PART I
Item 1. Business.
Chinawe.com Inc. (the “Company”, “Chinawe” or “we”), formerly known as Neo Modern Entertainment Corp., was formed pursuant to the corporation laws of the State of California on March 19, 1997.
Recent Developments.
Effective March 27, 2009, the Company ceased providing professional management services relating to non-performing loans (“NPL” or “NPLs”) in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The Company is in the process of terminating its employees and closing its offices. The Company is currently seeking one or more new lines of business that it can enter into. The Company has not identified a specific line of business or territory for any such new business. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in identifying a new line of business that it can enter into or that if such new line of business is identified, that the Company will have adequate funding to commence operations of the new line of business. Management of the Company currently intends to continue to fund the expenses of the Company until a new line of business has been identified. See “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Through March 27, 2009, Chinawe’s principal business was the provision of professional management services relating to NPLs in the PRC. The Company’s professional service platform provided a comprehensive solutions to NPL assets, either by expediting ownership transactions between the portfolio owners and their purchasers, or by negotiating with the relevant debtors to facilitate financial restructurings.
On February 24, 2009, Huizhou One Limited (“Huizhou”), an indirect subsidiary of Citigroup Inc., notified Chinawe Asset Management (PRC) Limited (“CAM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, that it was terminating the Master Consulting Agreement, dated September 22, 2005 and the Amendment Letter, dated May 28, 2007, between Huizhou and CAM, effective March 26, 2009. On March 20, 2009, Huizhou notified CAM that it was terminating the Master Asset Consulting Agreement dated April 20, 2005 and the Amendment Letters dated November 2, 2005, November 1, 2006 and March 18, 2008 between Huizhou and CAM, effective March 27, 2009.
Huizhou had retained CAM, pursuant to the Master Consulting Agreements, to manage portfolios of NPLs in the PRC owned by Huizhou. In each case, the agreements were terminated by Huizhou pursuant to provisions allowing termination at the convenience of Huizhou. Prior to such terminations, CAM managed the portfolio of NPLs owned by Huizhou pursuant to the Master Consulting Agreements, as discussed in the Company’s prior Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The Company had 24 employees as of December 31, 2008.
The Company is currently suspended in the State of California due to failure to file reports with the Franchise Tax Board. The Company is in the process of preparing the relevant reports and expects to be back in good standing shortly. The Company believes that the amount of taxes and penalties owed will not be material to the financial statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Set forth below are certain risks and uncertainties relating to our business. These are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

RISK RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
THE COMPANY CURRENTLY HAS NO OPERATING BUSINESS
The Company is currently seeking one or more lines of business that it can enter into. The Company, however, has not identified a specific line of business or territory for any such new business. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in identifying a new line of business that it can enter into or that it will be successful in operating any such new business. If we do not successfully address these risks and uncertainties, our financial condition will be materially adversely affected and the Company may have to dissolve.
WE WILL REQUIRE FUNDS TO FINANCE ENTRY INTO A NEW LINE OF BUSINESS
We will need financing to enter into a new line of business. We may seek to obtain such funds through sales of equity and/or debt, or other external financing in order to fund any new operations. We cannot assure that any capital resources will be available to us, or, if available, will be on terms that will be acceptable to us. Any equity financing will dilute the equity interests of existing security holders. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to execute any new business plan and our business will be materially and adversely affected. Management has in the past advanced funds to the Company to continue its operations. Although management has indicated that it will continue to fund the Company while the Company searches for a new line of business, there can be no assurance that management will continue to so fund the Company until a new line of business is located.


