Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks described below, which constitute the material risks facing us. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be harmed. You should also refer to the other information about us contained in this Annual Report, including our financial statements and related notes.

We currently have no business operations nor any revenues or earnings from operations.

We currently have no business operations or any revenues or earnings from operations. Neither do we have significant assets or financial resources; and we will, in all likelihood, continue to sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues until the development of a new business plan or the consummation of a business combination. The auditor issues an audit opinion including an explanatory paragraph regarding going concern in our audited financial statements.

Our proposed operations are purely speculative.

The success of our proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of the identified target company. While business combinations with entities having established operating histories are preferred, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in locating candidates meeting these criteria. If we complete a business combination, the success of our operations will be dependent upon management of the target company and numerous other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we can identify a target company and consummate a business combination.

We may have significant difficulty in locating a viable business combination candidate.

We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with and acquisitions of business entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies which may be merger or acquisition target candidates for us. Nearly all of these competitors have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do and, consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. Moreover, we will also compete with numerous other small public companies in seeking merger or acquisition candidates.

It is possible that the per share value of your stock will decrease upon the consummation of a business combination.

A business combination normally will involve the issuance of a significant number of additional shares. Depending upon the value of the assets acquired in a business combination, the per share value of our ordinary shares may decrease, perhaps significantly.

Any business combination that we engage in may have tax effects on us.

Federal and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be major considerations in any business combination that we may undertake. Currently, a business combination may be structured so as to result in tax-free treatment to both companies pursuant to various federal and state tax provisions. We intend to structure any business combination so as to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both us and the target company; however, there can be no assurance that a business combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes which may have an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction.

Our ordinary shares are quoted on the OTC Market which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

Our ordinary shares are quoted on the OTC Market. The OTC Market is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq system. The quotation of our shares on the OTC Market may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential shareholders to trade shares of our ordinary shares, could depress the trading price of our ordinary shares and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.

Future sales or perceived sales of our ordinary shares could depress our stock price.

A substantial number of shares of our ordinary shares held by our current shareholders are freely tradable. If the holders of these shares were to attempt to sell a substantial amount of their holdings at once, the market price of our ordinary shares could decline. Moreover, the perceived risk of this potential dilution could cause shareholders to attempt to sell their shares and investors to short the ordinary shares, a practice in which an investor sells shares that he or she does not own at prevailing market prices, hoping to purchase shares later at a lower price to cover the sale. As each of these events would cause the number of our ordinary shares for sale to increase, our ordinary shares market price would likely further decline.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our ordinary shares for the foreseeable future.

For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our ordinary shares. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their ordinary shares after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our ordinary shares. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board deems relevant.

We are a “foreign private issuer,” and have disclosure obligations that are different than those of U.S. domestic reporting companies so you should not expect to receive the same information about us at the same time as a U.S. domestic reporting company may provide.

We are a foreign private issuer and, as a result, we are not subject to certain of the requirements imposed upon U.S. domestic issuers by the SEC. For example, we are not required by the SEC or the federal securities laws to issue quarterly reports or proxy statements with the SEC. We are allowed four months following the end of our fiscal year to file our annual report with the SEC. We are not required to disclose certain detailed information regarding executive compensation that is required from U.S. domestic issuers. Further, our directors and executive officers are not required to report equity holdings under Section 16 of the Securities Act. As a foreign private issuer, we are also exempt from the requirements of Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) which, generally, are meant to ensure that select groups of investors are not privy to specific information about an issuer before other investors. We are, however, still subject to the anti-fraud and anti-manipulation rules of the SEC, such as Rule 10b-5. Since many of the disclosure obligations required of us as a foreign private issuer are different than those required by other U.S. domestic reporting companies, our shareholders should not expect to receive information about us in the same amount and at the same time as information is received from, or provided by, other U.S. domestic reporting companies. We are liable for violations of the rules and regulations of the SEC which do apply to us as a foreign private issuer. Violations of these rules could affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

You may have difficulty enforcing judgments obtained against us.

We are a BVI company and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. Virtually all of our assets and a substantial portion of our current business operations are conducted in the PRC. In addition, almost all of our directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. A substantial portion of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors, many of whom are not residents in the United States and whose assets are located in significant part outside of the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the British Virgin Islands or the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state. In addition, it is uncertain whether such British Virgin Islands or PRC courts would be competent to hear original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands or the PRC against us or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state.

Failure to comply with PRC regulations relating to the investment in offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident stockholders to personal liability, limit our ability to acquire PRC companies or to inject capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute profits to us or otherwise materially adversely affect us.

On July 14, 2014, SAFE issued the Circular on Relevant Issues Relating to Domestic Residents’ Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles, or Circular 37, which replaced the Circular 75, promulgated by SAFE on October 21, 2005. Circular 37 requires PRC residents to register with local branches of SAFE in connection with their direct establishment or indirect control of an offshore entity, for the purpose of overseas investment and financing, with such PRC residents’ legally owned assets or equity interests in domestic enterprises or offshore assets or interests, referred to in Circular 37 as a “special purpose vehicle.”

We have notified substantial beneficial owners of our company who we know are PRC residents to comply with the registration obligation. However, we may not be aware of the identities of all our beneficial owners who are PRC residents. In addition, we do not have control over our beneficial owners and cannot assure you that all of our PRC resident beneficial owners will comply with Circular 37. The failure of our beneficial owners who are PRC residents to register or amend their SAFE registrations in a timely manner pursuant to Circular 37 or the failure of future beneficial owners of our company who are PRC residents to comply with the registration procedures set forth in Circular 37 may subject such beneficial owners or our PRC subsidiaries to fines and legal sanctions. Failure to register or amend the registration may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital to our PRC subsidiaries or receive dividends or other distributions from our PRC subsidiaries or other proceeds from disposal of our PRC subsidiaries, or we may be penalized by SAFE. These risks may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Security Review Rules may make it more difficult for us to make future acquisitions or dispositions of our business operations or assets in China.

The Security Review Rules, effective as of September 1, 2011, provides that when deciding whether a specific merger or acquisition of a domestic enterprise by foreign investors is subject to the national security review by MOFCOM, the principle of substance-over-form should be applied and foreign investors are prohibited from circumventing the national security review requirement by structuring transactions through proxies, trusts, indirect investments, leases, loans, control through contractual arrangements or offshore transactions. If the business of any target company that we plan to acquire falls within the scope subject to national security review, we may not be able to successfully acquire such company by equity or asset acquisition, capital increase or even through any contractual arrangement.

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China. Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders.

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of China passed a new Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the EIT Law, and on November 28, 2007, the State Council of China passed its implementing rules, which took effect on January 1, 2008. Under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the EIT Law define de facto management as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise.

On April 22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice Concerning Relevant Issues Regarding Cognizance of Chinese Investment Controlled Enterprises Incorporated Offshore as Resident Enterprises pursuant to Criteria of de facto Management Bodies, or the Notice, further interpreting the application of the EIT Law and its implementation non-Chinese enterprise or group controlled offshore entities. Pursuant to the Notice, an enterprise incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction and controlled by a Chinese enterprise or group will be classified as a “non-domestically incorporated resident enterprise” if (i) its senior management in charge of daily operations reside or perform their duties mainly in China; (ii) its financial or personnel decisions are made or approved by bodies or persons in China; (iii) its substantial assets and properties, accounting books, corporate chops, board and shareholder minutes are kept in China; and (iv) at least half of its directors with voting rights or senior management often resident in China. A resident enterprise would be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on its worldwide income and must pay a withholding tax at a rate of 10% when paying dividends to its non-PRC shareholders. However, it remains unclear as to whether the Notice is applicable to an offshore enterprise incorporated by a Chinese natural person. Nor are detailed measures on imposition of tax from non-domestically incorporated resident enterprises are available. Therefore, it is unclear how tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each case.

We may be deemed to be a resident enterprise by Chinese tax authorities. If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on financing proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the EIT Law and its implementing rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiaries would qualify as “tax-exempt income,” we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally, it is possible that future guidance issued with respect to the new “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC shareholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC stockholders from transferring our shares.

If we were treated as a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we would be subject to taxation in both the U.S. and China, and our PRC tax may not be creditable against our U.S. tax.

Heightened scrutiny of acquisition transactions by PRC tax authorities may have a negative impact on Chinese company’s business operations and its acquisition strategy.

Pursuant to the Notice on Strengthening Administration of Enterprise Income Tax for Share Transfers by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises, or SAT Circular 698, effective on January 1, 2008, and the Announcement on Several Issues Related to Enterprise Income Tax for Indirect Asset Transfer by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises , or SAT Announcement 7, effective on February 3, 2015, issued by the SAT, if a non-resident enterprise transfers the equity interests of or similar rights or interests in overseas companies which directly or indirectly own PRC taxable assets through an arrangement without a reasonable commercial purpose, but rather to avoid PRC corporate income tax, the transaction will be re-characterized and treated as a direct transfer of PRC taxable assets subject to PRC corporate income tax. SAT Announcement 7 specifies certain factors that should be considered in determining whether an indirect transfer has a reasonable commercial purpose. However, as SAT Announcement 7 is newly issued, there is uncertainty as to the application of SAT Announcement 7 and the interpretation of the term “reasonable commercial purpose.”

Under SAT Announcement 7, the entity which has the obligation to pay the consideration for the transfer to the transferring shareholders has the obligation to withhold any PRC corporate income tax that is due. If the transferring shareholders do not pay corporate income tax that is due for a transfer and the entity which has the obligation to pay the consideration does not withhold the tax due, the PRC tax authorities may impose a penalty on the entity that so fails to withhold, which may be relieved or exempted from the withholding obligation and any resulting penalty under certain circumstances if it reports such transfer to the PRC tax authorities.

Although SAT Announcement 7 is generally effective as of February 3, 2015, it also applies to cases where the PRC tax treatment of a transaction that took place prior to its effectiveness has not yet been finally settled. As a result, SAT Announcement 7 could be determined by PRC tax authorities to be applicable to the historical reorganization, and it is possible that these transactions could be determined by PRC tax authorities to lack a reasonable commercial purpose. As a result, the transfer of shares by certain shareholders to other parties could be subject to corporate income tax of up to 10% on capital gains generated from such transfers, and PRC tax authorities could impose tax obligations on the transferring shareholders or subject us to penalty if the transferring shareholders do not pay such obligations and withhold such tax.

SAT Announcement 7 and its interpretation by relevant PRC authorities clarify that an exemption provided by SAT Circular 698 for transfers of shares in a publicly-traded entity that is listed overseas is available if the purchase of the shares and the sale of the shares both take place in open-market transactions. However, if a shareholder of an entity that is listed overseas purchases shares in the open market and sells them in a private transaction, or vice-versa, PRC tax authorities might deem such a transfer to be subject to SAT Circular 698 and SAT Announcement 7, which could subject such shareholder to additional reporting obligations or tax burdens. Accordingly, if a holder of the Company’s ordinary shares purchases such ordinary shares in the open market and sells them in a private transaction, or vice-versa, and fails to comply with SAT Circular 698 or SAT Announcement 7, the PRC tax authorities may take actions, including requesting to provide assistance for their investigation or impose a penalty on it, which could have a negative impact on the company’s business operations.

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Chinese anti-corruption laws, and any determination that we violated these laws could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute, for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations, agreements with third parties, and make most of our sales in China. The PRC also strictly prohibits bribery of government officials. Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by the employees, consultants, sales agents, or distributors of our Company, even though they may not always be subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. However, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents, or distributors of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA or Chinese anti-corruption laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the U.S. government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

If we become directly subject to the recent scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity involving U.S.-listed Chinese companies, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate and resolve the matter which could harm our business operations, stock price and reputation and could result in a loss of your investment in our stock, especially if such matter cannot be addressed and resolved favorably.

