FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and related prospectus supplements contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities law. Words such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "continue," "predict," or other similar words, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this prospectus and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectation about, among other things, trends affecting the markets in which we operate, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and growth strategies. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus. If any of the events described in "Risk Factors" occur, they could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation, cash flow, and growth strategies. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep these factors in mind as well as the other cautionary statements in this prospectus. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. We are not obligated to update forward-looking statements.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information and does not contain all the information that may be important to you. You should carefully read this prospectus, any related prospectus supplement and the documents we have referred you to in "Where You Can Find More Information" on page 42 before making an investment in our common stock, including the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 10.  In this prospectus, references to "Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Vecast Inc. and our subsidiaries including Vecast China Co., Ltd., Vecast Software Co., Ltd., and Vecast Info. Co., Ltd., a Vecast China Co., Ltd. subsidiary incorporated in May, 2012.

OUR COMPANY

Vecast Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on April 11, 2003.  On September 22, 2004, we completed the formation and registration procedure of a wholly-owned subsidiary Vecast China Co., Ltd. (“VCC” or “Vecast China”) in Beijing, China. On November 1, 2004, we completed the formation and registration procedure of another wholly-owned subsidiary Vecast Software Co., Ltd. (“VSC” or “Vecast Software”) in Beijing, China.  Through these wholly owned subsidiaries in China, we have been engaged in the business of developing and selling in China the equipment and software that allows Triple-Play service (telephone, cable television, and broadband internet) to be delivered via cable television networks. On May 17, 2012, Vecast China completed the formation and registration of Vecast Info. Co., Ltd. (“Vecast Info.”), a wholly owned subsidiary in Nanjing, China.  Its business license will cover the business scope of Vecast China and Vecast Software and will become a construction, R&D and production base for Vecast China and Vecast Software.  Further, Vecast Info. will build the new R&D and production facility, which will cover an area of 160 acres, including office buildings, factories and ancillary facilities, in Nanjing, China.

Prior to 2010, Triple-Play service was restricted by the Chinese government.  In 2010, the Chinese government loosened the restrictions and nominated 12 pilot cities for the introduction of Triple-Play services on cable television networks.  The Chinese government also laid out a three to five year timetable for nationwide deployment, as further described in the section entitled “Market Overview” found on page 27.

We have been preparing for the deployment of Triple-Play service since 2003.  In our preparation, we have conducted research and development, established customer relationships, and cooperated with a number of cable television operators.  We believe our experience will give us an advantage in selling our products to cable television network operators in China.

Later this year, Vecast Software will change its business direction and will engage mainly in the research and development of energy-saving, optics-related products, which will be manufactured at the new factory in Nanjing.  Preliminary stages of this research and development effort are already underway.  Through the factory in Nanjing, the Company will develop Nano-Ceramic Solar Protection Window Films products, used mainly in the adhesive in the outside window of automotive and building glass, providing good quality thermal insulation and heat preservation.  The first sample will be sent before the end of this year to the National Glass Quality Supervision and Inspection Center for testing.  In addition, a few prototypes will be distributed to potential customers in China to test the market.  If the market reaction is satisfactory, then the Company will make arrangements for the production and sale of the products.  Before the factory completes its construction in Nanjing, the production will be arranged through OEM.

Our principal office of business in China is currently located at 7th floor, Building H, BDA International Plaza, Beijing Economic & Technological Development District, Beijing, China 100176, but will move to Nanjing once the new factory is complete.  Our U.S. office is located at 2 N. Lake Avenue, Suite 870, Pasadena, CA 91101.  Our U.S. telephone number is 626-666-3909 and facsimile number is 626-666-5882.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, including the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of our Company, before deciding to invest in our common stock.  The risks described below are not the only ones facing our Company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we presently consider immaterial may also adversely affect our Company.  If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations and the value of our common stock could be materially and adversely affected.

Any investment in our common stock involves certain degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this registration statement before deciding whether to purchase any of our securities. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by these risks if any of them actually occur.  None of our securities are currently listed or quoted for trading on any national securities exchange or national quotation system. If and when our securities are traded, the trading price could decline due to any of these risks, and an investor may lose all or part of his investment. Some of these factors have affected our financial condition and operating results in the past or are currently affecting us. This filing also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks faced described below and elsewhere in this registration statement.

Risks Related To Our Operations

We have operated at a loss and there is no assurance that we will achieve substantial profitability.

As a company in the early stage of development, our limited history of operations makes evaluation of our business and future prospects difficult.  We have had a limited operating history and are in an early stage of development.  As a result of these factors, it is difficult to evaluate our prospects and our future success is more uncertain than if we had a longer or more proven history of operations. We are operating at an early stage to establish the market foundation and there is no assurance that we will achieve substantial profitability.  We recorded a net loss of $565,077 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and a net loss of $1,216,432 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Our inability to fund our capital expenditure requirements may adversely affect our growth and profitability.

Our continued growth is dependent upon our ability to generate more revenue from our existing business and raise capital from outside sources. We believe that in order to continue to capture additional market share, we will have to raise more capital to fund our business operations. In the future we may be unable to obtain the necessary financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms, and our failure to do so may adversely affect our financial position, competitive position, growth and profitability. Our ability to obtain acceptable financing at any time may depend on a number of factors, including our financial condition and results of operations, the condition of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) economy and the digital cable television industry and the energy saving film industry in the PRC, and conditions in relevant financial markets in the United States, the PRC and elsewhere in the world.

We may raise additional capital through a securities offering that could dilute our ownership interest and voting rights.

Under Delaware laws, the power of the board of directors to issue shares of common stock, preferred stock or warrants or options to purchase shares of our stock is generally not subject to shareholder approval. We may require substantial working capital to fund our business. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of additional common stock or securities convertible into common stock by our board of directors will also have the effect of diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our common stock.

Our intellectual property rights may not provide meaningful protection for our products under development, which could enable third parties to use our technology, or very similar technology, and could prevent us from developing or marketing our product candidates.
 
 
 
10

 

We rely on patent and trade secret laws to limit the ability of others to compete with us using the same or similar technology in the U.S. and other countries. However, as described below, these laws afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights to the extent necessary to sustain any competitive advantage we may have. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S., and many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting their proprietary rights abroad. These problems can be caused by the absence of adequate rules and methods for defending and enforcing intellectual property rights.

We will be able to protect our technology from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that they are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are effectively maintained as trade secrets. The patent positions of companies, including our patent position, generally are uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions, particularly as to questions concerning the enforceability of such patents against alleged infringement.  Changes in either the patent laws or in interpretations of patent laws in the U.S. and other countries may therefore diminish the value of our intellectual property. Moreover, our patent and patent applications may not be sufficiently broad to prevent others from practicing our technologies or from developing competing products. We also face the risk that others may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or design around our patented technologies.

The fact that our executive officers constitute a majority of the board of directors might undermine the ability of the board of directors to supervise and oversee the actions of executive officers.

Only one of the three board directors is not an executive officer of the Company, therefore, it is highly likely that the decisions made by our executive officers will always be approved and adopted by the board of directors due to the majority board votes possessed by our executive officers. This factor might undermine the ability of the board of directors to supervise and oversee the actions of executive officers.
 
We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property, which could cause us to be less competitive.
 
Our intellectual property rights, such as trademarks, patents and copyrights, are important to our success. Unauthorized use of any of our intellectual property may adversely affect our business and reputation. We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and patent laws to protect our intellectual property rights.  Nevertheless, it may be possible for third parties to obtain and use our intellectual property without authorization. The unauthorized use of intellectual property is widespread in China, and enforcement of intellectual property rights by Chinese regulatory agencies is inconsistent.  Moreover, litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights. Future litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of our management’s attention and resources and could disrupt our business.  If we are unable to enforce our intellectual property rights, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  Given the relative unpredictability of China’s legal system and potential difficulties enforcing a court judgment in China, we may be unable to halt the unauthorized use of our intellectual property through litigation.  Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property could materially and adversely affect our competitive position and our results of operations.

Risks Associated with Conducting a Public Offering Without an Underwriter

Since this offering is a direct public offering and is being conducted without an underwriter, there is a likelihood that we will be unable to sell any of the Offered Shares, as we do not have the access and connections to the investors and capital markets that an underwriter usually possesses. If we are unable to sell all or any of the Offered Shares, we will not be able to raise the capital we need and may have difficulty with implementing our business plan.  Further, investors will not have a right to withdraw invested funds.  If we are sued for any reason and a judgment is rendered against us, investors’ subscriptions could be seized in a garnishment proceeding and investors could lose their investment.

Risks Related To Doing Business In China

China’s economic policies could affect our business since substantially all of our assets are located in China and substantially all of our revenue is derived from our operations in China.
 
 
 
11

 

Substantially all of our assets are located in China, and substantially all of our revenue is derived from our operations in China.  Accordingly, our results of operations and prospects are subject, to a significant extent, to the economic, political and legal developments in China.

The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past two to three decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. Demand for our services and products depends, in large part, on economic conditions in China.  Any slowdown in China’s economic growth may cause our potential customers to delay or cancel their plans to purchase our services and products, which in turn could reduce our net revenues.  Although the PRC economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy since the late 1970s, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The PRC government also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through allocating resources, controlling the incurrence and payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Changes in any of these policies, laws and regulations could adversely affect the economy in China or the education or career enhancement market, which could harm our business.
 
