ASIA8, INC.
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2011
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY
Asia8, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada as H&L Investments, Inc. in September of 1996. On December 22, 1999 the Company changed its name to Asia4sale.com, Inc. on acquiring Asia4Sale.com, Ltd., a Hong Kong registered software development company. The Company sold Asia4Sale.com, Ltd. in January of 2005.
The Company acquired a 49% interest in World Wide Auctioneers, Inc., a Nevada registered corporation, holding 100% of a British Virgin Island registered company World Wide Auctioneers, Ltd (World Wide), an international equipment auction company on June 30, 2000. World Wide, based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) holds unreserved auctions on a consignment basis for the sale of construction, industrial and transportation equipment. On August 8, 2003 World Wide Auctioneers, Inc. sold 100% of World Wide to a Nevada registered company, WWA Group, Inc. (WWA Group) in a stock exchange transaction. The stock exchange caused the Company to acquire a minority equity investment in WWA Group which it accounts for using the equity method. WWA Group sold World Wide to Seven International Holdings, Ltd. (Seven), a Hong Kong registered company, on October 31, 2010, in exchange for Sevens assumption of the assets and liabilities of World Wide subject to certain exceptions. The disposition did not affect WWA Groups interest in Asset Forum, LLC., its ownership of proprietary on-line auction software or its equity interest and debt position in Infrastructure Developments Corp. (Infrastructure) in which it currently holds an unconsolidated 17.75% equity position.
The Company maintains the exclusive rights to distribute Unic Cranes, Atomix boats and Renhe Mobile House products or Wing Houses in the UAE though it has since discontinued distribution efforts in relation to the Unic Crane and Atomix boat products.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, they do not include any adjustments relating to the realization of the carrying value of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has accumulated losses and working capital and cash flows from operations are negative which raises doubt as to the validity of the going concern assumptions. These financials do not include any adjustments to the carrying value of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses and balance sheet classifications used that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate; such adjustments could be material.
NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

ASIA8, INC.
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2011
NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
a. Basis of Presentation, Continued
Our interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S.GAAP) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) for interim financial statements and accounting policies, consistent, in all material respects with those applied in preparing our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, have been included.
Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011 or any future period.

The computations of basic loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements. There are no common stock equivalents outstanding.
c. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. Under the continuous statement approach, the statement would include the components and total of net income, the components and total of other comprehensive income and the total of comprehensive income. Under the two statement approach, the first statement would include the components and total of net income and the second statement would include the components and total of other comprehensive income and the total of comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is effective retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2011-05 on our financial statements.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
c. Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Continued
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirement in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 does not extend the use of fair value but, rather, provides guidance about how fair value should be applied where it already is required and permitted under IFRS or U.S. GAAP. For U.S. GAAP, most of the changes are clarifications of existing guidance or wording changes to align with IFRS 13. ASU 2011-04 is effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption not permitted. In the period of adoption, a reporting entity will be required to disclose a change, if any, in valuation technique and related inputs that result from applying ASU 2011-04 and to quantify the total effect, if practicable. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2011-04 on our financial position, results of operations and disclosures.
Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the financial statements of the Company.
NOTE 4- EQUITY INVESTMENT
In August 2000 the Company paid $970,000 cash to acquire 49% of World Wide Auctioneers, Inc., a Nevada registered company holding 100% of British Virgin Island registered company World Wide Auctioneers, Ltd. In August 2003 World Wide Auctioneers, Inc., sold 100% of its subsidiary World Wide Auctioneers, Ltd., to Nevada registered company WWA Group, Inc. (WWA Group), in a stock for stock transaction whereby the stock of WWA Group was issued directly to owners of World Wide Auctioneers, Inc. The Company was issued 7,525,000 shares of WWA Group in 2003, comprising 47.5% of the issued and outstanding stock of WWA Group. At June 30, 2011, the Company owned 32% of the issued and outstanding WWA Group common stock.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as anticipates, expects, believes, plans, predicts, and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include but are not limited to those discussed in the subsection entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition below. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes hereto included in this report. All information presented herein is based on our period ended June 30, 2011. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
Discussion and Analysis
General
The Companys current focus is to (i) work with WWA Group, Inc. (WWA Group), an unconsolidated entity in which it holds a 32% interest as a means to generate a return on investment, and (ii) coordinate with Infrastructure Developments Corp. (Infrastructure) to distribute Wing House mobile shelter systems. We anticipate that we will require additional capital to market our business and recognize that the recent economic downturn in the global economy has decreased demand for our products that depend on the vitality of the construction sector industry in the Gulf Region.
