Before making an investment decision, you should give careful consideration to the following risk factors, in addition to the other information included in this report, including our financial statements and related notes, before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock. The occurrence of any of the adverse developments described in the following risk factors could materially and adversely harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
General Business Risks
The risk
factors listed in this section and other factors noted herein or incorporated by
reference could cause our actual results to differ materially from those
contained in any forward-looking statements. The following risk factors, in
addition to the information discussed elsewhere herein, should be carefully
considered in evaluating us and our business:
We
have a limited operating history, which may make it difficult for you to
evaluate our business and prospects.
We began
operations in China in February 8, 2008 and had our first month of revenue in
June 2008. We entered into two Memoranda of Understanding in February
2008 and closed our first acquisition in May 2008 for radio advertising
inventory for a radio channel in Tianjin, China. We secured our radio
advertising minutes in Beijing in July 2008. As such, we have a very
limited operating history upon which you can evaluate the viability and
sustainability of our business and its acceptance by advertisers and consumers.
It is also difficult to evaluate the viability of radio advertising in China
because the industry is still underdeveloped and we do not have the experience
to know how the radio advertising industry will develop in
China. In addition, due to our short operating history in China
and recent additions to our management team, some of our senior management and
employees have only worked together at the Company for a relatively short period
of time. As a result, it may be difficult for you to evaluate the effectiveness
of our senior management and other key employees and their ability to address
future challenges to our business.
We
have expanded our scope of operations to include airline magazines and plan to
further expand our scope to include media that specifically targets the affluent
of China.
Our
business previously focused on radio advertising sales but due to market
conditions and other factors we expanded our strategy to include media that
targets lifestyle trends of the affluent and middle class. In
November 2008, we closed a transaction by which we gained exclusive rights to
sell advertising for the 4th largest
airline group in China. We are repositioning the Company away from
solely a radio advertising company and towards a broader media company that
targets affluent consumers. If we do not effectively manage our
re-positioning we could impact the overall expected performance of the
business. Further, we are not sure how the market will react to a
broadening of our media offerings. Any failure to efficiently or
effectively manage this growth of our operations may limit our future growth and
hamper our business strategy.
Our
failure to maintain relationships with radio stations and specific radio
channels would harm our business and prospects.
Our
ability to generate revenues from advertising sales depends on our ability to
air advertisements on radio channels. Our ability to place
advertisements on specific radio channels in large part is related to our
ability to secure and maintain exclusive sales agreements with radio channels in
China. This, in turn, requires we develop and maintain business
relationships with national, regional and local radio stations as well as with
national and local government agencies. As of June 30, 2009, we
were in control of 54 minutes of radio advertising per day in Tianjin, China and
54 minutes in Xi’an, China. In total, the Company controls 108
minutes of inventory per day, or 39,420 minutes per year. We have
entered into three exclusive advertising agency arrangements with different
entities. We cannot assure you we can maintain these relationships on
satisfactory terms, or at all. If we fail to maintain relationships
with radio stations we would be at risk of losing our rights to be the exclusive
advertising agent for the respective channel. In turn, we would lose
inventory and be unable to satisfy our customers’ advertising
needs.
Our
failure to maintain our relationship with the airline magazine would harm our
business and prospects.
Our
ability to generate revenues from airline magazine advertising sales depends on
our exclusive right to sell and manage advertising for the Hainan Airline
Group’s airline magazine. We cannot assure you we can maintain
the relationship with the airline on satisfactory terms, or at
all. If we fail to maintain relationships with the airline we would
be at risk of losing our rights to be the exclusive advertising agent for the
magazine. In turn, we would lose the inventory and be unable to
satisfy our customers’ advertising needs. Any failure to maintain
this relationship on a satisfactory level would severely impact our revenue and
materially impact our ability to continue to operate.
We
derive nearly all of our revenues from the sale of advertising, and advertising
is sensitive to overall economic trends, domestic consumption trends and
advertising trends.
Demand
for the Company’s various advertising assets, and the resulting advertising
spending by our customers, is sensitive to changes in general economic
conditions and specifically to changes in overall advertising
spending. It is likely that a decline in overall advertising spending
in China will have a greater impact on radio advertising as it is deemed non
essential and as such customers will shift a larger portion of spending to
primary media such as television. Advertisers may reduce their
investment in advertising for any number of reasons, including:
Our
quarterly operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate
significantly from period to period in the future.
