**Independent Auditor’s Report**

 

To the Board of Directors of iTV Media Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of iTV Media Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”),which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, of shareholders’ deficit and of cash flows for the year then ended.

 

***Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements***

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

***Auditor’s Responsibility***

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit.  We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.  In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design 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.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

***Opinion***

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of iTV Media Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

***Emphasis of Matter***

 

The Group has history of operating losses and has negative working capital and accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2013. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern based on the continuing financial support to iTV Media Inc. provided by a related party as described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2013, the Group decided to shut-down its commercial operations in the U.S., although certain management services will continue to be provided in the US. As part of this process, the Group terminated office leases in New York in July 2013 and in California in December 2013 without material lease termination penalties.

**2.****                  ****SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

 

(a)         Basis of presentation and liquidity

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for the year presented.

 

The Group incurred a net loss of RMB 112,635,930 during the year ended December 31, 2013.  As of December 31, 2013, the Group had an accumulated deficit of RMB 243,986,530 and a negative working capital of RMB 84,286,083.

(b)         Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period.

 

Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements mainly include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, fair value of share-based compensation, allowance for doubtful accounts, , useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, impairment of goodwill and long lived assets, valuation of deferred tax assets as well as accounting and valuation of mandatorily redeemable preferred shares. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

(c)          Principles of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“VIE”) subsidiaries. All significant transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and VIE subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

A VIE is an entity in which the Company, or its subsidiary, through contractual arrangements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with, ownership of the entity, and therefore the Company or its subsidiary is the primary beneficiary of the entity.

 

A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors (the “Board”); to cast majority of votes at the meeting of the Board or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.

*VIE Arrangements with UiTV*

 

On July 30 2013, the Group gained control of UiTV Corporation (“UiTV”), which provides exhibition, internet information and communication services and its subsidiary Beijing LHDS Advertising Ltd., which provides advertising services, through contractual arrangements.

 

Under current Chinese regulations, there are restrictions on the percentage interest foreign or foreign-invested companies may have in Chinese companies providing value-added telecommunications services in China, which include the provision of Internet content, online games and wireless value-added services. In addition, the operation by foreign or foreign-invested companies of advertising businesses in China is subject to government approval. In order to comply with these restrictions and other Chinese rules and regulations, iTV BJ entered into a series of contractual arrangements for the provision of such services with UiTV and its subsidiary, Beijing LHDS Advertising Ltd. These companies are considered “variable interest entities” for accounting purposes, and are referred to collectively in this section as “VIEs.” The series of agreements entered between iTV BJ and the VIEs include the Exclusive Technical Support and Service Agreement; the Proxy Agreement; the Equity Interest Pledge Agreement; and the Exclusive Call Option Agreement.

 

Through the aforementioned agreements, iTV BJ has the power to direct the activities most significant to the economic performance of the VIEs and absorbs all, or substantially all, of the profits or losses. Under the requirements of ASC 810, the Group consolidates the financial statements of UiTV and Beijing LHDS Advertising Ltd.

VIE Related Risks

 

Uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Group’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements the Group’s VIE and shareholders of its VIE if PRC government authorities or courts were to find that such contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or are otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. In the event that the Group was unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, the Group would not be able to exert effective control over the affected VIE. Consequently, the VIE’s results of operations, assets and liabilities would not be included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. If such were the case, the Group’s cash flows, financial position and operating performance would be materially adversely affected. The Group’s contractual arrangements with respect to its consolidated VIE are approved and in place. The Group’s management believes that such contracts are enforceable, and considers the possibility remote that PRC regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over the Group’s operations and contractual relationships would find the contracts to be unenforceable.

 

(d)        Foreign currency translation

 

The Group’s reporting currency is the Renminbi (“RMB”). An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, normally that is the currency of the environment in which it primarily generates and expends cash. Management’s judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and intercompany transactions and arrangements. The functional currencies of the Company, iTV HK and iTV TH are US$, whereas the functional currencies of the other subsidiaries are their respective local currencies.