WWA Group
We invested in World Wide Auctioneers, Ltd. (World Wide) in 2000, anticipating potential future value appreciation in that investment, and possible synergies with our managements experience in Asian product sourcing and World Wides core auction and selling business. World Wides auctions have developed a significant customer base and have achieved consistent revenue and profits that have lead to a dominant market share in Dubai, its primary operating market. In 2003, the Company sold 100% of its investment in World Wide to WWA Group for shares of WWA Group. WWA Group sold World Wide to Seven International Holdings, Ltd., on October 31, 2010.
Since the relationship between the Company and WWA Group is one of common control, we benefit from the contacts and business development opportunities generated by its business activities. We intend to provide additional financial and business support to WWA Group as necessary to help grow the value of our equity interest, and to provide us opportunities that are related to and generated by WWA Group.
The value of our investment in WWA Group has depreciated over time though we believe that it may appreciate in the future. We also believe that our relationships with WWA Group, World Wide, and Infrastructure combined with our access to their selling channels will assist us in the marketing of Wing Houses.
11
Wing House Mobile Shelters
We are displaying and using Wing House office units in World Wides auction yard in Dubai, UAE and are actively marketing the unit to the thousands of visitors to the yard each year. We are offering the units for sale or rental on a 60 day delivery schedule from order date. We are negotiating financing with the manufacturer to spur sales efforts though demand for this type of housing has receded. Infrastructure is tendering and winning various contracts in Asia that may lead to more in house created demand for the units. The Company and Infrastructure will share gross profits made on any sales or rentals generated by Infrastructures efforts.
Expansion Plans into other Businesses
The Company is currently targeting operating businesses and assets that are priced at current market levels that do not rely on expanding economies to generate profit. Since the Companys ability to raise capital for acquisitions is limited our current intention is to rely on stock for stock exchange transactions as a means by which to expand into new business opportunities.
Financial Condition and Business Development Risks
Our financial condition and results of operations will depend primarily on prospective income generated from our investments and/or expansion businesses. Meanwhile, our continued operation is tied to our ability to realize debt or equity financing. Since the Company is currently without income it can provide no assurance that income will be forthcoming or in the event income is realized that such return will provide sufficient cash flows to sustain our operations. We have no commitments for additional debt or equity financing at this time.
Our business development strategy is prone to significant risks and uncertainties which are having an immediate impact on our efforts to realize net cash flow. We have a limited history of generating income. Should we be unable to generate income, the Companys ability to continue its business operations will be in jeopardy.
Results of Operations
During the period ending June 30, 2011, the Company failed to realize revenues from the sale of its products or income from its equity investment, which failure resulted in a continuation of net losses for the period. Nevertheless, the Company remains optimistic that Wing Houses are still in demand and that through our coordinated efforts with Infrastructure we will generate sales of Wing Houses
Revenue
Revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 was $0. The lack of revenues over the comparative periods can be primarily attributed to the effect that a global recession has had on the demand for Wing Houses. We expect revenue in future periods with a return to economic normalization in the global markets and a broadening of Infrastructures business which we expect will create an in house demand for Wing Houses
12
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2011, were $23,639 as compared to $11,611 for the three month period ended June 30, 2010. Operating expenses for the six months period ended June 30, 2011, were $43,940 as compared to $23,904 for the six months period ended June 30, 2010. The increase in expenses over the comparative periods can be primarily attributed to an increase in general and administrative expenses. We expect that operating expenses will decrease until such time as the capital becomes available to us to expand our marketing efforts.
