Asiarim Corporation, a
Nevada corporation, was formed on June 15, 2007. We were originally formed to be a
business consulting firm with a mission to provide business consulting services to small
domestic companies as well as to assist "small to medium" sized companies in the
Asia Pacific Region, particularly in China, to establish a business presence in the United
States. The Company also offered a range of electronic document conversion service for
companies and individuals that need to file periodically with the SEC EDGAR system.
However in the prior fiscal year, the Company stopped its consulting and filing businesses
so that it can focus exclusively in the computer electronics business.
|
In this fiscal year, the
Group focused on the computer electronics business exclusively as it completed the
acquisition of the 100% interests in the brand COMMODORE and, the Europe and Asia
marketing and distribution operation, through a series of transactions summarized below.
|
Commodore - Brand and Worldwide
Distribution
|
As announced in a Form 8K
filed on July 8. 2010, the Company entered into a conditional agreement with Ascenda to
set up a joint venture company to be engaged in the business of design, sourcing,
development, procurement, trade financing and product support for certain computer and
mobile (smart) phone products and other products, from time to time, under the
"Commodore" brand name. Ascenda is an experienced electronic sourcing company in
China and they have extensive distribution channels in the USA markets, providing
experienced (sales) management to the local sales organization of the Company.
|
On January 5, 2009 the
Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Commodore Licensing, then a subsidiary
of Reunite to form a 50/50 joint venture company then named Commodore Electronics to
facilitate the manufacturing and distribution of computer products under the brand name of
COMMODORE for the territories of Asia and Africa. Under the terms of the joint venture
agreement and exclusive trademark license agreement, Commodore Licensing will contribute
the exclusive license brand to Asia and Africa for a period of 5 years plus an automatic
extension of a further 5 years, and the Company will contribute up to a maximum of $7
million. Commodore Licensing shall also have the right to exchange its 50% interests in
the joint venture for 50% interests in the Company, subject to the joint venture company
achieving certain sales conditions. The joint venture company shall be responsible for
providing sourcing and developing of new products for Commodore Licensing and its
affiliates worldwide, and the marketing and distributing of COMMODORE branded products in
Asia and Africa. The Company commenced purchasing and sale of samples of Commodore
products at the ended March 31, 2009 and commenced commercial sales operation for its
consumer electronics in May 2009.
|
During the fiscal year on
January 6, 2010, the Company closed the Participation Agreement to acquire the 49%
interests in C= Holdings which held the COMMODORE brand, 100% interests in Commodore
Licensing which held the European operation of COMMODORE and the 50% interests in
Commodore Electronics which held remaining interests of our Asian operation for a combined
total cash consideration of up to Euro 2,000,000 and the issuance of total 11,020,000
shares of the Company. In June 30, 2010, the Company issued an additional 4,500,000 shares
through an Addendum to the Participation Agreement, thereby effectively issuing a total of
15,520,000 shares as part of the consideration to acquire the above interests. After the
acquisitions, the worldwide operation of marketing and distribution of the Brand Commodore
was under the Company.
|
1
In February 2010, the
Company entered into an agreement to acquire the other 51% of C= Holdings for Euro
300,000. After the acquisition, the Company owned 100% ownership rights for the Commodore
brand and this brand ownership provides future business growth to the Group. At the date
hereof, the Company still has not made any payment in respect of these acquisitions and
will need to raise money to pay off the payment obligations to its stakeholders.
|
The above acquisitions to
i) own the world wide marketing and distribution of the Commodore brand and ii) the 100%
ownership of the brand will enable the Group to fully exploit the potential of the
Commodore brand in the consumer electronics industry and offers a platform for the Group
for future growth. However, the above acquisitions were acquired by extended credit
arrangement and financing from stakeholders of the Company, the Group has pledged the
acquired shares to the third parties as security. The secured positions of these are
summarized in Note 12 to the financial statements as set out in this Form 10K.
|
At the date of this report
the Company has not made any payments to the third party financiers as the Company still
needs to raise money to pay off these payment obligations in the Group to retain the
rights to the use of the operational rights and the 100% interests in the brand ownership.
|
Design and Sourcing
Partner
|
During the fiscal year
under review, the Group refocused its efforts to work with a new manufacturing and
sourcing partner, Ascenda. As announced in a Form 8K filed on July 8. 2010, on July 1,
2010, the Company entered into a conditional agreement with Ascenda to set up a joint
venture company, which was Commodore Asia JV, to be engaged in the business of design,
sourcing, development, procurement, trade financing and product support for certain
computer and mobile (smart) phone products and other products, from time to time, under
the "Commodore" brand name. Pursuant to the agreement, Ascenda received
2,685,000 shares in the Company for the services it provides to the joint venture company.
Ascenda shall receive additional 2,685,000 shares in the Company provided certain sales
targets are achieved in the next 2 years. Ascenda shall further have the right to sell its
49% in the Commodore Asia JV to the Company for 2,685,000 shares in the Company within 3
years commencing from the date of the closing of the agreement provided that the business
plans and milestones have been achieved. The Company provided an initial working capital
to the Commodore Asia JV of US$150.000 to start the operations, that resulted in the
development of a full range of products presented at the CES in January 2011.
|
COMMODORE was a pioneer in
the computer industry. The Commodore C64 was one of the most popular computer models of
its time. From 1982 to 1994, 17 million units of the Commodore C64 were sold.
|
The trade name COMMODORE
can be dated back to 1954 and is one of the oldest and most well respected names in the
consumer electronics and computer industry.
|
The essence of the
Commodore brand is personalization. Back in the 1970s and 1980s Commodore was the first to
offer ordinary people computers that they could adapt to their own individual needs and
preferences. They could modify graphic interface, create their own music, write their own
programs, and play the video games they wanted whenever they chose. Hardware, software,
and content could be modified and managed by the user as they wished. Commodore's
revolutionary technology inspired users to share their knowledge and content with others.
This Commodore heritage continues today.
|
Business Segment and Development
|
Our business will be
divided into 3 segments: Hardware Products (mobile), Gaming (mobile) applications &
Media Content, and Brand Licensing.
|
2
PRODUCTS - Consumer Electronics
|
For the year ended
September 2010, our sales in the Products business segment was limited to $9,881 which was
mainly sample sales. We are disappointed by the limited sales results as the Group faced
many challenges due to limited financial and human resources. We received huge interests
from larger retailers in USA and UK but we could not close these orders due to various
reasons. However it showed that we still hold interests to these retailers as they also
believed that there are strong consumer interests in Commodore products in these markets.
This was evident again at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas where our
products got overwhelming interests from retailers and distributors. Based on the
indications from the channels the sales office in the USA forecast the first shipments of
our bundled products and (gaming) applications to its customers in March/April 2011.
|
Our efforts now are to
maximize these interests into sales opportunities. Going forward, the Group will try to
arrange for financing to be in place before establishing sales networks in USA, Europe and
China to launch our products. At the date of this report, the Company is still working on
fund raising and accordingly, the sales network is expected to be launched after we have
arranged the financial support and resources.
|
The following is a more detail description of
our consumer electronics business.
|
The Group's consumer
electronics business consists of designing, sourcing, marketing, sales and distribution of
a variety of multimedia and computer products under the COMMODORE brand name. These
products which can be found on our website at www.commodorecorp.com and
www.commodoreworld.com include:
|
|
*
|
Tablets ;
|
|
*
|
Netbooks;
|
|
*
|
Notebook;
|
|
*
|
Desktops; and
|
|
*
|
Smartphones.
|
We believe we
possess an advantage over our competitors due to the combination of:
|
|
*
|
recognition of
the COMMODORE brand; and
|
|
*
|
our sourcing
expertise and vendor relations through our partner Ascenda.
|
Our core business consists
of selling, distributing, and licensing various moderately priced multi-media consumer
electronic products in various categories. A substantial portion of our marketing and
sales efforts are concentrated in North America and Europe initially and then to the Asia
Pacific and Africa. We have offices in Los Angeles, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Taipei and
Shanghai.
|
We will market and distribute our
products primarily through:
|
|
*
|
mass
merchandisers;
|
|
*
|
discount
retailers;
|
|
*
|
electronics
retailers; and
|
|
*
|
distributors
and specialty catalogers.
|
3
We work with design teams
based in Taiwan and China for designing innovative products in Hong Kong. These relationships are based
on a project basis in a fast moving industry. We will work closely with the design
engineers and manufactures for efficient time to market. We work with the engineers to
determine the detailed cosmetic, electronic and other features for new products in our
design. Accordingly, the exterior designs and operating features of the products reflect
our judgment of current styles and consumer preferences. Our designs are tailored to meet
the consumer preferences worldwide.
|
We offer limited
warranties for our consumer electronics products. Such warranties typically consist of a
one year manufacturing defects for computers and netbooks under the condition that we or
the manufacturer will provide spare parts to fix, or offer a new or similar unit in
exchange for a non-performing unit, depending on the circumstances.
|
During the year, the Group
formulated a gaming strategy to capitalize on the heritage of Commodore games. Commodore
has over 5,000 games in its library accumulated over the years. Commodore was the first
pioneer in computer gaming creating a great fan base of gamers still playing our games in
various countries worldwide.
|
Today gaming is a vital
driver for users on the internet for gaming and social networking, and to mobile
entertainment in the coming future. It is our intention to roll out our own Gaming Portal
or in conjunction with our partners in the coming year.
|
Our strategy is to
integrate our existing game database with new technology such as movement sensor software
application for enhanced customer experience, as well launch new gaming titles under
Commodore label in collaboration with strategic partners in Asia, Europe and USA.
|
We have entered into a
cooperation agreement with Aibelive Co. Ltd in Taiwan for advanced sensor movement
software applications for all types of third party games as well development of the
historical Commodore games using this technology. This enables customers to play our games
using their (smart)phones as a remote controller or joystick for enhanced user experience
using movement game features. This cooperation resulted into an overwhelming interest of
customers during the CES show in Las Vegas in January, show casing this technology on our
smart phones under the Commodore label as well third party feature phones. The bundled
product offering was showed with our operational online gaming platform and separate game
controllers branded under Commodore.
|
We plan to implement the
following in the coming year:
|
-
|
a full functional Gaming download
portal for current - and new labeled games for desktop and mobile devices such as smart
and feature phones;
|
-
|
a range of mobile games titles
for Android based smart- and feature phones;
|
-
|
integrated software embedded in
our products for access to our web portal www.commodoreworld.com for various applications
& services; and
|
-
|
mobile and desktop products
according the latest technology specifications using strategic manufacturing partners.
|

