PACIFICNET INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts expressed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated)

 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Description of Operations - PacificNet Inc. (referred to herein as "PacificNet" or the "Company"), through our subsidiaries, provides outsourcing services, value-added telecom services (VAS), communication products distribution services and the design and distribution of entertainment kiosks and gaming machines. Our business process outsourcing (BPO) services include call centers, providing customer relationship management (CRM), mail order direct marketing and telemarketing services, and our information technology outsourcing (ITO) includes software programming and development. We are value-added resellers and providers of telecom VAS, which is comprised of interactive voice response (IVR) systems, call center management systems, and voice over Internet protocol (VOIP), as well as mobile phone VAS, such as short messaging services (SMS) and multimedia messaging services (MMS). The Company's operations are primarily targeted in the mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Region markets.
 
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. You should read these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the audited financial statements, including the notes thereto, and the other information set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005. The condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacificnet Inc. and its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim results have been reflected. PacificNet’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB includes certain definitions and a summary of significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this report. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
 
Use of Estimates - The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123-R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) replaces SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123(R) requires, among other things, that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options, be measured based on their grant-date fair value and recognized as expense. Effective January 1, 2006, PacificNet adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective application method. Under this transition method, compensation expense recognized for the quarter June 30, 2006, includes the applicable amounts of: (a) compensation expense of all stock-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and previously presented in pro forma footnote disclosures), and (b) compensation expense for all stock-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the new provisions of SFAS 123(R)). Results for periods prior to January 1, 2006, have not been restated. See Note 7.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (“SFAS 155”). This statement amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”), and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities and resolves issues addressed in SFAS 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets.” This Statement: (a) permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; (b) clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS 133; (c) establishes a requirement to evaluate beneficial interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; (d) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and, (e) eliminates restrictions on a qualifying special-purpose entity’s ability to hold passive derivative financial instruments that pertain to beneficial interests that are or contain a derivative financial instrument. The standard also requires presentation within the financial statements that identifies those hybrid financial instruments for which the fair value election has been applied and information on the income statement impact of the changes in fair value of those instruments. The Company is required to apply SFAS 155 to all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a re-measurement event beginning January 1, 2007, although early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year. The Company is evaluating the provisions of SFAS 155. The effects of adopting of SFAS 155 on the Company’s financial statements are not known at this time.
 
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle, if any, recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
 
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”)), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

 
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) amounts in the financial statements are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and other dilutive securities. Dilutive EPS for second quarter of 2006 exclude the potential dilutive effect of 766,000 warrants and 800,000 convertible debentures because their impact would be anti-dilutive based on current market prices. All per share and per share information are adjusted retroactively to reflect stock splits and changes in par value.
 
The reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS calculations was as follows:

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Prior to January 1, 2006, PacificNet accounted for awards granted under stock-based compensation plans following the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense was recognized for awards granted at an exercise price less than fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006, PacificNet adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R). See Note 2 for a description of the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123R. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is consistent with the valuation techniques previously utilized for options in footnote disclosures required under SFAS 123, as amended by FASB Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure.” The determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $58,334.
 
During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Company did not grant any new stock options, 245,000 options were exercised, and 680,000 options were cancelled. See note 5 b) for the status of the Company’s stock option plan.

7. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
 
On March 13, 2006, we completed a private placement in which we sold $8,000,000 in convertible debentures and issued warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock. The debentures are convertible at any time into shares of our common stock at an initial fixed conversion price of $10.00 per share, subject to adjustments for certain dilutive events. The debentures are due March 13, 2009. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $12.20 per share. At the closing of the private placement, we prepaid the first year's interest on debentures equal to 5% of the aggregate principal amount of debentures. We will pay interest in cash or shares, provided that certain conditions are met, at the rate of 6% for the second year the debentures are outstanding and then 7% for the third. Beginning January 1, 2007, we are obligated to redeem up to $320,000 every month, plus accrued, but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and penalties. We also have the option to prepay the debentures at any time, provided that certain conditions have been met, after the 12 month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures, some or all of the outstanding debentures for cash in an amount equal to 120% of the principal amount outstanding, plus accrued, but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and penalties outstanding. At any time after the six month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement, we may force the holders to convert up to 50% of the then outstanding principal amount of the debentures, subject to certain trading conditions being met. If any event of default occurs under the debentures or other related documents, the holders may elect to accelerate the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the debenture, plus accrued, but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and penalties, which shall become immediately due and payable.
 
C.E. Unterberg, Towbin L.L.C. acted as placement agent and received a negotiated cash fee in the amount of $449,500 and a warrant to purchase up to 16,000 shares at an exercise price of $12.20 per share, which expire five years from the date of issuance. The fair value of these warrants totaled $28,952 and such amount was charged to other assets, net, and will be amortized over the life of the debentures, and credited to additional paid-in capital during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Maxim Group also acted as Placement Agent and received a cash fee in the amount of $50,000.
 
In connection with the issuance of the debentures, the Company incurred $1,043,000 of issuance costs, which primarily consisted of investment banker fees, legal and other professional fees. These costs are being amortized and are recorded as additional expense through three years, the scheduled date on which holders have the option to require the Company to repurchase the debentures. Amortization expense related to the issuance costs during the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $86,000. At June 30, 2006, net debt issuance costs associated with the debentures was $957,000 and is recorded in other assets, net.