 

RISKS RELATING TO OUR STOCK
POSSIBLE DELISTING OF OUR STOCK FROM TRADING ON THE ELECTRONIC BULLETIN BOARD
Our common stock is listed on the electronic bulletin board of the over-the-counter market. Once delisted, we cannot predict when, if ever, our class of common stock would be re-listed for trading on the electronic bulletin board or any other market or exchange as the approval to re-list the common stock is subject to review by applicable self-regulatory authorities.
BECAUSE OUR COMMON STOCK PRICE IS BELOW $5.00, WE ARE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RULES AND REGULATIONS
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our common stock presently is a “penny stock”. Because our stock is a “penny stock”, it is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. There can be no assurance that the Common Stock will trade for $5.00 or more per share, or if so, when.
Although we desire to list the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market and intend to apply for a listing at such time as we meet the listing criteria, there can be no assurance that we will ever qualify.
Absent NASDAQ Capital Market or other NASDAQ or stock exchange listing, trading, if any, in common stock will, as it presently is, continue on the “OTC Bulletin Board” administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or “FINRA”. As a result, you may find it difficult to dispose of or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the Common Stock.
CURRENTLY WE HAVE NO INTENTION TO PAY DIVIDENDS
We have never paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, for use in our business and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
Not applicable.

Item 2. Properties.
The Company’s headquarters occupy approximately 189 square meters at Dongbao Building, #767 Dongfeng Road East, Guangzhou, the provincial capital of Guangdong, China under a lease which expired on April 9, 2009. The rental amount, along with administrative charge, was approximately $1,198 per month. The Company also had a branch office in Hong Kong. There were two additional branch offices located in Foshan and Huizhou, two major cities of Guangdong province. The leases for these two offices terminated on January 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively. The Foshan office occupied 201 square meters and the Huizhou office occupied 260 square meters, and their monthly rental amounts and administrative charges were $1,173 and $311, respectively. In light of the Company’s ceasing to service NPLs as of March 27, 2009, none of the leases for these properties were renewed.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
We are not engaged in any litigation or governmental proceedings.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the year ended December 31, 2008.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause future results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this document.
Overview — Results of Operations
The Company’s financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, the Company reported a net loss of US$397,508 and as of December 31, 2008 had a negative working capital and stockholders’ deficit of US$1,710,449 and US$1,704,930, respectively.
Effective March 27, 2009, the Company ceased providing professional management services relating to NPLs in the PRC. The Company has terminated its employees and closed down its offices. The Company is currently seeking one or more new lines of business that it can enter into. The Company has not identified a specific line of business or territory for any such new business. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in identifying a new line of business that it can enter into or that if such new line of business is identified, that the Company will have adequate funding to commence operations of a new line of business. Management of the Company currently intends to continue to fund the expenses of the Company until a new line of business has been identified. “See Risk Factors.”
Year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007
Revenues. Revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 was US$745,425 as compared to that of US$831,627 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of 10.37%. As the Company has successfully recovered a majority portion of the NPLs under two of the Company’s portfolios in Huizhou and Shanwei in the PRC in previous years, revenue from the recovery of NPLs has started to diminish while the Company has not generated new business in this field.
Expenses. Administrative and general expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 were US$976,434, decreased by 7.66% as compared to US$1,057,431, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007.
The decrease in professional fee paid to asset management consultants and decrease in salary paid to employees were the main reasons for the total decrease of US$80,997 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007.
Taxation. No income tax expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 was incurred because the PRC enterprise incurred a loss from asset management and related services earned in the PRC.
As a consequence of the foregoing, we had a loss from operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 of US$290,046 as compared to a loss from operations of US$285,865 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. The net loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 was US$397,508, as compared to a net loss of US$402,589 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007.

Fluctuations in Quarterly Results
We incurred operating losses since inception, only achieving profitability in 2004 and 2005.but reverting to a net loss again in 2006 and thereafter. We believe that future operating results will be subject to quarterly fluctuations due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:
 
Government regulation;
 