The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage foreign investment and sustainable economic growth and to guide the allocation of financial and other resources, which have for the most part had a positive effect on our business and growth. However, we cannot assure you that the PRC government will not repeal or alter these measures or introduce new measures that will have a negative effect on us. China’s social and political conditions may also not be as stable as those of the United States and other developed countries. Any sudden changes to China’s political system or the occurrence of widespread social unrest could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
 
Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes.  Unlike common law systems, prior court decisions have limited precedential value.  We are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises.
 
Since 1979, PRC legislation and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China.  However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system and recently-enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China.  In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and their nonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties.  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 sometime after the violation.  Moreover, some regulatory requirements issued by certain PRC government authorities may not be consistently applied by other government authorities, including local government authorities, thus making strict compliance with all regulatory requirements impractical, or in some circumstances, impossible.  In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

Because the scope of our business license is limited, it may need government approval to expand or continue our business.
 
Our China subsidiaries VCC and VSC are wholly-owned foreign enterprises, commonly known as a WOFE. A WOFE can only conduct business within its approved business scope, which ultimately appears on the business license. Any amendment to the scope of our business requires further application and government approval.

According to the business license of VCC, its scope of business is: produce integrated digital television storage and broadcast system equipment, network transmitting equipment and terminal equipment; provide the technical consultation and technical services for its own products; sell its own products.

In 2012, VCC has completed the formation of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vecast Info. in Nanjing, China that will undertake the product manufacture for VCC and VSC.

According to the business license of VSC, its scope of business is: develop and produce system software and application software; sell its own products.

Our current business operations are within the scope of business provided in the business licenses of these two Chinese subsidiaries.  Since issuance of VSC’s business license, VSC’s scope of business has been expanded to include the new business to be developed in Nanjing, as described on page 6 of this prospectus and further referenced in the section titled “Use of Proceeds” on page 18.

In order for us to expand our business any further beyond the scope of our licenses, we will be required to enter into a negotiation with the authorities for the approval to expand the scope of our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the necessary government approval for any further change or expansion of our business.

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively.
 
The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive all of our revenues in RMB. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to the US parent company, or other subsidiaries outside of the PRC, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders.
 

The foreign currency exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and Renminbi could adversely affect our financial condition.

To the extent that we need to convert dollars into Renminbi for our operational needs, our financial position and the price of our common stock may be adversely affected should the Renminbi appreciate against the U.S. dollar at the time such conversion is necessary. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into dollars for the operational needs or paying dividends on our common stock, the dollar equivalent of our earnings from our subsidiary in China would be reduced should the dollar appreciate against the Renminbi. Further, our operational results are reported in U.S. dollars, and thus fluctuations in the exchange rate applied for purposes of consistent presentation may appear to exacerbate or minimize trends in our reported results.

Until 1994, the Renminbi experienced a gradual but significant devaluation against most major currencies, including U.S. dollars, and there was a significant devaluation of the Renminbi on January 1, 1994 in connection with the replacement of the dual exchange rate system with a unified managed floating rate foreign exchange system. Since 1994, the value of the Renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar has remained stable and has appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar. Countries including the United States have argued that the Renminbi is artificially undervalued due to China's current monetary policies and have pressured China to allow the Renminbi to float freely in world markets. In July 2005, the PRC government changed its policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. Dollar. Under the new policy, the Renminbi is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of designated foreign currencies. While the international reaction to the Renminbi revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in further and more significant appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar.
 
Inflation in China could negatively affect our profitability and growth.

While the Chinese economy has experienced rapid growth, such 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 money supply and rising inflation.  During the past decade, the rate of inflation in China has been as high as approximately 20% and China has experienced deflation as low as minus 2%.  If prices for our products rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in the costs of supplies, it may have an adverse effect on our profitability.

Any deterioration of political relations between the United States and the PRC could impair our operations.

The relationship between the United States and the PRC is subject to sudden fluctuation and periodic tension. Changes in political conditions in the PRC and changes in the state of Sino-U.S. relations are difficult to predict and could adversely affect our operations or cause potential acquisition candidates or their goods and services to become less attractive.  Such a change could lead to a decline in our profitability. Any weakening of relations between the United States and the PRC could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Failure to comply with PRC regulations relating to offshore investments by PRC residents may limit our ability to acquire PRC companies or to inject capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute profits to us or otherwise materially adversely affect us.

In October 2005, The PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or “SAFE,”  issued the Notice on Relevant Issues in the Foreign Exchange Control over Financing and Return Investment Through Special Purpose Companies by Residents Inside China (“Circular 75”), which required PRC residents to register with the competent local SAFE branch before establishing or acquiring control over an offshore special purpose company (“SPV”); under Circular 75, a “special purpose company” refers to an offshore entity established or controlled, directly or indirectly, by PRC residents for the purpose of seeking offshore equity financing on the strength of the domestic assets or interests owned by such PRC residents in onshore companies.  Internal implementing guidelines issued by SAFE, which became public in June 2007 (known as Notice 106), expanded the reach of Circular 75 by (1) purporting to cover the establishment or acquisition of control by PRC residents of offshore entities that merely acquire “control” over domestic companies or assets, even in the absence of legal ownership; (2) adding requirements relating to the source of the PRC resident’s funds used to establish or acquire the offshore entity; (3) covering the use of existing offshore entities for offshore financings; (4) purporting to cover situations in which an offshore SPV establishes a new subsidiary in China or acquires an unrelated company or unrelated assets in China; and (5) making the domestic affiliate of the SPV responsible for the accuracy of certain documents that must be filed in connection with any such registration, notably, the business plan, which describes the overseas financing and the use of proceeds.  Amendments to registrations made under Circular 75 are required in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, mergers and acquisitions, equity investment or creation of any security interest in any assets located in China to guarantee offshore obligations, and Notice 106 makes the offshore SPV jointly responsible for these filings.  In the case of a SPV which was established, and which acquired a related domestic company or assets, before the implementation date of Circular 75, a retroactive SAFE registration was required to have been completed before March 31, 2006; this date was subsequently extended indefinitely by Notice 106, which also required that the registrant establish that all foreign exchange transactions undertaken by the SPV and its affiliates were in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  Failure to comply with the requirements of Circular 75, as applied by SAFE in accordance with Notice 106, may result in fines and other penalties under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions.  Any such failure could also result in the SPV’s subsidiaries being impeded or prevented from distributing their profits and the proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to the SPV, or from engaging in other transfers of funds into or out of China.
 
Based on our understanding of current PRC laws, we believe our current controlling shareholder IDN Telecom Inc. (including its controlling shareholders/owners), which holds approximately 46.07% of our current total issued and outstanding stock, is not a PRC resident and is not subject to Circular 75 and Notice 106, and therefore is not required to register with the relevant branch of SAFE.

In the offering covered by this registration statement, we are only offering up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock, representing only 2.51% of our total currently issued and outstanding shares.  Assuming that we are able to sell all 1,000,000 Offered Shares, our current controlling shareholder IDN Telecom Inc. will still hold approximately 44.94% of the post-offering issued and outstanding stock.  Therefore, even after the offering, our controlling shareholder is still not a PRC resident and is not subject to Circular 75 and Notice 106, and therefore is still not required to register with the relevant branch of SAFE.

However, we cannot provide any assurances that the relevant PRC authority will not have a different opinion.  Moreover, because of uncertainty over how Circular 75 will be interpreted and implemented, and how or whether SAFE will apply it to us, we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies.  For example, our present and prospective PRC subsidiaries’ ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with Circular 75 and Notice 106 by our PRC resident beneficial holders.  Moreover, we cannot provide any assurance that in the future no PRC resident will become our controlling shareholder and subsequently become subject to Circular 75 and Notice 106.  A failure by our future PRC resident shareholders to comply with Circular 75, Notice 106 and other regulations regarding offshore investments, if SAFE requires it, could subject these PRC resident beneficial holders to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

Due to various restrictions under PRC laws on the distribution of dividends by our PRC operating companies, we may not be able to pay dividends to our stockholders.
 
The Wholly-Foreign Owned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended and the Wholly-Foreign Owned Enterprise Law Implementing Rules (1990), as amended, and the Company Law of the PRC (2006) contain the principal regulations governing dividend distributions by wholly foreign owned enterprises.  Under these regulations, wholly foreign owned enterprises may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations.  Accumulated profits have to offset previous accumulated deficit.  The foreign-funded company would then reserve (extract) at least 10% of after-tax profits for staff and workers’ bonus and welfare fund.  When the amount accumulated in the reserve fund reaches 50% of the company’s registered capital, no further funds can be extracted.  The company would then decide how to allocate and distribute, as dividends, monies from the reserve fund.  Our subsidiaries Vecast China Co., Ltd. and Vecast Software Co., Ltd. are each a Wholly-Foreign Owned Enterprise subject to these regulations. Furthermore, if any one of our PRC subsidiaries incurs debt on its own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments.  If we or our subsidiaries and affiliated entities are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations due to these contractual or dividend arrangements, we may be unable to pay dividends on our common stock. Since our current subsidiaries were formed under PRC laws and were subject to PRC’s restriction on foreign currency exchange and distribution of dividends, they are currently restricted in their ability to pay dividends. Our shareholders may not be able to receive dividends payment and their interest may also be impaired due to these restrictions.

As wholly foreign owned enterprises, our subsidiaries may not expand their business operations into certain areas and industries.

Chinese government limits foreign investments in certain industries such as energy, media and tourism. Our Chinese subsidiaries, as wholly foreign owned enterprises, may not be permitted by Chinese government to invest or operate in those restricted industries. We do not intend to invest or operate in those restricted industries; however, the fact that we are being restricted from investing or operating in those industries poses significant restriction on our scope of business operation and limits our business options.
 
