3. SUMMARY INFORMATION, RISK FACTORS AND RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED
CHANGES
This
summary highlights selected information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.
While this summary highlights what we consider to be the most important
information about us, you should carefully read this prospectus and the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part in their entirety
before investing in our common stock, especially the risks of investing in our
common stock, which we discuss later in “Risk Factors,” and our financial
statements and related notes beginning on page s 8, F-1 and F-7,
respectively . Unless the context requires otherwise, the words “we,” “us” and
“our” refer to MOQIZONE HOLDING CORPORATION and our subsidiaries.
Our
Company
Through
our Shanghai MoqiZone subsidiary, our primary business focus is to provide an
online game delivery platform delivering contents of online games that are
hosted by us to internet cafes which have installed Netcafe Farmer and/or our
WiMAX equipment in China via our Netcafe Farmer software or our proprietary
MoqiZone WiMAX Network. Our MoqiZone WiMAX Network is a wireless virtual
proprietary network. Netcafe Farmer is an online game client software
auto-update distribution system which enables internet cafés to automatically
update their game client software on real time basis for all the PCs in their
cafés. The combination of MoqiZone WiMAX Network and Netcafe Farmer form the
backbone of our distribution channel for our online games to our targeted
market, which are licensed Internet cafes in cities where the internet cafés
business is more developed. Please see further discussion at page 47 under
“Business – Key Corporate Objectives”. Since November 2009, we have connected
approximately 30 Internet cafes in Chengdu and 3 Internet cafes in Suzhou. We
have not generated any revenue from MoqiZone WiMAX Network and little revenue
was generated from the license fee of Netcafe Farmer as of December 31, 2009 as
we are providing our WiMAX installation to the internet cafes free of charge.
Once a substantial number of WiMAX installed internet cafes are participating in
our business (expected to be approximately 700 internet cafes), we plan to
commence our charged services to the internet cafes.
Netcafe
Farmer is currently servicing approximately 700 internet cafés mainly in Henan,
Hebei, Zhejiang, and Northeast of China with a nominal annual subscription fees
and has also established a strong network with major content suppliers to help
them to promote games in internet cafés.
Our
key business development objectives over the next two years are to grow and
expand our business penetration servicing Internet cafes throughout selected
targeted cities in China. These business objectives will require the build out
of our MoqiZone WiMAX Network, continuous technological development of our
portals including but not limited to www.moqizone.com and
www.53mq.com (“53MQ”), and also aggregation of online digital entertainment
contents (meaning online gaming, videos, movies, music and other online
contents). We will not be able to generate significant revenue until we have a
basic foundation of all these components. Please see further discussion at page
(44) under “Business – Key Operating Objectives”.
Our
principal executive offices are located at Hong Kong and Shanghai, and our
telephone number is +852 34434383.
Our
Independent Auditors Have Expressed Their Concern As To Our Ability to Continue
As A Going Concern
Our
independent auditors, Paritz & Company, P.A., have expressed substantial
doubt concerning our ability to continue as a going concern. As of March 31,
2010, we had a stockholders’ deficiency of approximately $3,800,000 and a
accumulated deficit of roughly $6,100,000. We will continue incurring additional
expenses as we implement our growth in the fiscal year of 2010, which will
reduce our net income in 2010. If we are not able to achieve profit or continue
to raise capital from additional financings to fund our operation, then we
likely will be forced to cease operations and investors will likely lose their
entire investment.
Our
History
Moqizone
Holding Corporation, formerly called Trestle Holdings, Inc., was previously a
non-operating public company which was seeking out suitable candidates for a
business combination with a private company. Trestle originally developed
and sold digital tissue imaging and telemedicine applications linking dispersed
users and data primarily in the healthcare and pharmaceutical
markets.
The
common stock of MoqiZone currently trades on the OTCBB under the symbol
“MOQZ.”
Acquisition
of our Operating Business
On March
15, 2009, Trestle entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with MoqiZone Cayman,
Lawrence Cheung, the principal shareholder of MoqiZone Cayman, and, MKM, our
former principal stockholder (the “Agreement”). MoqiZone Cayman is the
record and beneficial owner of 100% of the share capital of MoqiZone Hong Kong
and MoqiZone Hong Kong is the record and beneficial owner of 100% of the share
capital of Shanghai MoqiZone. On June 1, 2009, pursuant to the Agreement,
and as a result of MoqiZone Hong Kong’s receipt of approximately $4,345,000 in
gross proceeds from our private financing, Trestle became the record and
beneficial owner of 100% of the share capital of MoqiZone Cayman and therefore
own 100% of the share capital of MoqiZone Hong Kong directly and Shanghai
MoqiZone indirectly in exchange for the issuance to Lawrence Cheung and the
other shareholders of MoqiZone Cayman of 10,743 shares of our sought to be
created Series B convertible preferred stock. and such Series B preferred stock
will be automatically converted (on the basis of 1,000 shares of common
stock for each share of Series B preferred stock) into an aggregate of
10,743,000 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 95% of our
issued and outstanding shares of common stock, on a fully-diluted basis, as at
the time of conversion (but prior to the issuance of any other equity or equity
type securities). The remaining 5% of the then outstanding shares of the
Company’s common stock are publicly traded and are owned by approximately 83
shareholders on record (see Reverse Stock Split below at Page 6).
3
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, Eric Stoppenhagen resigned as our Interim
President, effective immediately. Additionally, each of our directors
tendered their resignation as one of our directors, which was on June 19, 2009
to our stockholders. Our Board of Directors appointed Lawrence Cheung to
serve as our Chief Executive Officer, effective June 19, 2009.
Additionally, commencing on that same date, Benjamin Chan was elected to serve
as a director as well.
Recent
Developments
Appointment
of New Director
On
November 3, 2009, we announced that Mr. Paul Lu has been appointed as a director
of our board.
Acquisition
of Netcafe Farmer
On
December 21, 2009, we acquired a client-end software called “Netcafe Farmer”
which was originally developed by Mr. Liu Qian in 2006. It is a client-end
software available in the market that provides an automatic content update
distribution system in internet cafés allowing internet cafés to automatically
update their client-end software on a real time basis for all their computers.
Pursuant to the Agreement, we acquired the ownership of the software “Netcafe
Farmer” from Mr. Liu Qian, including all the intellectual property and all its
existing business has been transferred to Shanghai MoqiZone. The total
consideration paid was RMB650,000 (or approximately US$95,000). By acquiring
Netcafe Farmer, the Company also recruited Mr. Liu Qian and his development team
of 4 people. The incremental salary is approximately $75,500 (RMB516,000) per
annum. It is expected that the income generated from existing Netcafe Farmer
business will substantially subsidize the monthly additional salary
expenses. Under the guidance in FASB ASC 805, the purchase price was allocated
to intangible assets and amortized over its estimated life. No liability was
assumed in this acquisition. “Netcafe Farmer” has operated for approximately 18
months and earned less than 20,000 RMB (or approximately US$3,000) per month.
The total income in the most recentfiscal year was approximately US$36,000. Mr.
Liu Qian has the obligation to transfer all the intellectual property, including
source codes of Netcafe Farmer to the Company.
Netcafe
Farmer is currently servicing approximately 700 internet cafés mainly in Henan,
Hebei, Zhejiang, and Northeast of China and has also established a strong
network with major content suppliers to help them to promote games in internet
cafés. As a result of the foregoing, we will be able to bring tremendous synergy
to the Moqizone online game platform business and improve our services to
internet café operators. The existing brand name “Netcafe Farmer” will be
retained and a new version will be developed to support the Moqizone WiMAX
Network. The acquisition of Netcafe Farmer will also allow us
to cover internet café s, which due to physical limitation cannot install our
WiMAX equipment, via fixed line network. Internet cafe s installed with Netcafe
Farmer will be able to enjoy the same products and services as those that are
installed with WiMAX equipment except the revenue sharing would be different.
For Netcafe Farmer connected internet cafés, they will be sharing less revenue
because the company will have to subcontract fixed line connectivity from major
Telco providers and as a result the cost to the company to deploy such system
will be higher.
Management
has adopted FASB ASC 805-10-25-1 to determine which accounting method should be
used for this acquisition. According to FASB ASC 805-10-25-1, entity shall
determine whether a transaction or other event is a business combination by
applying the definition, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed constitute a business. If the assets acquired are not a business, the
reporting entity shall account for the transaction or other event as an asset
acquisition. An entity shall account for each business combination by applying
the acquisition method. Management has also adopted FASB ASC 805-10-55-4, which
declares that a business consists of inputs and processes applied to those
inputs that have the ability to create outputs. Since Netcafe Farmer has all
three elements, management believes that it constitutes a business and we
accounted for it under the acquisition method.
According
to rule 11-01 of Regulation S-X, financial information and pro forma financial
information of an acquired business may be required depending on the level of
significance in accordance with Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to Rule
11-01(b) and Rule 1-02(w), the significance test, (1) The total net income of
Netcafe Farmer in the most resent fiscal year was approximately US$36,000, which
didn’t exceed 20 percent of the net loss of the company and its subsidiaries
consolidated for the most recently completed fiscal year, which was
approximately US$913,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008; (2) the
company’s investment in “Netcafe Farmer” was approximately US$95,000 which was
about 20 percent of the total assets of the company and its subsidiaries
consolidated as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year and we
believe the effect is immaterial; and (3) the total asset of “Netcafe Farmer”
didn’t exceed 20 percent of the total assets of the company as of the end of the
most recently completed fiscal year. As a result, the business combination was
not considered to be significant and we were not required to file pro forma
financial information.
Agreements
with Win’s Entertainment Ltd.
We have
recently established partnership with Win’s Entertainment Limited (“Win’s”), a
major motion picture producing company in Hong Kong through a series of
proprietary content agreements. In November 2009, we were contracted to develop
the online game for Win’s movie, Tiger Tang 2
(“Tiger Tang 2 Game”) and we also acquired the exclusive rights from Win’s for
publishing Tiger Tang 2 Game. We are also currently in discussion with Win’s to
develop online games for Win’s other movies as well as publish those
games.

The
2010 Financing
We
completed a private equity financing of $1,956,200 on March 29, 2010, with 7
accredited investors. Net proceeds from the offering are approximately
$1,760,400. Pursuant to the financing, we issued a total of 869,422 units of our
securities at $2.25 per unit. Each Unit consists of (i) one (1) share of the
Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
“Preferred Shares”), convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock,
par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) a Series C Warrant
(the “Series C Warrant”) and Series D Warrant (the “Series D Warrant”),
collectively the “Warrants”), with the total amount of Warrants of each Series
exercisable to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock as shall be equal
to fifty percent (50%) of the number of Units purchased in the Offering. Each of
the Warrants has a term of three (3) years.
In
connection with this financing, we paid cash compensation to a placement agent
in the amount of $195,620. Additionally, in connection with this financing, we
granted warrants to purchase up to 86,942 shares of common stock, Series C
Warrants to purchase up to 43,471 shares of common stock and Series D Warrants
to purchase 43,471 shares of common stock to the placement agent or its
designees. These warrants have the same terms as the warrants issued to
Investors that are included in the Units.
The
MobiZone Hong Kong Financing
On June
1, 2009, we completed a private financing of $4,345,000, with 10 accredited
investors (the “June 1 Financing”), which initially included $300,000 that we
received in October 2008 pursuant to a Convertible Loan Agreement with two
accredited investors (the “Convertible Notes”), however, in accordance with the
terms of the Convertible Notes, on August 20, 2009, the holders of the
Convertible Notes elected to be repaid the principal of the Notes rather than
convert the Convertible Notes into the same securities issued to the investors
pursuant to the June 1 Financing. The net proceeds from the June 1 Financing
were approximately $3,337,000 after taking into account the fees and expenses of
the Offering as well as the repayment of the Convertible Notes.
Consummation of the June 1 Financing was a condition to the completion of
the Share Exchange. The securities offered in the June 1 Financing was
sold pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by
and among the Company, MoqiZone Cayman, Cheung, MKM and each of the purchasers
thereto (the “Investors”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we issued a
total of approximately 405 Units of securities consisting of (a) $10,000 of 8%
exchangeable convertible notes of MobiZone Hong Kong due March 31, 2011 (the
“Notes”), (b) three year Class A callable warrants (the “Class A Warrants”) to
purchase 2,778 shares of common stock of Trestle, at an exercise price of $2.50
per share, and (c) three year Class B non-callable warrants (the “Class B
Warrants”) to purchase 2,778 shares of common stock of the Company at an
exercise price of $3.00 per share. The exercise prices of the Warrants are
subject to weighted average and other anti-dilution adjustments. Pursuant
to the sale of approximately 405 Units, we issued an aggregate of approximately
$4,045,000 of Notes, Class A Warrants to purchase up to 1,123,614 shares of
common stock and Class B Warrants to purchase up to 1,123,614 shares of common
stock will be issued. The Notes were and will be issued by MobiZone Hong
Kong and the Warrants will be issued by Trestle (now Moqizone Holding
Corporation).
On August
11, 2009, we completed a further private equity financing of $900,000 with 3
accredited investors (the “August 11 Financing”). Net proceeds from the
August 11 Financing are approximately $800,000. Pursuant to the August 11
Financing, we issued a total of approximately 90 Units of securities each
consisting of (a) $10,000 of 8% exchangeable convertible notes of MobiZone Hong
Kong due March 31, 2011 (the “Notes”), (b) three year Class A callable
warrants (the “Class A Warrants”) to purchase 2,778 shares of common stock of
Moqizone, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, and (c) three year Class B
non-callable warrants (the “Class B Warrants”) to purchase 2,778 shares of
common stock of Moqizone at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. The
exercise prices of the Warrants are subject to weighted average and other
anti-dilution adjustments. Pursuant to the sale of approximately 90 Units,
we issued an aggregate of approximately $900,000 of Notes, Class A Warrants
to purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock and Class B Warrants to
purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock will be issued. All of the
securities issued in the August 11 Financing contain the same terms and
conditions as the securities issued to the investors of the June 1 Financing
(the “August 11 Financing”; and together with the June 1 Financing, the
“Financings”).
We raised
a total of $4,945,000 from 11 accredited investors from the Financings
after repayment of the Convertible Notes. As a result of the Financings,
we issued a total of approximately 494.5 Units of securities each consisting of
(a) the Notes, (b) the Class A Warrants, and (c) the Class B Warrants.
Pursuant to the sale of approximately 494.5 Units, we issued an aggregate of
approximately $4,945,000 of Notes, Class A Warrants to purchase up to 1,373,614
shares of common stock and Class B Warrants to purchase up to 1,373,614 of
common stock will be issued. The net proceeds from the Financings are
to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. We are
obligated to file a registration statement within 150 days of the second
closing, providing for the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the
securities issued pursuant to the Financings.
In
connection with the June 1 Financing and August 11 Financing, we granted
warrants to purchase up to 582,779 shares of common stock respectively to
Tripoint Global Equities, LLC, the placement agent or its designees. These
warrants have the same terms as the warrants issued to Investors and included in
the Units. The placement agent received a total of 582,779 warrants to
purchase up to 582,779 shares of our common stock from the Financing. These
warrants have the same terms as the warrants issued to Investors and
included in the Units.
We
completed the initial closing of a private equity financing of approximately
$247,000 on August 27, 2010 with 2 accredited investors pursuant to a Securities
Purchase Agreement. Net proceeds from the offering, are approximately
$207,000. Pursuant to the financing, we issued a total of 11 units of
our securities at $22,500 per unit. Each Unit consists of (i) an 8%
Convertible Note, convertible into shares of the Common Stock, (ii) a Series E
Warrant, and (iii) a Series F Warrant, each such warrant gives the holder the