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the respective entities’ functional currencies are re-measured into the functional currencies, in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, using the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into functional currencies using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are remeasured using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Exchange gains or losses are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

(d)        Foreign currency translation (continued)

 

Assets and liabilities are translated to the reporting currency at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated using the average rate for the year. Translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive loss within the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

 

(e)         Fair value of financial instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

 

The accounting guidance for fair value measurement requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

**2.****                  ****SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)**

 

(e)         Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Financial assets and liabilities are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis and classified under the appropriate level of the fair value hierarchy. The Level 1 financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents. The carrying values of the Group’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values due to the short term periods between inception and maturity.

 

(f)          Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with banks, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use, and which have original maturities less than three months.

 

(g)         Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash represents amounts held by a bank as security for letters of credit facilities and performance bond and, therefore, are not available for the Group’s use. The restriction on cash is expected to be released within the next twelve months.

(h)        Accounts receivable, net

 

The carrying value of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects the Group’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. The Group makes estimates for the collectability of accounts receivable considering many factors including, but not limited to, reviewing delinquent accounts receivable, performing aging and customer credit analysis and analyzing historical bad debt records and financial conditions of the Group’s customers resulting in their inability to make payments due to the Group.

 

(i)            Property and equipment, net

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Property and equipment have no estimated residual value.

 

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

 
| ** **                         | ** ** | **Useful lives**                              | ** ** |
|------------------------------------|------------|----------------------------------------------------|------------|
| STBs not in use                    |       | 3 years                                            |       |
| STBs installed at subscriber sites |       | 3 years                                            |       |
| Computer equipment and servers     |       | 3 years                                            |       |
| Office equipment                   |       | 3 years                                            |       |
| Leasehold improvements             |       | Shorter of the estimated useful life or lease term |       |

 

The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from their respective accounts, and any gain or loss on such sale or disposal is reflected in income from operations.

(j)           Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in an acquisition accounted for as a purchase. Goodwill is carried at cost. In accordance with ASC 350-20, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, the Group is required to test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and in certain circumstances in between annual tests, and to write-down the goodwill when impaired. The Group’s impairment review process compares the fair value of the reporting unit in which the goodwill resides to its carrying value. The Group has determined that there is only one reporting unit for purposes of completing its ASC 350-20 analysis.

 

Management performed a qualitative assessment and concluded that the fair value exceeded the carrying amount, thus no impairment loss was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2013.

 

(k)        Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment loss, if any. Movie copyright is amortized on a double declining balance basis and other intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life as below:

 
| ** **       | ** ** | **Useful lives** | ** ** |
|------------------|------------|-----------------------|------------|
| iTV Domain Name  |       | 20 years              |       |
| Software License |       | 10 years              |       |
| Trademark        |       | 10 years              |       |
| Copyright        |       | 3 years               |       |

 

The estimated life of amortized intangibles is reassessed if circumstances occur that indicate the life has changed.

 

(l)            Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Group evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment, intangible assets and other non-current assets for possible impairment whenever triggering events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of property and equipment, intangible assets and other non-current assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such asset is reduced to fair value.

(m)    Revenue recognition

 

Consistent with the criteria under ASC topic 605 (“ASC 605”), Revenue Recognition, the Group recognizes revenue from sales of these services when there is a signed sales agreement with fixed or determinable fees, services have been provided to the customer and collection of the resulting customer’s receivable is reasonably assured.

 

The Group engages primarily in internet TV business by providing internet TV programming services and STB rental services to retail consumers through business partners. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the group provided internet TV programming services and STB rental services mainly to one customer, As of December 31, 2013, revenue earned from this customer was RMB 10,304,161, of which RMB 2,565,816 was outstanding in accounts receivables. Further the Group also provides non-core services such as advertising and marketing activities, or IT consulting and technical services, of which service revenues are recognized. These non-core services are not significant to the operations of the Group as a whole. The recognition of each revenue streams is as below:

 

*Service Revenue — STB and Content.*The Group has entered into an agreement with a telecommunications operator in Thailand, TOT, to provide STB rental and internet TV programming and contents service to TOT’s broadband service subscribers. The Group accounts for the revenue on a net basis as TOT is the primary obligor in the arrangement, given the Group does not have a direct contractual relationship with the end subscribers and TOT  has the power to set the price  for the services provided to its broadband service subscribers..  Thus revenues for these services are recognized over the periods as the services are provided and  the statements of revenues from TOT are received.

