computing diluted earnings per shares under GAAP. Since the Company has achieved the pre-tax income per share milestone set forth in the securities purchase agreement, no adjustment in the warrant exercise price will be made.

 

The securities purchase agreement relating to the May 2007 financing, obligated the Company to appoint by August 6, 2007 such number of independent directors that would result in a majority of its directors being independent directors and to establish an audit committee composed solely of independent directors and a compensation committee comprised of a majority of independent directors. Thereafter, the Company’s failure to meet these requirements for a period of 60 days for an excused reason, as defined in the purchase agreement, or 75 days for a reason which is not an excused reason, will result in the imposition of liquidated damages which are payable in cash or additional shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at the election of the investor. The liquidated damages are computed in an amount equal to 12% per annum of the purchase price of the then outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, up to a maximum of $408,000. The Company’s failure to comply with these requirements resulted in liquidated damages of $77,128, which at a liquidation of $0.37 per share resulted in the issuance of 208,456 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock as of October 15, 2007. The investors elected to take payment in stock, and the Company issued the shares in October 2007. As the Series A Convertible Preferred stock are convertible at 3 for 1 share of common stock, the liquidated damages of 208,456 Series A shares is 69,486 common shares with a market value at $4 per share, or $277,944, as of October 15, 2007. The investors waived the right to receive any further liquidated damages for the Company’s failure to comply with these provisions from October 16, 2007 through December 31, 2007. The liquidation damages commence accruing subsequent to December 31, 2007.

In connection with the May 2007 Notes the Company and the investors entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company initially agreed to file by July 7, 2007, a registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the exercise of the warrants. The Company was also initially required to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC not later than November 5, 2007. If these conditions were not met, the agreement initially provided for the payment of liquidated damages to the investors, at a rate of 2,130 of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock per day (which was subject to adjustment based on the number of shares the Company was able to register under the SEC’s rules relating to secondary offerings), with a maximum of 900,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The registration rights agreement was amended to eliminate liquidated damages for failure to file the registration statement when required and to waive any liquidated damages due as a result of the Company’s failure to have the registration statement declared effective through December 31, 2007. Since the Company’s registration statement was declared effective on December 28, 2007, the Company was not obligated to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to the registration rights agreement. The registration rights agreement also provides for additional demand registration rights in the event that the investors are not able to register all of the shares in the initial registration statement. The investors have a right of first refusal on future financings.

Except as expressly provided in the Certificate of Designation or the warrants, included in the May 2007 Notes, no investor may convert the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock or exercise the warrants to the extent that such conversion or exercise would result in beneficial ownership by such investor and its affiliates of more than 4.9% of the then outstanding number of shares of common stock on such date. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. This provision cannot be modified.

On December 6, 2007, the Company issued 87,789 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with cashless exercises of warrants to purchase 127,500 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.50.

14. Operating Risk

 

(a) Country risk

 

Currently, the Company’s revenues are mainly derived from sale of educational products and services in the PRC. The Company hopes to expand its operations in the PRC, however, there are no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve such an expansion successfully. Therefore, a downturn or stagnation in the economic environment of the PRC could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

 

(b) Products risk

 

The Company competes with larger companies, who have greater funds available for expansion, marketing, research and development and the ability to attract more qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that the Company will remain competitive with larger competitors.

(c) Exchange risk

 

The Company can not guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady, therefore there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two comparable periods and because of a fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of Chinese Renminbi (RMB) converted to U.S. dollars on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic environments without notice.

 

(d) Political risk

 

Currently, the PRC is in a period of growth and is openly promoting business development in order to bring more business into the PRC. Additionally, the PRC allows a Chinese corporation to be owned by a United States corporation. If the laws or regulations are changed by the PRC government, the Company’s ability to operate in the PRC could be affected.

(e) Key personnel risk

 

The Company’s future success depends on the continued services of executive management in China. The loss of any of their services would be detrimental to the Company and could have an adverse effect on business development. The Company does not currently maintain key-man insurance on their lives. Future success is also dependent on the ability to identify, hire, train and retain other qualified managerial and other employees. Competition for these individuals is intense and increasing.

(f) Non-compliance with financing requirements

The Company might need to obtain future financing that require timely filing of registration statements, and have declared effective those registration statements, to register the shares being offered by the selling stockholders in future financing. The Company might be subject to liquidated damages and other penalties if they continue to obtain future financing requiring registration statements, and not having those registration statements filed and declared effective in a prompt manner.

15. Subsequent Events

 

On March 17, 2008, the Company’s board of directors approved the repurchase of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our Articles of Incorporation provides that we will indemnify and hold harmless our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

Section 16:21, et seq. of the North Carolina Business Corporation Act, as amended, provides for broad indemnification of directors, officers and employees subject to certain exceptions. A North Carolina corporation may indemnify an individual who is made a party to a proceeding if he conducted himself in good faith, and he reasonably believed that his conduct was in its best interests and that his conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests. However, a corporation can not indemnify in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which a director was adjudged liable to the corporation or any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to him. Section 17:12 of the Act provides for mandatory indemnification of officers to be the same extent as a director, unless on account of his activities which were, at the time taken, known or believed by him to be clearly in conflict with the best interest of the corporation.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue

 

On February 5, 2004, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to C & C Properties Inc. for services in reliance upon Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These shares of common stock were cancelled on February 7, 2005.

On August 10, 2004, the Company issued 33,334 shares of its restricted common stock to US Capital Partners Inc. for services in reliance upon Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933.

(“WEI”) to purchase from Guo seventy (70) issued and outstanding ordinary shares in WEI, representing 70% of the entire issued share capital of WEI. In consideration for the said shares, we issued to Guo 400,000 restricted shares of our common stock. As a result of the transaction, WEI is now a 70% owned subsidiary of the Company.