Our
quarterly operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate
significantly based on the seasonality of consumer spending and corresponding
advertising trends in China. Revenues of our business are largely
dependent on overall advertising expenditures. Overall advertising in
China tends to decrease during January and February each year due to the Chinese
Lunar New Year holiday. We also expect to experience fluctuations
around overall commercial slowdowns which can be influenced by external
influences. As radio is a support medium to other advertising media,
our operating results are likely to fluctuate as overall advertising spending
decreases. The reduction in overall advertising spending in the
market is likely to cause advertisers to shift their marketing mix and, in turn,
reduce the percentage of advertising spending on radio
advertising. As a result, you may not be able to rely on period to
period comparisons of our operating results as an indication of our future
performance. A large portion of costs are fixed thus, if our revenues
for a particular quarter are lower than expected, we may be unable to reduce our
operating expenses for that quarter by a corresponding amount, which would harm
our operating results for that quarter relative to our operating results from
other quarters.
Our
business has been impacted by global economic conditions and a corresponding
decrease in global advertising spending, which may adversely affect our
financial condition, results of operations and cashflow from
operations.
Recent
global market and economic conditions have been unprecedented and challenging
with tighter credit conditions and recessions in most major economies continuing
into 2009. Continued concerns about the systemic impact of potential long-term
and wide-spread recession, the availability and cost of credit, and the global
housing and mortgage markets have contributed to increased market volatility and
diminished expectations for Western and emerging economies. These conditions,
combined with declining business and consumer confidence and increased
unemployment, have contributed to volatility of unprecedented
levels.
As a
result of these market conditions, the cost and availability of capital has been
and may continue to be adversely affected. Concern about the
stability of markets generally and the strength of counterparties specifically
led many lenders and institutional investors to reduce, and in some cases, cease
providing credit to businesses and consumers, as well as increase the cost of
lending. These factors led to a decrease in spending by businesses and consumers
alike, and to a decline in global advertising and media spending. Furthermore,
bank borrowings are an import source of our liquidity. Continued turbulence in
the U.S. and international markets and economies and prolonged declines in
business consumer spending may adversely affect our liquidity and financial
condition, the liquidity and financial condition of our customers, and in turn
impact our accounts receivable, and our ability to raise capital needed to
expand the business.
Our independent registered public
accounting firm added an emphasis paragraph to their audit report contained in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009
describing an uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a going
concern.
Due to our continued losses and limited
capital resources, our independent registered public accounting firm issued a
report that describes an uncertainty related to our ability to continue as a
going concern. The auditors’ report discloses that we did not generate
significant revenues during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, we incurred a
net loss of approximately $6,425,846, and consumed cash in operating activities
of approximately $2,873,355. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern and may make it difficult for us to raise
capital. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
One
of our directors and our CEO, Ju Baochun, beneficially owns a significant number
of shares of our common stock which will have an impact on all major decisions
on which our shareholders may vote and which may discourage an acquisition of
the Company.
Ju
Baochun, one of our directors and our CEO, currently owns approximately 56% of
our outstanding common stock. As a result, Mr. Ju has the ability to
significantly impact virtually all corporate actions requiring shareholder
approval, including the following:
The
interests of Mr. Ju may differ from the interests of our other shareholders.
Further, Mr. Ju's beneficial stock ownership may discourage potential investors
from investing in our common stock due to the lack of influence they could have
on our business decisions, which in turn could reduce our stock
price.
If
advertisers or the listening public do not accept, or lose interest in, our
radio advertising, our revenues may be negatively affected and our business may
not expand or be successful.
China’a
radio advertising industry is small and underdeveloped compared to alternative
advertising media including television, outdoor, Internet, newspapers and
magazines. We compete with these media and others for advertising
spending of our current and prospective customers. Our success
depends upon the emergence of radio as a viable messaging medium, the continued
increase in listenership and ultimately the broader acceptance of radio by the
advertisers themselves. Advertisers may elect not to invest in radio
advertising as a whole or not use our specific services. If a substantial
number of advertisers lose interest in advertising on the radio or on our
channels specifically, we will be unable to generate sufficient revenues and
cash flows to operate our business, and our financial condition and results of
operations would be materially and adversely affected.
If
advertisers lose interest in print media or air travel based media, our airline
magazine advertising revenues may be negatively affected and our business may
not expand or be successful.
The air
travel advertising industry in China is still developing. Although
there has been support for air travel based advertising as well as print media
in general, there is no certainty this will continue. We compete with
all platforms and media types for a share of advertising spending of our current
and prospective customers. Our success depends upon print and air
travel based media continuing to develop and garner support from the advertising
community. If a substantial number of advertisers lose interest in
advertising in airline magazines, we will be unable to generate sufficient
revenues and cash flows to operate our business, and our financial condition and
results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.
The
process of building a relationship with a radio channel and then
gaining exclusive rights to their advertising inventory can be time consuming
and requires resources, mostly management’s time and attention, from which we
may be unable to recognize the anticipated benefits.