The gross proceeds of $8,000,000 are recorded as a liability net of a debt discount of $8,000,000 consisting of an allocation of the fair values attributed to the Investors’ warrants and to the embedded conversion feature in accordance with EITF issue No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock.” The debt discount consisted of a $693,278 value related to the Investors’ warrants and a value attributed to the compound embedded derivatives liability, including embedded options and registration rights.
 
In accordance with recent FASB guidance, due to certain factors, including a liquidated damages provision in the registration rights agreement and an indeterminate amount of shares to be issued upon conversion of the debentures, the Company values and accounts for the embedded conversion feature related to the Debentures, the Investors’ warrants, and the registration rights as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, these derivative liabilities are measured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as long as they remain classified as liabilities. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification required under EITF No. 00-19 changes as a result of events during the period, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
 
An aggregate gain of $207,679 representing the change in fair value of these derivative liabilities was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
 
Our discussion and analysis or plan of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
 
19

On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable reserves, provisions for impairment losses of affiliated companies and other intangible assets, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
 
 
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts
 
We evaluate the collectibility of our trade receivables based on a combination of factors. We regularly analyze our significant customer accounts, and, when we become aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations to us, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial position, we record a specific reserve for bad debt to reduce the related receivable to the amount we reasonably believe is collectible. We also record reserves for bad debt for all other customers based on a variety of factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the financial health of the customer, macroeconomic considerations and historical experience. If circumstances related to specific customers change, our estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted. In the event that our trade receivables become uncollectible, we would be forced to record additional adjustments to receivables to reflect the amounts at net realizable value. The accounting effect of this entry would be a charge to earnings, thereby reducing our net earnings. Although we consider the likelihood of this occurrence to be remote based on past history and the current status of our accounts, there is a possibility of this occurrence.
 
 
Income Taxes
 
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We have considered future market growth, forecasted earnings, future taxable income, and the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which we operate and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance. We currently have recorded a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets as we currently believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the event we determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. Likewise, if we later determine that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would be realized, the previously provided valuation allowance would be reversed.

 
Contingencies
 
We may be subject to certain asserted and unasserted claims encountered in the normal course of business. It is our belief that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations, however, we cannot provide assurance that damages that result in a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations will not be imposed in these matters. We account for contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.

 
Valuation Of Long-Lived Assets Including Goodwill And Purchased Intangible Assets
 
We review property, plant and equipment, goodwill and purchased intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Our asset impairment review assesses the fair value of the assets based on the future cash flows the assets are expected to generate. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset (if any) are less than the carrying value of the asset. This approach uses our estimates of future market growth, forecasted revenue and costs, expected periods the assets will be utilized and appropriate discount rates. Such evaluations of impairment of long-lived assets including goodwill arising on a business combination and purchased intangible assets are an integral part of, but not limited to, our strategic reviews of our business and operations performed in conjunction with restructuring actions. When an impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. Deterioration of our business in a geographic region or within a business segment in the future could also lead to impairment adjustments as such issues are identified. The accounting effect of an impairment loss would be a charge to earnings, thereby reducing our net earnings.

20

Convertible Debt
 
In accordance with recent FASB accounting guidance, due to certain factors, including a liquidated damages provision in the registration rights agreement and an indeterminate amount of shares to be issued upon conversion of the debentures, the Company values and accounts for the embedded conversion feature related to the Debentures, the Investors’ warrants, and the registration rights as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, these derivative liabilities are measured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings as long as they remain classified as liabilities. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification required under EITF No. 00-19 changes as a result of events during the period, the contract should be reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
 
The fair value of these derivative instruments, as determined by applying the Black-Scholes valuation model, is adjusted quarterly. The Black-Scholes valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Additionally, although the Black-Scholes model meets the requirements of SFAS 133, the fair values generated by the model may not be indicative of the actual fair values as our derivative instruments have characteristics significantly different from traded options. Accordingly, the results obtained could be significantly different if other assumptions were used. The effect of this entry would be a charge to net earnings, thereby either increasing or reducing our net earnings based upon the assumptions used and the results obtained,


NATURE OF THE OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY

NATURE OF BUSINESS.

We were incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1987. Our business consists of three groups, all of which operate within the outsourcing and telecommunications industries in Asia, primarily greater China, which includes the People's Republic of China (PRC), or mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), Macau Special Administrative Region, and Taiwan. Through our subsidiaries we provide outsourcing services, value-added telecom services (VAS), and communication products distribution services. Our business process outsourcing (BPO) services include call centers providing customer relationship management (CRM) and telemarketing services, and our information technology outsourcing (ITO) includes software programming and development. We are value-added resellers and providers of telecom VAS, which comprises interactive voice response (IVR) systems, call center management systems, and VOIP, as well as mobile phone VAS, such as short messaging services (SMS) and multimedia messaging services (MMS). In 2004, we commenced our communication products distribution service, through wholesale and, to a lesser extent, retail sale and distribution of mobile phones, software and hardware, mobile accessories, and calling cards in Hong Kong and China. Recently, we have also invested in a company that designs, manufactures, and distributes multimedia interactive self-service kiosks and gaming machines for the casino and slot machine operators in Macau Special Administrative Region of China. We intend to continue to grow our business by acquiring and managing growing technology and network communications businesses with established products and customers in Asia.

Our business process outsourcing services generate revenue from call center services, call center management software sales, and training and consulting. We invoice our call center clients monthly at per seat monthly rates, a base price plus commission per call, or a per hour charge rate, depending on the client's preference. Our call center software clients pay per license, for which there is usually a one-time charge on sale of the software and annual maintenance fees for service. We charge per project for our consulting and training services and for our telecom VAS, which are invoiced throughout the project. Our telecom VAS often includes a post-sale service contract for systems integration and consulting services for which we bill separately. Our communication products such as calling cards, kiosks and cell phones are sold cash-on-delivery.