Failure to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

 We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with the Company, are not subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices may occur from time-to-time in the PRC.  We can make no assurance, however, that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible.  If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any recurrence of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, the Avian Flu, or another widespread public health problem in the PRC could adversely affect our operations.

A renewed outbreak of SARS, the Avian Flu or another widespread public health problem in China, where all of our manufacturing facilities are located and where all of our sales occur, could have a negative effect on our operations. Such an outbreak could have an impact on our operations as a result of: quarantines or closures of some of our manufacturing facilities, which would severely disrupt our operations; the sickness or death of our key officers and employees, and a general slowdown in the Chinese economy. Any of the foregoing events or other unforeseen consequences of public health problems could adversely affect our operations.
 
 
 
15

 
 
 
We may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China based upon U.S. laws, including the federal securities laws or other foreign laws against us or our management.

All of our current operations are conducted in China. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon these persons. In addition, uncertainty exists as to whether the courts of China would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or such officers and/or directors predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof, or be competent to hear original actions brought in China against us or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

Risks Related to Corporate and Stock Matters

There is no existing market for our common stock, and we do not know if one will develop, which could impede our ability to sell your shares and depress our stock price.
 
There has not been a public market for our common stock prior to this offering.  We cannot predict the extent to which a trading market will develop or how liquid that market might become.  If you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will pay a price that was not established in the public trading markets. The Offered Shares will be sold at a fixed price of $6.60 per share.  You may not be able to resell your shares above this initial public offering price and may suffer a loss on your investment.

Broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. Factors that could cause fluctuations in our stock price may include, among other things:
 
•    actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;
 
•    changes in financial estimates by us or by any securities analysts who might cover our stock;

•    conditions or trends in our industry, including trading volumes, regulatory changes or changes in the securities marketplace;

•    changes in the market valuations of other companies operating in our industry;
 
•    announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or divestitures;

•    announcements of investigations or regulatory scrutiny of our operations or lawsuits filed against us;
 
•    additions or departures of key personnel; and

•    sales of our common stock, including sales of our common stock by our directors and officers or our strategic investors.

The market price for our common stock may be volatile

The market price for our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors including the following: actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results, announcements of new services by us or our competitors, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other companies involved in the same industry, announcements by our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic  partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments, additions or departures of key personnel, potential litigation, or conditions in the market.

 
16

 
 
           In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Shareholders could experience substantial dilution

We may issue additional shares of our capital stock to raise additional cash for working capital.  If we issue additional shares of our capital stock, our shareholders will experience dilution in their respective percentage ownership in the Company.

We have no present intention to pay dividends

We have not paid dividends or made other cash distributions on our common stock, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.  We intend to retain any future earnings for working capital and to finance current operations and expansion of our business.

A large portion of our common stock is controlled by a small number of shareholders

A large portion of our common stock is held by a single shareholder.  IDN Telecom Inc., a California corporation and our largest shareholder, holds 18,315,000 shares of common stock, representing approximately 46.07% of our current issued and outstanding stock.  Jiawen Technology Development Group Co., Ltd., a PRC corporation (“Jiawen Technology”) and our second largest shareholder, holds only 3,550,000 shares of common stock, representing approximately 8.93% of our current issued and outstanding stock, which is less than 10%.

Therefore, approximately 55% of our currently issued and outstanding shares are controlled by our two largest shareholders.  Assuming we only sell 25% of the Offered Shares (250,000 shares), IDN Telecom Inc. and Jiawen Technology  will still hold 45.78% and 8.87% of post-offering issued and outstanding stock, respectively, and IDN Telecom Inc. would still remain the controlling shareholder.  Assuming we only sell 50% of the Offered Shares (500,000 shares), IDN Telecom Inc. and Jiawen Technology will still hold  45.50% and 8.82% of post-offering issued and outstanding stock, respectively, and IDN Telecom Inc. would still remain the controlling shareholder.  Assuming we only sell 75% of the Offered Shares (750,000 shares), IDN Telecom Inc. and Jiawen Technology will still hold 45.22% and 8.76% of post-offering issued and outstanding stock, respectively, and IDN Telecom Inc. would still remain the controlling shareholder.  Assuming that we sell all the 1,000,000 shares of common stock in this offering, IDN Telecom Inc. and Jiawen Technology will still hold 44.94% and 8.71% of our post-offering issued and outstanding stock, respectively, and IDN Telecom Inc. would still remain the controlling shareholder.  Our transactions with IDN Telecom Inc., which would be considered related party transactions, are described below in Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, commencing on page 40.

As a result, these shareholders are able to influence the outcome of shareholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and extraordinary corporate transactions including business combinations.  In addition, the occurrence of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock, or the perception that these sales could occur, may affect our stock price and could impair our ability to obtain capital through an offering of equity securities. Furthermore, the current ratios of ownership of our common stock reduce the public float and liquidity of our common stock which can in turn affect the market price of our common stock.

We may be subject to "penny stock" regulations

The Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).  Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. A broker-dealer must also provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer, and our sales person in the
 
 
 
 
17

 
 
transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.  In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for stock that becomes subject to those penny stock rules.  These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities. Whenever any of our securities become subject to the penny stock rules, holders of those securities may have difficulty in selling those securities.

We are subject to federal and state securities laws and regulations and failure to comply with or changes in such laws and regulations may adversely affect us or increase substantially the disclosure required by us

 We are also regulated by state and federal securities regulators. These regulations are designed to protect investors in securities that we have sold and may sell in the future.  Congress and state legislatures and foreign, federal and state regulatory agencies continually review laws, regulations and policies for possible changes. Changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, including interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways including limiting the types of securities we may issue or increasing substantially the disclosure required by us.

 When this Form S-1 registration statement becomes effective, we will become a reporting company that is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and we will be required to provide current and adequate information on periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Since we are a corporation incorporated in the United States, we may also be subject to the securities regulations of various states.  As a company engaged in the business of developing and providing triple-play equipment, products and services, we are subject to regulation with regard to: our sales practices, including our interaction with and solicitation of customers and our marketing activities, account statements, record-keeping and retention; making regular financial and other reports to regulators; anti-money laundering practices; the conduct of our directors, officers, employees and affiliates; and supervision of our business.  Compliance with these regulations is complicated, time consuming and expensive.  Even minor, inadvertent irregularities can potentially give rise to claims that applicable laws and regulations have been violated.  Failure to comply with all potentially applicable laws and regulations could lead to fines and other penalties that could adversely affect our revenues and our ability to conduct our business as planned.  In addition, we could incur significant legal expenses in defending ourselves against and resolving actions or investigations by such regulatory agencies.



USE OF PROCEEDS

Our offering is being made on a self-underwritten basis-- no minimum of shares must be sold in order for the offering to proceed.  The offering price per share is fixed at $ 6.60 per share for the duration of the offering.  There is no assurance that we will raise the full $ 6,600,000 as anticipated but priority in use of funds will go to our new facility in Nanjing, China, which is already underway.  The new facility will allow us to expand our research and development of cable TV network technologies and software to include energy-saving equipment production and services, as described elsewhere in this prospectus.  In time, most of our business in China will be moved to this new facility.  If offering proceeds are not adequate to meet our needs for the new facility and related equipment/inventory/furniture purchases, we will take on debt via bank loans.  The following table below sets forth the uses of proceeds assuming the sale of 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the securities offered for sale in this offering by the Company.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The price of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us to raise up to a total of $ 6,600,000 in this offering.  The offering price bears no relationship to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value.  Among the factors considered were: our operating history; the proceeds to be raised by the offering; the amount of capital to be contributed by purchasers in this offering in proportion to the amount of stock to be retained by our existing stockholders; and our relative cash requirements.
 
DILUTION

Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering.  Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders.

As of November 30, 2012, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was $ 7,625,287 or approximately $0.19 per share based upon 39,752,400 shares outstanding.  Our anticipated costs associated with the completion of this offering are approximately $141,471.
 
If 100% of the offered 1,000,000 shares of common stock are sold:  Upon completion of this offering, in the event all of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 40,752,400 shares to be outstanding will be approximately $ 14,083,816 or approximately $0.35  per share.  The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.16  per share without any additional investment on their part.  After completion of this offering, if 1,000,000 shares are sold, the purchasers of the offered 1,000,000 shares of common stock will own 2.45% of the total number of shares then outstanding and our existing stockholders will own 97.55 % of the total number of shares then outstanding.

If 75% of the offered 1,000,000 shares of common stock are sold:  Upon completion of this offering, in the event 750,000 shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 40,502,400 shares to be outstanding will be approximately $ 12,433,816  or approximately $0.31  per share.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

This prospectus relates to the offering of 1,000,000 shares of common stock of Vecast Inc.  We are governed by Delaware law and the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.  Our authorized capital consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $ 0.0001 par value, and 2,400,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $ 0.0001.  Our board of directors, in their sole discretion, may establish par value, divide the shares of preferred stock into series, and fix and determine the dividend rate, designations, preferences, privileges, and ratify the powers, if any, and determine the restrictions and qualifications of any series of preferred stock as established.

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $ 0.0001 par value per share.  Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote, either in person or by proxy, on all matters that may be voted upon by the holders at meetings of the stockholders.  Holders of our common stock have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefor, if declared by the Board of Directors; are entitled to share ratably in all our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up; do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions; and are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote at all meetings of our stockholders.  The holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of outstanding shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of our directors if they so choose and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.