Media Contents -
commmodoreworld.com
|
As stated before, in line
with the COMMODORE strategy for our branded products, we will have all our products and
devices link to our content portal at www.commodoreworld.com, which was launched in a beta
version at the CES show in January 2011. Certain of our products will be equipped with a
soft-key for a one touch linkup. Our customers will be offered services to keep and manage
all their digital files, including but not limited to, online entertainment, news and
personal entertainment & gaming platform. We expect to commence activities in the
gaming, entertainment application and other media content in second half of 2011 by
setting up the servers in Asia and USA. We shall also arrange for cooperation with content
& gaming providers to offer contents on our COMMODORE portal for our device owners.
|
Brand licensing is an
important business segment to realize the maximum brand value. During the fiscal year, in
August 2010, the Company entered into a brand licensing arrangement with a third party to
license the Keyboard Computer under the traditional form factor of the Commodore 64. Under
the license agreement, the third party is expected to pay an initial royalty of USD250,000
on or before December 31, 2011. At the date of this report, the third party has not
formally submitted the computer for our approval and has not paid the initial royalty.
Accordingly we have not recorded this initial royalty in our accounts for the 2010 fiscal
year until we receive the royalty payment.
|
The Group will continue to
explore brand licensing opportunities in the coming year since it received several
requests for licensing arrangements. We consider to start an active Brand licensing
policy, possibly through working with brand management partner(s), during the course of
2011 for certain products segments and leverage on the Brand awareness in the different
territories.
|
We believe that the
COMMODORE trademark is recognized in many countries. A principal component of our growth
strategy is to utilize this global recognition of our brand name and our reputation for
quality and cost competitive products to aggressively promote our products in these
geographic territories. We believe that we will be able to compete more effectively by
combining innovative approaches to our current product line and augmenting our product
line with complementary products. We intend to pursue such plans either independently or
through partnership with other companies as well as license arrangements, distributorship
agreements and joint ventures.
|
We generally experience
stronger demand from our customers for our products in the fiscal quarters ending
September and December. However, this revenue pattern may be less prevalent due to our
focus to obtain additional orders to increase product demand during the March and June
fiscal quarters.
|
5
Our operations will be
impacted by the seasonality because we expect to record the majority of annual sales in
the quarters ending September and December. This seasonality causes us to maintain higher
inventory levels during the quarters ending June and September, which in turn increases
the working capital needed during these periods. We also anticipate that cash flow from
operations and the financing presently in place will not provide sufficient liquidity to
meet our operating and cash requirements in the year ahead.
|
Many of our products are
subject to various Federal regulations, some of which empower the Consumer Product Safety
Commission (the "CPSC") to regulate potentially hazardous products. The CPSC has
the authority to exclude from the market certain articles that are found to be hazardous
and can require a manufacturer to refund the purchase price of products that present a
substantial product hazard. CPSC determinations are subject to court review. Similar laws
exist in some states and cities in the United States. During the year ended September 30,
2010, none of our products were sanctioned by the CPSC as hazardous.
|
Product Liability and
Insurance
|
We are periodically
subject to product liability claims resulting from personal injuries. We may become
involved in various lawsuits incidental to our business.

Currently, we do not have
any product liability insurance, but we intend to arrange product liability insurance in
the first half of 2011. In recent years, product liability insurance has become much more
expensive, restrictive and difficult to obtain. Accordingly, there can be no assurance
that our general product liability insurance, when arranged, will be sufficient to cover
any successful product liability claims made against us in the future. However, any claims
substantially in excess of our intended insurance coverage, or any substantial claim not
covered by insurance, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.
|
The Company works in
conjunction with product development companies in China. The Company does not undertake
any research and development at the moment.
|
As of December 15, 2010,
we had 5 employees employed by the Group, excluding staff of our stakeholders and partners
contributing to the Group on a as required basis. The Company will furthermore extend this
staff and consultants as required by operations.