Our clients include the leading telecom operators, banks, insurance, travel, marketing, and service companies, as well as telecom consumers, in Greater China. Clients include China Telecom, China Netcom, China Mobile, China Unicom, PCCW, Hutchison Telecom, CSL, SmarTone, Sunday, Swire Travel, Coca-Cola, SONY, Samsung, Motorola, Nokia, TNT Express, Huawei, TCL, Dun & Bradstreet, American Express, Bank of China, DBS, Hong Kong Government, and Hongkong Post.

PacPower recognizes revenue from product sales under the following two types of contracts:
1) Equipment sale contract - Under the Equipment sale contract, we recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, delivery has occurred and accepted by the buyers.
2) Energy Management Contract (EMC) or Energy Savings Sharing Contract - Under this contract, we grant customers extended payment terms under contracts of sale. These contracts are generally for a period of one to six years at prevailing interest rates and are collateralized by the related equipment, which if repossessed, may be less than the receivable balance outstanding. We recognize revenue under profit sharing agreements when the amounts are fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts received by us in excess of the original estimated cost savings on the contract is recorded as interest income.

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005
 
REVENUES. Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were $19,330,000 and $34,364,000, an increase of 57% and 60% from $12,280,000 and $21,492,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. During the second quarter and first half of 2006, revenues of $3,552,000, $5,517,000, $8,914,000 and $6,579,000, $12,557,000, $11,851,000 were derived from the services rendered by the Company's three operating units: Outsourcing Services, Value-Added Services, and Communications Products Distribution Services, respectively. The revenues in product sales during the second quarter and first half of 2006 increased by 85.1% and 45.2% compared to the same periods of 2005. The revenues in services sales during the second quarter and first half of 2006 increased by 28.9% and 79.1% compared to the same periods of 2005.
 
The increase in revenue was mainly due to the following sources:
 
(1)  
Outsourcing services: The year-over-year growth in outsourcing services in the second quarter and first half of 2006 was primarily due to the higher revenue from Call Centre business in Hong Kong. For the second quarter of 2006, Epro’s revenues increased $643,000, or 26.8%, year-over-year, which was largely due to a 148% increased in revenues from facilities management services, and a 54% increased in revenue from outbound services. Its revenues accounted for 86% and 85% of total outsourcing services revenues in the second quarter and first half of 2006, respectively. Due to rising labor costs, management believes that Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) has become a firmly-entrenched trend in Hong Kong and the PRC. Demand for outsourcing services has been steadily increasing, especially in sectors such as banking, insurance and telecom, and such demand has lead to continued growth in the first half of 2006. The Company’s combined Hong Kong-China operations expanded total contract center capacity to host 1000 working positions and to occupy a total of 53,000 square feet. During the first half of 2006, the outsourcing contract center in Hong Kong was at nearly full utilization. With increasing information technology expenditures by Hong Kong companies, both the Contact Center (or Customer Services Center) System and IT Solutions departments enjoyed revenue growth. Additionally, EPRO is the Value-added Reseller (VAR) of EPICOR’s Customer Relationship Management Solution (CRM) and Enterprise Resource Planning Solution (ERP) which led to additional marketing activities and promotional programs in the first half of 2006. Management retains its positive outlook on its software operations as companies search for tools to streamline or automate their business processes. With an experienced technical support team, EPRO is able to provide end-to-end solutions to meet the increasing IT needs of clients.

Value-added Telecom Services: In the aggregate, revenues received through VAS business and its subsidiaries accounted for 28.5% and 36.5% of the Company’s total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and 38.6% and 28.6 % of the Company’s total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Guangzhou 3G, Linkhead, Lion Zone contributed 12.8%, 8.9%, and 6.5%, respectively, of the total revenues for the three month ended June 30, 2006 and 13.1 %, 9.7% and 13.4%, respectively, for the six month ended June 30, 2006, respectively. During the second quarter and first half of 2006, China accounted for 37.5% and 45.8% of the total revenues, respectively, compared to 46.8 % and 37.4% in the same periods of 2005, respectively. The significant increase in revenues during the second quarter of 2006 and a small increase during the first half of 2006 in Guangzhou 3G was mostly attributed to providing new 3G services and through the merger of Guangzhou Wanrong, which added approximately $308,000 and $574,000 to three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. On a year-over-year basis, the Company’s VAS revenue only increased a small percentage, approximately 16% in the second quarter, which is primarily attributed to the approximate 20% decline in the sales of voice cards from Linkhead. During 2006, there was a general market decline for voice cards in Asia, and a 25% decline in SMS revenues from Clickcom in which SMS advertising has been restricted by China Information Industry Department. However, voice cards revenues had a slight increase of 5% ($81,000) quarter-to-quarter. Additionally, the development of WAP and color ring back tone services had growth during the period to partially offset the decline in SMS business. 
 
Separately, stricter guidelines established by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) led to a decrease in the Company’s ability to market its investment consulting services to retail audiences, which resulted in a revenue underperformance. Nevertheless, although barriers remain on marketing through television, the Company has successfully expanded its use of stored-value cards to maintain its market position. Due to its large loyal retail following, the Company believes it can work through the current regulatory environment. Additionally, the Company has shifted its marketing? emphasis to the internet and magazines.

