PACIFICNET
INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED 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") is a leading provider of gaming technology,
e-commerce, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) in China. Our gaming
products are specially designed for the Chinese and Asian gamers, and we focus
on integrating localized Chinese and Asian themes and content, advanced

cabinet and client/server system designs, online i-gaming software design,
and
multimedia entertainment kiosks. PacificNet's gaming clients include the leading
hotels, casinos, and gaming operators in Macau, Asia, and Europe, and our
ecommerce and CRM clients include the leading telecom companies, banks,
insurance, travel, marketing and business services companies and telecom
consumers in Greater China such as China Telecom, China Mobile, Unicom, PCCW,

Citibank, HSBC, Bank of China, Bank of East Asia, DBS, TNT, China and Hong
Kong
government. PacificNet employs about 1,200 staff in its various subsidiaries
throughout China with offices in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen,
Guangzhou, Macau and Zhuhai China, in the USA, and in the
Philippines.
Consolidated
Interim Financial Statements - The 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-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2006, but do not include
all disclosures required by GAAP. You should read these interim 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-K, as amended, for the year ended
December 31, 2006. The 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 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K 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.
Reclassification
- Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the current period presentation.
Going
Concern
As
shown
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred
accumulated losses of $51.5 million and $51.1 million as of June 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively. These matters raise substantial doubt about
the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In
view
of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major
portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet
is
dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent
upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to
succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The
Company has taken certain restructuring steps to provide the necessary capital
to continue its operations. These steps included, but were not limited to:
1)
accelerate disposal and spin-off of unprofitable or unfavorable
return-on-investment non-gaming operations; 2) focus on execution of the new
high potential gaming business initiatives; 3) acquisition of profitable and/or
strategic operations through issuance of equity instruments; 4) formation of
strategic relationship with key gaming operators in Asia; and 5) issuance and/or
restructure of new long-term convertible debentures.
On
April
30, 2007, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement to dispose
of
its interest in Guangzhou3G for a consideration of US$6 million. The deal was
subsequently reopened for renegotiation in November 2007 (See note
12).
On
May 15
& 20, 2007, the Company entered into various definitive agreements to reduce
its equity interests in certain unprofitable subsidiaries to 15%, namely:
Linkhead, Clickcom, PacTelso, PacSo and PacPower (See note 12).
2. RECENT
PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
March 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on
issue number 06-10, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement
Benefit Aspects of Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance
Arrangements,” (“EITF 06-10”). EITF 06-10 provides guidance to help companies
determine whether a liability for the postretirement benefit associated with
a
collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement should be recorded
in accordance with either SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” (if, in substance, a postretirement
benefit plan exists), or Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12 (if the
arrangement is, in substance, an individual deferred compensation contract).
EITF 06-10 also provides guidance on how a company should recognize and measure
the asset in a collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance contract.
EITF
06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007,
though early adoption is permitted. The management is currently evaluating
the
effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
In
February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject
to
specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year
companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their second quarter 2007 financial
statements.
The
new
Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure
eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise
required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option
for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting
periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes
presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between
entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and
liabilities. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this
pronouncement on financial statements.
In
September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87,
88, 106, and 132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an
employer to recognize the over funded or underfunded status of a defined benefit
postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability
in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded
status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income
of a
business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit
organization. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations
as
of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company currently
does not have any defined benefit plan and so FAS 158 will not affect the
financial statements.
In
September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having
previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is
the
relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require
any
new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of
this
Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently
evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
3. EARNINGS
PER
SHARE
Basic
and
diluted earnings or loss 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
income/loss 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 earnings per share
for the period ended June 30, 2007 exclude the potential dilutive effect of
889,456 warrants because their impact would be anti-dilutive based on current
market prices. 581,817 convertible debentures are tested by using if-converted
method. The result shows when convertible debentures are included in the
computation, diluted EPS increases. According to SFAS No.128, those convertible
debentures are ignored in the computation of diluted EPS. 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:

7. STOCKHOLDERS'
EQUITY
a)
COMMON STOCK
For
the
six month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company had the following equity
transactions: (i) 199,444 shares of common stock were issued as the monthly
principal redemption shares for 8 million convertible debentures from January
to
March. Such shares are valued at $ 1,090,914 (ii) 41,426 treasury shares were
sold to the open market with total consideration $127,000.
b) STOCK
OPTION
PLAN
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
valuation provisions of SFAS 123(R) apply to new grants and unvested grants
that
were outstanding as of the effective date. For the three months ended June
30,
2007, no new options were granted and no options were vested, thus the
compensation costs is zero. PacificNet elected the modified prospective method

