by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments that,

presented. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future
period. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in

and nature of operations
|
Asia
Time
Corporation (the “Company”), formerly SRKP 9, Inc., was incorporated in the
State of Delaware on January 3, 2006. Effective January 23, 2007, the Company
changed its name from SRKP 9, Inc. to Asia Time Corporation.
Recapitalization
The
Company entered into an Exchange Agreement dated December 15, 2006 (the
“Exchange Agreement”) with Times Manufacture & E-Commerce Corporation
Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation (“Times Manufacture”), and Kwong
Kai Shun, the sole shareholder of Times Manufacture (“Original Shareholder”).
The closing of the Exchange Agreement occurred on January 23, 2007.
The
Company effected a 1.371188519-for-one stock reverse split in the course of
the
share exchange process such that there were 3,702,209 shares of common stock
outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Exchange Agreement. These
financial statements give retroactive effect to this share split.
At
the
closing of the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the capital
shares of Times Manufacture from the Original Shareholder, in exchange for
which
the Company issued 19,454,420 shares of its Common Stock to the Original
Shareholder. The 19,454,420 shares of common stock issued to the Original
Shareholder in conjunction with this transaction have been presented as
outstanding for all periods presented.
The
Original Shareholder of Times Manufacture acquired 84% of the Company’s issued
and outstanding common stock in conjunction with the completion of the Exchange
Agreement. Therefore, although Times Manufacture became the Company’s
wholly-owned subsidiary, the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization
in the form of a reverse merger of Times Manufacture, whereby Times Manufacture
was deemed to be the accounting acquirer and was deemed to have retroactively
adopted the capital structure of SRKP 9, Inc. Since the transaction was
accounted for as a reverse merger, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements reflect the historical consolidated financial statements of Times
Manufacture for all periods presented, and do not include the historical
financial statements of SRKP 9, Inc. All costs associated with the reverse
merger transaction were expensed as incurred.
The
Company agreed to register the 1,999,192 shares of common stock that were held
by certain of the Company’s shareholders immediately prior to the closing of the
Exchange Agreement. If the Company fails to register 1,999,192 shares due to
failure on the part of the Company, additional shares of its common stock shall
be issued to the respective shareholders in the amount of 0.0333% of their
respective shares for each calendar day until the registration becomes
effective. There is no maximum potential consideration to be transferred in
connection with the registration of these shares. The Company agreed to file
a
registration statement no later than the tenth day after the end of the nine
month period that immediately follows the filing date of the initial
registration statement (the "Required Filing Date"). The Company agreed to
use
reasonable best efforts to cause such registration
statement
to become effective within 120 days after the Required Filing Date or the actual
filing date, whichever is earlier, or 150 days after the Required Filing Date
or
the actual filing date, whichever is earlier, if the registration statement
is
subject to a full review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In
addition, the Company agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain
the
registration statement effective for a period of 24 months at the Company's
expense.

Restructuring
For
the
purpose of the reverse takeover transaction (“RTO”), the companies comprising
the group underwent a restructuring in December 2005 (the “Restructuring”), and
the Company acquired all of the outstanding and issued shares of common stock
of
its subsidiaries (including Times Manufacturing & E-Commerce Corporation
Limited (“TMEHK”), Billion Win International Enterprise Limited (“BW”), Citibond

consideration for the issuance of 20,000 shares with a designated value of
$1.00
of the company’s voting common stock, representing 99.99% of the voting power in
the company.
Before
acquisition of TME HK group, TME HK acquired all of the outstanding and issued
shares of common stock of its subsidiaries (including BW, CI, GI and MI) from

Summary
of significant accounting
policies
|
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
Principle
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Asia Time Corporation
and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of
estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles requires management of the Group to
make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts
of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts
of
revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such
estimates and assumptions include the recoverability of the carrying amount
of
property and equipment, intangible assets; the collectibility of accounts
receivable; the realizability of deferred tax assets; the realizability of
inventories; and amounts recorded for contingencies. These estimates are often
based on complex judgments and assumptions that management believes to be
reasonable but are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Actual results may
differ from those estimates.
Concentrations
of credit risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Group to significant concentrations
of
credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Group extends credit
based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, generally without
requiring collateral or other security. In order to minimize the credit risk,
the management of the Group has delegated a team responsibility for
determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures
to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. Further,
the
Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at each
balance sheet date to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for
irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Group consider
that
the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.
Restricted
cash
Certain
cash balances are held as security for short-term bank borrowings and are
classified as restricted cash in the Company’s balance
sheets.

Summary

(Continued)
|
Accounts
receivable
Accounts
receivable are stated at original amount less an allowance made for doubtful
receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year
end. An allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Group
will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms
of
the receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Group extends
unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business and believes
all
accounts receivable in excess of the allowances for doubtful receivables to
be
fully collectible. The Group does not accrue interest on trade accounts
receivable.
The
Group
has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on
an
ongoing basis credit evaluations are preferred on all customers requiring credit
over a certain amount.
During
the reporting period, the Group did not experience any bad debts and,
accordingly, did not make any allowance for doubtful debts.
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in,
first-out basis and includes only purchase costs. There are no significant
freight charges, inspection costs and warehousing costs incurred for any of
the
periods presented. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories,
management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current
or committed inventory levels. The Company has vendor arrangements on the
purchase of watch movements providing for price reduction paid in the form
of
additional watch movements. The percentage of additional movements to be
received by the Company from these vendors is estimated and inventory costs
are
reduced to reflect the effect of these additional movements on the actual cost
of the items in inventory. During the reporting period, the Company did not
make
any allowance for slow-moving or defective inventories.
Leasehold
lands
Leasehold
lands, representing upfront payment for land use rights, are capitalized at
their acquisition cost and amortized using the straight-line method over the
lease terms.

Subsequently, they are stated in the balance sheet at amortized cost using
the
effective interest method less any identified impairment losses.

Summary

(Continued)
|
Property
and equipment
(Continued)
Property
and equipment, and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets
to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash
flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed
of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower
of
the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer
depreciated.
Revenue
recognition
Sales
of
goods represent the invoiced value of goods, net of sales returns, trade
discounts and allowances.
The
Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered and the customer takes
ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is
probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price
is
fixed or determinable. The Company provides pre and post sales service to its
customers related to inventory management information in order to facilitate
and
manage sales to customers. By providing such services to keep track of
customers’ inventory levels, the Company can manage and replenish inventory
levels on a timely basis. The Company’s integration, design and development and
management services provide customers with watch design assistance, components
outsourcing or other project support, and are generally completed prior to
a
sale and do not continue post-delivery. There is no requirement that these
services be provided for a sale to take place, nor is there any objective or
reliable evidence of a separate fair value, or if no longer offered or ceased
to
be offered would a right of return be created for the goods sold. The Company
believes these services are part of the sales process and are not a customer
deliverable, and are therefore charged to selling expense or cost of sales,
as
appropriate.
Advertising
and promotion expenses
Advertising
and promotion expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Advertising
and promotion expenses amounted to $Nil during each of the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

Income
taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts
of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating
loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date.
Comprehensive
income
Other
comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under
U.S. GAAP are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income
as these amounts are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity. The
Company’s other comprehensive income represented foreign currency translation
adjustments.
Foreign
currency translation
The
functional currency of the Group is Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”). The Group
maintains its financial statements in the functional currency. Monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency
are
translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at
the
balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the
functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges
rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses
arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination
of
net income for the respective periods.