Preferred Stock

Our Board of Directors, pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, is authorized to issue up to 2,400,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.0001, all of which are designated as “Series A Preferred Stock” or “Preferred Stock” and to fix the voting rights, liquidation preferences, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption rights and terms, including sinking fund provisions, and certain other rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock.  The Board of Directors, without stockholder approval, can therefore issue Preferred Stock with voting, conversion and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of, and amounts payable with respect to, the Common Stock.  This may be deemed to have a potential anti-takeover effect because the issuance of Preferred Stock in accordance with such provision may delay, defer or prevent a change of control regarding us and could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.

The Board of Directors has designated all Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock.  On September 12, 2003, we issued 840,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Cirmaker Industry Co. Ltd.  These shares of issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock have been converted to common stock, transferred to Cirmaker Technology Co. Ltd., and were transferred by Cirmaker Technology Co. Ltd. to a group of non-US individuals.  As of September 30, 2012, there are no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.

Cash Dividends

As of the date of this prospectus, we have not declared or paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings in our business operations.

Anti-Takeover Provisions
 
As a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  In general, Section 203 prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder unless certain specific requirements are met as set forth in Section 203.  Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own) 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The existence of these provisions would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by our Board of Directors.  These provisions, alone or together, could have the effect of deterring or delaying changes in incumbent management, proxy contests or changes in control.
 
 
 
21

 

However, there are exceptions to the provisions contained in Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  One of the exceptions is: “…(4) The corporation does not have a class of voting stock that is: (i) Listed on a national securities exchange; or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders, unless any of the foregoing results from action taken, directly or indirectly, by an interested stockholder or from a transaction in which a person becomes an interested stockholder;”

Currently we do not have any class of voting stock listed on a national securities exchange and we do not have more than 2,000 stockholders on record.  Therefore, Delaware anti takeover provisions currently do not affect us.

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

Our Business and Products

Vecast Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on April 11, 2003.  On September 22, 2004, we completed the formation and registration procedure of a wholly owned subsidiary Vecast China Co., Ltd. (“VCC” or “Vecast China”), in Beijing, China.  On November 1, 2004, we completed the formation and registration procedure of another wholly owned subsidiary Vecast Software Co., Ltd. (“VSC” or “Vecast Software”), also in Beijing, China.  Through these wholly-owned subsidiaries in China, we develop equipment that allows Triple-Play service (telephone, cable television, and broadband internet) to be delivered via cable television networks.  We recently completed the formation of a third wholly-owned subsidiary under Vecast China in China, Vecast Info. Co., Ltd., which will undertake the product manufacture for Vecast China and Vecast Software as referenced below and  in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds” found on page 18.

Prior to 2010, Triple-Play service was restricted by the Chinese government.  In 2010, the Chinese government loosened the restrictions and nominated 12 pilot cities for the introduction of Triple-Play service on cable television networks.  The Chinese government also laid out a three to five year schedule for nationwide deployment, as further described in the section entitled “Market Overview” found on page 27.

We have been preparing for the deployment of Triple-Play service since 2003.  In our preparation, we have conducted research and development, established customer relationships, and cooperated with a number of cable television operators.  We believe our experience will give us an advantage in selling our products to cable television network operators in China.

Later this year, Vecast Software will change its business direction and will engage mainly in the research and development of energy-saving, optics-related products, which will be manufactured at the new factory in Nanjing.  Preliminary stages of this research and development effort are already underway.  Through the factory in Nanjing, the Company will develop Nano-Ceramic Solar Protection Window Films products, used mainly in the adhesive in the outside window of automotive and building glass, providing good quality thermal insulation and heat preservation.  The first sample will be sent before the end of this year to the National Glass Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, for testing.  In addition, a few prototypes will be distributed to potential customers in China, to test the market.  If the market reaction is good, then the Company will make arrangements for the production and sale of the products.  Before the factory in Nanjing completes its construction, the products will be manufactured through OEM.

We sell our electronics products to cable operators either on a standalone basis or as a packaged solution where we offer consulting and technical support as well.  We may also assist cable operators with the design and construction of their Triple-Play network system and enter into revenue sharing arrangements where we are paid a percentage of subscriber fees.

Our electronics products currently include:
 
 
1. Cable operator devices: Cable operator devices are used by cable operators for the collection, transmission, and management of television signals and internet data.  We provide several types of cable operator devices, which are part of the solution package sold to customers (they are not sold separately).  The different types of cable operator devices can be divided into the following categories:
 
 
*   Television broadcasting system: used for the transmission and reception of television signals.  Our devices can accommodate more than 150 high-definition (“HD”) and standard definition (“SD”) channels with conditional access.
 
 
*   Interactive server: used for the storage and transmission of programs.  Our devices can store over 10,000 hours of TV programs and play back of 30 channels of programs previously aired.
 
 
*   Cable modem termination system (“CMTS”): used to provide high speed data services, such as video-on-demand, cable internet, and other value added services.
 
 
 
25

 
 
 
*  Service Management Software (“SMS”): used for user management, database management, statistical analysis, data mining, etc.
 
 
*   Bi-directional transmission equipment: used to manage bi-directional transmissions.  Our devices use both radio frequency over glass (“RFoG”) and Wi-Fi technologies.  Wi-Fi is used when it is too costly to build RFoG over existing hybrid fiber-coaxial (“HFC”) areas.
 
 
2. Subscriber devices: Subscriber devices are supplied to cable subscribers for use at home.  Our devices include traditional set-top boxes that are HD/SD compatible, integrated set-top boxes (“I-STB”) with multiple features (e.g., wi-fi, VoIP, etc.), and cable modems that support broadband internet and bi-directional data transmission.
 
 
Patents
 
We have been awarded two technology patents: “Jumping Frequency” and “Integrated bi-directional set-top box” that are important core values of the Company, as a basis to achieve its business objectives.  The first one primarily solves, in our opinion, the low and unstable speed of cable broadband Internet.  The latter simplifies multiple services to a single subscriber device, avoids home installation and reduces equipment cost by consolidating multiple functions into a single device. The Integration of “Triple Play” services faces two challenges: narrow network spectrum and bi-directional cable transmission.  We believe that the “Jumping Frequency” (patent effective until 2025) and “Integrated Bi-Directional Set-top Box”patent effective until 2015technologies will allow Vecast to meet these challenges.  “Jumping Frequency” (CM frequency jumping methods, CM, and its transmission system) will, we believe, substantially increase network transfer rates.  The patented “Integrated Bi-Directional Set-top Box” device is a subscriber device that will offer cable TV Triple-Play service in full spectrum.
 
Manufacturing

Vecast primarily contracts the production of its electronics products to original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”).  In the future, the Company intends to construct its own production facilities so that it can shift production away from OEMs and towards in-house production.

 
1. Cable operator devices:
 
 
*    Television broadcasting system: production contracted to Beijing Mingxin Technologies Co. Ltd.  Vecast can contract out to another company within 3 months if Vecast loses this contractor.
 
 
*   Interactive server: contracted to EnReach Technology Inc.  Vecast can contract out to another company within 3 months if Vecast loses this contractor.
 
 
*    CMTS:  made by Casa System Inc.  Vecast can contract out to another company within 3 months if Vecast loses this contractor.
 
 
*    SMSsoftware is developed and owned by Vecast.
 
 
*    RFoG and Wi-Fi AP: We master the production technology and have the ability to manufacture.  We will determine whether to entrust to other factories of self-manufacture based on production cost.

 
 
2.
Subscriber devices:  In the past, set-top boxes and cable modems were manufactured and sold as two separate products.  Since the Chinese government started to promote Triple-Play in 2010, we repositioned the set-top box as the primary subscriber device with the cable modem as a plug in module.  In addition to the cable modem module, VoIP and Wi-Fi modules can also be plugged into the set-top box.
 
 
* Set-top boxWe own the proprietary rights and intellectual property rights to our entire product line of set-top boxes, including technology, design, software, brands and trademarks.  Currently, because of low production volume and cost considerations, Vecast contracts production out to other manufacturers instead of producing the products in-house.  The Company’s set-top box manufacturer is Huizhou Jiu-Lian Technology Co. Ltd. (“Jiu-Lian”), located at 18th Floor, Huayang Building, Yan-Da 1st Road, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, China, Zip 516001.  Besides Jiu-Lian, the Company can also contract out to other factories.  There will not be adverse effects if we lose Jiu-Lian.
 
 
 
26

 
 
 
* Cable modem:  From 2003 to 2008, the production of cable modems was contracted to IDN Telecom, Inc. (“IDN Telecom”).  IDN Telecom subcontracted the production to Ming Shuo Electronics (Su Zhou) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Taiwan ASUSTek Computer Inc.  The production facility address of Ming Shuo Electronics (Su Zhou) Co., Ltd. is No. 233, New District, Golden Maple Road, Suzhou City, Jiansu Province, China.  The last order was completed in 2009.
 
In 2009, we ended the contract with IDN Telecom and began manufacturing cable modems in-house.  We have a factory in Beijing, China that is leased from Beijing Zhong Ming Ce-Kong Co. for this purpose.
 
Business Model
 
Market Overview
 
Prior to 2010, the market size for our electronics products was fairly small because the Chinese government set restrictions on the development of cable value added services.  In 2010, the Chinese government relaxed those restrictions and opened up the value added service market by nominating 12 pilot cities for the introduction of Triple-Play services on cable television networks.  The Chinese government also laid out a three to five year schedule for nationwide deployment: CATV operators across cities in China will need to be able to provide bi-directional based value-added services. Based on the official website (http://www.chinasarft.gov.cn) of The China State Administration of Radio Film and Television (SARFT), the report delivered by Vice Director Tian Jin of SARFT at the CCBN theme presentation conference in 2011: (http://www.chinasarft.gov.cn/articles/2011/03/30/20110330145921220566.html), we know that by 2010, the cable TV cable trunk fibers all over China had reached 3.33 million kilometers, and the number of cable TV users had reached 187 million, among whom digital TV users had reached 87.99 million, and bi-directional covering users close to 50 million.  By 2015, digitalization will be realized for the cable broadcasting and TV networks of cities above the county level, and 80% of them will realize bi-directional network.  Therefore, we expect the market size to grow.
 
