General
Business Discussion
The
Company operates in five distinct business segments:
1. Investments
in Entertainment Arts Productions - The Company purchases and licenses or
resells copyrights of entertainment-related assets.
2. Online
Membership Services - The Company provides online content and member services
for commercial use.
3. Software
sales - The Company provides web-based and mobile software
platforms.
4. Importing
and exporting of goods - The Company conducts international trade using the PRC
as its base of operations.
5. Media
and Marketing Management - The Company coordinates product placement activities
for filmmakers and advertisers within the entertainment arts industry of the
PRC.
Investments
in Entertainment Arts Productions
We
generate income from the purchase and subsequent licensing or resale of
copyrights for motion pictures, internet broadcasting, television broadcasting,
DVD and other possible forms of reproductions of our copyrighted
assets.
Big
Movie
3G
Dynasty began the theatrical screening of the film BIG MOVIE (http://ent.sina.com.cn/f/m/bigmovie/index.shtml)
in 400 theaters throughout the PRC beginning on December 29, 2006 and running
through January 20, 2007. The “Investments in Entertainment Arts” business
segment is committed to bringing a variety of unique titles to the Chinese
market. Our first release, BIG MOVIE, a joint venture with Hua Xia Films
Distributions Limited Beijing, is a template for the future distribution of film
in the PRC by MYST. 3G Dynasty is also working with SINA Corp.
(Nasdaq: SINA) for movie promotion and marketing services.
Other
Copyrights
We
currently hold copyrights for 4 additional motion pictures which are presently
in production with our production partners. However, the governmental approval
process for release of these additional motion pictures is not yet complete. We
also hold 1 internet broadcast copyright for Big Movie 2, which began generating
revenue in July 2008. During the three months ended September 30,
2008, Big Movie 2 generated $238,790 in revenues for 3G
Dynasty. Additionally, we hold 113 internet broadcast
copyrights that we expect to begin generating revenue in
2009. However, we may also license or resell these copyrights and any
of our other copyrights for motion pictures, internet broadcasting, television
broadcasting, DVD rights and any overseas rights.
We
believe our subsidiary, 3G Dynasty, has made and continues to make sound
investments in entertainment arts productions in the PRC and is well positioned
for continued growth in a fast-paced market. 3G Dynasty began to establish a
film distribution network with the purchase of the copyrights to certain films
in March 2006. 3G Dynasty distributes films through multiple distribution
channels into the PRC film market, including through the internet, mobile phone,
TV, DVD and theatrical screenings in cinemas across the PRC. We will continue to
make investments to establish our distribution network and acquire more
copyrights for high quality programming content.
One of
our business partners, ZesTV, Inc. (“ZesTV”) is a leading Chinese media and
entertainment company. ZesTV is involved with the development, production, and
marketing of entertainment, news and information to a global audience. ZesTV
owns and operates a valuable portfolio of news and entertainment networks, a
premier motion picture company, significant television production operations, a
leading internet entertainment website group, and plans the development of
studio-branded theme parks. MYST has $548,316 in cash on deposit with ZesTV for
the first right of refusal to buy ZesTV music, films and TV programming
copyrights of online content. We expect this deposit to be fully utilized
to purchase additional copyrighted material from ZesTV.
MYST will
continue its aggressive search for further investments into the entertainment
arts industry in the PRC. We intend to continue to have consistent discussions
with filmmakers regarding these investments.
In 2008,
MYST purchased copyrights for 3 motion pictures and 114 internet
broadcasts. MYST also sold copyrights to 2 motion pictures and 13
internet broadcasts during the year ended September 30,
2008. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, MYST entered into an
agreement with a third party to share revenues on an evenly split 50% basis for
revenues generated by a total of 723 internet broadcasts once MYST acquires an
additional approximately 609 internet broadcasts. As of September 30,
2008, MYST held 114 internet broadcasts. With the signing of this
agreement, MYST assured that the availability of the distribution channels which
will be utilized to present these internet broadcast is secured and the Company
can now continue discussions with regard to a formal investment in these
internet broadcasts.
Online
Membership Services
We own a
majority interest in our subsidiary, Subaye.com. We have established a website,
www.subaye.com, which we believe is a premier provider of corporate online video
in China and is seen as a destination for business to business e-commerce in the
PRC for customers who utilize the website to enhance the marketing and promotion
of their business products and services. We continue to experience a strong
demand for our services through www.subaye.com and believe the market it serves
is one of the fastest growing in the PRC, which consequently increases the
demand for our services. These customers are demanding prominent and easily
assessable methods to market and promote their products or
services.
The
Online Membership Services business segment generated revenue growth of 78% and
100% for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The growth in net income for the years ended September
30, 2008 and 2007 was 201% and 100%, respectively. We expect
continued growth in revenues and net income for this business segment during the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2009.
Subaye.com
- Internet Corporate Video Marketing and Promotions
Subaye.com
offers a unique Chinese language corporate video sharing platform for both users
and customers. Subaye.com generated over $7.7 million in revenue for the year
ended September 30, 2008 and $4.3 million in revenue in its first full year of
operations for the year ended September 30, 2007. Subaye.com focuses on the
on-line distribution of marketing content of small to mid-sized enterprises in
the PRC. The Subaye.com platform consists of the www.subaye.com

(“SMEs”) to advertise their products and services and establish and enhance
their corporate brands. Subaye.com also provides its users with easy access to
an index of over 2.77 million video clips, images and web pages.

We have grown significantly since we commenced operations in October of 2006.
Our corporate video uploading services users totaled 34,545 members as of
November 30, 2008. We charge our members a monthly charge of approximately

From July
1, 2007 through December 31, 2007, Subaye.com offered a special promotion to
allow potential member users and current member users use of our website free of
charge. As a result, no revenue was generated by the Company during this time
period.
We
believe that Subaye.com is poised for growth due to the following
strengths:
|
·
|
largest
user base of users seeking videos produced by
SMEs;
|
|
·
|
first
video uploading service provider in the PRC with an extensive customer
base across industries;
|
|
·
|
local
market experience and expertise in introducing and expanding our services
across the PRC and operating in the PRC’s rapidly evolving internet
industry;
|
|
·
|
leading
technology with a proven platform, providing users with relevant video
showcase and customers with a cost-effective way to reach potential
consumers; and
|
|
·
|
extensive
and effective nationwide network of over 100 regional distributors,
providing high-quality and consistent customer
services.
|
Our goal
is to become a platform that provides internet users with the best way to find
information and allows businesses to reach a broad base of potential customers.
We intend to achieve our goal by implementing the following
strategies:
|
·
|
growing
our online video marketing business by attracting potential customers and
increasing per-customer spending on our services, enhancing user
experience;
|
|
·
|
increasing
traffic through the development and introduction of new video-related
features and functions;
|
|
·
|
expanding
Subaye Alliance by leveraging our brand and offering competitive economic
arrangements to Subaye Alliance members;
and
|
|
·
|
pursuing
selective strategic acquisitions and alliances that will allow us to
increase user traffic, enlarge our customer base, expand our product
offerings and reduce customer acquisition
costs.
|
The
successful execution of our strategies is subject to certain risks and
uncertainties, including our ability to:
|
·
|
offer
new and innovative products and services to attract and retain a larger
user base;
|
|
·
|
attract
additional customers and increase per-customer
spending;
|
|
·
|
increase
awareness of our brand and continue to develop user and customer
loyalty;
|
|
·
|
respond
to competitive market conditions;
|
|
·
|
respond
to changes in our regulatory
environment;
|
|
·
|
manage
risks associated with intellectual property
rights;
|
|
·
|
maintain
effective control of our costs and
expenses;
|
|
·
|
raise
sufficient capital to sustain and expand our
business;
|
|
·
|
attract,
retain and motivate qualified personnel;
and
|
|
·
|
upgrade
our technology to support increased traffic and expanded
services.
|
Subaye.com’s
limited operating history may make it more difficult to evaluate our future
prospects and results of operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing any of
these risks and uncertainties, our business may be materially and adversely
affected.
Subaye.com
achieved profitability as of the quarter ended December 31, 2006. We have
experienced growth in recent periods, in part, due to the growth in the PRC’s
online marketing industry, which may not be representative of future growth or
be sustainable. We cannot assure that our historical financial information is
indicative of our future operating results or financial performance, or that our
profitability will be sustained.