Our
business plan depends largely on our ability to gain exclusive rights to radio
channels across China. The process depends on our ability to
establish relationships with local, regional and national radio stations which
control up to 10 radio channels. Establishing these relationships and
securing exclusive rights to radio advertising inventory can be lengthy and
often not result in securing of the exclusive rights. We often need
to convince radio stations about the benefit of partnering with us to ensure
they maximize the value of their individual channels and station as a
whole. We invest considerable time and effort into the process but a
radio station may decide not to partner with us. If a majority of
targets decide not to partner with us, we will not be able to grow our business
or revenues as planned.
The
acquisition of additional exclusive radio advertising inventory requires
significant up front costs that may not be immediately recoverable.
Once we
sign a contract with a radio channel to acquire the exclusive sales and
marketing rights for its advertising inventory, we immediately deposit up to 25%
of the first year's contract price. Such deposits are usually held
for the term of the contract and roll-over as contracts are
renewed. Further, we often have to establish a new sales office to
handle the new contract. Such deposits and investments usually come
months before any revenue is generated by the new contact. We may
also experience further delays in revenue generation, if any, due to deployment
delays or difficulties in selling advertising time to new or current advertisers
to be aired on the new radio channels acquired.
The
acquisition of additional exclusive radio advertising inventory may result in
the Company placing advertisements that are restricted.
The
acquisition of new advertising inventory either through new contracts with
channels or the acquisition of competing businesses may result in the Company
placing advertisements that are restricted by the regulatory body. An
estimated 40% to 50% of current radio advertising in China is sold to companies
placing “medical advertisements.” These advertisements are restricted and
per the regulatory body may not be aired without prior approval by relevant
government authorities. However, local regulatory bodies have
overlooked strict enforcement so far due to concerns strict enforcement may lead
to a financial crisis in the radio industry. As we expand our
inventory we are likely to be in a situation where an acquisition and / or radio
channel has existing sales derived from such advertisements. The
Company plans to eliminate such advertisements but may not be able to
immediately as many of these advertisements are content substitutes which will
require the channels replace the content prior to eliminating the
advertisements. Further, the Company, as part of negotiations with
radio channels, may offer a timed removal of the advertisements as they often
provide an existing source of revenue that can not be immediately replaced and
that offsets the immediate costs associated with a new contract. The
Company, as a core principle, will follow all applicable advertising laws;
however, the Company also accepts the need at times to phase the restricted
advertisements out versus an immediate removal.
There are
no guarantees the regulatory body will not immediately eliminate all such
restricted advertisements. If the Company through acquisitions and
new contacts implements a phase out approach to such advertisements, a change in
regulatory action would adversely impact the result of the
Company. The Company does not currently sell any such restricted
advertisements.
We
face significant competition from alternative advertising media, and if we do
not compete successfully against new and existing competitors, we may not be
able to execute on our plan, and our profitability may be adversely
affected.
The radio
industry in China is underdeveloped and for the most underutilized by
advertisers in the market. We compete first and foremost with
alternative advertising media to increase the level of investment in radio
advertising in China. We compete with other mobile digital television
advertising companies and new media advertising companies in
China. Further, if the radio advertising industry expands as expected
in the coming years, the Company is likely to face new competitors focused on
selling radio advertising. We compete for advertising customers
primarily on the basis of cost per impression and reach of the radio channels we
have under contract. Specifically in the radio advertising industry
we compete with Yuan Chuan Radio, Beijing Universal Chief Advertising,
Simulcast, Beijing Radio Station, Xinhua Finance Media Unlimited and numerous
other smaller radio advertising companies. We also face competition
from radio stations that establish their own sales networks. The
Company views its primary competition as coming from other advertising media,
such as television, outdoor, newspapers, magazines and the
Internet. The alternative media have already established a stronger
presence in China and have a far more comprehensive and organized sales
effort.
Further,
we may also face competition from new entrants into radio
advertising. Though we are working to acquire a significant amount of
exclusive radio advertising minutes, the total amount of radio advertising
inventory in China is approximately 80 million minutes. The vast
amount of minutes across China means that as radio becomes a more viable
advertising medium, there will be plenty of inventory available for competitors
looking to enter the market. Therefore, we cannot assure you we will
succeed in executing on our plan of gaining a market leading amount of
advertising under contract at very attractive rates.
Increased
competition could reduce our ability to secure new contracts for radio
advertising, attract new customers and maintain our planned growth
trajectory. We cannot assure you we will successfully compete against
new or existing competitors.
The
airline magazine will continue to face competition from alternative print media
as well as alternative platforms. Further, the Company will find
increasing competition from airport based advertising. Increased competition
could impact our revenue and profit by driving prices down and costs
up.
If
we or someone else in the radio advertising industry does not “champion” the
industry, we may not be able to execute on our sales plan, and our profitability
may be adversely affected.