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2011, were $0 as compared to $239 and $479 for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2010 respectively. Depreciation and amortization expenses are expected to increase as we acquire additional assets in the process of expanding our distribution activities.
Other Income/Expense
Other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011, were $685,160 as compared to $27,412 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Other expenses for the six months period ended June 30, 2011, were $692,175 as compared to $439,712 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Other expenses are attributed to the loss on equity investments tied to our interest in WWA Group and a preferred stock dividend. We expect to continue to realize other expenses related to the business operations of WWA Group in the near term.
Net Losses
Net losses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $708,800 as compared to $39,023 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2011, were $736,115 as compared to $463,616 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net loss in the current period can be primarily attributed to the increase in loss from our equity investment WWA Group. We expect to continue to realize net losses until such time as our operations produce revenue and our equity investment provides us a return on investment.
Capital Expenditures
The Company did not spend any significant amounts on capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
The Company may have an income tax benefit resulting from net operating losses to offset any future operating profit. However, the Company has not recorded this benefit in the financial statements because it cannot be assured that it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
Impact of Inflation
The Company believes that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past three years.
13
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $266,276. Our current assets were $4,267 consisting of $5,094 in other assets offset by a negative balance in cash of $827. Our total assets were $990,456 consisting of our current assets and our equity investments totaling $986,189. At June 30, 2011, our current and total liabilities were $270,543 in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Cash flow used in operating activities for the period ended June 30, 2011, was $38,259 as compared to cash flow used in operating activities of $931 for the period ended June 30, 2010. Cash flow used in operating activities in the current period can be attributed to net losses and an increase in current assets. We expect that cash flow used in operating activities will continue to decrease as net losses decrease.
Cash flow provided by investing activities for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, was $0. We expect to use cash flow in investing periods in future periods as capital becomes available to expand our marketing operations.
Cash flow provided by financing activities for the period ended June 30, 2011, was $2,366 as compared to $0 for the period ended June 30, 2010. Cash flow provided by financing activities in the current period can be attributed to increase in a note payable. We expect to continue to have cash flow provided by financing activities in the near term in order to continue operations.
The Companys current assets are insufficient to conduct its business operations over the next twelve (12) months. We will have to seek at least $100,000 in debt or equity financing over the next twelve months to fund our marketing efforts for our Wing Houses and to evaluate other business opportunities. The Company has no current commitments or arrangements with respect to, or immediate sources of this funding. Further, no assurances can be given that funding is available. The Companys shareholders are the most likely source of new funding in the form of loans or equity placements though none have made any commitment for future investment and the Company has no agreement formal or otherwise. The Companys inability to obtain sufficient funding will have a material adverse affect on its ability to continue business operations.
The Company does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The Company had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements.
The Company has no defined benefit plan or contractual commitment with any of its officers or directors.
The Company has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2011, the Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
14
Critical Accounting Policies
In the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in our Form 10-K, the Company discussed those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and our financial position. The Company believes that the accounting principles we utilized conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The preparation of financial statements requires our management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, we evaluate estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. With respect to revenue recognition, we apply the following critical accounting policies in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company intends to generate revenue through the sale of its products on a private, commercial, and industrial basis. Revenue from product sales is recognized at the time the product is shipped and invoiced and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company believes that certain revenue should be recognized as title passes to the customer at the time of shipment.