 

*Service Revenue — Advertising and marketing.* The Group recognizes revenue of advertising and marketing service over the period the related services are provided.

 

*Service Revenue —*IT consulting and technical service. The Group recognizes revenue from the provision of IT consulting and technical service over the period the related services are provided.

(q)        Income taxes

 

The Group adopted ASC 740, Income Tax, under which income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences attributable to differences between carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their respective tax basis, and operating 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 settled. The Group classifies the deferred tax assets which are expected to be realized over one year in noncurrent assets. Generally accepted accounting principles require that the realizability of net deferred tax assets be evaluated on an ongoing basis. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Accordingly, the Group considers various tax planning strategies, forecasts of future taxable income and its most recent operating results in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is recorded where it is more likely than not that the loss carry-forwards and deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period of such change.

 

ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement, but it prohibits any discounting of any of the related tax effects for the time value of money. The Group has elected to classify interest and penalties related to an uncertain tax position, if any and when required, as other expense.

(s)           Share-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for the stock option granted to employees under provisions of ASC 718, “Stock Compensation”. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company determines whether a share option should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or equity award. All grants of share-based awards to employees classified as equity awards are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values which are calculated using an option pricing model. All grants of share-based awards to employees and directors classified as liability are remeasured at the end of each reporting period with an adjustment for fair value recorded to the current period expense in order to properly reflect the cumulative expense based on the current fair value of the vested rewards over the vesting periods. The Company has elected to recognize compensation expense on share-based awards with a service condition on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

 

In accordance with ASC 718, the Company applied the Black-Scholes option pricing model in determining the fair value of options granted.

 

ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates. Share-based compensation expense was recorded net of estimated forfeitures such that expense was recorded only for those share-based awards that are expected to vest.

 

According to ASC 718, a change in any of the terms or conditions of stock options shall be accounted for as a modification of the plan. Therefore, the Company calculates incremental compensation cost of a modification as the excess of the estimated value of the modified option over the fair value of the original option immediately before its terms are modified, measured based on the share price and other pertinent factors at the modification date. For vested options, the Company would recognize incremental compensation cost in the period the modification occurs and for unvested options, the Company would recognize, over the remaining requisite service period, the sum of the incremental compensation cost and the remaining unrecognized compensation cost for the original award on the modification date.

(t)            Comprehensive loss

 

The Company applies ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, with respect to reporting and presentation of comprehensive loss and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive loss comprises of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments in the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

(u)         Profit appropriation and statutory reserves

 

The Company’s PRC subsidiaries are required to allocate at least 10% of their after-tax profits to a general reserve in accordance with the PRC accounting standards and regulations until the general reserve has reached 50% of the registered capital of each company. Appropriations to the enterprise expansion fund and staff welfare and bonus fund are at the discretion of the board of directors of the subsidiaries. These reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to the Company in the form of loans, advances, or cash dividends.

 

(v)         Leases

 

Leases are classified at the inception date as either a capital lease or an operating lease. The Group did not enter into any material leases whereby it is the lessor for the year ended December 31, 2013. As the lessee, a lease is a capital lease if any of the following conditions exists: a) ownership is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term, b) there is a bargain purchase option, c) the lease term is at least 75% of the property’s estimated remaining economic life, or d) the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term is 90% or more of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at the inception date. A capital lease is accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and an incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease.

 

All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed as incurred. The Group had no capital leases for the year ended December 31, 2013. Operating lease expenses recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive loss amounted to RMB 3,543,834 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-05, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon De-recognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This ASU requires the release of cumulative translation adjustments into net income when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest resulting in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. The guidance will be effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

On April 22, 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-07, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting. This guidance addresses when and how an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. The amendments in this Update are being issued to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting. In addition, the guidance provides principles for the recognition and measurement of assets and liabilities and requirements for financial statements prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting. The amendments apply to all entities that issue financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP except investment companies that are regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The amendments are effective for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. Entities should apply the requirements prospectively from the day that liquidation becomes imminent. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists. This ASU clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The guidance will be effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”. The new guidance changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. Additionally, ASU 2014-08 requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The new guidance also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. ASU 2014-08 is effective for the Group in its first quarter of fiscal 2015. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On May 28th 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).”  The new guidance aims to 1. remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements; 2. provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues; 3. improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets; 4. provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements; 5. simplify the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. To meet those objectives, the FASB is amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification® and creating a new Topic 606.  The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer. Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Step 3: Determine the transaction price. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. And Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.  The Group will evaluate the impact of the new revenue recognition guidance and will expect to adopt the guidance during the effective period.