We
believe the radio industry in China is underdeveloped and for the most part
underutilized by advertisers. As such, the industry will require a
“champion” to promote the inherent benefits of adding radio advertising to
existing marketing activities. Companies in China, to date, have not
adopted radio as part of their advertising plan as companies have done in other
parts of the world. For the industry to meet the more aggressive
growth forecasts, we believe the medium as a whole will have to become a larger
part of the marketing spending by larger advertisers in China. We
expect to take an active role in championing the industry but accept that this
will require an investment of time and resources. There are no
guarantees our effort to promote the radio advertising industry will be
successful in attracting an increased market share of radio
advertising. We cannot assure you we will be able to efficiently or
effectively promote the radio advertising industry to become a larger portion of
the total advertising spending. Any failure to effectively develop
the radio advertising industry may materially and adversely affect our business
and future growth.
Acquisitions
of existing radio advertising businesses and new exclusive contracts with radio
channels may expose us to potential risks and have an adverse effect on our
ability to manage our business.
Selective
acquisitions and new deals directly with radio channels form a major part of our
strategy to expand our business. As we are presented with appropriate
opportunities, we may acquire additional businesses or exclusive contracts for
radio advertising that are part of our core business. Our integration of
the acquired entities and contacts into our business may not be successful and
may not enable us to expand into new markets. This would
significantly affect the expected benefits of these acquisitions.
Moreover, the integration of new acquisitions has required, and will
continue to require, significant attention from our management. Future
acquisitions will also likely present similar challenges.
The
diversion of our management’s attention and difficulties encountered in any
integration process could have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our
business. In addition, we may face challenges trying to integrate new
operations, services and personnel with our existing operations. Our recent
acquisitions and possible future acquisitions may also expose us to other
potential risks, including risks associated with unforeseen or hidden
liabilities, the diversion of resources from our existing businesses and
technologies, our inability to generate sufficient revenues to offset the costs,
expenses of acquisitions and potential loss of, or harm to, relationships with
employees and advertising customers as a result of our integration of new
businesses and new regulations governing cross-border investment by PRC
residents.
There
may be unknown risks inherent in our acquisitions and signing of new contracts
with radio channels for the exclusive sales and marketing rights of their
advertising inventory.
Although
we conduct due diligence with respect to the major acquisitions we have
undertaken and expect to do so with respect to future acquisitions, we may not
be aware of all of the risks associated with the targets of such
acquisitions. Any discovery of adverse information concerning any
company we acquired could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. While we are entitled to seek
indemnification in certain circumstances, successfully asserting indemnification
or enforcing such indemnification could be costly and time consuming or may not
be successful at all.
Failure
to manage our growth could strain our management, operational and other
resources and we may not be able to achieve anticipated levels of growth in the
new networks and media platforms we are beginning to operate, either of which
could materially and adversely affect our business and growth
potential.
We have
expanded our operations and plan to continue to expand in China. We
must continue to expand our operations to meet our plan and the expected needs
of the emerging radio advertising industry. We must continue to sign
new contracts for the exclusive rights to radio advertising inventory across
China. We also need to take advantage of the current environment that
provides the opportunities to enter into such agreements. Our
expansion has resulted, and will continue to result, in substantial demands on
our management's resources. It has also increased our need for a reliable supply
of management to handle the sales and marketing activities needed in the
expanding markets. To manage our growth, we must develop and improve
our existing administrative and operational systems and, our financial and
management controls and further expand, train and manage our work
force. We may not be able to manage our current or future expansion
as it extends beyond our base of operations in Beijing, China. We
cannot assure you we will be able to efficiently or effectively manage the
growth of our operations, recruit top talent and train our personnel. Any
failure to efficiently manage our expansion may materially and adversely affect
our business and future growth.
Our
business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our key executives.
Our business may be severely disrupted if we lose their
services.
Our
future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our key
executives, particularly Ju BaoChun our Chief Executive Officer, and Jeffrey
Dash, our Chief Financial Officer. We rely on the expertise of our
key executives in business operations and the advertising industries and on
their relationships with our stockholders, business partners and regulators. If
one or more of our key executives is unable or unwilling to continue in his
present positions, we may not be able to replace them easily or at all.
Therefore, our business may be severely disrupted, our financial condition and
results of operations may be materially and adversely affected and we may incur
additional expenses to recruit and train personnel.
Our
senior management and employees have worked together for a short period of time,
which may make it difficult for you to evaluate their effectiveness and ability
to address challenges.
Due to
our limited operating history, certain of our senior management and employees
have worked together at the Company for a relatively short period of
time. As a result, it may be difficult for you to evaluate the
effectiveness of our senior management and other key employees and their ability
to work with the employees of our operating groups and address future challenges
to our business.
If
we are unable to attract, train and retain key individuals, highly skilled
employees and important talent, our business may be adversely
affected.