Recently, U.S. public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China, particularly companies like us which have completed so-called reverse merger transactions, have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. Much of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity has centered around financial and accounting irregularities and mistakes, a lack of effective internal controls over financial accounting, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. As a result of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listed Chinese companies has sharply decreased in value and, in some cases, has become virtually worthless. Many of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits and SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations. It is not clear what effect this sector-wide scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity will have on our Company, our business and our stock price. If we become the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we will have to expend significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend our company. This situation will be costly and time consuming and distract our management from growing our company.

The disclosures in our reports and other filings with the SEC and our other public pronouncements are not subject to the scrutiny of any regulatory bodies in the PRC. Accordingly, our public disclosure should be reviewed in light of the fact that no governmental agency that is located in China where substantially all of our operations and business are located have conducted any due diligence on our operations or reviewed or cleared any of our disclosure.

We are regulated by the SEC and our reports and other filings with the SEC are subject to SEC review in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Unlike public reporting companies whose operations are located primarily in the United States, however, substantially all of our operations are located in China. Since substantially all of our operations and business takes place in China, it may be more difficult for the staff of the SEC to overcome the geographic and cultural obstacles that are present when reviewing our disclosure. These same obstacles are not present for similar companies whose operations or business take place entirely or primarily in the United States. Furthermore, our SEC reports and other disclosure and public pronouncements are not subject to the review or scrutiny of any PRC regulatory authority. For example, the disclosure in our SEC reports and other filings are not subject to the review of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, a PRC regulator that is tasked with oversight of the capital markets in China. Accordingly, you should review our SEC reports, filings and our other public pronouncements with the understanding that no local regulator has done any due diligence on our company and with the understanding that none of our SEC reports, other filings or any of our other public pronouncements has been reviewed or otherwise been scrutinized by any local regulator.

Because we are incorporated under the laws of the BVI, it may be more difficult for our shareholders to protect their rights than it would be for a shareholder of a corporation incorporated in another jurisdiction.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of Association and by the BVI Companies Act, 2004 (as amended) of the BVI. Principles of law relating to such matters as the validity of corporate procedures, the fiduciary duties of management and the rights of our shareholders differ from those that would apply if we were incorporated in the United States or another jurisdiction. The rights of shareholders under BVI law are not as clearly established as are the rights of shareholders in many other jurisdictions. Under the laws of most jurisdictions in the United States, majority and controlling shareholders generally have certain fiduciary responsibilities to the minority shareholders. Shareholder action must be taken in good faith, and actions by controlling shareholders which are obviously unreasonable may be declared null and void. BVI law protecting the interests of minority shareholders may not be as protective in all circumstances as the law protecting minority shareholders in US jurisdictions. In addition, the circumstances in which a shareholder of a BVI company may sue the company derivatively, and the procedures and defenses that may be available to the company, may result in the rights of shareholders of a BVI company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company organized in the US. Furthermore, our directors have the power to take certain actions without shareholder approval which would require shareholder approval under the laws of most US jurisdictions. The directors of a BVI corporation, subject in certain cases to court approval but without shareholder approval, may implement a reorganization, merger or consolidation, the sale of any assets, property, part of the business, or securities of the corporation. The ability of our board of directors to create new classes or series of shares and the rights attached by amending our memorandum of association and articles of association without shareholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in our control without any further action by the shareholders, including a tender offer to purchase our ordinary shares at a premium over then current market prices. Thus, our shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests in the face of actions by our board of directors or our controlling shareholders than they would have as shareholders of a corporation incorporated in another jurisdiction.

ITEM 4.

INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. History and Development of the Company

We were incorporated in Delaware on August 16, 2006 as Alyst Acquisition Corp. in order to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of an operating business in any industry, with a focus on the telecommunications industry, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination. Our initial shareholders purchased 1,750,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share in a private placement. On July 5, 2007, Alyst consummated its initial public offering, or IPO, of 8,044,400 of its units, or Units. Each Unit consisted of one share of Common Stock and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, Alyst (i) consummated a private placement of 1,820,000 warrants to the original sponsors, officers and directors, and certain of their affiliates of Alyst, each warrant entitled upon exercise to one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, and (ii) issued to the representatives of the underwriters in the IPO an option to purchase 300,000 of its units, or the UPO, at an exercise price of $10.00 per unit. The units issuable upon exercise of the UPO were identical to the Units, except that the exercise price of the underlying warrants is $7.50 per share.

On June 25, 2009, we completed a business combination pursuant to which Alyst merged with and into CNIH, its wholly-owned subsidiary, to effect its redomestication to the British Virgin Islands. On June 26, 2009, China Networks Merger Co., Ltd., our wholly-owned British Virgin Islands subsidiary, merged with and into China Networks, resulting in China Networks becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary. We refer to the foregoing transactions herein as the Business Combination, and the merger agreement pursuant to which the Business Combination was consummated as the Merger Agreement. CNIH and its subsidiary, China Networks, are the surviving entities of the Business Combination.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, CNIH had outstanding 12,927,888 ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, 9,864,400 warrants, and the UPO for 300,000 units, each unit containing one ordinary share and one warrant.

As of the effective time of the Business Combination, there were 8,044,400 public warrants outstanding. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one ordinary share. In order to obtain the shares, the holders of the warrants must pay an exercise price of $5.00 per share. We may redeem the warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption if, and only if, the last sale price of our ordinary shares equals or exceeds $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption.

The 1,820,000 insider warrants outstanding at the effective time of the Business Combination became exercisable into ordinary shares after September 27, 2009, the date that was 90 days after consummation of the Business Combination. The insider warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to the public warrants, except that they may be exercised on a cashless basis if the warrants are redeemed at our option under the same conditions applicable to the public warrant holders and, at such time, are held by the initial holders.

In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination: (i) the former class A preferred shareholders of China Networks received one ordinary share of CNIH for each class A preferred share of China Networks for an aggregate of 980,000 ordinary shares; and (ii) the representatives of the underwriters in Alyst’s IPO received an aggregate of 253,488 ordinary shares in lieu of payment of certain fees. The 1,750,000 ordinary shares held by the former Alyst insiders are subject to a stock escrow agreement entered into at the time of issuance in 2006 and, unless such restrictions are modified or waived, such shares are not transferrable until the earlier or June 19, 2010, the date that is 12 months following the consummation of the Business Combination, or the consummation of a merger, business combination, liquidation or similar transaction (subsequent to the Business Combination) which results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Following the Business Combination we, through our subsidiaries and variable interest entities, provided broadcast television advertising services in the PRC and operated joint-venture partnerships with PRC televisions stations in regional areas of the country. We managed these regional businesses through a series of joint ventures and contractual arrangements to sell broadcast television advertising time slots and so-called “soft” advertising opportunities to local advertisers directly and through advertising agencies and brokers, and also assisted the PRC television stations in selling advertising time slots and “soft” advertising opportunities to national advertisers, specifically by offering multi-region campaigns to maximize value and cut costs these national advertisers would otherwise face when dealing with individual stations on a station-by-station basis.

In September 2010, we entered into an equity transfer agreement whereby ANT sold all of its equity ownership in Kunming Taishi Information Cartoon Co., Ltd., a PRC company, or Kunming JV, to Kunming TV Station our 50% joint venture partner, upon approval of the Chinese authorities. This discussion was initiated due to the recent restructuring of Kunming TV station, and the PRC government’s intent to integrate its television advertising assets. As a result of the agreement, the total transfer price for the equity stake exchange was RMB 150,000,000 with the first installment of RMB 75,000,000 paid by Kunming TV in January 2011. The Company gave notice in January 2011 of the redemption of its convertible debentures issued in April 13, 2010. The aggregate amount of the Debentures being redeemed represented the entire outstanding principal of the Debentures. In addition, the Company gave notice to pay all outstanding interest owed on the debentures in ordinary shares of the Company. In May 2011, the remaining funds from the first installment were utilized for the redemption of an aggregate of 4,028,690 of the Company’s Preferred Shares. Upon receipt of the second installment of RMB 30,000,000 paid by Kunming TV, the Company redeemed an aggregate of 4,706,807 of its Preferred Shares on November 31, 2011, and upon receipt of the third installment of RMB 30,000,000 paid by Kunming TV in April 2012, the Company redeemed an aggregate of 1,575,000 of its Preferred Shares. The fourth installment of RMB 10,000,000 was paid by Kunming TV in March, 2012. The remaining RMB 5,000,000 due from Kunming TV was received by the Company in June 2012, and the funds will be partially used to redeem all remaining outstanding Preferred Shares.

In January 2011, China Yellow River Television Station, the Company’s joint venture partner in Shanxi Yellow River and Advertising Networks Cartoon Technology Co., Ltd., or Yellow River JV, was consolidated by merger into Shanxi Radio and TV Station, or Shanxi TV, a PRC state-owned entity, and Shanxi TV was the successor to all of China Yellow River Television Station’s obligations under the joint venture agreements. Upon consummation of the merger, Shanxi TV immediately and unilaterally terminated the cooperation agreement that established the Yellow River JV and transferred the advertising business of the Yellow River JV to its own internal advertising department. The Company believes that Shanxi TV’s actions constituted a direct violation of the cooperation agreement which granted to the Yellow River JV the exclusive and irrevocable right to operate China Yellow River Television Station’s advertising business.

In connection with the termination of the cooperation agreement and the transfer of the advertising business, Shanxi TV has also taken, as its own, the RMB 45,000,000 of registered capital contributed by the Company to the Yellow River JV. While the Company acknowledges the right of the PRC government to change policies and rules with respect to agreements with state-owned entities, such as Shanxi TV, however the Company believes that the RMB 45,000,000 contributed to the Yellow River JV by the Company must be returned to the Company.

In addition to attempts at negotiations directly with Shanxi TV, Yellow River JV filed an application for arbitration with the China International Economic Trade Arbitration Commission, or CIETAC, in October 2011. Shanxi TV filed its response in January 2012, and has since challenged CIETAC’s jurisdiction over the dispute, though in March 2012, subsequently withdrew the application. Since the submission of the application for arbitration, two hearings have been held, and CEITAC initially indicated that it would render a decision by August 21, 2102. However, this deadline has been extended on three separate occasions. For strategic purposes, Yellow River JV submitted a withdrawal application to CERTAC on February 17, 2013 and CEITAC rendered a withdrawal decision on March 18, 2013. On January 20, 2014, Yellow River JV filed two applications for arbitration with CIETAC in an attempt to resolve the aforementioned disputes.

On March 15, 2016, CIETAC issued two final arbitral awards with the amount of 90 million in total. Among others, the arbitral tribunal found that because Shanxi TV unilaterally terminated the cooperation agreement, it must pay RMB 45 million for damages as claimed by Yellow River JV. In addition, Shanxi TV’s termination of the cooperation agreement essentially resulted in its material breach of the asset transfer agreement with Yellow River JV and as a result, Shanxi TV is responsible to return RMB 45 million to Yellow River JV that it paid to Shanxi TV. CIETAC further ruled that Shanxi TV shall bear the RMB 0.8 million attorney fee and RMB115,084.3 arbitration fee. The payment of the above fees was to be made by Shanxi TV within 30 days after the issuance of the arbitral awards. Shanxi TV did not make such payment, and enforcement actions were filed with a local Shanxi court in May 2016. Shanxi TV subsequently applied to the court to withdraw the arbitral awards, but the court rejected such applications in August 2016. In September 2016, Yellow River JV applied to continue the enforcement procedure. Such enforcement actions are still pending. We intend to make every effort to collect the awards.

