PART II
 

ITEM 6.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those related to income taxes and impairment of long-lived assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions and factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Based on our ongoing review, we plan to adjust to our judgments and estimates where facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require our management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
 
1.           Prepayments for advertising operating rights
 
Prepayments for advertising operating rights are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Cost includes prepaid expenses directly attributable to the acquisition of advertising operating rights. Such prepaid expenses are in general charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the operating period. The operating periods of the existing advertising operating rights range from 16 months to 20 years. All the costs expected to be amortized after 12 months of the balance sheet date are classified as non-current assets.
 
An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the prepayments for advertising operating rights exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the advertising operating right’s use and eventual disposition. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis.

2.           Equipment, net
 
Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is from three to five years. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs on equipment are expensed as incurred.
 
3.           Intangible rights, net
 
Intangible rights are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization and provision for impairment loss. Intangible rights that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Other intangible rights with finite useful lives are amortized on straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 16 months to 20 years. The amortization methods and estimated useful lives of intangible rights are reviewed regularly.
 

 
4.           Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets, including intangible rights with definite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. An intangible right that is not subject to amortization is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset and intangible right exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the asset’s use and eventual disposition. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis.

5.           Convertible Promissory Notes and Warrants
 
In 2007, the Company issued 12% convertible promissory note and warrants and 3% convertible promissory notes and warrants. As of December 31, 2007, the warrants and embedded conversion feature were classified as equity under EITF 00-19,Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock” and met the other criteria in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Such classification will be reassessed at each balance sheet date. The Company allocated the proceeds of the convertible promissory notes between convertible promissory notes and the financial instruments related to warrants associated with convertible promissory notes based on their relative fair values at commitment date. The fair value of the financial instruments related to warrants associated with convertible promissory notes was determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the respective allocated proceeds to warrants is recorded in additional paid-in capital. The embedded beneficial conversion feature associated with convertible promissory notes was recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital in according to EITF Issue No. 98-5,Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratio” and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” .
 
The portion of debt discount resulting from allocation of proceeds to the financial instruments related to warrants associated with convertible promissory notes is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the convertible promissory notes, using the effective yield method. For portion of debt discount resulting from allocation of proceeds to the beneficial conversion feature, it is recognized as interest expenses over the minimum period from the date of issuance to the date of earliest conversion, using the effective yield method.

6.           Early Redemption of Convertible Promissory Notes
 
Should early redemption of convertible promissory notes occur, the unamortized portion of the associated deferred charges and debt discount would be fully written off and the early redemption premium, if any, will be recognized as an expense upon its occurrence. All such related charges, if material, would be aggregated and included in a separate line, charges on early redemption of convertible promissory notes, which would be included in ordinary activities on the consolidated statements of operations as required by SFAS No.145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections”.
 
Pursuant to the provisions of agreements in connection with 3% convertible promissory notes, certain of investors may require the company to redeem the 3% Convertible Promissory Notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, plus an amount representing a 20% internal rate of return on the then outstanding principal amount in the event of a default, or if the Company’s actual EPS in any fiscal year is less than 80% of the respective EPS target. The Company accounts for such potential liability of 20% internal rate of return on the then outstanding principal amount in accordance with SFAS No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies”.

7.           Revenue Recognition
 
For hotel management services, the Company recognizes revenue in the period when the services are rendered and collection is reasonably assured.
 
For tour services, the Company recognizes services-based revenue when the services have been performed. Guangdong Tianma International Travel Service Co., Ltd (“Tianma”) offers independent leisure travelers bundled packaged-tour products, which include both air-ticketing and hotel reservations. Tianma’s packaged-tour products cover a variety of domestic and international destinations.  
 