The reader should
carefully consider these risk factors in addition to those set forth in the Company's
financial statements or the notes thereto. Additional risks about which the Company is not
yet aware or that the Company currently believes to be immaterial also may adversely
affect the Company's business operations. If any of the following occur, the Company's
business condition or operating results may be adversely affected. In that case, the price
of the Company's common stock may decline.
|
Risk Factors Relating to
Our Company
|
We may not be able to raise sufficient
capital or generate adequate revenue to meet our obligations and fund our operating
expenses.
|
Failure to raise adequate
capital and generate adequate sales revenues to meet our obligations and develop and
sustain our operations could result in having to curtail or cease operations.
Additionally, even if we do raise sufficient capital and generate revenues to support our
operating expenses, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to
enable us to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows
from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern. Our independent auditors currently included an explanatory paragraph in
their report on our financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue
as a going concern. Accordingly, our failure to generate sufficient revenues or to
generate adequate capital could result in the failure of our business and the loss of your
entire investment.
|
We may never be able to effectuate our
business plan or achieve any revenues or profitability; at this stage of our business,
even with our good faith efforts, potential investors have a high probability of losing
their entire investment.
|
We were established on
June 15, 2007 and have a limited operating history. We are in the initial stage and are
subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. We
have had modest revenue since inception. The Company is a highly speculative venture
involving significant financial risk. It is uncertain as to when the Company will sustain
profitability, if ever.
|
There is nothing at this
time on which to base an assumption that our business operations will prove to be
successful or that we will ever be able to operate profitably. We may not be able to
successfully effectuate our business. The revenue and income potential of our proposed
business and operations is unproven as the lack of operating history makes it difficult to
evaluate the future prospects of our business.
|
If our business strategy is not
successful, we may not be able to continue operations as a going concern and our
stockholders may lose their entire investment in us.
|
As discussed in the Notes
to Financial Statements for the year ended September 30, 2010, we had a net loss of
approximately $1,093,259 and for the period from June 15, 2007 (inception) to September
30, 2010 an accumulated loss of $1,148,302. These factors raise substantial doubt that we
will be able to continue operations as a going concern, and our independent auditors
included an explanatory paragraph regarding this uncertainty in their report on our
financial statements for the period June 15, 2007 (inception) to September 30, 2010. Our
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating cash flow
sufficient to fund operations. Our business strategy may not be successful in addressing
these issues. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose their
entire investment in us.
|
We are heavily dependent on contracted
third parties and on our directors and officers. The loss of our directors and officers,
or the inability to contract qualified third parties, whose knowledge, leadership and
technical expertise upon which we rely, would harm our ability to execute our business
plan.
|
We are dependent on the
continued contributions of our directors and officers, whose knowledge and leadership
would be difficult to replace. Our success is also heavily dependent on our ability to
retain and attract experienced consultants. We do not maintain any key person insurance on
the directors and officers. If we were to lose their services, our ability to execute our
business plan would be harmed, and we may be forced to cease operations until such time as
we could hire suitable replacements.
|
7
Because we do not have an audit or
compensation committee, shareholders will have to rely on our directors, who are not
independent, to perform these functions.
|
We do not have an audit or
compensation committee comprised of independent directors. Indeed, we do not have any
audit or compensation committee. These functions are performed by our directors. Thus,
there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and/or officers have the
authority to determine issues concerning management compensation and audit issues that may
affect management decisions.
|
Risks Relating To Our
Common Shares
|
We intend to retain any
future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not
anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless
we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares
unless the value of such shares appreciates and they sell them. There is no assurance that
stockholders will be able to sell shares when desired.
|
We may, in the future,
issue additional common shares, which would reduce investors' percent of ownership and may
dilute our share value.
|
Our Articles of
Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, of which
29,535,000 shares are issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2010. The future issuance
of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock
held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future
on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or
other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by
our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common
stock.
|
Our common shares are subject to the
"Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is
limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an
investment in our stock.
|
The Securities and
Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a
"penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has
a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00
per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock,
unless exempt, the rules require:
|
*
|
that a broker
or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
|
*
|
the broker or
dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth
the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
|
In order to approve a person's account for
transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
|
*
|
obtain
financial information and investment experience objective of the person;
|
*
|
make a
reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that
person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be
capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stock;
|
*
|
the broker or
dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule
prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form;
|
*
|
sets forth the
basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
|
*
|
that the
broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the
transaction.
|
Generally, brokers may be
less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock"
rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and
cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
|
Disclosure also has to be
made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in
secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the
registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and
remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally,
monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock
held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
|
8
We may not be able to compete with current
and potential consumer electronic companies, some of whom have greater resources and
experience than we do.
|
The consumer electronics
business is intensely competitive, highly fragmented and subject to rapid change. We do
not have the resources to compete with our existing competitors or with any new
competitors. We compete with many consumer electronics companies which have significantly
greater personnel, financial, managerial, and technical resources than we do. This
competition from other companies with greater resources and reputations may result in our
failure to maintain or expand our business as we may never be able to develop our own
customers which are primary retailers. If we are not be able to differentiate ourselves
with other bundled products and applications to build our position in the market place.
|
We have pledged to sell
51% of the C= Holdings which holds the Commodore brand name unless we can repay the debts
under the pledge.
|
We have
pledged to sell 51% of C= Holdings which holds the Commodore brand name against certain
financing owed by the Group to third parties. The Group has also pledged the remaining 49%
of C= Holdings against certain amounts owed to a vendor of the 49% interests. If the Group
cannot repay the loan then the third party may exercise the pledge and the Group may lose
the controlling ownership and or the entire interests of the brand which may adversely
affect our future revenues, earnings and growth.
|
We have pledged to sell
100% of Commodore Licensing which holds the license to operate the Commodore brand name
unless we can repay the debts under the pledge.
|
We have pledged 100%
interests of Commodore Licensing which holds the license to operate the Commodore brand
name against certain financing owed by the Group to third parties. If the Group cannot
repay the loan then the third party may exercise the pledge and the Group may lose the
entire interests to operate the Commodore brand which may adversely affect our future
revenues, earnings and growth.
|
Recent events in
capital markets and the global economic downturn may adversely affect the Company's access
to financing or may increase the costs of financing the Company's operations.
|
The global economic
environment continues to be distressed by difficulties in the financial markets, which
have led to curtailment of credit and increases in the frequency of bankruptcies.
Financial institutions failures may impede the Company's ability to obtain financing for
its operations. The economic downturn may preclude the Company from realizing its business
plan. The Company's customers are primarily retailers. Some customers may have difficulty
paying, be slower to pay, or file for bankruptcy as a result of negative economic
conditions.
|
9
If we are unable to
resist price increases from our suppliers or pass through such increases to our customers,
our profit margins will shrink or be eliminated entirely.
|
In the future, all our products are
expected and will be purchased from suppliers with factories located in the People's
Republic of China ("China"). The weakness of the United States dollar in
relationship to the Chinese currency recently has increased substantially the cost of the products
we will purchase from such suppliers. These suppliers also have experienced sharply rising
costs attributable to, among other things, substantially increased raw material costs,
general economic conditions and changes in certain labor, public health and tax
regulations in China. As a consequence, many of the suppliers have indicated substantial
price increases going forward for the products we will and intend to purchase from them in the future. We are
monitoring and will try to resist such increases and, at the same time, discuss higher
product sale prices to our customers. We expect our customers will strongly resisted
accepting new increased pricing given the recent decline in economic conditions globally
and the fear that higher prices will adversely affect the future sales orders from
customers. The pricing situation with our suppliers and customers is unclear and there can
be no assurance that we will be able to work out an acceptable solution. In addition, if
we are unable to negotiate lower costs with our suppliers in the future, higher prices from our
customers or some combination of the two, our planned sales will likely decline, our
profit margins will shrink and our operating results may be materially and adversely
affected in the future.
|
The loss or significant
reduction in business of any of our key customers could materially and adversely affect
our revenues and earnings.
|
We are highly dependent
upon sales of our products to our affiliates in United States and in Europe, and our own
sales channels in Asia and Africa. All customer purchases are made through purchase orders
and we do not have any long-term contracts with customers. The complete loss of or
significant reduction in business from, or a material adverse change in the financial
condition of our customers will cause a material and adverse change in our revenues and
operating results.
|
We depend on a limited
number of suppliers for our products. The inability to secure our products could reduce
our revenues and adversely affect our relationship with our customers.
|
We rely on a limited
number of suppliers for our goods, and most of which are located in southern China. This
reliance involves a number of significant potential risks, including:
|
*
|
lack of
availability of materials and interruptions in delivery of components and raw materials to
our suppliers/manufacturers;
|
*
|
manufacturing
delays caused by such lack of availability of components or interruptions in delivery;
|
*
|
fluctuations
in the quality and the price of components and raw materials, in particular due to the
petroleum price impact on such materials; and
|
*
|
risks related
to operations in China.
|
We do not have any
long-term or exclusive purchase commitments with any of our suppliers. We rely on a few
suppliers of our products. Our failure to maintain existing relationships with our
suppliers or to establish new relationships in the future could negatively affect our
ability to obtain our products in a timely manner. If we are unable to obtain ample supply
of product from our existing suppliers or alternative sources of supply, we may be unable
to satisfy our customers' orders, which could materially and adversely affect our revenues
and our relationship with our customers.
|
10
If our contract
manufacturers are unable to deliver our products in the required amounts and in a timely
fashion, we could experience delays or reductions in shipments to our customers which
could materially and adversely affect our revenues and our relationship with our
customers. Unanticipated disruptions in our operations, slowdowns or shutdowns by our
suppliers, manufacturers and shipping companies could adversely affect our ability to
deliver our products and service our customers which could materially and adversely affect
our revenues and our relationship with our customers.
|
All of our products are
manufactured in accordance with our specifications by factories principally located in
southern China. If we are unable to obtain our products from these factories in the
required quantities and quality and in a timely fashion, we could experience delays or
reductions in product shipments to our customers which could negatively affect our ability
to meet the requirements of our customers, as well as our relationships with our
customers, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our revenues and operating
results.
|
Our ability to provide
high quality customer service, process and fulfill orders and manage inventory depends on
the efficient and uninterrupted distribution operation and the timely and uninterrupted
performance of third party manufacturers and suppliers, shipping companies and dock
workers. Any material disruption, slowdown or shutdown of the operation of the
distribution centers, manufacturing facilities or management information systems, or
comparable disruptions, slowdowns or shutdowns suffered by our principal manufacturers,
suppliers and shippers could cause delays in our ability to receive, process and fulfill
customer orders and may cause orders to be canceled, lost or delivered late, goods to be
returned or receipt of goods to be refused. As a result, our revenues and operating
results could be materially and adversely affected.
|
All of our suppliers are
located in southern China. Inadequate development and maintenance of infrastructure in
China, including inadequate power and water supplies, transportation and raw materials
availability, and the deterioration in the general political, economic and social
environments in China may make it difficult, more expensive and possibly prohibitive for
these suppliers to continue to operate in China. We cannot assure you that our existing or
future supplier will not close. We cannot assure you that we will be able to find suitable
replacements for such suppliers, if they close. In addition, we will implement procedures