2009 the Company expects to begin charging annual membership fees of
approximately $100 which we currently estimate will generate revenues of
approximately $1,000,000 for the year ended September 30, 2009.
Other
Websites
We also
plan to launch the www.goongood.com and www.goongreen.org websites during the
summer of 2009. We currently estimate an additional $1.2 million in
revenues could be generated by these two websites during the year ended
September 30, 2009.
MyStarU.com
and Icurls.com
The
Company purchased www.mystaru.com on October 1, 2006, and www.icurls.com on
November 20, 2006. We expect to use the two websites in 2009 to continue to
develop the Company’s offerings in the arts education market. From October 1,
2006 and through the date of this report, the Company has sold $1,600,000 in
“master franchise licenses” and $1,340,000 in "end user licenses" to unrelated
parties in the PRC. The third party purchasers are intent on utilizing the
Company’s education-related web-based offerings in certain sectors of the PRC
and across potential large portions of the PRC population within each
sector.
The
system is a prototype for state-of-the-art delivery of streaming video
performing education courses in the music and movie industries in the PRC. The
new courseware was developed using the Guangzhou Subaye's EDU v5.0 Education
Management System and is delivered to viewers via the MYST platform. The
multimedia content is produced using Adobe Flash(r) video synchronized
presentations and demonstrative video clips. Users can view multimedia
performing training presentations that include downloadable video files of
course materials and are then able to upload their own video files to teachers
for analysis, which affords users the opportunity to have questions answered by
course teachers. MYST intends to use this new capability to reach hundreds of
thousands of young people who are interested in entering the performing arts,
music and movie industries. MYST’s goal is to deliver education content online
without meaningful limitations or restrictions.
In a
country with significant mobile phone usage, the growth opportunities remain
tremendous. The PRC has more than 1.33 billion people, and mobile services will
remain a strong area of growth. Entertainment content for these mobile devices
is in high demand and MYST is intent on becoming a dominant player within this
space.
SkyeStar.com
We expect
SkyeStar.com to be positioned in 2009 to generate a new revenue stream for the
Company utilizing our pre-existing social networks, established by the entity
over the past several years. However, we are still considering various revenue -
generating business models and have not yet determined which business model we
will formally adopt for this website. SkyeStar.com (“SkyeStar”) was launched
with the intent of utilizing IPTV technology, with new features that allow users
access their SkyeStar accounts using IPTV. SkyeStar is currently a free,
members-only web site that offers community, e-mail, exclusive music and video
downloads, instant messaging, blogs, photos and more. We will generate revenue
by advertising, entertainment downloads, pay per view, video-on-demand and VIP
membership fees.
IPTV, is
the format representing the convergence of internet, television and
telecommunication networks, and is expected to be adopted in the PRC next year.
This technology might not yet be available throughout the PRC but we believe a
significant portion of the PRC’s internet users have already embraced this
technology, and we believe this technology may be adopted on a widespread
basis in 2009.
The PRC
is one of the largest IPTV markets in the world. The PRC was among the first
markets in the world to put IPTV services in commercial trial operation.
Statistics show that there are 360 million TV viewers and 75 million broadband
users in the PRC, creating a significant potential market for development of
IPTV services.
3G
Dynasty is also responsible for sales of MYST’s products, and has focused on
entertainment content for 3G mobile and internet use. IC Star Wireless
Application Protocol (“WAP”) Club is based on the IC Star Theme Club on WAP,
which provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date mobile entertainment
services in the PRC. The WAP users can access IC Star Theme Club for content we
provide through China Mobile Communications. In May 2005, 3G Dynasty created the
website
http://skyestar.com , a multi-channel infotainment portal supported by
proprietary fan clubs and a community platform. It allows new members to
personalize their own homepage with 3G Dynasty’s content. It registers members
and allows them to build their personal homepage on WAP. As the host and content
provider, 3G Dynasty will start publishing a daily Real Simple Syndication
(“RSS”) feed of its original content from a number of its contracted web sites,
including local information, life style and entertainment content. Through the
use of RSS feeds, users can receive 3G Dynasty's daily content automatically,
thereby broadening 3G Dynasty's distribution and providing an additional
platform for mobile phone users who are registered members of the Star Theme
Club on WAP. Members with their homepage on WAP can reach their targeted
audience through wireless technology.
This
personal homepage and WAP membership service was launched in June 2006. The
adoption of RSS has deepened our relationship with our members and enhanced the
appeal of our original content. We believe that RSS represents the next
evolution in the distribution of content. It allows publishers and end users
alike to be seamlessly notified of new content and to integrate that content
into start pages, blogs and websites. As more and more people personalize their
content on the internet, many are turning to RSS feeds to quickly and easily
access information from news and entertainment sites.