RISK
FACTORS
Investment
in our securities involves risk. You should carefully consider the risks we
describe below before deciding to invest. The market price of our securities
could decline due to any of these risks, in which case you could lose all or
part of your investment. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the
other information included in this Memorandum. You should pay particular
attention to the fact that a substantial amount of our operations in China are
subject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from
that of the United States. Our business, financial condition or results of
operations could be affected materially and adversely by any of the risks
discussed below and any others not foreseen. This discussion contains
forward-looking statements.
7
Risks
Related to Our Business and Industry
We
depend on the People’s Liberation Army’s or PLA’s s approval and our cooperation
relationship with Tai Ji as low cost WiMAX network provider. The
termination or alteration of the PLA’s approval or the termination of our
cooperation relationship with Tai Ji would materially and adversely impact our
business operations and financial conditions.
Tai Ji
was authorized to exclusively use the 3.5GHz radio frequency resources by an
approval letter issued by the PLA Resource Office dated October 31, 2007 (“PLA
Approval Letter”). However, we cannot assure you that (i) the PLA Resource
Office or its higher authority will not revoke their approval by issuing another
letter; (ii) whether the PLA Resource Office has the authority to grant an
“exclusive” right to Tai Ji to use the 3.5GHz radio frequency resources; (iii)
whether the 3.5GHz radio frequency resources authorized by the PLA Approval
Letter can be widely used for commercial purpose. If the PLA Approval Letter is
revoked, the Company may be forced to purchase T1 ADSL bandwidth from the
incumbent telecom carriers, which will increase our operational cost and
materially and adversely impact our business operations and financial
conditions.
Notwithstanding
the Cooperation Agreement (see further below the discussion of “VIE” at Page 44)
among Tai Ji, SZ Alar and Shanghai MoqiZone and the fact that there are
common members among the management teams of the Company and Tai Ji, we cannot
assure you that (i) the cooperation relationship between Shanghai MoqiZone and
Tai Ji will be maintained, and (ii) the Cooperation Agreement will be fully
performed. In the event that Tai Ji breaches the Cooperation
Agreement, or we cannot get a renewal of the cooperation relationship
after it expires, we will not be able to use the 3.5GHz radio
frequency resources, which could cause significant disruptions to our
business operations or may materially adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Significant
changes in policies or guidelines of the PLA may result in lower revenue or
additional costs for us and materially adversely affect our financial condition
or results of operations.
It is
possible that the PLA will from time to time issue policies or guidelines,
requesting or stating its preference for certain actions to be taken by Tai Ji
using its networks, including changing the usable frequency from 3400-3430 MHz
and 3500-3530 MHz to other range. Due to our reliance on the PLA as low-cost
network resources provider, a significant change in its policies or guidelines
may have a material effect on us. Such change in policies or guidelines may
result in lower revenues or additional operating costs for us, and we cannot
assure you that our financial condition and results of operation will not be
materially adversely affected by any policy or guideline change by the PLA in
the future.
If
the PRC government believes that the agreements that establish the structure for
operating our business do not comply with PRC government restrictions on foreign
investment in the value-added telecommunications industry, we could be subject
to severe penalties.
In
December 2001, in order to comply with China’s commitments with respect to its
entry into the World Trade Organization, or WTO, the State Council promulgated
the Administrative Rules for Foreign Investments in Telecommunications
Enterprises, or the Telecom FIE Rules. The Telecom FIE Rules set forth detailed
requirements with respect to capitalization, investor qualifications and
application procedures in connection with the establishment of a
foreign-invested telecommunications enterprise. Pursuant to the Telecom FIE
Rules, the ultimate ownership interest of a foreign investor in a foreign-funded
telecommunications enterprise that provides value-added telecommunication
services, shall not exceed 50%.
We
(including Shanghai MoqiZone), are considered as foreign persons or
foreign-invested enterprises under PRC laws. As a result, we operate our
wireless value-added services in China through the VIE, which is owned by PRC
citizens. We do not have any direct equity interest in the operating company but
instead, the Company will only share its economic benefits derived through
contractual arrangements, including agreements on provision of services, license
of intellectual property, and certain corporate governance and shareholder
rights matters. The VIE conducts portion of our operations and generates portion
of our revenues. It also holds the licenses (including the Content Provider
License) and approvals that are essential to our business.
There are
substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of
current or future PRC laws and regulations, including but not limited to the
laws and regulations governing the validity and enforcement of our contractual
arrangements. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that PRC regulatory authorities
will not determine that our contractual arrangements with the VIE violate PRC
laws or regulations.
If we or
our operating company were found to violate any existing or future PRC laws or
regulations, the relevant regulatory authorities would have broad discretion in
dealing with such violation, including, without limitation, the
following:
|
(a)
|
levying
fines;
|
|
(b)
|
confiscating our or our operating
company’s income;
|
|
(c)
|
revoking our or our operating
company’s business licenses and other operating
licenses;
|
|
(d)
|
shutting down the servers or
blocking our or our operating company’s web
sites;
|
8
(e)
|
restricting or prohibiting our
use of the proceeds from this offering to finance our business and
operations in China;
|
(f)
|
requiring us to restructure our
ownership structure or operations;
and/or
|
(g)
|
requiring us or our operating
company to discontinue our wireless value-added services
business.
|
Any of
these or similar actions could cause significant disruptions to our business
operations or render us unable to conduct our business operations and may
materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Our
contractual arrangement with the VIE and their shareholders may not be as
effective in providing operational control as direct ownership of these
businesses and may be difficult to enforce. We were not able to establish
operations control of SZ Mellow under prior agreements.
PRC laws
and regulations currently restrict foreign ownership of companies that provide
value-added telecommunication services, which include wireless value-added
services and Internet content services. As a result, we conduct a portion of our
operations and could generate revenues through the VIE pursuant to a series of
contractual arrangements with it and its respective shareholders. These
agreements may not be as effective in providing control over our operations as
direct ownership of these businesses. Direct ownership would allow us, for
example, to directly exercise our rights as a shareholder to effect changes in
the board of the VIE, which, in turn, could affect changes, subject to any
applicable fiduciary obligations, at the management level. However, under
the current contractual arrangements, as a legal matter, if the VIE or its
shareholders fail to perform their respective obligations under these
contractual arrangements, we may have to incur substantial costs and expend
significant resources to enforce those arrangements, and rely on legal remedies
under PRC law. These remedies may include seeking specific performance or
injunctive relief, and claiming damages, any of which may not be effective. For
example, if the VIE’s shareholders refuse to transfer their equity interest in
the VIE to us or our designee when we exercise the purchase option pursuant to
these contractual arrangements, or if any of those individuals otherwise act in
bad faith towards us, we may have to take legal action to compel them to fulfill
their contractual obligations. This was the case with regard to the
shareholders of SZ Mellow. When these persons refused to cooperate with
our management with regard to the use and operation of SZ Mellow’s
ISP license, we were forced to hire PRC litigation counsel to terminate the
agreements with SZ Mellow. Additionally, we were forced to seek out a new
VIE company in order to continue to operate our business as planned.
Although we were able to enter into new agreements with SZ Alar and, as a
result, our dispute with the owners of SZ Mellow did not materially disrupt our
business, we cannot guarantee that we will not have similar problems with SZ
Alar in the future or that we will be able to prevent further disruption to our
business and operations as a result.
Additionally,
all of these contractual arrangements are governed by PRC laws and provide for
the resolution of disputes through arbitration in the PRC. Accordingly, these
contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC laws and any disputes
would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. The legal environment
in the PRC is not as developed as in other jurisdictions, such as the United
States. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit our
ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. In the event we are unable to
enforce these contractual arrangements, which relate to critical aspects of our
operations, we may be unable to exert effective control over the VIE
and our ability to conduct our business may be negatively
affected.
If we are unable to get additional
online games that are attractive to players and result in overall revenue
growth, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be
materia lly and
adversely affected and our ability to recover related costs may become
limited .
In order
to maintain our long-term profitability and financial and operational success,
we must continually get new online games that are attractive to players. To
date, we have signed up 4 online game companies with approximately 30 games.
These games may or may not attract players away from other games companies and
may or may not be profitable or popular among the online game players in China.
If these games fail to attract new players and fail to drive our online game
revenues, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be
materially and adversely affected.
Our
ability to purchase or license successful online games will depend on their
availability at acceptable terms, including price, our ability to compete
effectively against other potential purchasers or licensees to attract the
developers of these games, and our ability to obtain government approvals
required for the purchase or licensing and operation of these
games.
The games
that we purchase or license may not be attractive to players, may be viewed by
the regulatory authorities as not complying with content restrictions, may not
be launched as scheduled or may not compete effectively with our competitors’
games. Additionally, new technologies in our competitors’ online game
programming or operations could render our games obsolete or unattractive to
players, thereby limiting our ability to recover related product development
costs, purchase costs and licensing fees. If we are not able to develop,
purchase or license successfully online games appealing to players, our future
profitability and growth prospects will decline.
9
Our operating results may be impacted
materially by the valuation of our warrants.
The
warrants that each investor received as a result of our June 1 and August 11
Financings and the conversion of the convertible notes contained a down round
protection that allows the price of the Warrants to be reduced in the event the
Company issues any additional shares of common stock at a price per share less
than the then-applicable warrant price. As such and in accordance with the
accounting guidelines, we valued the warrants as a derivative financial
instrument and the corresponding liabilities were entered onto our consolidated
balance sheet, measured at fair value (at issuance date) and re-measured at fair
value (at each reporting period) with changes in fair value recorded in earnings
at each reporting period. The Company used a Black-Scholes option
pricing model, which uses the underlying price of our common stock as one of the
inputs, to determine the fair value at issuance date and each subsequent
reporting period. As a result, the fair value of the warrants is
impacted by changes in the market price of our common stock. The
market price of our Common Stock can be volatile and is subject to factors
beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to,
changes in financial estimates by industry and securities analysts, conditions
or trends in the industry in which we operate, the market of OTC Bulletin Board
quoted stocks in general and/or sales of our common stock. As a
result, the value of our common stock may change from measurement date to
measurement date thereby resulting in fluctuations in the fair value of the
warrants that can materially impact our operating
results.
Our
limited operating history and the unproven long-term potential of our business
model make evaluating our business and prospects difficult.
We were
incorporated in August 29, 2007. As our operating history is limited, the
revenue and income potential of our business and markets are yet to be fully
proven. In addition, we are exposed to risks, uncertainties, expenses and
difficulties frequently encountered by companies at an early stage of
development. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to our ability
to:
|
a.
|
maintain our current, and
develop new, cooperation
arrangements;
|
|
b.
|
increase the number of our
users by expanding the type, scope and technical sophistication of the
content and services we
offer;
|
|
c.
|
respond effectively to
competitive pressures;
|
|
d.
|
respond in a timely manner to
technological changes or resolve unexpected network
interruptions;
|
|
e.
|
comply with changes to
regulatory requirements;
|
|
f.
|
maintain adequate control of
our costs and expenses;
|
|
g.
|
increase awareness of our
brand and continue to build user loyalty;
and
|
|
h.
|
attract and retain qualified
management and
employees.
|
We cannot
predict whether we will meet internal or external expectations of our future
performance. If we are not successful in addressing these risks and
uncertainties, our business, financial condition and results of operations may
be materially adversely affected.
Our
success depends on attracting and retaining qualified personnel.
We depend
on a core management and key executives. In particular, we rely on the
expertise and experience of our founders and senior officers, in our business
operations, and their personal relationships with our other significant
shareholders, employees, the regulatory authorities, our clients, our suppliers
and the PLA. If any of them, become unable or unwilling to continue in their
present positions, or if they join a competitor or form a competing company in
contravention of their employment agreements, we may not be able to identify a
replacement easily, our business may be significantly disrupted and our
financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely
affected. We do not currently maintain key-man life insurance for any of our key
personnel.
We
may not be able to continue as a going concern because it’s not clear that they
will be able to indefinitely raise enough resources to stay
operational
Our
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. We have sustained a loss since inception of
approximately US$4,947,000 and, as of June 30, 2010, have only generated a
nominal amount of revenue from Netcafe Farmer software license fee. In addition,
the Company had cash or cash equivalents of approximately US$901,000 as of June
30, 2010. On March 29, 2010, we completed a private equity financing of
$1,956,200, with 7 accredited investors. Net proceeds from the offering, are
approximately $1,760,400. Although we expect that the net proceeds of the
private placement described above, together with our available funds and funds
generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated needs
for 12 months, we will need to obtain additional capital to continue to grow our
business. We currently estimate that we will need an additional $12,000,000 in
order to completely deploy our online game delivery platform in our targeted
cities by 2013. Our cash requirements may vary materially from those currently
anticipated due to changes in our operations, including our marketing and
distribution activities, product development, and expansion of our personnel and
the timing of our receipt of revenues. Our ability to obtain additional
financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market
conditions, as well as our business performance. There can be no assurance that
we will be successful in our efforts to arrange additional financing on terms
satisfactory to us or at all.If we do not receive additional financing, we may
have to restrict or discontinue our business. Our success is dependent on future
financings. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, our independent auditors,
Paritz & Company, P.A., have expressed substantial doubt concerning our
ability to continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2010, we had a
stockholders’ deficiency of approximately $2,552,000. We will continue incurring
additional expenses as we implement our growth in the fiscal year of 2010, which
will reduce our net income in 2010. If we are not able to achieve profit or
continue to raise capital from additional financings to fund our operation, then
we likely will be forced to cease operations and investors will likely lose
their entire investment.
10
We
may not be able to continue to operate our business if we are unable to attract
additional operating capital.
On
March 29, 2010, we completed a private equity financing whereby the net proceeds
were approximately $1,760,400.00. In addition to this financing, we estimate
that we will need at least $1.5 million of general working capital to
fund our basic operations until October 2011. Based on our current
business development plans and in addition to our general working capital needs,
we estimate that we will need approximately US$2 million of additional financing
to fund our WiMAX deployment to the point where our cash flow from operating
activities will be positive, a further US$1 million to aggregate and license
contents and $1 million to develop the Viva Red mobile game platform. These
factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as
a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Although we
expect that the net proceeds of the private placement together with
approximately $5.5 million of additional funding as described above will be
sufficient to fund our working capital needs, develop Viva Red and allow
deployment of WiMAX until it becomes cash flow positive, we will need to obtain
additional capital to execute our overall business. We currently estimate that
we will need an additional US$10 million in order to completely deploy our
online game delivery platform in all targeted cities by 2014. Our cash
requirements may vary materially from those currently anticipated due to changes
in our operations, including our marketing and distribution activities, product
development, and expansion of our personnel and the timing of our receipt of
revenues.
Although
we expect that the net proceeds of the private placement together with $3
million of additional funding as described above will be sufficient to fund our
WiMAX deployment until it becomes cash flow positive, we will need to obtain
additional capital to execute overall business. We currently estimate that we
will need an additional $9,000,000 in order to completely deploy our online game
delivery platform in all targeted cities by 2013. Our cash requirements may vary
materially from those currently anticipated due to changes in our operations,
including our marketing and distribution activities, product development, and
expansion of our personnel and the timing of our receipt of revenues. Our
ability to obtain additional financing in the future will depend in part upon
the prevailing capital market conditions, as well as our business performance.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to arrange
additional financing on terms satisfactory to us or at all Accordingly, our
business and operations are substantially dependent on our ability to raise
additional capital to: (i) supply working capital for the expansion of sales and
the costs of marketing of new and existing products; and (ii) fund ongoing
selling, general and administrative expenses of our business. If we do not
receive additional financing prior to December 2010, we may have to restrict or
discontinue our business. Our success is dependent on future
financings.
Accordingly,
our current level of our revenues is not sufficient to finance all of our
operations on a long-term basis. We continue to attempt to raise additional debt
or equity financing as our operations do not produce sufficient cash to offset
the cash drain of our general operating and administrative expenses.
Accordingly, our business and operations are substantially dependent on our
ability to raise additional capital to: (i) supply working capital for the
expansion of sales and the costs of marketing of new and existing products; and
(ii) fund ongoing selling, general and administrative expenses of our business.
Our ability to obtain additional financing in the future will depend in part
upon the prevailing capital market conditions, as well as our business
performance. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts
to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to us or at all. If we do
not receive additional financing prior to December 2010, we may have to restrict
or discontinue our business, including reducing the name of target internet
cafes, eliminating some proposed online gaming software and /or reducing
staffing. Our success is dependent on future financings.
We
may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property, and we may be
exposed to infringement claims by third parties.
We
believe the copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade secrets and other
intellectual property we use are important to our business, and any unauthorized
use of such intellectual property by third parties may adversely affect our
business and reputation. We rely on the intellectual property laws and
contractual arrangements with our employees, clients, business partners and
others to protect such intellectual property rights. Third parties may be able
to obtain and use such intellectual property without authorization. Furthermore,
the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property in
the Internet and wireless value-added related industries in China is uncertain
and still evolving, and these laws may not protect intellectual property
rights to the same extent as the laws of some other jurisdictions, such as the
United States. Moreover, litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce
our intellectual property rights, which could result in substantial costs
and diversion of our resources, and have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
The
laws and regulations governing the value-added telecommunications and Internet
industry in China are developing and subject to future changes. Substantial
uncertainties exist as to the interpretation and implementation of those laws
and regulations.
Our
digital entertainment services are subject to general regulation regarding
telecommunication services. In recent years, the PRC government has begun to
promulgate laws and regulations applicable to Internet-related services and
activities, many of which are relatively new and untested and subject to future
changes. In addition, various regulatory authorities of the central PRC
government, such as the State Council, the MIIT (formerly known as the
Ministry of Information Industry, or MII), the State Administration of Industry
and Commerce, or SAIC, and the Ministry of Public Security, are empowered to
issue and implement rules to regulate certain aspects of Internet-related
services and activities. Furthermore, some local governments have also
promulgated local rules applicable to Internet companies operating within their
respective jurisdictions. As the Internet industry itself is at an early stage
of development in China, there will likely be new laws and regulations
promulgated in the future to address issues that may arise from time to time. As
a result, uncertainties exist regarding the interpretation
and implementation of current and future PRC Internet laws and
regulations.
The VIE
has obtained various value-added telecommunication service licenses from the
MIIT or its local branches, and Tai Ji has obtained PLA Authorization, for the
provisions of their services in relation to the usage of 3.5GHz. Tai Ji will
apply for licenses for each and all WiMAX base stations when they are built up.
These licenses will be held by Tai Ji and Tai Ji will license these stations to
the VIE. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain or maintain
these licenses or that the regulatory authorities will not take any action
against us if we fail to obtain or maintain them. If the VIE and/or Tai Ji fails
to obtain or maintain any of the required licenses or permits respectively, it
may be subject to various penalties, including redressing the
violations, confiscation of income, imposition of fines or even suspension
of its operations. Any of these measures could materially disrupt our operations
and materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations.
The
MIIT issued regulations that regulate and limit ownership and investment in
internet and other value-added telecommunications businesses in the PRC which
may limit the type of businesses we will be able to acquire.
On July
13, 2006, the MII issued a notice with the purpose of increasing the regulation
of foreign investment in and operations of value added telecom services which
include internet and telecommunication businesses in the PRC. The regulations
require Chinese entities to own and control the following: (i)
internet domain names, (ii) registered trademarks, and (iii) servers and
other infrastructure equipment used to host and operate web-sites and conduct
businesses. The ownership requirements functionally limit foreign direct
and indirect ownership and control of the intellectual property of these
businesses even when attempted through various parallel control, licensing, use
and management agreements. It is anticipated that these regulations will be
strictly enforced, and the government has provided that the new regulations
apply retroactively and provide for audit procedures. The failure to comply may
cause the MIIT to terminate a telecommunication license or otherwise modify
existing agreements or require the disposition of the assets by the foreign
entity. Any anticipated foreign investment in such businesses will be subject to
prior approval by the MIIT, and it is expected that approval for investment may
not be easily obtained for foreign investment in these businesses unless in
strict compliance. Therefore, investment by us in this sector may not be
actively pursued because certain assets may not be acquirable and accounting
consolidation may be restricted or not permitted as a result of an unfavorable
but permitted transaction structure.

