As a result, we are now, through the Target Company, engaged in broadcasting news, videos, television shows, tourists’ programs and other entertainment programs through internet. Our broadcasting programs can be played via smart TVs, our applications on Android-based mobile phones or tablets, computers, and satellite TVs. The Target Company plans to develop its application for IOS-based mobile phones in the future. In addition, we produce certain original news programs, travel programs and other entertainment shows.

 

As of the date of this current report, the Target has developed an Over-The-Top (“OTT”) platform that distributes streaming media as a standalone product directly to viewers over the Internet, bypassing telecommunications, multichannel television, and broadcast television platforms that traditionally act as a controller or distributor of such content. The Target Company has built the technology to distribute media programs on smart TVs, computers, Android smart phones via its App (collectively, the “End Devices”) and through multiple social media channels, such as Weibo, Facebook and YouTube.

 

As of the date of this report, the Target Company has not generated any revenues. The Target has an audience of approximately three and half million (3,500,000) viewers that either follow its social media channels or watch its media programs on End Devices. The Target is at the stage of expanding its viewer base and intends to generate revenue and profits from subscription fees, advertisements and organizing and planning campaigns. However, there can be no assurance that the Target or the Company will have revenue or reach profitability as expected or at all.

 

Our mission is to present real life and up-to-date developments in China to the global Chinese communities outside mainland China with the least possible political interference. Our slogan is “Every Chinese Speaking Person is Watching China VTV.”

 

Our executive offices are located at New Times Centre, 393 Jaffe Road, Suite 17A, Wan Chai, Hong Kong and our telephone number at such address is +85267353339.

 

Corporate History and Structure

 

We were incorporated as T-Bamm on February 19, 2015 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On February 9, 2018, we changed our name to China VTV Limited and planned to switch from the clothing retail store business to the internet media and news content business. Prior to the Share Exchange, we were a development stage company with limited operations and no revenue or profit.

 

As a result of the consummation of the Share Exchange on May 6, 2019 as discussed above, the Target Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the business of the Target Company became the business of the Company.

 

The Target Company was incorporated on January 9, 2015 under the laws of the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong. The authorized capital stock of the Target is 1,000,000 shares, all of which were issued and outstanding prior to the closing of the Share Exchange. The Target Company did not update the shareholder registration of the Target when the investors or new shareholders invested in the Target. The Share Exchange Agreement was signed and agreed by all of the shareholders or beneficial owners of the Target.

 

The diagram below illustrates our corporate structure following the Share Exchange.

A number of shareholders of the Target formed China VTV Corp., Ltd. under the laws of PRC to operate in mainland China, which has ceased its operations in April 2017. We do not believe there is any potential for a conflict of interest with the company in mainland China because it has ceased all operations.

Business Strategy

 

The Target’s business is based on the OTT platform and internet and develops through various popular social media accounts or channels to distribute both live programs and recorded programs to certain Chinese communities outside mainland China. The Target Company intends to produce customized live programs and commercials for enterprises, non-profit and non-government organizations and municipalities and distribute such contents through its media channels. In addition, the Target plans to solicit subscription fees from viewers of its IP TV programs and produce advertisement revenues in the near future.

 

As of the date of this report, the Target has attracted approximately three million and five hundred thousand (3,500,000) viewers or subscribers to its programs, most of whom reside in the Chinese speaking communities of East Asia, excluding mainland China. The Target aims to expand its viewer base to other countries, with a focus on Asia, Europe and North America.

 

Principal Products

 

We are at the early stage of our business development. As of this current report, the Target Company has established a functioning OTT platform which distributes news, videos, television shows, travel programs and other entertainment programs via internet to the End Devices, such as computers, smart TVs, Android-based smart phones and tablets.

 

The Target has engaged Xin Mei Culture Distribution Co., Ltd. (“Xin Mei Technology”) to develop the cloud technology and internet services which are integral to the establishment and maintenance of the OTT platform. On December 22, 2016, the Target and Xin Mei Technology entered into the OTT development and maintenance agreement (the “OTT Development Agreement”) pursuant to which Xin Mei Technology provided the information technology to build and update a customized OTT platform for the Target, through which the Target may distribute its programs and shows to the audiences’ End Devices. The term of the OTT Development Agreement was five years. The total consideration of the OTT Development Agreement was an aggregate of thirty million (RMB 30,000,000) Chinese dollars (equivalent to $4,474,673 U.S. dollars), which was payable over the five-year period in the combination of cash and the Target’s stock. As of December 31, 2018, the Target paid an aggregate of approximately RMB 14 million, equivalent to approximately $2.087 million U.S. dollars, in cash and intends to pay the remaining balance in the common stock of the Company to Xin Mei Technology. The foregoing description of the OTT Development Agreement is not purported to be complete, a copy of the summary translation of which is attached herein as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated by reference.

 

The OTT platform consists of the IOS app, the Android app, online updates, online video and audio services, channel services and multi-media functions. The fully-integrated OTT system digitalizes the traditional film-based videos and distributes the digital contents over the internet to various End Devices. Recently, the Target and its technology partners together developed the live-streaming function of the OTT platform where the Target can distribute live programs digitally. As of the date of this report, the Target had broadcast a great many live programs, such as Boao Forum for Asia (an established political forum in Asia) and Xiang Fei Jia Dao (a travel program). The Target has reached more than 1 million viewers who watched its live programs. The OTT platform can distribute, upload and broadcast contents constantly (24-7) on multiple social media channels and websites on smart TVs and smart phones.

 

The Target’s representative original programs include, without limitation, China Symbol, China Temperature, V Spring Festival Party, Global Good Voice (Los Angeles), Confucianism Ceremony, various talk shows, and Qing Tan Guo Xue Ge Feng Ya (a series TV show focused on traditional Chinese culture). In addition, the Target has the exclusive online broadcasting right to a number of Chinese TV shows in various regions.

Planned Business Model

 

We together with the Target Company plan to generate revenues primarily from the following sources: 1) IP TV subscription fees, 2) campaign planning and public relationship services, and 3) online and offline advertisements.

 

IP TV fees

 

In March 2019, the Target’s OTT platform developed the capacity and infrastructure to process TV programs from approximately 200 TV channels all over the world and distribute such programs on its OTT platform to subscribers for fees. The Target plans to grow its subscriber base organically leveraging its existing social media audiences. The management of the Target believes the subscription fees will become one of the most material sources of income for the Target.

 

In addition, the Target reached out to its contacts in the hospitality industry in some of the sixty-five countries that are collectively referred to as “The Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21 st Century Maritime Silk Road” countries which mainland China is trying to establish or expand the business coordination. Some examples of the sixty-five Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21 st Century Maritime Silk Road countries include, Russia, Mongolia, Singapore, Malaysia, Turkey, Iran, Israel, India and Kazakhstan. The Target plans to provide internet TV services to hotels and families located in those sixty-five countries as the Target expands its media coverage. Furthermore, the Target may explore the possibilities to coordinate with certain internet content providers for hotels in mainland China in the future.