If the Company is successful in enforcing the arbitral awards and receiving all of the RMB 90 million from Shanxi TV, a portion of the funds will be used to redeem all or a portion of the Class A Preferred Shares that remain outstanding at such time. However there is no guarantee that we will be able to secure the payment of part or all of the RMB 90 million by Shanxi TV.

B. Business Overview

We are currently a shell company in the British Virgin Islands with non-operating subsidiaries ANT, a Hong Kong company, WFOE, a PRC company, and Hetong, a PRC company and a variable interest entity. At present, in addition to pursuing a remedy to the dispute with Shanxi TV as described above, the Company is exploring options with respect to future business operations. The Company may decide to seek a potential business combination with one or more yet to be identified privately held companies, or may determine that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to attempt to engage in another business through its subsidiaries and variable interest entities in China.

If management determines that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to enter into a business combination, we will not be restricted in our search for business combination candidates to any particular geographical area, industry or industry segment, and may enter into a combination with a private business engaged in any line of business. Management's discretion is, as a practical matter, unlimited in the selection of a combination candidate.

If we effect a business combination with any entity unaffiliated with our current management, our current officers and directors probably will resign their directorship and officer positions with us in connection with our consummation of a business combination. In such an instance, our current management will not have any control over the conduct of our business following the completion of a business combination.

It is anticipated that prospective business opportunities will come to our attention from various sources, including our management, our other stockholders, professional advisors such as attorneys and accountants, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial community, and others who may present unsolicited proposals. We do not have any plans, understandings, agreements, or commitments with any individual or entity to act as a finder of or as a business consultant in regard to any business opportunities for us. There are no plans to use advertisements, notices or any general solicitation in the search for combination candidates.

C. Organizational Structure

We do not directly or indirectly have an equity interest in Hetong, however ANT, our wholly owned subsidiary, has entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Hetong and its shareholders. As a result of the following contractual arrangements, we control and are considered the primary beneficiary of Hetong. These arrangements include the following:

	●	The shareholders of Hetong have jointly granted ANT an exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase all or part of their equity interests in Hetong at any time, and this option may only be terminated by mutual consent or at the direction of ANT.

	●	Without ANT’s consent, the shareholders of Hetong may not (i) transfer or pledge their equity interests in Hetong, (ii) receive any dividends, loan interest or other benefits from Hetong, or (iii) make any material adjustment or change to Hetong’s business or operations.

	●	The shareholders of Hetong agreed to (i) accept the policies and guidelines furnished by ANT with respect to the hiring and dismissal of employees, or the operational management and financial system of Hetong, and (ii) appoint the candidates recommended by ANT as directors of Hetong.

	●	Each shareholder of Hetong has appointed ANT’s designee as their attorneys-in-fact to exercise all its voting rights as shareholders of Hetong, until 2037.

Each shareholder of Hetong has pledged all of its respective equity interests in Hetong to WFOE, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ANT in the PRC, to secure the payment obligations of Hetong under certain contractual arrangements between Hetong and WFOE. This pledge is effective until the later of the (i) date on which the last surviving of the Exclusive Service Agreements, the Loan Agreement and the Equity Option Agreement terminates and (ii) date on which all outstanding secured obligations are paid in full or otherwise satisfied. Each of these agreements are subject to customary termination provisions; however, the WFOE may terminate the Exclusive Services Agreement at any time upon 30 days’ notice to Hetong.

D. Property, Plants and Equipment

We do not currently maintain any executive office space. Our registered address is 801, 29F Block C, Central International Trade Center, 6A Jian Guo Men Wai Avenue, Chao Yang District, Beijing, PRC.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 20-F. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Item 3, Key Information — Risk Factors” or in other parts of this annual report on Form 20-F.

Operating Results

Overview and Plan of Operation

Following our Business Combination with Alyst on June 25, 2009 until January 2011, we, through our subsidiaries and variable interest entities, provided broadcast television advertising services in the PRC and operated joint-venture partnerships with PRC televisions stations in regional areas of the country. We managed these regional businesses through a series of joint ventures and contractual arrangements to sell broadcast television advertising time slots and so-called “soft” advertising opportunities to local advertisers directly and through advertising agencies and brokers, and also assisted the PRC television stations in selling advertising time slots and “soft” advertising opportunities to national advertisers, specifically by offering multi-region campaigns to maximize value and cut costs these national advertisers would otherwise face when dealing with individual stations on a station-by-station basis.

Since January 2011, we have been a shell company in the BVI with non-operating subsidiaries ANT, a Hong Kong company, WFOE, a PRC company, and Hetong, a PRC company and a variable interest entity. At present, in addition to pursuing a remedy to the dispute with Shanxi TV as discussed elsewhere in this Report, we are exploring options with respect to future business operations. Management may decide to seek a potential business combination with one or more yet to be identified privately held companies, or may determine that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to attempt to engage in another business through its subsidiaries and variable interest entities in China.

As discussed above, in October 2011 Yellow River JV filed an application for arbitration with CIETAC. Shanxi TV filed its response in January 2012, and has since challenged CIETAC’s jurisdiction over the dispute, though in March 2012, subsequently withdrew the application. Since the submission of the application for arbitration, two hearings have been held, and CEITAC initially indicated that it would render a decision by August 21, 2102. However, this deadline has been extended on three separate occasions. For strategic purposes, Yellow River JV submitted a withdrawal application to CERTAC on February 17, 2013 and CEITAC rendered a withdrawal decision on March 18, 2013. On January 20, 2014, Yellow River JV filed two applications for arbitration with CIETAC in an attempt to resolve the aforementioned disputes.

Taxation

BVI

CNIH is incorporated in the BVI. Under the current law of the BVI, CNIH is not subject to income or capital gains tax. In addition, dividend payments are not subject to withholding tax in the BVI.

Hong Kong

We did not have any assessable profits subject to the Hong Kong profits tax from 2008 to 2016. We do not anticipate having any income subject to income taxes in Hong Kong in the foreseeable future.

PRC

Our PRC entities are subject to PRC enterprise income tax at the statutory tax rate of 25%. We did not have any assessable profits subject to the PRC enterprise income tax from our PRC subsidiaries.

Our future effective income tax rate depends on various factors, such as tax legislation, the geographic composition of our pre-tax income and non-tax deductible expenses incurred. Our management carefully monitors these legal developments and will timely adjust our effective income tax rate when necessary.

Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015

The following table sets forth key components of our results of operations for the periods indicated, in dollars and as a percentage of revenue.

	Year ended December 31, 2016					Year ended December 31, 2015
	Amount			Percentage of Revenue		Amount			Percentage of Revenue

The general and administrative expense for 2016 was $59,322, a decrease of $48,666 or 45%, as compared to $107,988 in 2015. The decrease is primarily as a result of no operation in 2016.

Interest Income. Interest income in 2016 was $275 compared with $497 in 2015. The decrease in interest income is due to the lower average daily balance of the bank deposit in 2016.

Interest Income. Interest income in 2015 was $497 compared with $1,110 in 2014. The decrease in interest income is due to the lower average daily balance of the bank deposit in 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Our management evaluates its estimates on an on-going basis based on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements.

Variable Interest Entities – The Company account for entities qualifying as variable interest entities (VIEs) in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Boards (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation. For our consolidated VIE, management has made evaluations of the relationships between our VIE and the economic benefit flow of contractual arrangement with VIE. In connection with such evaluation, management also took into account the fact that, as a result of such contractual arrangements, we control the legal shareholders’ voting interests and have power of attorney in the VIE, and therefore we are able to direct all business activities of the VIE. As a result of such evaluation, management concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of our consolidated VIE. We have consulted our PRC legal counsel in assessing our ability to control our PRC VIE. Any changes in PRC laws and regulations that affect our ability to control our PRC VIE may preclude us from consolidating these companies in the future.

Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method. Deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes using enacted rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established, as needed to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

The Company accounts for and discloses events that occur after the balance sheet but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued through December 31, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company did not generate any revenue and had net cash used in operating activities, which have had a significant adverse impact on its business and continue to negatively impact its projected future liquidity. The Company plans to settle the accrued dividend by issuance of pay-in-kind shares to preferred shareholders. If the Company is successful in enforcing the arbitral awards and receiving all of the RMB 90 million (approximately $13,859,800) from Shanxi TV, a portion of the funds will be used to redeem all or a portion of the Class A Preferred Shares that remain outstanding at such time.

In addition, the Company expects that it will need to raise substantial additional capital to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. The Company may also wish to selectively pursue possible acquisitions of businesses complementary to those of the Company in the future in order to expand its presence in the market place and achieve operating efficiencies. The Company expects to seek to obtain additional funding through a bank credit facility or private equity. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available.

As of December 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $123,464. The decrease in cash primarily as a result of the reduction of business activities resulted from the disposal of investment projects, thus no cash been generated from the business.

The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this report. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations, augmented by short-term bank borrowings and equity contributions by our shareholders.

Cash and Cash Equivalent at End of the Year		123,464			183,097			304,955

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $59,047 for the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared to $121,515 used in operating activities during 2015. The amount is insignificant because there were limited operations during the year.

Net cash used in operating activities was $121,515 for the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $366,226 used in operating activities during 2014. The amount is insignificant because there were limited operations during the year.

Investing activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $0, as compared to $0 net cash provided by investing activities in 2015. Due to the disposal of the investment projects and limited operations, there was no investing activities been carried out during 2016.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $0, as compared to $882 net cash provided by investing activities in 2014. The net cash used in investing activities in 2014 was mainly attributable to the purchase of fixed assets.

Financing activities

Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, Etc.

We do not engage in any significant research and development activities, nor do we own any intellectual property.

Trend Information

Other than as disclosed in the foregoing disclosures and elsewhere in this annual report, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events during the period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our net revenues, income, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause our disclosed financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial conditions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into, nor do we expect to enter into, any off-balance sheet arrangements. We also have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our equity interests and classified as shareholders’ equity. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity.

Other than described above, no family relationship exists between any of our directors and executive officers. There are no arrangements or understandings with major shareholders, customers, suppliers or others pursuant to which any person referred to above was selected as a director or member of senior management.

Compensation

In 2016, we paid an aggregate of $0 in salary to our directors and senior management as a group. None of our directors or senior management received any equity awards, including options, restricted stock or other equity incentives in 2016. We do not set aside or accrue any amounts for pension, retirement or other benefits for our directors and senior management. However, we reimburse our directors for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their services in such capacity.

Our board of directors conducts reviews informally, and compensation is not being typically changed on a regimented time-frame. Our board of directors bases the salaries of our executive officers on the amounts similarly-situated companies pay their executive officers for similar performance. In general, if an executive performs exceptionally well, the performance and, if applicable, the increase in responsibilities would also merit a salary increase.

Board Practices

Independence of Directors

We have elected to follow the rules of NYSE MKT to determine whether a director is independent. Our board will also consult with counsel to ensure that our board’s determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors. Consistent with these considerations, our board has affirmatively determined that Dr. J.P. Huang, Ms. Huang and Mr. Kaufman are our independent directors.

Board Committees

Audit Committee

We established an audit committee of the board of directors, which consists of Dr. J.P. Huang (Chairman) and Ms. Huang. We have determined that each of these individuals is an independent director under the NYSE MKT listing standards. Our board has also determined that Ms. Huang possesses the accounting or related financial management experience that qualifies her as financially sophisticated within the meaning of the NYSE MKT listing standards and that he is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The audit committee is mainly responsible for, among other things:

	●	reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements;
	●	discussing with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of financial statements;
	●	discussing with management major risk assessment and risk management policies;

	●	monitoring the independence of the independent auditor;
	●	verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;
	●	reviewing and approving all related-party transactions;
	●	inquiring and discussing with management compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
	●	pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;
	●	appointing or replacing the independent auditor;
	●	determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work; and
	●	establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies.