Fair
value of financial instruments
The
carrying values of the Group’s financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, deposits, trade
and
other payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity
of
such instruments. The carrying amounts of borrowings approximate their fair
values because the applicable interest rates approximate current market
rates.
Basic
and diluted earnings per share
The
Company computes earnings per share (“EPS’) in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”),
and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”). SFAS No. 128
requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted
EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common
shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for
the
period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect
on
a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities,
options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the
periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that
have
an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease
loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted
EPS.

Interest
rate risk
The
Group
is exposed to interest rate risk arising from short-term variable rate
borrowings from time to time. The Group’s future interest expense will fluctuate
in line with any change in borrowing rates. The Group does not have any
derivative financial instruments for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
and 2007 and believes its exposure to interest rate risk is not
material.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based
Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), a revision to SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation”. SFAS 123R requires that the Company measure the cost of employee
services received in exchange for equity awards based on the grant date fair
value of the awards, with the cost to be recognized as compensation expense
in
the Company’s financial statements over the vesting period of the awards.
Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation cost for equity-based
compensation for all new or modified grants issued after December 31, 2005.
The
Company did not have equity awards outstanding at December 31,
2005.
The
Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to
non-employees in accordance with EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments
that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with
Selling, Goods or Services”, and EITF 00-18, “Accounting Recognition for Certain
Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees”,
whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date
as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is
reached or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity
instruments is complete.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded $700,000
and $1,652,205, respectively, as a charge to operations to recognize the grant
date fair value of stock-based compensation in conjunction with the Escrow
Agreement described at Note 16.

Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-1
“Application
of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting
Pronouncements. That address Fair Value Measurement for Purposes of Lease
Classification or Measurement under Statement 13,” and FSP FAS 157-2, “Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157.”
FSP FAS
157-1 amends the scope of SFAS No. 157 and other accounting standards that
address fair value measurements for purpose of lease classification or
measurement under Statement 13. The FSP is effective on initial adoption of
Statement 157, FSP FAS 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities, exception those that are recognized or disclosed
at
fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company does
not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2 will have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),
“Business
Combinations”
and SFAS
No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements –
an
amendment to ARB No. 51”
.
SFAS
No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 require most identifiable assets, liabilities,
noncontrolling interests and goodwill acquired in business combination to be
recorded at “full fair value” and require noncontrolling interests (previously
referred to as minority interests) to be reported as a component of equity,
which changes the accounting for transactions with noncontrolling interest
holders. Both statements are effective for periods beginning on or after
December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 141(R) will
be
applied to business combinations occurring after the effective date. SFAS No.
160 will be applied prospectively to all noncontrolling interests, including
any
that arose before the effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact
of
adopting SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial statements.
In
March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,
“Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,”
which
requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging
activities. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company
does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material impact on its
results of operations and financial position.
In
May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162,
“The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”
(“SFAS
162”). This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the
framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial
statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). With the issuance of this
statement, the FASB concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed toward
the entity and not its auditor, and reside in the accounting literature
established by the FASB as opposed to the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69,
“The
Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.”
This
statement is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
amendments to AU Section 411,
“The
Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.”
The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 will have a material impact
on
its results of operations and financial position.

Convertible
Bonds and Bond Warrants

On
November 13, 2007, the Company completed a financing transaction with ABN AMRO
Bank N.V. (the “Subscriber”) issuing (i) $8,000,000 Variable Rate Convertible
Bonds due in 2012 (the “Bonds”) and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of
600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to adjustments for stock
splits or reorganizations as net forth in the warrant, that expire in 2010
(the
“Warrants“).
The
Bonds
were subscribed at a price equal to 97% of their principal amount, which is
the
issue price of 100% less a 3% commission to the Subscriber. The Bonds were
issued pursuant to, and are subject to the terms and conditions of, a trust
deed
dated November 13, 2007, as amended, between the Company and The Bank of New
York, London Branch (the “Trust Deed“). The Bonds are also subject to a paying
and conversion agency agreement dated November 13, 2007 between the Company,
The
Bank of New York, and The Bank of New York, London Branch. The terms and
conditions of the Bonds, as set forth in the Trust Deed include, among other
thing, the following terms:

The
Bonds bear cash interest from November 13, 2007 at the rate of 6% per annum
for
the first year after November 13, 2007 and 3% per annum thereafter, of the
principal amount of the Bonds.
-
Conversion.
Each
Bond is convertible at the option of the holder at any time on a date that
is
365 days after the date that the Company’s securities are traded on NYSE
Alternext US (formerly known as the American Stock Exchange) (“Alternext”)
through March 28, 2012, into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial
conversion price equal to the price per share at which shares are sold in the
Company’s proposed initial public offering of common stock on the Alternext with
minimum gross proceeds of $2,000,000. If no initial public offering occurs
prior
to conversion, the conversion price per share will be $2.00, subject to
adjustment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bonds. The
conversion price was adjusted to $3.50 based on the Company’s initial public
offering completed in February 2008. The conversion price is subject to
adjustment in certain events, including the Company’s issuance of additional
shares of common stock or rights to purchase common stock at a per share or
per
share exercise or conversion price, respectively, at less than the applicable
per share conversion price of the Bonds. If for the period of 20 consecutive
trading days immediately prior to April 12, 2009 or February 18, 2012, the
conversion price for the Bonds is higher than the average closing price for
the
shares, then the conversion price will be reset to such average closing price;
provided that, the conversion price will not be reset lower than 70% of the
then
existing conversion price. In addition, the Trust Deed provides that the
conversion price of the Bonds cannot be adjusted to lower than $0.25 per share
of common stock (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, spin-offs,
rights offerings, recapitalizations and similar events).
-
Mandatory Redemptions.
If
either (i) the Company’s common stock (including the shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion of the Bonds and exercise of the Warrants) are not
listed on Alternext on or before August 13, 2008 or (ii) the Company breaches
certain of its obligations to timely register the Bonds, Warrants and underlying
shares pursuant to the registration rights agreement dated November 13, 2007
entered into by and between the Subscriber and the Company, then holders of
the
Bonds can require the Company to redeem the Bonds at 104.53% of the principal
amount of the Bonds at any time after November 13, 2008. In addition, at any
time after November 13, 2010, holders of the Bonds can require the Company
to
redeem the Bonds at 126.51% of the principal amount. The Company is required
to
redeem any outstanding Bonds at 150.87% of its principal amount on November
13,
2012.
On
November 13, 2007, the Company entered into a warrant instrument with the
Subscriber pursuant to which the Subscriber purchased the Warrants from the
Company (the “Warrants Instrument”). The Warrants, which are represented by a
global certificate, are also subject to a warrant agency agreement by and among
the Company, The Bank of New York and The Bank of New York, London Branch dated
November 13, 2007 (the “Warrant Agency Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Warrant Instrument and the Warrant Agency Agreement, the
Warrants vested on November 13, 2007 and will terminate on November 13, 2010.
The Bond Warrants are exercisable at a per share exercise price of $0.01. The
Company has agreed to list the Warrant on Alternext, or any alternative stock