Communication Products Distribution: iMobile added approximately $1,230,000 and $2,231,000, or accounted for 13.8% and 18.8% in Communication Products Distribution revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, in which its major business included internet sales of mobile phone and accessories. The revenues from the sales of Motorola and Nokia contributed 95% of iMobile’s total revenues during the second quarter and first half of 2006. Additionally, the completion of a charging platform for new services and content information is in process and is expected to be rolled out in August of this year. PacCom revenues accounted for 54 % and 8 % of total revenues in the Communication Products Distribution business in the first half of 2006 and 2005, respectively. Revenues from PacCom increased by 2535% and 811% year-over-year in the second quarter and first half of 2006, respectively, primarily due to approximately $1.9million (HK$15million) revenues from providing LED lighting technology and solution for Galaxy Starworld Hotel of Macau and approximately $0.23million (HK$1.78million) revenues from Dell computer, Fiber Converter, Mirror Finish Steel, Cabling, DCM player, and others during the second quarter of 2006.
 
(4)  
The remaining incremental revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to respective period was derived from organic growth from existing subsidiaries, such as PacPower ($894,000 and $2,474,000) and PacificNet Limited ($407,000 and $825,000). The Light Eco installation system project awarded in the second quarter of 2006 posted positive revenue increases during the second quarter and first half of 2006. Additionally, projects involving $0.13million (HK$1.04million) of the installation of Central Air-Conditioning Chilled-Water Pump Intelligence Control System at the incorporate owner of Goodrich Garden and $0.96million (HK$7.50million) of Nan Fung Centre chiller replacement project strongly help pushed drive revenues. The Company also received two services agreements during the second quarter of 2006 including providing consulting services in the areas of legal, accounting, finance, management and web site design and construction (HK$1million), and providing Internet e-commerce software application and e-commerce web site development service (HK$1.5million).
 
Acquisitions during the first quarter of 2006 also expanded PacificNet’s position as a leading provider of e-commerce, customer services and CRM in China's mobile distribution market, and increased our e-commerce and VAS revenues and our nationwide CRM service coverage. Several of our businesses experienced fluctuations in quarterly performance. Revenues from the VAS and IVR segment can vary from quarter to quarter due to new products and services launches and, the seasonality of certain product lines.

COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $14,407,000 and $22,960,000, an increase of 49.9% and 34.1% from $9,613,000 and $17,127,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The cost of revenues in services and product sales in the second quarter and first half of 2006 increased by 3.8% and 81.1%, respectively, and 17.4% and 43.5%, respectively, compared with the respective period in 2005. The increase is directly associated with the corresponding increase in revenues. In comparison to the same period last year, the majority of the costs associated with revenues were from PacCom and Epro. For the second quarter and first half of 2006, PacCom accounted 34.1% and 26.9% of the total cost of revenues, respectively and approximately $1.86million (HK$14.5million) cost of revenue from PacCom is the IT equipment cost paid for Macau Galaxy Starworld Hotel project during the second quarter of 2006. Cost of revenues from Epro accounted for 15.7% and 18.7% of the total cost of revenues in the first half of 2006 and 2005, respectively, which was mainly related to 27% increase in staff cost related to software sales, 277% increase in occupancy costs such as rents and electricity and 46% increase in other operating activity. Additionally, 4% and 8.2% of total cost of revenues was contributed from PacPower for the second quarter and first half of 2006, respectively, which resulted from a Central Air-Conditioning chiller replacement project and a Light Eco installation system project awarded during the first and second quarter of 2006 respectively. In addition, PacPower received a contract for a frequency inverter energy-saving air-conditioning solution project from a client.
 
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $4,923,000 and $11,404,000, a significant increase of 84.6% and 161.3 % as compared to $2,667,000 and $4,365,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Gross margin was 25.5% and 33.2% of total revenues for the second quarter and first half of 2006, compared to 21.7% and 20.3% for the second quarter and first half of 2005, respectively. As explained above, the improvement on gross margin for three and six months periods from the prior periods was primarily due to contributions from higher margin subsidiaries. The significant increase in gross margin year-over-year came primarily from our facilities management and outbound services, and mobile phone sales. One of our subsidiaries transformed its operation from a resource outsourcing basis to more of a project outsourcing basis. For resource outsourcing, we had high revenue and low profit margin in the second quarter and first half of 2005. As a result of the shift in operations, we had lower revenue and higher than normal profit margin for project outsourcing in the second quarter and first half quarter of 2006. We believe that our overall gross margins approximate the industry standards and we expect our gross margin percentage to increase gradually as a result of cost reduction and greater efficiencies in our utilization of assets.
 
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $3,177,000 and $7,500,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of 131% and 232% from $1,376,000 and $2,258,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of staff salaries, rent, insurance and traveling costs. The year-over-year increase in total general and administrative expenses in the second quarter and first half of 2006 was mainly due to the increase of staff cost as well as rent and electricity expenses for the expansion of call centre. The marketing expenses from the new 3G service and Wanrong’s services also significantly affected the total expenses during the second quarter of 2006, increasing approximately 288% compared to the same period in 2005. Furthermore, the expenses from project outsourcing services included traveling and training expenses.
 
The sharp increase in the second quarter and first half of 2006 for PACT SZ was primarily due to 25% and 24 % increase of salary cost from the expansion of accounting, auditing, SOX internal control and Kingdee software maintenance teams, a 495% and 292% increase from staff traveling cost resulting from the annual audit and the increase in management fees from the regular annual board and audit committee meetings in SZ. Most of the subsidiaries had representatives attend the meetings to present their previous one year and current period’s business financial performance and their forecasts for quarterly financial figures. Open and transparent communication is essential as it improves the relationship between PACT and each subsidiary so that each company can know more about the others’ business operation. In order to meet the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX 404), it is essential to have adequate internal controls and procedure, and to improve efficiency by using accounting software.
 