 
Pricing policies of competitors; and
 
 
The amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to entry into a new line of business and infrastructure.
In addition to the factors set forth above, the Company’s operating results will be impacted by the extent to which the Company incurs non-cash charges associated with stock-based arrangements with employees and non-employees, if such arrangements are entered into.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, the Company reported a net loss of US$397,508 and as of December 31, 2008 had a negative working capital and a stockholders’ deficit of US$1,710,449 and US$1,704,930, respectively. The Company has relied on the private financing by cash inflow from the principal stockholders of the Company, who have agreed not to demand for repayment of amount due to them as long as the Company has negative working capital and have indicated to finance the Company in case for a “reasonable” period of time for the Company to continue as a going concern, assuming that in such a period of time the Company would not be able to raise additional capital funds to support its continuation. However it is uncertain as for how long or to what extent such a period of time would be “reasonable”, and there can be no assurance that the financing from them will be continued. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain financing adequate to enter into a new line of business. The accompanying financial statements do not include or reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. See “Risk Factors.”
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are not exposed to a material level of market risk due to changes in interest rates, since we have never registered or issued debt instruments. Our outstanding long term liabilities are mostly loans from a director or other related parties, which are unsecured and interest rate fixed or interest-free. Currently we do not maintain a portfolio of interest-sensitive debt instruments or any fixed-income derivatives. Management has continuously paid great attention to the financial leverage in business development and interest expenses in operations.
If we enter into a new line of business in the PRC, we may be exposed to a material level of market risk due to undeveloped financial and credit systems in China. These include risks associated with the political and economic environment, foreign currency exchange and the legal system, on which our business has strong reliance. The legal system of PRC differs significantly from those of the industrialized nations. Laws, regulations and policies in China are insufficient to protect asset owners. Some policies by the PRC government in the future could have a significant adverse effect on our business development in China.
Prior to the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we derived a significant portion of revenues in the form of USD. From October 2005 onwards, however, we derived a significant portion of revenues in the form of Chinese RMB. Therefore we may be exposed to significant currency risks between the RMB and major foreign currencies in the future. Previously, because the RMB was effectively pegged to the U.S. dollar, during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, it was not significantly important for the Company to engage in hedging activities to mitigate the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates. However, on July 21, 2005, the RMB was revalued from 8.28 to 8.11 for US$1 following the removal of the peg to the US dollar. The People’s Bank of China also announced that the RMB would be pegged to a basket of foreign currencies, rather then being strictly tied to the US dollar. This quotation of exchange rates does not imply free convertibility of RMB to other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rate quoted by the People’s Bank of China. This revaluation is favorable for us and in 2008, the RMB was appreciated to 6.8 and currently we do not apply any hedging activities. In the future management may use foreign currency forward exchange contracts as a vehicle for hedging purposes if the PRC completely adopts a floating system and our management determines that the volatility of currency risks is material to the Company’s operations and financial performance. In this case we will disclose these activities in compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Investments and Hedging Activity”.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements reflect the selection and application of accounting policies which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of our accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue Recognition. The Company generally recognized assets management and related services income, as well as online subscription and service income when persuasive evidence of an arrangement existed, services were rendered, the fee was fixed or determinable, and collectability was probable.
The online service was terminated in the year of 2007.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to the Company.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
The financial statements required by this Item are set forth at the pages indicated in Item 13 in this Report.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
Not applicable.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and which also are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the (i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations, (ii) reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Company’s internal controls framework is based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. We believe that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. We have not identified any current material weaknesses considering the nature and extent of our current operations and any risks or errors in financial reporting under current operations.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The principal element of fixed compensation not directly linked to performance targets is the base salary. We target the value of fixed compensation generally at the median of our compensation peer group to facilitate a competitive recruitment and retention strategy.
Incentive Compensation
Our incentive compensation programs are linked directly to earnings growth, cash flow and total shareholder return.
Employment Agreements
Our executives do not have the typical employment agreements that specify compensation or length of employment. These matters are left to the discretion of the Board of Directors and the employee. At present, there are no employment contracts with any of our executives.
The Company paid aggregate compensation of $52,645 (which includes a $3,097 mandatory pension contribution) to the Chief Executive Officer in each of 2007 and 2008.

On July 25, 2001, the Board of Directors adopted the 2001 Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term growth of the Company by making awards of Common Stock to key employees and directors of the Company or its subsidiaries.
The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Board is authorized, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to (i) select the participants; (ii) determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be awarded to each of the participants and the terms and conditions on which such awards will be made; (iii) establish from time to time regulations for the administration of the Plan; (iv) interpret the Plan; and (v) make all determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
5,000,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for award under the Plan. At the time of an award of restricted stock, the Board will establish for each participant one or more restricted periods during which shares of Common Stock awarded under the Plan may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered, except as described below; provided, however, that the Board may, in its discretion, accelerate such restricted periods with respect to outstanding awards of restricted stock. Except for such restrictions, the participant as owner of restricted stock shall have all the rights of a stockholder including but not limited to the right to receive all dividends paid on such shares and the right to vote such shares.