We need
to hire additional employees, including personnel to sell our radio advertising
inventory and administrative staff to support our operations. If we are unable
to identify, attract, hire, train and retain individuals in these areas or
retain our existing employees, due to our failure to provide them with adequate
incentives or otherwise, the effectiveness of our sales efforts and overall
business management may be negatively impacted, which could adversely affect our
business, expansion and results of operations.
We
may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims, which may force us
to incur legal expenses and could potentially result in judgments against us,
which may materially disrupt our business.
We cannot
be certain our radio advertising content or other aspects of our business do not
or will not infringe upon patents, copyrights or other intellectual property
rights held by third parties. Although we are not aware of any such claims, we
may become subject to legal proceedings and claims relating to the intellectual
property of others in the ordinary course of our business. If we are found to
have violated the intellectual property rights of others, we may be enjoined
from using such intellectual property, and we may incur licensing fees or be
forced to develop alternatives. In addition, we may incur substantial expenses
in defending against these third party infringement claims, regardless of their
merit. Successful infringement or licensing claims against us may impact our
ability to place advertisement for our customers or in substantial monetary
liabilities, which may materially and adversely disrupt our
business.
If
we fail to implement effective internal controls required by the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, to remedy any material weaknesses in our internal controls that we
may identify, or to obtain the attestation required by Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, such failure could result in material misstatements
in our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported
financial information and have a negative effect on the trading price of our
common stock.
Section
404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires management of public companies to
develop and implement internal controls over financial reporting and evaluate
the effectiveness thereof, and the independent auditors to attest to the
effectiveness of such internal controls and the evaluation performed by
management. We have not yet been required to obtain the independent
auditor attestation required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002.
Any
failure to complete our assessment of our internal controls over financial
reporting, to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify, or to
implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their
implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our
reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial
statements. Any such failure also could adversely affect the results
of the periodic management evaluations of our internal controls and, in the case
of a failure to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify, would
adversely affect our ability to obtain the annual auditor attestation reports
regarding the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial
reporting that are required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act. Inadequate internal controls could also cause investors to lose
confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative
effect on the trading price of our common stock.
Further,
because some members of our management team have limited or no experience
operating a publicly-traded company, we may need to recruit, hire, train and
retain additional financial reporting, internal controls and other personnel in
order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting
procedures. This may be time consuming, difficult and costly for
us.

Executive Overview
Our Company, through our subsidiary Wombat Australia Holdings Pty Ltd, operates two business lines:
Digital Marketing and Video Production. We provide marketing and video production services, including digital marketing and offline advertising, focusing on Singapore, Taiwan, Australia and Hong Kong markets, with continued expansion into other Asian regions. Our services include online campaign execution and offline marketing activities, delivering integrated marketing solutions to enhance brand visibility and accelerate market penetration.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our Digital Marketing and Video Production business generated revenues of approximately $1,784,075 and $96,618, respectively, accounting for substantially all of our total revenues in 2025 and 94% in 2024. The significant increase in 2025 was primarily driven by our expansion into the Hong Kong market and increased demand for integrated marketing services, including large-scale campaign execution.
Products Sale and Export Trading. The Company focuses on export trading activities of various products. In 2024, the Company sold Australian-branded nutrition, health and wellness products in Taiwan, primarily through offline group-buying activities.
In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company commenced trading activities involving various products. As these transactions were still in progress and had not yet met the revenue recognition criteria, no revenue was recognized during the year. Revenue from these activities is expected to be recognized in future periods upon completion of transactions and transfer of control of goods to customers.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our Products Sale and Export Trading business generated revenues of $0 and $6,559, respectively, accounting for 0% and 6% of our total revenues.
Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance
Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:
Legend Media, formerly known as Noble
Quests, Inc., was organized as a Nevada corporation on March 16, 1998, for the
purpose of selling multi-media marketing services and other related services to
network marketing groups. Specifically, we assisted network marketers in using
marketing tools such as public relations, advertising, direct mail, collateral
development, electronic communications and promotion tools to increase product
and service awareness.
On January 31, 2008, we entered into
the Share Exchange Agreement with Ms.
Shannon McCallum-Law, the majority stockholder, sole director and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, Well Chance and the Well Chance Shareholder.
Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding
shares of Well Chance's common stock for the issuance of 1,200,000 shares of our
common stock to the Well Chance Shareholder on the basis of 1,200 shares of our
common stock for every one share of Well Chance common stock
held.
Concurrently with the closing of the
transactions under the Share Exchange Agreement and as a condition thereof, Ms.
McCallum-Law returned to us for cancellation 2,419,885 of the 5,119,885 shares
of our common stock she
owned. Ms. McCallum-Law was
not compensated for canceling the shares. In addition, we issued 4,100,000
shares of our common stock to certain affiliates of Well Chance for $87,740 and
200,000 shares in exchange for consulting services performed in connection with
this transaction. Upon completion of the foregoing transactions, we had an
aggregate of 8,200,000 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding.