On July 30 2013, the Group gained control of UiTV Corporation (“UiTV”) and its subsidiary Beijing LHDS Advertising Ltd through contractual arrangements and gained 100% voting rights of UiTV. The total consideration of the acquisition was RMB 6,176,900 (US$ 1 million), and the Group assumed all the liabilities and potential liabilities of UiTV. The Group performed a valuation of the fair values of the designated assets to serve as a basis for allocation of the purchase price to the various accounts for financial reporting purposes in accordance ASC 805 and 350. No additional intangible asset was identified as of July 30, 2013. The Company recognized goodwill of RMB 5,509,000 for the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired of RMB 667,900.

 

Purchase Price Allocation

 

The final purchase price allocation results as of July 30, 2013 are set out below:

| Goodwill                            |   | 5,509,000 |   |

 

Goodwill represents the expected synergies from combining operations of the Company and UiTV, and other intangible benefits that would accrue to the Group that do not qualify for separate recognition. In accordance with ASC 805, goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment. As of December 31, 2013, no impairment was recorded for the periods presented and the fair value of the reporting unit is substantially in excess of the carrying value of the goodwill for 2013 annual goodwill impairment test. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purpose.

**10.****         ****CONVERTIBLE BONDS**

 

On December 3, 2012, January 2, 2013, May 20, 2013, August 30, 2013, and November 30, 2013, the Company issued a series of convertible bonds, collectively referred to as “the Bonds” to UTStarcom HK Investment Holdings Ltd (“UTStarcom HK”) in order to raise funds for its continuing operations. The Bonds were issued with a principal amount of US$3,000,000 (phase I), US$5,000,000 (phase II), US$15,000,000 (phase III), US$5,000,000 (phase IV), US$5,555,074.16 (phase V), and US$1,788,402.60 (phase VI) respectively. Phases I to IV of the bonds were UTStarcom HK’s investment into the Company, of which cash was delivered upon the issuance of bonds. Phase V and VI of the convertible bonds were issued in exchange for the settlement of previously owed accounts payable and a short-term loan due to UTStarcom HK by the Company. The maturity dates for the Bonds per the initial contracts were December 31, 2013 (phase I), December 31, 2013 (phase II), May 31, 2014 (phase III), May 31, 2014 (phase IV), December 31, 2015 (phase V), and December 31, 2015 (phase VI) respectively. As subsequently described in this note, the maturity dates of certain convertible bonds were extended. The interest rates for the Bonds are all 6.5% per annum, compounded annually. Accrued interest on the Bonds shall be payable on each anniversary of the date hereof. All unpaid principal, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) an Event of Default. Upon 5 business days prior written notice to UTStarcom HK, the Company may prepay the Bonds in whole or in part upon mutual agreement by the Company and UTStarcom HK, provided that any such prepayment will be applied first to the payment of expenses due under the Bonds, second to interest accrued on the Bonds and third, if the amount of prepayment exceeds the amount of all such expenses and accrued interest, to the payment of principal of the Bonds.

 

The evaluation of each Bond issuance transaction should be viewed as a single unit. The Company has accounted for the Bonds in accordance with ASC 470, as a single instrument and a portion as a current liability and the balance as a long-term liability. The value of the Bonds is measured by the cash received, or carrying value of obligations forgiven, which approximates its fair value at issuance.

 

As of December 31, 2013, the fair value of Bonds is RMB 25,970,000. The Bonds are valued using the Cox, Ross and Rubinstein Binomial Model. The valuation involves complex and subjective judgments as well as the Company’s best estimates on the valuation date. The main inputs to this model include underlying value of preferred shares, risk free interest rate, dividend yield, time to expiration etc.