 

14


 

Upon the death, retirement or permanent disability of a participant, upon the involuntary termination by the Company or any subsidiary for reasons other than cause, or upon the sale of assets of the Company or the merger or consolidation of the Company with another corporation and the terms of such sale, merger or consolidation do not entitle the participant to shares of the purchasing, surviving or resulting corporation, all of such shares shall be free of such restrictions. If the participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries for any other reason, then all unvested shares of restricted stock therefore awarded to him, will upon such termination of employment be forfeited and returned to the Company and available for award to another participant.
An award of restricted stock shall not be effective unless the participant enters into an agreement with the Company in a form specified by the Board agreeing to the terms, conditions and restrictions of the award and such other matters as the Board shall in its sole discretion determine.
At the expiration of a restricted period, the Company will deliver to the participant (or his legal representatives, beneficiaries or heirs) the certificates of Common Stock held by the Company for which such restricted period has terminated.
The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be awarded under the Plan will be appropriately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock resulting from a division or combination of shares or other capital adjustment; or resulting from the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase or decrease in such shares by the Company.
The Board of Directors may amend the Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board of Directors may deem advisable, provided that no change may be made in any award theretofore granted which would impair the rights of a participant, without consent of the participant. The Board may amend agreements between participants and the Company from time to time as the Board may deem advisable, provided that no change may be made in any award theretofore granted which would impair the rights of a participant without the written consent of the participant.
The Board of Directors may at any time terminate the Plan. Any such termination will not affect awards already in effect and such awards shall remain in full force and effect as if the Plan had not been terminated.
No awards may be made under the Plan subsequent to December 31, 2011. No awards have been made under the Plan as of the date of this Annual Report.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
From time to time members of management or affiliates thereof have made unsecured, interest-free advances to the Company to provide working capital. As of December 31, 2008, the total outstanding advances were US$920,193. During the year the Company received aggregate advances of US$321,024 and repaid aggregate advances of US$8,498.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of
CHINAWE.COM INC.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chinawe.com Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits also included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 2008 and 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2(b) to the financial statements, the Company had negative working capital and stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2008 of US$1,710,449 and US$1,704,930, respectively, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2(b). The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 12 to the financial statements, on February 24 and March 20, 2009, the Company received termination notices from its sole customer which resulted in a subsequent discontinuance of the Company’s entire operations. Management’s estimation of the financial impact in respect of the discontinued operations has been disclosed in the note thereto.

CHINAWE.COM INC.
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE
Chinawe.com Inc. (“Chinawe”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of California. Chinawe’s principal business activity is providing professional management services relating to non-performing loans (“NPLs”) in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), as well as other consulting services.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chinawe and the following subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”):
Officeway Technology Limited; a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in December 1999, which was formed for the purpose of acquiring (in March 2000) its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chinawe Asset Management Limited (“CAM (HK)”).
CAM (HK); a company incorporated in Hong Kong in June 1997, which is an investment holding company.
Chinawe Asset Management (PRC) Limited (“CAM (PRC)”) was established in the PRC in April 2005 to service the NPLs under services agreements with Huizhou One Limited (“HOL”), a subsidiary of Citigroup Financial Products Inc. (“CFP”)., which accounted for 100% of the revenue from assets management and related services for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US”). The financial statements are presented in US dollars.
(b) Going concern considerations
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had negative working capital and stockholders’ deficit of US$1,710,449 and US$1,704,930, respectively, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has relied on the private financing by cash inflow from the principal stockholders of the Company, who have agreed not to demand for repayment of amounts due to them as long as the Company has negative working capital and have indicated to finance the Company for a “reasonable” period of time to enable the Company to continue as a going concern, assuming that in such a period of time the Company would not be able to raise additional capital funds to support its continuation. However, it is uncertain as for how long or to what extent such a period of time would be “reasonable”, and there can be no assurance that the financing from them will be continued. The accompanying financial statements do not include or reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
(c) Principles of consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of Chinawe and its subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents

 

F-7


 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into a known amount of cash to be cash equivalents.
(e) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost of each asset using annual percentage rates as follows:
         
Office equipment
    30 %
Computer equipment
    30 %
Leasehold improvements
    20 %
Motor vehicles
    30 %
(f) Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets
The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the recoverable amount of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
(g) Revenue recognition
The Company generally recognizes online subscription and service income and assets management and related services income when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services are rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.
The online service was terminated in the year of 2008.
(h) Operating leases
Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the leasing company are accounted for as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases are recorded in the statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(i) Income taxes
Provision for income and other taxes has been made in accordance with the tax rates and laws of the countries in which the Company operates.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

F-8


 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(j) Earnings (Loss) per share of common stock
Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. The Company had no potential common stock instruments which would result in diluted earnings (loss) per share in 2008 or 2007.
(k) Foreign currency translation
The Company’s functional currency is Renminbi, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. For group reporting purposes, the amounts shown in the financial statements are presented in US dollars (“reporting currency”).
For translation of financial statements into the reporting currency, assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the rates of exchange existing at the year end. Income and expenses for each income statement presented are translated at the average rates during the year. Resulting exchange differences are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity.
(l) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the US requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates includes provisions for doubtful accounts, sales returns and allowances, impairment of long-lived assets and incomes taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(m) Fair value of financial instruments
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term debt and related party balances, approximate their carrying value in the financial statements.
(n) Comprehensive income
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes requirements for disclosure of comprehensive income which includes certain items previously not included in the statements of operations, including minimum pension liability adjustments and foreign currency translation adjustments, among others. The Company’s components of comprehensive income include net loss for the year and a foreign currency translation adjustment.
(o) Related parties
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
(p) New accounting pronouncements
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — An Amendment of No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 expands the disclosure requirements in 133, regarding an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective on January 1, 2009. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

F-9


 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
In May 2008, the FASB issued The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for non-governmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 162 on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60 (“SFAS 163”) to require that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation and clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS 163 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
On September 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB staff position No. 133-1 (“FSP 133-1”) and FIN 45-4, Disclosures about credit derivatives and Certain Guarantees — An amendment of SFAS 133 and FIN 45 ("FIN 45-4") and Clarification of the Effective Date of SFAS 161. FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4 expand the disclosure requirement of credit derivatives and guarantees and are effective for reporting periods (annual or interim) ending after November 15, 2008. The adoption of these statements is not expected to have any effect on the Company’s financial statements.
On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market For That Asset Is Not Active, clarifiying the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active. The FASB also issued a FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FAS 13 Statement No. 157, amending SFAS 157 for non financial assets and non financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis at least annually, effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within these fiscal years. The adoption of these statements is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

An impairment loss of US$17,882 was made during the year against certain assets including mainly leasehold improvement because the directors are of the opinion that there will be no sufficient future economic benefits generated by these assets.
During the year, the Company disposed of certain property, plant and equipment, which resulted in a gain on disposal of US$11,634 (2007: Nil).

The Company is subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled.
Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “BVI”), dividends and capital gains arising from the Company’s investments in the BVI are not subject to income taxes and no withholding tax is imposed on payments of dividends to the Company.
Companies that carry on business and derive income in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong income tax at 16.5% and 17.5% for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Companies that carry on business and derive income in the PRC are subject to income tax at 25% and 33% for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

6. RELATED PARTY BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS
The balances with related parties are as follows:
                         
            As of December 31,  
    NOTE     2008     2007  
          US$     US$  
 
                       
At cost:
                       
Loan from a director, including interest
    (a )           143,001  
Advances from stockholders
    (b )     920,193       481,070  
 
                     
 
            920,193       624,071  
 
                   
Note:
     
(a)  
The amount due to the director was unsecured, interest bearing at 23% per annum and repayable on June 30, 2008. On July 1, 2008, the director assigned the amount due to her to a stockholder who is also a director of the Company. The stockholder has agreed not to demand repayment of this unsecured loan if such repayment would have a material adverse impact on the Company and no interest will be charged on the advance. Accordingly, the assigned amount is now included under “Advances from Stockholders”.
 