Significant general expenses from PacificNet Inc. year-over-year in the second quarter and first half of 2006 was largely due to $58,334 and $120,043 of vesting option expense for compensation cost amortization, $27,500 increase in D&O commercial insurance expense (the total prepayment of $110,000 for its insurance was from June 2005 to June 2006), $85,996 amortization cost from $8 million convertible debt issuance cost (3 years amortization) and depreciation cost from Beijing Time court (USD1.6m depreciated through 40 years). Additionally, there is approximately $148,080 financial expense for PacificNet Inc. Such expense consists of (1) convertible debt interest, in which 5% is prepaid interest expense, $100,000 is expensed in Q2 2006 and the following three quarters (Q3 2006, Q4 2006 and Q1 2007); and (2) the bank loan interest for Beijing Time Court ($57,969) in which the total amount of its bank loan is $1,082,000.

EARNINGS FROM OPERATIONS. On a year-over-year basis, earnings from operations increased 15% and 72% in the second quarter and first half of 2006, respectively. Operating earnings of $283,000, $1,130,000, and $208,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were generated from the Company's three business units: (1) CRM Outsourcing Services, (2) Value Added Services (VAS), and (3) Communications Distribution Services, respectively. This compares to operating earnings of $305,000, $1,086,000 and $118,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Various factors affected operating earnings during the second quarter of 2006, including increased capital expenditures resulting in greater non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization expenses. As the Company expanded its call centre sites in Hong Kong, amortization and depreciation expenses related to the new leasehold improvement, furniture & fixtures, computer equipment and software incurred in the second quarter and first half of 2006 also increased. The increase in fixed assets also included a recorder monitor system, DVCAM, computer equipment. We continued to shift our business from our traditional lower-margin distribution business (B2B services) to higher margin value-added telecom services and B2C e-commerce which we believe will help drive superior bottom-line results. We believe that the Company has made substantial progress in a relatively short period of time which has been demonstrated by our increase in both gross and operating margins in the second quarter. Furthermore, the acquisition of the majority interest in both iMobile and Guangzhou Wanrong during the first quarter enhanced our position in this rapidly growing B2C market in China.
 
INCOME TAXES. Income tax provision was $85,000 and $200,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to $37,000 and $64,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. Interim income tax provisions are based upon management’s estimate of taxable income and the resulting consolidated effective income tax rate for the full year. As a result, such interim estimates are subject to change as the year progresses and more information becomes available. We expect our income taxes to increase as our net earnings increase and the tax holidays we have benefited from in Hong Kong and the PRC expire.
 
MINORITY INTERESTS. Minority interests for the second quarter and first half of 2006 totaled $804,000 and $1,934,000 compared with $887,000 and $1,304,000 for the same period in the prior year, representing outside ownership interests in subsidiaries that is consolidated with the parent for financial reporting purposes.
 
NET EARNINGS. Overall net earnings year-over-year increased 60.5% and 85.8% in the second quarter and first half of 2006, respectively. The Company’s results for the six months ended June 30, 2006 included a total of $888,000 in non-cash expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense of $768,000 and $120,000 non-cash stock-based compensation expense recognized during 2006 as a result of the implementation of SFAS 123(R), which we adopted effective on January 1, 2006, The Company’s quarterly results also included a total of $530,000 in non-cash expenses, including depreciation and amortization expense of $472,000 and non-cash stock-based compensation expense $58,000 recognized during the second quarter as a result of the implementation of SFAS 123(R), which we adopted effective on January 1, 2006. Each of our subsidiaries and investments, including Epro, Smartime, Guangzhou 3G, Clickcom, ChinaGoHi, iMobile, PacificNet Communications, PacificNet Limited and PacificNet Power were profitable.
 
In the outsourcing business, Smartime signed an outsourcing contract with a local Bank in Hong Kong, Wing Lung Bank, in May which will help drive growth in the outsourcing business, and provide a platform for further penetrating this market in the region. Smartime provided some senior engineers for the Bank and will also jointly recruit some recently-graduated students and train them. Furthermore, the Company is constantly seeking new channels to provide lower prices for resources, leading to lower operating costs.
 
Two recently acquired subsidiaries, iMobile and Wanrong, also added approximately $2 million and $268,000 net profit, respectively, to the total amount of net profit during the second quarter of 2006. With the new operation of 2, 2.5 and 3G VAS services, net profit has rapidly increased. PacificNet Limited and PacificNet Power also added approximately $214,000 and $296,000 net profit, respectively, to the Company due to newly obtained projects during the second quarter of 2006. Overall, management is optimistic in our ability to drive revenue and profits quarter-to-quarter as a result of cost reductions and efficient utilization of assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS.
 
As of June 30, 2006, cash and cash equivalents were $5,935,000, compared to $9,579,000 at December 31, 2005 as a result of the decrease of cash and cash equivalents of more than $3.2million for Lion Zone. The significant reduction for Lion Zone was primarily attributed to a loan to a related party of approximately $2.1million, acquisition of property and equipment, and taxes paid.
 
WORKING CAPITAL.
 