Growth Strategy
 
Strategies to Promote Direct Sales
 
We believe that our electronics products have a cost and performance advantage to those offered by our competitors.  We plan to promote our I-STB and push it into HD set-top box market to lay a solid foundation for the future sale of CM, VoIP and Wi-Fi plug-in models.  According to the Chinese government, the digital conversion of cable TV has to be completed in 2015.  (See SARFT report, attached as an exhibit hereto, regarding government timelines for completion.)  Currently, most operators simply provide a one way set-top box to reduce overall conversion cost and install cable modem to user homes when users subscribe to additional value-added service, such as broadband Internet.  The problem is that local operators usually charge a rate based on a fixed period and must have the manpower to take out subscriber devices when users switch services to other operators.  Yet, I-STB requires very simple plug in and out of cable modem modules (or Wi-Fi, VoIP modules), from users.  When canceling added services, users simply return the modules to CATV operators and pay a pro-rated service fee.  It is a more convenient procedure than the local operators having to go out to remove the subscriber’s devices.
 
Since the Chinese government laid out a three to five year schedule for nationwide deployment of Triple-Play, we believe that Triple-Play service will become universal in China.  We set our sales strategy to strike the market by our low cost non-plug in I-STB to drive more successful bidding opportunities.  When operators provide services that require data return such as VOD or Internet, based on the set-top box internal standard and patent protection, we believe that we will be well-positioned to supply our plug-in modules and gain market share.  Our market growth goal is to become one of the major suppliers of integrated bi-directional set-top boxes in the coming 3 to 5 years.

Strategies to Promote the Partnership with Cable Operators and Provide Services
 
We plan to enter into more cooperative agreements with more cable operators across cities in China. Under these cooperative agreements, we will supply the cable operator and subscriber devices, including software and technical support services, to cable operators, and assist them to construct a platform for the Triple-Play integration network.  We plan to cooperate with cable operators to provide cable users with Triple-Play services, such as HD TV broadcasting, on demand, and Internet thru PC or HD TV set.  The services we will provide include free and VIP services. Free service includes non-binding QoS (quality of service) on demand and broadband Internet.  VIP services are provided through the VIP card program.  VIP card refers to the high speed Internet card, charged by hours of usage with the fee deducted from the card.  Users can purchase this card for temporary use when they demand higher Internet speed beyond free service. VIP card does not have a monthly minimum spending requirement.  This VIP card is identical to the China Mobile prepaid card sales and pricing model.  Vecast commits to provide QoS using the VIP card to offer pricing flexibility that is still lacking in the domestic broadband Internet market.
 
By assisting with constructing Triple-Play platforms and providing Triple-Play services, we will assist the cable operators to expand their market share and we will share the service fees they receive from the subscribers.  The service fees include channel broadcasting, interactive on demand, Internet, VoIP, etc.  We plan to supply $ 100 worth of equipment and receive in return $1.54 (10 RMB) for channel broadcasting and interactive on demand, $2.30 (15 RMB) for Internet, per month per household.  We hope to receive these amounts but there is no guarantee that we will receive them.
 
The partnership and cooperation with cable operators to promote our products for Triple-Play integrated network system will be our core business in the future. Our main advantages for this business encompass technology, cost control, and market experience accumulated in prior years.  We believe these strengths will enhance the ability of cable operators to implement Triple-Play in the pilot cities.
 
We plan to first complete the pilot program in Beijing, introduce its success to our existing customers, and gradually develop new customers.

Competition
 
Vecast's cable modem and HD set top box products face market competition in China as there are more than 30 set-top box manufacturers, mostly the original large domestic appliance manufacturers such as Changhong, TCL, Chuangwei, Haier, Haixin, Kangjia, Qinghuatongfang, and Wanlida.  In addition, there are some professional set-top box manufacturers, such as Shenzhen Coship, Jiu Zhou Electric, Tianbo, and Guangdong Huanwong.  However, none of these companies is dominating the market because there is no significant technical and price advantage.  Every company relies heavily on customer relations and price reduction to gain market share, so the competition is very intense.
 
Prior to 2010, the market size for our electronics products was fairly small because the Chinese government set restrictions on the development of cable value added services.  The Chinese government relaxed those restrictions in 2010.  In the same year, we signed a contract with Beijing Haidian Cable TV Network Center for investing and constructing a Triple-Play integration platform in Haidian.  Haidian is one of the most crowded areas in Beijing, the capital of China. The platform was constructed at the end of 2010. At present, we are testing the platform and testing customers’ acceptance of the Triple-Play integration service.
 
In the market competition with other manufacturers, our weakness is mainly reflected in the high selling price of single products like our set-top box and CM, and in that we cannot accept installment payments of goods above one year. Under the present production condition of OEM, our production cost is too high. Therefore, similar profit surrender with other manufacturers will result in loss to the Company; and some methods profit surrender or allowance or responsibilities falling on suppliers will expose the Company to risks. While striving for orders on set-top boxes and CM, we do not accept payment by installments above one year nor support salespersons’ bribery of customers. These may result in our loss of advantage while striving for customers against other rivals.  Secondly, some customers, under the pressure of local government or officials, only use set-top box products of the local city, local province or designated suppliers. This is also an unfavorable factor in distribution.  We will do our best to avoid competing for orders on set-top boxes.  We will strive to co-construct and co-operate the Triple-Play integration platform with cable TV operators, make full use of our advantages in technology and low cost in terms of Triple-Play integration, and avoid weakness in competition.
 
Since 2005, many cable TV network value-added service operators in China have purchased CM from us. They recognize our products, we believe, for technology, quality, variety, performance, reputation, brand and after-sale service. However, as we have been adopting OEM to produce CM, and the product cost is high, the high selling price has affected our sales, thus reducing the market competitiveness of our products.  Though we have a variety of CM design abilities, able to meet users’ various demands, our average quotation is higher than other competitors.  Also, our terms of payment are not flexible, since we do not accept payment by installments over one year, which also directly affects our product distribution.

Therefore, we are starting to construct our own production factory this year to produce CM and other products.  Without affecting sales profit, the average selling price of CM may drop by over 10%, and the price will drop further with the increase of supply, thus improving our market competitiveness. Secondly, we will adjust our terms of payment and treat customers according to their credit rating and accept orders with payment by installments from customers with a higher credit rating or higher selling price and reasonable payment installments. After 2008, the proportion of customers requiring payment by installments has been rising every year.  As we basically refuse such payment, we have had to forfeit a large amount of orders. Therefore, changing our terms of payment should, we believe, drop the proportion of forfeited orders to below 30%, thus improving our production competitiveness.
 
The Triple-Play integrated user terminal generally includes: 3 or 4 sets of devices, set-top box, CM (or plus Wi-Fi) and VoIP, which not only make it inconvenient for installation and operation but also result in very high cost, while our I-STB integrated terminal only requires one device, which is much more convenient in installation and operation. In particular, the cost of adopting the I-STB terminal is much cheaper than 3 sets, with the comprehensive cost dropping, we believe, by over 20%. Therefore, under the environment of using Triple-Play integration service, use of the integrated terminal has a competitive advantage.
 
As a set-top box and CM manufacturer, Shenzhen Coship Company (“Coship”) also participates in the construction of front-end broadcasting platform of cable TV network operators.  In the single set-top box market, we do not have a competitive advantage.  But in integrated set-top box supporting Triple-Play integration, we do not see that Coship produces the same kind of products.  In the embedded module market, we have not seen that Coship has launched embedded modules such as CM, Wi-Fi and VoIP. As the Triple-Play integration market needs these products, we have the advantage on these products.  In terms of constructing the Triple-Play integration platform, our advantage over Coship is mainly in jumping frequency technology and the entire solution for network transmission.  In developing the Triple-Play integration market, where cable TV network operators make the most profit is to develop Internet users, while their biggest rivals are various telecom companies in China. The Internet platform of telecom companies have been operating for many years, with higher quality, more stable performance, better market credibility and more users than cable TV network operators.  Therefore, besides price reduction competition, cable TV network operators must improve their network transmission quality and improve their Internet access speed. This is the most difficult bottleneck troubling cable TV network companies for a long time. By our jumping frequency technology and adopting our RFoG/Wi-Fi network transmission solution, we can, we believe,  effectively improve the transmission speed and Internet access speed of cable TV networks and reduce the cost.  Our jumping frequency technology patent, and construction and reconstruction of cable transmission networks based on our RFoG/Wi-Fi equipment, are another advantage we have over Coship.  Besides, our advantage over Coship is our experience in developing users practiced and accumulated over many years.  Since 2004, we have been cooperating with cable TV network operators in cities like Baoding, Changzhou, Yichang, Shaoguan and Nanjing in China to develop cable broadband business. Through many years’ of practice and accumulated experience, we have developed, we believe, a complete and effective set of methods for developing users.  We can assist cable TV operators to rapidly expand market within the shortest time.  Cable TV network operators and other rivals generally lack experience in market development.  Developing the Triple-Play integration service market being our ultimate objective, we will be better received if we are able to assist operators to develop their market.  At the same time, we can give much assistance to cable network operators in terms of cost reduction, improvement of network transmission quality and improving Internet access speed; thus we can, we believe, win more market opportunities.