On
November 13, 2007 the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement
with the Subscriber pursuant to which the Company agreed to include the Bonds,
the Warrants, and the shares of common stock underlying the Bonds and Warrants
in a pre-effective amendment to registration statement that the Company have
on
file with the SEC. Subsequently, the Company verbally agreed with the Subscriber
not to include the Subscriber’s securities in this registration statement and to
register them in a separate registration statement to be filed promptly after
the effective date of this registration statement.
At
November 13, 2007, the date of issuance, the Company determined the fair value
of the Bonds to be $7,760,000. The Warrants and the beneficial conversion
feature were $1,652,701 and $6,107,299 respectively, which were determined
under
the Black-Scholes valuation method. They are included under stockholders’ equity
as additional paid in capital-stock warrants and additional paid in
capital-beneficial conversion feature respectively in accordance with guidance
of APB 14 and EITF No. 98-5. Accordingly, the interest discount on the Warrants
and beneficial conversion feature were recorded, and are being amortized by
the
interest method of 5 years. The Beneficial Conversion Feature was calculated
using a $2 conversion price. The conversion rate effective with the Company’s
initial public offering in February 2008 increased to $3.5. This change in
the
conversion rate will result in a reduction of the Beneficial Conversion Feature
by approximately $4 million dollars and will result in a reduction in additional
paid in capital and increase the bonds payable. The overall result in a
reduction in bond discounts.
As
addressed in an earlier paragraph under Mandatory Redemptions, the Company
will
redeem each bond at 150.87% of its principal amount on November 13, 2012 (the
maturity date). On the basis of this commitment, the Company has determined
the
total redemption premium to be $4,069,600, which is an addition to the original
face value of the Bonds of $8,000,000. This redemption premium is to be
amortized to interest expense over the term of the Bonds by the interest method.
Interest expense on the accretion of redemption premium for the period from
November 13, 2007 to June 30, 2008 amounted to $219,765 as disclosed in the
following schedule of Convertible Bonds Payable.

The
Company conducted a private placement (“Private Placement”) pursuant to
subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreement”) entered into by the
Company and certain investors. Pursuant to the Private Placement, the Company
sold an aggregate of 2,250,348 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
(“Series A Preferred Stock”) at $1.29 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of
$2,902,947.
At
the
initial closing of the Private Placement on January 23, 2007, the Company sold
an aggregate of 1,749,028 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. At the second
and
final closing of the Private Placement on February 9, 2007, the Company sold
an
aggregate of 501,320 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
The
shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock were convertible into shares of
common stock at a conversion price equal to the share purchase price, subject
to
adjustments. Accordingly, each share of Series A Preferred Stock was initially
convertible into one share of common stock. All of the Series A Preferred Stock
were converted into common stock during the nine months ended September 30,
2008.

If
the
Company at any time prior to the first trading day on which the common stock
was
quoted on the Alternext, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market
or
the New York Stock Exchange (each a “Trading Market”) sold or issued any shares
of common stock in one or a series of transactions at an effective price
less
than such conversion price where the aggregate gross proceeds to the Company
were at least $1,000,000, then the aforementioned conversion price was to
be
reduced to such effective price. Each share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock would automatically convert into shares of common stock if
(i) the closing price of the common stock on the Trading Market for any 10
consecutive trading day period exceeds $3.00 per share, (ii) the shares of
common stock underlying the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are
subject to an effective registration statement, and (iii) the daily trading
volume of the common stock on a Trading Market exceeds 25,000 shares per
day for
10 out of 20 prior trading days.
The
Company agreed to file, and did file, a registration statement covering the
common stock underlying the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock sold in
the
Private Placement within 30 days of the closing of the Share Exchange pursuant
to the Subscription Agreement with each investor. The Company agreed to a
penalty provision with respect to its obligation to register the Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock. If the Company failed to register the Series
A
Convertible Preferred Stock due to failure on the part of the Company, the
Company would pay to the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
a cash
payment equal to 0.0333% of the purchase price of their respective shares
for
each business day of the failure. There was no maximum potential consideration
to be transferred. The Company was required to file the registration statement
no later than 30 days after the consummation of the Private Placement and
agreed
to use reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become
effective within 150 days after the closing of the Private Placement, or
180
days if the Registration Statement is subject to a full review by the SEC.
The
Company is also required to use its reasonable best effort to maintain the
Registration Statement effective for a period of 24 months at the Company's
expense.
The
investors in the Private Placement also entered into a lock-up agreement
pursuant to which they agreed not to sell their shares until the Company’s
common stock begins to be listed or quoted on the New York Stock Exchange,
Alternext, NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Capital Market or the OTC Bulletin
Board, after which their shares will automatically be released from the lock
up
every 30 days on a pro rata over a nine month period beginning on the date
that
is 30 days after listing or quotation of the shares. The Company’s common stock
began trading on Alternext in February 2008.