(b)  
The amounts due are unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable on demand. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company received advances from related parties of US$321,024 and US$149,103, respectively. In addition, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company repaid advances of US$8,498 and US$22,543 to related parties, respectively.

 

F-12


 

In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company paid US$15,484 and US$15,484, respectively, to a director in respect of operating lease charges for a premises.
7. OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company had total future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating lease payable as follows:
                 
    As of December 31,  
    2008     2007  
    US$     US$  
 
               
Within one year
    88,320       55,733  
In the second to fifth years inclusive
    1,171       2,672  
 
           
 
    89,491       58,405  
 
           
Operating lease payments of US$120,052 and US$109,930 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, represent rental paid by the Company for its office premises and staff quarters of which leases are negotiated for a term of one year.
8. RETIREMENT PLAN AND POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Following the introduction of the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (“MPFO”) in Hong Kong, the subsidiary in Hong Kong has participated in the defined contribution mandatory provident fund since December 1, 2000. Both the Company and its employees make monthly contributions to the fund at 5% of the employees’ earnings as defined under the MPFO. The contributions of the Company and the employees are subject to a cap of HK$1,000 (US$129) per month and thereafter contributions are voluntary.
As stipulated by the rules and regulations in the PRC, the Company is required to contribute to a state-sponsored social insurance plan for all of its employees at 12% of the basic salary of its employees. The state-sponsored retirement plan is responsible for the actual pension payments or any post-retirement benefits beyond the annual contributions.
During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the aggregate amount of the Company’s contributions amounted to US$37,513 and US$37,657, respectively.
9. CONTINGENCIES
One of the subsidiaries in the PRC is subject to the PRC enterprise income tax and business tax. However, up to December 31, 2008, the Company only submitted tax returns and made payments for a portion of the total tax liabilities, which is not in compliance with the tax laws and regulations in the PRC. For this reason, the Company has made full provision for all tax liabilities in accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations, together with a surcharge that may be levied on the Company at a daily rate of 0.05% of the underpaid taxes.
Despite the fact that the Company has fully accrued the taxes and related surcharges in the financial statements, the Company may be subject to penalties ranging from 50% to 500% of the underpaid tax amounts. The exact amount of the penalty cannot be estimated with any reasonable degree of certainty.
The Company is currently suspended in the State of California due to failure to file reports with the Franchise Tax Board. The Company is in the process of preparing the relevant reports and expects to be back in good standing shortly. The Company believes that the amount of taxes and penalties owed will not be material to the financial statements. The Company is also delinquent in filing its U.S. Federal tax returns. The Company is in the process of preparing the relevant returns and does not believe that the amount of taxes owed will be material.

10. STOCK PLAN
On July 25, 2001 the Board of Directors approved the Chinawe.com Inc. 2001 Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”), under which 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for award under the Plan. Pursuant to the Plan, stock awards may be granted to eligible officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company. Through 2008, no awards have been made under the Plan.
11. RISK CONSIDERATIONS
As a majority of the Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC, the Company is subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with investments in equity securities of North American and Western European companies. The Company’s operations may be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC.
Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for the past several years, no assurance can be given that the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC’s political, economic and social life. There is also no guarantee that the PRC government’s pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective.
12. POST BALANCE SHEET EVENT
On February 24 and March 20, 2009, the Company received termination notices from the Company’s sole customer, HOL, for termination of all agreements in relation to NPLs management services with effect from March 26 and March 27, 2009, respectively. The management is arranging to close down all the offices and lay off all the employees in PRC following the termination of the Company’s sole business. Since the termination has occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date, the financial effects of the termination arrangements were not recognized as at December 31, 2008.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations and balance sheet have been prepared as if the termination took place on December 31, 2008. The pro forma adjustments set out below reflect the estimated effect assuming that all costs in relation to the subsequent termination of contracts resulting from the discontinuance of business had occurred as at December 31, 2008.