Software
Sales
We offer
software-based products through our subsidiary, Guangzhou Subaye, which serves
the voice, video, data, web and mobile communication markets. Since the 2005
launch of our Total Solutions System (“TS”), together with our SEO4Mobile Short
Message Services (“SMS”) search engine software in 2005, we believe that we have
the right software products to deliver our content, in order to serve the
rapidly expanding telecommunications market in the PRC. We are targeting
enterprises in the multimedia communications market in the PRC, where there is
significant growth potential. In the PRC there are billions of messages sent
every month through SMS, which is the basic form of text messaging. We note that
there is also a significant increase in Multimedia Message Services (“MMS”).
MYST’s Customer Relations Management Virtual Call Center (“CRM”) provides highly
customized, scalable and flexible interactive services, offers customers high
value and low cost sales and service solutions using the highly scalable
interactive MMS response, with interactive voice response and speech recognition
solutions.
Total
Solutions System - SMS/MMS Call Center & CRM System
TS, our
specialized software product, offers integrated communications network solutions
and internet content service in universal voice, video, data, web and mobile
communication for interactive media applications, technology and content leaders
in interactive multimedia communications. Designed around MYST’s internet
content and database and integrated into the Information Manager System and
SMS/MMS Call Center CRM System core software, the TS application facilitates the
collaboration of key business processes, such as corporate and marketing
communications, membership distance interactive programs, product development,
customer relationship management and content management by allowing dispersed
enterprise users to collaborate in real time with multimedia message
services.
This
business model is built on the integration of strong entertainment and lifestyle
content into the TS, network database and the application of technology. Network
database was established by signing contracts with strategic partners and
obtaining the database of each partner’s respective internet and mobile phone
users. Our content was built through our business alliance with MyStarU Ltd.
(formerly known as IC Star MMS Limited), which is currently one of our
subsidiaries and a network services provider based in Hong Kong, which provides
links to entertainment and lifestyle information to local communities across the
PRC. MyStarU Ltd., which was originally created as the Star SMS /MMS called “My
Star Friends” community, was first invented as a SMS/MMS interactive between
MyStarU Ltd. and fans of local artists around the world. By integrating the
network database and contents into software that MYST sources from the market,
we can leverage the functions of the software and target it to various
industries.
SEO4Mobile
SEO4Mobile,
a search engine optimization for mobile phones, is the original unique new
service solution creation by Alpha. SEO4Mobile offers wireless mobile phone
service, allowing providers the ability to use SMS search implementation for
their users. Mobile phone users who enter a relevant keyword or keyword phrase,
along with a geographic identifier, can send searches via an SMS to a service
code. The search results will be received by MMS and the search engine
optimization processes the search through the internet within a matter of
minutes. SEO4Mobile has been selected by service providers such as China Mobile
Communications and China Unicom.
Revenues
are derived principally by providing integrated solutions and an AdMaxB2Search
platform by entering into business contracts with enterprises for a fixed
monthly fee. The management of MYST is confident that the SEO4Mobile and
AdMaxB2Search platforms will provide excellent revenue when these two products
gain popularity with mobile phone users. SEO4Mobile is a cutting edge technology
designed to integrate the internet with mobile phones, using search engine
technology using a pay per click business model. We continue to target the
approximate 300 million mobile phone users as well as the 111 million internet
users in the PRC. According to the Ministry of Information of the PRC, the PRC’s
internet users account for about 8.5% of its population, far below the United
States of America, where 60% of the population are internet users.
IBS
v4.1 and v5.0Enterprise Suite
The IBS
v4.1 and v5.0 software suites are our main product line, and include a built-in
MoDirect, an innovative suite of technologies that enables wireless and web
publishers to target SEO4Mobile users more effectively and allows advertisers to
obtain targeted leads with rich demographic data. IBS v4.1 and v5.0 are part of
the TS family. Corporate users can leverage all available information resource
management on the intranet/extranet over the internet, including wireless
applications, and advertisers can use the IBS v4.1 and v5.0 to publish SMS and
MMS by searches on mobile phones. The system enables manufacturers and service
providers to use the internet to establish and manage continuous connections
with automated e-services, operations monitoring and e-commerce offerings. The
system’s customers include end-user clients in many industries throughout the
PRC. The IBS v4.1 and v5.0 standard package includes three servers, software, as
well as system integration.
During
2007, the Company organized Guangzhou Subaye Tech Ltd. (“Guangzhou Subaye”),
which became a new wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On October 1, 2007,
MYST sold Guangzhou Subaye to its majority-owned subsidiary, Subaye.com, for
59,767 shares of Subae.com common stock, which was valued at $119,534. Guangzhou
Subaye is responsible for the operation and management of the Company’s TS,
SMS/MMS virtual Call Center CRM Systems, SEO4Mobile, MoDirect, AdMaxB2Search and
IBS v4.1 and v5.0 software suites. As Guangzhou Subaye integrates with the TS
business group of MYST, it will strategically invest in the PRC, specifically to
address new market dynamics and help SME users get the most from end user
content while effectively handling changes in capacity, deal terms and
players.
The
integration expertise we gained through the successful launch of Guangzhou
Subaye, and the IBS v5.0 Enterprise Suite gives us confidence in our core
business model within the SME market, the potential for our total solution
business, and the achievement of synergies we identified as part of our
strategic investment efforts.
Guangzhou
Subaye has continued to develop relationships established in the past with some
of the Company’s contacts in the internet and business industries such as
Baidu.com (Nasdaq: BIDU), Shanghai Linktone Information Limited (Nasdaq: LTON),
the wireless business division of Beijing eLong Information Technology Limited,
a subsidiary of eLong Inc. (Nasdaq: LONG), 3721 Inter China Network Software Co.
Ltd (www.3721.com), a Yahoo!, Inc. Company (Nasdaq: YHOO), Tencent Company
Limited (www.qq.com), Kongzhong Corporation (Nasdaq: KONG), Guangdong Mobile
Communication Co., Limited, a China Mobile Communications Corporation and China
Mobile (Hong Kong) Ltd. (NYSE: CHL) to develop entertainment SMS, MMS, WAP
portal and other wireless contents such as artist profiles, gaming and an
SEO4Mobile SMS search engine.
Import
and Export Trading
Our
subsidiary, Guangzhou Panyu Metals and Minerals Import & Export Co., Ltd
(“Panyu M&M”) holds the licenses and approvals necessary to operate our
international trading and provide e-commerce logistic agent services. Panyu
M&M operates in today’s global economy and continually delivers quality
services for our importing and exporting clientele. As in the other three
business segments, we believe the import/export businesses of the PRC are
well-positioned.
During
the year ended September 30, 2009, management expects significant growth in
revenues for Panyu M&M. Panyu M&M has been in the process of
negotiating significant distribution contracts with large PRC importers in
recent months and anticipates revenues from these potential new contracts will
be significant if and once finalized.
Sales
and Marketing
Our
employees, including senior management, conduct our primary sales and marketing
efforts. Currently our primary sales staff resides in Foshan City,
China.
We
actively participate in tradeshows involving e-commerce and entertainment arts.
We are currently focused on developing our businesses with limited advertising
and marketing expenditures. However, we have committed to various advertising
initiatives with a Chinese affiliate of Google, Inc., which we expect will
result in significant advertising spending for Subaye.com in
2009. Even so, we depend heavily on word of mouth and the quality of
our products and services to increase revenues.
We invest
regularly in copyrights covering programming rights for motion pictures, the
web-broadcasting of motion pictures, related DVDs and television programming. We
have not yet invested in any overseas ventures (outside the PRC) within the
entertainment arts business segment but it is possible we will make investments
in overseas markets in the future.
As of
September 30, 2008, we had a total of 189 employees. The chart below
provides a general breakout of our employee ranks as of September 30,
2008.