In
connection with the Private Placement, in January and February 2007, Kwong
Kai
Shun, the Company's Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, entered into an agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with the
investors in the Private Placement pursuant to which Mr. Kwong agreed to
place
2,326,000 shares of his common stock in escrow for possible distribution
to the
investors (the "Escrow Shares"). Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, if the
Company's net income for 2006 or 2007 (subject to specified adjustments)
as set
forth in its filings with the SEC is less than $6,300,000 or $7,700,000,
respectively, a portion, if not all, of the Escrow Shares will be transferred
to
the investors
based
upon the Company's actual net income, if any, for such fiscal years. In
addition, Mr. Kwong had agreed to purchase all of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock then held by such investors at a per share purchase price
of
$1.29 if the Company's common stock fafailed to be listed or quoted for trading
on the
Alternext
,
the
Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the New York Stock Exchange
on or before June 30, 2007, which has been subsequently extended to March
31,
2008. The number of shares that Mr. Kwong would distribute to shareholders
would
be determined by the number of shares of common stock that have not been
sold by
the investors, multiplied by the shortfall in a valuation agreed upon by
the
parties. The agreed upon shortfall in valuation would be calculated using
the
$1.29 purchase price per share of the common stock, the actual amount of
net
income for either 2006 or 2007 (subject to specified adjustments) and a price
earnings ratio set at 5 for 2006 and 4 for 2007. In no circumstances would
Mr.
Kwong be required to distribute in excess of 2,326,000 shares. If the event
Mr.
Kwong would have been required to transfer shares to investors, it was
anticipated that the transfer would have been effected under an exemption
from
registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The
Company has accounted for the Escrow Shares as the equivalent of a
performance-based compensatory stock plan between the Company and Mr. Kwong.
Accordingly, the Company determined the fair value of the stock-based
compensation related to the Escrow Shares by employing a binomial tree model,
which is commonly used to value performance-based equity compensation packages.
The valuation model used a volatility factor of 57%, a risk-free interest
rate
of 5.7%, and weekly steps to incorporate various possible scenarios for net
income and common stock price. The probability at each quarter-end represents
the probability of achieving the annual 2006 and 2007 net income targets
specified in the Escrow Agreement. This quarterly probability is a time-weighted
average of the implicit probabilities of achieving each net income target.
The
probabilities are calculated using multi-period scenario analyses through
a
backward induction tree, which generated an aggregate fair value for the
Escrow
Shares of $2,433,650. The inputs to the valuation mode were based on actual
quarterly net income and estimates made by the Company that the required
annual
net income would be equaled or exceeded.
As
the
performance conditions under this compensatory stock plan relate to the
attainment of specific defined net income milestones for both 2006 and 2007,
the
Company has determined that the appropriate period over which to recognize
the
charge to operations for the aggregate fair value of this compensatory stock
plan of $2,433,650 is the 11-month period from February 2007 through December
2007, which is the period of vesting (which is equivalent to the period of
benefit), since this is the period in which the Escrow Shares are subject
to the
Escrow Agreement.
The
Company met the 2006 and 2007 net income requirement of $6,300,000 and
$7,700,000, respectively, and the Escrow Shares had fully returned to Mr.
Kwong
on April 1, 2008.

If
the
Company had paid a stock dividend on the shares of common stock, subdivide
outstanding shares of common stock into a larger number of shares, combine,
through a reverse stock split, outstanding shares of the common stock into
a
smaller number of shares or issues, in the event of a reclassification of
shares
of the common stock, any shares of capital stock, then the conversion price
of
the Series A Preferred Stock would have been adjusted as follows: the conversion
price would have been multiplied by a fraction, of which (i) the numerator
would
have be the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately before
one
of the events described above and (ii) the denominator would have been the
number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after such
event.
Holder
of
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had the right to one vote per share
of
common stock issuable upon conversion of the shares underlying any shares
of
Preferred Stock outstanding as of the record date for purposes of determining
which holders had the right to vote with respect to any matters brought to
a
vote before the Company’s holders of common stock.
In
the
event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the
holders
of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were entitled to receive in
preference to the holders of common stock an amount per share of $1.29 plus
any
accrued but unpaid dividends. If the Company’s assets were insufficient to pay
the above amounts in full, then all of the Company’s assets would have been
ratably distributed among the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock in accordance with the respective amounts that would have been payable
on
such shares if all amounts payable were paid in full.
There
were no additional specific dividend rights or redemption rights of holders
of
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
If
the
Company redeemed or acquired any shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock are converted, those shares would have resumed the status of authorized
but unissued shares of preferred stock and would have been no longer designated
as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
As
long
as any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding, the
Company could not alter or adversely change the powers, preference or rights
given to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock holders, without the
affirmative vote of those holders.
On
January 16, 2008, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Public
Equity Group Inc. Pursuant to the agreement, Public Equity Group will provide
the Company with business consulting and investor relation services and other
related services. The agreement has a term of one year, unless terminated
earlier with 60-days prior written notice. As consideration for entering
in the
agreement and compensation for Public Equity Group’s services under the
agreement, the Company issued 200,000 shares of its common stock to Public
Equity Group Inc.
On
February, 12, 2008, the Company’s common stock commenced trading on the
Alternext.

closing of an initial public offering. The Company’s sale of common stock, which
was sold indirectly by the Company to the public at a price of $3.50 per share,
resulted in net proceeds of $2,669,987. These proceeds were net of underwriting
discounts and commissions, fees for legal and auditing services, and other
offering costs.