 

The Target and the Company plan to reach the goal of one million subscribers of its IP TV programs in the next three years, although there is no assurance that neither of the Company nor the Target may reach such goal. The contents published on the Target’s social media accounts and website shall remain free to the public in the foreseeable future.

 

Campaign and Public Relation Planning

 

The Target may plan and organize public events for enterprises and celebrities offline to help those customers maintain positive public relationships and promote their visibility. The Target plans to provide customized advertising campaigns for cities, towns and enterprises. The Target’s services shall include drafting and editing press releases, public image promotion and public relation crisis management, event and conference planning for commercial products, news and academic discoveries. In addition, the Target intends to design and produce live programs for companies, cities, and towns which desire to promote their tourism resources outside mainland China. The Target may distribute the live campaign programs through its internet media channels, IP TV channels and the LED billboards to be constructed by the Target.

 

Online and Offline Advertising

 

The Target plans to offer advertising products, primarily consisting of banner, button, text-link and video advertisements that appear on the Target’s web pages, social media accounts, and advertising campaign design and management services. The targeted advertising and sponsorship clientele for advertising and sponsorships will include local enterprises, municipalities with focuses on tourism and celebrities. The Target intends to offer brand promotion services in display formats on the website as well as performance-based online marketing solutions, such as promoted feeds on mobile or tablet. The Target highlights the interactive feature of its online advertisement services. For example, the Target may invite a celebrity (or celebrities) to use the product being promoted, record and broadcast the celebrity’s (or celebrities’) user experiences and host an interactive online forum where celebrities, existing product users and potential users can discuss and review the subject product in real time.

 

With respect to offline advertisement, the Target intends to build a few LED billboards in major cities to display its original programs and promotional videos. The Target plans to charge advertisement fees for the LED board display.

 

The business models set forth above are being tested by the Target as of the date of this current report and we cannot guarantee any or all of the plans will be executed as intended or generate any or sufficient revenues as expected.

Market Opportunities

 

The Target currently focuses on the Asian markets outside mainland China where sizable Chinese speaking communities have established or are expanding rapidly, such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia. Due to the media nature of the Target, we and the Target take into consideration the population of the regions and countries where the Target distributes its programs or targets the audiences. The Target and we believe that it is more likely that the Target may attract more subscribers and viewers from a region with large population than a region with relatively smaller population. The Worldometers, a website displaying demographic data, showed that the population in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia was approximately 7,478,025, 23,745,346, 5,852,467, and 32,369,960, respectively, as of April 2019.

 

In the future, the Target plans to grow its media distribution network to the Chinese speaking communities in other Asian countries, Europe and the Americas.

 

Audiences

 

As of April 2019, the Target had approximately 3,500,000 users or viewers that either subscribed to the Target’s various social media channels or watched the programs distributed by the Target from time to time. The following chart breaks down the estimated numbers of viewers on various social media channels and websites.

In addition, the Target had more than one million (1,000,000) users who watched its programs on the internet via smart TVs, computers, smart phones and tablets, as of April 2019. The same viewers could follow multiple Target’s official social media accounts and watch its programs on the internet at the same time. Therefore, we may have counted multiple times of the same viewer in the chart above.

 

Targeted Customers

 

As disclosed in the “Planned Business Model” section, the targeted customers include IP TV subscribers outside mainland China, local enterprises, municipalities, and celebrities in various regions and countries, including mainland China.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We and the Target Company rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our technology and brand names. Monitoring unauthorized use of our products and brands is difficult and costly, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our technology and brand names, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. From time to time, we may have to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources.

 

In addition, third parties may initiate litigation against us alleging infringement of their proprietary rights. In the event of a successful claim of infringement and our failure or inability to develop non-infringing technology or license the infringed or similar technology on a timely basis, our business could be harmed. In addition, even if we are able to license the infringed or similar technology, license fees could be substantial and may adversely affect our results of operations. See also our discussion of protection of our intellectual property under the “Risk Factors.”

The domain name of “chinavtv.hk” is registered under VTV Internet Technology (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd., which has agreed to transfer such domain name to the Target. The Target intends to renew and maintain the registered domain names as the expiration dates approach.

 

Trademarks

 

The Target started using the mark or logo as referenced below since February 2015 in various jurisdictions, such as mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the U.S., France, Japan and Malaysia.

 

On November 15, 2017, the Target and China VTV Taiwan Co., Ltd. (“China VTV Taiwan”) entered into a strategic partnership agreement, pursuant to which the two parties agreed to work together to promote the visibility of China VTV. The Target believes that China VTV Taiwan did not perform under such agreement and the agreement was terminated shortly thereafter. However, the Target discovered that China VTV Taiwan submitted a trademark registration of China VTV’s mark consisting of the English letters, Chinese letters and the rainbow, as referenced above under its own name in Taiwan without consent or approval from the Target. Immediately thereafter on December 7, 2018, the Target filed an opposition to China VTV Taiwan’s mark registration in front of Taiwan Intellectual Property Office. As of the date of this report, the Target was vigorously pursuing the dispute proceeding in Taiwan against China VTV Taiwan.

In addition, the Target created a new logo to substitute the mark at dispute in Taiwan. The major difference between the new mark and the mark at dispute is that the new mark has the English letter “C” before the letters “VTV” which are located right above the rainbow. The Target currently uses this new mark, a copy of which is referenced herein below:

 

 

Competition

 

The market for websites offering online content and services targeting the global Chinese community is competitive and we expect competition to increase in the future. Many companies attempting to compete in this market offer portal, content and e-commerce services. The following table lists the Chinese-language websites that we believe are currently our primary competitors:

 

 

·

ETtoday (Dong Sen) Taiwan

 

·

Duo Yuan Media

 

·

World Journal

 

·

Zhongtian Media

 

·

Zhongshi Media

 

·

Great Wall TV

 

As internet becomes part of people’s modern life, the online viewer community has grown rapidly, including the Chinese communities outside mainland China. The Target Company understands the opportunities it faces as an international internet-based media company. At the same time, the Target Company encounters challenges and competition from large and emerging competitors, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, Twitter, Line, Kakao and WhatsApp, which may have more resources than the Target Company does. We cannot assure you that we and the Target will succeed in competing against the established or emerging competitors in the market. The increased competition in the Chinese international media sector could result in reduced traffic, loss of market share and revenues, and lower profit margins.

 

Our ability to compete successfully depends on many factors, including the quality of our content, the breadth, depth and ease of use of our services, our sales and marketing efforts and the performance of our technology. See also our discussion of competition under the “Risk Factors.”

 

Competitive Strength

 

The Target provides online content and services for the global Chinese community, including but not limited to informational features, social media and social networking services as well as other fee-based services. This industry can be characterized as highly competitive and rapidly changing due to the fast growing market demand and change of trends. Barrier to entry is relatively low, and current and new competitors can launch new websites or services at a relatively low cost. Many companies offer various content and services targeting this community that compete with us. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources, longer history of online services, larger and more active user bases, more established brand names and greater breadth of programs than what the Target currently offers. However, we and the Target believe that we and the Target possess the following competitive strengths that enable us to compete effectively:

Table of Contents

 

 

·

An experienced executive team and influential directors in the media and other related industries. Mr. Tijin Song has over thirty years of experience in media and promotion business and held a leadership position of China Commission of Promotion of Publicity for the Undertakings of Chinese Disabled Persons for more than ten years. In addition, other key management members, including the chief editor, chief branding officer, and chief strategy officer, have substantive experience and influence in the media industry in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

 

 

·

Cloud-based media operations and interaction with subscribers and viewers. The Target has multiple social media official accounts where the readers and viewers may watch the Target’s programs and interact with each other. The Target currently owns the database of its content which is recorded in the cloud disks stored in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

 

 

·

High quality of the programs, including real-time news and live broadcasting with 24-hour services.