Risks
Related to Our Business
Our
limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects
and results of operations.
We have a
limited operating history. Accordingly, you should consider our future prospects
in light of the risks and uncertainties experienced by early stage companies in
evolving industries such as the telecommunications and internet industries in
China. As a result of our limited operating history, we have limited financial
data that you can use to evaluate our business and prospects. As a result of
these factors, the future revenue and income potential of our business is
uncertain. If we are unsuccessful in addressing any of these risks and
uncertainties, our business may be materially and adversely
affected.
We
sustained losses in the past and our historical financial information may not be
representative of our future results of operations.
We have
experienced growth in recent periods, in part, due to the growth in China’s
telecommunications and online marketing industry, which may not be
representative of future growth or be sustainable. We cannot assure you that our
historical financial information is indicative of our future operating results
or financial performance, or that our profitability will be
sustained.
We
face significant competition and may suffer from a loss of users and customers
as a result.
We face
significant competition in almost every aspect of our business, particularly
from other companies that seek to provide internet video services to users and
provide online marketing services to customers. Our main competitors include
U.S.-based internet video providers such as Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft, as
well as other Chinese internet companies. These Chinese competitors include
internet portals such as Netease, Sina and Sohu, other internet video service
providers, such as Baidu, and business-to-business, or B2B, service providers
such as Alibaba. We compete with these entities for both users and customers on
the basis of user traffic, quality (relevance) and quantity (index size) of the
video online, availability and ease restriction of use of products and services,
the number of customers, distribution channels and the number of associated
third-party websites. In addition, we may face greater competition from our U.S.
competitors as a result of, among other things, a relaxation on the foreign
ownership restrictions of PRC internet content and advertising companies,
improvements in online payment systems and internet infrastructure in China and
our U.S. competitors’ increased business activities in China.
Many of
these competitors have significantly greater financial resources than we do.
They also have longer operating histories and more experience in attracting and
retaining users and managing customers than we do. They may use their experience
and resources to compete with us in a variety of ways, including by competing
more heavily for users, customers, distributors and networks of third-party
websites, investing more heavily in research and development and making
acquisitions. If any of our competitors provide comparable or better Chinese
language video sharing experience, our user traffic could decline significantly.
Any such decline in traffic could weaken our brand, result in loss of customers
and users and have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations.
We also
face competition from traditional advertising media, such as newspapers,
magazines, yellow pages, billboards and other forms of outdoor media, television
and radio. Most large companies in China allocate, and will likely continue to
allocate, most of their marketing budgets to traditional advertising media and
only a small portion of their budgets to online marketing. If these companies do
not devote a larger portion of their marketing budgets to online marketing
services provided by us, or if our existing customers reduce the amount they
spend on online marketing, our results of operations and future growth prospects
could be adversely affected.
Our
business depends on a strong network, and if we are not able to maintain and
enhance our network, we may lose customers, resulting in a reduction in
revenue.
We have
developed our user base primarily by word-of-mouth and incurred limited brand
promotion expenses. We have recently initiated brand promotion efforts, but we
cannot assure you that our new marketing efforts will be successful in further
promoting our brand. If we fail to promote and maintain the “MyStarU” and
"Subaye" brands, or if we incur excessive expenses in this effort, our business
and results of operations could be materially and adversely
affected.
If
we fail to continue to innovate and provide relevant products and services, we
may not be able to generate sufficient user traffic levels to remain
competitive, resulting in a loss of customers and reduction in
revenue.
Our
success depends on providing products and services that people use for a
high-quality internet video experience. Our competitors are constantly
developing innovations in internet video and online marketing as well as
enhancing users’ online experience. As a result, we must continue to invest
significant resources in research and development to enhance our internet video
technology and our existing products and services and introduce additional high
quality products and services to attract and retain users. If we are unable to
anticipate user preferences or industry changes, or if we are unable to modify
our products and services on a timely basis, we may lose users and customers.
Our operating results would also suffer if our innovations do not respond to the
needs of our users and customers, or are not appropriately timed with market
opportunities or are not effectively brought to market. As video technology
continues to develop, our competitors may be able to offer video sharing results
that are, or that are perceived to be, substantially similar to or better than
those generated by our video services. This may force us to expend significant
resources in order to remain competitive.
If
we fail to keep up with rapid technological changes, our future success may be
adversely affected due to a loss of customers and reduced ability to attract new
customers.
The
online and telecommunications marketing industries are subject to rapid
technological changes. Our future success will depend on our ability to respond
to rapidly changing technologies, adapt our services to evolving industry
standards and improve the performance and reliability of our services. Our
failure to adapt to such changes could harm our business. New marketing media
could also adversely affect us. For example, the number of people accessing the
internet through devices other than personal computers, including mobile
telephones and hand-held devices, has increased in recent years. If we are slow
to develop products and technologies that are more compatible with those devices
or non-PC communications devices, we may not be successful in capturing a
significant share of this increasingly important market for media and other
services. In addition, the widespread adoption of new internet, networking or
telecommunications technologies or other technological changes could require
substantial expenditures to modify or adapt our products, services or
infrastructure. If we fail to keep up with rapid technological changes to remain
competitive in our rapidly evolving industry, our future success may be
adversely affected.
We
may not be able to prevent others from unauthorized use of our intellectual
property, which could result in a reduction of income and loss of
customers.
We rely
on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as
nondisclosure agreements and other methods to protect our intellectual property
rights. The protection of intellectual property rights in China may not be as
effective as those in the United States or other countries. The steps we have
taken may be inadequate to prevent the misappropriation of our technology.
Reverse engineering, unauthorized copying or other misappropriation of our
technologies could enable third parties to benefit from our technologies without
paying us. Moreover, unauthorized use of our technology could enable our
competitors to offer internet videos online, or online advertising services that
are comparable to or better than ours, which could harm our business and
competitive position. From time to time, we may have to enforce our intellectual
property rights through litigation. Such litigation may result in substantial
costs and diversion of resources and management attention.
Online
marketing is a relatively novel concept in China and our business strategy may
prove to be ineffective, resulting in loss of customers and
revenue.
If our
Online Membership Services business segment fails to retain existing customers
or attract new customers for our online marketing services, our business and
growth prospects could be seriously harmed. Our online marketing customers will
not continue to do business with us if their investment does not generate sales
and ultimately consumers, or if we do not deliver their web pages in an
appropriate and effective manner. Our customers may discontinue their business
with us at any time and for any reason as they are not subject to fixed-term
contracts. Failure to retain our existing online marketing customers or attract
new customers for our online marketing services could seriously harm our
business and growth prospects.
Our
reliance on third-party distributors poses operational risks to our
business.
Because
we primarily rely on distributors in providing our Subaye.com VIDEO SHARING
services, our failure to retain key distributors or attract additional
distributors could materially and adversely affect our business.
Online
marketing is at an early stage of development in China and is not as widely
accepted by or available to businesses in China as in the United States. As a
result, we rely heavily on a nationwide distribution network of third-party
distributors for our sales to, and collection of payment from, our VIDEO SHARING
customers. If our distributors do not provide quality services to our VIDEO
SHARING customers or otherwise breach their contracts with our VIDEO SHARING
customers, we may lose customers and our results of operations may be materially
and adversely affected. We do not have long-term agreements with any of our
distributors, including our key distributors, and cannot assure you that we will
continue to maintain favorable relationships with them. Our distribution
arrangements, except for those with our key distributors, are non-exclusive.
Furthermore, some of our distributors also contract with our competitors or
potential competitors and may not renew their distribution agreements with us.
In addition, as new methods for accessing the internet, including the use of
wireless devices, become available, we may need to expand our distribution
network. If we fail to retain our key distributors or attract additional
distributors on terms that are commercially reasonable, our business and results
of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Our
strategy of acquiring complementary businesses, assets and technologies may fail
which could reduce our ability to compete for customers.
As part
of our business strategy, we have pursued, and intend to continue to pursue,
selective strategic acquisitions of businesses, assets and technologies that
complement our existing business. We may make other acquisitions in the future
if suitable opportunities arise. Acquisitions involve uncertainties and risks,
including:
|
•
|
potential
ongoing financial obligations and unforeseen or hidden
liabilities;
|
|
•
|
failure
to achieve the intended objectives, benefits or revenue-enhancing
opportunities;
|
|
•
|
costs
and difficulties of integrating acquired businesses and managing a larger
business; and
|
|
•
|
diversion
of resources and management
attention.
|
Our
failure to address these risks successfully may have a material adverse effect
on our financial condition and results of operations. Any such acquisition may
require a significant amount of capital investment, which would decrease the
amount of cash available for working capital or capital expenditures. In
addition, if we use our equity securities to pay for acquisitions, we may dilute
the value of your shares. If we borrow funds to finance acquisitions, such debt
instruments may contain restrictive covenants that could, among other things,
restrict us from distributing dividends. Such acquisitions may also generate
significant amortization expenses related to intangible assets.
We
may not be able to manage our expanding operations effectively which could
impede our growth.
The
Company was organized on January 6, 1997 and we have expanded our
operations rapidly. We anticipate significant continued expansion of our
business as we address growth in our user-base, customer-base and market
opportunities. To manage the potential growth of our operations and personnel,
we will be required to improve operational and financial systems, procedures and
controls, and expand, train and manage our growing employee base. Furthermore,
our management will be required to maintain and expand our relationships with
other websites, internet companies and other third parties. We cannot assure you
that our current and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be
adequate to support our future operations.
Our
operating results may fluctuate, which makes our results difficult to predict
and could cause our results to fall short of expectations.
Our
operating results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many of
which are outside of our control. For these reasons, comparing our operating
results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and you should not
rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance. Our
quarterly and annual revenues and costs and expenses as a percentage of our
revenues may be significantly different from our historical or projected rates.
Our operating results in future quarters may fall below expectations. Any of
these events could cause the price of our common stock to fall.
Our user
traffic tends to be seasonal. For example, we generally experience less user
traffic during public holidays in China. In addition, advertising spending in
China has historically been cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions as
well as budgeting and buying patterns. Our rapid growth has lessened the impact
of the cyclicality and seasonality of our business. As we continue to grow, we
expect that the cyclicality and seasonality in our business may cause our
operating results to fluctuate.
Our
business may be adversely affected by third-party software applications that
interfere with our receipt of information from, and provision of information to,
our users, which may impair our users’ experience, resulting in a loss of
customers.
Our
business may be adversely affected by third-party malicious or unintentional
software applications that make changes to our users’ computers and interfere
with our products and services. These software applications may change our
users’ internet experience by hijacking queries to our websites, altering or
replacing our video play results, or otherwise interfering with our ability to
connect with our users. The interference often occurs without disclosure to or
consent from users, resulting in a negative experience that users may associate
with our websites and the Company itself. These software applications may be
difficult or impossible to remove or disable, may reinstall themselves and may
circumvent other applications’ efforts to block or remove them. The ability to
provide a superior user experience is critical to our success. If our efforts to
combat these software applications are unsuccessful, our reputation may be
harmed. This could result in a decline in user traffic and, consequently, our
revenues.
The
successful operation of our business depends upon the performance and
reliability of the internet infrastructure and fixed telecommunications networks
in China and diminished reliability could result in loss of confidence among our
users which could lead to reduced revenues or loss of customers.
Our
business depends on the performance and reliability of the internet
infrastructure in China. Almost all access to the internet is maintained through
state-owned telecommunication operators under the administrative control and
regulatory supervision of the Ministry of Information Industry of China. In
addition, the national networks in China are connected to the internet through
international gateways controlled by the PRC government. These international
gateways are the only channels through which a domestic user can connect to the
internet. We cannot assure you that a more sophisticated internet infrastructure
will be developed in China. We may not have access to alternative networks in
the event of disruptions, failures or other problems with China’s internet
infrastructure. In addition, the internet infrastructure in China may not
support the demands associated with continued growth in internet
usage.
We
rely on highly skilled personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key
personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow
effectively.
Our
performance and future success depends on the talents and efforts of highly
skilled individuals. We will need to continue to identify, hire, develop,
motivate and retain highly skilled personnel for all areas of our organization.
Competition in our industry for qualified employees is intense. Our continued
ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to attract new employees
and to retain and motivate our existing employees.
As
competition in our industry intensifies, it may be more difficult for us to
hire, motivate and retain highly skilled personnel. If we do not succeed in
attracting additional highly skilled personnel or retaining or motivating our
existing personnel, we may be unable to grow effectively.
If
we are unable to adapt or expand our existing technology infrastructure to
accommodate greater traffic or additional customer requirements, we may lose
customers.
Our
www.mystaru.com website regularly serves a large number of users and customers
and delivers a large number of daily video views. Our technology infrastructure
is highly complex and may not provide satisfactory service in the future,
especially as the number of customers using our web-based services increases. We
may be required to upgrade our technology infrastructure to keep up with the
increasing traffic on our websites, such as increasing the capacity of our
hardware servers and the sophistication of our software. If we fail to adapt our
technology infrastructure to accommodate greater traffic or customer
requirements, our users and customers may become dissatisfied with our services
and switch to our competitors’ websites, which could harm our
business.
If
we fail to detect click-through fraud, we could lose the confidence of our
customers and our revenues could decline.
We are
exposed to the risk of fraudulent clicks on ads posted by individuals seeking to
increase the advertising fees paid to our web publishers when we commence
internet advertising services. Although we have not historically generated
revenues from advertising, we may do so in the future. We may have to refund
revenue that our advertisers have paid to us and that was later attributed to
click-through fraud. Click-through fraud occurs when an individual clicks on an
ad displayed on a website for the sole intent of generating the revenue share
payment to the publisher rather than to view the underlying content. From time
to time it is possible that fraudulent clicks will occur and we would not allow
our advertisers to be charged for such fraudulent clicks. This
would negatively affect the profitability of our online advertising agency
business, and this type of fraudulent act could hurt our brand. If fraudulent
clicks are not detected, the affected advertisers may experience a reduced
return on their investment in our performance-based advertising network, which
could lead the advertisers to become dissatisfied with our online advertising
agency business, and in turn lead to loss of advertisers and the related
revenue. At the moment, we have no specific plans to focus on mitigating this
risk through specific actions but we may need to subscribe to certain applicable
software platforms that detect click-through fraud and possibly work with
consultants to further mitigate this risk. This could adversely affect our
business and our prospects.
Interruption
or failure of our information technology and communications systems could impair
our ability to effectively provide our products and services, which could damage
our reputation and harm our operating results.
Our
ability to provide our products and services depends on the continuing operation
of our information technology and communications systems. Any damage to or
failure of our systems could interrupt our service. Service interruptions could
reduce our revenues and profits, and damage our brand if our system is perceived
to be unreliable. Our systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption as a
result of terrorist attacks, war, earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss,
telecommunications failures, computer viruses, interruptions in access to our
websites through the use of “denial of service” or similar attacks, hacking or
other attempts to harm our systems, and similar events. Our servers, which are
hosted at third-party internet data centers, are also vulnerable to break-ins,
sabotage and vandalism. Some of our systems are not fully redundant, and our
disaster recovery planning does not account for all possible scenarios. The
occurrence of a natural disaster or a closure of an internet data center by a
third-party provider without adequate notice could result in lengthy service
interruptions.
In
October 2006, Subaye.com failed to provide internet video sharing results for
approximately four hours as a result of an error in operations. If we experience
frequent or persistent system failures on our website, our reputation and brand
could be permanently harmed. The steps we plan to take to increase the
reliability and redundancy of our systems are expensive, reduce our operating
margin and may not be successful in reducing the frequency or duration of
service interruptions.
If
our software contains bugs, we could lose the confidence of users, resulting in
loss of customers and a reduction of revenue.
Our
online systems, including our websites, our enterprise video play software and
other software applications and products, could contain undetected errors or
“bugs” that could adversely affect their performance. We regularly update and
enhance our website and our other online systems and introduce new versions of
our software products and applications. The occurrence of errors in any of these
may cause us to lose market share, damage our reputation and brand name, and
materially and adversely affect our business.
Concerns
about the security of electronic commerce transactions and confidentiality of
information on the internet may reduce use of our network and impede our
growth.
A
significant barrier to electronic commerce and communications over the internet
in general has been a public concern over security and privacy, including the
transmission of confidential information. If these concerns are not adequately