8. CONVERTIBLE
DEBENTURES
8.1 Eight
Million 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.
Under
the
terms of a registration rights agreement entered into at the time of the private
placement, the Company was obligated to file a registration statement with
respect to the shares issuable under the debenture and the warrants by April
30,
2006, and have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC no
later
than June 28, 2006. Due to various factors, the Company did not file the
registration statement until May 15, 2006, and it was not declared effective
until December 8, 2006. Therefore, under the terms of the registration rights
agreement, the Company was obligated to pay liquidated damages to
the investors at the rate of 2% of the principal amount of the debenture
each month beginning on June 28, 2006 until the effectiveness of the
registration statement, which was equal to $1,120,000, in the
aggregate.
In
February 2007, upon reaching an agreement on the amount and payment of accrued
liquidated damages, the Company signed a Settlement and Release Agreement with
each of the investors. Under the terms of the Settlement and Release Agreements,
the Company paid an aggregate $140,000 in cash as satisfaction in full of
liquidated damages owed to Basso Fund Ltd., Basso Multi-Strategy Holding Fund
Ltd., and Basso Private Opportunities Holding Fund Ltd. Partial liquidated
damages owed to Whalehaven Capital Fund Ltd. were paid in the amount of $35,000
in cash, with the remaining liquidated damages in the amount of $105,000 paid
in
the form of a new convertible debenture due February 2009, on substantially
the
same terms as the original debentures, except that interest only is paid on
the
new debentures until October 2008 and beginning in November 2008 until February
2009, when the new debentures are due, the monthly redemption amount under
the
new debentures shall be equal to $315,000. The remaining investors also agreed
to accept the aggregate $840,000 in liquidated damages owed to them in the
form
of the new convertible debentures for the amount of their respective portion
of
the liquidated damages. The Company also agreed to amend the original debentures
to shorten the term for payment of the original principal amount to a 22 month
term. As a result the monthly redemption amount for the original debenture
increased from $320,000 to $ 363,638. All other terms and conditions of the
original debenture remain in full force and effect. The outstanding original
principal amount as at June 30, 2007 is $5,977,273.
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 $28,141. Such amount was
charged to other assets, net, and credited to additional paid-in capital and
will be amortized over the life of the debentures. 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 $1,106,135
of issuance costs, which primarily consisted of investment banker fees, legal
and other professional fees. These costs have been recorded as additional
expense during year 2006.
The
gross
proceeds of $8,000,000 are recorded as a current debenture liability. In
addition, fair values attributed to the Investors’ warrants in accordance with
EITF issue No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to
and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock” are recorded as liabilities.
The initial value related to the Investors’ warrants is $690,642. An aggregate
gain of $20,071 and $80,765 representing the change in fair value of warrants
recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007,
respectively.
In
accordance with recent FASB guidance, due to certain factors, including a
liquidated damages provision in the registration rights agreement, the Company
values and accounts for the embedded conversion feature and the warrants related
to the debentures as derivatives. 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.
EVENT
OF
DEFAULT
On
March
16, 2007 our predecessor auditor withdrew their opinion on our previously filed
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005, December 31, 2004
and December 31, 2003. As a result, on March 27, 2007, we notified the holders
of the outstanding convertible debenture that we suspended use of the prospectus
contained in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-134127) that
was declared effective on December 8, 2006, due to the lack of fiscal year
end
2005 and 2004 audited financial statements and that they must cease selling
under the prospectus. The suspension of the use of the prospectus after April
17, 2007, triggered an event of default under the registration rights agreement
and the convertible debentures, and if any of the holders so elect, they can
accelerate and demand payment under the debentures, in accordance with the
registration rights agreement based on the following provisions.
|
a)
|
"If,
during the Effectiveness Period, either the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement lapses for any reason or the Holder shall
not be
permitted to resell Registrable Securities under the Registration
Statement for a period of more than 20 consecutive Trading Days or
60
non-consecutive Trading Days during any 12 month period, the Company
has
to pay ‘Mandatory Default Amount’ as the sum of (i) the greater of (A)
130% of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, plus
all
accrued and unpaid interest hereon, or (B) the outstanding principal
amount of this Debenture, plus all accrued and unpaid interest hereon,
divided by the Conversion Price on the date the Mandatory Default
Amount
is either (a) demanded (if demand or notice is required to create
an Event
of Default) or otherwise due or (b) paid in full, whichever has a
lower
Conversion Price, multiplied by the VWAP on the date the Mandatory
Default
Amount is either (x) demanded or otherwise due or (y) paid in full,
whichever has a higher VWAP, and (ii) all other amounts, costs, expenses
and liquidated damages due in respect of this
Debenture."
|
|
b)
|
"If
any Event of Default occurs, the outstanding principal amount of
this
Debenture plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and
other
amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration,
shall
become, at the Holder’s selection, immediately due and payable in cash at
the Mandatory Default Amount. Commencing 5 days after the occurrence
of
any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of
this
Debenture, the interest rate on this Debenture shall accrue at an
interest
rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted
under applicable law."
|
Due
to
the provisions mentioned above and as per the terms of the Debenture, the
Company has reclassified the remaining principal amount of the Debenture of
$6,909,086 and the principal amount of the new Debentures of $945,000 to current
liabilities.
The
Company accrued 2% as liquidated damages and 30% as mandatory default amount
from the date of ineffectiveness of registration statement as