 

 

·

Large and growing user base. The Target had approximately 3.5 million viewers and subscribers as of April 2019 which we believe, will further expand. We and the Target think the broad viewer base will attract the targeted customers in the future, such as local enterprises and municipalities.

 

 

·

Less regulations as a Hong Kong media company. Mainland China implements strict control and regulations over the media industry, most of which are not applicable to the Target because the Target was formed under the laws of the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong.

 

 

·

Active participation in renowned events, such as Boao Forum for Asia, World Internet Conferences (also known as Wuzhen Summit), and Cross-Strait Peace Talks.

 

Technology Infrastructure

 

The Target has outsourced the OTT platform updates and maintenance to Xin Mei Technology pursuant to the OTT Development Agreement. The Target currently uses three established information technology companies, Baidu, Tencent and Amazon, to provide the cloud service for distribution of its contents and programs from the OTT platform to the End Devices. The Target may need to upgrade the cloud service in the future in response to the demand of more data processing power due to the increase in the number of viewers. The Target maintains its cloud disks in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

The Target enhances its brand images and visibility through participating in various public events, exchanging audience resources with other media companies, and establishing partnerships with other media companies. The Target plans to invest additional time and capital to the popular social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, to increase its visibility and public awareness.

 

Research and Development

 

The Target Company has eight employees in the technology development team and incurred approximately $861,999 and $433,437 of research and development expenses in the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Target Company has H.265 video data de-compression technology, which provides viewers higher image quality at the same internet speed than some other internet content distribution platforms. We believe that the H.265 de-compression technology would enhance the picture quality in certain Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21 st Century Maritime Silk Road countries where the internet infrastructure is still developing and the internet speed is relatively low.

 

Employees

 

As of the date of this report, we and the Target had 20 employees, all of whom are full-time and are based in Hong Kong and mainland China. The breakdown of our employees based on departments is set forth below:

Regulat ory Overview

 

Regulatory Authorities

 

Compared to the restrictions and regulations over media companies in mainland China, the Target is subject to relatively less stringent rules and regulations in Hong Kong. The Target registered its business scope as news broadcasting, TV program production, new media investment, advertisements, and internet technology development. The Target does not need any special permit or license to engage in internet media business, including news or TV program production and distribution over the internet. The Target believes that its business is currently not subject to the oversight of Hong Kong Broadcasting Authority because it does not engage in traditional broadcasting via radio waves or cable television.

 

Rating of Internet Content

 

Hong Kong has adopted its version of the television content rating system which regulates the suitability of television programs for children, teenagers, or adults. The Hong Kong television rating system is provided by generic code of television programs standard of the Broadcasting Ordinance (Chapter 562) on December 11, 1995. The Target, as an internet content provider and distributor, needs to comply with the rating system and restrict children, teenagers and young adults from viewing television programs outside the appropriate ratings.

 

News Regulation

 

As a news producer, the Target is subject to regulations on contents of news. The Target is prohibited from creating or distributing certain news including but not limited to the following:

 

 

·

News that damages people’s reputation

 

 

·

News that invades people’s privacy

 

 

·

News that involves information on national defense

 

 

·

News that might influence judicial proceedings

 

Depending on the circumstances, in the event of violation of any of the foregoing restrictions, the Target may be exposed to the possibility of fines or criminal liabilities. In addition, we need to comply with requirements on news regarding election, public polls and pharmaceutical companies.

 

Advertisement

 

In Hong Kong, companies are prohibited from using false or misleading advertising language and advertising agencies cannot help its clients design or create untrue or misleading advertisements. Otherwise, the agencies may be subject to the same liabilities as their clients.

 

In addition, a company may contravene the Personal Data Ordinance if it collects information on its users, analyzes the information for a profile of the user's interests and sells or transmits the profiles to third parties for direct marketing purposes without the user’s consent. As part of the Target’s future advertisement delivery system. The Target’s website and social media platform may collect information, including a user’s online response, rate to advertisements, name, address, age or e-mail address with third party databases to generate a comprehensive demographic profile of the Internet user. The transfer of this information, which provides an individual’s profile, may violate the Personal Data Ordinance unless the individual expressly consents to the use of this information.

This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), its legislative history, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These authorities are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis.

 

This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to any particular holder based on such holder’s individual circumstances. In particular, this discussion considers only holders that acquires our common stock pursuant to the Share Exchange and own and hold our common stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, and does not address the potential application of the alternative minimum tax or the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders that are subject to special rules, including:

 

 

·

financial institutions or financial services entities;

 

 

·

broker-dealers;

 

 

·

persons that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules under Section 475 of the Code;

 

 

·

tax-exempt entities;

 

 

·

governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

 

 

·

insurance companies;

 

 

·

regulated investment companies;

 

 

·

real estate investment trusts;

·

certain expatriates or former long term residents of the United States;

 

 

·

persons that actually or constructively own 5% or more of our voting shares (including as a result of ownership of our common stock);

 

 

·

persons that acquired our common stock pursuant to an exercise of employee options, in connection with employee incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

 

 

·

persons that hold our common stock as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated transaction;

 

 

·

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

 

 

·

passive foreign investment companies; or

 

 

·

controlled foreign corporations.

 

This discussion does not address any aspect of U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift or estate tax laws, or state, local or non-U.S. tax laws or, except as discussed herein, any tax reporting obligations applicable to a holder of our common stock. Additionally, this discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold the common stock through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. This discussion also assumes that any distribution made (or deemed made) to a holder in respect of our common stock and any consideration received (or deemed received) by a holder in connection with the sale or other disposition of our common stock will be in U.S. dollars.

 

We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, (the “IRS”), or an opinion of counsel as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the description herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.

 

EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IN OUR COMMON STOCK IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH INVESTOR OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS, AS WELL AS U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS AND ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.

 

U.S. Holders

 

Taxation of Cash Distributions Paid on Our Common Stock

 

Subject to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income as ordinary income the amount of any cash dividend paid on our common stock. A cash distribution on our common stock generally will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent the distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Such dividend generally will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations. The portion of such cash distribution, if any, in excess of such earnings and profits, will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock. Any remaining excess generally will be treated as gain from the sale or other taxable disposition of such common stock.

 

With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, any such cash dividends may be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the lower applicable regular long term capital gains tax rate (see “—Taxation on the Disposition of Our Common Stock” below) provided that (a) the securities are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or, in the event we are deemed to be a PRC “resident enterprise” under the EIT Law, we are eligible for the benefits of the Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the People’s Republic of China for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Tax Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income (the “U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty”), (b) we are not a PFIC, as discussed below, for either the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (c) certain holding period requirements are met.