**10.****         ****CONVERTIBLE BONDS (CONTINUED)**

 

The key terms of the Bonds are as follows:

 

Conversion

 

Investor has the right, at Investor’s option, at any time prior to payment in full of the principal amount of the Bonds, to convert the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Bonds into fully paid and non-assessable shares of (1) the Preference Shares issued in a qualified financing at the conversion price, if a qualified financing has completed prior to such conversion or (2) the Company’s series A Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the adjusted conversion price. Qualified Financing is defined as a transaction or series of transactions prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to which the Company issues and sells shares of its Preference Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000 (excluding all proceeds from the incurrence of indebtedness that is converted into such Preferred Stock or otherwise cancelled in consideration for the issuance of such Preferred Stock) with the principal purpose of raising capital.  Adjusted Conversion Price is defined as a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) eighty-five percent (85%) of the price per share paid by the other purchasers of the Preference Shares sold in the Qualified Financing and (ii) the price per share of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock was initially issued.

 

In accordance with ASC 815-10-15-83, the conversion option does not meet the definition of a derivative. As such, bifurcation of conversion option from the Bonds is not required.

 

The fair value of the underlying Preferred Shares on the issuance dates for the Bonds is less than the initial Preferred Shares issuance price of $2.08. Under ASC 815, no beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) exists or should be bifurcated from the Bonds.

 

On December 6, 2013, UTStarcom extended the maturity date of convertible bonds of phase I and II from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2015.

 

As of December 31, 2013, the convertible bonds of phase III and phase IV issued and related interest accrued, in total RMB 125,389,728 is accounted as the value of the convertible bonds in short-term debt. The other convertible bonds and related interest accrued, in total RMB 95,922,346 is accounted for as long-term debt.

 

On May 30, 2014, UTStarcom HK extended the maturity date of convertible bonds of phase III from May 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015 and phase IV from August 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015.

**11.****         ****MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SHARES**

 

On October 16, 2010, the Company and UTStarcom Holding Corp. entered into a Series A Preference Shares Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), pursuant to which the Company issued 9,600,000 Series A Mandatorily Redeemable Preference Shares (or “Series A Preferred Shares”) to UTStarcom Inc. at a price of US$2.08333 per share for a cash consideration of US$20,000,000. The key terms of the Company’s preference shares extracted from the SPA, the Amended and Restated Articles of Association (the “AOA”) and the Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association (the “MOA”) of the Company:

 

Voting Rights

 

Each ordinary share has one vote. Each preferred share carries a number of votes equal to the number of ordinary shares into which such preferred share could be converted into. The holders of ordinary share and preferred shares shall vote together and not as separate classes, except as otherwise specifically required by the MOA of the Company.

 

Dividends

 

The holders the Series A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 8% of the Original Issue Price, when and if declared by the board of directors of the Company, payable in preference and priority to any declaration or payment of any distribution on ordinary shares of the Company.

 

After the declared dividends to the Series A Preferred Shares have been paid or set aside, the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are also entitled to receive dividends on the ordinary shares on an as-converted basis.

Liquidation

 

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or in a Deemed Winding Up event as defined in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company such as change of control or sales of substantially all of the Company’s assets, each holder of Series A Preferred Shares shall be paid, prior and in preference to any payment to the holders of the ordinary shares, for the Liquidation Preference Amount, which shall be equal to the Original Issue Price (as adjusted for any recapitalizations, share splits, share dividends and similar transactions) plus all unpaid declared dividends. In the event that the assets available for distribution among the members are insufficient to pay the Preferred Shares’ Liquidation Preference Amount in full, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall be paid in proportion to the full Liquidation Preference Amount each such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive. After all of the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares have received their Liquidation Preference Amounts, the balance of all remaining assets available for distribution to members shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata amongst the holders of ordinary shares and Series A Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis.

 

Conversion

 

Each Series A Preferred Share is convertible at any time, at the option of its holder, into a number of ordinary as determined by the quotient of the Original Issue Price and the then-effective conversion price. The initial conversion ratio of Series A Preferred Shares to ordinary shares shall be 1:1, subject to proportional adjustments for splits or combinations of ordinary shares. In the events that the Company declares dividends or makes distributions in the form of ordinary shares or other securities of the Company or issues additional ordinary shares or other securities at a price per share below the then-effective conversion price of the existing Series A Preferred Shares, the conversion price shall be automatically reduced by multiplying a fraction with the numerator being the number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding on a fully-diluted basis immediately prior to such event and the denominator being the total number of ordinary shares or other securities outstanding and issuable upon such event.