 
Major customers

In the past 8 years, step by step, we developed more than 50 customers, including some cable TV companies in China's provinces, cities, or regions, such as China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom, the majority of which are cable or telecom operators.  We selected 15 market potential customers for reference, as listed below.  We also discuss below some of our customers who have participated with us in cable broadband Internet market development.

Beijing Haidian Cable TV Network Center

Currently, until our new factory is built in Nanjing, we are conducting business only with Beijing Haidian Cable TV Network Center (“Haidian Cable”).  Under a written contract, Haidian Cable leases its electronics products from us, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, Haidian Cable accounted for approximately 96% and 59% of our revenue, respectively.

Until recently, Baoding Cable TV Network Company (“Baoding Cable”) was one of our major customers.  We were Baoding Cable’s sole supplier for set-top boxes and CM.  Since 2004, we provided Baoding Cable its cable operator system, which also identified the relevant standards, functions, applications, and upgrades. (All new user terminals also must follow these standards and ensure compatibility to support existing applications and functions.)   In September 2007, we signed a set-top box supply agreement with Baoding Cable, which included a set-top box OEM Huizhou Unionman Technology Co., Ltd. (“Unionman”).  The main purposes of the agreement were to specify contents such as the supply method of set-top boxes, responsibilities of various parties and terms of payment.  According to the contract, we were to provide research and development, design, supply and installation of set-top boxes and bear responsibility for their promotion.  Unionman was responsible for producing set-top boxes according to the technical documents we provided, and then we supplied goods to Baoding Cable. The three parties stipulated two kinds of payment methods depending on the set-top box issuing method:  the method of users paying the total amount to purchase set-top boxes is called the sales method; the method of deducting money from users’ TV channel subscription fees month by month is called the overall conversion method.  In the sales method, Baoding Cable would pay the total price of goods within one month after receiving set-top boxes; in the overall conversion method, Baoding Cable would pay the price over 3 years after receiving set-top boxes, and at the same time Baoding Cable would pay the bank interest for loans of the same period.  Based on the contract, Vecast would not make payments to Unionman until after Baoding Cable had made payment to Vecast.  All contracts renewed automatically; no expiration date was provided for on the set-top box contracts.  We recently entered into a new agreement with Baoding Cable and Unionman for collection of accounts receivable that were still outstanding at the time we ceased conducting business with Baoding Cable.
 
Since 2004, we have provided the industry about 200,000 units of set-top boxes and cable modems.  We still have an inventory warehouse, tech support, STB/CM repair and maintenance center in Baoding as well as our offices in Beijing.  Once the new factory is built in Nanjing, we plan to resume business with our original customer base.

5. ISO9001

VCC earned  ISO9001 Quality Certificate.

Since we have obtained the “Approval Certificate” and “Business License” that the Chinese government issued to Vecast Inc.’s China subsidiaries, as long as our business operations stay within the scope set forth in our Business Licenses, we do not need any additional government approval of our principal products or services. Since the scope of business set forth in our business licenses is already quite broad, including producing, selling and integrating digital television storage, broadcasting systems, equipment, network transmission equipment, terminal equipment and technical consulting and service, including developing, producing and selling system software and application software, we believe that our business operations will be able to continue to stay within the scope of our business license even if we expand our market in the future.

Both of Vecast Inc.’s subsidiaries in China (Vecast China and Vecast Software) are wholly-owned foreign enterprises, commonly known as a WOFE.  A WOFE can only conduct business within its approved business scope, which ultimately appears on the business license.  Any amendment to the scope of our business requires further application and government approval.

According to the business license of Vecast China, its scope of business is: produce integrated digital television storage and broadcast system equipment, network transmitting equipment and terminal equipment; provide the technical consultation and technical services for its own products; sell its own products.

According to the business license of Vecast Software, its scope of business is: develop and produce system software and application software; sell its own products.

Our current business operations are within the scope of business provided in the business licenses of these two Chinese subsidiaries.  Vecast Software’s scope of business has recently been expanded to include the new business to be developed in Nanjing, as described on pages 6 and 7 of this Prospectus.

In October 2005, the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or “SAFE,”  issued the Notice on Relevant Issues in the Foreign Exchange Control over Financing and Return Investment Through Special Purpose Companies by Residents Inside China (“Circular 75”), which required PRC residents to register with the competent local SAFE branch before establishing or acquiring control over an offshore special purpose company (“SPV”); under Circular 75, a “special purpose company” refers to an offshore entity established or controlled, directly or indirectly, by PRC residents for the purpose of seeking offshore equity financing on the strength of the domestic assets or interests owned by such PRC residents in onshore companies.  Internal implementing guidelines issued by SAFE, which became public in June 2007 (known as Notice 106), expanded the reach of Circular 75 by (1) purporting to cover the establishment or acquisition of control by PRC residents of offshore entities which merely acquire “control” over domestic companies or assets, even in the absence of legal ownership; (2) adding requirements relating to the source of the PRC resident’s funds used to establish or acquire the offshore entity; (3) covering the use of existing offshore entities for offshore financings; (4) purporting to cover situations in which an offshore SPV establishes a new subsidiary in China or acquires an unrelated company or unrelated assets in China; and (5) making the domestic affiliate of the SPV responsible for the accuracy of certain documents that must be filed in connection with any such registration, notably, the business plan, which describes the overseas financing and the use of proceeds.
 
 
 
31

 

Amendments to registrations made under Circular 75 are required in connection with any increase or decrease of capital, transfer of shares, mergers and acquisitions, equity investment or creation of any security interest in any assets located in China to guarantee offshore obligations, and Notice 106 makes the offshore SPV jointly responsible for these filings.  In the case of a SPV which was established, and which acquired a related domestic company or assets, before the implementation date of Circular 75, a retroactive SAFE registration was required to have been completed before March 31, 2006; this date was subsequently extended indefinitely by Notice 106, which also required that the registrant establish that all foreign exchange transactions undertaken by the SPV and its affiliates were in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  Failure to comply with the requirements of Circular 75, as applied by SAFE in accordance with Notice 106, may result in fines and other penalties under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions.  Any such failure could also result in the SPV’s subsidiaries being impeded or prevented from distributing their profits and the proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to the SPV, or from engaging in other transfers of funds into or out of China.
 
 
Based on our understanding of current PRC laws, we believe our current controlling shareholder IDN Telecom Inc. (including its controlling shareholders/owners), which holds approximately 46.07% of our current total issued and outstanding stock, is not a PRC resident and is not subject to Circular 75 and Notice 106, and therefore is not required to register with the relevant branch of SAFE.

In the offering covered by this registration statement, we are only offering up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock, representing only 2.51% of our total currently issued and outstanding shares.  Assuming that we are able to sell all 1,000,000 Offered Shares, our current controlling shareholder IDN Telecom Inc. will still hold 44.94% of the post-offering issued and outstanding stock.  Therefore, even after the offering, our controlling shareholder is still not a PRC resident and not subject to Circular 75 and Notice 106, and therefore is not required to register with the relevant branch of SAFE.

However, we cannot provide any assurances that the relevant PRC authority will not have a different opinion.  Moreover, because of uncertainty over how Circular 75 will be interpreted and implemented, and how or whether SAFE will apply it to us, we cannot predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies.  For example, our present and prospective PRC subsidiaries’ ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as the remittance of dividends and foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with Circular 75 and Notice 106 by our PRC resident beneficial holders.  Moreover, we cannot provide any assurance that in the future no PRC residents will become our controlling shareholders and subsequently be to subject to Circular 75 and Notice 106.  A failure by future PRC resident shareholders to comply with Circular 75, Notice 106 and other regulations regarding offshore investments, if SAFE requires it, could subject these PRC resident beneficial holders to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

The Wholly-Foreign Owned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended and the Wholly-Foreign Owned Enterprise Law Implementing Rules (1990), as amended, and the Company Law of the PRC (2006) contain the principal regulations governing dividend distributions by wholly foreign owned enterprises.  Under these regulations, wholly foreign owned enterprises may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations.  Accumulated profits have to offset previous accumulated deficit.  The foreign-funded company would then reserve (extract) at least 10% of after-tax profits for staff and workers’ bonus and welfare fund.  When the amount accumulated in the reserve fund reaches 50% of the company’s registered capital, no further funds can be extracted.  The company would then decide how to allocate and distribute, as dividends, monies from the reserve fund.  Our subsidiaries Vecast China and Vecast Software are wholly-foreign owned enterprises subject to these regulations. Furthermore, if either of these PRC subsidiaries incurs debt on its own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments.  If we or our subsidiaries and affiliated entities are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations due to these contractual or dividend arrangements, we may be unable to pay dividends on our common stock.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales
The Company derives its revenue from sales and installment sales.  Total sales were $34,851 for nine months ended September 30, 2012, an approximately 32.3% decrease as compared to total sales of $ 51,486 for nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Total sales were $ 721,495 for year ended December 31, 2011, an approximately 40.9% decrease as compared to total sales of $ 1,220,732 for year ended December 31, 2010.  The decrease was attributable to recognized installment sales decrease. Due to the high competition in the industry, and our increased focus on research and development and on planning of constructing a new manufacturing facility, our sales decreased from 2011.

No sales generated directly from sales of cable operator devices.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Gross loss margin was 15.4%  and 2.4% for nine months ended September 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively.  The Company started to invest in operator devices in Haidian, Beijing, China.  The Company charges Beijing Haidian Cable TV Network Center based on the volume of subscriber devices distributed in the Haidian area.  In the six months ended June 30, 2012, the total depreciation costs of operator devices and subscriber devices in Haidian were more than the total sales and brought the Company a gross loss.  Total sales in 2011 decreased by approximately 40.9% of total sales compared to the total sales of $1,220,732 in 2010.  Gross profit margin was 8.0% and 24.0% for years ended December 31, 2011, and 2010, respectively.  The decrease  was due to sales of more low profit items compared to 2010 with its sales of more high profit items.
 