The Company’s working capital increased to $29,822,000 at June 30, 2006, as compared to $20,510,000 at December 31, 2005. When compared to balances at December 31, 2005, an increase of 45.4% in working capital at June 30, 2006 was primarily due to the increases in current assets and the decrease in current liabilities accounts. The increase of current assets was mainly the result of significant increase in accounts receivable which was attributable to our existing subsidiaries and a significant increase in loan receivable from related parties. The decrease of current liabilities was primarily due to the decrease of accrual expense and other payable. The increase of accounts receivable at June 30, 2006 was mainly driven from the increase of $2,070,000 from PacPower (due to the installation of Central Air-Conditioning and chiller replacement project, and two services agreements - see revenues (4) above), the increase of $2,575,000 from PacCom (see revenues (3) above), the increase of $839,000 from 3G (due to the expansion of 3G services) and the increase of $574,000 from Epro. The two recently acquired subsidiaries, Wanrong and iMobile also added $255,000 and $587,000 to accounts receivable at June 30, 2006, respectively.
 
NET CASH FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES.
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $8,031,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $110,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to net earnings of $1,873,000 offset by minority interest of $1,934,000, non-cash related expenses of $900,000, $208,000 for the change in fair value of our derivatives as of the balance sheet date, and a net increase in working capital items of $12,530,000. The increase in working capital was mainly due to an increase in accounts receivable of $10,370,000 and an increase in inventories of $415,000 which mainly resulted from higher revenues and a net decrease in account payables and accrued expenses of $1,745,000 which was primarily due to the decrease in accrued expenses and income tax payable.
 
NET CASH FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $4,209,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $3,387,000 for the comparative prior period. Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily due to the acquisition of property and equipment from the company, Dragon Roar, Lion Zone and Epro totaling $3,124,000, and cash payment totaling $836,000 related to the ChinaGoHi, Wanrong and iMobile acquisitions, and an increase of $2,233,000 in loan receivable from related parties, offset by the release of the restricted cash of $1,422,000 from ChinaGoHi and an decrease of $562,000 for loan receivables from third parties.
 
NET CASH FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $8,542,000, which was mainly due to the proceeds from issuance of convertible debenture of $8,000,000 and the exercise of the share options and warrants of $86,000, an increase in bank loan of $623,000 which was due to the purchase of our Beijing office, and an increase in loans payable to related party of $201,000 by Epro. The amount was partially offset by the repayment of banking facilities of $171,000 from Epro and Smartime, the repayment of amount borrowed under capital lease of $73,000, and repurchase of treasury shares of $124,000. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $2,302,000, which was primarily a result of an increase in loans payable to related party of $390,000, an increase in advances from banking facilities of $142,000 primarily by EPRO, an increase in bank loan of $727,000, and an increase from the exercise of share options and warrants of $981,000.
 
INFLATION. Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's business in recent years.
 
27

CURRENCY EXCHANGE FLUCTUATIONS.
 
All of the Company's revenues are denominated either in U.S. dollars or Hong Kong dollars, while its expenses are denominated primarily in Hong Kong dollars and Renminbi ("RMB"), the currency of the People's Republic of China. The value of the RMB-to-U.S. dollar or Hong Kong dollar-to-United States dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. Since 1994, the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the People's Bank of China, which are set daily based on the previous day's interbank foreign exchange market rates and current exchange rates on the world financial markets. Since 1994, the official exchange rate generally has been stable. Recently there has been increased political pressure on the Chinese government to decouple the RMB from the United States dollar. Although a devaluation of the Hong Kong dollar or RMB relative to the United States dollar would likely reduce the Company's expenses (as expressed in United States dollars), any material increase in the value of the Hong Kong dollar or RMB relative to the United States dollar would increase the Company's expenses, and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has never engaged in currency hedging operations and has no present intention to do so.
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS.
 
We had no off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency forward contracts. We did not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts during the second quarter of 2006.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
 
All of the Company's revenues are derived in Asia and Greater China. The Company does not have any single customer that accounts for more than 10% of its revenues or 10% of its purchases. If the Company was unable to derive any revenue from Asia and Greater China, it would have a significant, financially disruptive effect on the normal operations of the Company. Based on the current economic environment in China, the Company does not expect any material adverse impact to its business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS
 
Several of our businesses experience fluctuations in quarterly performance. Traditionally, the first quarter from January to March is a low season for our call center business due to the long Lunar New Year holidays in China. Revenues and income from operations for the call center and VAS tend to be higher in the fourth quarter due to special holiday promotions. Internet sales, telemarketing and direct marketing revenues also tend to be higher in the fourth quarter due to increased consumer spending during that period. Revenues from the VAS and IVR segment can vary from quarter to quarter due to new product launches and the seasonality of certain product lines.
 
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
We are exposed to various market risks arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign exchange fluctuations and interest rates, which could impact our results of operations and financial position. We do not currently engage in any hedging or other market risk management tools, and we do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
 
28


Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. 
Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies, primarily the Hong Dollar and the Chinese Renminbi, could adversely affect our financial results. During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, approximately all of our sales are denominated in foreign currencies. We expect that foreign currencies will continue to represent a similarly significant percentage of our sales in the future. Selling, marketing and administrative costs related to these sales are largely denominated in the same respective currency, thereby mitigating our transaction risk exposure. We therefore believe that the risk of a significant impact on our operating income from foreign currency fluctuations is not substantial. However, for sales not denominated in U.S. dollars, if there is an increase in the rate at which a foreign currency is exchanged for U.S. dollars, it will require more of the foreign currency to equal a specified amount of U.S. dollars than before the rate increase. In such cases and if we price our products in the foreign currency, we will receive less in U.S. dollars than we did before the rate increase went into effect. If we price our products in U.S. dollars and competitors price their products in local currency, an increase in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar could result in our price not being competitive in a market where business is transacted in the local currency. All of our sales denominated in foreign currencies are denominated in the Hong Dollar and the Chinese Renminbi. Our principal exchange rate risk therefore exists between the U.S. dollar and these two currencies. Fluctuations from the beginning to the end of any given reporting period result in the re-measurement of our foreign currency-denominated receivables and payables, generating currency transaction gains or losses that impact our non-operating income/expense levels in the respective period and are reported in other (income) expense, net in our combined consolidated financial statements. We do not currently hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We may, however, hedge such exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the future.