Well Chance was incorporated under the
laws of the British Virgin Islands as an International Business Company on
February 22, 2005. Well Chance was formed to create a business that principally
engaged in the development and management of a technology platform that deploys
advertisements across its various advertising media.
We expanded our business in February
2008 to focus on building a consumer advertising network in the PRC focused on
the Chinese radio advertising and air travel based
advertising. We conduct our
business operations through our 80% owned subsidiary Legend (Beijing)
Consulting Co., Ltd. and our wholly owned subsidiary Legend (Beijing)
Information and Technology Co., Ltd., each of which are incorporated under the
laws of the PRC.
As of October 12, 2009, we secured the exclusive rights
to 39,420 minutes of radio advertising annually Tianjin and Xi’an. The Company also has
rights to sell advertising content for an airline magazine which has the
potential to reach 20 million Chinese consumers. Management has identified several other
opportunities to acquire additional advertising rights and expects continued
expansion of both air
travel and radio advertising assets as well as other targeted media platforms in
China.
While our
significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our
consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe
that the accounting policies described below are the most critical to aid you in
fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and
analysis.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally
accepted accounting principles 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas that
require estimates and assumptions include valuation of accounts receivable and
determination of useful lives of property and equipment.
PrinciplesResults of
Consolidation Operations
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2024
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Legend Media and its subsidiaries as
follows:
*Variable Interest Entities: See heading
entitled “Variable Interest Entities” below.
Variable Interest
Entities
In
January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46,
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting
Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 51" ("FIN 46"). In December 2003, the FASB
modified FIN 46 (“FIN 46R”) to make certain technical corrections and address
certain implementation issues that had arisen. FIN 46 provides a new framework
for identifying VIEs and determining when a company should include the assets,
liabilities, non-controlling interests and results of activities of a VIE in its
consolidated financial statements.
FIN 46R
states that in general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, limited liability
corporation, trust or any other legal structure used to conduct activities or
hold assets that either (1) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out
its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2)
has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about
its activities, or (3) has a group of equity owners that do not have the
obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its
operations.
On May
30, 2008, the Company purchased 80% of the common stock of Legend Media Tianjin
Investment Company Limited, and on July 21, 2008, the Company purchased 100% of
the common stock of News Radio Limited. Additionally, on November 28, 2008, the
Company entered into and closed the Music Radio Acquisition Agreement with Well
Chance, Music Radio Limited, , and the Music Radio Shareholders, pursuant to
which the Company acquired control of YSLD, another VIE. Due to certain
restrictions imposed upon Chinese advertising companies, direct investment and
ownership of media and advertising companies in the PRC is prohibited.
Therefore, the Company acquired control of TJ YSLD, and the Company acquired
control of MAIHESI (through its purchase of News Radio Limited). The Company
structured the Music Radio Limited and News Radio Limited transactions to comply
with such restrictions.
The
principal regulations governing foreign ownership in the advertising industry in
China include:
These
regulations set the guidelines by which foreign entities can directly invest in
the advertising industry. The regulations require foreign entities that
directly invest in the China advertising industry to have at least two years of
direct operations in the advertising industry outside of China. Further,
since December 10, 2005, 100% ownership in Chinese advertising companies is
allowed, but the foreign company must have at least three years of direct
operations in the advertising industry outside of China.
Because
the Company has not been involved in advertising outside of China for the
required number of years, the Company’s domestic PRC operating subsidiaries,
which are considered foreign-invested, are currently ineligible to apply for the
required advertising services licenses in China. The Company’s PRC
operating affiliates hold the requisite licenses to provide advertising services
in China and they are owned or controlled by PRC citizens designated by the
Company. The Company’s radio advertising business operates in China though
contractual arrangements with consolidated entities in China. The Company
and its newly acquired PRC subsidiaries entered into contractual arrangements
with TJ YSLD, MAIHESI and YSLD as well as their respective shareholders under
which:
As the Company is able to exert
significant control over the PRC operating affiliates and a substantial portion
of the economic benefits and risks have been transferred to the Company, it has
determined that the advertising entities, TJ YSLD, MAIHESI and YSLD meet the definition of a VIE. Further,
the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the risks and
benefits of equity ownership of TJ YSLD, MAIHESI and YSLD and thus consolidated these entities in
its accompanying financial statements as of June 30, 2009.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets consist of contract rights purchased in the acquisition of Legend Media
Tianjin Investment Company Limited, the entity controlling the advertising