 
Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $712,585 for nine months ended September 30, 2012, an approximately 9.3% decrease as compared to $785,910 for nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Due to the Company reserved less allowance for bad debt expense .  Total operating expenses were $1,115,778 for year ended December 31, 2011, a increase of 54.7% compared to $ 721,078 for year ended December 31, 2010.  The increase was attributed to the Company expensed more professional fees for hiring of attorneys and auditors, in order to ready the Company to be a public trading company.

Other Income (Expenses)

The Company recorded $ 111,381 of other income and $ 44,106 of other expense for nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The increase was attributed to increased interest income and a decrease in other miscellaneous expenses.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer.  We have evaluated our approach for making operating decisions and assessing the performance of our business and have determined that we only have one segment, which is digital cable television network equipment and devices.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The notes to our consolidated financial statements include disclosure of our significant accounting policies and estimates.  In establishing these policies within the framework of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management must make certain assessments, estimates and choices that will result in the application of these principles in a manner that appropriately reflects our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those policies that we believe present the most complex or subjective measurements and have the most potential to affect our financial position and operating results.  While all decisions regarding accounting policies are important, there are certain accounting policies and estimates that we consider to be critical.  These critical policies, which are presented in detail in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, relate to revenue recognition, cash and cash equivalents, held for customers, fair value measurements valuation, and office, communication and computer equipment.
A summary of our significant accounting policies and estimates is contained in Note 2 of the notes to our financial statements beginning on page 55 of this prospectus.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements.  The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

For a discussion of the impact of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 to our financial statements beginning on page 55 of this prospectus.

Chinese Foreign Currency Restrictions and Transferring of Earnings from PRC

We have not transferred any earnings from our PRC subsidiaries to our entities outside PRC. The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive all of our revenues in RMB. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to the US parent company, or other subsidiaries outside of the PRC, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders.
 
Changes in and disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure

We previously engaged Fei-Fei Catherine Fang, CPA (“Former Accountant”) as our principal accountant to audit our financial statements for years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, which were included in the Form 10-12G Registration Statement that we filed on December 28, 2009.  However, on February 24, 2010, Former Accountant withdrew her services to us.

Former Accountant’s report on the financial statements for years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31,2008 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles; and also describe the nature of each such adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion, modification, or qualification.

During the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009 and the interim period throughout February 24, 2010 when the Former Accountant resigned, there were no disagreements with the Former Accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.  However, to the best of our knowledge, Former Accountant was, at some point (after she resigned), barred from appearing or practicing before the SEC as an accountant.

We later engaged Patrizio & Zhao LLC as our new principal accountant.  Patrizio & Zhao LLC has re-done the audit on year ended December 31, 2008 and has also completed the audit on year ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 which were included in this Form S-1 Registration Statement.

The decision to change the principal accountant was made by our Board of Directors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

IDN Telecom, Inc. (“IDN Telecom”) was incorporated in California in 1993, specializing in the R & D of telecommunication technology.  It has participated in several projects of China Telecom, government information port and telecom equipment manufacturing enterprises. The company used to have high recognition in China, and has won support of several R & D and manufacturing enterprises. Vecast, upon its entrance into the Chinese cable digital TV market in 2004, needed basic products such as set-top boxes and CM.  But our subsidiary could not complete R & D within a short time. To rapidly enter the market, we needed to adopt OEM method to purchase CM products.  At the same time, we had to invite CM professional technicians to complete CMTS technology transfer with several of our customers.  As OEM production and CMTS technology transfer with several customers are time and labor intensive, and also because our enterprise was just established, with no existing market recognition, no OEM manufacturer was willing to supply goods to us.
 
 
 
40

 

               Therefore, we ordered goods from IDN Telecom, which entered into a contract with the manufacturer, providing us with OEM production and completing technology transfer.  At the same time, we used IDN Telecom’s recognition in the Chinese telecom market to open the Chinese market preliminarily, in a short time.  By 2009, we had completed CM R & D and were able to design products of several specifications according to user requirements, including CM embedded modules.  Therefore, in 2009, we stopped ordering goods from IDN Telecom and prepared to have OEM production in Mainland China or build our own factory to produce our CM series of products.

On April 23, 2003, we entered a Stock Purchase Agreement with IDN Telecom and issued 25,000,000 shares of common stock to IDN Telecom for $ 10,000, pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.  IDN Telecom was our founding and majority shareholder, therefore, this transaction was a related transaction.

On January 20, 2004, we entered a Stock Purchase Agreement with IDN Telecom and issued 80,000 shares of common stock to IDN Telecom for a total price of $40,000, pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.  IDN Telecom was our founding and majority shareholder, therefore, this transaction was a related transaction.

On December 1, 2008, we entered a Stock Purchase Agreement with IDN Telecom and issued 204,400 shares of Common Stock in exchange for equipment valued $511,000, pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.  IDN Telecom was our founding and majority shareholder, therefore, this transaction was a related transaction.

As of September 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding payables to IDN Telecom, a related party, of $215,679, $210,947 and $323,981, respectively. These payables were the payments the Company owes to IDN Telecom, for the purchase of cable modems.

The Company’s purchases from IDN Telecom in the year ended December 31, 2011 were 7.70% of our total purchases for the year ended December 31, 2011, and our purchases from IDN Telecom in the year ended December 31, 2010 were 58.47% of our total purchases in the year ended December 31, 2010.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Parties
 
We did not have any particular policies or procedures in place with respect to the review and approval or ratification of the related party transactions that have been described.  However, we believe that all transactions with related parties were on terms no less favorable than could have been obtained from third parties.

We had negotiated with several manufacturers about OEM production before ordering goods from IDN, including product specifications, varieties and OEM price. We had conducted in-depth research in CM production cost, inquired of suppliers about price of main parts such as master chip, peripheral chip, RF, PCB and power.  Also, we had learned from many parties about the selling price of main CM suppliers in the market.  On this basis, we put forward our acceptable price.  Also, our designated manufacturer was Taiwan ASUS (“ASUS”) which, in our opinion, is one of the best CM manufacturers in the world, with world-recognized quality assurance.

              Upon consultation with ASUS, IDN Telecom accepted our ordering price and promised to reduce the price year by year.  At the same time, it supported our terms of payment, that is, payment after delivery, and supported the ordering requirement that we provide CM-supporting power adapters and some parts ourselves.  Besides, we determined a price consultation mechanism with IDN Telecom, that is, when we discovered any manufacturer able to provide OEM production for CM at a lower price, or the market sales price was close to our purchase price (which would make our sales profit too low), IDN Telecom would cooperate with us to reduce the price.
 
Director Independence
 
Currently, we do not have any independent directors.  Since the Company’s Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination.
 
 
 
41

 

We do not currently have a standing audit, nominating or compensation committee and are not required to have such committees under the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, and as a controlled company we are not required to have a board comprised of a majority of independent directors, a nominating committee or a compensation committee.  However, in the future, we do intend to comply with the independent director and committee composition requirements.


DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Delaware Statutes and our Bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
 
Vecast, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vecast, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vecast, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business

 
Vecast, Inc. (“Vecast US”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 11, 2003. On September 22, 2004, Vecast US acquired a wholly-owned subsidiary, Vecast China Co., Ltd. (“Vecast China”), which was established under the corporate laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). 

On November 1, 2004, Vecast US invested $100,000 to establish another wholly-owned subsidiary, Vecast Software Co., Ltd. (“Vecast Software”), under the corporate laws of the PRC.

On December 7, 2010, Vecast China invested $303,400 to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary, Wu Xi Zhong Dian Tong Guang Electronic Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (“Wuxi ZDTG”), under the corporate laws of the PRC. In April, 2011, Vecast China divested Wuxi ZDTG and received full amount of initial investment.

On December 28, 2011, Vecast China invested RMB 50,000,000 (approximately $7,880,000) to form Vecast Info Co., Ltd (“Vecast Info”) under the corporate laws of the PRC. The principal business of Vecast Info is to develop and to manufacture CMS, STBS, energy-saving control devices and related software.

Vecast US and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are collectively referred to as “the Company”. The Company’s primary business involves developing cable television network technologies and software, designing and marketing cable television network equipment and devices, and installing and leasing Cable Modem Termination Systems (“CMTS”), Cable Modems (“CM”), Set-Top Box (“STB”) and Wi-Fi devices for cable television operators. The Company conducts its business activities through the operations of Vecast China and Vecast Software.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vecast US and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In preparing the accompanying financial statements, the Company evaluated the period from December 31, 2011 through the date when the financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure. Events identified for this period are described in Note 17.
 
Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include reserves for accounts receivable and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company derives its revenues primarily from sale of cable television network equipment and devices, and installing and leasing CMTS, CM, STB and Wi-Fi devices for cable television operators. In accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, codified in FASB ASC Topic 605, revenue should not be recognized until it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenues are considered to have been earned when the entity has substantially accomplished what it is obligated to perform to be entitled to the benefits represented by the revenues. In this regard, the Company’s revenue is recognized when merchandise is received by customers or shipped by the Company pursuant to contractual terms of sale, title and risk of loss passes to the customers and the collectability is reasonably assured. 