Table of Contents

 

If a PRC income tax applies to any cash dividends paid to a U.S. Holder on our common stock, such tax may be treated as a foreign tax eligible for a deduction from such holder’s U.S. federal taxable income or a foreign tax credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to applicable conditions and limitations). In addition, if such PRC tax applies to any such dividends, such U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty, if such holder is considered a resident of the United States for purposes of, and otherwise meets the requirements of, the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the deduction or credit for any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty.

 

Taxation on the Disposition of Our Common Stock

 

Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock, and subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock.

 

The regular U.S. federal income tax rate on capital gains recognized by U.S. Holders generally is the same as the regular U.S. federal income tax rate on ordinary income, except that long term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders generally are subject to U.S. federal income tax at a maximum regular rate of 20%. Capital gain or loss will constitute long term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for our common stock exceeds one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to various limitations.

 

If a PRC income tax applies to any gain from the disposition of our common stock by a U.S. Holder, such tax may be treated as a foreign tax eligible for a deduction from such holder’s U.S. federal taxable income or a foreign tax credit against such holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (subject to applicable conditions and limitations). In addition, if such PRC tax applies to any such gain, such U.S. Holder may be entitled to certain benefits under the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty, if such holder is considered a resident of the United States for purposes of, and otherwise meets the requirements of, the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the deduction or credit for any such PRC tax and their eligibility for the benefits of the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty.

 

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

 

A foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation will be a PFIC if either (a) at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year of the foreign corporation, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income, or (b) at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year of the foreign corporation, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than certain rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business), and gains from the disposition of passive assets.

 

If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of our common stock, and the U.S. Holder did not make a timely QEF election for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) our common stock, a QEF election along with a purging election, or a mark-to-market election, each as described below, such holder generally will be subject to special rules for regular U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to:

 

 

·

any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of our common stock; and

 

 

·

any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of our common stock during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for our common stock).

 

 
14
 
Table of Contents

 

Under these rules,

 

 

·

the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for our common stock;

 

 

·

the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of our first taxable year in which we qualified as a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income;

 

 

·

the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and

 

 

·

the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder.

 

We have not made a determination as to whether we would be classified as a “passive foreign investment company,” or PFIC, for our preceding taxable year nor can we assure you that we will not be a PFIC for our current taxable year or any future taxable year. We do not expect ourselves to be classified as a “passive foreign investment company” for our current taxable year.

 

In general, if we are determined to be a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above with respect to our common stock by making a timely QEF election (or a QEF election along with a purging election). Pursuant to the QEF election, a U.S. Holder will be required to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as long term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends if we are treated as a PFIC for that taxable year. A U.S. Holder may make a separate election to defer the payment of taxes on undistributed income inclusions under the QEF rules, but if deferred, any such taxes will be subject to an interest charge.

 

The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder generally makes a QEF election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund), including the information provided in a PFIC annual information statement, to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year to which the election relates. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of the IRS.

 

The rules dealing with PFICs and with the QEF and mark-to-market elections are very complex and may be affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, U.S. Holders of our common stock should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules to our common stock under their particular circumstances.

 

Non-U.S. Holders

 

Cash dividends paid or deemed paid to a Non-U.S. Holder with respect to our common stock generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless such dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains or maintained in the United States).

 

In addition, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain attributable to a sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless such gain is effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such holder maintains or maintained in the United States) or the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of such sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met (in which case, such gain from U.S. sources generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate).

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

 

In general, information reporting for U.S. federal income tax purposes should apply to cash distributions made on our common stock within the United States to a U.S. Holder (other than an exempt recipient) and to the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of our common stock by a U.S. Holder (other than an exempt recipient) to or through a U.S. office of a broker. Payments made (and sales and other dispositions effected at an office) outside the United States will be subject to information reporting in limited circumstances. In addition, certain information concerning a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock and adjustments to that tax basis and whether any gain or loss with respect to such common stock is long-term or short-term also may be required to be reported to the IRS, and certain holders may be required to file an IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) to report their interest in our common stock.

 

Moreover, backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax, at a current rate of 24%, generally will apply to cash dividends paid on our common stock to a U.S. Holder (other than an exempt recipient) and the proceeds from sales and other dispositions of our common stock by a U.S. Holder (other than an exempt recipient), in each case who:

 

 

·

fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number;

 

 

·

is notified by the IRS that backup withholding is required; or

 

 

·

in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements.

 

A Non-U.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s or a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding and the availability of and procedures for obtaining an exemption from backup withholding in their particular circumstances.

 

THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. IT IS NOT TAX ADVICE. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGES IN APPLICABLE LAWS.

 

Enforceability of Civil Liabilities

 

The Target is incorporated in Hong Kong, and most of our directors and executive officers reside in Hong Kong and mainland China. Substantially, all of our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, you may not be able to:

 

 

· effect service of process upon the management or these persons within the United States; or

 

 

 

 

· enforce against the Target or these executive officers and directors in United States courts, judgments obtained in United States courts including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or of the securities laws of any state of the United States.

Table of Contents

 

The Target and the Company have doubt as to whether Hong Kong or PRC courts will enforce judgments in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts, based only upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state of the United States.

 

In addition, as PRC does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts within the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan or most other members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, administrative actions brought by regulatory authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other actions, which result in foreign court judgments (assuming such actions are not required by PRC laws or the Company’s articles of incorporation to be arbitrated and that such judgments or rulings do not violate the basic principles of the laws of PRC or the sovereignty, security and public interest of the society of PRC, as determined by a People’s Court of China that has jurisdiction for recognition and enforcement of judgments).

  

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in the Company’s common stock involves a high degree of risk. In determining whether to purchase the Company’s common stock, an investor should carefully consider all of the material risks described below, together with the other information contained in this report before making a decision to purchase the Company’s securities. An investor should only purchase the Company’s securities if he or she can afford to suffer the loss of his or her entire investment.

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry

 

We are subject to the risks associated with operating in an evolving market.

 

As a company operating in the rapidly evolving online and digital communications market, we face numerous risks and uncertainties. Some of these risks relate to our ability to:

 

·

continue to attract users to watch our programs and use our website and mobile applications as the primary means of obtaining news information;

 

·

continue to attract a larger audience to our matrices of Chinese-language content and services by expanding the type and technical sophistication of the content and services we offer;

 

·

develop a sufficiently large customer base for our advertising and marketing services;

 

·

generate revenues derived from our IP TV subscription fees, campaign and public relation planning, advertising and marketing businesses;

 

·

attract and retain qualified personnel; and

 

·

effectively control our increased costs and expenses as we expand our businesses.

 

We will rely on IP TV subscriptions as a significant portion of our revenues, but the online TV business is highly competitive and we may not generate any revenues from the subscription or the revenues as expected.