The
PRC government may prevent us from distributing, and we may be subject to
liability for content that any of them believes is inappropriate.
China has
promulgated regulations governing telecommunication service providers, Internet
access and the distribution of online games and other information. In the past,
the PRC government has stopped the distribution of information over the Internet
that it believes to violate Chinese law, including content that is obscene,
incites violence, endangers national security, is contrary to the national
interest or is defamatory.
The
growth of our business may be adversely affected due to public concerns over the
security and privacy of confidential user information.
The
growth of our business may be inhibited if the public concern over the security
and privacy of confidential user information transmitted over the Internet and
wireless networks is not adequately addressed. Our service quality may
decline and our business may be adversely affected if significant breaches of
network security or user privacy occur.
We
could be liable for breaches of security of our website and third-party online
payment system, which may have a material adverse effect on our reputation and
business.
Secure
transmission of confidential information, such as customers’ debit and credit
card numbers and expiration dates, personal information and billing addresses,
over public networks, including our official game website, is essential for
maintaining consumer confidence. We currently provide password protection, IP
address verification and hardware verification for all of player accounts. While
we have not experienced any breach of our security measures to date, such
current security measures may be inadequate. In addition, we expect that an
increasing number of our sales will be conducted over the Internet as result of
the growing use of online payment systems. We also expect that associated online
crime will likely increase accordingly. We must therefore be prepared to
increase our security measures and efforts so that our customers have confidence
in the reliability of the online payment system that we use. We do not have
control over the security measures of our third-party online payment operator,
and its security measures may not be adequate at present or may not be
adequate with the expected increased usage of online payment systems. We could
be exposed to litigation and possible liability if we fail to secure
confidential customer information, which could harm our reputation, ability to
attract customers and ability to encourage players to purchase our game
points.
Unexpected
network interruptions, security breaches or computer virus attacks could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Any
failure to maintain the satisfactory performance, reliability, security and
availability of our network infrastructure may cause significant harm to our
reputation and our ability to attract and maintain players. All our game servers
and all of the servers which handle log-in, billing and data back-up matters are
hosted and maintained by third party service providers. Major risks involved in
such network infrastructure include any break-downs or system failures resulting
in a sustained shutdown of all or a material portion of our servers,
including failures which may be attributable to sustained power shutdowns, or
efforts to gain unauthorized access to our systems causing loss or corruption of
data or malfunctions of software or hardware.
Our
network systems are also vulnerable to damage from fire, flood, power loss,
telecommunications failures, computer viruses, hacking and similar events. Any
network interruption, virus or other inadequacy that causes interruptions in the
availability of the online games or deterioration in the quality of access
to the online games could reduce our players’ satisfaction and ultimately harm
our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any
security breach caused by hackings, which involve efforts to gain unauthorized
access to information or systems, or to cause intentional malfunctions or loss
or corruption of data, software, hardware or other computer equipment, and the
inadvertent transmission of computer viruses could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not
maintain insurance policies covering losses relating to our network systems and
we do not have business interruption insurance.
Future
acquisitions may have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our
business.
Selective
acquisitions form part of our strategy to expand our business. We do not,
however, have any prior experience integrating any new companies into ours, and
we believe that integration of a new company’s operation and personnel will
require significant management attention. The diversion of our management’s
attention from our business and any difficulties encountered in the integration
process could have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our
business.
We may
pursue acquisitions of companies, technologies and personnel that are
complementary to our existing business. However, our ability to grow through
future acquisitions or investments or hiring will depend on the availability of
suitable acquisition and investment candidates at an acceptable cost, our
ability to compete effectively to attract these candidates, and the availability
of financing to complete larger acquisitions. We may face significant
competition in executing our growth strategy. Future acquisitions
or investments could result in potential dilutive issuances of equity
securities or incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or impairment of
goodwill and other intangible assets, any of which could adversely affect our
financial condition and results of operations. The benefits of an acquisition or
investment may also take considerable time to develop and any particular
acquisition or investment may not produce the intended benefits.
12
Future
acquisitions would also expose us to potential risks, including risks associated
with the assimilation of new operations, technologies and personnel, unforeseen
or hidden liabilities, the diversion of resources from our existing businesses,
sites and technologies, the inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset
the costs and expenses of acquisitions, and potential loss of, or harm to, our
relationships with employees, customers, licensors and other suppliers as a
result of the integration of new businesses.
We
may be subject to infringement and misappropriation claims in the future, which
may cause us to incur significant expenses, pay substantial damages and be
prevented from providing our services or technologies.
Our
success depends, in part, on our ability to carry out our business without
infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. We may be subject
to litigation involving claims of patent, copyright or trademark infringement,
or other violations of intellectual property rights of third parties. Future
litigation may cause us to incur significant expenses, and third-party claims,
if successfully asserted against us, may cause us to pay substantial damages,
seek licenses from third parties, pay ongoing royalties, redesign our services
or technologies, or prevent us from providing services or technologies subject
to these claims. Even if we were to prevail, any litigation would likely be
costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of our management and key
personnel from our business operations.
The
successful operation of our business depends upon the performance and
reliability of the Internet infrastructure and fixed telecommunication networks
in China.
Our
business depends, in part, on the performance and reliability of the Internet
infrastructure in China. Almost all access to the Internet is maintained through
state-owned telecommunication operators under the administrative control and
regulatory supervision of the MIIT. In addition, the national networks in China
are connected to the Internet through international gateways controlled by the
PRC government. These international gateways are the only channels through which
a domestic user can connect to the Internet. A more sophisticated Internet
infrastructure may not be developed in China. We or the players of online games
may not have access to alternative networks in the event of disruptions,
failures or other problems with China’s Internet infrastructure. As one of
our important business partners are Internet cafés in China, intensified
government regulation of Internet cafés could limit our ability to maintain or
increase our net revenues and expand our customer base.
We rely
on Internet cafes as our business partners in China to provide our services to
the final users. Starting in 2001, the Chinese government began tightening its
supervision of Internet cafés, closing unlicensed Internet cafés, requiring
those remaining open to install software to prevent access to sites deemed
subversive and requiring web portals to sign a pledge not to host subversive
sites. In February 2007, 14 PRC national government authorities, including the
MIIT, the Ministry of Culture and the General Administration of Press and
Publication, jointly issued a notice suspending nationwide approval for the
establishment of new Internet cafés in 2007 and enhancing the punishment for
Internet cafés admitting minors. This suspension may continue indefinitely.
Furthermore, the Chinese government’s policy, which encourages
the development of a limited number of national and regional Internet café
chains and discourages the establishment of independent Internet cafés, may slow
down the growth of Internet cafés.
As
Internet cafés are the primary venue for users to use our service, any reduction
in the number, or any slowdown in the growth, of Internet cafés in China will
limit our ability to maintain or increase our net revenues and expand our
customer base, which will in turn materially and adversely affect our business
and results of operations.
Our
business may be adversely affected by public opinion and government policies in
China.
Internet
cafés, which are currently the most important outlets for online games, have
been criticized by the general public in China for having exerted a negative
influence on young people. Due primarily to such adverse public reaction,
regulators in China have tightened their regulation of Internet café operations
through, among other things, suspending the issuance of new operating licenses
and further reducing the hours during which the Internet cafés are permitted to
remain open for business. Also, local and higher-level governmental authorities
may from time to time decide to more strictly enforce age limits and other
requirements relating to Internet cafés as a result of the occurrence of, and
the media attention on, gang fights, arson and other incidents in or related to
Internet cafés. As most of our customers access online games from Internet
cafés, any restrictions on Internet café operations could result in a reduction
of the amount of time the customers spend on online games or a reduction in or
slowdown in the growth of the player base. Moreover, any adverse public reaction
to the online game industry may discourage players from spending too much
time playing online games, which could limit the growth of or reduce our net
revenues. In addition, it is also possible that the Chinese government
authorities may decide to adopt more stringent policies to monitor the online
game industry as a result of adverse public reaction or otherwise. Any such
restrictions on online game playing would adversely affect our business and
results of operations.
13
Our
operations may be adversely affected by implementation of new addiction-related
regulations.
The
Chinese government may decide to adopt more stringent policies to monitor the
online game industry as a result of adverse public reaction to perceived
addiction to online games, particularly by minors. On April 15, 2007, eight
PRC government authorities, including the State Press and Publication
Administration, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Information
Industry issued a Notice on the Implementation of Online Game Anti-Addiction
System to Protect the Physical and Psychological Health of Minors (the
“Anti-Addiction Notice”), requiring all Chinese game operators to adopt an
“anti-addiction system” in an effort to curb addiction to online games by
minors. Under the anti-addiction system, three hours or less of continuous play
is defined to be “healthy,” three to five hours is defined to be “fatiguing,”
and five hours or more is defined to be “unhealthy.” Game operators are required
to reduce the value of game benefits for minor players by half when those
players reach the “fatigue” level, and to zero when they reach the “unhealthy”
level. In addition, online game players in China are now required to
register their identity card numbers before they can play an online game. This
system allows game operators to identify which players are minors. Failure to
comply with the requirements under the Anti-Addiction Notice may subject us to
penalties, including but not limited to suspension of the operation of online
games, revocation of the licenses and approvals for Internet cafes’ operations,
rejection or suspension of the application for approvals, licenses, or filings
for any new games, or prohibiting Internet cafes from operating any new
game.
Internet
cafes currently do not allow the admission of juvenile players. If these
restrictions are expanded to apply to adult players in the future, it could have
a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating
results.
Risks
Related to International Operations
Substantially
all of our assets may be located in the PRC and substantially all of our revenue
may be derived from our operations in the PRC. Accordingly, our results of
operations and prospects will be subject, to a significant extent, to the
economic, political and legal policies, developments and conditions in such
country.
The PRC
economic, political and social conditions, as well as government policies, could
affect our business. For instance, the PRC economy differs from the economies of
most developed countries in many respects. The PRC economy has been
transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although
in recent years the PRC government has implemented measures emphasizing the use
of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of
productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in
business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in the PRC is
still owned by the PRC government. In addition, the PRC government continues to
play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing
industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over PRC
economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of
foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing
preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.
If
the PRC imposes restrictions to reduce inflation, future economic growth in the
PRC could be severely curtailed which could materially and adversely impact our
profitability.
While the
economy of the PRC has experienced rapid growth, this growth has been uneven
among various sectors of the economy and in different geographical areas of the
country. Rapid economic growth can lead to growth in the supply of money and
rising inflation. In order to control inflation in the past, the PRC has imposed
controls on bank credits, limits on loans for fixed assets and restrictions on
state bank lending. Imposition of similar restrictions may lead to a slowing of
economic growth and decrease the interest in the services or products we may
ultimately offer leading to a material and adverse impact on our
profitability.
Any
devaluation of currencies used in the PRC could negatively impact our business’
results of operations and any appreciation thereof could cause the cost of our
business as measured in dollars to increase.
Because
substantially all revenues and income would be received in a foreign currency
such as RMB, the national currency in the PRC, the dollar equivalent of our net
assets and distributions, if any, would be adversely affected by fluctuations in
the value of the RMB. The value of foreign currency fluctuates and is affected
by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. To the
extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Chinese currency for our
operations, appreciation of this currency against the U.S. dollar could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. Conversely, if we decide to convert RMB into U.S. dollars for other
business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against this currency, the
U.S. dollar equivalent of such currency we convert would be
reduced.
The
conversion of RMB into foreign currencies such as the U.S. dollar has been
generally based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China, which are set daily
based on the previous day’s interbank foreign exchange market rates and current
exchange rates on the world financial markets. Historically, the PRC “pegged”
its currency to the U.S. dollar. This meant that each unit of Chinese currency
had a set ratio for which it could be exchanged for United States currency, as
opposed to having a floating value like other countries’ currencies. Many
countries argued that this system of keeping the Chinese currency low when
compared to other countries gave Chinese companies an unfair price advantage
over foreign companies. Due to mounting pressure from other countries, the PRC
recently reformed its economic policies to establish a floating value for its
currency. Since July 21, 2005, RMB has been pegged to a basket of currencies,
and permitted to fluctuate within a managed band. As of July 22, 2008 Beijing
time, the exchange rate of the RMB was 6.8219:1 against the US dollar. This
floating exchange rate, and any appreciation of the RMB that may result
from such rate, could cause the cost of our business as measured in dollars to
increase. Further, our business may be adversely affected since the competitive
advantages that existed as a result of the former policies will
cease.
14
Our
corporate structure may limit our ability to receive dividends from, and
transfer funds to, our PRC subsidiary, which could restrict our ability to act
in response to changing market conditions.
Moqizone
is a holding company. Shanghai MoqiZone, our indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary
established in China has entered into contractual arrangements with the VIE
through which we conduct our wireless value-added activities and receive
substantially all of our revenues in the form of service fees. We rely
on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiary and
service fees from the VIE for our cash requirements in excess of any cash raised
from investors and retained by us. If our subsidiary incurs debt in the future,
the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or
make other distributions to us.
In
addition, PRC law requires that payment of dividends by our subsidiary can only
be made out of its net income, if any, determined in accordance with PRC
accounting standards and regulations. Under PRC law, our subsidiary is also
required to set aside no less than 10% of its after-tax net income each year to
fund certain reserve funds unless such reserve funds have reached 50% of the
registered capital of our subsidiary, and these reserves are not distributable
as dividends. Any limitation on the payment of dividends by our subsidiary could
materially adversely affect our ability to grow, fund investments, make
acquisitions, pay dividends, and otherwise fund and conduct our business. Any
transfer of funds from our company to our PRC subsidiary, either as a
shareholder loan or as an increase in registered capital, is subject to
registration or approval of Chinese governmental authorities, including the
relevant administration of foreign exchange and/or the relevant examining and
approval authority. These limitations on the free flow of funds between us and
our PRC subsidiary could restrict our ability to act in response to
changing market conditions.
Recent
regulations relating to offshore investment activities by PRC residents may
increase the administrative burden we face and create regulatory uncertainties
that may limit or adversely affect our ability to acquire PRC
companies.
Regulations
were issued on January 24, 2005, on April 8, 2005 and on October 21, 2005, by
the SAFE, that will require approvals from, and registration with, PRC
government authorities in connection with direct or indirect offshore investment
activities by PRC residents and PRC corporate entities. The Circular on Issues
Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fund-raising and Reverse
Investment Activities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special
Purpose Companies, or Circular 75, which were issued on October 21, 2005
and became effective as of November 1, 2005 repealed the previous January
and April SAFE regulations. Circular 75 requires each Chinese domestic resident,
whether a natural or legal person, to complete the overseas investment foreign
exchange registration procedures with the relevant local SAFE branch, prior to
establishing or assuming control of an offshore company for the purpose of
acquiring assets or equity interests in the PRC and using these assets to seek
overseas financing (known as “round-trip investment”). In addition, an amendment
to the registration with the local SAFE branch is required to be filed by any
Chinese domestic resident that directly or indirectly holds interests in that
offshore company upon either (1) the injection of equity interests or assets of
an onshore enterprise to the offshore company, or (2) the completion of any
overseas fund raising by such offshore company. An amendment to the registration
is also required to be filed by such Chinese domestic resident when there is any
material change involving a change in the capital of the offshore company.
Moreover, Circular 75 applies retroactively. As a result, Chinese domestic
residents who have established or acquired control of offshore companies that
have made onshore investments in China in the past are required to complete the
relevant overseas investment foreign exchange registration procedures. For
purposes of SAFE registrations required under Circular 75, “Chinese domestic
residents” shall include individuals without mainland China identity papers who
have habitually lived in China due to economic interest. In the event that a PRC
shareholder with a direct or indirect stake in an offshore parent company fails
to obtain the required SAFE approval and make the required
registration, the PRC subsidiaries of such offshore parent company may be
prohibited from making distributions of profit to the offshore parent and from
paying the offshore parent proceeds from any reduction in capital, share
transfer or liquidation in respect of the PRC subsidiaries. Further, failure to
comply with the various SAFE approval and registration requirements described