No. 131,
Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
,
establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in
financial statements. Operating segments are defined as components of an
enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making
group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance.
For
management purposes, the Group is currently organized into two major principal
activities - trading of watch movements (components) and trading of completed
watches. These principal activities are the basis on which the Group reports
its
primary segment information.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATION
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly
report. This report contains forward-looking statements. The words
“anticipated,” “believe,” “expect, “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “estimate,”
“project,” “could,” “may,” and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These statements include, among others, information
regarding future operations, future capital expenditures, and future net cash
flow. Such statements reflect our management’s current views with respect to
future events and financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties,
including, without limitation, general economic and business conditions, changes
in foreign, political, social, and economic conditions, regulatory initiatives
and compliance with governmental regulations, the ability to achieve further
market penetration and additional customers, and various other matters, many
of
which are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
occur, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results
may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, estimated
or
otherwise indicated. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made
in
this quarterly report are qualified by these cautionary statements and there
can
be no assurance of the actual results or developments.
Overview
We
are a
distributor of watch movements components used in the manufacture and assembly
of watches to a wide variety of timepiece manufacturers. There are two
categories of watch movements, quartz and mechanical. The main parts of an
analog quartz watch movement are the battery; the oscillator, a piece of quartz
that vibrates in response to the electric current; the integrated circuit,
which
divides the oscillations into seconds; the stepping motor, which drives the
gear
train; and the gear train itself, which makes the watch’s hands move. A digital
watch movement has the same timing components as an analog quartz movement
but
has no stepping motor or gear train. To a lesser extent we also distribute
complete analog-quartz and automatic watches with pricing between $20.00 to
$70.00. Manufacturing for these watches is currently outsourced to third party
factories in China.
Our
core
customer base consists primarily of large wholesalers, online retailers and
small and medium-sized watch manufacturers that produce watches primarily for
sale to customers in Hong Kong and China. To a lesser extent, we design watches
for manufacturers and exporters of watches and manufacture and distribute
completed watches primarily to online retailers and internet
marketers.
We
are
mainly engaged in watch movement distribution business in Hong Kong and China
which accounted for approximately 89% of our revenue for the year ended December
31, 2007. We have distribution centers and strategically located sales offices
throughout Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (“China” or “PRC”). We
distribute more than 350 products from over 30 vendors, including such market
leaders as Citizen Group, Seiko Corporation and Ronda AG, to a base of over
350
customers primarily through our direct sales force. As a part and included
in
our sale of watch movements, we provide a variety of value-added services,
including automated inventory management services, integration, design and
development, management, and support services.
Corporate
Structure
We
were
incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 3, 2006. We were originally
organized as a “blank check” shell company to investigate and acquire a target
company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held
corporation. On January 23, 2007, we closed a share exchange transaction (“Share
Exchange”) pursuant to which we (i) issued 19,454,420 shares of our common stock
to acquire 100% equity ownership of Times Manufacture & E-Commerce
Corporation Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation (“Times Manufacture”),
which has eight wholly-owned subsidiaries, (ii) assumed the operations of Times
Manufacture and its subsidiaries, and (iii) changed our name from SRKP 9, Inc.
to Asia Time Corporation. Times Manufacture also paid an aggregate of $350,000
to the stockholders of SRKP 9, Inc. Times Manufacture was founded in January
2002 and is based in Hong Kong.
In
2005,
we re-aligned the structure and business functions of our subsidiaries to
clearly define the scopes our business objectives in order to strengthen our
ability to effectively conduct our business operations. Billion Win
International Enterprise Limited, or Billion Win, is our central sourcing
component. Billion Win, which is held indirectly through Times Manufacture,
procures and imports watch movements and distributes them to suppliers, volume
users in China, and two of our subsidiaries, Goldcome Industrial Limited, or
Goldcome, and Citibond Industrial Limited, or Citibond. Goldcome mainly focuses
it distributions to wholesalers and large manufacturers and Citibond focuses
on
distributions to small to medium size manufacturers. Megamooch International
Limited is a complete watch distributor and exporter targeting overseas buyers.
Another two subsidiaries, TME Enterprise Ltd. and Citibond Design Ltd., are
responsible for complete watch design for manufacturers and exporters and
handles large volume watch movement transactions between buyers and sellers
solely on a commission basis. Megamooch Online Ltd. operations are focused
on
complete watch marketing and distribution, with manufacturing being outsourced,
and it concentrates on overseas markets.
Watch
Movement Segment
Presently,
Hong Kong does not generally have watch movement manufacturing. Watch movements
are largely imported from Japan and Switzerland. The revenue for the watch
movement segment of our business for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
was $100.5 million, with a gross profit of $13.1 million, a 77.5% and 109.5%
increase, respectively, as compared to $56.6 million in revenue and $6.2 million
in gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The gross profit
margin increased to 13.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from
11.0% for the same period in 2007, primarily due to more diversified products
being promoted to customers and higher selling prices as a result of extended
credit terms to our customers, plus the introduction of mechanical movements
to
the market which generally have higher profit margins. We provide a wide product
spectrum of products ranging from mechanical movements to carrying major brands
as well as middle-low end China quartz movements. We believe carrying a wide
product spectrum enables us to provide a convenient one-stop provider for our
customers, which may result in higher sales per customer. We began to target
small to medium manufacturers in mid-2005 and our customer base has expanded
to
more than 350 watch manufacturers. In addition, we have extended our credit
period from an average of 30 days to 50 days to major customers that have
maintained a history of timely settlement of receivables. We believe that this
extension lead to an increase of purchase orders from those customers. We review
the credit status of each customer and periodically adjust the credit period
to
specific customers in an attempt to maximize business with each customer without
suffering significant credit risk.
Complete
Watch Segment
Revenue
of our complete watch segment was $14.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, a 73.7% increase compared to the same period in 2007 in
which revenue was $8.4 million. This segment contributed approximately 12.6%
of
our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to 12.9%
of revenue for the same period in 2007. Our main market positioning in China
is
on the middle-class adult, daily, sporty and classy design.