 

As we promote our IP TV subscription programs, we expect substantial income from the IP TV subscription fees. However, there are numerous internet TV program providers that have launched their respective IP TV subscription programs, such as Insight IPTV, Roku, Netflix, and Direct TV. In addition, there are a few IP TV companies that provide channels from mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, such as Kylin TV. Although we provide programs primarily in the language of Chinese and the popular IP TV providers in the United States supply TV programs and TV channels in English, we may not be able to distinguish ourselves from the existing IP TV providers regardless of the language of the programs and therefore to generate the revenues from subscription fees as expected or at all.

We will rely on advertising as a significant portion of our revenues, but the online advertising industry is subject to many uncertainties, which may prevent us from generating revenues from advertisement.

 

The online advertising industry is rapidly evolving in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and other Asian countries outside mainland China. Many of our current and potential advertisers have limited experience with the internet as an advertising and marketing medium, have not traditionally devoted a significant portion of their advertising and marketing expenditures or other available funds to web-based advertising and marketing, and may not find the internet to be effective for promoting their products and services relative to traditional print and broadcast media. We may not be successful in attracting new advertisers, convincing our current and potential advertisers to increase their budgets for online advertising and marketing or securing a significant share of those budgets. If the internet does not become more widely accepted as a medium for advertising and marketing, our ability to generate revenues from online advertisement could be negatively affected. Our ability to generate significant advertising and marketing revenues will depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including but not limited to:

 

·

the development and retention of a large base of users possessing demographic characteristics attractive to advertisers;

 

·

the maintenance and enhancement of our awareness as a media company;

 

·

increased competition and potential downward pressure on online advertising and marketing prices and limitations on web page space;

 

·

changes in government policy that curtail or restrict our online advertising and marketing services or content offerings or increase our costs associated with policy compliance;

 

·

the acceptance of online advertising and marketing as an effective way for advertisers to market their businesses and products;

 

·

advertisers’ preferences for new online advertising and marketing formats, products or business models offered by other competitors and our ability to provide similar or competing new formats, products and solutions;

 

·

the development of independent and reliable means of verifying levels of online advertising and traffic; and

 

·

the effectiveness of our advertising delivery, tracking and reporting systems.

 

Our business is highly sensitive to the strength of our brands in the marketplace, and we may not be able to maintain current or attract new users, customers and strategic partners if we do not continue to increase the awareness of our brand name as a media company in the marketplace.

 

Our operational and financial performance is highly dependent on our strong brands in the marketplace. Such dependency will increase further as the number of internet and mobile users as well as the number of market entrants grows. In order to retain existing and attract new viewers, advertisers and strategic partners, we may need to substantially increase our expenditures to create and maintain brand awareness and brand loyalty. However, we cannot guarantee that the increase of our brand visibility will result in increase in revenues and profits. Our financial performance may not improve even though our programs are well received and recognition of our brand names increases.

 

Increases in competition and market prices for professionally produced content may have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Competition for quality online advertising content is intense in Hong Kong and PRC. Our competitors include well-capitalized companies, both private and newly listed companies, many of whom operate on a net-loss basis, as well as well-established companies with greater user traffic than ours. If we are unable to secure a large portfolio of professionally produced quality content due to the prohibitively high costs, or if we are unable to manage our content acquisition costs effectively and generate sufficient revenues to outpace the increase in content spending, our website traffic, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

The expansion of advertisement blocking measures may negatively impact the intended advertising revenues.

 

The development of software and mobile applications that block advertisements before they appear on a user’s screen may hinder the growth of online and digital advertising. Since advertising revenues may be based on user views, the expansion of advertisement-blocking software and mobile applications may cast shadow over our planned advertising business. As a result, such advertisements will not be tracked as a delivered advertisement. In addition, advertisers may choose not to advertise on our websites or applications because of the expansion of advertisement-blocking measures. In addition, increasing numbers of browsers include technical barriers designed to prevent consumer tracking such as trailing browsing history, which may also adversely impact the growth of online and digital advertising.

If we fail to establish and maintain relationships with content or infrastructure providers, we may not be able to attract and retain users.

 

In addition to reliance upon our reporters, editors and staff, we rely on numerous third parties to provide high-quality news, video, audio and text content to make our websites and mobile applications more attractive to users and advertisers. Our arrangements with content providers are usually short-term and our content providers may increase the fees they charge us for their content. This trend would increase our costs and operating expenses and could adversely affect our ability to obtain content at an economically acceptable cost. Except for the exclusive content, some of the third party content provided to our websites is also available from other sources or may be provided to other internet companies. If other internet companies present the same or similar content in a superior manner, it would adversely affect our user traffic.

 

Our business also depends significantly on relationships with infrastructure providers. We have the OTT Development Agreement with Xin Mei Technology which established and maintained our OTT platform. If our relationship with Xin Mei deteriorates or some of our competitors establishes the same relationships as we have, our business operations and financial results may be adversely affected. We may not be able to maintain the relationships with third party vendors or replace them on commercially attractive terms.

 

Changes in technology may render our current technologies obsolete or require us to obtain licenses for introducing new services or make substantial capital investments, financing for which may not be available to us on favorable commercial terms or at all.

 

The Hong Kong telecommunications industry has been characterized by rapid increases in the diversity and sophistication of the technologies and services offered. As a result, we expect that we will need to constantly upgrade our information technologies and services in order to respond to the competitive industry conditions and customer requirements. Developments of new technologies have rendered some less advanced technologies unpopular or obsolete. If we fail to develop, or obtain timely access to, new technologies, infrastructure and equipment, or if we fail to obtain the necessary licenses to provide our content using these new technologies, we may lose our customers and market share.

 

In addition, the cost of implementing new technologies, upgrading our networks or expanding capacity could be significant. In particular, we have made and will continue to make substantial capital expenditures in the near future in order to effectively respond to technological changes, such as the continued expansion of our servers. To the extent these expenditures exceed our cash resources, we will be required to seek additional debt or equity financing. Our ability to obtain additional financing on favorable commercial terms will depend on a number of factors. These factors include our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the prevailing market conditions in the domestic and international telecommunications industry, the cost of financing and conditions in the financial markets, and the issuance of relevant government and other regulatory approvals. Any inability to obtain funding for our capital expenditures on commercially acceptable terms could jeopardize our expansion plans and materially and adversely affect our business prospects and future results of operations.

 

If new technologies adopted by us do not perform as expected, or if we are unable to effectively integrate new technologies in a commercially viable manner, our revenue growth and profitability may decline.

 

We are constantly evaluating new growth opportunities in the internet media industry. Some of these opportunities involve new digital platform technologies for which there are no proven markets, and may not develop as expected. These new technologies may not perform as expected or generate an acceptable rate of return. In addition, we may not be able to successfully develop new technologies to effectively and economically deliver our advertising or marketing services, or be able to compete successfully in the delivery of our news content based on or through new technologies. Furthermore, the success of our mobile applications is substantially dependent on the mobile applications developed by third-party developers. These applications may not be sufficiently developed to support our content and/or advertising and marketing services. If we are unable to deliver commercially viable services or applications based on the new technologies that we adopt, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Our growth may cause significant pressures upon our operational, administrative and financial resources.