Tianma organizes inbound and outbound tour and travel packages, which can incorporate, among other things, air and land transportation, hotels, restaurants and tickets to tourist destinations and other excursions. Tianma books all elements of such packages with third-party service providers, such as airlines, car rental companies and hotels, or through other tour package providers and then resells such packages to its clients. A typical sale of tour services is as follows:
 

 
1. 
Tianma, in consultation with sub-agents, organizes a tour or travel package, including making reservations for blocks of tickets, rooms, etc. with third-party service providers. Tianma may be required to make deposits, pay all or part of the ultimate fees charged by such service providers or make legally binding commitments to pay such fees. For air-tickets, Tianma normally books a block of air tickets with airlines in advance and pays the full amount of the tickets to reserve seats before any tours are formed. The air tickets are usually valid for a certain period of time. If the pre-packaged tours do not materialize and are eventually not formed, Tianma will resell the air tickets to other travel agents or customers. For hotels, meals and transportation, Tianma usually pays an upfront deposit of 50-60% of the total cost. The remaining balance is then settled after completion of the tours.  
 
2.
Tianma, through its sub-agents, advertises tour and travel packages at prices set by Tianma and sub-agents.  
 
3. 
Customers approach Tianma or its appointed sub-agents to book an advertised packaged tour.
 
4. 
The customers pay a deposit to Tianma directly or through its appointed sub-agents.  
 
5. 
When the minimum required number of customers (which number is different for each tour based on the elements and costs of the tour) for a particular tour is reached, Tianma will contact the customers for tour confirmation and request full payment. All payments received by the appointed sub-agents are paid to Tianma prior to the commencement of the tours.
 
6. 
Tianma will then make or finalize corresponding bookings with outside service providers such as airlines, bus operators, hotels, restaurants, etc. and pay any unpaid fees or deposits to such providers. 
 
Tianma is the principal in such transactions and the primary obligor to the third-party providers, regardless of whether it has received full payment from its customers. In addition, Tianma is also liable to the customers for any claims relating to the tours, such as accidents or tour services. Tianma has adequate insurance coverage for accidental loss arising during the tours. The Company utilizes a network of sub-agents who operate strictly in Tianma’s name and can only advertise and promote the business of Tianma with the prior approval of Tianma.

For advertising services, the Company recognizes revenue in the period when advertisements are either aired or published.
 
8.           Stock-based Compensation
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R,Share-Based Payment” , a revision to SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” , and superseding APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”  and its related implementation guidance. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R, using a modified prospective application transition method, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards in exchange for employee services. Under this application, the Company is required to record stock-based compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and nonvested awards that were outstanding as of the date of adoption. SFAS 123R requires that stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognized in expense over the requisite services period.
 
Common stock, stock options and warrants issued to other than employees or directors in exchange for services are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by SFAS No. 123R, which is measured as of the date required by EITF Issue 96-18,Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services ”. In accordance with EITF 96-18, the non-employee stock options or warrants are measured at their fair value by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (“performance commitment date”) or the date at which performance is complete (“performance completion date”). The stock-based compensation expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. Accounting for non-employee stock options or warrants which involve only performance conditions when no performance commitment date or performance completion date has occurred as of reporting date requires measurement at the equity instruments then-current fair value. Any subsequent changes in the market value of the underlying common stock are reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.
 
9.           Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are provided for the future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for the expected future tax benefits from items including tax loss carry forwards.
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or reversed. Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 

 
10.           Foreign Currency Translation
 
The assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries and variable interest entities (VIEs) denominated in currencies other than United States (“U.S.”) dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet date. For statement of operations’ items, amounts denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars were translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate during the period. Equity accounts were translated at their historical exchange rates. Net gains and losses resulting from translation of foreign currency financial statements are included in the statements of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reflected in the statements of operations.
 
11.              Consolidation of variable interest entity

In accordance with FIN 46R, VlEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.

 NETWORK CN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006

NOTE 2
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 
(A) Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
(B) Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Network CN Inc., its subsidiaries and its variable interest entities (VIEs). In May 2006, the management of the Company decided to discontinue the business and wind down the operations of Teda (Beijing) Hotels Management Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary which has been accounted for as discontinued operations since the fourth quarter of 2006 and the wind down process was yet to be completed as of December 31, 2007. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
In accordance with Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46R”), VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIEs for financial reporting purposes. The Company has concluded that Tianma and Quo Advertising are VIEs and that the Company is the primary beneficiary. Under the requirements of FIN 46R the Company consolidated the financial statements of Tianma and Quo Advertising as VIEs of the Company.
 
