ASPIRE INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIXMONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2009
(Unaudited)

1.    NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aspire International, Inc. (the “Company” or “Aspire”, formerly Perfisans Holdings, Inc.) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Perfisans Networks Corporation and Mega Bond Group (Hong Kong) Limited (“Mega Bond”). Perfisans Networks Corporation includes the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Perfisans Networks (Taiwan) Corporation and Aspire (GuangXi) Inc. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company has funded its operations to date mainly through the issuance of shares.
 
Mega Bond’s business activity involved the sale of electronic components up to the end of March 31, 2009.  Mega Bond ceased business operations in the second quarter of 2009.  It is management’s intention to close the Mega Bond office in fiscal 2011.
 
We have ceased business operations at our Taiwan branch, Perfisans Networks (Taiwan) Corporation effective the second quarter of 2009.  It is management’s intention to close the Taiwan branch in fiscal 2011.
 
2.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the SEC instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the six month period ended 30 June 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending 31 December 2009.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2008.
 
3.    GOING CONCERN
 
Certain principal conditions and events are prevalent which indicate that there could be substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. These include:
 
1)  
Recurring operating losses
2)  
Stockholders’ deficiency
3)  
Working capital deficiency
4)  
Adverse key financial ratios
 
The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional financing and ultimately attain and maintain profitable operations from commercialization of its intellectual property.
 
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

4.    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, ―Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). This ASU modifies the first step of the goodwill impairment test to include reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For these reporting units, the second step of the goodwill impairment test shall be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any, when it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company has evaluated the ASU and does not believe it will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, ―Business Combinations (Topic 805). This ASU specifies that if a company presents comparative financial statements, the company should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The ASU also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the pro forma revenue and earnings. This ASU is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company has evaluated the ASU and does not believe it will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASU 2011-01, “Receivables (Topic 310), Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20” — Under the existing effective date in FASB ASU 2010-20, public-entity creditors would have provided disclosures about troubled debt restructuring for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. ASU 2011-01 temporarily defers that effective date, enabling public-entity creditors to provide those disclosures (paragraphs 310-10-50-31 through 50-34) after the Financial Accounting Standards Board clarifies the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debtrestructuring. In the proposed Accounting Standards Update, Receivables (Topic 310), Clarifications to Accounting for Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, the Board proposed that the clarifications would be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. For the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in FASB ASU 2011-01, those clarifications would be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the fiscal year in which the proposal is adopted. The Company has evaluated the ASU and does not believe it will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

5.    ADVANCES RECEIVABLE
 
The Company’s subsidiary Aspire GuangXi executed a manganese ore mining distribution and management agreement in China with the mine owner and a management company. From the proceeds of the mining operation, Aspire GuangXi is required to distribute 30% to the management company who is responsible to incur all operating expenses. As ofJune 30, 2009, Aspire GuangXi has a receivable of $516,768, as a result of paying for certain expenses on behalf of the management company and to enable it to commence mining operations. Once the mine commences operations the Company is expected to receive repayment of these advances.

On 14 February 2011, the Company disposed of its subsidiary Perfisans Networks Corporation, and consequently its primary mining operations, contained in its subsidiary Aspire GuangXi Inc.

Additionally, on 14 February 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Candid Global Resources (Hong Kong) Ltd., which agreed to sell 100%  of its assets, including the sub-entity known as “Mygos” and related trademarks and intellectual property in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of Aspire.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We are still in the process of developing and implementing our plan of operations and raising additional capital. As such, management is taking action to obtain additional funding.
 
At June 30, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $22,997,157 and negative working capital of $6,724,829. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash used in operating activities amounted to $78,774 as compared to $93,974 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
 
In March 2004, we borrowed $250,000 from an unaffiliated lender. The loan bears interest at 2% per month and is payable on July 3, 2004 or upon our receipt of at least $4,000,000 of proceeds from the sale of stock. In October 30, 2004 we increased the borrowed amount from the same lender to $392,208 which bears an interest at 3% per month. The total amount of the loan with principal and interest was $1,698,071 as at June 30, 2009. We are currently in the process of extending the loan period. We intend to repay such loans out of proceeds from future additional funding raised by sale of stock.
 
We have a promissory note in the amount of $1,698,071that bears interest at 3% per month, with principal and interest payable at December 31, 2005. Management is in default of the payment on maturity and is currently in discussions with the lender to revise the terms. The new terms have not been finalized or agreed to by either side and the lender has not demanded repayment.
 
At June 30, 2009, we had no material commitments for capital expenditures other than for those expenditures incurred for the mining operations.

It is not anticipated that further financing will need to be raised to carry out our business plans for Mygos for fiscal 2011.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. To the extent that actual results differ from those estimates, our future results of operations may be affected. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
 
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 3 of our annual financial statements filed on Form 10-K on May 4, 2009.  While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, the Company views certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
 
The Company’s business activities contain elements of risk. The Company considers a principal type of market risk to be a valuation risk. All assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors (which is based, in part, on quoted market prices). Market prices of common equity securities in general, are subject to fluctuations which could cause the amount to be realized upon sale to differ significantly from the current reported value. The fluctuations may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the Company’s portfolio companies, the relative prices of alternative investments, general market conditions and supply and demand imbalances for a particular security.

Neither the Company’s investments nor an investment in the Company is intended to constitute a balanced investment program. The Company will be subject to exposure in the public market pricing and the risks inherent therein.
 
ITEM 4T.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and principle accounting officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act).

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be presented or detected on a timely basis.

Based on management’s assessment, we have concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the material weaknesses identified below:

Inherent in small business is the pervasive problem of segregation of duties. Given that the Company only employs two executive officers, one of which is a director, segregation of duties is not possible at this stage in the corporate lifecycle. We are planning to mitigate this risk by hiring an adequate amount of staff in the future in order to segregate incompatible duties. We do not presently possess the necessary funds to hire such staff. Until this time that we have adequate funds to hire additional staff, the board will be actively involved in reviewing all significant transactions which are subject to this weakness.

This weakness was identified by our auditors during the audit of the December 31, 2008 fiscal year as filed on Amended Form 10-K. This weakness has existed since inception of the Company and has not been remedied as of June 30, 2009.
 
(b) Changes in Internal Controls
 
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
In the normal course of business, the Company is, and in the future may be, subject to various disputes, claims, lawsuits, and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business with respect to commercial, employment and other matters, which could involve substantial amounts of damages. In the opinion of management, any liability related to any such known proceedings would have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.  Additionally, from time to time, we may pursue litigation against third parties to enforce or protect our rights under our contracts, trademarks, trade secrets and our intellectual property rights generally.  At the present time, the Company is not the subject of any lawsuits or claims.