 

Our operational, administrative and financial resources may be inadequate to sustain the growth we want to achieve. As the demands of our users and the needs of our customers change, the number of our users and volume of online advertising increase, requirements for maintaining sufficient servers to provide high-definition online video and mobile activities increase, we will need to increase our investment in our network infrastructure, facilities, personnel and other areas of operations. If we are unable to manage our growth and expansion effectively, the quality of our advertising and marketing services could deteriorate and our business may suffer. Our future success will depend on, among other things, our ability to:

 

·

adapt our services and maintain and improve the quality of our services;

 

·

protect our website from hackers and unauthorized access;

 

·

continue training, motivating and retaining our existing employees and attract and integrate new employees; and

 

·

develop and improve our operational, financial, accounting and other internal systems and controls.

 

Due to the rapidly evolving market of our industry, we cannot predict whether we will meet internal or external expectations of future performance.

 

The internet industry is rapidly evolving and new products, new business models and new players emerge from time to time in a lot of Asian countries and regions where our primary market is located. In addition, regulatory changes can have an unexpected and disruptive impacts on our business.

 

We believe our future success depends on our ability to significantly grow our revenues from the planned business models. However, market data on our business, especially on new products, business models and sales channels, are often limited, unreliable or nonexistent. Accordingly, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in a fast changing market where there are abundant private and public capital to support competing new product developments, new business models and new companies. These risks include our ability to:

 

·

offer new and innovative mobile applications;

 

·

attract and retain viewers, subscribers and advertisers;

 

·

react quickly and effectively to regulatory changes;

 

·

respond effectively to competitive pressures and address the effects of strategic relationships or corporate combinations among our competitors;

 

·

attract customers to our advertising and marketing services;

 

·

maintain our current, and develop new, strategic relationships;

 

·

increase awareness of our brand and continue to build viewer loyalty;

 

·

attract and retain qualified managerial and other talented employees;

 

·

upgrade our technology to support increased traffic and expanded services;

 

·

expand the content and services on our network, produce and secure premium content and increase network bandwidth in a cost-effective manner; and

 

·

develop a sufficiently large customer and user base and monetization models for our advertising and marketing services to recover its development costs, network expenditures and marketing expenses and eventually achieve profitability.

We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual properties, and we may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims or other allegations by third parties for services we provide or for information or content displayed on, retrieved from or linked to our websites, or distributed to our users, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects.

 

We rely on a combination of copyright and trademark laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our intellectual properties. Monitoring unauthorized use of our products is difficult and costly, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our intellectual properties, particularly in countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. From time to time, we may have to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources.

 

Companies in the internet, technology, and media industries are frequently involved in litigation based on allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights, unfair competition, invasion of privacy, defamation and other violations of other parties’ rights. The validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights in internet-related industries are uncertain and still evolving.

 

On December 7, 2018, the Target Company filed an opposition to China VTV Taiwan’s mark registration in front of Taiwan Intellectual Property Office with respect to the mark that the Target has used since February 2015 in a number of Asian countries and regions. We believe that the Target has sufficient merits to receive a favorable decision eventually, which cannot be assured at the time of this report. As of the date of this report, the Target was vigorously pursuing the dispute proceeding in Taiwan against China VTV Taiwan.

 

Pursuing or defending intellectual property litigation can be costly and impose a significant burden on management and employees, and there can be no assurances that favorable final outcomes will be obtained in all cases. Any resulting liability or expenses, or changes required to our websites to reduce the risk of future liability, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects.

 

Privacy concerns may prevent us from selling demographically targeted advertising in the future and make us less attractive to advertisers.

 

We collect personal data from our user base in order to better understand our users and their needs and to help our advertisers target specific demographic groups. If privacy concerns or regulatory restrictions prevent us from selling demographically targeted advertising, we may become less attractive to advertisers. For example, as part of our future advertisement delivery system, we may integrate user information such as advertisement response rate, name, address, age or email address, with third-party databases to generate comprehensive demographic profiles for individual users.

 

We do not have any business liability or disruption insurance coverage for our operations, and nor do we have any director and officer liability insurance. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster may cause us to incur substantial costs and divert our resources.

 

Currency fluctuations and restrictions on currency exchange may adversely affect our business, including limiting our ability to convert HKD into foreign currencies and, if HKD were to decline in value, reducing our revenues and profits in U.S. dollar terms.

 

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar and our operations in Hong Kong uses the Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”) as the functional currencies. The majority of our expenses incurred are in HKD. We are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations with respect to any of these currencies. For example, the value of the HKD depends to a large extent on Hong Kong government policies, relations with PRC, domestic and international economic and political developments as well as supply and demand in the local market.

We depend on select personnel and could be affected by the loss of their services.

 

We depend on the continued service of our directors, executive officers, senior management and other key employees, many of whom are difficult to replace. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees could potentially harm our business operations. Competition for qualified talents in Hong Kong is intense. Our future success is dependent on our ability to attract a significant number of qualified employees and retain existing key employees. If we are unable to do so, our business and growth may be materially and adversely affected. Our need to significantly increase the number of our qualified employees and retain key employees may cause us to materially increase compensation-related costs, including stock-based compensation.

 

You may have difficulty enforcing judgment against us or our directors and officers.

 

We are a Nevada holding company and most of our assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, all of our directors and executive officers are residents of mainland China and Hong Kong, and substantially all of their assets and our assets are located in Hong Kong or mainland China. As a result, investors may not be able to effect service of process upon us or our directors and executive officers, or to enforce against them judgments obtained in courts outside of Hong Kong or mainland China.

 

Any final judgment obtained against us in any court other than the courts of the PRC in connection with any legal suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to our securities will be enforced by the courts of the PRC without further review of the merits only if the court of the PRC in which enforcement is sought is satisfied that:

 

·

the court rendering the judgment has jurisdiction over the subject matter according to the laws of the PRC;

 

·

the judgment and the court procedure resulting in the judgment are not contrary to the public order or good morals of the PRC;

 

·

if the judgment was rendered by default by the court rendering the judgment, we, or the above mentioned persons, were duly served within a reasonable period of time in accordance with the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction of the court or process was served on us with judicial assistance of the PRC; and

 

·

judgments at the courts of the PRC are recognized and enforceable in the court rendering the judgment on a reciprocal basis.

 

Among other things, if you fail to establish the foregoing to the satisfaction of the courts in the PRC, you may not be able to enforce a judgment against us rendered by a court in the United States.

 

Any future outbreak of contagious diseases may materially and adversely affect our business and operations, as well as our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Any future outbreak of contagious diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome or avian influenza, may disrupt our ability to adequately staff our business and may generally disrupt our operations. If any of our employees is suspected of having contracted any contagious disease, we may under certain circumstances be required to quarantine such employees and the affected areas of our premises. As a result, we may have to temporarily suspend part or all of our operations. Furthermore, any future outbreak may restrict the level of economic activities in the affected regions, including Hong Kong and mainland China, which may adversely affect our business and prospects. As a result, we cannot assure you that any future outbreak of contagious diseases would not have a material adverse effect on our financial conditions and results of operations.