We do not currently hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We may, however, hedge such exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the future.
 
Interest Rate Risk. 
Changes in interest rates may affect the interest paid (or earned) and therefore affect our cash flows and results of operations. We are exposed to interest rate change risk with respect to Epros' (one of our subsidiaries) credit facility with a commercial lender. However, we do not believe that this interest rate change risk is significant.
 
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures  
 
PacificNet Inc. (the "Company") maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Interim Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.
 
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO and Interim CFO, as of end of the period covered by this report of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation the CEO and Interim CFO concluded that as of June 30, 2006, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures contained significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. Also, as previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the "2005 Form 10-KSB") and as of the end of the period covered by this report, significant deficiencies and material weaknesses with respect to the Company's internal controls over financial reporting were identified and communicated to us by our independent auditors.

The Company has implemented and continues to implement remediation initiatives and interim measures during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and through the current date.
 
In the absence of full implementation of the remediation initiatives in the second quarter of 2006, the Company has undertaken additional measures described below in the interim to ensure that the Company's consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly, the Company's management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented and that this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives and Interim Measures  
 
Management has reviewed and begun to implement changes to the overall design of the Company's control environment, which includes formalizing the roles, duties and responsibilities of each functional group within the organization and putting in place a process by which each subsidiary's accounting staff must report and communicate required financial disclosures to the Company's primary accounting groups for review and oversight, as well as new procedures to monitor internal controls over financial reporting, which the CEO and Interim CFO believe will greatly improve the current process.
 
The following is a description of the Company’s remediation initiatives with respect to each deficiency identified in the 2005 Form 10-KSB and at the end of the period covered by this report:

1.  
The current organization of the accounting department does not provide PacificNet with the adequate skills to accurately account for and disclose significant transactions or disclosures.

Remediation Initiatives
 
Beginning in the first quarter of 2006, the Company streamlined its reporting procedures by requiring all accounting groups within each subsidiary, which includes tax, treasury, financial planning and analysis groups, to directly report information and communicate to their respective accounting group at the Company’s financial accounting headquarters in Shenzhen. Each accounting group at Shenzhen is now responsible for overseeing the reporting results delivered for each subsidiary within their group to ensure that the material transactions and financial disclosures provided by such group are accurate, complete and correct and do not contain any material misstatements or omit material information.
 
The Company plans to retain the services of outside consultants, other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, with relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge, working under the supervision and direction of the Company’s management, to supplement the Company’s existing accounting personnel.
 
The Company plans to expand the size of its internal audit group, and has determined to retain an outside independent consulting firm with relevant accounting experience. In connection with this expansion the Company will give the internal audit group the added responsibility to monitor its wholly owned subsidiaries and partially owned subsidiaries and joint venture operations through reviews and audits at such locations a minimum of three times a quarter.

The Company believes that this new responsibility of the internal audit group is critical upon each new acquisition, as the newly acquired subsidiary must quickly become familiar with the Company's policies and procedures for processing, summarizing, reporting and disclosing material information and ensuring that financial information about the new subsidiary is properly accounted for and communicated to management.

2.  
 Certain key managers in the accounting department do not appear to have the knowledge and experience required for their responsibilities.

Remediation Initiatives

As indicated in the Company’s 10-K filed on April 28, 2006, PacificNet has greatly expanded its Finance and Accounting staff in China in the last six months. In January, the Company promoted Mary Ma to the new position of Vice President of Finance, a position which will be permanently stationed in China. The Company has gradually transitioned the roles, responsibilities and job function of the CFO role to Mary May, the new VP of Finance. In May 2006, the Company announced the resignation of Mr. ShaoJian Wang as the CFO effective May 26, 2006. Concurrently, Mr. Wang announced that he had accepted a new position at Hurray! Holding Co. Ltd. (Nasdaq:HRAY) as their President and Chief Operating Operator. Mr. Victor Tong, PacificNet’s President, has taken the position of Interim CFO during the Company’s search for a permanent CFO. PacificNet has been actively seeking a new permanent CFO through job ads and headhunting firms.

The Company created a new position, Vice President of Finance for China Operations, and has appointed Mary Ma to fill the position. Ms. Ma has the prior business experience required to act in a supervisory capacity for the Company, including experience with Chinese Accounting Standards, IAS and US GAAP, corporate finance, finance analysis and operation. Ms. Ma and Mr. Joe Levinson, the Company's outside financial advisor, with assistance from other senior members of the financial staff, have reviewed and will continue to review and adapt the overall design of the Company's financial reporting structure, including the roles and responsibilities of each functional group within the Company.

The Company has plans to hire managers experienced in several key areas of accounting, including primarily persons with experience in US GAAP consolidation requirements, SEC financial reporting requirements and international tax skills, who will include the following:

·  
a consolidation manager with relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge;
·  
several senior managers familiar with SEC financial reporting requirements with relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge; and
·  
a senior manager with relevant PRC and international tax and accounting skills, experience and knowledge.