to certify all of our existing and future suppliers and manufacturers of our products,
however there can be no assurance that our recertification procedures are adequate or that
any of our recertified suppliers and manufacturers will not close their facilities. If we
cannot find suitable replacements for any manufacturers that have or may in the future
close their facilities, our revenues and operating results could be materially and
adversely affected.
|
11
The failure to maintain
our relationships with our licensees and distributors or the failure to obtain new
licensees or distribution relationships could materially and adversely affect our revenues
and earnings.
|
We own the COMMODORE
trademark for the manufacture and sale of specific consumer electronics and other
products. In addition, we expect to enter into agreements for the distribution of products
bearing the COMMODORE brand, into defined geographic areas and or product categories. We
intend to enter into distribution agreements for certain of our products in select
territories or countries, most have terms of two years or less. We cannot assure that such
agreements will be renewed or that our relationships with our licensees or distributors
will be maintained on satisfactory terms or at all. The failure to maintain our
relationships with our licensees and distributors on terms satisfactory to us, the failure
to obtain new licensees or distribution relationships or the failure by our licensees to
protect the integrity and reputation of the COMMODORE trademark could materially and
adversely affect our licensing revenues and our earnings.
|
Our business could be
materially and adversely affected if the Licensor cannot protect its intellectual property
rights or if we infringe on the intellectual property rights of others.
|
Our ability to compete
effectively depends on our ability to maintain and protect the proprietary rights. We own
the COMMODORE trademark, which is materially important to our business. This trademark is
registered throughout the world by the subsidiary company, Commodore Holdings B.V.
(formerly known as Commodore International B.V.). The protections afforded by the laws of
the countries in the territories we registered the trademark may not be adequate to
protect the intellectual property rights.
|
Third parties may seek to
challenge, invalidate, circumvent or render unenforceable any trademarks, patents or
proprietary rights registered to us. In addition, in the event third party licensees fail
to protect the integrity of the trademarks, the value of these marks could be materially
and adversely affected. Our inability to protect our proprietary rights could materially
and adversely affect the license of our trade names, trademarks and patents to third
parties as well as our ability to sell our products. Litigation may be necessary to
enforce the intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets; and determine the
scope and validity of such intellectual property rights. Any such litigation, whether or
not successful, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and
management's attention from the operation of our business.
|
We may receive notices of
claims of infringement of other parties' proprietary rights. Such actions could result in
litigation and we could incur significant costs and diversion of resources in defending
such claims. The party making such claims could secure a judgment awarding substantial
damages, as well as injunctive or other equitable relief. Such relief could effectively
block our ability to make, use, sell, distribute or market the products and services in
such jurisdiction. We may also be required to seek licenses to such intellectual property.
We cannot predict, however, whether such licenses would be available or, if available,
that such licenses could be obtained on terms that are commercially reasonable and
acceptable to us. The failure to obtain the necessary licenses or other rights could delay
or preclude the sale, manufacture or distribution of our products and could result in
increased costs to us.
|
12
Our revenues and
earnings could be materially and adversely affected if we cannot anticipate market trends
or enhance existing products or achieve market acceptance of new products.
|
Our success is dependent
on our ability to anticipate and respond to changing consumer demands and trends in a
timely manner, as well as expanding into new markets and developing new products. In
addition, to increase our penetration of current markets and gain footholds in new markets
for our products, we must maintain our existing products and integrate them with new
products. We may not be successful in developing, marketing and releasing new products
that respond to technological developments or changing customer needs and preferences. We
may also experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development,
introduction and sale of these new products. These new products may not adequately meet
the requirements of the marketplace and may not achieve any significant degree of market
acceptance. If release dates of any future products or enhancements to our products are
delayed, or if these products or enhancements fail to achieve market acceptance when
released, our sales volume may decline and earnings could be materially and adversely
affected. In addition, new products or enhancements by our competitors may cause customers
to defer or forgo purchases of our products, which could also materially and adversely
affect our revenues and earnings.
|
Foreign regulations and
changes in the political, public health and economic conditions in the foreign countries
in which we operate our business could materially and adversely affect our revenues and
earnings.
|
We derive a significant
portion of our revenue from sales of products manufactured by third parties located
primarily in southern China. In addition, third parties located in China and other
countries located in the same region produce and supply many of the components and raw
materials used in our products. Conducting an international business inherently involves a
number of difficulties and risks that could materially and adversely affect our ability to
generate revenues and could subject us to increased costs. Among the factors that may
adversely affect our revenues and increase our costs are:
|
*
|
Chinese labor
laws;
|
*
|
more stringent
export restrictions in the countries in which we operate which could adversely affect our
ability to deliver our products to our customers;
|
*
|
political
instability and economic downturns in these countries which could adversely affect our
ability to obtain our products from our manufacturers or deliver our products to our
customers in a timely fashion;
|
*
|
labor
shortages in manufacturing facilities located in China, including the short-term labor
shortage in manufacturing facilities caused by migrant workers seeking employment
opportunities elsewhere;
|
*
|
the rise of
inflation and substantial economic growth in China;
|
*
|
currency
fluctuations which could cause an increase in the price of the components and raw
materials used in our products and a decrease in our profits;
|
*
|
tariffs and
other trade barriers which could make it more expensive for us to obtain and deliver our
products to our customers;
|
*
|
the
elimination or reduction of value-added tax refunds to Chinese factories that manufacture
products for export;
|
*
|
seasonal
reductions in business activity in these countries during the summer months which could
adversely affect our sales; and
|
*
|
new
restrictions on the sale of electronic products containing certain hazardous substances
.
|
Any of factors described
above may materially and adversely affect our revenues and/or increase our operating
expenses.
|
13
We are subject to
intense competition in the industry in which we operate, which could cause material
reductions in the selling price of our products or losses of our market share
|
The consumer electronics
industry is highly competitive, especially with respect to pricing and the introduction of
new products and features. Our products compete in the medium-priced sector of the
consumer electronics market and compete primarily on the basis of reliability, brand
recognition, quality, price, design, consumer acceptance of the COMMODORE trademark and
quality service and support to retailers and our customers. In recent years, many of our
competitors, have regularly lowered prices, and we expect these pricing pressures to
continue. If these pricing pressures are not mitigated by increases in volume, cost
reductions from our suppliers or changes in product mix, our revenues and profits could be
substantially adversely affected. In comparing to our Group, many of our competitors have
significantly greater managerial, financial, marketing, technical and other competitive
resources and greater brand recognition. As a result, our competitors may be able to (i)
adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements;
(ii) devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products and services;
and (iii) respond more effectively to pricing pressures.
|
In addition, competition
could increase if new companies enter the market, existing competitors expand their
product mix or we expand into new markets. An increase in competition could result in
material price reductions or loss of our market share.
|
14
The seasonality of our
business, changes in consumer spending and economic conditions may cause our quarterly
operating results to fluctuate and cause our stock price to decline.
|
Our net revenue and
operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, which may adversely
affect our results of operations and the market price for our common stock. Factors that
may cause these fluctuations include:
|
*
|
seasonal
variations in operating results;
|
*
|
Variations in
manufacturing and supplier relationships;
|
*
|
the
discretionary nature of consumers' demands and spending patterns;
|
*
|
Variations in
the sales of our products to our significant customers;
|
*
|
new product
developments or introductions;
|
*
|
if we are
unable to correctly anticipate and provide for inventory requirements from quarter to
quarter, we may not have sufficient time to deliver our products to our customers in a
timely fashion or we may have excess inventory that we are unable to sell;
|
*
|
Changes in
market and economic conditions;
|
*
|
product
reviews and other media coverage;
|
*
|
competition,
including competitive price pressures; and
|
*
|
political
instability, war, acts of terrorism or other disasters
.
|
If our sales during the
holiday season fall below our expectations, our operating results also could fall below
expectations.
|
Sales of our products are
expected to be seasonal due to consumer spending patterns, which tend to result in
significantly stronger sales in our September and December fiscal quarters, especially as
a result of the holiday season. This pattern probably will not change significantly in the
future. If the economy faltered in these periods, if our customers altered the timing or
frequency of their promotional activities or if the effectiveness of these promotional
activities declined, particularly around the holiday season, annual operating results
could be materially adversely affected. Due to the seasonality of our business, our
results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of our results for the year.
|
If our third party
sales representatives fail to adequately promote, market and sell our products, our
revenues could significantly decrease.
|
A significant portion of
our product sales are made and expect it to be made through our distributors. Our level of
sales depends on the effectiveness of these organizations, as well as the effectiveness of
our own employees. Some of these third party representatives may sell (and do sell), with
our permission, competitive products of third parties as well as our products. If any of
our third party sales representative organizations engaged by us fails to adequately
promote, market and sell our products, our revenues could be significantly decreased until
a replacement organization or distributor could be retained by us. Finding replacement
organizations and distributors could be a time consuming process during which our revenues
could be negatively impacted.
|
15
We could be exposed to
product liability or other claims for which our product liability or other insurance may
be inadequate.
|
A failure of any of the
products marketed by us may subject us to the risk of product liability claims and
litigation arising from injuries allegedly caused by the improper functioning or design of
our products. Although we currently do not maintain a product liability insurance, we
cannot assure that:
|
*
|
a product
liability insurance will provide adequate coverage against potential liabilities;
|
*
|
adequate
product liability insurance will continue to be available in the future; or
|
*
|
such insurance
can be maintained on acceptable terms.
|
Currently, we do not have
any product liability insurance, and even if we arrange for the general product liability
insurance, there can be no assurance that the general product liability insurance, once
arranged, will be sufficient to cover any successful product liability claims made against
us in the future. We cannot be assured that such policies, once arranged, will provide
adequate coverage against potential liabilities. To the extent product liability or other
litigation losses are beyond the limits or scope of our insurance coverage, our expenses
could materially increase.
|
We may seek to make
acquisitions that prove unsuccessful or strain or divert our management's attention and
our capital resources.
|
We may seek to grow our
business through the acquisition of related businesses. Such acquisitions present risks
that could materially adversely affect our earnings, including:
|
*
|
the diversion
of our management's attention from our everyday business activities;
|
*
|
the
assimilation of the operations and personnel of the acquired business;
|
*
|
the incurring
of additional expenses related to such acquisitions, whether or not such acquisitions are
consummated;
|
*
|
the contingent
and latent risks associated with the past operations of, and other unanticipated problems
arising in, the acquired business; and
|
*
|
the need to
expand management, administration and operational systems.
|
If we make such
acquisitions, we cannot predict whether:
|
*
|
we will be
able to successfully integrate the operations of any new businesses into our business;
|
*
|
we will
realize any anticipated benefits of completed acquisitions; or
|
*
|
if there will
be substantial unanticipated costs associated with acquisitions.
|
In addition, future
acquisitions by us may result in:
|
*
|
potentially
dilutive issuances of our equity securities;
|
*
|
the incurrence
of additional debt; and
|
*
|
the
recognition of significant charges for impairment and amortization expense related to
goodwill and other intangible assets.
|
We continuously evaluate
potential acquisitions of related businesses. However, competition for such potential
acquisitions is intense and we have not reached any agreement or arrangement with respect
to any particular acquisition and we may not be able to complete any acquisitions on
favorable terms or at all.
|
16
Any substantial
indebtedness we incur from time to time may adversely affect our ability to obtain
additional funds and may increase our vulnerability to economic or business downturns.
|
From time to time we may
incur substantial debt in connection with our operations. As a result, we may be subject
to the risks associated with indebtedness, including:
|
*
|
because we
would need to dedicate a portion of our cash flows from operations to pay debt service
costs, we would have less funds available for operations and other purposes;
|
*
|
it may be more
difficult and expensive to obtain additional funds through financings, if such funds are
available at all;
|
*
|
we would be
more vulnerable to economic downturns and fluctuations in interest rates, less able to
withstand competitive pressures and less flexible in reacting to changes in our industry
and general economic conditions; and
|
*
|
if we were to
default under any of our existing credit facilities or if our creditors were to demand
payment of a portion or all of our indebtedness, we may not have sufficient funds to make
such payments.
|
The market price of our
common stock may experience significant price and volume fluctuations from time to time.
|
The market price for our
common stock and for securities of similar companies may from time to time experienced
significant price and volume fluctuations. Factors which may affect our market price
include:
|
*
|
Market
conditions in the industries in which we operate;
|
*
|
competition;
|
*
|
sales or the
possibility of sales of our common stock;