Compensation Committee

We established a compensation committee of the board of directors, which consists of Mr. Kaufman (Chairman) and Dr. J.P. Huang, each of whom is an independent director under the NYSE MKT’s listing standards. Our compensation committee is responsible for reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation for executive officers, evaluating the performance of executive officers in light of those goals and objectives, and determining and approving the compensation level of executive officers based on this evaluation. In addition, our compensation committee is responsible for administering our incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans, including our 2008 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan, and for making recommendations to the board of directors with respect to the adoption, amendment, termination or replacement of such plans.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

We established a nominating and corporate governance committee of the board of directors, which currently consists solely of Dr. J.P. Huang, who is an independent director under the NYSE MKT’s listing standards. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors.

The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The nominating and corporate governance committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time. The nominating and corporate governance committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons and will consider persons identified by its members, management, shareholders, investment bankers and others. We do not have any restrictions on shareholder nominations under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. The only restrictions are those applicable generally under British Virgin Islands law and the federal proxy rules, if applicable. Currently, we will consider suggestions from individual shareholders, subject to evaluation of the person’s merits. Shareholders may communicate nominee suggestions directly to the board, accompanied by biographical details and a statement of support for the nominees, subject to certain timing restrictions in connection with our annual meetings. The suggested nominee must also provide a statement of consent to being considered for nomination. Although there are no formal criteria for nominees, our board of directors believes that persons should be actively engaged in business endeavors, have a financial background, and be familiar with acquisition strategies and money management.

Employees

As of December 31, 2016, we had no employee. As required by PRC regulations, we participate in various employee benefit plans that are organized by municipal and provincial governments, including housing, pension, medical and unemployment benefit plans. We are required under PRC law to make contributions to the employee benefit plans at specified percentages of the salaries, bonuses and certain allowances of employees, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government from time to time. Members of the retirement plan are entitled to a pension equal to a fixed proportion of the salary prevailing at the member’s retirement date. In the past, we entered into a standard employment agreement and a confidentiality agreement with our employees and we believe our relationship with our employees was good. Our employee is not represented by any collective bargaining agreements or labor unions.

None of our major shareholders have different voting rights from other shareholders. We are not aware of any arrangement that may, at a subsequent date, result in a change of control of our company.

2008 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan

We adopted the 2008 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan, or the Share Incentive Plan, in connection with the Business Combination. The Share Incentive Plan provides for the grant of distribution equivalent rights, incentive share options, non-qualified share options, performance share awards, performance unit awards, restricted share awards, share appreciation rights, tandem share appreciation rights and unrestricted share awards for an aggregate of not more than 2,500,000 shares of our ordinary shares, to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company or its affiliates. If any award expires, is cancelled, or terminates unexercised or is forfeited, the number of shares subject thereto, if any, is again available for grant under the Share Incentive Plan. The number of ordinary shares with respect to which share options or share appreciation rights may be granted to an employee under the Share Incentive Plan in any calendar year cannot exceed 500,000.

The following description of the Share Incentive Plan is a summary of the material terms of the Share Incentive Plan.

Plan Administration

The Share Incentive Plan is administered by our compensation committee, or the Committee. Among other things, the Committee has complete discretion, subject to the express limits of the Share Incentive Plan, to determine the employees, directors and consultants to be granted awards, the types of awards to be granted, the number of our ordinary shares to be subject to each award, if any, the exercise price under each option, the base price of each share appreciation right, the term of each award, the vesting schedule and/or performance goals for each award that utilizes such a schedule or provides for performance goals, whether to accelerate vesting, the value of the ordinary shares, and any required withholdings. Either our board of directors or the Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding award, provided that the participant’s consent to such action is required if the action would materially and adversely affect the participant. The Committee is also authorized to construe the award agreements and may prescribe rules relating to the operation of the Share Incentive Plan.

Share Options

The Share Incentive Plan provides for the grant of share options, which may be either “incentive share options” (ISOs), which are intended to meet the requirements for special U.S. federal income tax treatment under the Code, or “nonqualified share options” (NQSOs). Options may be granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine; provided, however, that the per share exercise price under an option may not be less than the fair market value of an underlying ordinary share on the date of grant, and the term of an ISO may not exceed ten years (110% of such value and five years in the case of an ISO granted to an employee who owns (or is deemed to own) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our capital or a parent or subsidiary). ISOs may only be granted to employees. In addition, the aggregate fair market value of the ordinary shares underlying one or more ISOs (determined at the time of grant) which are exercisable for the first time by any one employee during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000.

Share Awards

A restricted share award under the Share Incentive Plan is a grant or sale of our ordinary shares to the participant, subject to such transfer, forfeiture and/or other restrictions specified by the Committee in the award. Dividends, if any, declared by us will be paid on the shares, even during the period of restriction.

An unrestricted share award under the Share Incentive Plan is a grant or sale of our ordinary shares to the participant that is not subject to transfer, forfeiture or other restrictions, in consideration for past services rendered thereby to us or an affiliate or for other valid consideration.

Performance Awards

Performance unit awards under the Share Incentive Plan entitle the participant to receive a specified payment in cash upon the attainment of specified individual or company performance goals.

Performance share awards under the Share Incentive Plan entitle the participant to receive a specified number of our ordinary shares upon the attainment of specified individual or company performance goals.

Share Appreciation Rights

The award of a share appreciation right, or SAR, under the Share Incentive Plan entitles the participant, upon exercise, to receive an amount in cash, our ordinary shares or a combination thereof, equal to the increase in the fair market value of the underlying ordinary shares between the date of grant and the date of exercise. SARs may be granted in tandem with, or independently of, options granted under the Share Incentive Plan. A SAR granted in tandem with an option under the Share Incentive Plan is granted at the same time as the related option and is exercisable only at such times, and to the extent, that the related option is exercisable and expires upon termination or exercise of the related option. In addition, the related option may be exercised only when the value of our ordinary shares subject to the option exceeds the exercise price under the option. A SAR that is not granted in tandem with an option is exercisable at such times as the Committee may specify.

Distribution Equivalent Rights

A distribution equivalent right award under the Share Incentive Plan entitles the participant to receive bookkeeping credits, cash payments and/or our ordinary share distributions equal in amount to the distributions that would have been made to the participant had the participant held a specified number of our ordinary shares during the period the participant held the distribution equivalent right. A distribution equivalent right may be awarded under the Share Incentive Plan as a component of another award, where, if so awarded, such distribution equivalent right will expire, terminate or be forfeited by the participant under the same conditions as under such other award.

Other Terms

The Share Incentive Plan prohibits the issuance of an award with terms and conditions that would cause the award to be considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Except as provided in the Share Incentive Plan, awards granted under the Share Incentive Plan are not transferable and may be exercised only by the participant or by the participant’s guardian or legal representative. Each award agreement will specify, among other things, the effect on an award of the disability, death, retirement, authorized leave of absence or other termination of employment of the participant. We may require a participant to pay us the amount of any required withholding in connection with the grant, vesting, exercise or disposition of an award. A participant is not considered a shareholder with respect to our ordinary shares underlying an award until the shares are issued to the participant.

Our board of directors may at any time terminate the Share Incentive Plan with respect to any awards that have not theretofore been granted, provided that no such termination may be effected if it would materially and adversely affect the rights of a participant with respect to any award theretofore granted without the participant’s consent. Our board of directors may at any time amend or alter the Share Incentive Plan, provided that no change in any award theretofore granted may be made which would materially and adversely impair the rights of a participant with respect to such award without that participant’s consent

MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Major Shareholders

Please refer to Item 6, “Directors, Senior Management and Employees — Share Ownership.”

Related Party Transactions

A related party transaction is any transaction between the Company and (a) enterprises that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control or are controlled by, or are under common control with, the Company; (b) associates; (c) individuals owning, directly or indirectly, an interest in the voting power of the Company that gives them significant influence over the Company, and close members of any such individual’s family; (d) key management personnel, that is, those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, including directors and senior management and close members of such individuals’ families; and (e) enterprises in which a substantial interest in the voting power is owned, directly or indirectly, by any person described in (c) or (d) or over which such a person is able to exercise significant influence.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information

Financial Statements

We have appended consolidated financial statements filed as part of this annual report. See Item 18, “Financial Statements.”

Legal Proceedings

We may be subject to legal proceedings, investigations and claims incidental to the conduct of our business from time to time. Other than as set forth below, we are currently not a party to any litigation or other legal proceedings brought against us and we are also not aware of any legal proceeding, investigation or claim, or other legal exposure that has a more than remote possibility of having a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations:

In January 2011, China Yellow River Television Station, the Company’s joint venture partner in Shanxi Yellow River and Advertising Networks Cartoon Technology Co., Ltd., or Yellow River JV, was consolidated by merger into Shanxi Radio and TV Station, or Shanxi TV, a PRC state-owned entity, and Shanxi TV was the successor to all of China Yellow River Television Station’s obligations under the joint venture agreements. Upon consummation of the merger, Shanxi TV immediately and unilaterally terminated the cooperation agreement that established the Yellow River JV and transferred the advertising business of the Yellow River JV to its own internal advertising department. The Company believes that Shanxi’s actions constituted a direct violation of the cooperation agreement which granted to the Yellow River JV the exclusive and irrevocable right to operate China Yellow River Television Station’s advertising business.

In addition to attempts at negotiations directly with Shanxi TV, Yellow River JV filed an application for arbitration with CIETAC in October 2011. Shanxi TV filed its response in January 2012, and has since challenged CIETAC’s jurisdiction over the dispute, though in March 2012, subsequently withdrew the application. Since the submission of the application for arbitration, two hearings have been held, and CEITAC initially indicated that it would render a decision by August 21, 2102. However, this deadline has been extended on three separate occasions. For strategic purposes, Yellow River JV submitted a withdrawal application to CERTAC on February 17, 2013 and CEITAC rendered a withdrawal decision on March 18, 2013. On January 20, 2014, Yellow River JV filed two applications for arbitration with CIETAC in an attempt to resolve the aforementioned disputes.

Dividend Policy

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our ordinary shares. We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, for use in the operations and expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on factors our directors deem relevant, including among others, our results of operations, financial condition and cash requirements, business prospects, and the terms of our credit facilities, if any, and any other financing arrangements. Accordingly, realization of a gain on our investments will depend on the appreciation of the price of our ordinary shares. There is no guarantee that our ordinary shares will appreciate in value.

Significant Changes

No significant change has occurred since the date of our consolidated financial statements filed as part of this annual report.

Clause 5 of our amended and restated memorandum of association sets forth the objects and powers of our company. Section 5.1 provides that, subject to certain provisions set forth in our amended and restated memorandum of association, the objects for which we are established are unrestricted and we shall have the full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by the Act or any other law of the British Virgin Islands. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 5.2 provides that we have no power to: (i) carry on banking or trust business, unless licensed to do so under the Banks and Trust Companies Act, 1990; (ii) carry on business as an insurance or as a reinsurance company, insurance agent or insurance broker, unless licensed or authorized to do so under the Insurance Act, 1994; (iii) carry on the business of company management unless licensed to do so under the Companies Management Act, 1990; (iv) carry on the business of providing the registered office or the registered agent for companies incorporated in the British Virgin Islands unless licensed to do so under the Banks and Trust Companies Act, 1990; and (v) carry on the business as a mutual fund, mutual fund manager or mutual fund administrator unless licensed to do so under the Mutual Funds Act, 1996.