The Company also derives its revenues under the installment method from one major customer, where payments from the customer are made in periodic installments over three years (See Note 4 and Note 12). Because the collection of the sales price is not assured, no revenue or gain is recognized at the time of sale, except to the extent of gross profit in a down payment. Gross profit is deferred and recognized only to the extent that cash has been collected. Each installment collected consists of recovery of cost and gross profit, calculated based on the pre-determined gross profit margin on the original sale.

Cash Equivalents

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows”, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash is excluded from cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. The Company reserves 3% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than six months but less than one year, 10% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than one year but less than two years, 50% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than two years but less than three years, and 100% of accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than three years. The balance of allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $65,162 and $23,953 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Installments Receivable
 
Installments receivable are recorded net of allowance for doubtful accounts and deferred gross profit. The Company also reserves 3% of installments receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than six months but less than one year, 10% of installments receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than one year but less than two years, 50% of installments receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than two years but less than three years, and 100% of installments receivable balances that have been outstanding for more than three years. The balance of allowance for doubtful accounts for installments receivable amounted to $56,027 and $13,765 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Deferred gross profit is accounted for as a reduction of installments receivable. The balance of deferred gross profit amounted to $211,970 and $263,701 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively (See Note 4).

Inventory
 
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted-average cost method. Provisions are made for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory as well as inventory whose carrying value is in excess of net realizable value. Management continually evaluates the recoverability based on assumptions about customer demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves or write-downs may be required that could negatively impact the Company’s gross margin and operating results. The inventory reserve at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $15,758 and $0, respectively.
 
Property and Equipment

 
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The costs of improvements that extend the life of buildings, machinery and equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment, if any, is recognized in the statements of operations.

Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
 
 
 
52

 

                                                                                                                       
    Estimated useful life
 
Buildings
20 years
 
Vehicles
2 to 4 years
 
Furniture, machinery and equipment
5 to 15 years
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360-10, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets on a periodic basis in order to identify business conditions, which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future undiscounted cash flows. If the carrying value of such asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flow, the asset would be deemed to be impaired. Impairment would then be measured as the difference between the fair value of the long-lived assets and its carrying value to determine the amount of the impairment. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, no impairment loss has been recorded based on management’s assessment.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets are stated at cost. Intangible assets with finite life are amortized over their estimated useful life using straight-line method. Intangible assets with infinite life are not subject to amortization and are tested for impairment at a minimum once a year to determine possible impairment loss. Estimated useful life of intangible assets is as follows:
 
    Estimated useful life
 
Software
5 years
 
Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were insignificant.

Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10 (formerly SFAS No. 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes". ASC 740-10 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years.  Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.  A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that its future deductibility is uncertain.
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the ASC 260, “Earnings per share”. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would be outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares were issued.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other financial instruments.  The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and the Company’s borrowings from related party approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
 
The Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements.  ASC 820-10, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 820-10 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The Company has evaluated the determination of its functional currency based on the guidance in ASC Topic, “Foreign Currency Matters,” which provides that an entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates; normally, that is the currency of the environment in which an entity primarily generates and expends cash.
 
On its own, the Company raises financing in the U.S. dollar, pays its own operating expenses primarily in the U.S. dollar, pays dividends to its shareholders of common stock and expects to receive any dividends that may be declared by its subsidiaries in U.S. dollars.
 
Therefore, it has been determined that the Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar based on the expense and financing indicators, in accordance with the guidance in ASC 830-10-85-5.
 
The Company uses United States dollars (“U.S. Dollar” or “US$” or “$”) for financial reporting purposes. The subsidiaries within the Company maintain their books and records in Ren Min Bi (“RMB”), the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries in RMB are translated into U.S. Dollars using the applicable exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Items on the statements of income and comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the Company’s financial statements are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts from RMB into US Dollars for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

December 31, 2010

  cash flows

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, codified in FASB ASC Topic 220, which establishes rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. SFAS No. 130 (ASC 220) defines comprehensive income to include all changes in equity, including adjustments to minimum pension liabilities, accumulated foreign currency translation, and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) (“ASU 2011-12”). ASU 2011-12 allows deferral of the effective date for amendments to the presentation of reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU No. 2011-05. This update is effective at the same time as the amendments in ASU No. 2011-05. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In December 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210) (“ASU 2011-11). ASU 2011-11 provides enhanced disclosures that will enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. The objective of this update is to facilitate comparison of entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with those preparing their financial statements on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This new guidance is to be applied retrospectively. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard will not change the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs,” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This new guidance is to be applied prospectively. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012.  The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard will not materially affect its consolidated financial statements.

Note 14 – Income Taxes
 
Vecast US is incorporated in the State of Delaware in the United States and conducts all of its business solely through its subsidiaries in the PRC. As the Delaware holding company has not recorded any income for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, there was no provision or benefit for the United States income tax.

Under the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC, the corporate income tax rate is 25%. The operating subsidiary Vecast Software is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise incorporated in the PRC and subject to PRC Foreign Enterprise Income Tax (“FEIT”) Law. On February 22, 2008, the Ministry of Finance (“MOF”) and the State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”) jointly issued Cai Shui [2008] Circular 21 (“Circular 21”). According to Circular 21, since January 1, 2009, Vecast Software has commenced the 3-year period of tax holiday by a 50% reduction of FEIT with an effective tax rate of 10%, 11% and 12% for the first, second and third year, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company expensed income taxes of $97,717 and earned tax credits of $2,668, respectively.

Note 15 Concentrations and Credit Risks
 
Two vendors for the year ended December 31, 2011 and three vendors for the year ended December 31, 2010 accounted for approximately 81.5% and 69.6% of the Company’s purchases, respectively. Total purchases from these vendors were $125,822 and $922,299 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

One customer for the year ended December 31, 2011 and five customers for the year ended December 31, 2010 accounted for approximately 91.8% and 50.3% of the Company’s sales, respectively. Total sales to this customer were $662,222 and $614,092 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash on deposit with financial institutions. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are financially sound and minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

Note 16 – Risk Factors
 
The Company's operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company's business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
 
Vecast, Inc.
 
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Vecast, Inc. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. These interim consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
 
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
 
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Vecast, Inc. as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated December 17, 2012, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included.
 
In preparing the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, we evaluated the period from September 30, 2012 through the date the financial statements were issued for material subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure (See Note 16).

Interim Financial Statements

These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, as not all disclosures required by US GAAP for annual financial statements are presented. The interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of computations as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company’s Chinese subsidiaries are governed by PRC’s Income Tax Law and are subject to statutory income tax rate of 25%.

Note 14 – Risk Factors

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
 
On April 23, 2003, we entered a Stock Purchase Agreement with IDN Telecom, Inc. (“IDN Telecom”) and issued 25,000,000 shares of common stock to IDN Telecom for $ 10,000, pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
 
On April 30, 2003, we entered a Stock Purchase Agreement with China Century Financial Corp. and Ming Lin and issued 1,112,000 shares of common stock to China Century Financial Corp. and 800,000 shares of common stock to Ming Lin for a price of $ 0.50 per share, pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
 
On September 12, 2003, we entered a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Cirmaker Industry Co., Ltd., a Taiwan company (“Cirmaker”), and issued 840,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Cirmaker for a price of $ 0.50 per share, pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.  On July 2, 2007, Cirmaker converted the said 840,000 shares of Preferred Stock into 840,000 shares of common stock.

On January 20, 2004, we entered a Stock Purchase Agreement with IDN Telecom and issued 80,000 shares of common stock to IDN Telecom for a total price of $40,000, pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
 
On September 15, 2005, we entered a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with SHIN-YI Securities Consultant Co., Ltd., a Taiwan company (“SHIN-YI”), and issued 1,620,000 shares of Common Stock to SHIN-YI for a price of $0.55 per share, pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
 
On December 1, 2008, we entered a Stock Purchase Agreement with IDN Telecom and issued 204,400 shares of common stock in exchange of equipment investment valued $511,000, pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
 
On August 18, 2009, we entered Stock Purchase Agreements with a group of individual purchasers from Taiwan and issued 260,000 shares of unregistered common stock to them for a price of $ 0.55 per share, pursuant to the exemption from registration provided under Rule 504 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.  Rule 504 of Regulation D provides an exemption from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws for some companies when they offer and sell up to $1,000,000 of their securities in any 12-month period.  A company can use this exemption so long as it is not a blank check company and does not have to file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Also, the exemption generally does not allow companies to solicit or advertise their securities to the public, and purchasers receive "restricted" securities, meaning that they may not sell the securities without registration or an applicable exemption.  When a company makes a private sale where there are no specific disclosure delivery requirements, a company should take care to provide sufficient information to investors to avoid violating the antifraud provisions of the securities laws.  When we sold the shares to those 20 individual purchasers in Taiwan on August 18, 2009, we were not a blank check company and were not required to file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  We did not use general solicitation or advertising to market the securities, as the purchasers were all friends or family of George Wu, our CEO, and therefore had a preexisting personal relationship with him.  We sold the shares for a total price of $ 143,000, which did not exceed the $ 1,000,000 limit set by Rule 504.  We have provided sufficient information to those individual purchasers.  Given the above described facts, we believe that the private sale of shares on August 18, 2009 was exempted from registration pursuant to Rule 504 of Regulation D.

UNDERTAKINGS
 

 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: 
 
1. 
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
     
 
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of  1933;
     
 
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
     
 
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any change to such information in the registration statement.
   
2. 
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
   
3.
 
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
 
 
75

 
 
   
4. 
For the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of the securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
     
 
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
 
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

     
 
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
     
 
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
     
5.
 Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by itself is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
6. 
For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.  Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