Risks related to doing
business in China
|
PRC laws and
regulations governing our businesses and the validity of certain of our contractual
arrangements are uncertain. If we are found to be in violation, we could be subject to
sanctions. In addition, changes in such PRC laws and regulations may materially and
adversely affect our business.
|
There are substantial
uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations,
including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business, or the
enforcement and performance of our contractual arrangements with certain of our affiliated
Chinese entities. We are considered foreign persons or foreign invested enterprises under
PRC law. As a result, we are subject to PRC law limitations on foreign ownership of
consulting companies. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to
change, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial
uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be
delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations
that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.
|
The PRC government has
broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying
fines, revoking business and other licenses and requiring actions necessary for
compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant
governmental bodies may be revoked at a later time by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot
predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our
businesses. We cannot assure you that our current and future operating structure would not
be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we
may be subject to sanctions, including fines, and could be required to restructure our
operations or cease to provide certain services. Any of these or similar actions could
significantly disrupt our business operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial
portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
|
Governmental control of
currency conversion may affect the restriction of movement of capital.
|
The PRC government imposes
controls on the conversion of RMB to foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the
remittance of currencies out of China. As our business expands, we expect to derive an
increasing percentage of our sales in RMB. In the future when we set up our sales channels
in China either through a subsidiary company or through local distributors or partners, we
expect our income will be primarily derived from dividend payments from our PRC
subsidiaries or sales proceeds from the distributors or partners in China. Shortages in
the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries and
our affiliated entities to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other
payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under
existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including
profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions,
can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration
of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval
from appropriate government authorities is required when RMB is to be converted into
foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment
of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its
discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account
transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient
foreign currency to satisfy our demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign
currencies to our stockholders, including holders of our common stock.
|
18
Fluctuation in the value of RMB may have a
material adverse effect on your investment.
|
The value of RMB against
the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things,
changes in political and economic conditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed
its decades-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new
policy, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a
basket of foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximately 20%
appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. While the international reaction to the
RMB revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international
pressure on the PRC government to adopt a more flexible currency policy, which could
result in a further and significant appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. As
our electronics business continues to grow, a greater portion of our revenues and costs
will be denominated in RMB, while a significant portion of our financial assets may be
denominated in U.S. dollars. We expect to rely significantly on sales, dividends and other
fees paid to us by our subsidiaries, affiliated entities, and resellers in China. Any
significant revaluation of RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows,
revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, and any dividends payable on,
our common stock in U.S. dollars. For example, an appreciation of RMB against the U.S.
dollar would make any new RMB denominated investments or expenditures more costly to us,
to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for such purposes.
|
We face risks related to health epidemics
and other outbreaks.
|
Our business could be
adversely affected by the effects of SARS, Avian Flu, Swine Flu or another epidemic or
outbreak. China reported a number of cases of SARS in April 2004 and Hong Kong reported a
number of cases of Swine Flu in 2009. Any prolonged recurrence of SARS or Swine Flu or
other adverse public health developments in China or Hong Kong may have a material adverse
effect on our business operations. For instance, health or other governmental regulations
adopted in response may require temporary closure of our business operations, or of our
offices. Such closures would severely disrupt our business operations and adversely affect
our results of operations. We have not adopted any written preventive measures or
contingency plans to combat any future outbreak of SARS or Swine Flu or any other
epidemic.