Directors

BVI law requires that the board of directors of a company consist of one or more members and that the number of directors shall be fixed by the company’s articles of association. Our amended and restated articles of association provide for no maximum number of directors, subject to any subsequent amendment to change the number of directors. The power to determine the number of directors is vested in the board of directors and the shareholders. The power to fill vacancies, whether occurring by reason of an increase in the number of directors or by resignation, is vested in the board of directors in the interim period between annual or special meetings of members called for the election of directors and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection. Directors may be removed by the members for cause or without cause on a vote of a majority of the shareholders passed at a meeting called for the purpose of removing the director or by written resolution or with cause by a resolution of directors passed at a meeting or by written resolution.

Under BVI law, there is no cumulative voting by shareholders for the election of the directors. The absence of cumulative voting rights effectively means that the holders of a majority of the shares voted at a shareholders meeting may, if they so choose, elect all of our directors, thus precluding a small group of shareholders from controlling the election of one or more representatives to the board of directors

Our amended and restated articles of association provide that a director who is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by us may: (i) vote on a matter relating to the transaction; attend a meeting of directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum; and (iii) sign a document on our behalf, or do any other thing in his capacity as a director, that relates to the transaction. Additionally, our amended and restated articles of association provide that no director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting with us either as a buyer, seller or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or arrangement entered into by or on our behalf in which any director shall be in any way interested be voided, nor shall any director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to us for any profit realized by any such contract or arrangement, by reason of such director holding that office or by reason of the fiduciary relationship thereby established, provided such director shall, immediately after becoming aware of the fact that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by us, disclose such interest to our board of directors. For the purposes of the articles of association:

(a).

A director is not required to make such a disclosure if: (i) the transaction or proposed transaction is between us and the director, and (ii) the transaction or proposed transaction is or is to be entered into in the ordinary course of our business and on usual terms and conditions.

(b).

A disclosure to our board of directors to the effect that a director is a member, director, officer or trustee of another named company or other person and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction which may, after the date of the entry or disclosure, be entered into with that company or person, is a sufficient disclosure of interest in relation to that transaction. Such a disclosure is not made to our board of directors unless it is made or brought to the attention of every director on the board.

(c).

Subject to Section 125(1) of the Act, the failure by a director to comply with this provision does not affect the validity of a transaction entered into by the director or the Company.

Pursuant to our amended and restated articles of association, a director shall not require a share qualification, but nevertheless shall be entitled to attend and speak at any meeting of the directors and meeting of the members and at any separate meeting of the holders of any class of our shares. In addition, the remuneration of directors (whether by way of salary, commission, participation in profits or otherwise) in respect of services rendered or to be rendered in any capacity to us (including to any company in which we may be interested) shall be fixed by Resolution of Directors or Resolution of Members. The directors may also be paid such travelling, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending and returning from meetings of the directors, or any committee of the directors or meetings of the members, or in connection with our business as shall be approved by Resolution of Directors or Resolution of Members.

Rights and Obligations of Shareholders

Dividends

Subject to the Act, the directors may, by resolution of directors, authorize a distribution (including a dividend) by us to members at such time and of such an amount as they think fit if they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that immediately after the distribution, the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities and we are able to pay our debts as they fall due. Any distribution payable in respect of a share which has remained unclaimed for three years from the date when it became due for payment shall, if the board of the directors so resolves, be forfeited and cease to remain owing by us. The directors may, before authorizing any distribution, set aside out of our profits such sum as they think proper as a reserve fund, and may invest the sum so set apart as a reserve fund upon such securities as they may select.

The holder of each share has the right to an equal share in any distribution paid by us.

We do not intend to pay any dividends to our shareholders in the foreseeable future.

Voting Rights

Each share confers on the shareholder the right to one vote at a meeting of the members or on any resolution of members on all matters before our shareholders.

Rights in the event of winding up

The holder of each share is entitled to an equal share in the distribution of the surplus assets of us on a winding up.

Redemption

The directors may, on behalf of the Company, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire and hold our own shares for such consideration as the directors consider fit, and either cancel or hold such shares as treasury shares. We may only offer to acquire shares if at the relevant time the directors determine by resolution of directors that immediately after the acquisition the value of our assets exceeds our liabilities and we are able to pay our debts as they fall due.

Changes in the rights of shareholders

If at any time the Company is authorized to issue shares of more than one class the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than three-fourths of the issued shares of that class and the holders of not less than three-fourths of the issued shares of any other class of shares which may be affected by such variation.

Meetings

Under the Act, there is no requirement for an annual meeting of shareholders. Under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, an annual meeting of members must be held each year at such date and time as may be determined by the directors. The directors shall call a meeting of the members if requested in writing to do so by members entitled to exercise at least 30% of the voting rights in respect of the matter for which the meeting is being held. No less than ten days and not more than sixty days notice of meetings are required to be given to members.

No business will be transacted at any meeting of members unless a quorum of members is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. A quorum consists of the holder or holders present in person or by proxy entitled to exercise at least 50 percent of the voting rights of the shares of each class or series of shares entitled to vote as a class or series thereon and the same proportion of the votes of the remaining shares entitled to vote thereon.

A member of the Company shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of members if:

●

he or his proxy participates by telephone or other electronic means; and

●

all members and proxies participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.

The inadvertent failure of the directors to give notice of a meeting to a member or the fact that a member has not received a notice that has been properly given, shall not invalidate the meeting.

Limitations on Ownership of Securities

There are no limitations on the right of non-residents or foreign persons to own our securities imposed by BVI law or by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

Change in Control of Company

The board of directors is empowered to issue preferred shares with such rights attaching to them as they decide and such power could be used in a manner that would delay, defer or prevent a change of control of our company.

Ownership Threshold

There are no provisions governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed imposed by BVI law or by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

Differences in Corporate Law

BVI law differs from laws applicable to U.S. corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the significant differences between the provisions of BVI law applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders.

Protection for Minority Shareholders

Under the laws of most U.S. jurisdictions, majority and controlling shareholders of a company generally have certain “fiduciary” responsibilities to the minority shareholders. Corporate actions taken by majority and controlling shareholders which are unreasonable and materially detrimental to the interests of minority shareholders may be declared null and void. Minority shareholders may have less protection for their rights under BVI law than they would have under U.S. law.

Powers of Directors

Unlike most U.S. jurisdictions, the directors of a BVI company, subject in certain cases to court approval but without shareholders’ approval, may implement the sale, transfer, exchange or disposition of any Company asset, property, part of the business, or securities, with the exception that shareholder approval is required for the disposition of over 50% in the value of our total assets.

Conflict of Interests

Similar to the laws of most U.S. jurisdictions, when a director becomes aware of the fact that he has an interest in a transaction which we are to enter into, he must disclose it to our Board. However, with sufficient disclosure of interest in relation to that transaction, the director who is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by us may (i) vote on a matter relating to the transaction; (ii) attend a meeting of directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included in the quorum; and (iii) sign a document on behalf of us, or do any other thing in his capacity as a director, that relates to the transaction.

Written Consent and Cumulative Voting

Similar to the laws of most U.S. jurisdictions, under BVI law, shareholders are permitted to approve matters by way of written resolution in place of a formal meeting. BVI law does not make a specific reference to cumulative voting, and our current articles of association have no provisions authorizing cumulative voting.

Takeover Provisions

Some provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable. For instance, our directors are empowered to amend the relevant provisions of the memorandum of association for the purposes of creating new classes or series of shares and the rights attached thereto and may amend the articles of association to take into account any ancillary changes required, provided that the directors do not, however, have the power to amend the memorandum and articles of Association to (a) restrict the rights or powers of the members to amend the memorandum or articles of association, (b) to change the percentage of members required to pass a resolution to amend the memorandum and articles of association, or (c) in circumstances where the memorandum or articles of association cannot be amended by the members.

Shareholder’s Access to Corporate Records

Under the Act, a member of a business company may, on giving written notice to a company, inspect the company’s memorandum and articles, the register of shareholders, the register of directors and the minutes of meetings and resolutions of shareholders and of those classes of shareholders of which he is a member.

The directors may, if they are satisfied that it would be contrary to our interests to allow a member to inspect any document listed above (or any part thereof), deny or limit the inspection of the document.

Indemnification

BVI law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the BVI courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

We shall indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person who (i) is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, an officer or a liquidator of us; or (ii) is or was, at our request, serving as a director, officer or liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. To be entitled to indemnification, these persons must have acted honestly and in good faith and in what they believe to be our best interest, and in the case of criminal proceedings, they must have had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements

Under the laws of the BVI, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with Section 170 of the Act. A merger means the merging of two or more constituent companies into one of the constituent companies, and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a new company. In order to merge or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation which must be authorized by a resolution of shareholders.

While a director may vote on the plan even if he has a financial interest in the plan, in order for the resolution to be valid, the material facts of the interest and the director’s relationship to any party to the transaction must be disclosed and the resolution approved (1) without counting the vote or consent of any interested director, or (2) by the unanimous vote or consent of all disinterested directors if the votes or consents of all disinterested directors is insufficient to approve a resolution of directors.

Shareholders not otherwise entitled to vote on the merger or consolidation may still acquire the right to vote if the plan of merger or consolidation contains any provision which, if proposed as an amendment to the memorandum or articles of association, would entitle them to vote as a class or series on the proposed amendment. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote at the meeting or consent to the written resolution to approve the plan of merger or consolidation.

The shareholders of the constituent companies are not required to receive shares of the surviving or consolidated company but may receive debt obligations or other securities of the surviving or consolidated company, or other assets, or a combination thereof. Further, some or all of the shares of a class or series may be converted into a kind of asset while the other shares of the same class or series may receive a different kind of asset. As such, not all the shares of a class or series must receive the same kind of consideration.

After the plan of merger or consolidation has been approved by the directors and authorized by a resolution of the shareholders, articles of merger or consolidation are executed by each company and filed with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the BVI.

Dissenter Rights

A shareholder may dissent from a mandatory redemption of his shares, an arrangement (if permitted by the court), a merger (unless the shareholder was a shareholder of the surviving company prior to the merger and continues to hold the same or similar shares after the merger) and a consolidation. A shareholder properly exercising his dissent rights is entitled to payment in cash of the fair value of his shares.

A shareholder dissenting from a merger or consolidation must object in writing to the merger or consolidation before the vote by the shareholders on the merger or consolidation, unless notice of the meeting was not given to the shareholder. If the merger or consolidation is approved by the shareholders, the company must within 20 days give notice of this fact to each shareholder who gave written objection, and to each shareholder who did not receive notice of the meeting. Such shareholders then have 20 days to give their written election in the form specified by the Act to dissent from the merger or consolidation, provided that in the case of a merger, the 20 days starts when the plan of merger is delivered to the shareholder.

Upon giving notice of his election to dissent, a shareholder ceases to have any rights of a shareholder except the right to be paid the fair value of his shares. As such, the merger or consolidation may proceed in the ordinary course notwithstanding the dissent.

Within seven days of the later of the delivery of the notice of election to dissent and the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the company must make a written offer to each dissenting shareholder to purchase his shares at a specified price that the company determines to be their fair value. The company and the shareholder then have 30 days to agree upon the price. If the company and a shareholder fail to agree on the price within the 30 days, then the company and the shareholder shall each designate an appraiser and these two appraisers shall designate a third appraiser. These three appraisers shall fix the fair value of the shares as of the close of business on the day before the shareholders approved the transaction without taking into account any change in value as a result of the transaction.

Under BVI law, shareholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights in relation to a liquidation.

Shareholders’ Suits

Similar to the laws of most U.S. jurisdictions, BVI law permits derivative actions against its directors. However, the circumstances under which such actions may be brought, and the procedures and defenses available may result in the rights of shareholders of a BVI company being more limited than those of shareholders of a company incorporated and/or existing in the United States.