**11.****   ****MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SHARES (CONTINUED)**

 

*Accounting for the Series A Preferred Shares*

 

The Series A Preferred Shares are redeemable contingent on the occurrence of a conditional event (i.e. Deemed Winding Up Event). The Series A Preferred Shares are initially recorded at the proceeds allocated based on the relative fair value method.

 

The holders of Series A Preferred Shares have the ability to convert the instrument into the Company’s ordinary shares. The Company evaluated the embedded conversion option in the Series A Preferred Shares to determine if there were any embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation and to determine if there were any beneficial conversion features.

 

The conversion options and the mandatorily redemption options of the Series A Preferred Shares do not qualify for bifurcation accounting because the underlying ordinary shares are not publicly traded nor are they readily convertible into cash.

 

Beneficial conversion features exist when the conversion price of the redeemable convertible preferred shares is lower than the fair value of the ordinary share at the commitment date. Since the redeemable convertible preferred shares are convertible from inception but contains conversion terms that change upon the occurrence of a future event, the contingent beneficial conversion feature is measured at the commitment date but not recognized until the contingency is resolved. The Company determined the estimated fair values of the ordinary and preferred shares with the assistance from an independent appraisal firm.

**12.****   ****ORDINARY SHARES AND SHARE BASED COMPENSATION**

 

The Company was incorporated in May 27, 2010 with 1 ordinary share and a par value of US$ 1. On October 15, 2010, the Company effected a 1 to 10,000 share split and increased the maximum number of authorized ordinary shares to 22,000,000 with a par value of US$ 0.0001. The Company also issued additional 9,990,000 ordinary shares to the shareholder at the aggregate purchase price of US$999 on October 15, 2010. As of December 31, 2013, 10,000,000 ordinary shares were issued and outstanding.

 

On December 31, 2013, 3,500,000 shares were transferred to management by the existing shareholder. The compensation expense is measured by multiplying the shares granted by the fair value of the ordinary share on December 31, 2013. The financial statements reflect the fair value of RMB 455,612 of the ordinary shares as a debit to compensation expense and as a credit to contribution of capital.

 

In conjunction of the issuance of Series A Preferred shares, the Board of directors approved the 2010 Global Share Plan (the “Plan”), which provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate of 2,177,778 Ordinary Shares to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company.  As of December 31, 2013, 2,177,778 shares of option with exercise price of US$2.0833 per share granted to employees, directors and consultants were outstanding.  Options granted were exercisable in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms of vesting schedule: 25% of the options shall vest on the Vesting Commencement Date, and 1/48 of the options shall vest each month thereafter over the next three years. The fair value for these options at the date of the grant was immaterial and thus no compensation expense relating to the grants were recorded given their immateriality.

**15.****           ****COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

 

***(a)******             ******Operating lease commitments***

 

The Group leases certain office premises and buildings under non-cancellable operating leases. Rental expense under these leases for the year ended December 31, 2013 was RMB 3,543,834.

 

As of December 31, 2013, the Group had remaining outstanding commitments in respect to its non-cancellable operating leases as follows:

 
| ** **        | ** ** | **December 31, 2013** | ** ** |
|-------------------|------------|---------------------------------|------------|
|              |       |                            |       |
| Within one year   |       | 3,975,898                       |       |
| 2 to 5 years      |       | —                          |       |

***(b)******             ******Contingencies***

 

In July 2013, the Group received a complaint from a former employee who claims that the Group owes him approximately US$900,000 in damages. As the lawsuit was recently filed and has not been adjudicated in the courts, the client is unable to assess whether or not the case is probable, or estimable.

 

**16.****           ****SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

 

In conjunction with the preparation of these financial statements, an evaluation of subsequent events was performed through June 30, 2014, which is the date the financial statements were issued.

 

On May 30, 2014, UTStarcom amended the maturity date for: (i) the US$ 15,000,000 convertible bonds from May 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015; and, (ii) the US$ 5,000,000 convertible bonds from August 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015.