Going Concern
The Companys auditors have expressed an opinion as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern as a result of an accumulated deficit of $2,189,594 as of December 31, 2010 which increased to $2,925,710 as of June 30, 2011. The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is subject to the ability of the Company to realize a profit and/or obtain funding from outside sources. Managements plan to address the Companys ability to continue as a going concern includes: (i) obtaining funding from the private placement of debt or equity; (ii) realizing revenues from the sale of Wing Houses or additional business opportunities; and (iii) obtaining loans and grants from financial or government institutions. Management believes that it will be able to obtain funding to allow the Company to remain a going concern through the methods discussed above, though there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by the Companys management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on that evaluation, the Companys management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the period ended June 30, 2011, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On August 5, 2009 WWA Group received a Pre-Penalty Notice (Notice) from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). The Notice was issued based on OFACs belief that WWA Group has engaged in certain transactions prohibited by Executive Order(s) and or Regulations promulgated pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701 et seq. in connection with the facilitation of auction related services to Iran and Sudan. The perceived violations have caused OFAC to propose a civil monetary penalty of $4,665,600 be imposed on WWA Group subject to adjustment based on evidence presented in response to the Notice. The Notice process permits us to contact OFAC by telephone to initiate settlement discussions or otherwise provide a written response to the perceived violations within the permitted 30 day notice period prior to the issuance of a Penalty Notice. WWA Group has provided a written response to OFAC that presents evidence to negate the perception that it has operated in contravention of the laws of the U.S. WWA Group remains in discussions with OFAC.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Companys operations and securities are subject to a number of risks. Below we have identified and discussed the material risks that we are likely to face. Should any of the following risks occur, they will adversely affect our operations, business, financial condition and/or operating results as well as the future trading price and/or the value of our securities.
17
Risks Related to the Companys Business
IF THE COMPANY DOES NOT GENERATE SUFFICIENT CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS AND IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO OPERATE ITS BUSINESS, IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY CONTINUE OPERATIONS
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $266,276. We will have to obtain additional working capital from debt or equity placements to effectively continue operations. Although, we have a commitment for the provision of additional working capital, this commitment may prove to be insufficient. Should we be unable to secure additional capital, such condition would cause us to reduce expenditures which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF THE PRODUCTS WE HAVE DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS TO IS CRITICAL TO OUR GROWTH
The Company intends to continue to generate revenue from the sale of mobile shelters and may attempt to generate revenue from cranes and boats in the future. As such, market acceptance of our products is critical. If our prospective customers do not accept or purchase these products, then our revenue, cash flow and/or operating results will be negatively impacted.
WE COMPETE WITH LARGER AND BETTER-FINANCED CORPORATIONS
Competition within the international market for mobile shelters, construction cranes, and boats is intense. While the products we are entitled to distribute are distinguished by next-generation innovations that are more sophisticated, flexible and cost effective than many competitive products currently in the market place, a number of entities offer construction cranes, boats, and mobile shelters and new competitors may enter the market in the future. Some of our existing and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do, including well known multi-national corporations.
AS A DISTRIBUTOR WE DEPEND ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THIRD PARTY MANUFACTURERS
The Company relies on Renhe Manufacturing China to procure Wing House mobile shelters for distribution and may again rely upon Japan-based Furukawa Unic to procure construction cranes and China-based Atomix Boats Co. Ltd., to procure boats for distribution. Our business plan is reliant on the delivery of products from these respective manufacturers, which reliance reduces the level of control we have and exposes us to significant risks such as inadequate capacity, late delivery, substandard quality and higher prices, all of which could adversely affect the Companys performance.
OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER DOES NOT OFFER HIS UNDIVIDED ATTENTION TO THE COMPANY DUE TO HIS DUAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Our chief executive officer does not offer his undivided attention to our business as he also serves as the chief executive officer of WWA Group. His responsibilities cause him to divide his time, the majority of which is dedicated to the management and operation of WWA Group. The division of time however does not necessarily indicate a division of interests as the Company owns approximately 32% of the outstanding shares of WWA Group. Nonetheless, his dual responsibilities may compromise the Companys ability to successfully conduct its business operations.
18
THE COMPANYS SUCCESS DEPENDS ON ITS ABILITY TO RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL
The Companys future success will depend substantially on the continued services and performance of Eric Montandon in addition to the engagement of other key personnel The loss of the services of Eric Montandon could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Our future success also depends on the Companys ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate technical, managerial and sales personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we cannot assure that we will succeed in attracting and retaining such personnel. Our failure to attract and retain the necessary technical, managerial and sales personnel would have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS
International, national and local standards set by governmental regulatory authorities set the regulations by which products are certified across respective territories. Further, climate change legislation and greenhouse gas regulation is becoming increasingly ubiquitous. The products which we intend to distribute are subject to such regulation in addition to national, state and local taxation. Although we believe that we can successfully distribute our products within current governmental regulations it is possible that regulatory changes could negatively impact our operations and cause us to diminish or cease operations.