Comparison
of the three months ended September 30, 2008 with the three months ended
September 30, 2007
Net
sales
for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $40.0 million as compared
to
$23.0 million for the comparable period in 2007, an increase of $17.1 million,
or 74.3%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the sales of watch
movements. Net sales of movements was $36.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2008, accounting for approximately 91.4% of our total sales for
the period, an increase of 99.4% as compared to $18.4 million for the comparable
period in 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in volume
of movements from 26.2 million pieces to 33.6 million pieces in the comparable
three-month period in 2007 and 2008, respectively, and an increase in sales
of
middle to high-end movements. Sales of completed watches for the three months
ended September 30, 2008, was $3.4 million as compared to $4.6 million for
the
comparable period in 2007, a decrease of 25.5%. The total volume decreased
from
0.54 million pieces to 60,000 pieces, or 88.9%. The decrease was due to our
strategic shift to focus on high-end mechanical watches which have a longer
production lead time. The profit margin of mechanical and quartz watches was
approximately 40% and 20%, respectively, for the three months ended September
30, 2008.
Cost
of
sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $33.5 million, or 83.7%
of net sales, as compared to $18.4 million, or 80.1% of net sales, for the
same
period in 2007. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales
was
largely attributable to the increase in sales of watch movements as a percentage
of total revenue. These watch movements generally have higher costs of sales
as
compared to completed watches.
Gross
profit for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $6.5 million, or 16.3%
of net sales, compared to $4.6 million, or 19.9% of net sales for the same
period in 2007. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was
largely attributable to the increase in sales of watch movements as a percentage
of total revenue. These watch movements generally have lower gross profit margin
as compared to completed watches. Gross profit margins are usually a factor
of
product mix and demand for product. The gross profit margin of watch movements
increased from 13.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to 15.5%
for
the same period in 2008. The gross profit margin for completed watches for
the
three months ended September 30, 2008 was 24.5% as compared to 46.5% for the
comparable period in 2007. The decrease in gross profit margin for completed
watches was a result of management’s strategy to offer price discounts to
shorten our inventory cycle and in exchange for a decreased warranty period
on
the products, as opposed to 2007 in which we offered a long-term warranty.
Management believes that this new pricing strategy on completed watches in
2008
will reduce our exposure to the risk of return goods.
Other
income from operations was approximately $26,000 or 0.1% of net sales, for
the
three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to approximately $48,000,
or
0.2% of net sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease
was due to a decrease in income received from the license fees of intangible
assets as we had disposed of some websites in 2007.
Administrative
and other operating expenses were approximately $620,000, or 1.5% of net sales,
for the three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to approximately
$690,000, or 3.0% of net sales, for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease
was primarily due to a stock based compensation expense of approximately
$200,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2007, and we did not have
such
expense in the same period of 2008, offset by an increase in professional and
legal expense of $129,000 in the three months ended September 30,
2008.
Other
income from non-operating activities was approximately $25,000, or 0.1% of
net
sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to
approximately $40,000, or 0.2% of net sales, for the three months ended
September 30, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in bank
interest income, which was approximately $25,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2008, as compared to approximately $35,000 for the same period
in
2007.
Interest
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was approximately
$461,000, or 1.2% of net sales, as compared to approximately $317,000, or 1.4%
of net sales, in 2007. The increase was primarily due to the interest and
amortization on bonds of approximately $177,000 in three months ended September
30, 2008.
Income
taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were approximately $953,000,
or 2.4% of net sales, as compared to approximately $698,000, or 3.0% of net
sales for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in income
taxes was primarily due to an increase in the operating profit. The taxation
rate decreased from 17.5% for the period ended September 30, 2007 to 16.5%
for
the same period in 2008.
Net
income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $4.2 million, or 10.4%
of net sales, an increase of 44.5% over the comparable period in 2007 of $2.9
million, or 12.5% of net sales.
Comparison
of the nine months ended September 30, 2008 with the nine months ended September
30, 2007
Net
sales
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $115.0 million as compared
to
$65.0 million for the comparable period in 2007, an increase of $50.0 million,
or 77.0%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the sales of both
completed watches and watch movements. Net sales of movements was $100.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, accounting for approximately
87.4%
of our total sales for the period, an increase of 77.5% as compared to $56.6
million for the comparable period in 2007. The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase in volume of movements from 72.7 million pieces
to
88.2 million pieces in the comparable nine-month period in 2007 and 2008,
respectively, and an increase in sales of middle to high-end movements. Sales
of
completed watches for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, was $14.5
million as compared to $8.4 million for the comparable period in 2007, an
increase of 73.7%. The increase was due to a significant increase in sales
of
high-end mechanical watches partially offset by a decrease in low-end items.
The
total volume decreased from 0.97 million pieces to 0.24 million pieces, or
75.2%, in the comparable periods in 2007 and 2008, respectively. The decrease
was due to our strategic shift to focus on high-end mechanical watches which
have a longer production lead time.
The
increase in sales of high-end mechanical watches and decrease in low-end items
was a result of our strategic focus of our business on the high-end items which
have a higher growth potential. Management believes the profit margin of
mechanical watches is on the rise while the profit margin of quartz watches
will
further decline in 2008 and 2009. The profit margin of mechanical and quartz
watches was approximately 40% and 20%, respectively, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008.
Cost
of
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $97.5 million, or 84.8%
of net sales, as compared to $54.8 million, or 84.4% of net sales, for the
same
period in 2007. There were no significant changes on the cost of sales as a
percentage of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and same
period in 2007.
Gross
profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $17.5 million, or 15.2%
of net sales, compared to $10.1 million, or 15.6% of net sales for the same
period in 2007. There were no significant changes on the gross profit for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and same period in 2007. Gross profit
margins are usually a factor of product mix and demand for product. The gross
profit of watch movements as a percentage of net sales had increased from 11.0%
for the period ended September 30, 2007 to 13.0% of net sales for the same
period in 2008. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to an
increase in sales of higher-margin items. There was a decrease of gross profit
margin for completed watches for the nine months ended September 30, 2008,
which
was 30.1% of net sales as compared to 46.5% of net sales for the comparable
period in 2007. The decrease in profit margin was due to the decrease in profit
margin of low-end items as we were making clearance sales to move away from
our
low-end watches to focus our sales efforts on high-end items in accordance
to
our long-term strategy. Another reason of the decrease was the change in
management’s strategy to offer price discounts to shorten our inventory cycle
and in exchange for a decreased warranty period on the products, as opposed
to
2007 in which we offered a long-term warranty. Management believes that this
new
pricing strategy on completed watches in 2008 will reduce our exposure to the
risk of return goods.
Other
income from operations was approximately $77,000 or 0.1% of net sales for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to approximately $145,000
or
0.2% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease
was
due to a decrease in income received from the license fees of intangible assets
as we had disposed of some websites in 2007.
Administrative
and other operating expenses were $2.9 million, or 2.5% of net sales for the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $3.3 million, or 5.1%
of
net sales for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in administrative
and
other operating expenses in amount and as a percentage of net sales was
primarily due to a one-time recognition of approximately $1.9 million of
stock-based compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 related
to the Escrow Shares provided by our CEO, Kwong Kai Shun, pursuant to the
Private Placement agreement entered into with our investors, and there is no
such expense in the same period in 2008, partially offset by (i) a recognition
of stock-based business consulting fee during the nine month ended 2008 of
approximately $700,000 valued at $3.50, the offering price in our public
offering, and (ii) an increase in professional fees related to reporting
requirements as a public company in 2008. Management considers these expenses
as
a percentage of net sales to be a key performance indicator in managing our
business.
Other
income from non-operating activities was approximately $136,000, or 0.1% of
net
sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to
approximately $118,000, or 0.2% of net sales, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. The increase was primarily due to an increase in bank
interest income, which was approximately $130,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, as compared to approximately $112,000 for the same period
in
2007.
Interest
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $1.5 million, or 1.3%
of net sales, as compared to approximately $831,000, or 1.3% of net sales in
the
same period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to the interest and
amortization on bonds of $637,000 in nine months ended September 30,
2008.
Income
taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $2.4 million, or 2.1%
of
net sales, as compared to approximately $1.4 million, or 2.2% of net sales
for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in income taxes was
primarily due to an increase in the operating profit. The taxation rate
decreased from 17.5% for the period ended September 30, 2007 to 16.5% for the
same period in 2008.
Net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $9.8 million, 8.6%
of
net sales, as compared to 3.9 million, or 6.0% of net sales for the comparable