Our loss for the year was mainly attributable
to the following:

maintaining an administrative office in Europe. The Europe office costs was assumed upon
the acquisition of the Commodore European operation. This increased the salary expenses
substantially when compared to the prior year.
|
2)
|
The office
costs increased due to the administration office in the Netherlands. This lease will
expire in February 2011.
|
3)
|
Compensation
fee for termination of a distribution contract related to the Europe operation.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
|
As of September 30, 2010,
we had approximately $142,617 in cash and $37,525 in accounts receivables for total
current assets of $180,142. In addition, the Company had accrued liabilities of $275,288,
other payable of $1,071,474, accounts payable of $359,216, amount due to related parties
of $1,403,547, amount due to former subsidiary of $3,715 and amount due to directors of
$611,289 for total current liabilities of $3,724,529. We also had a minority interests
asset of $5,285 for a total net non-current liabilities of $5,285, so the total
liabilities of 3,719,244 at September 30, 2010.
|
We do not have sufficient
resources to effectuate our business. We expect to incur a minimum of $1,000,000 in
expenses during the next twelve months of operations. We estimate that this will be
comprised of the following expenses: $200,000 in website development; $250,000 in
marketing expenses; and $550,000 in general overhead expenses such as for salaries,
corporate legal and accounting fees, office overhead and general working capital. In
addition we will require an additional Euro 1.5 million for the payment obligations to the
creditors and loan givers in respect of the acquisition of the Commodore Licensing and C=
Holdings.
|
Our auditors have
indicated that we will have to raise the funds to pay for these expenses. We may have to
borrow money from shareholders or issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic
arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be
available to us. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any
person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since we
have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for a
marketing program will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable
company.
|
Going Concern Consideration
|
Our independent auditors
included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the accompanying financial statements
regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial
statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to
this disclosure by our independent auditors.
|
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

|
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND
DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES
|
On December 29, 2010, the
Company elected and appointed Albert Wong & Co., LLP, an independent U.S. registered
public accounting firm which is associated with the Company's then independent registered
public accounting firm, Albert Wong & Co., as our new auditors, effective on the same
day.
|
No accountant's report
issued by Albert Wong & Co. on the financial statements for either of 2008 and 2009
contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion or was qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except for a going concern opinion
expressing substantial doubt about the ability of us to continue as a going concern.
|
During the period that
Albert Wong & Co. served as our independent registered public accounting firm and
through the date of dismissal, we have not had any disagreements with Albert Wong &
Co. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure. There were no reportable events, as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B)
of Regulation S-K.
|
Effective December 29,
2010, we appointed Albert Wong & Co., LLP, which appointment was approved by our Board
of Directors, to act as our independent auditors. During the Company's two most recent
fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 or subsequent interim period prior to November 15,
2010, the Company has not consulted Albert Wong & Co., LLP regarding the application
of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the
type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, nor
did Albert Wong & Co., LLP provide advice to the Company, either written or oral, that
was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the
accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue. Further, during the Company's two most
recent fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 or subsequent interim period prior to
November 15, 2010, the Company has not consulted Albert Wong & Co., LLP on any matter
that was the subject of a "disagreement" or a "reportable event" (each
as defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K).
|
25
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
Our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the "Certifying Officers")
are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for
us. Based upon such officers' evaluation of these controls and procedures as of a date
within 90 days of the filing of this annual report, and subject to the limitations noted
hereinafter, the Certifying Officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in
this annual report is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal
executive officers as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
|
The Certifying Officers
have also indicated that, except as set forth above, there were no significant changes in
our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect such controls
subsequent to the date of their evaluation, and there were no corrective actions with
regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses
|
Management's annual report on internal
control over financial reporting
|
Management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting, as such term
is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our management evaluated, under the supervision
and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting as of the most recent fiscal year ended
September 30, 2010.
|
Based on its evaluation
under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, our management concluded that our
internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2010, due
to the existence of significant deficiencies constituting material weaknesses, as
described in greater detail below. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or
combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis.
|
In the course of making
our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we
identified one material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This
material weakness consisted of inadequate staffing within the accounting operations of our
Company. The small number of employees who are responsible for accounting functions (more
specifically, one) prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system.
The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely
identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a
failure to perform timely and effective reviews.
|
This annual report does
not include an attestation report by the Company's registered public accounting firm
regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject
to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only
management's report in this annual report.