13. ACQUISITION
TAKE
1
TECHNOLOGIES GROUP LIMITED
On
January 05, 2007, we entered into an agreement for PacificNet to exercise the
option to acquire an additional 31% interest in Take 1. The completion date
for
the new Securities Subscription Agreement was January 05, 2007, with a
contingent consideration of $965,505 (to be paid entirely with shares of
PacificNet: 149,459 PACT Shares, valued at $6.46 per share). As a result,
PacificNet has become the majority and controlling shareholder of Take1 with
our
ownership percentage increasing from 20% to 51%.
An
initial equity investment of 30% in Take 1 was made in April 2004 by the
Company, through its subsidiary PacificNet Strategic Investment Holdings
Limited, for a consideration of $1,156,812, comprising $385,604 in cash and
$771,208 in 149,459 PacificNet shares at $5.16 per share. PacificNet’s interest
in Take 1 was reduced to 20% in the year 2005 from 30% as a result of PacificNet
repurchasing an aggregate of 149,459 at nominal value.
Summarized
below were the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed for Take 1 in the acquisition:

|
|
At
June
30, 2007, goodwill of $657,413 represents the excess of the purchase price
over
the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired
and is not deductible for tax purposes and the total amount of goodwill is
reported under reportable segment for Products (Telecom &
Gaming).
In
accordance with SFAS 142, goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment
at least annually. The purchase price allocation for Take 1 acquisition is
based
on a management's estimates and overall industry experience. Immediately after
the signing of the definitive agreement, the Company obtained effective control
over Take 1. Accordingly, the operating results of Take 1 have been consolidated
with those of the Company starting January 05, 2007. Pursuant to SFAS 141
"Business Combinations", the earn-out consideration is considered contingent
consideration, which will not become certain unless the audited combined
after-tax profit of US$552,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Accordingly, the contingent consideration of 149,459 shares has not been
reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June
30,
2007.

15. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS.
1.
Lawsuit between PacificNet Power Limited and Johnson Controls Hong Kong Limited
(JCHKL), a subsidiary of Johnson Controls Inc. (NYSE:JCI) (www.jci.com
)
On
January 19, 2007, Johnson Controls Hong Kong Limited filed a claim against
PacificNet Power Limited (a 51% owned subsidiary of PacificNet) in the High
Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region seeking HK$4,800,000
as
payment for services rendered to replace 3 sets of rane water-cooled chillers,
together with energy saving performance (the "Chiller System"), at the Fortress
Tower in Hong Kong.
In
connection with the claim, PacificNet Power reviewed a letter from its client,
China Weal Property Management Ltd., dated January 22, 2007 stating that
the
construction work by JCHKL had not been completed as of the date of the letter,
and that certain violations itemized in a letter issued by the Hong Kong
Environment Protection Department (EPD) (Noise Abatement Notice No. N806030)
addressed to JCHKL with respect to acoustic problems with JCHKL’s equipment had
not been abated.
The
board
of directors of PacificNet Power Limited has reviewed the case with its client,
China Weal Property Management Ltd., and our Hong Kong legal counsel and
it is
our belief that the project work undertaken JCHKL is defective in numerous
aspects, as evidenced by the letter from government letter issued by
EPD. As a result, we believe the construction work was not been
completed by JCHKL, and therefore, JCHKL is not entitled to payment for its
services.
On
February 13, 2007, we instructed our Hong Kong legal counsel to issue a Defense
and Counterclaim to JCHKL to counter-claim that ( i) JCHKL's construction
work
has not complied with the applicable rules and regulations of various government
authorities in Hong Kong; (ii) the Chiller System provided by JCHKL was
defective and merchantable unfit and JCHKL has failed and/or refused to rectify
such defective works; and (iii) JCHKL shall return the work deposit in the
amount of HK$1,500,000 to PacificNet Power Limited and shall
compensate and keep PacificNet Power Limited indemnified against all the
loss
and damages suffered as a result of any claims from the China Weal Property
Management Ltd.
The
case
is now in the discovery stage before proceeding to the stage of fixing a
date
for trial in the High Court of Hong Kong and we intend to vigorously defend
ourselves against the allegations. We are unable to predict the outcome of
these
actions, or a reasonable estimate of the range of possible loss, if
any.
2.
Lawsuit between PacificNet Power Limited and Johnson Controls Hong Kong Limited
(JCHKL), a subsidiary of Johnson Controls Inc. (NYSE:JCI) (www.jci.com
)
On
or
about December, 2005, Johnson Controls Hong Kong Limited approached PacificNet
Power Limited (a 51% owned subsidiary of PacificNet) and made a representation
that they had submitted a tender to “The Incorporated Owners of Nan Fung Centre,
Tsuen Wan (“the Employer”) for the “construction and replacement works of
existing air-cooled chiller plant by new water-cooled chiller plant for Tsuen
Wan Nan Fung Centre and energy saving performance contract” (“the Contract”).
JCHKL invited and induced PacificNet Power Limited to act as the main contractor
for the Contract and it would then act as a sub-contractor.
PacificNet
Power also expressly made known to JCHKL that the said construction and
replacement works and the guaranteed energy saving should meet all the tender
requirements if PacificNet Power accepted the invitation to act as the main
contractor for the Contract, and PacificNet Power further said that if there
should be any quality defects with the system and/ or the construction work,
the
Employer and/ or their prospective tenants would claim against JCHKL and
JCHKL
should compensate.
PacificNet
Power however received some correspondences and complaints from the Employer
about the poor and/ or sub-standard works done by JCHKL. PacificNet Power,
after
separate investigation, discovered the poor workmanship and sub-standard
works
done by JCHKL. PacificNet Power, after separate investigation, discovered
the
poor workmanship and sub-standard works done by JCHKL. Accordingly, the Employer
and/ or their representatives have delayed the monthly installments payment
to
PacificNet Power.
On
April
23, 2007, we instructed our lawyers issued a letter to the Defendant requesting
and demanding them, being the sub-contractor of the Construction and Replacement
Works Contract, to take immediate rectification action within seven days
from
the date of the said letter to (i) rectify and complete all outstanding
defective works of the Construction and Replacement Works Contract; (ii)
replace
the water-cooled chiller plant and/or equipments which are not conformed
with
the requirements of the tender documents previously submitted by the Defendant
to the Employer; and (iii) improve the poor performance of energy saving
of the
new water-cooled chiller plant.
Despite
the said letter, JCHKL had failed and/ or refused to rectify and complete
all
outstanding works and/ or replace the defective system. And therefore PacificNet
Power claims against JCHKL for: (i) refund HK$6,414,300.00, being the Contract
Price paid by PacificNet Power to JCHKL; (ii) costs and expenses incurred
by
Power to rectify all defective works of the Contract; (iii) all damage and
loss
suffered by PacificNet Power, and further and other relief.
On
July
25, 2007, JCHKL issued a Defense and Counterclaim to PacificNet Power to
argue
that: (i) they had carried out the works according to the Contract terms;
(ii)
the works had been approved by PKL Consultants Limited, the consultant
representative of the Employer; and (iii) a sum of HK$30,000 is still due
and
owing by PacificNet Power to JCHKL.
The
case
is now in the discovery stage before proceeding to the stage of fixing a
date
for trial in the High Court of Hong Kong. We are unable to predict the outcome
of these actions, or a reasonable estimate of the range of possible loss,
if
any.
16. RESTATEMENT
On
March
19, 2007 our predecessor auditor withdrew their opinion on our previously
filed
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 due to
uncertainties around certain option grants during the said period. An
independent investigation in this connection has been performed by our Audit
Committee to address this matter.
In
its
May 3, 2007 Report, the Audit Committee concluded that, “…the Audit Committee
did indeed find that, although the number and terms of option grants were
being
fixed by the Compensation Committee who deferred to the Board merely for
a
secondary review approval; whereby the Board of Directors still maintained
the
authority to cancel a prerequisite grant consummated by the Compensation
Committee, therefore that Grant could likely be interpreted only as final
at the
date of approval of the company’s Board of Directors. Hence, with this approach
which seems to be more aligned with the SEC interpretation, financial
restatement would be required to account for the granting of options that
were
“in the money” due to procedural administrative delay and the difference in the
Compensation Committee grant date and the Board of Directors approval date.
Accordingly, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors of
Pacificnet, Inc. to charge additional stock based compensation expense to
the
company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003,
2004 and 2005 respectively...”
Based
on
the Audit Committee Recommendations, extra stock-based compensation charges
of
approximately $0.3 million, $1.2 million and $0.1 million were charged to
each
of the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. the Company
determined that its allowance for bad debts on the accounts receivable was
understated by $3.5 Million and $0.28 million in the years ended December
31,
2005 and 2006, respectively. The Company also restated impairment of goodwill
for certain subsidiaries ($3.7 million and $2.6 million in the years ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively) and accrued certain 2005 bonus
payable
in 2006 amounting to $600,000. Also, the Company concluded that the
consolidation of certain entity (Yueshen) was wrongly reflected as the Company
did not have control over the management of the entity.
Following
the reaudit of its financial statements for
the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company restated its financials
statements for the year ended December 31, 2006.
In
the course of the financial statements restatement
for the year ended December 31, 2006, management has decreased total non-current
assets by $1 million worth of goodwill as a result of the re-audit restatement
to the ending goodwill balances as at December 31, 2005. Further, management
has
also decreased total selling, general and administrative expenses by an
aggregate of $6.3 million. Said decrease comprises of extra goodwill impairment
amounting to approximately $3.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively, already
charged to the restated Selling, General and Administrative expenses for
the
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. An impairment of investment of $1.2
million was also recorded for the year ended December 31, 2006 for an entity
disposed in 2006.
Following
the restatements of its financials statements for the years ended December
31,
2006, December 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and first quarter review for the
period ended March 31, 2007 the Company is now restating its second quarter
review for the period ended June 30, 2007, to account for the effects
of its prior periods restatements.

HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng (HLB), a firm of Chartered Accountants and Certified
Public Accountants, in the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region seeking refund of the professional fees, compensation of professional
fees and expenses for Company to engage and deploy new auditors to take
over the
incomplete audit works from the Defendant and returning and/or providing

any.
Pacificnet
Inc. vs Iroquois Master Fund, Ltd.
On

Debenture) in the principal amount of $3,000,000 and interest on the Convertible
Debenture due February 2009 (the ‘‘New Debenture’’) in the principal amount of
$420,000.
As
of
October 2, 2007, Iroquois claims that the outstanding principal amount of
the
Amended Debenture was $2,045,452, and accrued but unpaid interest amount
was
$30,682. Iroquois claims that, as of October 2, 2007, the mandatory
default amount, as calculated under the terms of the Amended Debenture due

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.
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.
In
the
beginning of the third quarter of 2006, the Chinese government announced
that it
would implement several new policies regarding mobile phone value-added service
providers effective from July 10, 2006. These policies include a “double
confirmation” policy and the requirement that value-added service providers
provide one-month trial subscriptions. By requiring that mobile phone customers
“double-confirm” their intention to purchase services, and by requiring free
subscriptions, the Chinese government has negatively affected value-added
service providers.
Inventory
Our
inventory purchases and commitments are made in order to build inventory
to meet
forecasted demand for our products. We perform a detailed assessment of
inventory for each period, which includes a review of, among other factors,
demand requirements, product life cycle and development plans, component
cost
trends, product pricing and quality issues. Based on this analysis, we record
adjustments to inventory for excess, obsolescence or impairment, when
appropriate, to reflect inventory at net realizable value. Revisions to our
inventory adjustments may be required if actual demand, component costs or
product life cycles differ from our estimates. In the event we were unable
to
sell our products, the demand for our products diminished, and/or other
competitors offered similar or better products, we would be forced to record
an
adjustment to inventory for impairment or obsolescence to reflect inventory
at
net realizable value. The accounting effect of this entry would be a charge
to
earnings, thereby reducing our net earnings.
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.
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.