The courts of the BVI may, on the application of a shareholder of a company, grant leave to that shareholder to bring proceedings in the name and on behalf of that company, or intervene in proceedings to which the company is a party for the purpose of continuing, defending or discontinuing the proceedings on behalf of the company. In determining whether to grant leave, the courts must take into account (1) whether the shareholder is acting in good faith; (2) whether the derivative action is in the interests of the company taking account of the views of the company’s directors on commercial matters; (3) whether the proceedings are likely to succeed; (4) the costs of the proceedings in relation to the relief likely to be obtained; and (5) whether an alternative remedy to the derivative claim is available.

Leave to bring or intervene in proceedings may be granted only if the court is satisfied that (1) the company does not intend to bring, diligently continue or defend, or discontinue the proceedings, as the case may be; or (2) it is in the interests of the company that the conduct of the proceedings should not be left to the directors or to the determination of the shareholders as a whole.

Changes in Capital

Subject to the provisions of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Act, our unissued shares shall be at the disposal of the directors who may, without prejudice to any rights previously conferred on the holders of any existing shares or class or series of shares, offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of the shares to such persons, at such times and upon such terms and conditions as we may by resolution of directors determine.

Subject to the provisions of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to changes in the rights of shareholders and the powers of directors in relation to preferred shareholders, we may, by a resolution of members or a resolution of directors, amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to increase or decrease the number of ordinary shares authorized to be issued.

Material Contracts

We have not entered into any material contracts other than in the ordinary course of business and other than those described in Item 4, “Information on the Company,” Item 7, “Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions,” or Item 5, “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Contractual Obligations,” or filed (or incorporated by reference) as exhibits to this annual report or otherwise described or referenced in this annual report.

Exchange Controls

BVI Exchange Controls

There are no material exchange controls restrictions on payment of dividends, interest or other payments to the holders of our ordinary shares or on the conduct of our operations in the BVI, where we were incorporated. There are no material BVI laws that impose any material exchange controls on us or that affect the payment of dividends, interest or other payments to nonresident holders of our ordinary shares. BVI law and our memorandum and articles of association do not impose any material limitations on the right of non-residents or foreign owners to hold or vote our ordinary shares.

PRC Exchange Controls

Under the Foreign Currency Administration Rules promulgated in 1996 and revised in 1997, and various regulations issued by SAFE and other relevant PRC government authorities, RMB is convertible into other currencies without prior approval from SAFE only to the extent of current account items, such as trade related receipts and payments, interest and dividends and after complying with certain procedural requirements. The conversion of RMB into other currencies and remittance of the converted foreign currency outside PRC for the purpose of capital account items, such as direct equity investments, loans and repatriation of investment, requires the prior approval from SAFE or its local office. Payments for transactions that take place within China must be made in RMB. Unless otherwise approved, PRC companies must repatriate foreign currency payments received from abroad. Foreign-invested enterprises may retain foreign exchange in accounts with designated foreign exchange banks subject to a cap set by SAFE or its local office. Unless otherwise approved, domestic enterprises must convert all of their foreign currency proceeds into RMB.

On October 21, 2005, SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fund-raising and Reverse Investment Activities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, which became effective as of November 1, 2005. According to the notice, a special purpose company, or SPV, refers to an offshore company established or indirectly controlled by PRC residents for the special purpose of carrying out financing of their assets or equity interest in PRC domestic enterprises. Prior to establishing or assuming control of an SPV, each PRC resident, whether a natural or legal person, must complete the overseas investment foreign exchange registration procedures with the relevant local SAFE branch. The notice applies retroactively. As a result, PRC residents who have established or acquired control of these SPVs that previously made onshore investments in China were required to complete the relevant overseas investment foreign exchange registration procedures by March 31, 2006. These PRC residents must also amend the registration with the relevant SAFE branch in the following circumstances: (i) the PRC residents have completed the injection of equity investment or assets of a domestic company into the SPV; (ii) the overseas funding of the SPV has been completed; (iii) there is a material change in the capital of the SPV. Under the rules, failure to comply with the foreign exchange registration procedures may result in restrictions being imposed on the foreign exchange activities of the violator, including restrictions on the payment of dividends and other distributions to its offshore parent company, and may also subject the violators to penalties under the PRC foreign exchange administration regulations.

On August 29, 2008, SAFE promulgated Circular 142 which regulates the conversion by a foreign-funded enterprise of foreign currency into RMB by restricting how the converted RMB may be used. In addition, SAFE promulgated Circular 45 on November 9, 2011 in order to clarify the application of Circular 142. Under Circular 142 and Circular 45, the RMB capital converted from foreign currency registered capital of a foreign-invested enterprise may only be used for purposes within the business scope approved by the applicable government authority and may not be used for equity investments within the PRC. In addition, SAFE strengthened its oversight of the flow and use of the RMB capital converted from foreign currency registered capital of foreign-invested enterprises. The use of such RMB capital may not be changed without SAFE’s approval, and such RMB capital may not in any case be used to repay RMB loans if the proceeds of such loans have not been used. Violations of Circular 142 and Circular 45 could result in severe penalties, such as heavy fines as set out in the relevant foreign exchange control regulations

SAFE also promulgated Circular 59 in November 2010, which tightens the regulation over settlement of net proceeds from overseas offerings and requires, among other things, the authenticity of settlement of net proceeds from offshore offerings to be closely examined and the net proceeds to be settled in the manner described in the offering documents

In May, 2013 SAFE promulgated Circular 21 which provides for and simplifies the operational steps and regulations on foreign exchange matters related to direct investment by foreign investors, including foreign exchange registration, account opening and use, receipt and payment of funds, and settlement and sales of foreign exchange.

Taxation

The following is a general summary of certain material BVI and U.S. federal income tax considerations. The discussion is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, legal or tax advice to any particular shareholder or prospective shareholder. The discussion is based on laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change or different interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect.

BVI Taxation

The BVI does not impose a withholding tax on dividends paid to holders of our ordinary or preferred shares, nor does the BVI levy any capital gains or income taxes on us. Further, a holder of our ordinary or preferred shares who is not a resident of the BVI is exempt from the BVI income tax on dividends paid with respect to the ordinary or preferred shares. Holders of ordinary or preferred shares are not subject to the BVI income tax on gains realized on the sale or disposition of the ordinary or preferred shares.

Our ordinary or preferred shares are not subject to transfer taxes, stamp duties or similar charges in the BVI. However, as a company incorporated under the BVI Act, we are required to pay the BVI government an annual license fee based on the number of shares we are authorized to issue.

There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the BVI.

Taxation in China

We are a holding company incorporated in the BVI, which indirectly holds our equity interests in our PRC operating subsidiaries. The EIT Law and its implementation rules, both of which became effective as of January 1, 2008, provide that a PRC enterprise is subject to a standard income tax rate of 25% and China-sourced income of foreign enterprises, such as dividends paid by a PRC subsidiary to its overseas parent, will normally be subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of 10%, unless there are applicable treaties between the overseas parent’s jurisdiction of incorporation and China to reduce such rate.

Under the Arrangement between the Mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income, or the Double Taxation Arrangement, effective as of January 1, 2007, such dividend withholding tax rate is reduced to 5% if a Hong Kong resident enterprise owns over 25% of the PRC company distributing the dividends. Under the aforesaid arrangement, any dividends that our PRC operating subsidiaries pay to their Hong Kong holding company may be subject to a withholding tax at the rate of 5% if they are not considered to be a PRC “resident enterprise” as described below. However, if the Hong Kong holdings company is not considered to be the “beneficial owner” of such dividends under the Notice Regarding Interpretation and Recognition of Beneficial Owners under Tax Treaties promulgated by the State Administration of Taxation on October 27, 2009 (and not a PRC “resident enterprise”), such dividends would be subject to the withholding tax rate of 10%. The withholding tax rate of 5% or 10% applicable will have a significant impact on the amount of dividends to be received by us and ultimately by shareholders.

According to the Notice Regarding Interpretation and Recognition of Beneficial Owners under Tax Treaties, the term “beneficial owner” refers to a person who has the right to own and dispose of the income and the rights or properties generated from the said income. The “beneficial owner” may be an individual, a company or any other organization which is usually engaged in substantial business operations. A conduit company is not a “beneficial owner.” The term “conduit company” refers to a company which is usually established for purposes of dodging or reducing taxes, and transferring or accumulating profits. Such a company is only registered in the country of domicile to satisfy the organizational form as required by law, but it does not engage in such substantial business operations as manufacturing, distribution and management. As our Hong Kong holding company is a controlling company and is not engaged in substantial business operations, it could be considered as a conduit company by tax authorities and we do not expect it to be a beneficial owner.

In addition to the changes to the current tax structure, under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a resident enterprise and will normally be subject to an EIT of 25% on its global income. The implementing rules define the term “de facto management bodies” as “an establishment that exercises, in substance, overall management and control over the production, business, personnel, accounting, etc., of a Chinese enterprise.”

It remains unclear whether the PRC tax authorities would require or permit our overseas registered entities to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. We do not currently consider our company to be a PRC resident enterprise. However, if the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as interest on offering proceeds and non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, although under the EIT Law and its implementing rules dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiaries would qualify as “tax-exempt income,” we cannot guarantee that such dividends will not be subject to a 10% withholding tax, as the PRC foreign exchange control authorities, which enforce the withholding tax, have not yet issued guidance with respect to the processing of outbound remittances to entities that are treated as resident enterprises for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Finally, it is possible that future guidance issued with respect to the new “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends we pay to our non-PRC shareholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-PRC shareholders from transferring our shares.

Taxation in Hong Kong

Hong Kong profits tax is chargeable on income arising in or derived from trade or business carried out in Hong Kong at a rate of 16.5%. Our Hong Kong subsidiary has not carried out any business operation in Hong Kong and no profits tax is chargeable to our subsidiary.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation

The following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares. It does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular person’s situation. The discussion applies only to holders that hold their ordinary shares as capital assets (generally property held for investment) within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. This discussion is based on the Code, income tax regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial positions, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, and other applicable authorities, all as in effect as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion is general in nature and is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations, nor does the discussion address any state, local or foreign tax considerations or any U.S. tax considerations (e.g., estate or gift tax) other than U.S. federal income tax considerations, that may be applicable to particular holders.

This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant in light of particular circumstances, nor does it address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to persons who are subject to special rules under U.S. federal income tax law, including:

●	banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;
●	persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;
●	tax-exempt organizations;
●	controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;
●	certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;
●	dealers in securities or currencies;
●	traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;
●	persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than five percent of our capital stock;
●	holders who acquired our stock as compensation or pursuant to the exercise of a stock option; or
●	persons who hold our shares as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” or other risk reduction transaction.

For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. holder is (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (ii) a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States (or treated as such under applicable U.S. tax laws), any state thereof, or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or (iv) a trust if (a) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) it has a valid election in effect under applicable law and regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A non-U.S. holder is a holder that is neither a U.S. holder nor a partnership or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

In the case of a partnership or entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners of partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of the merger or of the ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares.

Distributions

We do not currently anticipate paying distributions on our ordinary shares. In the event that distributions are paid, however, the gross amount of such distributions will be included in the gross income of the U.S. holder as dividend income on the date of receipt to the extent that the distribution is paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Such dividends will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations. Dividends received by non-corporate U.S. holders, including individuals, may be subject to reduced rates of taxation under current law. A U.S. holder may be eligible to claim a foreign tax credit with respect to any PRC withholding tax imposed on dividends paid by us. However, the foreign tax credit rules are complex, and their application in connection with Section 7874 of the Code and the Agreement Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the People’s Republic of China for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Tax Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income, or the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty, is not entirely clear at this time. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to any benefits they may be entitled to under the foreign tax credit rules and the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty.