addressed, they may inhibit the growth of the internet and other online services
generally, especially as a means of conducting commercial transactions. If a
well-publicized internet breach of security were to occur, general internet
usage could decline, which could reduce traffic to our destination websites and
impede our growth.
We
have limited business insurance coverage and potential liabilities could exceed
our ability to pay them.
The
insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance
companies in China offer limited business insurance products. We do not have any
business liability or disruption insurance coverage for our operations in China.
Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster may result in our
incurring substantial costs and the diversion of our resources.
Risks
Related to Our Corporate Structure
PRC
laws and regulations governing our businesses and the validity of certain of our
contractual arrangements are uncertain. If we are found to be in violation, we
could be subject to sanctions which could result in significant disruptions to
our operations and/or our ability to generate revenues.
There are
substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC
laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations
governing our business, or the enforcement and performance of our contractual
arrangements with our vendors and customers. MyStarU.com is considered a foreign
person or foreign enterprise under PRC law. As a result, we are subject to PRC
law limitations on foreign ownership of internet and advertising companies.
These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and
their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial
uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments
may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws
and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be
applied retroactively.
PRC laws
currently provide limited guidance as to whether an internet video provider that
provides video result links to domestic news websites is required to obtain an
approval from the State Council News Office. PRC laws also do not provide clear
guidance as to whether an internet video provider that provides links to online
audio/video products is required to obtain an internet culture permit from the
Ministry of Culture or a license for broadcasting audio/video programs from the
State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. If the interpretation of
existing laws and regulations changes or new regulations comes into effect
requiring us to obtain any such licenses, permits or approvals, we cannot assure
you that we may successfully obtain them, and we may need to remove links to
news and audio/video products until we obtain the requisite licenses, permits
and approvals.
The PRC
government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and
regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licenses and
requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits
issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a
later time by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the
interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We
cannot assure you that our current ownership and operating structure would not
be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a
result, we may be subject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required
to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. Any of these
or similar actions could significantly disrupt our business operations or
restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations,
which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
Complexity,
uncertainties and changes in PRC regulation of internet business and companies
could affect our operations, including placing limitations on our ability to own
key assets, such as our websites.
The PRC
government extensively regulates the internet industry including foreign
ownership of, and the licensing and permit requirements pertaining to companies
in the internet industry. These internet-related laws and regulations are
relatively new and evolving, and their interpretation and enforcement involve
significant uncertainty. As a result, in certain circumstances it may be
difficult to determine what actions or omissions may be deemed to be a violation
of applicable laws and regulations. Issues, risks and uncertainties relating to
PRC government regulation of the internet industry include the
following:
|
•
|
We
only have contractual control over our websites. We do not own the
websites due to the restriction of foreign investment in businesses
providing value-added telecommunication services in China, including
online information services.
|
|
•
|
There
are uncertainties relating to the regulation of the internet business in
China, including evolving licensing practices, which means that permits,
licenses or operations at some of our companies may be subject to
challenge. This may disrupt our business, or subject us to sanctions,
requirements to increase capital or other conditions or enforcement, or
compromise enforceability of related contractual arrangements, or have
other harmful effects on us.
|
|
•
|
Certain
PRC government authorities have stated publicly that they are in the
process of promulgating new laws and regulations that will regulate
internet activities. The areas of regulation may include online
advertising, online news displaying, online audio-video program
broadcasting and the provision of culture-related information over the
internet. Other aspects of our online operations may be regulated in the
future. If our operations do not comply with these new regulations at the
time they become effective, we could be subject to
penalties.
|
The
interpretation and application of existing PRC laws, regulations and policies
and possible new laws, regulations or policies have created substantial
uncertainties regarding the legality of existing and future foreign investments
in, and the businesses and activities of, internet businesses in China,
including our business.
In
order to comply with PRC laws limiting foreign ownership of internet and
advertising businesses, we conduct our ICP (independent content
provider) and online advertising businesses through our PRC-organized
subsidiary. If the PRC government determines that these contractual arrangements
do not comply with applicable regulations, our ability to operate could be
significantly reduced resulting in loss of customers and revenue.
The PRC
government restricts foreign investment in internet and advertising businesses.
Accordingly, we operate our websites and our online advertising business in
China through our PRC-organized subsidiary. Our PRC-organized subsidiary holds
the licenses and approvals necessary to operate our website and our online
advertising business in China. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be
able to enforce these contracts. Although we believe we comply with current PRC
regulations, we cannot assure you that the PRC government would agree that these
operating arrangements comply with PRC licensing, registration or other
regulatory requirements, with existing policies or with requirements or policies
that may be adopted in the future. If the PRC government determines that we do
not comply with applicable law, it could revoke our business and operating
licenses, require us to discontinue or restrict our operations, restrict our
right to collect revenues, block our website, require us to restructure our
operations, impose additional conditions or requirements with which we may not
be able to comply, impose restrictions on our business operations or on our
customers, or take other regulatory or enforcement actions against us that could
be harmful to our business.
Risks
Related to Doing Business in China
If
the internet and, in particular, online marketing are not broadly adopted in
China, our ability to increase revenue and sustain profitability could be
significantly reduced.
The use
of the internet as a marketing channel is at an early stage in China. Internet
and broadband penetration rates in China are both relatively low compared to
those in most developed countries. Many of our current and potential customers
have limited experience with the internet as a marketing channel, and have not
historically devoted a significant portion of their marketing budgets to online
marketing and promotion. As a result, they may not consider the internet
effective in promoting their products and services as compared to traditional
print and broadcast media.
Regulation
and censorship of information disseminated over the internet in China may
disrupt our operations and subject us to liability for information linked to our
websites, resulting in reduced income.
The PRC
government has adopted regulations governing internet access and the
distribution of news and other information over the internet. Under these
regulations, internet content providers and internet publishers are prohibited
from posting or displaying over the internet content that, among other things,
violates PRC laws and regulations, impairs the national dignity of China, or is
reactionary, obscene, superstitious, fraudulent or defamatory. Failure to comply
with these requirements may result in the revocation of licenses to provide
internet content and other licenses and the closure of the concerned websites.
In the past, failure to comply with such requirements has resulted in the
closure of certain websites. The website operator may also be held liable for
such censored information displayed on or linked to the website.
In
addition, the Ministry of Information Industry has published regulations that
subject website operators to potential liability for content displayed on their
websites and the actions of users and others using their systems, including
liability for violations of PRC laws prohibiting the dissemination of content
deemed to be socially destabilizing. The Ministry of Public Security has the
authority to order any local internet service provider to block any internet
website at its sole discretion. From time to time, the Ministry of Public
Security has stopped the dissemination over the internet of information which it
believes to be socially destabilizing. The State Secrecy Bureau is also
authorized to block any website it deems to be leaking State secrets or failing
to meet the relevant regulations relating to the protection of State secrets in
the dissemination of online information.
Although
we attempt to monitor the content in our video sharing results and on our
Subaye.com VIDEO UPLOADER, we are not able to control or restrict the content of
other internet content providers linked to or accessible through our websites,
or content generated or placed on our VIDEO UPLOADER by our users. To the extent
that PRC regulatory authorities find any content displayed on our websites
objectionable, they may require us to limit or eliminate the dissemination of
such information on our websites, which may reduce our user traffic and have an
adverse effect on our business. In addition, we may be subject to penalties for
violations of those regulations arising from information displayed on or linked
to our websites, including a suspension or shutdown of our online
operations.
PRC
government authorities may deem certain third-party websites unlawful and could
require us to remove links to such websites, which may reduce our user traffic
and reduce revenues.
The
internet industry in China, including the operation of online activities, is
extensively regulated by the PRC government. Various PRC government authorities,
such as the State Council, the Ministry of Information Industry, the State
Administration for Industry and Commerce, the State Press and Publication
Administration and the Ministry of Public Security are empowered to issue and
implement regulations governing various aspects of the internet and online
activities. Substantial uncertainties exist regarding the potential impact of
current and future PRC laws and regulations on internet video providers. We are
not able to control or restrict the operation of third-party websites linked to
or accessible through our website. If third-party websites linked to or
accessible through our websites operate unlawful activities such as online
gambling on their websites, PRC regulatory authorities may require us to remove
the links to such websites or suspend or shut down the operation of such
websites. This in turn may reduce our user traffic and adversely affect our
business. In addition, we may be subject to potential liabilities for providing
links to third-party websites that operate unlawful activities.
Intensified
government regulation of internet cafes could restrict our ability to maintain
or increase user traffic to our website.
In April
2001, the PRC government began tightening its regulation of internet cafes. In
particular, a large number of unlicensed internet cafes have been closed. In
addition, the PRC government has imposed higher capital and facility
requirements for the establishment of internet cafes. Furthermore, the PRC
government’s policy, which encourages the development of a limited number of
national and regional internet cafe chains and discourages the establishment of
independent internet cafes, may slow down the growth of internet cafes.
Recently, the Ministry of Culture, together with other government authorities,
issued a joint notice suspending the issuance of new internet cafe licenses. It
is unclear when this suspension will be lifted. So long as internet cafes are
one of the primary venues for our users to access our website, any reduction in
the number, or any slowdown in the growth, of internet cafes in China could
limit our ability to maintain or increase user traffic to our
website.
If
PRC law were to phase out the preferential tax benefits currently being extended
to foreign invested enterprises and “new or high-technology enterprises” located
in a high-tech zone, we would have to pay more taxes, which could result in
reduced income.
Under PRC
laws and regulations, a foreign invested enterprise may enjoy preferential tax
benefits if it is registered in a high-tech zone and also qualifies as a “new or
high-technology enterprise” or a “software developer enterprise.” If the PRC law
were to phase out preferential tax benefits currently granted to “new or
high-technology enterprises” and technology consulting services, we would be
subject to the standard statutory tax rate, which currently is 33%, and we would
be unable to obtain business tax refunds for our provision of technology
consulting services. Loss of these preferential tax treatments could have a
material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of
operations.
Governmental
control of currency conversion may affect the value of your
investment.
The PRC
government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies
and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive
substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current structure, our cash
receipts are primarily derived from cash transfers from our PRC subsidiaries.
Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of
our PRC subsidiaries and our affiliated entities to remit sufficient foreign
currency to pay cash or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign
currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange
regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions,
interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made
in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration
of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However,
approval from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be
converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital
expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies.
The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to
foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange
control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy
our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies
to our shareholders, including holders of our Common Stock.
Recent
PRC regulations relating to acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign entities
may create regulatory uncertainties that could limit our PRC subsidiaries’
ability to distribute dividends or otherwise adversely affect the implementation
of our acquisition strategy.
The PRC
State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued a public notice in
January 2005 concerning foreign exchange regulations on mergers and acquisitions
in China. The public notice states that if an offshore company intends to
acquire a PRC company, such acquisition will be subject to strict examination by
the relevant foreign exchange authorities. The public notice also states that
the approval of the relevant foreign exchange authorities is required for any
sale or transfer by the PRC residents of a PRC company’s assets or equity
interests to foreign entities, such as us, for equity interests or assets of the
foreign entities.
In April 2005, SAFE issued another public
notice clarifying the January notice. In accordance with the April notice, if an
acquisition of a PRC company by an offshore company controlled by PRC residents
had been confirmed by a Foreign Investment Enterprise Certificate prior to the
issuance of the January notice, each of the PRC residents is required to submit
a registration form to the local SAFE branch to register his or her respective
ownership interests in the offshore company. The SAFE notices do not specify the
timeframe during which such registration must be completed. The PRC resident
must also amend such registration form if there is a material event affecting
the offshore company, such as, among other things, a change to share capital, a
transfer of stock, or if such company is involved in a merger and an acquisition
or a spin-off transaction or uses its assets in China to guarantee offshore
obligations. We have notified our shareholders who are PRC residents to register
with the local SAFE branch as required under the SAFE notices. However, we
cannot provide any assurances that all of our shareholders who are PRC residents
will comply with our request to make or obtain any applicable registrations or
approvals required by these SAFE notices. The failure or inability of our PRC
resident shareholders to comply with the registration procedures set forth
therein may subject us to fines and legal sanctions, restrict our cross-border
investment activities, or limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute
dividends to our company.
As it is
uncertain how the SAFE notices will be interpreted or implemented, we cannot
predict how these regulations will affect our business operations or future
strategy. For example, we may be subject to more stringent review and approval
process with respect to our foreign exchange activities, such as remittance of
dividends and foreign-currency-denominated borrowings, which may adversely
affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if we
decide to acquire a PRC company, we cannot assure you that we or the owners of
such company, as the case may be, will be able to obtain the necessary approvals
or complete the necessary filings and registrations required by the SAFE
notices. This may restrict our ability to implement our acquisition strategy and
could adversely affect our business and prospects.
Fluctuation
in the value of RMB may have a material adverse effect on your
investment.
The value
of RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is
affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions.
On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging
the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMB is
permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of
certain foreign currencies. While the international reaction to the RMB
revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international
pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy,
which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB
against the U.S. dollar. Our revenues and costs are mostly denominated in RMB,
while a significant portion of our financial assets are denominated in U.S.
dollars. We rely entirely on dividends and other fees paid to us by our
subsidiaries and affiliated entity in China. Any significant revaluation of RMB
may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues, earnings and
financial position, and the value of, and any dividends payable on, our stock in
U.S. dollars. For example, an appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar would
make any new RMB denominated investment or expenditure more costly to us, to the
extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for such purposes. An
appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar would also result in foreign
currency translation losses for financial reporting purposes when we translate
our RMB denominated financial assets into U.S. Dollars, as the U.S. Dollar is
our reporting currency.
Risks
Related to Our Stock Being Publicly Traded
Our
stock price may be volatile.
We cannot
predict the extent to which a trading market will develop for our common stock
or how liquid that market might become. The trading price of our common stock is
expected to be highly volatile as well as subject to wide fluctuations in price
in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These
factors include:
|
•
|
Quarterly
variations in our results of operations or those of our
competitors.
|
|
•
|
Announcements
by us or our competitors of acquisitions, new products, significant
contracts, commercial relationships or capital
commitments.
|
|
•
|
Our
ability to develop and market new and enhanced products on a timely
basis.
|
|
•
|
Changes
in governmental regulations or in the status of our regulatory
approvals.
|
|
•
|
Changes
in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities
analysts.
|
|
•
|
General
economic conditions and slow or negative growth of related
markets.
|
In
addition, the stock market in general, and the market for technology companies
in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have
often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those
companies. These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market
price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. In
addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and
the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation
has often been instituted against these companies. Such litigation, if
instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our
management’s attention and resources.
You
may experience substantial dilution if we raise funds through the issuance of
additional equity and/or convertible securities.
We are
likely to engage in equity financing in the future in order to raise funds for
working capital, financing expansion efforts and/or investing in research and
development. Such financing may result in a substantial dilution of your equity
stake in our company.
The
Company has an operating lease for its headquarters in Foshan City, People’s
Republic of China. The office has a gross area of approximately 4,010
square feet, for a term of 36 months from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2011 in
the amount of $173,232 or $4,812 on a monthly basis.
Item 3. Legal
Proceedings.
As of the
date of this filing, the Company is not a party to any legal proceeding that
could reasonably be expected to have a material impact on our operations or
finances.