 
(C) Use of Estimates
 
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Differences from those estimates are reported in the period they become known and are disclosed to the extent they are material to the financial statements taken as a whole.
 
(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash includes cash on hand, cash accounts, and interest bearing savings accounts placed with banks and financial institutions. For purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had no cash equivalents.
 
(E) Prepayments for advertising operating rights
 
Prepayments for advertising operating rights are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Cost includes prepaid expenses directly attributable to the acquisition of advertising operating rights. Such prepaid expenses are in general charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the operating period. The operating periods of the existing advertising operating rights range from 16 months to 20 years. All the costs expected to be amortized after 12 months of the balance sheet date are classified as non-current assets.
 
An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the prepayments for advertising operating rights exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the advertising operating right’s use and eventual disposition. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis.
 
 
F-7

 
 
(F) Equipment, Net
 
Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which is from three to five years. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs on equipment are expensed as incurred.
 
(G) Intangible Rights, Net
 
Intangible rights are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization and provision for impairment loss. Intangible rights that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Other intangible rights with finite useful lives are amortized on straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 16 months to 20 years. The amortization methods and estimated useful lives of intangible rights are reviewed regularly.
 
(H) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets, including intangible rights with definite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. An intangible right that is not subject to amortization is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset and intangible right exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the asset’s use and eventual disposition. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis.
 
(I) Deferred Charges, Net
 
Deferred charges are fees and expenses directly related to an issuance of convertible promissory notes, including placement agents’ fee. Deferred charges are capitalized and amortized over the life of the convertible promissory notes using the effective interest method. Amortization of deferred charges is included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations while the unamortized balance is included in deferred charges on the consolidated balance sheet.
 
F-8

 
 
(J) Convertible Promissory Notes and Warrants
 
In 2007, the Company issued 12% convertible promissory note and warrants and 3% convertible promissory notes and warrants. As of December 31, 2007, the warrants and embedded conversion feature were classified as equity under EITF 00-19,Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock” and met the other criteria in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Such classification will be reassessed at each balance sheet date. The Company allocated the proceeds of the convertible promissory notes between convertible promissory notes and the financial instruments related to warrants associated with convertible promissory notes based on their relative fair values at commitment date. The fair value of the financial instruments related to warrants associated with convertible promissory notes was determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the respective allocated proceeds to warrants is recorded in additional paid-in capital. The embedded beneficial conversion feature associated with convertible promissory notes was recognized and measured by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital in according to EITF Issue No. 98-5,Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratio” and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”.
 
The portion of debt discount resulting from allocation of proceeds to the financial instruments related to warrants associated with convertible promissory notes is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the convertible promissory notes, using the effective yield method. For portion of debt discount resulting from allocation of proceeds to the beneficial conversion feature, it is recognized as interest expenses over the minimum period from the date of issuance to the date of earliest conversion, using the effective yield method.
 
(K) Early Redemption of Convertible Promissory Notes
 
Should early redemption of convertible promissory notes occur, the unamortized portion of the associated deferred charges and debt discount would be fully written off and the early redemption premium, if any, will be recognized as an expense upon its occurrence. All such related charges, if material, would be aggregated and included in a separate line, charges on early redemption of convertible promissory notes, which would be included in ordinary activities on the consolidated statements of operations as required by SFAS No.145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections”
 
Pursuant to the provisions of agreements in connection with 3% convertible promissory notes, certain of investors may require the company to redeem the 3% Convertible Promissory Notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, plus an amount representing a 20% internal rate of return on the then outstanding principal amount in the event of a default, or if the Company’s actual EPS in any fiscal year is less than 80% of the respective EPS target. The Company accounts for such potential liability of 20% internal rate of return on the then outstanding principal amount in accordance with SFAS No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies”.
 