above, as currently drafted, could result in penalties under PRC foreign
exchange administration regulations and liability under PRC law for foreign
exchange evasion.
As a Hong
Kong company, and therefore an offshore company for purpose of SAFE regulations,
if we purchase the assets or equity interest of a Chinese company owned by
Chinese domestic residents, including those which we will generate revenue from
and exercise control over through agreements, such Chinese domestic residents
who may become our shareholders will be subject to registration procedures
described in the aforementioned SAFE notice. Moreover, Chinese domestic
residents who are already our beneficial shareholders may be required to
register with SAFE in connection with their shareholdings in us. Failure of any
Chinese shareholders of us to register with SAFE may limit our Chinese
subsidiary’s ability to distribute dividends to us.
The
PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities
may create regulatory uncertainties that could restrict or limit our ability to
operate, including our ability to pay dividends.
On August
8, 2006, the Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”), joined by the State-Owned Assets
Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, State
Administration of Taxation, State Administration for Industry and Commerce,
China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) and SAFE, amended and released
the Provisions for Foreign Investors to Merge and Acquire Domestic Enterprises,
which took effect as of September 8, 2006. This new regulation, among
other things, has certain provisions that require SPVs formed for the purpose of
acquiring PRC domestic companies and controlled by PRC individuals, to obtain
the approval of the CSRC prior to publicly listing their securities on an
overseas stock market. However, the new regulation does not expressly provide
that approval from the CSRC is required for the offshore listing of a SPV which
acquires, directly or indirectly, equity interest or shares of domestic PRC
entities held by domestic companies or individuals by cash payment, nor
does it expressly provide that approval from CSRC is not required for the
offshore listing of a SPV which has fully completed its acquisition of equity
interest of domestic PRC equity prior to September 8, 2006. On September 21,
2006, the CSRC published on its official website a notice specifying the
documents and materials that are required to be submitted for obtaining CSRC
approval.
15
It is not
clear whether the provisions in the new regulation regarding the offshore
listing and trading of the securities of a SPV applies to an offshore company
such as us which owns controlling contractual interest in the VIE. We believe
that the new M&A regulation and the CSRC approval are not required in the
context of the share exchange because (i) the Share Exchange is a purely foreign
related transaction governed by foreign laws, not subject to the
jurisdiction of PRC laws and regulations; (ii) we are not a special purpose
vehicle formed or controlled by PRC companies or PRC individuals, (iii) we are
owned or substantively controlled by foreigners. However, we cannot
assure that the relevant PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would
reach the same conclusion, and we still cannot rule out the possibility that
CSRC may deem that the transactions effected by the Share Exchange circumvented
the new M&A rules, the PRC Securities Law and other rules and notices,
especially when taking into consideration of the performance-based incentive
option arrangement by way of the share transfer between Mr. Cheung and other
management.
If the
CSRC or another PRC regulatory agency subsequently determines that the CSRC’s
approval is required for this Offering, we may face sanctions by the CSRC or
another PRC regulatory agency. If this happens, these regulatory agencies may
impose fines and penalties on our operations in the PRC, limit our operating
privileges in the PRC, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from
this offering into the PRC, restrict or prohibit payment or remittance of
dividends to us or take other actions that could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation
and prospects, as well as the trading price of our shares. The CSRC or other PRC
regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it
advisable for us, to delay or cancel this offering before settlement and
delivery of the shares being offered by us.
The new
M&A rules, along with foreign exchange regulations discussed in the above
subsection, will be interpreted or implemented by the relevant government
authorities in connection with our future offshore financings or acquisitions,
and we cannot predict how they will affect our acquisition strategy. For
example, our prospective partner’s ability to remit dividends to us, or to
engage in foreign-currency-denominated borrowings, may be conditioned upon
compliance with the SAFE registration requirements by such Chinese domestic
residents, over whom we may have no control. In addition, such Chinese domestic
residents may be unable to complete the necessary approval and registration
procedures required by the SAFE regulations. Such uncertainties may restrict our
ability to implement our acquisition strategy and adversely affect our business
and prospects.
Because
Chinese law will govern almost all of our business’ material agreements, we may
not be able to enforce our rights within the PRC or elsewhere, which could
result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or
capital.
The
Chinese legal system is similar to a civil law system based on written statutes.
Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have
little precedential value. Although legislation in the PRC over the past 25
years has significantly improved the protection afforded to various forms of
foreign investment and contractual arrangements in the PRC, these laws,
regulations and legal requirements are relatively new. Due to the limited volume
of published judicial decisions, their non-binding nature, the short history
since their enactments, the discrete understanding of the judges or government
agencies of the same legal provision, inconsistent professional abilities of the
judicators, and the inclination to protect local interest in the court rooms,
interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations involve
uncertainties, which could limit the legal protection available to us, and
foreign investors, including you. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy
under any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of
business, business opportunities or capital and could have a material adverse
impact on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of
operations. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government
policies and internal rules (some of which are not published on a timely basis
or at all) that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware
of our violation of these policies and rules until some time after the
violation. In addition, any litigation in the PRC, regardless of outcome, may be
protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and
management attention.
You
may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing
foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China based on United States
or other foreign laws against us and our management.
We
conduct substantially all of our operations in China and substantially all of
our assets are located in China. In addition, some of our directors and
executive officers reside within China. As a result, it may not be possible to
effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China
upon some of our directors and senior executive officers, including with respect
to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state
securities laws. It would also be difficult for investors to bring an original
lawsuit against us or our directors or executive officers before a Chinese court
based on U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Moreover, China does
not have treaties with the United States or many other countries providing for
the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgment of courts.
New
PRC enterprise income tax law could adversely affect our business and our net
income.
On March
16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of the PRC passed the new Enterprise
Income Tax Law (or “EIT Law”), which took effect on of January 1, 2008. The new
EIT Law imposes a unified income tax rate of 25.0% on all companies established
in China. Under the new EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of the PRC
with “de facto management bodies” within the PRC is considered as a resident
enterprise and will normally be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate
of 25.0% on its global income. If the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine
that we should be classified as a resident enterprise, then our global income
will be subject to PRC income tax at a tax rate of 25.0%.
16
With the
introduction of the EIT Law, China has resumed imposition of a withholding tax
(10.0% in the absence of a bilateral tax treaty or new domestic regulation
reducing such withholding tax rate to a lower rate). Per the Double Tax
Avoidance Arrangement between Hong Kong and Mainland China, a Hong Kong company
as the investor, which is considered a “non-resident enterprise” under the EIT
Law, may enjoy the reduced withholding tax rate of 5% if it holds more than 25%
equity interest in its PRC subsidiary. As MoqiZone Hong Kong is the sole
shareholder of Shanghai MoqiZone, substantially all of our income will be derive
from dividends we receive from Shanghai MoqiZone through MoqiZone Hong
Kong. When we declare dividends from the income in the PRC, we cannot
assure whether such dividends may be taxed at a reduced withholding tax rate of
5% per the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement between Hong Kong and Mainland China
as the PRC tax authorities may regard our MoqiZone Hong Kong as a shell company
only for tax purpose and still deem Shanghai MoqiZone in the PRC as the
subsidiary directly owned by the Company. Based on the Notice on Certain Issues
with Respect to the Enforcement of Dividend Provisions in Tax Treaties, issued
on February 20, 2009 by the State Administration of Taxation, if the relevant
PRC tax authorities determine, in their discretion, that a company benefits from
such reduced income tax rate due to a structure or arrangement that is primarily
tax-driven, such PRC tax authorities may adjust the preferential tax
treatment.
Investors
should note that the new EIT Law provides only a framework of the enterprise tax
provisions, leaving many details on the definitions of numerous terms as well as
the interpretation and specific applications of various provisions unclear and
unspecified. Any increase in our tax rate in the future could have a
material adverse effect on our financial conditions and results of
operations.
Under
the new EIT Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China. Such
classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and
holders of our securities.
Under the
new EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with its “de facto
management body” in China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that it
can be treated the same as a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax
purposes. The implementing rules of the New EIT Law defines “de facto management
body” as an organization that exercises “substantial and overall management and
control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and
properties” of an enterprise. Currently no interpretation or application of the
new EIT Law and its implementing rules is available, therefore it is unclear how
tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each
case.
If the
PRC tax authorities determine that our Hong Kong holding company is a “resident
enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC
tax consequences could follow. First, we will be subject to enterprise income
tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide income as well as PRC enterprise income
tax reporting obligations. This would mean that income such as interest on
offering proceeds and other non-China source income may be subject to PRC
enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the new EIT Law
and its implementing rules dividends paid to us by our PRC subsidiaries would
qualify as “tax-exempt income,” we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not
be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange control
authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued guidance
with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are
treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally,
a 10% withholding tax may be imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC
shareholders.
Related
transactions in China may be subject to a high level of scrutiny by the PRC tax
authorities. The contractual arrangements entered into among our PRC subsidiary,
our affiliated entity and its shareholders may be subject to audit or challenge
by the PRC tax authorities; a finding that our PRC subsidiary or our affiliated
entity owes additional taxes could substantially reduce our net income and the
value of your investment.
Under PRC
tax law, arrangements and transactions among related parties may be subject to
audit or challenge by the PRC tax authorities. We may have related transactions
that are not at arm’s length price. If any of the transactions we enter into
with potential future PRC subsidiaries and affiliated PRC entities are
found not to be on an arm’s-length basis, or to result in an unreasonable
reduction in tax under PRC law, the PRC tax authorities have the authority to
disallow any tax savings, adjust the profits and losses of such potential future
PRC entities and assess late payment interest and penalties. A finding by
the PRC tax authorities that we are ineligible for any such tax savings, or that
any of our possible future affiliated entities are not eligible for tax
exemptions, would substantially increase our possible future taxes and thus
reduce our net income and the value of a shareholder’s investment. In
particular, we could face material and adverse tax consequences if the PRC tax
authorities determine that the contractual arrangements among our PRC
subsidiary, the VIE, and the shareholders of the VIE do not represent
arm’s-length prices and adjust any of their income in the form of a transfer
pricing adjustment. A transfer pricing adjustment could, among other
things, result in, for PRC tax purposes, a reduction of expense deductions
recorded by our PRC subsidiary or the VIE or an increase in taxable income, all
of which could in turn increase our tax liabilities. In addition, the PRC tax
authorities may impose late payment fees and other penalties on our PRC
subsidiary or the VIE for under-paid taxes.
17
Our
Chinese operating company is obligated to withhold and pay PRC individual income
tax in respect of the salaries and other income received by their employees who
are subject to PRC individual income tax. If it fails to withhold or pay such
individual income tax in accordance with applicable PRC regulations, it may be
subject to certain sanctions and other penalties, which could have a material
adverse impact on our business.
Under PRC
laws, our Chinese operating company will be obligated to withhold and pay
individual income tax in respect of the salaries and other income received by
its employees who are subject to PRC individual income tax. Our Chinese
operating company may be subject to certain sanctions and other liabilities
under PRC laws in case of failure to withhold and pay individual income taxes
for its employees in accordance with the applicable laws.
In
addition, the PRC State Administration of Taxation has issued several circulars
concerning employee stock options. Under these circulars, employees working in
the PRC (which could include both PRC employees and expatriate employees subject
to PRC individual income tax) are required to pay PRC individual income tax in
respect of their income derived from exercising or otherwise disposing of their
stock options. Our Chinese subsidiary will be obligated to file documents
related to employee stock options with relevant tax authorities and withhold and
pay individual income taxes for those employees who exercise their stock
options. While tax authorities may advise us that our policy is compliant, they
may change their policy, and we could be subject to sanctions.
Risks
Relating to Our Securities
Insiders
have substantial control over us, and they could delay or prevent a change in
our corporate control even if our other stockholders wanted it to
occur.
Our
executive officers, directors, and principal stockholders hold approximately
63.95% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, these stockholders
are able to control all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the
election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.
This could delay or prevent an outside party from acquiring or merging with us
even if our other stockholders wanted it to occur.
There
may not be sufficient liquidity in the market for our securities in order for
investors to sell their securities.
There
is currently only a limited public market for our common stock, which is listed
on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, and there can be no assurance that a
trading market will develop further or be maintained in the future. During
the month of March 2010, our common stock traded an average of approximately 5
shares per day. As of October 14, 2010, the closing bid price of our
common stock was $2.00 per share. As of October 14, 2010, we had
approximately 113 shareholders of record of our common stock, not including
shares held in street name. In addition, during the past two years our
common stock has had a trading range with a low price of $0.01 per share and a
high price of $15.00 per share.
The market price of our common stock
may be volatile .
The
market price of our common stock has been and will likely continue to be highly
volatile, as is the stock market in general, and the market for OTC Bulletin
Board quoted stocks in particular. Some of the factors that may materially
affect the market price of our common stock are beyond our control, such
as changes in financial estimates by industry and securities analysts,
conditions or trends in the industry in which we operate or sales of our common
stock. These factors may materially adversely affect the market price of
our common stock, regardless of our performance. In addition, the public
stock markets have experienced extreme price and trading volume
volatility. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices
of securities of many companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the
operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market
fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.
Additionally,
because our stock is thinly trading, there is a disparity between the bid and
the asked price that may not be indicative of the stock’s true
value.
The
outstanding warrants may adversely affect us in the future and cause dilution to
existing shareholders.
We
currently have a total of 3,616,650 warrants issued and outstanding from the
2009 and 2010 Financings. Associated with these financings, we also have
756,663 Placement Agent Warrants issued and outstanding. The exercise price of
these warrants range from $1.80 to $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances. Exercise of the warrants may cause dilution in the
interests of other shareholders as a result of the additional common stock that
would be issued upon exercise. In addition, sales of the shares of our
common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants could have a depressive
effect on the price of our stock, particularly if there is not a coinciding
increase in demand by purchasers of our common stock. Further, the terms
on which we may obtain additional financing during the period any of the
warrants remain outstanding may be adversely affected by the existence of these
warrants as well.
Our
common stock is considered a “penny stock” and may be difficult to
sell.
The SEC
has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be an equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise
price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market
price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share and, therefore, it is
designated as a “penny stock” according to SEC rules. This designation
requires any broker or dealer selling these securities to disclose certain
information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the
purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase
the securities. These rules may restrict the ability of brokers or dealers
to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their
shares.
18
The
market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses which could
adversely impact investors in our stock.
OTCBB
securities are frequent targets of fraud or market manipulation, both because of
their generally low prices and because OTCBB reporting requirements are less
stringent than those of the stock exchanges or NASDAQ.
Patterns
of fraud and abuse include:
(a)
|
Control of the market for the
security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the
promoter or issuer;
|
(b)
|
Manipulation of prices through
prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press
releases;
|
(c)
|
“Boiler room" practices involving
high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by
inexperienced sales
persons;
|
(d)
|
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask
differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers;
and
|
(e)
|
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.
|
Our
management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny
stock market.
We
have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the
future, and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our
stock.
We have
never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying
any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and any return
on investment may be limited to the value of our stock. We plan to retain
any future earnings to finance our business growth.
ITEM
4. USE OF PROCEEDS
We will
not receive any proceeds upon the conversion of the preferred shares into shares
of our common stock; however, we received net proceeds of approximately
$1,760,400 from the initial sale of all of the Preferred Stock issued in the
2010 Financing and we could receive net proceeds of up to approximately
$2,560,000 from the exercise of the Warrants issued in connection with this
financing, when and if exercised. The net proceeds from the issuance of
the Notes and any proceeds received from the exercise of the Warrants have been
and will be used as set forth in the table below.
The
following table represents estimates only. The actual amounts may vary
from these estimates.