To the extent that dividends paid on our ordinary shares exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distributions will be treated first as a tax-free return of tax basis on our ordinary shares, and to the extent that the amount of the distribution exceeds tax basis, the excess will be treated as gain from the disposition of those ordinary shares.

Sale or Other Disposition

U.S. holders of our ordinary shares will recognize taxable gain or loss on any sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of ordinary shares equal to the difference between the amount realized for the ordinary shares and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the ordinary shares. This gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss. Under current law, non-corporate U.S. holders, including individuals, are eligible for reduced tax rates if the ordinary shares have been held for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. A U.S. holder may be eligible to claim a foreign tax credit with respect to any PRC withholding tax imposed on gain from the sale or other disposition of ordinary shares. However, the foreign tax credit rules are complex, and their application in connection with Section 7874 of the Code and the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty is not entirely clear at this time. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to any benefits they may be entitled to under the foreign tax credit rules and the U.S.-PRC Tax Treaty.

Unearned Income Medicare Contribution

Certain U.S. holders who are individuals, trusts or estates are required to pay an additional 3.8% Medicare tax on, among other things, dividends on and capital gains from the sale or other disposition of shares of stock for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012. U.S. holders should consult their own advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this legislation on their ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance provisions of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act (generally referred to as “FATCA”), when applicable, will impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on certain “withholdable payments” (generally certain U.S.-source income, including dividends, and the gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of assets producing U.S. source dividends or interest ) to foreign financial institutions and other non-U.S. entities that fail to comply with certain certification and information reporting (generally relating to ownership by U.S persons of interests in or accounts with those entities). The obligation to withhold under FATCA applies to, among other items, (i) U.S.-source dividend income that is paid on or after July 1, 2014 and (ii) to gross proceeds from the disposition of property that can produce U.S.-source dividends paid on or after January 1, 2017. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors concerning application of FATCA to our ordinary shares in their particular circumstances.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of dividends or of proceeds on the disposition of stock made to a holder of our ordinary shares may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding at a current rate of 28% unless such holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number on IRS Form W-9 (or other appropriate withholding form) or establishes an exemption from backup withholding, for example by properly certifying the holder’s non-U.S. status on a Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or another appropriate version of IRS Form W-8. Payments of dividends to holders must generally be reported annually to the IRS, along with the name and address of the holder and the amount of tax withheld, if any. A similar report is sent to the holder. Pursuant to applicable income tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make these reports available to tax authorities in the holder’s country of residence.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, the U.S. income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

ITEM 11.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We are not exposed to significant interest rate risk as we do not have any significant bank loans which bear interest at a variable prime rate.

Foreign Exchange Risk

While our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar, substantially all of our consolidated revenues and consolidated costs and expenses are denominated in RMB. All of our assets are denominated in RMB except for cash. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and RMB. If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. Dollar, the value of our RMB revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. Dollar financial statements will decline. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and shareholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any resulting translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are included in determining other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.

Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. While we may enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these transactions may be limited, and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all. In addition, our foreign currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into foreign currencies.

Inflation

Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have identified certain material weaknesses in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and have thus concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective. A "material weakness" is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. This material weakness and control deficiency identified primarily related to absence of a Chief Financial Officer with appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of U.S. GAAP. Also, the Company did not have a proper segregation of duties in certain areas of its financial reporting process.

Following the identification of the material weakness and other control deficiencies, we have taken measures and plan to continue to take measures to remedy the weakness and deficiencies, including (1) hiring additional accounting personnel with understanding of U.S. GAAP and experience with SEC reporting requirements, and (2) providing external and internal training to our accounting personnel. (3) hiring consultants to improve our internal control. However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address this material weakness and other control deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting, and we cannot conclude that they have been fully remedied. We are not able to estimate with reasonable certainty the costs that we will need to incur to implement these and other measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to establish an effective system of internal controls, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our equity and/or debt may be adversely impacted.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act defines internal control over financial reporting as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

●

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

●

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

●

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. 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 assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on our assessment we determined that, as of December 31, 2016, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on those criteria.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16A.

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

Our board of directors has determined that Ms. Huang meets the criteria for an “audit committee financial expert,” as established by the SEC.

Ms. Huang will not be deemed an “expert” for any other purpose, including, without limitation, for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of Ms. Huang as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on her any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations and liability imposed on her as a member of our audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification.

ITEM 16B.

CODE OF ETHICS

We have not adopted a code ethics. However, we intend to adopt a code of ethics in the future. We envision that the code of ethics will apply to all of our employees, officers and directors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF CHINA NETWORKS INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS, LTD

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of China Networks International Holdings, Ltd (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audit 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 audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of China Networks International Holdings, Ltd as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Notes 1 and 4, the Company has limited operations and did not generate any revenue for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016. This condition raises substantial doubt about China Networks International Holdings Ltd’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 – Organization

China Networks International Holdings, Ltd. (“CNIH” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 16, 2006 as Alyst Acquisition Corp. (“Alyst”) in order to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of an operating business in any industry, with a focus on the telecommunications industry, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination. Alyst’s initial shareholders purchased 1,750,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), in a private placement. On July 5, 2007, Alyst consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 8,044,400 of its units (“Units”). Each Unit consisted of one share of Common Stock and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, Alyst consummated a private placement of 1,820,000 warrants, each warrant entitled upon exercise to one share of Common Stock at an exercise prices of $5.00 per share.

On June 24, 2009, Alyst announced that Alyst's stockholders approved its proposed redomestication to the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) and its proposed business combination with China Networks Media, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“China Networks”). Alyst redomesticated to the British Virgin Islands through a merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, CNIH, effective June 24, 2009, with CNIH as the surviving entity.

As the result of consummation of the business combination, China Networks’ common and preferred shares were converted automatically into 9,422,760 CNIH common shares; therefore China Networks shareholders own approximately 73% of voting equity interests of CNIH. The business combination is considered a reverse acquisition with China Networks as the accounting acquirer. As such, the historical financial information presented herein prior to June 29, 2009 relates to the financial position and results of operations of China Networks.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION (Cont’d)

Establishment of Joint Ventures between ANT and the PRC TV Stations

Establishment of Joint Ventures. In 2008, China Networks established certain equity joint ventures with the state owned PRC TV Stations through its Hong Kong wholly-owned subsidiary, ANT. ANT established the equity joint venture Taiyuan JV with China Yellow River TV Station (“YR TV Station”) in Shanxi Province in June 2008; and established an equity joint venture Kunming JV with Kunming TV Station in Yunnan Province in July 2008 (Taiyuan JV and Kunming JV are collectively referred to as the “JV Tech Cos”, and YR TV Station and Kunming TV Station are collectively referred to as the “PRC TV Stations”). ANT holds 50% equity interest in the Kunming JV and Taiyuan JV, respectively, and Kunming TV Station and YR TV Station own the remaining 50% of the respective JV Tech Cos. Under the terms of the Kunming JV agreement, Kunming TV Station will contribute certain assets and contractual rights (see Exclusive cooperation agreement below) with a fair value of RMB150 million (approximately $21,900,000) and ANT will contribute an equal amount in cash. Kunming TV Station and ANT have contributed 100% and 50%, respectively, of their obligations under this agreement at both December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. ANT is required to contribute the outstanding amount in twelve months after the establishment of Kunming JV. ANT has entered into a supplemental agreement with Kunming TV Station to extend the payment schedule of the outstanding cash contribution until April 30, 2010. ANT has contributed 100% of its obligation under this supplemental agreement before April 30, 2010. Under the terms of the Taiyuan JV agreement, YR TV Station will contribute certain assets and contractual rights (see Exclusive cooperation agreement below) with a fair value of RMB45 million (approximately $6,600,000) and ANT will contribute an equal amount in cash. YR TV Station and ANT have contributed 100% before December 31, 2009. The Company subsequently disposed its interest in Kunming JV to Kunming TV station on December 14, 2010 (see paragraph “Disposal of Kunming JV and Kunming Ad Co.” below).

Exclusive Cooperation Agreement. Pursuant to the Exclusive Cooperation Agreement between the JV Tech Cos and the PRC TV Stations, the PRC TV Stations have exclusively and irrevocably granted to the JV Tech Cos the right to carry out advertising operations on its channels, and to provide to the JV Tech Cos all necessary and relevant support, as well as most-favored terms for the conduct of the advertising business. The PRC TV Stations share their resources with the JV Tech Cos, including, but not limited to, all client information (e.g. databases). Under the terms of this agreement, the PRC TV Stations will not engage any other party in any similar agreements. As such, the JV Tech Co’s has the exclusive right to carry out advertising business on PRC TV Stations’ channels.

Kunming JV and Kunming TV Station entered into such Exclusive Cooperation Agreement on August 6, 2008, while Taiyuan JV and YR TV Station entered such Exclusive Cooperation agreement on July 17, 2008.

Establishment of Trustee Company. In August 2008, Hetong, the trustee company, established two domestic advertising companies with Kunming TV Station and YR TV Station, under the respective name of Kunming Taishi Advertising Co., Ltd. (“Kunming Ad Co.”) and Taiyuan Guangwang Hetong Advertising Co., Ltd. (“Taiyuan Ad Co.”) (Kunming Ad Co. and Taiyuan Ad Co. are collectively referred to as the “JV Ad Cos”). Hetong is 100% owned by two PRC nationals, who are the trustees.

In order to comply with current PRC laws limiting foreign ownership in the television advertising industry, China Networks’ operations are conducted through direct ownership of ANT and through contractual arrangements with Hetong. China Networks does not have an equity interest in Hetong, but instead derives indirect economic benefits from Hetong through a series of contractual arrangements. Through these arrangements, ANT controls Hetong, which in turn owns 50% of Kunming Ad Cos, and 50% of Taiyuan Ad Co. established with PRC TV Stations. The JV Tech Cos collect the television advertising revenue earned by the JV Ad Cos pursuant to an Exclusive Services Agreement, using assets transferred from PRC TV Stations to the JV Tech Cos pursuant to an Asset Transfer Agreement.

Asset Transfer Agreements. Kunming TV Station and Kunming JV entered into an Asset Transfer Agreement on August 11, 2008, under which Kunming TV Station will transfer certain of its assets and contractual rights to Kunming JV, valued at RMB150 million, and Kunming JV will pay the same to Kunming TV Station. YR TV Station and Shanxi Yellow River and Advertising Networks Cartoon Technology Co., Ltd. (“Taiyuan JV”) also entered into such Asset Transfer Agreement on July 17, 2008, under which YR TV Station will transfer certain of its asset and contractual rights, valued at RMB45 million, to Taiyuan JV, and the same consideration will be paid by Taiyuan JV. All governmental, statutory and other approvals required for the transfer of these assets were obtained as of the date of the first transfer in August 2008. Taiyuan JV paid YR TV Station RMB45 million (approximately $6.6 million) under this agreement before December 31, 2009. Kunming JV paid RMB85 million (approximately $12.4 million) to Kunming TV Station before December 31, 2009 and the remaining RMB 65 million (approximately $9.7 million) within 2010 under the Kunming Asset Transfer Agreement.

Exclusive Services Agreement. Pursuant to the Exclusive Services Agreement between the JV Tech Cos and the JV Ad Cos, the JV Tech Cos will be the sole and exclusive provider of services to JV Ad Cos relating to technical support for the production of advertising and advertising consulting. In addition, the JV Ad Cos will be the sole and exclusive advertising agent to the JV Tech Cos and will grant to the JV Ad Cos agency rights for all advertising under the exclusive right to carry out advertising operations, granted by the corresponding PRC TV Stations to the JV Tech Cos in accordance with the Exclusive Cooperation Agreement. Under the terms of the Exclusive Services Agreement, the JV Ad Cos will pay the service fee to the JV Tech Cos as accrued, in accordance with the JV Tech Cos’ regular invoices. As such, all of the JV Ad Cos’ pre-tax revenue (less the relevant business tax) generated during the term of this agreement and relating to the marketing of advertising and other operations will be transferred to the JV Tech Cos as the service fee.