(L) Revenue Recognition
 
For hotel management services, the Company recognizes revenue in the period when the services are rendered and collection is reasonably assured.
 
For tour services, the Company recognizes services-based revenue when the services have been performed. Guangdong Tianma International Travel Service Co., Ltd (“Tianma”) offers independent leisure travelers bundled packaged-tour products, which include both air-ticketing and hotel reservations. Tianma’s packaged-tour products cover a variety of domestic and international destinations.
 
Tianma organizes inbound and outbound tour and travel packages, which can incorporate, among other things, air and land transportation, hotels, restaurants and tickets to tourist destinations and other excursions. Tianma books all elements of such packages with third-party service providers, such as airlines, car rental companies and hotels, or through other tour package providers and then resells such packages to its clients. A typical sale of tour services is as follows:
 
  1. 
Tianma, in consultation with sub-agents, organizes a tour or travel package, including making reservations for blocks of tickets, rooms, etc. with third-party service providers. Tianma may be required to make deposits, pay all or part of the ultimate fees charged by such service providers or make legally binding commitments to pay such fees. For air-tickets, Tianma normally books a block of air tickets with airlines in advance and pays the full amount of the tickets to reserve seats before any tours are formed. The air tickets are usually valid for a certain period of time. If the pre-packaged tours do not materialize and are eventually not formed, Tianma will resell the air tickets to other travel agents or customers. For hotels, meals and transportation, Tianma usually pays an upfront deposit of 50-60% of the total cost. The remaining balance is then settled after completion of the tours.

  3.  Customers approach Tianma or its appointed sub-agents to book an advertised packaged tour.
     
  4.   The customers pay a deposit to Tianma directly or through its appointed sub-agents.
     
  5. When the minimum required number of customers (which number is different for each tour based on the elements and costs of the tour) for a particular tour is reached, Tianma will contact the customers for tour confirmation and request full payment. All payments received by the appointed sub-agents are paid to Tianma prior to the commencement of the tours.
     
  6.  Tianma will then make or finalize corresponding bookings with outside service providers such as airlines, bus operators, hotels, restaurants, etc. and pay any unpaid fees or deposits to such providers.
     
 
Tianma is the principal in such transactions and the primary obligor to the third-party providers, regardless of whether it has received full payment from its customers. In addition, Tianma is also liable to the customers for any claims relating to the tours, such as accidents or tour services. Tianma has adequate insurance coverage for accidental loss arising during the tours. The Company utilizes a network of sub-agents who operate strictly in Tianma’s name and can only advertise and promote the business of Tianma with the prior approval of Tianma.
 
For advertising services, the Company recognizes revenue in the period when advertisements are either aired or published.
 
(M) Stock-based Compensation
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R,Share-Based Payment” , a revision to SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” , and superseding APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”  and its related implementation guidance. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R, using a modified prospective application transition method, which establishes accounting for stock-based awards in exchange for employee services. Under this application, the Company is required to record stock-based compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and nonvested awards that were outstanding as of the date of adoption. SFAS 123R requires that stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognized in expense over the requisite services period.
 
Common stock, stock options and warrants issued to other than employees or directors in exchange for services are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by SFAS No. 123R, which is measured as of the date required by EITF Issue 96-18,Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services ”. In accordance with EITF 96-18, the non-employee stock options or warrants are measured at their fair value by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (“performance commitment date”) or the date at which performance is complete (“performance completion date”). The stock-based compensation expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. Accounting for non-employee stock options or warrants which involve only performance conditions when no performance commitment date or performance completion date has occurred as of reporting date requires measurement at the equity instruments then-current fair value. Any subsequent changes in the market value of the underlying common stock are reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.
 