In September 2005, the Company implemented a formal training process to train its accounting and financial staff and plans to continue this process to ensure that personnel have the necessary competency, training and supervision for their assigned level of responsibility and the nature and complexity of the Company’s business. The Company plans to conduct a training seminar regarding revenue recognition, including identification of non-standard contracts in China.
 
The Company has allocated resources to continue to hire additional accounting personnel in the U.S., Hong Kong and China, in the areas of tax, external financial reporting, revenue recognition, treasury, financial planning and analysis and corporate accounting with relevant accounting experience, skills and knowledge.
     
3.  
Substantive matters are not being addressed appropriately by the Board and Audit Committee resulting in inadequate oversight from the Board and Audit Committee.

Remediation Initiatives
 
The Company has proposed to set forth a schedule and increase the frequency of Board of Director meetings and Audit Committee meetings. The Company, its Board of Directors and the Audit Committee have recognized that communication is required earlier and more frequently to ensure that substantive matters are addressed as early as possible in both the review and audit process and to allow for more detailed financial accounting reports and findings to be prepared and presented to the Audit Committee in a timely manner.
 
4.  
The process that PacificNet is currently using to monitor the ongoing quality of internal controls performance, identify deficiencies and trigger timely corrective action is not working effectively.

Remediation Initiatives

Utilization of Computerized Automated Controls:
 
Beginning in the third quarter of 2005, the Company started to deploy a company-wide unified financial accounting system using the Kingdee K/3 Financial Accounting & ERP Software, provided by Kingdee International Software Group Company Limited (www.Kingdee.com), one of the top two financial accounting and ERP system providers in China. From Q3 2005 through Q1 2006, the Company rolled out and has successfully implemented the Kingdee K/3 Software for all its wholly owned subsidiaries. Commencing in the second quarter of 2006, the Company plans to roll out the Kingdee K/3 Software for its other partially owned subsidiaries and joint ventures in China. 

31

 
When fully operational, the Kingdee Software allows the Company and its subsidiaries to easily manage and monitor all financial and accounting processes within the group, which will assist the Company in collecting all material information necessary for its financial reports easily and accurately. During the first quarter of 2006, the Company implemented, and plans to continue to enhance, its month-end closing procedures, including reconciliations and controls over spreadsheets, and standardized checklists to ensure such procedures are consistently and effectively applied throughout the organization in order to improve the financial review time and quality to ensure that U.S. GAAP reviewers monitor financial information from non-U.S. locations in a consistent manner, through such measures as use of standardized reporting packages and review procedures.
 
The Company plans to deploy a document management system with secured intranet access during the third quarter of 2006 to ensure that all material contracts are collected, retained and available for review by all at one site.

5. There is no adequate means of accurately capturing and recording certain significant and complex business transactions:
 
Remediation Initiatives
 
In 2006 the Company began requiring centralized retention of documentation evidencing proof of delivery of products and services and final acceptance for revenue recognition purposes. The Company believes the document management system it plans to deploy as described above will be the primary tool to ensure that its business transactions are accurately recorded and evaluated for the purposes of legal and financial disclosure. The Company plans to design a contract review process in China requiring financial and legal staff to provide input during the contract negotiation process to ensure timely identification and accurate accounting treatment of non-standard contracts and to ensure proper revenue recognition with adequate documentation.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
 
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
 
SINCE THE FILING OF OUR ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-KSB, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL RISKS:

Our multinational operations subject us to various economic, political, regulatory and legal risks.
 
We market and sell our products globally, with significant portion of our sales historically made in China. The expansion of our existing multinational operations and entry into new markets will require significant management attention and financial resources. Multinational operations are subject to a variety of risks, such as:
 
the burden of complying with a variety of foreign laws and regulations;
the burden of complying with United States laws and regulations for foreign operations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;
difficulty complying with continually evolving and changing global product and communications standards and regulations for both our end products and their component technology;
market acceptance of our new products, including longer product acceptance periods in new markets into which we enter;
reliance on local original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), third party distributors and agents to effectively market and sell our products;
unusual contract terms required by customers in developing markets;
changes in local governmental control or influence over our customers;
changes to import and export regulations, including quotas, tariffs, licensing restrictions and other trade barriers;
evolving and unpredictable nature of the economic, regulatory, competitive and political environments;
reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
unproven business operation models developed or operated in specific countries or regions;
longer accounts receivable collection periods; and
difficulties and costs of staffing and managing multinational operations, including but not limited to internal controls and compliance.


Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) requires that we establish and maintain an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting and include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 10-K. That report must contain an assessment by management of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that we have identified. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

33

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. See “Item 8A—Controls and Procedures—Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” in our Annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 for a discussion of these material weaknesses. As of the date of the filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we are still in the process of implementing remedial measures related to the material weaknesses identified. If our efforts to remedy the weaknesses we identified are not successful, our business and operating results could be harmed and the reliability of our financial statements could be impaired, which could adversely affect our stock price. The requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are ongoing and also apply to future years. We expect that our internal control over financial reporting will continue to evolve as we continue in our efforts to transform our business. Although we are committed to continue to improve our internal control processes and we will continue to diligently and vigorously review our internal control over financial reporting in order to ensure compliance with the Section 404 requirements, any control system, regardless of how well designed, operated and evaluated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Therefore, we cannot be certain that in the future additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies will not exist or otherwise be discovered.