Market
Information.
Our
common stock is currently traded on a limited basis on the OTCBB in the United
States of America under the symbol “MYST.OB.” The quotation of our common stock
on the OTCBB does not assure that a meaningful, consistent and liquid trading
market currently exists. We cannot predict whether a more active market for our
common stock will develop in the future. In the absence of an active trading
market:
|
·
|
Investors
may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market
quotations;
|
|
·
|
Market
visibility for our common stock may be limited;
and
|
|
·
|
A
lack of visibility of our common stock may have a depressive effect on the
market price for our common stock.
|
The
reported high and low sale prices for the common stock are shown below for the
periods indicated. The prices reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail
mark-up, markdown or commissions, and may not always represent actual
transactions. As of September 30, 2008, we had approximately 195 stockholders of
record. We anticipate many more shares are held in “street name” whereby our
transfer agent does not have a record the individual or entity who holds the
stock certificates.

Dividends.
There are
no present material restrictions that limit the ability of the Company to pay
dividends on common stock or that are likely to do so in the future. The Company
has not paid any dividends with respect to its common stock, and does not intend
to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
Our common stock may be subject to
the “penny stock” rules as promulgated under the Exchange
Act.
In the
event that no exclusion from the definition of “penny stock” under the Exchange
Act is available, then any broker engaging in a transaction in our common stock
will be required to provide its customers with a risk disclosure document,
disclosure of market quotations, if any, disclosure of the compensation of the
broker-dealer and its sales person in the transaction, and monthly account
statements showing the market values of our securities held in the customer’s
accounts. The bid and offer quotation and compensation information must be
provided prior to effecting the transaction and must be contained on the
customer’s confirmation of sale. Certain brokers are less willing to engage in
transactions involving “penny stocks” as a result of the additional disclosure
requirements described above, which may make it more difficult for holders of
our common stock to dispose of their shares.
Future Sales of Large Amounts of
Common Stock Could Adversely Affect the Market Price of Our Common
Stock and Our Ability to Raise Capital.
Future
sales of our common stock by existing stockholders pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or following the
exercise of future option grants, could adversely affect the market price of our
common stock. Our directors and executive officers and their family members are
not under lockup letters or other forms of restriction on the sale of their
common stock. The issuance of any or all of these additional shares upon
exercise of options will dilute the voting power of our current stockholders on
corporate matters and, as a result, may cause the market price of our common
stock to decrease. Further, sales of a large number of shares of common stock in
the public market could adversely affect the market price of the common stock
and could materially impair our future ability to generate funds through sales
of common stock or other equity securities.
Recent Sales of Unregistered
Securities.
On March
8, 2008, MYST sold 5,000,000 shares of common stock to ZeStock Holdings Ltd. at
$0.12 a share for $600,000. The securities were issued in reliance on an
exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and all securities are “restricted
securities” within the meaning under the Securities Act.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
periodic report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the
financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating
efficiencies or synergies, competitive positions, growth opportunities for
existing products, plans and objectives of management. Statements in this
periodic report that are not historical facts are hereby identified as
“forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by
Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act.
Prospective shareholders should understand that several factors govern whether
any forward-looking statement contained herein will be or can be achieved. Any
one of those factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected herein. These forward-looking statements include plans and objectives
of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to
the products and the future economic performance of the Company. Assumptions
relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things,
future economic, competitive and market conditions, future business decisions,
and the time and money required to successfully complete development projects,
all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which
are beyond the control of the Company. Although we believe that the assumptions