F-10

 
 
(N) Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are provided for the future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for the expected future tax benefits from items including tax loss carry forwards.
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or reversed. Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
(O) Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
The Company follows SFAS No. 130,Reporting Comprehensive Income” for the reporting and display of its comprehensive income (loss) and related components in the financial statements and thereby reports a measure of all changes in equity of an enterprise that results from transactions and economic events other than transactions with the shareholders. Items of comprehensive income (loss) are reported in both the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.
 
(P) Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to holders of common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares including the dilutive effect of common share equivalents then outstanding.
 
The diluted net loss per share is the same as the basic net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 as all potential ordinary shares including stock options and warrants are anti-dilutive and are therefore excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share.
 
F-11

 
 
(Q) Operating Leases
 
Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the leasing company are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease period.
 
(R) Foreign Currency Translation
 
The assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries denominated in currencies other than United States (“U.S.”) dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet date. For statement of operations’ items, amounts denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars were translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate during the period. Equity accounts were translated at their historical exchange rates. Net gains and losses resulting from translation of foreign currency financial statements are included in the statements of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reflected in the statements of operations.
 
(S) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, which consist of cash, accounts receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables, approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities.
 
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments related to warrants associated with convertible promissory notes issued in 2007 is stated at a value being equal to the allocated proceeds of convertible promissory notes based on the relative fair value of notes and warrants. In the measurement of the fair value of these instruments, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized, which is consistent with the Company’s historical valuation techniques. These derived fair value estimates are significantly affected by the assumptions used. The allocated value of the financial instruments related to warrants associated with convertible promissory notes is recorded as an equity, which does not require to mark-to-market as of each subsequent reporting period ,
 
(T) Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The Company places its cash with various financial institutions. The Company believes that no significant credit risk exists as these cash investments are made with high-credit-qualify financial institutions.
 
All the revenue of the Company and a significant portion of the Company’s assets are generated and located in China. The Company’s business activities and accounts receivables are mainly from tour services and advertising services. Deposits are usually collected from customers in advance and the Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers. The Company believes that no significant credit risk exists as credit loss. 
 
F-12

 
 
(U) Segmental Reporting
 
SFAS No. 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. The Company’s operating segments are organized internally primarily by the type of services rendered. In 2007, the Company changed their operating segments as a result of change of internal organization structure by management. It is the management’s view that the services rendered by the Company are of three operating segments: Media Network, Travel Network and Investment Holding in 2007. 
 
(V) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157,Fair Value Measurements”. This statement defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles. More precisely, this statement sets forth a standard definition of fair value as it applies to assets or liabilities, the principal market (or most advantageous market) for determining fair value (price), the market participants, inputs and the application of the derived fair value to those assets and liabilities. The effective date of this pronouncement is for all full fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on its financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which permit entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on its financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised),Business Combinations”  (“SFAS No. 141 (R)”), replacing SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations”  (“SFAS No. 141”), and SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an Amendment of ARB No. 51” . SFAS No. 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements of SFAS No. 141, broadens its scope by applying the acquisition method to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses, and requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date, that liabilities related to contingent consideration be recognized at the acquisition date and re-measured at fair value in each subsequent reporting period, that acquisition-related costs be expensed as incurred, and that income be recognized if the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for non controlling interests (i.e. minority interests) in a subsidiary, including changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary and requires, among other things, that noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries be classified as a separate component of equity. Except for the presentation and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 160, which are to be applied retrospectively for all periods presented, SFAS No. 141 (R) and SFAS No. 160 are to be applied prospectively in financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting SFAS No. 141 (R) and SFAS No. 160 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 10
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES AND WARRANTS
   
 
(a)   12% Convertible Promissory Note and Warrants
   
 
On November 12, 2007, the Company entered into a 12% Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with Wei An Developments Limited (“Wei An”) with respect to the purchase by Wei An a convertible promissory note in the principal account of $5,000,000 at interest rate of 12% per annum (the “12% Convertible Promissory Note”). The 12% Convertible Promissory Note is convertible into the Company’s common stock at the conversion price of $2.40 per share. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company is subject to a commitment fee of 2% of the principal amount of the 12% Convertible Promissory Note. The term of the 12% Convertible Promissory Note is six months and the Company has the option to extend the 12% Convertible Promissory Note by an additional six-month period at an interest rate of 14% per annum and be subject to an additional commitment fee of 2% of the principal amount of the note. However, the Company has the right to prepay all or any portion of the amounts due under the note at any time without penalty or premium.
   