 

The Company is a pre-revenue enterprise. If the Company fails to raise additional capital, its ability to implement its business model and strategy could be compromised.

 

The Company has limited capital resources and operations and has not generated any revenue as of December 31, 2018. To date, its operations have been funded primarily from its shareholders and management. From time to time, we may seek additional financing to provide the capital required to expand our sales and for marketing and general working capital. We cannot predict with certainty the timing or amount of any such capital requirements and whether the terms of financing would be commercially reasonable or desirable.

 

If the Company does not raise sufficient capital to fund its ongoing development and operations, it is likely that it will be unable to carry out its business plans. The Company may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable, or at all. Even if the Company obtains financing for near term operations and product development, the Company may require additional capital beyond the near term. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed, its business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected, and it could be forced to reduce or discontinue its operations.

 

Failure to continue having the office in Hong Kong without reasonable notice could interrupt the operations of the Target.

The Target does not have a written lease or understanding of the specific terms for its primary office in Hong Kong, the landlord of which office is a friend of Mr. Tijin Song, one of our directors and shareholders. Although we have a good and friendly relationship with such landlord, we cannot assure that we will continue this accommodation for any specific period of time. Although it is unlikely, it is possible that we may have to move our office out of the current premise with a short notice from the landlord and would have to accept a high rent for the new office space because of the limited time for the new office space search.

Risks Related to the Telecommunications Infrastructure

Our operations and ability to deliver programs or services may be disrupted due to a systematic failure, shutdown in our networks, disruptions from any of our server service providers or natural disasters.

Our cloud disks are maintained in Hong Kong and Taiwan and managed by Baidu, Tencent and Amazon for internet services in different regions. The geographical area near Hong Kong is susceptible to earthquakes and typhoons. However, we do not carry insurance to cover damages caused by earthquakes, typhoons or other natural disasters or any resulting business interruption. Our services are currently carried through our fixed and mobile communications networks, as well as through our transmission networks consisting of optical fiber cable and microwave, which could be vulnerable to damage or interruptions in operations due to natural disasters. The occurrence of natural disasters could impact our ability to deliver services and have a negative effect on our results of operations. In addition, any disruption of business operations of any of our server service providers may adversely affect the distribution of our contents on the OTT platform. Furthermore, we might also be held liable for losses claimed from our customers that were incurred from our failure to deliver our services. These potential liabilities could also have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.  

  

Our network operations may be vulnerable to hacking, viruses and other disruptions, which may make our website and mobile applications less attractive and reliable, and we may be susceptible to security breaches, which may damage our reputation and adversely affect our business.

 

As an internet-based media company delivering contents through internet, our system is susceptible to cyber security risks, including hijacking attacks, phishing attacks, hacker’s intrusions to steal customer’s private information, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks may disrupt our services and cause leakage of our customers’ personal information, which may result in significant damages and material adverse effects to our customers and our operations. We cannot assure you that our data protection measures are sufficient to prevent any data leakage or disruption of our service due to cyber attacks. We may suffer negative consequences, such as remedial losses, increased cyber security protection costs, lost revenues, litigation and reputational damage due to cyber attacks.

 

Internet use can decline if any major compromise of internet security occurs. “Hacking” involves efforts to gain unauthorized access to information or systems or to cause intentional malfunctions or loss or corruption of data, software, hardware or other computer equipment. Hackers, if successful, could misappropriate proprietary information or cause disruptions in our services. We may be required to expend capital and other resources to protect our website and mobile applications against hackers, and the measures we take may not be effective. In addition, the inadvertent transmission of computer viruses could expose us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible finding of liabilities, damages to our reputation as well as decrease in our user traffic.

 

Traffic growth and user engagement depend upon effective interoperation with operating systems, networks, devices, web browsers and standards that we do not control.

 

We make our websites and mobile applications available across a variety of operating systems. We are dependent on the interoperability of our websites and mobile applications with popular devices, desktop and mobile operating systems and web browsers that we do not control, such as Windows, Android, iOS, and others. Any changes in such systems, devices or web browsers that degrade the functionality of our websites and mobile applications or give preferential treatment to competitive websites and mobile applications could adversely affect us.

 

Further, if the number of platforms for which we develop our websites and mobile applications increases, it will result in an increase in our costs and expenses. In order to deliver high quality products and services, it is important that our websites and mobile applications work well with a range of operating systems, networks, devices, web browsers and standards that we do not control. In addition, because a large number of our users access our websites and mobile applications through mobile devices, we are particularly dependent on the interoperability of our websites and mobile applications with such devices and operating systems. In the event that it is difficult for our users to access and use our websites and mobile applications and services, particularly on their mobile devices, our user growth and user engagement could be harmed, and our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

 

Our business and results of operations may be harmed by service disruptions, or by our failure to timely and effectively scale and adapt our existing technology and infrastructure.

 

The continual accessibility of our websites and the performance and reliability of our network infrastructure are critical to our reputation and our ability to attract and retain users, advertisers and merchants. Any system failure or performance inadequacy that causes interruptions in the availability of our services or increases the response time of our services could reduce our appeal to users and consumers. Factors that could significantly disrupt our operations include systematic failures and outages caused by fire, floods, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events; software errors; computer viruses, break-ins and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems; and security breaches related to the storage and transmission of proprietary information, such as credit card numbers or other personal information.

Table of Contents

 

As the number of our users increases and more content we generate or deliver, including photos and videos on our OTT platform, we may be required to expand and adapt our technology and infrastructure to continue to reliably store and analyze this content. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve the performance of our programs and services, especially during peak usage times, as our programs and services become more complex and our user traffic increases. We have limited backup systems and redundancy. Future disruptions or any of the foregoing factors could damage our reputation, require us to expend significant capital and other resources and expose us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability. We do not carry any business interruption insurance to compensate for losses that may occur as a result of any of these events. Accordingly, our results of operations may be adversely affected if any of the above disruptions occurs.

 

If we fail to comply with the rating of internet content, news regulations or any other applicable laws and rules, we may be investigated and face litigation and potential liabilities and be subject to fines.

 

Our business operations are subject to the regulations of rating of internet content, news regulations and privacy laws in Hong Kong. We and the Target are required to restrict children, teenagers and young adults from viewing the programs provided by us outside the appropriate ratings. With respect to the regulations of news production and distribution, we and the Target are prohibited from creating or distributing news that invades people’s privacy, damages people’s reputation based on false or misleading information, or contravenes other applicable laws and regulations. If the authority in Hong Kong has reason to investigate the potential violation of ratings of internet content, news regulations or other applicable laws and rules, our business operations could be disrupted, which would have a negative impact on our reputation and results of operations.

 

Risks Related to O ur Stock and Becoming a Public Company

 

Our largest stockholder may take actions that conflict with our public stockholders’ best interests.

 

As of the date of this report, our largest stockholder, Tijin Song, owned approximately 46.70% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Mr. Song may own or operate companies that may conflict with those of the Target Company or the Company. We cannot assure you that our largest shareholder will not take any actions that impair our ability to conduct our business competitively or conflict with the best interests of our other stockholders.

 

You may experience dilution of your ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional common stock of the Company.