period in 2007.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
Other
than the Escrow Agreement and Escrow Shares, as described in the notes to the
financial statements, we do not have any off-balance sheet debt, nor do we
have
any transactions, arrangements or relationships with any special purpose
entities.
Contractual
Obligations
Other
than those commitments and obligations being entered into in the normal course
of business, we do not have any additional, material capital commitments and
obligations due to other parties.
Inflation
and Seasonality
Inflation
and seasonality have not had a significant impact on our operations during
the
last two fiscal years.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of
assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the
date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues, expenses and allocated charges during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
We
describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
as
of and for the year ended December 31, 2007. We discuss our critical accounting
policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of
and
for the year ended December 31, 2007. Other than as indicated in this quarterly
report, there have been no material revisions to the critical accounting
policies as filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year
ended
December 31, 2007 with the SEC on March 31, 2008.
Stock-based
compensation
Effective
January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”
(“SFAS 123R”), a revision to SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation”. SFAS 123R requires that we measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for equity awards based on the grant date fair value of
the
awards, with the cost to be recognized as compensation expense in our financial
statements over the vesting period of the awards. Accordingly, we recognize
compensation cost for equity-based compensation for all new or modified grants
issued after December 31, 2005. We account for stock option and warrant grants
issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with EITF 96-18, “Accounting
for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring,
or
in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”, and EITF 00-18, “Accounting
Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to
Other Than Employees”, whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon
the measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance
commitment is reached or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance
to
earn the equity instruments is complete.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded approximately $1,652,205
as a charge to operations to recognize the grant date fair value of stock-based
compensation in conjunction with the Escrow Agreement. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2008, we did not record any charge to operations to
recognize the grant date fair value of stock-based compensation in conjunction
with the Escrow Agreement.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-1
“Application
of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting
Pronouncements. That address Fair Value Measurement for Purposes of Lease
Classification or Measurement under Statement 13,” and FSP FAS 157-2, “Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157.”
FSP FAS
157-1 amends the scope of SFAS No. 157 and other accounting standards that
address fair value measurements for purpose of lease classification or
measurement under Statement 13. The FSP is effective on initial adoption of
Statement 157, FSP FAS 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2008 for all nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities, exception those that are recognized or disclosed
at
fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company does
not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2 will have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),
“Business
Combinations”
and SFAS
No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements -
an
amendment to ARB No. 51”
.
SFAS
No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 160 require most identifiable assets, liabilities,
noncontrolling interests and goodwill acquired in business combination to be
recorded at “full fair value” and require noncontrolling interests (previously
referred to as minority interests) to be reported as a component of equity,
which changes the accounting for transactions with noncontrolling interest
holders. Both statements are effective for periods beginning on or after
December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 141(R) will
be
applied to business combinations occurring after the effective date. SFAS No.
160 will be applied prospectively to all noncontrolling interests, including
any
that arose before the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of adopting SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated financial
statements.
In
March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,
“Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,”
which
requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging
activities. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company
does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material impact on its
results of operations and financial position.
In
May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162,
“The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”
(“SFAS
162”). This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the
framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial
statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). With the issuance of this
statement, the FASB concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed toward
the entity and not its auditor, and reside in the accounting literature
established by the FASB as opposed to the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69,
“The
Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.”
This
statement is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
amendments to AU Section 411,
“The
Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.”
The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 will have a material impact
on
its results of operations and financial position.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
To
provide liquidity and flexibility in funding our operations, we borrow amounts
under bank facilities and other external sources of financing. As of September
30, 2008 we had general banking facilities amounted to approximately $24.8
million for overdraft, letter of credit, trust receipt, invoice financing and
export loans granted by seven banks. The amount increased by $9.6 million
compared to $15.2 million as at September 30, 2007. Interest on the facilities
ranged from minus 2.00% to 0.75% over the Bank’s Best Lending Rate of Hong Kong
(Prime Rate) or Hong Kong Inter Bank Offered Rate (HIBOR). These banking
facilities were secured by the leasehold properties, time deposits and held-to
maturity investments of the group and personal guarantees executed by our
Chairman of the Board.
On
February 15, 2008, we completed an initial public offering consisting of 963,700
shares of our common stock. Our sale of common stock, which was sold indirectly
by us to the public at a price of $3.50 per share, resulted in net proceeds
of
approximately $2.7 million. These proceeds were net of underwriting discounts
and commissions, fees for legal and auditing services, and other offering costs.
Upon the closing of the initial public offering, we sold to the underwriter
warrants to purchase up to 83,800 shares of our common stock. The warrants
are
exercisable at a per share price of $4.20 and will expire if unexercised after
five years from the date of issuance.
On
November 13, 2007, we completed a financing transaction pursuant to which we
issued $8,000,000 Variable Rate Convertible Bonds that will be due in 2012.
The
Bonds were subscribed at a price equal to 97% of their principal amount, which
is the issue price of 100% less a 3% commission to the Subscriber of the Bonds.
The Bonds bear cash interest at the rate of 6% per annum for the first year
after November 13, 2007 and 3% per annum thereafter, of the principal amount
of
the Bonds. Each Bond is convertible at the option of the holder at any time
on
and after a date that is 365 days after February 12, 2008, which is the date
that our shares of common stock commence trading on the Alternext, at an initial
conversion price of $3.50. The conversion price is subject to adjustment in
certain events, including our issuance of additional shares of common stock
or
rights to purchase common stock at a per share or per share exercise or
conversion price, respectively, at less than the applicable per share conversion
price of the Bonds. If for the period of 20 consecutive trading days immediately
prior to November 13, 2009 or September 29, 2012, the conversion price for
the
Bonds is higher than the average closing price for the shares, then the
conversion price will be reset to such average closing price; provided that,
the
conversion price will not be reset lower than 70% of the then existing
conversion price. In connection with the issuance of the Bonds, we also issued
to the Subscriber warrants to purchase 600,000 shares of our common stock.
The
warrants were subscribed at a price of $0.0001 per warrant, are exercisable
at
$0.0001 per share, and terminate on November 13, 2010.
On
January 23, 2007, concurrently with the close of the Share Exchange, we
conducted an initial closing of a private placement transaction pursuant to
which we sold an aggregate of 1,749,028 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock at $1.29 per share. On February 9, 2007, we conducted a second and final
closing of the private placement pursuant to which we sold 501,320 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at $1.29 per share. Accordingly, a total
of
2,250,348 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were sold in the
private placement for an aggregate gross proceeds of $2,902,946 (the “Private
Placement”). After commissions and expenses, we received net proceeds of
approximately $2.3 million in the Private Placement. All of the Series A
Preferred Stock was converted to shares of common stock during the nine months
ended September 30, 2008.
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2008, net cash used in operating activities
was
approximately $2.4 million, as compared to net cash used in operating activities
of $3.7 million for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease in net cash
used
in operating activities was primarily attributable to an increase in net income
of $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to
$3.9
million in the same period in 2007, an increase in non-cash adjustment of income
taxes of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared
to $1.4 million in the same period in 2007, a decrease in inventories of $1.2
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to
approximately $275,000 in the same period in 2007, an increase in accounts
payable of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared
to approximately $306,000 in the same period in 2007, offset by an increase
in
prepaid expenses and other receivables of $5.0 million for the nine months
ended
September 30, 2008 as compared to $4.3 million in the same period in 2007,
and
an increase in accounts receivable of $3.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 as compared to $7.3 million in the same period in 2007.
The
increase in prepaid expenses and other receivables was attributable to an
increase in rebate receivables and the deposit paid in relation to two potential
acquisitions. The deposit of acquisitions is fully refundable if the
transactions do not close. The increase in accounts receivable is attributable