Revenues
increased by $7,616,831:
Revenues
were $29,171,642 for the year ended September 30, 2008 compared to $21,554,811
for the year ended September 30, 2007. The increase of $7,616,831 is due
primarily to the Company’s growth in its online membership services business
segment and investments in its entertainment art productions business
segment. For the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company
recorded revenues of approximately $7.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively,

from the www.subaye.com website. For the years ended September 30,
2008 and 2007, the Company recorded approximately $6.9 million and $3.9 million
in revenues, respectively, for the Company's investments in entertainment arts
business segment. The Company's licensing and outright sales of its
entertainment assets, namely copyrights, continued according to management's
plans. During the year ended September 30, 2008, MYST sold copyrights
to 1 motion picture for approximately $860,000, 1 copyright for television
rights for approximately $308,000 and copyrights to 12 internet broadcasts for
$1.7 million, respectively. Additionally, during the year ended
September 30, 2008, a total of $1.6 million and $1.34 million was recorded for
"master franchise licenses" sales and "end user licenses,"
respectively. Additionally, the Company recorded revenue from
internet broadcast "playing fees" and related revenue sharing arrangements of
approximately $660,000 for the year ended September 30, 2008. During the year

million. Additionally, during the year ended September 30, 2007, a total of
$800,000 was recorded for "master franchise licenses" sales. The

increase and were approximately $12.5 million in 2008 versus revenues of
approximately $11.4 million in 2007. The Company expects the importing and
exporting business to expand significantly in the coming years due to current
contracts and various significant potential contracts the Company is expecting
to negotiate in the near future. The Company’s revenues for the years
ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 from the software sales business segment were
approximately $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The
Company is committed to its software sales business segment and is in the
process of formalizing new business plans which will utilize the Company’s
software platforms to enhance the user’s experiences on the Company’s various
websites.
Costs
of Sales increased by $2,000,428:
Costs of
sales were $20,219,600 for the year ended September 30, 2008 compared to
$18,219,172 for the year ended September 30, 2007. Amortization of the Company's
websites which was included in costs of sales for the years ended September 30,
2008 and 2007 totaled $2.7 million and $1.9 million,
respectively. Amortization of the Company's computer software which
was included in costs of sales for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007

years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $2.9 million and
approximately $922,000, respectively. The costs of sales for the
importing and exporting business segment continued to steadily increase as
revenues increased and were approximately $12.2 million in 2008 versus
approximately $11.2 million in 2007.
Operating
expenses decreased by $3,874,816:
For the
year ended September 30, 2008, we incurred operating expenses of $3,971,996 as
compared to $7,846,812 for the year ended September 30, 2007. Stock-based
compensation expense decreased $1,816,675 for the years ended September 30, 2008
versus September 30, 2007 due to a decrease in its 2008 issuances of stock to
consultants and employees versus 2007, when much of the Company’s stock based
compensation was incurred. Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased from approximately $2.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2007
to approximately $923,000 for the year ended September 30, 2008. The
Company cut costs aggressively during the year ended September 30, 2008 and was
able to take advantage of a contracted labor pool which was much less expensive
than the Company's previous employee base. The Company recorded an
impairment loss on the value of its copyrights during the years ended September
30, 2008 and 2007 of $0 and 1.3 million, respectively.
Other
income decreased by $62,984:
Other
income was $494 for year ended September 30, 2008 compared to $63,478 for the
year ended September 30, 2007. For the year ended September 30, 2007 the Company
had a significant gain on the disposal of motor vehicles. For the
year ended September 30, 2008, the Company had a lower cash balances throughout