|
At present, we do not have

due to our limited capital resources.
|
Limitation of Liability and
Indemnification
|
Our
certificate of incorporation limits the personal liability of our board members for
breaches by them of their fiduciary duties. Our bylaws also require us to indemnify our
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. Nevada law provides
that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for
breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except:
|
|
*
|
Any breach of
their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
|
|
*
|
Acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law;
|
|
*
|
unlawful
payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions;
and
|
|
*
|
Any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
|
Such limitation of
liability may not apply to liabilities arising under the federal securities laws and does
not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.
In addition and in accordance with Nevada law, our bylaws also permit us to secure
insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability
arising out of his or her actions in this capacity, regardless of whether indemnification
would be permitted under Nevada law. We currently do not maintain liability insurance for
our directors and officers.
|
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership
Reporting Compliance.
|
Section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive
officers, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to
file reports of ownership of common stock and other equity securities of our company with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and more than ten percent
stockholders are required by Commission regulation to furnish us with copies of all
Section 16(a) reports they file. To our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of
these reports furnished to us during 2009, all required Section 16(a) reports for our
directors, officers and beneficial owners of ten percent of our outstanding stock were
filed on a timely basis.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Asiarim Corporation
|
We have audited the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Asiarim Corporation (the "Group") as
of September 30, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders
'equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Group's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audit.
|
We conducted our audit of
these statements in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
|
In our opinion, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the
financial position of Asiarim Corporation as of September 30, 2009, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
|
The Group's financial
statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities
in the normal course of business. The Group has accumulated deficit of $55,043 as at
September 30, 2009 including net loss of $46,090 for the year ended September 30, 2009.
These factors as discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, raises substantial doubt
about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to
these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

of September 30, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders'equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Group's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audit.
|
We conducted our audit of
these statements in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
|
In our opinion, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the
financial position of Asiarim Corporation as of September 30, 2010, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
|
The Group's financial
statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities
in the normal course of business. The Group has accumulated deficit of $1,148,302 as at
September 30, 2010 including net loss of $1,093,259 for the year ended September 30, 2010.
These factors as discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, raises substantial doubt
about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to
these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ASIARIM CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
1. ORGANIZATION
|
Asiarim Corporation (the
"Company") is a Nevada corporation, incorporated on June 15, 2007. The Company's
planned principal operations have commenced. The Company was no longer a development stage
enterprise in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification ASC 915
"Development Stage Entity". The Company' s office is located in Haerstraat, The
Netherlands and in Hong Kong SAR, China and its principal business is the sale and
distribution of computer, telecom, gaming, multimedia products and devices under the brand
name "Commodore" and brand licensing.
|
2. UNCERTAINTY OF ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A
GOING CONCERN
|
The Company's financial
statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities
in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues since
inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate
significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the
Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain
necessary equity or capital financing to continue operations and the attainment of
profitable operations. The management will seek to raise funds from strategic investors
and or the shareholders.
|
Since June 15,
2007 (inception) to September 30, 2010, the Company has generated revenue of $121,344 and
has incurred an accumulated deficit $1,148,302. As of September 30, 2010, its current
liabilities exceed its current assets by $3,544,387, which may not be sufficient to pay
for the operating expenses in the next 12 months. These financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company
be unable to continue as a going concern. These factors noted above raise substantial
doubts regarding the Company' s ability to continue as a going concern.
|
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES & REALIZATION OF ASSETS
|
Basis of Presentation
|
The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principals generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements for the year ended September
30, 2010 included in the Company Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission are expressed in U.S. dollars. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position and results of operations for the year presented have been included.
|
F-7
Principles of
Consolidation

statements for year ended September 30, 2010 include the financial statements of the

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES & REALIZATION OF ASSETS (CONTINUED)
|
Use of Estimates
|
The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per
Share
|
The Company computes net
income (loss) per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ASC 260
"Earnings Per Share" formerly SFAS No. 128. "Earnings per Share" . ASC
260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per Share (EPS) on the face
of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to
common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding
(denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common
shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible
preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock
price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased
from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive
potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
|
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
|
ASC 820 "Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures" codified SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments". ASC 820 applies to all entities, transactions, and
instruments that require or permit fair value measurements, with specific exceptions and
qualifications. The Company is required to disclose estimated fair values of financial
instruments. Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and
liabilities, which represent financial instruments, none of which are held for trading
purposes, approximate are carrying values of such amounts.
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents
|
The Company considers all liquid investments
with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily
convertible into cash to be cash equivalents.
|
Inventories
|
Inventories are stated at
the lower of cost or market, cost being determined on the first-in, first-out method.
Inventories are written down if the estimated net realizable value is less than the
recorded value.
|
Intangible Assets
|
Intangible assets that
are acquired by the Group are stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated
amortization (where the estimated useful life is finite) and impairment losses. The
useful lives of other intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite.
|
(a) Finite Lives Assets
|
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic lives and
assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible assets
may be impaired. The amortization period and method for an intangible asset with a
finite useful life are reviewed annually. The amortization of the intangible assets
with finite lives is recorded in other operating expenses. At the balance sheet date,
the Company's Intangible asset is the souring and distribution network arising from
the joint venture with Ascenda which is amortized on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of 5 years period.
|
(b) Other Indefinite Long-Lived Assets
|
The Company's indefinite long-lived asset consists of an intangible asset with an
indefinite useful life of which is the brand trademark. As at September 30, 2010,
the Company had approximately $2,658,254 of trademark, accounted for approximately
53% of the Company's total assets. According to ASC 350-30-35-18, the subsequent
measurement of an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life which is not
subject to amortization shall be tested for impairment annually or more frequently
if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.
The assets shall be combined in a single unit in test for impairment until its
useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. The Company reviews its
indefinite useful life intangible assets for impairment annually to determine
whether events and circumstances continue to support the indefinite useful life
and the fair value with its carrying amount. If and when an intangible asset is
determined to no longer have an indefinite useful life, the asset shall then be
amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life and accounted
for in the same manner as other intangible assets that are subject to amortization.
The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible
assets with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset
exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal
to that excess.

Income Tax
|
The Company accounts for
income taxes under ASC 740 "Income Taxes" which codified SFAS 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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. Under ASC 740,
the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for
certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not
realize tax assets through future operations.
|
Revenue Recognition
|
The Company recognizes its
revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commissions ("SEC") Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements "
("SAB 104 " ). Revenue is recognized upon shipment, provided that evidence of an
arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or
determinable and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is
recorded net of estimated product returns, which is based upon the Company's return
policy, sales agreements, management estimates of potential future product returns related
to current period revenue, current economic trends, changes in customer composition and
historical experience.
|
Stock-based Compensation
|
ASC 718 "Compensation
- Stock Compensation" codified SFAS No. 123 prescribes accounting and reporting
standards for all stock-based payments award to employees, including employee stock
options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. ,
may be classified as either equity or liabilities. The Company should determine if a
present obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction in cash or other assets
exists. A present obligation to settle in cash or other assets exists if: (a) the option
to settle by issuing equity instruments lacks commercial substance or (b) the present
obligation is implied because of an entity's past practices or stated policies. If a
present obligation exists, the transaction should be recognized as a liability; otherwise,
the transaction should be recognized as equity.
The Company accounts for stock-based
compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of
ASC 505-50 "Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees" which codified SFAS 123
and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18 ("EITF 96-18"),
"Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for
Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services". Measurement of
share-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be based on the fair value of
whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the
equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction should be
determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
|
Issuance of Shares for Service
|
The Company accounts for the issuance of
equity instruments to acquire goods and services based on the fair value of the goods and
services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is
more reliably measurable.
|
Employees' Benefits and Pension
Obligations
|
Mandatory contributions of
five percent of gross salary payments, subject to certain minimum and maximum levels, are
made to defined contribution Mandatory Provident Fund schemes ("MPF schemes")
pursuant to the laws of Hong Kong. These contributions are charged to expense in the same
period as the related salary cost. Total contributions made by the Hong Kong subsidiary
company to the MPF schemes were $1,076 and $2,195 for the year September 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively.