Securities
Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
On
July 22, 2010, the Board of Directors approved the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan,
pursuant to which 1,500,000 shares of our common stock shall be reserved for
issuance. Persons eligible for awards under the Plan will include current and
prospective employees, non-employee directors, consultants or other persons who
provide services to us that hold positions of responsibility and whose
performance, in management’s – or other board appointed committee – judgment,
can have a significant effect on our success. On July 22, 2010, the Company
granted three-year options to each of 51 employees in the aggregate 1,455,000
shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of US$2.25 per share,
in consideration of their services to the Company. These options shall vest
semi-annually in equal amounts over the three year life of the options. These
options were valued at approximately US$1,548,000 which represents the grant
date fair value of these options.

7. SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
We are registering for resale shares of
our Common Stock that are issued and outstanding, and shares of Common Stock
underlying our Preferred Stock and Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders
identified below. We are registering the shares to permit the Selling
Stockholders and their pledgees, donees, transferees and other
successors-in-interest that receive their shares from a Selling Stockholder as a
gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer after the date
of this prospectus to resell the shares when and as they deem appropriate in the
manner described in the “Plan of Distribution”. As of the date of this
prospectus there are 13, 695,724 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding.
The
following table sets forth:
o a.
|
the name of the Selling
Stockholders,
|
b.
|
the number of shares of our
Common Stock that the Selling Stockholders beneficially owned prior to the
offering for resale of the shares under this
prospectus,
|
c.
|
the maximum number of shares
of our Common Stock that may be offered for resale for the account of the
Selling Stockholders under this prospectus,
and
|
d.
|
the number and percentage of
shares of our Common Stock to be beneficially owned by the Selling
Stockholders after the offering of the shares (assuming all of the offered
shares are sold by the Selling
Stockholders).
|
Except
for MKM, none of the Selling Stockholders has been an officer or director of the
Company or any of its predecessors or affiliates within the last three years,
nor has any Selling Stockholder had a material relationship with the
Company.
Except
for TriPoint Global Equities, LLC (“TriPoint Global”), none of the Selling
Stockholders is a broker dealer or an affiliate of a broker dealer. None of the
Selling Stockholders including TriPoint Global has any agreement or
understanding to distribute any of the shares being registered.
John
Finley and Brian Corbman are employees of TriPoint Global.
We
entered into a placement agency agreement (the "Placement Agent Agreement
whereby the placement agent and its selected dealers received a (i) a cash fee
in the amount of approximately $195,620, equal to 10% of the gross proceeds
of the Financing; and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 173,884 shares of
Common Stock, equal to 10% of the aggregate number of units sold in the March
29, 2010 Financing.
Each
Selling Stockholder may offer for sale all or part of the shares from time to
time. The table below assumes that the Selling Stockholders will sell all of the
shares offered for sale. A Selling Stockholder is under no obligation, however,
to sell any shares pursuant to this prospectus.
As of
October 14, 2010, there are 13,695,724 shares of our common stock outstanding,
assuming that all of the shares of common stock underlying the preferred shares
and all of the Warrants have been converted and exercised, respectively for the
purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding securities owned by the
Selling Shareholders. Unless otherwise indicated, the Selling Shareholders
have the sole power to direct the voting and investment over the shares owned by
them. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by
the Selling Shareholders.
Unless
otherwise indicated, all of the following Selling Shareholders received their
shares pursuant to the March 29, 2010 Financing, which is described above in
Recent Developments.

Unless otherwise noted, the
Selling Stockholder became one of our shareholders pursuant to the Private
Equity Financings we completed on March 29, 2010. Accordingly, prior to
the Offering, the Selling Stockholder owned shares of common stock
underlying the Preferred Stock and Warrants received in the Financing (the
“Securities”); however, based upon the terms of the both the preferred
stock and the Warrants, holders may not convert the preferred stock and/or
exercise the warrants, if on any date, such holder would be deemed the
beneficial owner of more than 4.99% or 9.9%, depending upon their
agreement, of the then outstanding shares of our common stock; however, a
holder may elect to waive the cap upon 61 days notice to us, except that
during the 61 day period prior to the expiration date of their warrants,
they can waive the cap at any time, but a waiver during such period will
not be effective until the expiration date of the warrant. Therefore,
unless otherwise noted, this number represents the number of Securities
the Selling Stockholder received in the Financing that he/she can own
based upon the ownership cap, assuming the ownership cap is not
waived. Additionally, the shares of preferred stock are subject to
weighted average and other anti-dilution adjustments; See “Prospectus
Summary – Recent Developments - Financing” and “Description of
Securities”.

