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.

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)
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.
|
(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
Company’s 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.
|
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.
(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.
|
(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.
|
(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.
|
(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.

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

|
|
(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

|
|
The

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.

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.