Kunming JV and Kunming Ad Co. entered into an Exclusive Services Agreement on August 6, 2008, while Taiyuan JV and Taiyuan Ad Co. entered into an Exclusive Services Agreement on July 17, 2008.

ASC 810 “Consolidation” addresses financial reporting for entities over which control is achieved through a means other than voting rights. In accordance with the requirements of ASC 810, China Networks has evaluated its relationships with the JV Ad Cos. The JV Ad Cos are considered variable interest entities (‘‘VIEs’’) as defined by ASC 810. Through contractual arrangements with JV Ad Cos through Hetong, China Networks is considered the primary beneficiary of the JV Ad Cos as China Networks absorbs a majority of the risk and rewards of those entities. As such, China Networks consolidates the financial statements of the JV Ad Cos pursuant to ASC 810 as of the date their formation as described above.

Disposal of Kunming JV and Kunming Ad Co. Due to the Company's strategic plan on the restructuring and integration of Kunming assets, on September 1, 2010, CNIH entered into two agreements with its joint venture partner, Kunming TV Station, on the sale of the Company's assets in Kunming JV and Kunming Ad Co., which are located in Yunnan Province in the PRC, with a total consideration of $22.6 million (RMB150 million) and $0.1 million (RMB 0.7 million), respectively. On December 14, 2010, Kunming JV and Kunming Ad Co. were sold back to the Kunming TV Station. The disposition was completed on December 15, 2010. $19.9 million of the proceeds was received for the year end December 31, 2011; $1.6 million was received subsequent to December 2011. All remaining was received by the end of December 2013. The proceeds of the sale of the Company's Kunming assets have been used to deliver an early repayment to holders of the Company's $11 million senior secured convertible debentures.

Establishment of Joint Ventures between ANT and the PRC TV Stations (Cont’d)

Termination of Business Contract with YR TV Station. Due to the TV broadcasting internal restructuring of Shanxi Province in the PRC, YR TV station had merged with Shanxi Broadcasting Group since January 2011, YR TV Station has since then unilaterally terminated the Taiyuan JV agreement with ANT (see paragraph “Establishment of Joint Ventures” and “Exclusive Services Agreement” above). The Company had filed an arbitration to China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (“CIETAC”) to claim YR TV Station the amount of approximately RMB54 million (approximately $8,571,000) on October 9, 2011. The claim was amended in April 2012 to raise the damage sought to RMB 81,417,196 (approximately $12,900,000).

After the conclusion of several hearings, CIETAC repeatedly postponed the date on which to issue an arbitral award. For strategic reasons, ANT submitted an arbitration withdrawal application to CIETAC on February 17, 2013 and received a Withdrawal Decision on March 18, 2013. The Company is working on other channels to recover the above amount and up to the date of report is still in progress. There's no initial agreement been signed with YR TV Station.

In connection with the termination of the cooperation agreement and the transfer of the advertising business, Shanxi TV has also taken, as its own, the RMB 45,000,000 of registered capital contributed by the Company to the Yellow River JV. While the Company acknowledges the right of the PRC government to change policies and rules with respect to agreements with state-owned entities, such as Shanxi TV, however the Company believes that the return of the RMB 45,000,000 contributed to the Yellow River JV by the Company must be returned to the Company. The Company has attempted, in good faith, to negotiate a settlement with respect to the funds, however, to date Shanxi TV has refused to return the funds to the Company or enter into any settlement agreement.

Accordingly, all the assets and liabilities as affected by the arbitration were grouped together under heading “Receivables from YR TV Station” in note 4 and “Payables to YR TV Station” in note 7.

Going Concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company did not generate any revenue during the three-year period ended December 31, 2016 and had net cash used in operating activities for each of those years, which have had a significant adverse impact on its business and continue to negatively impact its projected future liquidity. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors, including, among other things, the outcome of the YR TV Station litigation as described above, and sourcing new stream of revenue and operations. The Company also plans to settle the accrued dividend by issuance of pay-in-kind shares to preferred shareholders. The Company expects that it will need to raise substantial additional capital to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. In addition, the Company may wish to selectively pursue possible acquisitions of businesses complementary to those of the Company in the future in order to expand its presence in the marketplace and achieve operating efficiencies. The Company expects to seek to obtain additional funding through a bank credit facility or private equity. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available. If the Company is successful in enforcing the arbitral awards and receiving all of the RMB 90 million (approximately $13,859,800) from Shanxi TV, a portion of the funds will be used to redeem all or a portion of the Class A Preferred Shares that remain outstanding at such time.

Basis of presentation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Principles of consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (CONT’D)

Valuation of long-lived assets– The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.

Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.

Please read Note 4 – “Receivables and Other Assets from YR TV Station under Arbitration for a discussion of impairment charges the Company recognized in 2011 related to our investment in YR JV and YR Ad Co.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Accounting standards require the categorization of financial assets and liabilities, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The various levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.

Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Accounting standards require the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For certain financial instruments, including cash, dividend payable, accrued liabilities, due to related parties and payable to TV station, it was assumed that the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the near term maturities of such obligations.

Cash and cash equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash accounts, interest bearing savings accounts and time certificates of deposit with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.

Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from balances outstanding at the period end. Allowances for doubtful accounts receivable balances are recorded when circumstances indicate that collection is doubtful for particular accounts receivable or as a general reserve for all accounts receivable. Management estimates such allowances based on historical evidence such as amounts that are subject to risk and customer credit worthiness. Accounts receivable are written off if reasonable collection efforts are not successful.

Management periodically reviews the outstanding account balances for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Comprehensive income (loss) – The Company follows the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. For the Company, comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented includes net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments.

note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (CONT’D)

Income taxes – Alyst was subject to US federal, New York State and New York City taxes prior to the redomestication to the BVI through a merger with CNIH. China Networks was originally incorporated in the Cayman Islands and subsequently reincorporated in the BVI. China Networks is not subject to income taxes under the current laws of the Cayman Islands or BVI. PRC entities are subject to the PRC Enterprise Income tax at the applicable rates on taxable income at the commencement of operations.

Income taxes are provided on an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Current tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowable for income tax purpose and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax liabilities or assets are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the financial reporting amounts at each year end. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Foreign Currency – The functional currency of each foreign operation is the local currency. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in United States Dollars (“US$”). Transactions in foreign currencies during the year are translated into US$ at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies on the balance sheet date are translated into US$ at the exchange rates prevailing on that date. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions (if any) are included in the statement of operations.

The JV Tech Cos and JV Ad Cos translate their assets and liabilities into US$ at the current exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses are translated into US$ using the average exchange rate during the period. Gains and losses that result from the translation are included in other comprehensive income/loss.

Earnings per Common Share – The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings per Share, resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per common share assume that outstanding common shares were increased by shares convertible from preferred stock. Since the Company’s common stock equivalents are not dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the basic and diluted earnings per share for those periods are the same.

Use of estimates – The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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. The most significant estimates relate to valuation of program rights and intangible assets, preferred stock valuation, discount on promissory notes, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, depreciation, useful lives of property, taxes, and contingencies. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available and any adjustment could be significant. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.

Non-controlling interest in consolidated financial statements – ASC 810 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2009. Please read note 3 – Noncontrolling Interests for further discussion.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There is no recently issued accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

The Company accounts for and discloses events that occur after the balance sheet but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued through December 31, 2016.

As discussed in Note 1 Organization “Termination of Business Contract with YR TV Station”, the Company was forced to terminate cooperation with its joint venture partner, YR TV Station due to the PRC’s internal restructuring for TV broadcasting business in Shanxi Province, YR TV Station had merged with Shanxi Broadcasting Group. Beginning from December 31, 2011, the carrying value of the assets that are under arbitration is separately presented in the Balance Sheet in the caption “Receivables from YR TV Station under arbitration” and these assets are no longer depreciated.

In April 2012, the Company formally filed arbitration against China YR TV Stations to the CIETAC. CIETAC is the major permanent arbitration institutions in China and responsible for independently and impartially resolves economic and trade disputes by means of arbitration. In this action the Company allege breach of contract by YR TV Station, seeking recovery of capital investment cost plus interest and others totaled RMB54 million (approximately $8,571,000). After the conclusion of several hearings, CIETAC repeatedly postponed the date on which to issue an arbitral award. For strategic reasons, ANT submitted an arbitration withdrawal application to CIETAC on February 17, 2013 and received a Withdrawal Decision on March 18, 2013. On December 12, 2013, ANT filed two arbitration claims against Shanxi TV with the CIETAC to recover more than RMB90 million (approximately $14,867,000) damages.

In this instance, management has assessed the matters based on current information and made judgments concerning their potential outcome, giving consideration to the nature of the claim, the amount, and the probability of success. Management believes it will receive a positive award in the dispute. However, in view of the significant uncertainty on the outcome of the actions, the management recorded an impairment loss of $680,000 in the year 2011 and a further impairment of $3,345,284 in year 2012, which the carrying value was fully impaired.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On March 15, 2016, CIETAC issued two final arbitral awards with the amount of 90 million in total. Among others, the arbitral tribunal found that because Shanxi TV unilaterally terminated the cooperation agreement, it must pay RMB 45 million (approximately $6,929,900) for damages as claimed by Yellow River JV. In addition, Shanxi TV’s termination of the cooperation agreement essentially resulted in its material breach of the asset transfer agreement with Yellow River JV and as a result, Shanxi TV is responsible to return RMB 45 million (approximately $6,929,900) to Yellow River JV that it paid to Shanxi TV. CIETAC further approved of a RMB 0.8 million (approximately $123,200) attorney fee and a RMB115,084.30 (approximately $17,700) arbitration fee against Shanxi TV. The payment of the above fees should be made by Shanxi TV within 30 days after the issuance of the arbitral awards. As of the date of this report, Shanxi TV has not made the payment, and enforcement actions were filed with a local Shanxi court in May 2016. Shanxi TV subsequently applied to the court to withdraw the arbitral awards, but the court rejected such applications in August 2016. In September 2016, Yellow River JV applied to continue the enforcement procedure. Such enforcement actions are still pending. Therefore, in the opinion of the management, no adjustment was made for the reversal of impairment during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Program rights represent (1) programs that were contributed by the PRC TV Stations to the JV Tech Cos as capital, and (2) programs purchased by the JV Tech Cos from the PRC TV Stations in accordance with the joint venture and asset transfer agreements, respectively. Program rights are carried at cost and are amortized over their expected useful life of one year. There was no amortization of program rights in 2013 as the program rights were fully amortized during 2009. The programs included in program rights are those originally produced by the PRC TV Stations and the JV Tech Co’s have ownership of the program rights pursuant to the joint venture and asset transfer agreements.

Intangible assets represent the contractual right to operate the advertising business. Intangible assets are evaluated periodically to determine if expected cash flow generate from the advertising business is sufficient to cover the unamortized portion of the intangible assets. To the extent that expected cash flow is insufficient, the intangible assets are written down to their net realizable value.

Intangible assets are expected to be amortized on a systematic basis over the lives of the Exclusive Cooperation Agreements of 30 years for Taiyuan JV. The Company assessed the recoverability of intangible assets and due to the uncertainties on the dispute with Shanxi TV Station the Company had wholly impaired the intangible assets of $6,506,969 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, based on the weight of available evidence, the Company determined that it was unlikely that the Company’s deferred tax assets would be realized and have provided for a full valuation allowance associated with the net deferred tax assets.