 

In the future, we may issue additional authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our current shareholders. We may also issue additional shares of our securities that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock, as the case may be, in connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future financing, and other purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares may create downward pressure on the market price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with any capital raising efforts at a price (or exercise prices) below the price at which our shares may be valued or priced in a public market.

 

There is not an active liquid trading market for the Company’s Common Stock.

 

There is no regular active trading market in the Company’s Common Stock, and we cannot guarantee that an active trading market will develop. If an active market for the Company’s Common Stock develops, there is a significant risk that the Company’s stock price may fluctuate dramatically in the future in response to any of the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:

 

·

variations in our operating results;

 

·

announcements that our revenue or income are below expectations;

 

·

general economic slowdowns;

 

·

sales of large blocks of the Company’s Common Stock; and

 

·

announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments.

The Target will incur additional costs as a result of becoming a public company, and the new management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance initiatives.

 

As a public company, the Target will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that it did not have as a private company. The Target is subject to the reporting and other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). These rules and regulations will require, among other things, that we and the Target file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial conditions and establish and maintain effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. We and the Target expect these rules and regulations to substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the recently enacted Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The Board, management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements in this current report on Form 8-K may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this report, including the risks described under “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this report and in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and except as may be required under applicable securities laws, we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this current report.

 

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

 

This Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) contains “forward-looking statements”, which represent our projections, estimates, expectations or beliefs concerning among other things, financial items that relate to management’s future plans or objectives or to our future economic and financial performance. In some cases, you can identify these statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “plans”, “believe”, “will”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect” “project”, or “intend”, including their opposites or similar phrases or expressions. You should be aware that these statements are projections or estimates as to future events and are subject to a number of factors that may tend to influence the accuracy of the statements. These forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the events or plans of the Company will be achieved. You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this MD&A. Except as may be required under applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this MD&A or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe under “Risk Factors” in this report. Actual results may differ materially from any forward looking statement.

 

Overview

 

China VTV Limited or the Target Company was incorporated on January 9, 2015 under the laws of Hong Kong. The Target’s business plan is to generate revenue from its recently developed Over-The-Top (the “OTT”) streaming media platform and to become a content provider that distributes streaming media and TV programs directly to paid membership over the internet. As of the date of this current report, the Target has conducted limited business operations and had no revenues from operations since its inception. Prior to and after the Share Exchange, the Target was and continues as a development stage company and had not yet realized any revenues from our planned operations as of December 31, 2018.

 

As a result of the consummation of the Share Exchange on May 6, 2019, the Target became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the business of the Target Company became the business of the Company. We are now, through the Target, engaged in program production, licensing TV programs and movies, live broadcasting and distributing content through our OTT platform to the End Devices, such as smart phones, tablets, smart TVs.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

 

The Target has a limited operating history since its inception in 2015. As of the date of this current report, the Target and the Company have not generated any revenues from their operations. We cannot guarantee the Company and the Target will be successful in the business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the launching of our subscription internet TV programs and market or general economic downturns in the regions where we target the customers. We do not believe we have sufficient funds to operate our business for the next 12 months without further funding.

 

There is no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand the internet-based media operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

 

If we are unable to raise additional capital to maintain our operations in the future, we may be unable to carry out the full business plan or may be forced to cease operations.

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Target’s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and accompanying notes that appear in this current report on Form 8-K.

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of professional service fees, business travel expense, and due and subscription fees. General and administrative expenses reduced by approximately $21,600 or (75.61)% from $28,611 for the year ended December 31, 2017 to $6,978 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in general and administration expenses was principally due to the decrease in professional service fees.

 

Research and Development Expense

 

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses mainly included the development and maintenance fees for OTT streaming media platform. The Target incurred R&D expenses in the amounts of $861,999 and $433,437 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which reflected an increase of $428,562 or 98.88%. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to more research and development costs incurred in making improvements to our OTT streaming media platform, including testing, maintaining and modifying our user interface, our recommendation, merchandising and streaming delivery technology and infrastructure.

 

Net Loss

 

As a result of the above factors, the Target had net loss of $868,977 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to net loss of $462,048 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2017, representing an increase of net loss of approximately $406,900 or 88.07%. The increase of net loss was primarily attributable to the increase in R&D expenses, partially offset by the decrease in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared with the same period of the year ended December 31, 2017.

Net cash used in operating activities was $868,977 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, compared to that of $462,048 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The increase of $406,929 or 88.07% was primarily due to the increase in net loss during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $868,977 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, compared to that of $462,048 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, representing an increase of $406,929 or 88.07%. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was mainly due to the increase in capital contribution from a related party to the Company for working capital purposes.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") of the United States.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Classification

 

Certain classifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassification had no impact on previously reported net loss nor accumulated deficit.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development costs are generally expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses mainly consist of the costs incurred in the development and improvement of the Company’s OTT service platform. Research and development expenses were $861,999 and $433,437 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Translation Adjustment

 

The accounts of the Company were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”). Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (“$” or “USD”) in accordance ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters", with the HKD as the functional currency. Pursuant to the ASC 830, all assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate, stockholder's equity are translated at the historical rates, and income statement items are translated at an average exchange rate for the period.

 

The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholder’s equity (deficit).

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) includes accumulated foreign currency translation gains and losses. The Company has reported the components of comprehensive income (loss) on its statements of stockholder’s equity(deficit) and statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It requires that an entity measure its financial instruments to base fair value on exit price, maximize the use of observable units and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to determine the exit price. It establishes a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy increases the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and related disclosures by maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

 

 

· Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation of these instruments does not require a high degree of judgment as the valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly available.

 

 

 

 

· Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

 

 

 

· Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. The fair value for such assets and liabilities is generally determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that incorporate the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The carrying values of certain assets and liabilities of the Company, such as due to related party, approximate to fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued and their potential effect on our financial statements. The Company's management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Target had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2018.

 

PROPERTIES

 

Our corporate headquarters are located at New Times Centre, 393 Jaffe Road, Suite 17A, Wan Chai, Hong Kong. We do not pay rent for this office space and there is only a verbal lease between the Target and the landlord, who is a friend of one of the directors’. Some of our cloud disks are maintained in such office space in Hong Kong. The Target plans to move to a new location at the end of 2019. There is no assurance how long this office accommodation will last.

 

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNER AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth certain information, as of the date of filing of this report, with respect to the beneficial ownership of the outstanding common stock by (i) any holder of more than five (5%) percent; (ii) each of the Company’s executive officers and directors; and (iii) the Company’s directors and executive officers as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, the beneficial owners have sole voting and investment power, as applicable, over the shares of common stock listed below. For each individual and group included in the table below, percentage ownership is calculated by dividing (a) the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by such person or group by (b) the sum of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of this current report, plus the number of shares of common stock that such person or group had the right to acquire on or within 60 days after the date of this report. The address for each individual listed below is: c/o New Times Centre, 393 Jaffe Road, Suite 17A, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, unless otherwise noted.

The statute is limited to corporations that are organized in the state of Nevada and that have 200 or more stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of the State of Nevada; and does business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation.