SALES OF EQUIPMENT FROM WWA GROUPS AUCTIONS MAY HAVE ULTIMATELY ENDED UP IN IRAN, SUDAN OR SYRIA.
Due to the proximity of Iran, Sudan and Syria to WWA Groups auction site, sales records, and statistics on regional spending for used construction equipment, there is reason to believe that some percentage of the equipment sold at WWA Groups auctions prior to May 2007 may have ultimately ended up in Iran, Sudan or Syria. Although WWA Group has never sold equipment to Iran, Sudan or Syria, countries which the U.S. State Department and OFAC have identified as state sponsors of terrorism, and WWA Group has never made any effort to attract consignors or bidders from any country recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism, it is possible that some small percentage of equipment purchased at the auctions was sold to persons or entities that re-exported such equipment to these countries, particularly to Iran.
WWA Group does not believe that the small percentage of sales in question has had any impact on operations, reputation or on shareholder value. However, despite the fact that WWA Group has no knowledge of delivery of equipment purchased at its auctions to Iran, Sudan or Syria, OFAC has proposed that a fine of $4,665,600 be imposed on WWA Group. Although WWA group is in the process of negating the basis for the proposed fine the imposition of such a penalty would have a negative on WWA Groups reputation and could diminish WWA Groups ability to continue as a going concern.
Future Risks Related to the Companys Stock
THE COMPANY INTENDS TO APPLY TO HAVE ITS STOCK QUOTED ON THE OTCBB
The Company has no public trading market for its shares, and we cannot represent to you that a market will ever develop. Nonetheless, we do intend to seek a quotation on the OTCBB. However, there can be no assurance that we will obtain a quotation on the OTCBB or that obtaining a quotation will generate a public trading market for our shares.
19
Further, if we obtain a quotation on the OTCBB, this may limit our ability to raise money in an equity financing since many institutional investors do not consider OTCBB stocks for their portfolios. Therefore, an investors ability to trade our stock might be restricted as only a limited number of market makers quote OTCBB stock Trading volumes in OTCBB stocks are historically lower, and stock prices for OTCBB stocks tend to be more volatile, than stocks traded on an exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market. We may never qualify for trading on an exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market.
THE COMPANYS STOCK PRICE COULD BE VOLATILE
Should a public market for our shares develop, the future market price could be subject to significant volatility and trading volumes could be low. Factors affecting our market price will include:
· perceived prospects;
· negative variances in our operating results, and achievement of key business targets;
· limited trading volume in shares of our common stock in the public market;
· sales or purchases of large blocks of our stock;
· changes in, or our failure to meet, earnings estimates;
· changes in securities analysts buy/sell recommendations;
· differences between our reported results and those expected by investors and securities analysts;
· announcements of new contracts by us or our competitors;
· announcements of legal claims against us;
· market reaction to any acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic investments announced by us;
· developments in the financial markets;
· general economic, political or stock market conditions.
In addition, our future stock price may fluctuate in ways unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. General economic, political and stock market conditions that may affect the market price of our common stock are beyond our control. The market price of our common stock at any particular time may not remain the market price in the future. In the past, securities class action litigation has been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. Any such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of managements attention and resources.
We incur significant expenses as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which expenses may continue to negatively impact our financial performance.
We incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules implemented by the Commission, which control the corporate governance practices of public companies. Compliance with these laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as discussed in the following risk factor, has substantially increased our expenses, including legal and accounting costs, and made some activities more time-consuming and costly.
20
Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be considered effective in the future, which could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse Affect on SHAREHOLDER PERCEPTION.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal controls over financial reporting. Such report must contain, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of the year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal controls over financial reporting are effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting identified by management. If we are unable to continue to assert that our internal controls are effective, our shareholders could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could have an adverse affect on shareholder perception.