rights to Tianjin FM 92.5, on May 30, 2008 and the acquisition of News Radio
Limited, the entity controlling the advertising rights to Beijing FM 90.5 on
July 21, 2008. In July 2009, the Company terminated the Beijing
FM 90.5 contract and on June 30, 2009 recognized an impairment loss for the
entire amount of the intangible asset. Further, the
Company recognized an impairment loss on the Tianjin (see Long-Lived
Assets). Intangible assets consist of the following at the dates
indicated:
The FM
92.5 contract rights primarily arise from an exclusive contract acquired in
connection with the acquisition of Legend Media Tianjin Investment Company
Limited, which is amortized over the 31 month contract period, from June 1,
2008, the first day of operations by the Company, based on the duration of the
existing advertising agreement that expired December 31, 2008 plus renewal of
the advertising agreement. The agreement was renewed on January 1,
2009. The contract is with Tianjin FM 92.5 and provides exclusive
rights to 54 advertising minutes per day or 19,710 minutes per year. The channel
is Beijing-based and through a relay facility airs in Tianjin. Legend Media’s
contract is with the Beijing channel’s exclusive agent, which has a national
exclusive contract with the channel. The exclusive agent subcontracted the
rights for the Tianjin market to Legend Media. The value was derived as the net
present value of the contract’s earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization (“EBITDA”) over the contract’s expected term from May 30, 2008
through December 31, 2010, using a 15% discount rate. The change in value of the
FM92.5 contract and the exclusivity agreement from June 30, 2008 to December 31,
2008 is a result of foreign currency translation at each balance sheet date and
a reallocation of the value between these two intangible assets subsequent to
June 30, 2008. At the May 30, 2008 purchase date, the Company
initially applied a 10% discount rate to calculate the net present value of the
FM 92.5 contract’s EBITDA. However, the Company subsequently determined a 15%
discount rate more accurately reflects the rate of return the Company expects to
earn on the contract, which resulted in a contract value of
$1,709,888. The $1,709,888 was reduced by $201,524 on June 30,
2009 to recognize an impairment after forecasting the remaining value of the
agreement through December 31, 2010.
Amortization
expense on this contract for the year ended June 30, 2009 was
$656,597.
The
remainder of the purchase price of $7,388,731 was allocated to an Operating
Agreement among Legend Media (Beijing) Consulting Co., Ltd., TJ YSLD and Ju
Baochun (the "Music Radio Operating Agreement"), entered into in connection with
the Music Radio Share Purchase Agreement. Mr. Ju, through a company he owns and
operates, is the 80% owner of Music Radio Limited, which is the 20% owner of the
post-acquisition VIE, TJ YSLD Pursuant to the terms of the Music Radio Operating
Agreement, TJ YSLD and Mr. Ju are prohibited from:
Amortization
expense on this contract for the year ended June 30, 2009 was
$732,428.
The FM
90.5 contract rights capitalized in July 2008 and impaired on June 30, 2009
primarily relate to an exclusive contract acquired in connection with the
acquisition of News Radio Limited which is being amortized over the 48-month
contract period, beginning July 1, 2008. The contract was with the Beijing FM
90.5 radio station and provides 126 advertising minutes per day or 45,990
minutes per year. Amortization expense on this contract for the year ended
June 30, 2009 was $241,678 and included in amortization expense in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive
income (loss). See Note 12.
Amortization
expense for the Company’s intangible assets for the years ended June 30, 2009
and 2008 was $1,630,702 and $0, respectively.
Revenue
Recognition
Total revenue increased significantly by 1,629.1%, from $103,177 in 2024 to $1,784,075 in 2025.
The
Company’s revenue recognition policies comply with SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin (“SAB”) 104. The Company purchases (i) advertising inventory in the
form of advertising airtime, the unit being minutes, from radio stations and
(ii) advertising pages from airline magazines. The Company then distributes
these minutes and pages under various sales agreements. We recognize advertising
revenue over the term of each sales agreement, provided evidence of an
arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable and collection of the
resulting receivable is reasonably assured. We recognize deferred revenue when
cash has been received on a sales agreement, but the revenue has not yet been
earned. Under these policies, no revenue is recognized unless persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or
determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Barter advertising revenues and the
offsetting expense are recognized at the fair value of the advertising as
determined by similar cash transactions. Barter revenue for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $3,247,565 and $111,833,
respectively. Barter expense for years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $2,205,597 and $80,494,
respectively. Under PRC regulations, the Company must
pay certain taxes on revenues generated. These taxes include:
The
Company recognizes these taxes in cost of revenue in the period
incurred.
Cost of revenue increased by 15,941.8% significantly from $10,298 in 2024 to $1,651,985 in 2025, primarily due to increased direct advertising and campaign execution costs associated with larger-scale marketing projects, as well as higher service delivery costs, including personnel costs and third-party service fees required to support expanded operations.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased by 42.2% from $92,879 in 2024 to $132,090 in 2025. However, gross margin decreased from 90.0% in 2024 to 7.4% in 2025, primarily due to a shift toward large-scale, execution-intensive marketing campaigns and a higher proportion of third-party costs, including advertising spend and outsourced services, which are recognized as cost of revenue.