This number represents all of the
Securities that the Selling Stockholder received in the March 29, 2010
Financing, which we agreed to register in this Registration Statement
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement we entered into in
connection with the
Financing.

(3)
|
Since we do not have the ability
to control how many, if any, of their shares each of the selling
shareholders listed above will sell, we have assumed that the selling
shareholders will sell all of the shares offered herein for purposes of
determining how many shares they will own after the Offering and their
percentage of ownership following the
offering.

8. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We are
registering the shares of common stock on behalf of the Selling Shareholders.
The selling security holders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of common stock being offered under this prospectus on any stock exchange,
market or trading facility on which shares of our common stock are traded or in
private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated
prices. The selling security holders may use any one or more of the
following methods when disposing of shares:
|
a.
|
ordinary brokerage transactions
and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits
purchasers;
|
|
b.
|
block trades in which the
broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction;
|
|
c.
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as
principal and resales by the broker-dealer for its
account;
|
|
d.
|
an exchange distribution in
accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
|
|
e.
|
privately negotiated
transactions;
|
|
f.
|
to cover short sales made after
the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a
part is declared effective by the
Commission;
|
|
g.
|
broker-dealers may agree with the
selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a
stipulated price per share;
|
|
h.
|
a combination of any of these
methods of sale; and,
|
|
i.
|
any other method permitted
pursuant to applicable law.
|
The
shares may also be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling
security holders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any
purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be
unsatisfactory at any particular time.
The
selling security holders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the
margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling security holder
defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the
pledged shares.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other broker-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from
the selling security holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the
purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, which
commissions as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of
customary commissions to the extent permitted by applicable law.
If sales
of shares offered under this prospectus are made to broker-dealers as
principals, we would be required to file a post-effective amendment to the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In the
post-effective amendment, we would be required to disclose the names of any
participating broker-dealers and the compensation arrangements relating to such
sales.
23
The
selling security holders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in
selling the shares offered under this prospectus may be deemed to be
“underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these
sales. Commissions received by these broker-dealers or agents and any
profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be
underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Any
broker-dealers or agents that are deemed to be underwriters may not sell shares
offered under this prospectus unless and until we set forth the names of the
underwriters and the material details of their underwriting arrangements in a
supplement to this prospectus or, if required, in a replacement prospectus
included in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which
this prospectus is a part.
The
selling security holders and any other persons participating in the sale or
distribution of the shares offered under this prospectus will be subject to
applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under
that act, including Regulation M. These provisions may restrict activities
of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the
selling security holders or any other person. Furthermore, under
Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited
from simultaneously engaging in market making and other activities with respect
to those securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of
such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of
these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.
If any of
the shares of common stock offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus are
transferred other than pursuant to a sale under this prospectus, then subsequent
holders could not use this prospectus until a post-effective amendment or
prospectus supplement is filed, naming such holders. We offer no assurance
as to whether any of the selling security holders will sell all or any
portion of the shares offered under this prospectus.
We have
agreed to pay all fees and expenses we incur incident to the registration of the
shares being offered under this prospectus. However, each selling security
holder and purchaser is responsible for paying any discounts, commissions and
similar selling expenses they incur.
We and
the selling security holders have agreed to indemnify one another against
certain losses, damages and liabilities arising in connection with this
prospectus, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
ITEM
9. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
Our
current authorized capital now consists of 40,000,000 shares of common stock,
14,104,835 shares of Blank Check preferred stock, whose terms shall be
determined by the board of directors at the time of issuance, 15,000 shares of
Series A preferred stock, 10,743 shares Series B preferred stock and 869,422
shares Series C preferred stock. As of October 14, 2010, there were
13,695,724 shares of our common stock outstanding; 1,145 shares of our
Series A preferred stock outstanding; 0 shares of our Series B
preferred stock outstanding; and, 869,422 shares of our Series C preferred
stock outstanding.
Common
Stock
We are
authorized to issue up to 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value US$.001
per share, of which 13,695,724 are currently issued and
outstanding.
Each
outstanding share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per
share on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Stockholders do not
have preemptive rights to purchase shares in any future issuance of our Common
Stock.
The
holders of shares of our Common Stock are entitled to dividends out of funds
legally available when and as declared by our board of directors. Our board of
directors has never declared a dividend. Should we decide in the future to pay
dividends, it will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will
be dependent upon then existing conditions, including the company’s financial
condition and the results of operations, capital requirements, contractual
restrictions, business prospects, and other factors that the Board of Directors
considers relevant. Each share shall be entitled to the same
dividend. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up,
holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive, ratably, the net assets
available to stockholders after payment of all creditors.
All of
the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock are duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. To the extent that additional
shares of our Common Stock are issued, the relative interests of existing
stockholders will be diluted.
Blank
Check Preferred Stock
Effective
August 27, 2009, we amended our articles of incorporation to increase our
authorized capital stock to include up to 15,000,000 shares of Blank Check
preferred stock, to which our board of directors will have the power to issue in
one or more series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors, and a
majority of our shareholders, approved the amendment to our articles of
incorporation via written consent. 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. As of the date of this filing,
the Board designated three classes of preferred stock: Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock. As a result, we
have 14,104,835 shares of blank check preferred stock authorized and the board
does not have any present intention of designating any other class of preferred
stock.

Stock
Incentive Plan
Prior to
the Share Exchange, Trestle maintained an employee stock option plan that
provided for the grant of non-statutory or incentive stock options to its
employees, officers, directors or consultants. Stock options granted
pursuant to the terms of this plan generally cannot be granted with an exercise
price of less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of the grant (110%
for awards issued to a 10% or more stockholder) and the term of the options
granted under the plan cannot be greater than 10 years, or 5 years for a
stockholder who owns 10% or more of our equity. Only 10,000 options
were granted under the Plan, but they have expired. Based upon the
terms of the private financing we completed in June 2009, the Board shall
re-examine the stock option plan. determine if they want to renew the plan
or make any revisions that would be better suitable for the company
post the Share Exchange.
On
July 22, 2010, the Board of Directors approved the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan,
pursuant to which 1,500,000 shares of our common stock shall be reserved for
issuance. Persons eligible for awards under the Plan will include current and
prospective employees, non-employee directors, consultants or other persons who
provide services to us that hold positions of responsibility and whose
performance, in management’s – or other board appointed committee – judgment,
can have a significant effect on our success. On July 22, 2010, the Company
granted three-year options to each of 51 employees in the aggregate 1,455,000
shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of US$2.25 per share,
in consideration of their services to the Company. These options shall vest
semi-annually in equal amounts over the three year life of the options. These
options were valued at approximately US$1,548,000 which represents the grant
date fair value of these options. Going forward the cost of these options will
be expensed as they vest and will be recorded in general and administrative
expenses as share-based compensation expenses. Pursuant to these options, we
will incur approximately $258,000 of expenses on January 22, 2011 and incurring
in equal amounts every six months with the last expense incurring on July 22,
2013.
The
Company estimates the fair value of these options using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model with the following assumptions: an expected life equal to the
contractual term of the options (three), underlying stock price of $2.50 per
share, no dividends; a risk free rate of 0.92%, which three-year yield on
Treasury bonds at constant (or fixed) maturity and volatility of 58%. The
expected volatility is calculated using historical data obtained from comparable
public companies due to lack of liquidity of the Company’s underlying stock.
Exercise price of the option is the contractual exercise price of the
option.