 
In addition, pursuant to the Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the exercise price of $2.30 per share, which are exercisable for a period of two years.
   
 
(b)   3% Convertible Promissory Notes and warrants
   
 
On November 19, 2007, the Company, Quo Advertising and the Designated Holders (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), entered into a 3% Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with affiliated investment funds of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group (the “Investors”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 3% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due June 30, 2011 in the aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000,000 (the “3% Convertible Promissory Notes”) and warrants to acquire an aggregate amount of 34,285,715 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Warrants”). The 3% Convertible Promissory Notes and Warrants are issued and issuable in three tranches, with Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $6,000,000, Warrants exercisable for 2,400,000 shares at $2.50 per share and Warrants exercisable for 1,714,285 shares at $3.50 per share, issued on 19 November, 2007, Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $9,000,000, Warrants exercisable for 3,600,000 shares at $2.50 per share and Warrants exercisable for 2,571,430 shares at $3.50 per share issued on 28 November 2007, and Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $35,000,000, Warrants exercisable for 14,000,000 shares at $2.50 per share and Warrants exercisable for 10,000,000 shares at $3.50 per share to be issued in the third tranche, which was completed in January 2008. Please refer to Note 18 - Subsequent Events for details. The warrants shall expire on June 30, 2011, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
   
 
The 3% Convertible Promissory Notes bear interest at 3% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears and mature on June 30, 2011. The 3% Convertible Promissory Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.65 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. In addition, the conversion price will be adjusted downward on an annual basis if the Company should fail to meet certain annual earnings per share (“EPS”) targets described in the Purchase Agreement. In the event of a default, or if the Company’s actual EPS for any fiscal year is less than 80% of the respective EPS target, certain of the investors may require the Company to redeem the 3% Convertible Promissory Notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, plus an amount representing a 20% internal rate of return on the then outstanding principal amount. The Warrants grant the holders the right to acquire shares of common stock at $2.50 and $3.50 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The exercise price of the Warrants will also be adjusted downward whenever the conversion price of the 3% Convertible Promissory Notes is adjusted downward in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

  Warrant and Beneficial Conversion Features
   
 
The fair value of the financial instruments associated with warrants of both 12% convertible promissory note and 3% convertible promissory notes was determined utilizing Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is consistent with the Company’s historical valuation methods. The following assumptions and estimates were used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model: (1) 12% convertible promissory note: volatility of 182%; an average risk-free interest rate of 3.52%; dividend yield of 0%; and an expected life of 2 years, (2) 3% convertible promissory notes: volatility of 47%; an average risk-free interest rate of 3.30%; dividend yield of 0%; and an expected life of 3.5 years.
 
F-21

 
 
Both the warrants and embedded conversion features issued in connection with 12% convertible promissory note and 3% convertible promissory notes meet the criteria of EITF 00-19,Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock” for equity classification and also met the other criteria in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as of December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the conversion features do not require derivative accounting. The intrinsic value of beneficial conversion feature is calculated in according to EITF Issue No. 98-5,Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratio”  and EITF Issue No. 00-27,Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” . For 3% convertible promissory note, as the effective conversion price after allocating a portion of the proceeds to the warrants was less than the Company’s market price of common stock at commitment date, it was considered to have a beneficial conversion feature while for 12% convertible promissory note, no beneficial conversion feature existed. The value of beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the convertible promissory notes against additional paid-in capital. As 3% convertible promissory notes are convertible at the date of issuance, the respective debt discount being equal to the value of beneficial conversion feature of $4,727,272 is fully amortized through interest expense as of the date of issuance.