Net
income (loss) increased by $8,770,402:
The
Company generated net income of $3,780,415 for the year ended September 30, 2008
as compared to a loss of $4,989,997 for the year ended September 30, 2007 as a
result of the successful decrease in operating costs and also the substantial
growth of the online membership services and investments in entertainment arts
business segments.
Corporate
tax
The
Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 requires
the recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax basis
and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provisions for
income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes.
In July
2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a return. FIN 48
provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure
of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties.
FIN 48 became effective as of January 1, 2007 and had no impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
The
charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items,
which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet
date.
Deferred
tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of
temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of
assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax
basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred
tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and
deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that
taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences
can be utilized.
Deferred
tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when
the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or
credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or
charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in
equity.
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are offset when they related to income taxes levied
by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax
assets and liabilities on a net basis.
United
States of America
Since the
Company had no operations within the United States, there is no provision for
United States taxes and there are no deferred tax amounts as of September 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively.
Delaware
The
Company is incorporated in Delaware but does not conduct business in Delaware.
Therefore, the Company is not subject to state corporate income tax.
However, the Company does have to pay Franchise Tax to the Delaware Department
of State. Regardless of where the Company conducts business, it must file
an Annual Franchise Tax Report and pay Franchise Tax for the privilege of
incorporating in Delaware. The minimum Franchise Tax is $35 with a maximum of
$165,000. The Company has not filed its Franchise Tax Return for 2008 or 2007 as
of the date hereof, but anticipates its Franchise Tax owed to Delaware will be
approximately $500 for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
British
Virgin Islands
3G
Dynasty and Subaye IIP are incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and, under
the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, are not subject to income
taxes.
Hong
Kong
MyStarU
Ltd. and Media Group International Ltd. are incorporated in Hong Kong and are
subject to Hong Kong taxation on its activities conducted in Hong Kong and
income arising in or derived from Hong Kong. No provision for Hong Kong profits
tax has been made as these subsidiaries incurred losses during the years ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The applicable Hong Kong statutory
tax rate for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is 17.5%.
People’s
Republic of China
The
Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China
concerning Foreign Investment Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises and various
local income tax laws (“the Income Tax Laws”). Under the Income Tax Laws,
foreign investment enterprises (“FIE”) are generally subject to an income tax at
an effective rate of 25% on income as reported in their statutory financial
statements after appropriate tax adjustments unless the enterprise is located in
specially designated regions of cities for which more favorable effective tax
rates apply. Upon approval by the PRC tax authorities, FIEs scheduled to operate
for a period of 10 years or more and that are engaged in manufacturing and
production may be exempt from income taxes for two years, commencing with their
first profitable year of operations, after taking into account any losses
brought forward from prior years, and thereafter with a 50% exemption for the
next three years.
No
provision for Enterprise income tax in the PRC had been made for the years ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007 due to the fact that the Company is exempt from PRC
tax based on the statutory provisions granting a tax holiday for a two year
period, as stated above, for the years ended September 30, 2008 and
2007.
On
January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law replaced the prior
laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DES”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises
(“FIEs”).The key changes in the new law are:
|
a.
|
The
new standard EIT rate of 25% replaced the 33% rate that had been
applicable to both DES and FIEs, except for High Tech companies who pay a
reduced rate of 15%. The Company believes it qualifies as a “High Tech
Company.”
|
|
b.
|
Companies
established before March 16, 2007 will continue to enjoy tax holiday
treatment approved by local government for a grace period of five years or
until the tax holiday term is completed, whichever is
sooner.
|
The
Company and its subsidiaries were all established before March 16, 2007 and are
therefore is qualified to continue enjoying the reduced tax rate as described
above through the year ended September 30, 2010.
The
following table reconciles the statutory rates to the Company’s effective tax
rate for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:

Value Added
Tax
Enterprises
or individuals who sell products, engage in repair and maintenance, or import
and export goods in the PRC are subject to a value added tax in accordance with
Chinese laws. The value added tax rate applicable to the Company is 6% of the
gross sales price. No credit is available for VAT paid on the
purchases.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
believe that our currently-available working capital, after receiving the
aggregate proceeds of our capital raising activities in the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2008 and collection of our accounts receivable, should be adequate
to sustain our operations at least through the end of fiscal year
2009.
As of
September 30, 2008, we had a cash balance of $302,632, consisting of money held
in PRC and Hong Kong banks and cash in hand. We currently have no cash positions
in the United States of America. We have been funding our operations through
receipts from customers and equity-based financing such as the sale of our
common stock.
Management
has invested substantial time evaluating and considering numerous proposals for
possible investments, acquisitions or business combinations, either sought out
by management or presented to management by investment professionals, the
Company’s advisers and others. We continue to consider acquisitions, business
combinations, or start up proposals, which could be advantageous to our
shareholders. No assurance can be given that any such project, acquisition or
combination will be concluded, or that all these actions will be approved by our
Board of Directors.
Net
cash provided by operations for the year ended September 30, 2008 was
$2,768,702. In the future, we may use cash in our operations due to the
continuing implementation of our business model and increased expenses from
costs associated with being a public company.
Net cash
used in investing activities for the year ended September 30, 2008 was
$5,700,132. The Company invested $5,269,231 in computer equipment and computer
software for the online membership services business segment in
2008.
Net cash
provided by financing activities for the year ended September 30, 2008 was
$2,043,434. It represented the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of the
Company's common stock for $600,000. Additionally, for $400,000, the
Company's subsidiary, Subaye.com, issued 100,000 shares of Subaye.com common
stock and warrants to purchase an additional 500,000 shares of Subaye.com common
stock at $4.00 per share, expiring on July 7, 2013.
Our
future growth is dependent on our ability to raise capital for expansion, and to
seek additional revenue sources. If we decide to pursue any acquisition
opportunities or other expansion opportunities, we may need to raise additional
capital, although there can be no assurances that such capital-raising
activities would be successful.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
no off-balance sheet arrangements that will have a current or future effect on
our financial condition and changes in financial condition in 2008 or
2009.
Protection
of Intellectual Property
The
Company currently holds approximately $13,000,000 in copyrights covering
programming rights for movies, internet broadcasts, DVDs and television
programming. We cannot guarantee that if a competitor or anyone else were to
commence litigation against us, we would be able to adequately defend our
position and retain ownership and value in the intellectual
property.
Capital
Requirements
In 2008
and 2007, the Company raised significant sources of financing by issuing equity
securities, namely the Company’s common stock. We may not be able to continue to
find adequate sources of financing. Certain business segments in which we have
committed to expanding operations, namely the “Investments in Entertainment
Arts” business segment, involve very significant capital
requirements.
Impact
of Inflation
We
believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations during the
years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively We believe that we can
offset inflationary increases in the cost of sales by increasing sales and
improving operating efficiencies.
Trends,
Events, and Uncertainties
The
present demand for our products will be dependent on, among other things, market
acceptance of the Company’s concept, the quality of its products, and general
economic conditions which are cyclical in nature. The Company’s business
operations may be adversely affected by increased competition and prolonged
recessionary periods in the PRC.
Dividends
We do not
expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. As a result, you
could lose your entire investment in the Company.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
MyStarU.com,
Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MyStarU.com, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and
cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audit includes consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstance, but not for expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