to the increase in sales.
Net
cash
used in investing activities was $7.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, compared to approximately $30,000 in the comparable period
in 2007. Net cash used was primarily due to an increase in expenditures for
acquiring moldings and equipments.
Net
cash
provided by financing activities was $6.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and $3.6 million for the comparable period in 2007. The
net
cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 was primarily attributable to the proceeds of approximately $2.7 million
from our issuance of common stocks in the public offering in February 2008,
and
net proceeds from bank loans of $3.4 million.
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and the same period in 2007, our average
inventory turnover were 33 days and 30 days, respectively. The increase in
inventory turnover period in 2008 was due to a higher level of stock associated
with higher sales. The average days outstanding of our accounts receivable
for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was 47 days, as compared to 50 days
for
the same period in 2007. The decrease in the average days outstanding of our
accounts receivable was due to quicker payments from our customers as a result
of our tightened credit policy.
In
an
attempt to reduce our reliance on third-party watch movement manufacturers,
we
have plans to manufacture our own brands of quartz movements and mechanical
movements in-house. To manufacture our own brands of quartz and mechanical
movements in-house, we would need to acquire watch movement facilities in China
and invest in new equipment and research and development. We expect that up
to
$5.5 million will be required to obtain the equipment and facilities to
manufacture branded proprietary watch movements. During the second quarter
of
2008, we identified two potential acquisition targets. One of the targets is
a
full-range manufacturer of plastic and metal watch parts and the other is a
supplier of analog watches. If we are to acquire the former, we believe it
will
contribute to our strategy of producing low-end quartz movements in-house.
If we
are to acquire the latter, we believe it will result in an increased production
of mechanical watches. There is currently no definitive agreement in place
for
either potential target and there is no assurance that we will be able to
complete such acquisitions.
Adverse
capital and credit market conditions may significantly affect our ability to
meet liquidity needs, access to capital and cost of capital. We may need to
raise further capital for our future growth and operations from future equity
sales or through debt financings. The capital and credit markets have been
experiencing extreme volatility and disruption for more than a year.
Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the capital and credit markets may
limit our access to capital required to operate our business. Failure to obtain
funding when needed may force us to delay, reduce, or eliminate our plans to
manufacture our own watch movement parts. Our results of operations, financial
condition, cash flows and capital position could be materially adversely
affected by disruptions in the financial markets.
Based
on
our current plans, we believe that cash on hand, cash flow from operations
and
funds available under our bank facilities will be sufficient to fund our capital
needs for the next 12 months. However, our ability to maintain sufficient
liquidity depends partially on our ability to achieve anticipated levels of
revenue, while continuing to control costs. If we did not have sufficient
available cash, we would have to seek additional debt or equity financing
through other external sources, which may not be available on acceptable terms,
or at all. Failure to maintain financing arrangements on acceptable terms would
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
Backlog
As
is
typical of watch movement distributors, we have a backlog of customer orders.
At
September 30, 2008 we had a backlog of approximately $3.55 million as compared
to a backlog of approximately $1.97 million at September 30, 2007. Our backlog
is subject to delivery rescheduling and cancellations by the customer, sometimes
without penalty or notice. Our backlog is not necessarily indicative of our
future sales for any particular period.
ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET
RISK
Credit
Risk.
We
are
exposed to credit risk from our cash at banks, fixed deposits and contract
receivables. The credit risk on cash at banks and fixed deposits is limited
because the counterparts are recognized financial institutions. Contract
receivables are subject to credit evaluations. As we are getting more new
customers and offering credit terms, financial efficiency, we believe that
cash
flow and controlling bad debt and late payment become more and more important.
We carry out thorough research through public filing records available on our
new customers, coupled with the employment of business intelligence information
provider, before extending any credit to new customers. Different levels of
credit periods and credit limits are granted to different customers according
to
their size, financial position, business position and payment history, among
other factors, in order to offer the right credit terms to our customers to
enhance competitiveness yet manage the risk. We have not recorded bad debt
since
inception.
Foreign
Currency Risk.
The
functional currency of our company is the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD). In the future,
we expect Renminbi (RMB) also to be a functional currency. Substantially all
of
our operations are conducted in the PRC. Our sales and purchases are conducted
within the PRC in HKD and in the future will include RMB. Conversion of RMB
into
foreign currencies is regulated by the People’s Bank of China through a unified
floating exchange rate system. Although the PRC government has stated its
intention to support the value of the RMB, there can be no assurance that such
exchange rate will not again become volatile or that the RMB will not devalue
significantly against the U.S. Dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely
affect the value, in U.S. Dollar terms, of our net assets and income derived
from its operations in the PRC. In addition, the RMB is not freely convertible
into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place
through authorized institutions.
Country
Risk.
The
substantial portion of our business, assets and operations are located and
conducted in Hong Kong and China. While these economies have experienced
significant growth in the past twenty years, growth has been uneven, both
geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The Chinese government
has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the
allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall economy
of
Hong Kong and China, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example,
our
operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected by
government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations
applicable to us. If there are any changes in any policies by the Chinese
government and our business is negatively affected as a result, then our
financial results, including our ability to generate revenues and profits,
will
also be negatively affected.
ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed
to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that
we
file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange
Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal
executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
As
of the
end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under
the
supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
and
our Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of our disclosure controls and procedures
as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon
this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures were effective.
We
had
identified deficiencies that consisted of inadequate staffing and supervision,
in addition to deficiencies in the recording and classification of accounting
transactions and a lack of personnel with expertise in US generally accepted
accounting principles and US Securities and Exchange Commission rules and
regulations. In April 2008, we hired our CFO, David Lin, who has more than
17
years of financial expertise, including experience with companies listed on
the
U.S. and Hong Kong stock exchanges, to assume the job responsibilities of a
CFO
from our CEO, who had previously assumed this duty. Our CEO and CFO believe
the
improved controls and procedures during this reporting period are effective
which include hiring additional qualified in house accounting personnel and
third-party accounting personnel to ensure that management will have adequate
resources in reporting of financial information disclosures in a timely matter.
We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these improvements. We will
also engage outside consultants to assist us in assessing and improving our
internal controls and procedures when necessary.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Based
on
the evaluation of our management as required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15
or
15d-15 of the Exchange Act, and other than as stated above, there were no
changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the third quarter of 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
The
ownership of our common shares involves a number of risks and uncertainties.
When evaluating the Company and our business before making an investment
decision regarding our securities, potential investors should carefully consider
the risk factors and uncertainties described in Part 1, “Item 1A. Risk Factors”
of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007
as
well as the risk factors listed below, which supplement the risk factors
contained in our Form 10-K. If any of the events or circumstances described
in
our 10-K or listed below actually occur, our business, financial condition
or
results of operations could be materially adversely affected. The risks
contained in our Form 10-K and those listed below are not the only risks that
we
face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think
are
not significant may also impact our business operation.
Adverse
Capital and Credit Market Conditions May Significantly Affect Our Ability to
Meet Liquidity Needs, Access to Capital and Cost of
Capital
The
capital and credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and
disruption for more than a year. Recently, the volatility and disruption have
reached unprecedented levels. In some cases, the markets have exerted downward
pressure on availability of liquidity and credit capacity for certain issuers.
We need liquidity to pay our operating expenses, interest on our debt, and
interest on our outstanding variable rate convertible bonds. Without sufficient
liquidity, we will be forced to curtail our operations, and our business will
suffer. Our internal sources of liquidity may prove to be insufficient, and
in
such case, we may not be able to successfully obtain additional financing on
favorable terms, or at all. Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the
capital and credit markets may also limit our access to capital required to
operate our business. Such market conditions may limit our ability to replace,
in a timely manner, maturing liabilities and access the capital necessary to
grow our business. As such, we may be forced to delay raising capital or bear
an
unattractive cost of capital which could decrease our profitability and
significantly reduce our financial flexibility.
Our
results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and capital position
could be materially adversely affected by disruptions in the financial
markets.