The
Company expenses advertising costs monthly according to the terms of the
underlying contracts. The contract is expensed evenly over the term of the
agreement from the date advertising is first expected to take place. As the
advertising inventory does not carry forward, all minutes are expensed whether
sold or not. Cost of revenue for the years ended June 30, 2009 and
2008 was $5,115,998 and $2,789,490, respectively.
Recent
Pronouncements
In
December 2007, the SEC issued SAB 110, which expresses the views of the SEC
staff regarding the use of a “simplified” method, as discussed in the previously
issued SAB 107, in developing an estimate of expected term of “plain
vanilla” share options in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” ("SFAS No. 123(R)").
In particular, the SEC staff indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a
company’s election to use the simplified method, regardless of whether the
company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates of expected
term. At the time SAB 107 was issued, the SEC staff believed that more
detailed external information about employee exercise behavior (e.g., employee
exercise patterns by industry and/or other categories of companies) would, over
time, become readily available to companies. Therefore, the SEC staff stated in
SAB 107 that it would not expect a company to use the simplified method for
share option grants after December 31, 2007. The SEC staff understands that
such detailed information about employee exercise behavior may not be widely
available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the SEC staff will continue to
accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond
December 31, 2007. Upon the Company’s adoption of
SFAS No. 123(R), the Company elected to use the simplified method to
estimate the Company’s expected term.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R changes how a reporting enterprise
accounts for the acquisition of a business. SFAS No. 141R requires an acquiring entity to
recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at
the acquisition-date fair value, with limited exceptions, and applies to a wider
range of transactions or events. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and early adoption and
retrospective application is prohibited. The Company believes adopting SFAS 141R
will significantly affect its financial statements for any business combination
completed after June 30, 2009. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,
“The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS
159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to
measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value.
Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been
elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of
an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company
adopted SFAS 159 on July 1, 2008. The Company chose not to elect the option to
measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and
liabilities.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” (“SFAS 160”) which is an amendment of
ARB No. 51. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest
in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should
be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This
statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus
requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the
amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling
interest. This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15,
2008. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the
adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant effect on its results of operations
or financial position.
In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position No. EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods
or Services Received for use in Future Research and Development Activities”,
which addresses whether nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services
that used or rendered for research and development activities should be expensed
when the advance payment is made or when the research and development activity
has been performed. . This statement will not have an
impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.
161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for
derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide
enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. Based on current conditions,
the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant
impact on its results of operations or financial position.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.
162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting
principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with US GAAP. This statement will not have an impact 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”).The scope of SFAS 163 is
limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts, as
described in this statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of
Statement No. 60. Accordingly, this statement does not apply to financial
guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of
FASB Statement No. 60 or to some insurance
contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by
insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance
on trade receivables). SFAS 163 also does not apply to financial guarantee
insurance contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of
FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities.” This statement will not have an effect on the Company’s financial
statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue
07-5 “Determining whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an
Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 07-5”). EITF No. 07-5 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is not permitted.
Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities”
specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a
derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and
(b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial
position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF No.
07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a
financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock
and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. This
statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3
“Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”), which
amends the factors a company should consider when developing renewal assumptions
used to determine the useful life of an intangible asset under SFAS 142. FSP
142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 142
requires companies to consider whether renewal can be completed without
substantial cost or material modification of the existing terms and conditions
associated with the asset. FSP 142-3 replaces the previous useful life criteria
with a new requirement—that an entity consider its own historical experience in
renewing similar arrangements. If historical experience does not exist then the
Company would consider market participant assumptions regarding renewal
including 1) highest and best use of the asset by a market participant, and 2)
adjustments for other entity-specific factors included in SFAS 142. This
statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP
157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That
Asset Is Not Active,” ("FSP 157-3") which clarifies the application of SFAS 157
in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key
considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the
market for that financial asset is not active. FSP 157-3 became effective on
October 10, 2008, and its adoption did not have a material impact on the
financial position or
results for the year ended June 30, 2009.
In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP
EITF 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20,
Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained
Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets” (“FSP EITF 99-20-1”). FSP EITF 99-20-1 changes the impairment
model included within EITF 99-20 to be more consistent with the impairment model
of SFAS No. 115. FSP EITF 99-20-1 achieves this by amending the impairment
model in EITF 99-20 to remove its exclusive reliance on “market participant”
estimates of future cash flows used in determining fair value. Changing the cash
flows used to analyze other-than-temporary impairment from the “market
participant” view to a holder’s estimate of whether there has been a “probable”
adverse change in estimated cash flows allows companies to apply reasonable
judgment in assessing whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.
The adoption of FSP EITF 99-20-1 did not
have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