Business
Overview
Through
our Shanghai MoqiZone subsidiary, we provide an online game delivery platform
delivering contents of online games that are hosted by us to internet cafes
which have installed Netcafe Farmer and/or our WiMAX equipment in China via our
Netcafe Farmer software or our proprietary MoqiZone WiMAX Network. Our primary
business focus is to provide content delivery of online games that are hosted by
us to the internet cafés which have installed Netcafe Farmer and/or installed
our WiMAX equipment. Our MoqiZone WiMAX Network is a wireless virtual
proprietary network. Netcafe Farmer is an online game auto-update distribution
system which enables internet cafés to automatically update the client-end
gaming software with patches on a real time basis for all their personal
computers or PCs in their cafes. The combination of MoqiZone WiMAX Network and
Netcafe Farmer form the backbone of our distribution channel for our online
games to our targeted market, which are licensed Internet cafes in cities where
the internet cafés business is more developed.
Our
targeted market is licensed internet cafes in cities where the internet cafés
business is more developed. Our existing penetration to internet cafes is low;
however, we have already successfully deployed a few WiMax test sites in
Beijing, Suzhou and Shenzhen in Fall 2009 and have aligned ourselves with local
internet café associations in order to accelerate our business penetration. We
have also launched test sites in Chengdu on December 15, 2009. As of
December 31, 2009, in Chengdu there are over 30internet cafés installed with our
CPE and 15 of which are utilizing our Moqizone WiMAX Network, and approximately
100 internet cafés are connected to the Moqizone gaming delivery platform
to access the games on 53MQ In addition, we have 293 CPE and 43 Base Stations in
the inventory for immediate deployment. These cafes were open only for testing
purposes and were not revenue producing. We have not generated any revenue
from MoqiZone WiMAX Network and little revenue from Netcafe Farmer as of
December 31, 2009 as we are providing our WiMAX installation to the internet
cafes free of charge. Once a substantial number of WiMAX installed internet
cafes are participating in our business, we plan to initiate our charged
services to the internet cafes. Please see further discussion at page 47 under
“Business – Key Corporate Objectives”
Our
business projected revenue will be generated from cash collected from game
players through issuing prepaid game cards. We provide internet cafes, game
providers and ourselves with real time reporting and customer tracking via
www.moqizone.com; and aims to fine tune the conventional value chain by offering
more revenue sharing with internet cafés, online game providers and
marketing promotion companies. Ourgoal is to deploy our digital
entertainment delivery platform on the MoqiZone WiMAX Network in various
targeted cities in China, commencing initially from Suzhou, Chengdu,
Zhengzhou, Beijing, and Guizhou.
3.5GMHz
Spectrum License
On
October 31, 2007, the Communications Resource Management Office of the
General Staff Department of Communication of the People’s Liberation Army,
renewed its exclusive grant to Tai Ji the People’s Liberation Army
Authorization for the usage right of the 3.5GHz radio frequencies throughout
China. On September 25, 2009, Tai Ji agreed to authorize SZ Alar to
use the People’s Liberation Army Authorization exclusively in the PRC for
Internet café network deployment purposes subject to payment of certain
licensing fees. With the 3.5GHz, we can roll out our MoqiZone WiMAX
Network to provide online game contents of our participating games to those
internet cafes which are installed with our WiMAX equipment and have joint
into our MoqiZone WiMAX Network for consuming gaming content of our
participating games at www.53mq.com which is our gaming
platform designated to service the internet café customers. The MoqiZone
WiMAX Network enables direct access between the internet cafes and the content
providers hosted by us at ICDs.
As a
result of the exclusivity granted by the People’s Liberation Army to Tai Ji and
as a result of Tai Ji granting us the exclusive usage of the 3.5GMHz radio
frequency for Internet café business, we believe that the Company is the only
Chinese WiMAX carrier with permitted national coverage license granted
indirectly by the People’s Liberation Army to deploy a network similar to the
MoqiZone WiMAX Network. Such exclusivity, however, does not extend to other
potential competitors who may obtain WiMAX radio spectrum via the MIIT as we are
aware of other carriers who may have been granted similar licenses by the
MIIT. Nevertheless, we believe that the People’s Liberation Army
Authorization is the only national WiMAX license for the use of 3.5GMHz radio
frequencies granted by the People’s Liberation Army (“PLA”) using the WiMAX
technology.
We are
not aware, however, that any of our potential competitors has any plans to
utilize a WiMAX platform to specifically target the Internet Café business, as
is our current plan. As a result, under our current arrangements, and as long as
the PLA Authorization granted to Tai Ji and its authorization to SZ Alar is
retained, we believe that no existing or potential competitor can foreclose our
access to any market in China for Internet cafés. Accordingly, we
believe that the Company has access to the necessary business and operating
licenses to deploy China’s first national WiMAX network for Internet
cafés.
Tai Ji
is one of our key cooperative partners and has obtained the permission to use
the 3.5GHz radio frequency resources to the Company and its affiliates in
China. The advantages and disadvantages of People’s Liberation Army
Authorization versus MIIT are summarized as follows:-
27
|
a)
|
The license fees for 2009 were
RMB3 million (approximately $439,000) and the maximum annual license fees
are RMB7 million (approximately $1.024 million) per annum. This is
substantially less costly than the WiMAX license fees secured by other
telecom companies via MIIT, and as a result, the upfront capital
requirements are less than MITT WiMAX
;
|
|
b)
|
The PLA Authorization allows
national coverage subject to acknowledgement by local provincial military
zone. The tendering of MIIT WiMAX license is provincial and each province
will only allow up to 3 companies to
participate;
|
|
c)
|
There was official documentation
regarding the tendering of China WiMAX frequency with the
MIIT. With this, the public or potential investor would be able
to verify the substance and approval information of the
licenses.
|
|
d)
|
The PLA has the right to control
the use of WiMAX frequency when there are threats to the country or
national crises and in such times this may cause the MoqiZone WiMAX
Network to not function
properly.
|
|
e)
|
PLA Authorization allows
automatic annual renewal but the MIIT WiMAX is only valid for 2 years from
the date of issuance. The risks of using the PLA Authorization are further
discussed above in the section entitled “Risk
Factors.”
|
The
VIE
In
July 2007, MoqiZone Hong Kong signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with Tai Ji and
SZ Mellow which also included a draft of Cooperation Agreement to be entered
into among Tai Ji, a WFOE to be established by MoqiZone and SZ Mellow. A WFOE or
Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise is an enterprise in China which is 100% owned by
foreign legal entities or persons. Establishment as a WFOE allows the foreign
company to retain complete control and direction of the operation. It also tends
to maximize return as a second party investor is not involved. According to this
Memorandum of Cooperation, the major terms are:
|
a.
|
Tai Ji agreed that the
MoqiZone Hong Kong can authorize its cooperative partners or
subsidiaries in China ("MoqiZone's Representatives") to use the 3.5GMHz
radio frequency
resources;
|
|
b.
|
Tai Ji will collect an
annual license fees of RMB 2,500,000 for Year 2008, RMB 3,000,000 for Year
2009 and thereafter, each year annual license fee shall be increased by
RMB 500,000 per year based on the previous year annual license fee to a
maximum of RMB 7,000,000 per year until the license expires;
and
|
|
c.
|
Tai Ji will further collect a
usage fee of RMB 20,000 per year per radio base
station.
|
On
January 25, 2009 Shanghai MoqiZone was incorporated, and on January 26, 2009,
Shanghai MoqiZone, Tai Ji and SZ Mellow executed the formal Cooperation
Agreement, under which Tai Ji will provide SZ Mellow and Shanghai MoqiZone the
exclusive use of the 3.5GHz on Internet Cafes gaming business.
As a
result of disputes with the shareholders of Shenzhen Mellow (see below “Legal
Proceeding” for further information), on September 21, 2009, in accordance with
the terms of the SZ Mellow Agreements, we sent out a 30 days' prior written
notice to SZ Mellow stating our intention of terminating the SZ Mellow
Agreements. The SZ Mellow Agreements was terminated at the expiry of
the 30-day notice on October 20, 2009. In order to continue our business and
operations as planned, on September 25, 2009, Shanghai MoqiZone, Tai Ji and
SZ Alar executed another Cooperation Agreement, under which Tai Ji will provide
SZ Alar and Shanghai MoqiZone the exclusive use of the 3.5GHz on Internet cafes
gaming business. Certain of our principal shareholders and executive officers
are also affiliated with Tai Ji and the SZ Alar.
Key
Advantages to the Moqizone WiMAX Network
We
believe that the MoqiZone WiMAX Network provides a cheaper data transmission
alternative than those provided by incumbent telecoms and internet data
centers. The MoqiZone Network provides direct access between the
Internet cafés and the content providers.
China
Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) in July 2009 published the “24th
Statistical Report on Internet Development in China”. The following are extract
of the summary of finding of the report which the Company believes are relevant
to our business:-
l
|
By
June 30, 2009, the number of Chinese Internet users and the Penetration
rate of the Internet had reached 338 million and 25.5% respectively. The
number of Internet users increased by 40 million compared with late 2008,
up 13.4% within six months, and the increase in the number of Chinese
Internet users remains robust.
|
l
|
The
number of broadband users had reached 320 million, accounting for 94.3% of
all Internet users. In spite of the high Penetration rate of broadband,
China is far behind the countries developed in the Internet in terms of
broadband access speed.
|
l
|
The
number of Chinese Internet mobile Internet users was 155 million,
accounting for 45.9% of all Internet users, and the number of mobile
Internet users exceeded 37 million within six months. 28% of the existing
mobile Internet users said they would access the Internet by 3G mobile
phone in the coming six months; 7.25% of the users that have not accessed
the Internet by mobile phone said they would probably access the Internet
by 3G mobile phone in the coming six
months.
|
l
|
The
number of rural Internet users had reached 95.65 million, 14.8% of whom
visited rural or agricultural websites over the past six months. Farming,
forestry, animal husbandry and fishery laborers using rural or
agricultural websites accounted for 42.7% of all Internet
users.
|
l
|
The
proportion of Internet users accessing the Internet for entertainment,
information and communication purposes was high. Except for forum/BBS, the
penetration rate of all the three Internet applications by Internet users
was over 50%, and the utilization rate of transaction-type Internet
applications like online shipping and online payment was relatively
low.
|
l
|
Entertainment
application tended towards stability after fast growth, and all
sub-divisional applications differed in use rate. The number of online
game players increased by 30 million within six months with a use rate of
64.2%, up 1.4%. Online music application remained ahead within six months,
with an increase of 16.1% in the number of users and an increase of 1.8%
in use rate. The number of Internet video users continued increasing to
10% within six months with a decrease of 1.9% in Penetration
rate.
|
l
|
The
number of communication application grew continuously, with use rate
dropping lightly. The use rate of email and instant messaging stood at
55.4% and 72.2% respectively, down 1.4% and 3.1% from late 2008. The
number of blog users reached 181 million with a use rate of 53.8%, down
0.5% from late 2008.
|
l
|
The
use of transaction application was of low level and relatively backward.
The number of online shoppers picked up from 74 million to 87.88 million
with an increase of nearly 14 million amid the current economic situation;
affected by the economic actuality, the number of users reserving travel
online slipped slightly from late last year; the number of users making
payment online climbed to 23.7 million within six month with an increase
of 4.8% in use rate.
|
l
|
The
Internet plays a prominently positive role in information acquisition,
interpersonal communication, social participation, practical life
convenience and other respects, but is prone to isolating Internet users
away from the reality to probably cause some mental
problems.
|
We
believe that our competitive advantages include:
28
|
a.
|
WiMAX
First Mover Advantage . Through the Peopple’s Liberation
Army Authorization, we are able to invest in WiMAX base station and CPE
and install them more cost-effectively on roof tops of buildings in a way
similar to GSM radio stations. WiMAX is in particularly cost
effective for delivering online game contents of our participating games
to those internet cafes installed with our WiMAX equipment and which have
joined into our MoqiZone WiMAX
Network.
|
|
b.
|
Reallocation
of Online Gaming Value Chain . The MoqiZone WiMAX Network
increases the net economic benefit to the content providers and the
Internet cafés and eliminates the prepaid card
distributors.
|
|
c.
|
Other
Benefits to In ternet Café s . The MoqiZone WiMAX
Network also benefits the Internet Café’s by eliminating certain
duplicative resources and costs and providing
incentives.
|
|
d.
|
Benefits
to Content Providers
. The MoqiZone WiMAX Network benefits the Content Provider by
eliminating server storage and bandwidth hosting fees, and also protects
their IP from piracy and hackers, via a closed
network.
|
|
e.
|
Benefits
to Game Publishers.
With our Moqizone business model, game companies can have one
stop shopping with Moqizone and can assess all the Internet cafés at one
location.
|
|
f.
|
Benefits
of MoqiZone Prepaid Card . Our platform uses a proprietary
prepaid game card that is game publisher agnostic (i.e. accessible for all
games), thereby reducing game card inventory costs for Internet café’s, as
well as reducing black marketed discounted prepaid cards and content theft
for the Content
Provider.
|
|
g.
|
Realtime
Reporting
. Our solution shares valuable point of sale (POS) data
throughout the network to allow for real-time reporting, customer and
payment tracking, and targeted marketing; a service that was previously
unavailable to game content providers and publishers and Internet
cafés
|
29
|
h.
|
Access
to Extensive Game Content . In addition to its
current arrangements, we expect to execute content agreements with the
major online gaming companies that represent more than 10 million unique
concurrent users.
|
|
i.
|
Significant
Management Experience . Our management team
has long term business relationship and experience in dealing with the
gaming companies and also leading players in the entertainment industry,
including movies producers, music publisher as well as distributors and we
believe that we will be able to obtain the best online digital content in
Asia.
|
Key
Corporate Objectives
Our key
business development objectives over the next two years are to build our game
delivery platforms and expand our business penetration in Internet cafes in
China.
Before we
can achieve our business objectives, we will need to:-
|
a.
|
build out our MoqiZone WiMAX
Network, which involve the construction of a WiMAX base station covering
our targeted internet cafes at each
city;
|
|
b.
|
install CPE at each internet
café;
|
|
c.
|
set up server farm in
IDC;
|
|
d.
|
develop and deploy a online
game and digital entertainment platform;
and
|
|
e.
|
develop and deploy a
centralized prepaid card clearing center as well as a accounting systems
for internet cafes revenue distribution
system.
|
On the
other hand, we are also aiming to service the non-WiMAX internet cafés by
providing them a peer to peer content updating engine “Netcafe Farmer.” We
recently acquired the Netcafe Farmer product as well as the entire technical
team of Netcafe Farmer. The Netcafe Farmer product can be easily deployed
to each internet café for content updating and we have already sold the service
to approximately 700 internet cafés. We have appointed resellers to distribute
the Netcafe Farmer product to internet cafes. Pursuant to our agreements with
the resellers, we will settle payment with them on an annual basis and the fees
range from 0 to RMB200 ($50).
On the
other hand, we are also aiming to service the non-WiMAX internet café by
providing them a peer to peer content updating engine “Netcafe Farmer” which the
Company has recently acquired the product as well as the entire technical term.
Netcafe Farmer can be easily deployed to each internet café for content updating
and we have now already had approximately 800 internet café joining us. Revenue
to be generated from Netcafe Farmer has not been forecasted and projected in the
financial budget.
Our
business objectives will be required to execute through Shanghai Moqizone and SZ
Alar by implementing the structure portal arrangements described below in order
to allow MoqiZone Hong Kong to have control. Neither our Company nor our
Shanghai MoqiZone subsidiary owns any equity interests in SZ
Alar. Our business relationship with the holders of the People’s
Liberation Army Authorization is based on contractual arrangements which is
commonly known as the “Sina Structure Portal Arrangement”
agreements. These agreements may be summarized, as
follows:
Exclusive Business
Cooperation Agreement. Pursuant to the exclusive ten year
business cooperation agreement between the VIE and Shanghai MoqiZone, Shanghai
MoqiZone has the exclusive right to provide to the VIE comprehensive technology
and consulting services related to the business of the VIE. In
consideration for such services, Shanghai MoqiZone is entitled to receive 100%
of the net income of the VIE.
Equity Pledge
Agreement. Under the equity
pledge agreement among the VIE, the shareholders of the VIE and Shanghai
MoqiZone, the shareholders of the VIE pledged all of their equity interests in
the VIE to Shanghai MoqiZone to guarantee the VIE’s performance of its
obligations under the exclusive business cooperation agreement. In the
event that the VIE were to breach its contractual obligations, Shanghai
MoqiZone, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including the right to
sell the pledged equity interests. The equity pledge agreement will expire only
after the VIE and its shareholders have fully performed their respective
obligations under the exclusive business cooperation agreement.
30
Exclusive Option
Agreement. Under an exclusive ten (10) year option agreement
between the the VIE, the shareholders of the VIE and Shanghai MoqiZone, the
shareholders of the VIE have irrevocably granted to Shanghai MoqiZone or its
designated person an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under
PRC law, all or part of the equity interests in the VIE for RMB10 or the
evaluation amount of consideration permitted by applicable PRC
law. Shanghai MoqiZone or its designated person has sole discretion
to decide when to exercise the option, whether in part or in full.
Loan
Agreement .
Under the loan agreement between the shareholders of the VIE and
MoqiZone Hong Kong, the parties confirmed that MoqiZone Hong Kong has made an
interest-free loan to the shareholders of the VIE solely to enable the
shareholders of the VIE to fund the initial capitalization of the VIE. The loan
can be repaid only by sale of the shareholder’s equity interest in the VIE to
MoqiZone Hong Kong. The term of the loan agreement is ten years from the date
thereof.
Irrevocable Power
of Attorney .
The shareholders of the VIE have each executed an irrevocable power

There is
no financial obligation between both parties under the MOU which is
non-binding.
We are
also currently discussing various collaborations with the local internet café
associations in Suzhou and Chengdu in order to accelerate our internet café
business deployment.
Content
Providers
As of
December 24, 2009, we have entered into agreements to deploy 10 new games and
non-binding memorandums of understanding with 10 more new game developers. The
agreements and MOUs are signed with 20 different content providers. A typical
game cooperation arrangement requires us to provide IDC server, and operate the
game on our platform. The gamers play games in our membership system, and pay in
our billing system. In return, we share income with the content providers. The
percentage of income sharing varies among different content providers. And in
some cases, a marketing budget will be agreed when the game is promoted. On October
28, 2009, the Company announced the launch of our business-to-customer or B2C
website 53MQ.
53MQ is the online game platform through which we aggregate and integrate all
our online game contents and will be the interface to interact with our WiMAX
connected internet cafes as well as our online game players. The typical terms
of the agreement between MoqiZone and content providers will
include:
|
a.
|
Exclusivity of the publishing
rights to the online game;
|
|
b.
|
Whether it is a sole operation by
us or a co-operation with the game
publisher;
|
|
c.
|
The percentage of revenue split
or percentage discount on the face value of the gaming recharge
card/prepaid card and payment