Gaming
Market Overview on Macau, China
As
of the
end of 2006, Macau (a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic
of
China) has become the largest and fastest-growing gaming market in the world,
and surpassed the Las Vegas Strip in total revenues. According to statistics
provided by Macau government, in 2006, Macau's gaming revenues exceeded US$7
billion (MOP 56.2 billion patacas), surpassing the Las Vegas Strip gaming
revenues of US$6.6 billion. Macau borders Zhuhai City of Guangdong Province
of
China, one of the country's wealthiest and most developed regions and is
an hour
away from Hong Kong via ferry. In 2006, the number of tourists visiting Macau
reached an all-time record of 22 million, an increase of 17 percent compared
with 2005, of which 55% or 12 million visitors were from mainland China.
At the
end of 2006, there were 22 casinos, 83 hotels and similar establishments
in
Macau with close to 13,000 rooms. By 2010, the number of tourists is expected
to
nearly double to nearly 30 million visitors per year. Approximately one billion
people live within a three-hour flight of Macau. Numerous hotel, gaming,
and
other projects are in the works in Macau which are expected to add over 10,000
guest rooms and over 20,000 live entertainment seats in eight separate venues.
The number of hotel-casinos in operation and in development in Macau continues
to grow, including well-known Chinese names such as Galaxy and Melco, and
famous
Las Vegas names such as the Sands, the Venetian, Wynn Resort and Crown Macau.
With the disposable income of the average Chinese on the rise, Macau's gaming
and entertainment market is expected to grow for years to come. Macau is
the
only area in China where gambling is legal.

first
half of the year, respectively. Segmented financial information of the three

Outsourcing
services: Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007
were $3,767,000 and $7,729,000, which represent a year-over-year
increase
of 7% and 18% as compared to the same period of 2006. The increase
was
primarily due to the growth in outsourcing call center in Hong
Kong. In
spite of call volume growth (of 14%, 6%, 54% and 18%, respectively)
in
inbound and outbound calling lists, in-sourcing operators and sub-contract
American Express and MetLife call centers, real revenue growth
from
outsourcing call center is held back by competitive pricing. Revenue
from
outsourcing software largely remained steady from prior periods.

revenues for the second quarter and first half of
FY2007.

and delivery services provider for mobile phone accessories of Motorola in

INCOME
/ (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS
On
a
quarter-over-quarter basis, income from operations amounted to $347,000 and
$1,147,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 respectively,
an
increase of 102% and 393% as compared to the same periods of 2006 respectively.
Segmented operating income of $241,000, $353,000 and $378,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 were generated from the Company's three business
groups: (1) Outsourcing Services, (2) Telecom Value-Added Services, and (3)
Products (Telecom & Gaming) Services, respectively. This compared to
operating income of $233,000, $82,000 and $340,000 from the same
groups for the same period last year, respectively. Segmented operating incomes
of $641,000, $349,000 and $1,623,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007
were
generated from the Company's three business groups, which increased 46%,
108%
and 311% as compared to operating incomes of $439,000, $168,000 and
$395,000 from the same groups for the same period of the prior year,
respectively. Significant increase in high quality operating income derived
from
gaming related operations provides a clear confirmation to the company’s newly
adopted gaming technology strategy. Operating income from the gaming technology
business accounted for 14% and 28% of the total operating income for the
second
quarter and first half of the year, respectively. Likewise, operating income
from sale of electronic slot machines accounted for 53% and 50% of the total
operating income for the respective period of the year.
INCOME
TAXES
Management
has made an income tax provision adjustment of $22,000 in the second quarter
of
FY2007, thus $46,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared
to
$30,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. 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, however, expect our income taxes to increase
as our net income increases and the tax holidays we have benefited from in
Hong
Kong and the PRC expire.
MINORITY
INTERESTS
Minority
interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $340,000
and
$874,000 compared with $179,000 and $265,000 for the same period of the prior
year, respectively, representing minority ownership interests in subsidiaries
consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NET
INCOME
On
a
year-over-year basis, net income for the three and six months ended June
30,
2007 recorded $244,000 and $(419,000) respectively. Net Loss is primarily
due to
the loss on disposal of discontinued operations of ($971,000), which is
a
one-time, non-cash charge caused by the disposal of our telecom assets
related
to Guangzhou 3G. The loss is also the result of higher accounting expenses
due to the re-audit process.
CASH
Net
cash
and cash equivalents at June 30, 2007 were approximately $4.73 million, an
increase of approximately $2.83 million compared to December 31, 2006. This
was primarily due to successful collection of certain doubtful debts of
approximately $0.69 million and $5.7 million for the net proceeds from issuance
of convertible debenture for the Company’s gaming technology business, net of
acquisition of property and equipment of approximately $1.93
million.