31
We
have entered into partnership agreement with Win’s Entertainment Limited
(“Win’s”), a major motion picture producing company in Hong Kong and
we are going to publish our own games on our gaming delivery platforms. In
November 2009, we were contracted to develop the online game for Win’s
movie, Flirting Scholars 2
(“Flirting Scholars 2 Game”).We also acquired the exclusive rights from Win’s
for publishing Flirting Scholars 2 Game. We aim to partnership with more movie
production companies and replicate the business model of publishing our own
games on our platform.
Acquisition
of Netcafe Farmer
On
December 21, 2009, we acquired a client-end software called “Netcafe Farmer”
which was originally developed by Mr. Liu Qian in 2006. It is a client-end
software solution that provides an automatic content update distribution system
in internet cafés allowing internet cafés to automatically update their
client-end software on a real time basis for all their computers. Netcafe Farmer
is currently servicing approximately 700 internet cafés mainly in Henan, Hebei,
Zhejiang, and Northeast of China and has also established a strong network with
major content suppliers to help promote their games in internet cafés. As a
result of the foregoing, we will be able to bring tremendous synergy to the
MoqiZone online game platform business and improve our services to internet café
operators. The existing brand name “Netcafe Farmer” will be retained and a new
version will be developed to support the MoqiZone WiMAX Network. The acquisition
of Netcafe Farmer will also allow us to cover the internet cafés, which cannot
be installed with our WiMAX equipment due to physical limitation, via fixed line
network. Internet cafes installed with Netcafe Farmer will be able to enjoy the
same products and services as those that are installed with WiMAX equipment,
although the revenue sharing will be different.
The
typical terms between Netcafe Farmers reseller and internet cafes are as
follows:-
|
a.
|
Annual service fees upfront
payment based on the number of PC of each Internet
cafes
|
|
b.
|
Automatic annual renewal of the
Service Contract
|
|
c.
|
Internet cafes to provide
technical support for the installation of Netcafe
Farmers
|
|
d.
|
Internet cafes not to use other
similar service provider in the Internet café during the
term
|
Proprietary
Prepaid Card
Traditionally
online game revenues are collected through the sale of pre-paid cards issued by
each individual game publishing company, which they sell in both virtual and
physical form, to third party distributors and retailers, including Internet
cafes, as well as, to a lesser extent, through direct online payment systems. In
most cases, game publishers receive cash pre-payments from these parties in
exchange for delivery of the pre-paid cards. Online game companies do
not provide refunds to these distributors or retailers with respect to unsold
inventories of pre-paid cards.
Most
online game companies, especially new games, will encounter the problem that
they need to build “trust” to these distributors before their game is
launched. As a result, online game companies usually have
difficulties introducing their new products to distribution channels effectively
and efficiently. With our business model, these new game publishers
can join our payment system without exposing the risk of cash collection from
their distributers. At the same time, since our prepaid cards can be
used on other games and therefore, distributors have less financial risk
exposure stocking up our cards.
For the
pay-to-play subscription-based model, both prepaid cards and prepaid online
points provide customers with a pre-specified length of game playing time within
a specified period. All prepaid fees received from distributors and end
customers are initially recognized as deposits. Revenue is recognized upon
activation of the prepaid game cards or online points based on the actual
consumption of the game playing time by end customers.
For the
item-billing revenue model, the customers can play the game for free with
limited basic functions. There are also in-game items and premium features sold
in the game by consuming online game points, commonly known as “Virtual Items”,
which are regarded as value-added services and are rendered over a pre-specified
period or throughout the whole game life. The revenue from these Virtual Items
is recognized ratably over the estimated practical usage period or
throughout the whole game life as appropriate. Future usage patterns may differ
from the historical usage patterns on which the item-billing revenue model
revenue recognition is based.
Virtual
item trading between gamers will also become more secure by using our card
together with an online payment system as we are operating under a “close”
network environment. Under the traditional web-based Internet gaming
environment, virtual item trading can become insecure as there could be
“pirated” gaming servers co-exist with the authenticated gaming servers and
such “pirated” server will disturb the regular gaming economies and induce
unfairness to players. Also, theft and virtual item robbery or disappearance is
not uncommon due to the existence of such “fake” and “pirated” servers. With our
MoqiZone WiMAX Network, we are hosting all gaming servers in IDC and as our
network is physically a private proprietary network, illegal hackers and
“pirated” server operators will find to more difficult to interfere our server
system, as a result of which providing a more secure environment to the
participants in the gaming value chain.

Our
business will involve no charges to Internet cafés in China for all data
transmission on the MoqiZone Network at the very beginning. We
believe that this will provide a significant direct benefit to internet café
owners because Internet cafés currently pay internet data transmission charges
of approximately RMB 20,000 to 40,000 per month to Telecom
providers. This is the single largest cost element for Internet café
operators in China after their rental fee. China currently has content censoring
policy. Internet cafés are subject to attack by hackers and other
political news groups. Our MoqiZone Network is able to provide them
all the necessary tools to meet government’s objectives. Also, as it is a close
network, they are not as vulnerable as the Internet
The
MoqiZone Network comes with a POS-alike system for all online
games. This system is similar to any internet bank system, so that
each game player, content provider, and Internet café will be able to assess
online for their billing and profit sharing detail similar to bank
statements. This way each party will have an accurate reporting on
billing and profit sharing, and it is easy to manage.
Traditionally,
a content publisher will be required to host their content at Internet Data
Center (“IDC”) for server storage and bandwidth costs. This is one of
the highest expenses for publishing online game. The total
cost per month can be as high as 20% of their gaming revenue. The MoqiZone
Network eliminates the server and bandwidth costs for the content publishers as
we will be paying the IDC for the hosting fees. The reason we are able to offer
this business term to the content provider is that we do not have to bear the
cost to assess the Internet as we have our own network to connect directly
to all Internet cafés. Also our MoqiZone Network infrastructure will
allow us to use fewer IDC than the traditional Internet based online game
environment. Conventional IDC’s biggest cost is Internet bandwidth
costs. Therefore, we believe that we will be able to capture this
extra 20% of gaming revenue and pays IDC hosting cost for less than 1% for
physical floor area rental only.
One of
the current challenges for online game companies is to be able to control the
final retail price for their pre-pay cards and to prevent price variation from
parallel trading, even between province and province. As this product
has no differentiation from whom a game player buys it from, price cut strategy
is usually adopted by the “next-door” stores in order to sell as many cards
as possible. Therefore Internet café or grocery stores are currently
both unable to earn their “theoretical” profit margin for selling these
prepay cards in store. Our system is different, we only reward high
percentage when a user consume in the game at the café, then the café will get
the commission regardless where the end user pay for the pre-paid cards. Under
this system, better performing internet cafés are rewarded with bonuses so they
have an incentive to make promotion of our system and encourage gamers to spend
more to buy virtual items at the café on our system.
We also
offer a profit sharing platform detailing all the transactions for game
companies so that they know exactly when and where their users spend the
money. Such information will be crucial for online game companies to
improve their service and marketing activity. Currently no telecom
company is able to provide such figure to online game companies. Game companies
also will be able to know the performance for their sponsored Internet
cafes.
33
Research
and Development
We have
developed an online e-payment system to manage profit sharing information among
content providers, internet cafés, and promoters. Game players also
have “pre-paid” accounts with MoqiZone. MoqiZone has total ownership
over the payment system. Although we do not have any proprietary
technology for WiMAX, we will integrate existing technology to manage our
network as required.

|
Farming
districts will be the next great leap to our business development strategy
as the local GDP as the living standard gradually increases since the cost
of WiMAX deployment will be lower versus fixed line. The developed cities
in China will become saturated although ARPU is still relatively higher in
the developed cities.

According
the New York Times, “ China
Surpasses U.S. in Number of Internet Users” , 7/26/08 by David
Barboza
¨
|
China
said the number of Internet users in the country reached about 253 million
last month (June 2008), putting it ahead of the United States as the
world’s biggest Internet market.
|
¨
|
The
number of Internet users jumped more than 50 percent, or by about 90
million people, during 2007, said the government-controlled Chinese
Academy of Sciences. The new estimate represents only about 19 percent of
China’s population, underscoring the potential for
growth.
|
¨
|
The
survey found that nearly 70 percent of China’s Internet users were 30 or
younger, and that in the first half of this year, high school students
were, by far, the fastest-growing segment of new users, accounting for 39
million of the 43 million users during the
period.
|
According
to the summary page of the Niko Partners’ report on China ’ s Internet Café s Study 2008 , there are
estimated 185,000 Internet cafés nationwide in China, 71,000 of which are
unlicensed with approximately 22 million PC installed throughout
China.
There are
about 150,000 licensed internet café in China, with an average of 100 sets of PC
in each café. The top three applications in any internet café are:
(a) online games, (b) Instant messaging and online chatting; and (c) online
TV/Movie streaming. Each set of PC is shared by three users each
day in internet café, and this has covered 45 millions unique users per
day.
According
to public information available from several NASDAQ and Hong Kong Stock Exchange
listed online game companies in China, the Average revenue per user per month
(ARPU per month) for each gamer in China is approximately in the range of USD 5
to USD 40 per game depending on the game. Item-Billing business model
often leads to a higher ARPU figures . This is an important parameter to
our business evaluation and forecast as we can assume that the consumption power
of most of gamers is between USD 5 to USD 40 for per month. We can use this as a
reference in our pre-paid cards pricing strategy.

Our
MoqiZone Network Deployment Strategy
The

Our cost
analysis indicates that it will cost approximately $400,000 to deploy our
MoqiZone Network system to service 100 Internet cafés. Estimated costs per
100 Internet cafés include establishment of approximately 10 base stations,
installation of CPE receivers at each of the 100 Internet café locations,
purchase and installation of five content servers, rental payment of
Internet Data Center, implementation and maintenance expenses. Our deployment
process includes obtaining letters of intent from the Internet cafés in
any given city or area, GPS data collection, determination of the required
number and installation of base stations and simultaneously setting up regional
service centers, offices and IDCs.
Once our
MoqiZone Internet WiMAX Network is established, a game player who purchases our
prepaid card from the Internet café can clicks on our logo, inputs his password,
logs in to his personal account and “clicks and plays.”
Competition
Although
we have no direct competitor using our WiMAX Network model, we will be competing
with some of the larger game providers in the PRC, most of which have
substantially greater revenues and financial resources than our
Company.
As some
of the functions in the current online game industry chain can be replaced by
our MoqiZone Network, we believe that certain parties who are currently
fulfilling certain functions in the online game value chain might be affected in
some ways.
Wholesale
distributors: Due to the large physical area of China, most online game
companies will appoint different levels of wholesale distributors to help them
to distribute their pre-paid cards to retailers and internet
café. They are usually required to stock the prepaid card and make
advance payments. Our business model will eliminate some of these
distributers and work directly with internet cafes. These
distributors will continue to exist have only limited influence to our business.
Major wholesale distributors in China include: Junnet; www.untx.com; SIFANG
TECHNOLOGY and Federal Soft.
Internet Data
Center, or Server Farms : As
we provide for “free of charge” services for online game companies to host their
game servers in the MoqiZone Network, traditional IDC may lose some of their
server hosting business from online game companies. Currently most
independent IDC are running at low profit as their bandwidth costs are
controlled by the top 3 telecom providers in China. For those IDC
owned by Telecom companies, they only service to local broadband clients, they
do not provide national services.
Last mile
internet connection providers (ADSL/T1) : Our MoqiZone WiMAX
Network only connect internet cafés which are installed with our WiMAX equipment
wirelessly to access our digital entertainment contents hosted in our CERNET
IDC. We will divert some internet traffic for online games, and therefore
internet cafés can reduce their bandwidth requirement from their current telecom
providers. Internet cafés will still require Internet bandwidth
access for non-game functions such as Internet browsing, emails, other portal
access, or other web based function such as online chats as we are providing a
close network environment and do not access the Internet (or world wide web).
The bandwidth demand, however, will become much lesser. We assume
that broadband service provision to internet café generate a very small
business income for local telecom companies, and, as a result, it is
very unlikely that we will significantly affect their major
revenue.

Proceedings
In
January 2009, Shanghai Moqizone entered into an Exclusive Business Cooperation
Agreement and certain ancillary agreements, including an Equity Pledge
Agreement, Exclusive Option Agreement, Loan Agreement and Irrevocable Power of
Attorney (the “SZ Mellow Agreements”) with SZ Mellow. This
arrangement was necessary as a foreign owned company, such as Moqizone, cannot
directly hold an ISP license in China, As a result, similar VIE arrangements,
whereby the ISP license is held by a domestically owned Chinese company but the
operations are directed by the foreign owned entity, are
common. Pursuant to our agreement with SZ Mellow, we had a right to
direct and control the management of SZ Mellow and an option to purchase the
equity of SZ Mellow in the event that Chinese law permits such acquisition.
Following our successful capital raise and entry to the U.S. capital markets,
the Chinese shareholders of SZ Mellow, who are also parties to the VIE
agreements between Moqizone and SZ Mellow refused to cooperate with management
of Moqizone and demanded additional consideration beyond what was set forth
in the existing agreements. MoqiZone considered that the shareholders were
acting in contravention of the existing VIE agreements and consulted legal
counsel with regard to potential remedies. On September 21, 2009, we
served SZ Mellow and their respective shareholders a demand letter pursuant to
the VIE Agreement demanding, amongst other things, the return of approximately
US$117,647 (RMB800,000) cash, capital equipment and also provided a 30 day
notice to terminate VIE agreement. As of December 31, 2009, we have
not had any response from the shareholders of the SZ Mellow in relation to our
demands. We have been advised that the serving of the 30 day notice is
sufficient to terminate the VIE Agreement between the Company and SZ
Mellow. Accordingly, The SZ Mellow Agreements were terminated at the expiry of
the 30-day notice on October 20, 2009. The Company is considering taking legal
action against the SZ Mellow and the shareholders of SZ Mellow in order to
enforce our further demands.
On
September 25, 2009 we have entered into new VIE agreements with SZ Alar, details
of which please refer to our 8K of September 25, 2009. The shareholders of SZ
Alar are Mr. Zheng Wei, Mr. Jiang Jin Kun and Mr. Xiong Ping Bo. Mr. Zheng Wei
is also the Chairman of Tai Ji and also is acting as one of our
consultant.
Other
than the abovementioned litigation matters, neither we nor any of our direct or
indirect subsidiaries is a party to, nor is any of our property the subject of,
any legal proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to their
respective businesses. There are no proceedings pending in which any
of our officers, directors or 5% shareholders are adverse to us or any of our
subsidiaries or in which they are taking a position or have a material interest
that is adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries.
Neither
we nor any of our subsidiaries is a party to any administrative or judicial
proceeding arising under federal, state or local environmental laws or their
Chinese counterparts.
From time
to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our
operations in the normal course of business.
37
Property
We
currently do not own any property and all of our offices are through rental
agreements. Our rental cost in Hong Kong is approximately $2,000 per month (with
3 staff and as registered office for MobiZone Hong Kong), Shanghai is
approximately $6,000 per month (with 45 staff and as register office of Shanghai
MoqiZone) and Shenzhen is approximately $1,000 per month (with 1 staff and as
registered office for SZ Alar). We also have a representative office in Chengdu
and the rental is approximately $500 (with 5 staff).

On
October 14, 2010, the closing bid price of the Common Stock was $0.55 and we had
approximately 83 record holders of our Common Stock. This number excludes any
estimate by us of the number of beneficial owners of shares held in street name,
the accuracy of which cannot be guaranteed.
Dividend
Policy
We have
never declared or paid dividends on our Common Stock. We intend to
retain earnings, if any, to support the development of our business and
therefore do not anticipate paying cash dividends for the foreseeable
future. Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at the
discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors,
including current financial condition, operating results and current and
anticipated cash needs.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of
Directors
Moqizone
Holding Corporation (A Development Stage Company)
Hong
Kong, China
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Moqizone Holding Corporation (A
Development Stage Company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and
the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in owners’
equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the periods from inception (August 29,
2007) to December 31, 2009 and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
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.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. 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 includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
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.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As shown in Note 3 to the accompanying
financial statements, the Company has sustained a loss since inception of
$24,671,816 and the Company has only earned revenues of US $1,372 for the year
ended December 31, 2009. In addition, the Company has a working capital
deficiency of $25,223,291 as of December 31, 2009. These factors, among others,
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Moqizone Holding Corporation (A
Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the periods from inception (August 29,
2007) to December 31, 2009 and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