Segmented Reporting
|
The Company operates in
two reportable segments. FASB ASC 280-10 (SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information"), establishes standards for the way that
public business enterprises report information about operating segments in their annual
consolidated financial statements. Operating segments are components of an enterprise
about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the
chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. The Company's operations segments include business consulting services and
trading of computers.
|
Foreign Currency Translation
|
The Company's functional
and reporting currency is the United States dollar. The accounts of the Company's
Netherlands, Hong Kong and China subsidiaries are maintained, in Euro, Hong Kong dollars
(HKD) and Chinese Renminbi, respectively. Such financial statements are translated into
U.S. Dollars (USD) in accordance with ASC 830 "Foreign Currency Translation"
which codified Statement of Financial Accounts Standards ("SFAS") No. 52,
"Foreign Currency Translation," with the respective currency as the functional
currency. According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities were translated at the
exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholder's equity are translated at the
historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average
exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other
comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income. As of September 30, 2010, the comprehensive income was $91,744 (September 30,
2009: Nil).

Recently Implemented Standards
|
ASC 105,
Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles
("ASC 105") (formerly Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 168,
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No.
162
) reorganized by topic existing accounting and reporting guidance issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") into a single source of
authoritative generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") to be applied by
nongovernmental entities. All guidance contained in the Accounting Standards Codification
("ASC") carries an equal level of authority. Rules and interpretive releases of
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under authority of federal
securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Accordingly,
all other accounting literature will be deemed "non-authoritative". ASC 105 is
effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for interim and annual
periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company has implemented the guidance included
in ASC 105 as of July 1, 2009. The implementation of this guidance changed the Company's
references to GAAP authoritative guidance but did not impact the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
|
ASC 855, Subsequent Events
("ASC 855") (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165,
Subsequent Events) includes guidance that was issued by the FASB in May 2009, and is
consistent with current auditing standards in defining a subsequent event. Additionally,
the guidance provides for disclosure regarding the existence and timing of a company's
evaluation of its subsequent events. ASC 855 defines two types of subsequent events,
"recognized" and "non-recognized". Recognized subsequent events
provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet
and are required to be reflected in the financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent
events provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance
sheet but arose after that date and, therefore; are not required to be reflected in the
financial statements. However, certain non-recognized subsequent events may require
disclosure to prevent the financial statements from being misleading. This guidance was
effective prospectively for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15,
2009. The Company implemented the guidance included in ASC 855 as of April 1, 2009. The
effect of implementing this guidance was not material to the Company's financial position
or results of operations.

ASC 944, Financial
Services - Insurance ("ASC 944") contains guidance that was previously issued by
the FASB in May 2008 as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 163, Accounting
for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60
that provides for changes to both the recognition and measurement of premium revenues and
claim liabilities for financial guarantee insurance contracts that do not qualify as a
derivative instrument in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (formerly
included under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities). This financial guarantee insurance
contract guidance also expands the disclosure requirements related to these contracts to
include such items as a company's method of tracking insured financial obligations with
credit deterioration, financial information about the insured financial obligations, and
management's policies for placing and monitoring the insured financial obligations. ASC
944, as it relates to financial guarantee insurance contracts, was effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008, except for certain disclosures related to the
insured financial obligations, which were effective for the third quarter of 2008. The
Company does not have financial guarantee insurance products, and, accordingly, the
implementation of this portion of ASC 944 did not have an effect on the Company's results
of operations or financial position.
|
ASC 805, Business
Combinations ("ASC 805") (formerly included under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations) contains guidance that
was issued by the FASB in December 2007. It requires the acquiring entity in a business
combination to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at
the acquisition-date fair value, with certain exceptions. Additionally, the guidance
requires changes to the accounting treatment of acquisition related items, including,
among other items, transaction costs, contingent consideration, restructuring costs,
indemnification assets and tax benefits. ASC 805 also provides for a substantial number of
new disclosure requirements. ASC 805 also contains guidance that was formerly issued as
FSP FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business
Combination That Arise from Contingencies which was intended to provide additional
guidance clarifying application issues regarding initial recognition and measurement,
subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising
from contingencies in a business combination. ASC 805 was effective for business
combinations initiated on or after the first annual reporting period beginning after
December 15, 2008. The Company implemented this guidance effective January 1, 2009.
Implementing this guidance did not have an effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations; however it will likely have an impact on the Company's accounting
for future business combinations, but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions, if any,
that are made in the future.
|
ASC 810, Consolidation
("ASC 810") includes new guidance issued by the FASB in December 2007 governing
the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as
minority interests). This guidance established reporting requirements which include, among
other things, that noncontrolling interests be reflected as a separate component of
equity, not as a liability. It also requires that the interests of the parent and the
noncontrolling interest be clearly identifiable. Additionally, increases and decreases in
a parent's ownership interest that leave control intact shall be reflected as equity
transactions, rather than step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses. This guidance
also requires changes to the presentation of information in the financial statements and
provides for additional disclosure requirements. ASC 810 was effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company implemented this guidance as of
January 1, 2009. The effect of implementing this guidance was not material to the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

ASC 825, Financial
Instruments ("ASC 825") includes guidance which was issued in February 2007 by
the FASB and was previously included under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. The related sections within ASC 825 permit a company
to choose, at specified election dates, to measure at fair value certain eligible
financial assets and liabilities that are not currently required to be measured at fair
value. The specified election dates include, but are not limited to, the date when an
entity first recognizes the item, when an entity enters into a firm commitment or when
changes in the financial instrument causes it to no longer qualify for fair value
accounting under a different accounting standard. An entity may elect the fair value
option for eligible items that exist at the effective date. At that date, the difference
between the carrying amounts and the fair values of eligible items for which the fair
value option is elected should be recognized as a cumulative effect adjustment to the
opening balance of retained earnings. The fair value option may be elected for each entire
financial instrument, but need not be applied to all similar instruments. Once the fair
value option has been elected, it is irrevocable. Unrealized gains and losses on items for
which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings. This guidance
was
effective as of the beginning of fiscal
years that began after November 15, 2007. The Company does not have eligible financial
assets and liabilities, and, accordingly, the implementation of ASC 825 did not have an
effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
|
ASC 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820") (formerly included under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements) includes guidance that
was issued by the FASB in September 2006 that created a common definition of fair value to
be used throughout generally accepted accounting principles. ASC 820 applies whenever
other standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, with
certain exceptions. This guidance established a hierarchy for determining fair value which
emphasizes the use of observable market data whenever available. It also required expanded
disclosures which include the extent to which assets and liabilities are measured at fair
value, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value
measures on earnings. ASC 820 also provides additional guidance for estimating fair value
when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly
decreased. The emphasis of ASC 820 is that fair value is the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing
market participants, under current market conditions. ASC 820 also further clarifies the
guidance to be considered when determining whether or not a transaction is orderly and
clarifies the valuation of securities in markets that are not active. This guidance
includes information related to a company's use of judgment, in addition to market
information, in certain circumstances to value assets which have inactive markets.
|
Fair value guidance in ASC
820 was initially effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for
interim periods within those fiscal years for financial assets and liabilities. The
effective date of ASC 820 for all non-recurring fair value measurements of nonfinancial
assets and nonfinancial liabilities was fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.
Guidance related to fair value measurements in an inactive market was effective in October
2008 and guidance related to orderly transactions under current market conditions was
effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.
|
The Company applied the
provisions of ASC 820 to its financial assets and liabilities upon adoption at January 1,
2008 and adopted the remaining provisions relating to certain nonfinancial assets and
liabilities on January 1, 2009. The difference between the carrying amounts and fair
values of those financial instruments held upon initial adoption, on January 1, 2008, was
recognized as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings
and was not material to the Company's financial position or results of operations. The
Company implemented the guidance related to orderly transactions under current market
conditions as of April 1, 2009, which also was not material to the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

In August 2009, the FASB
issued ASC Update No. 2009-05,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):
Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value
("ASC Update No. 2009-05"). This update
amends ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
and provides further
guidance on measuring the fair value of a liability. The guidance establishes the types of
valuation techniques to be used to value a liability when a quoted market price in an
active market for the identical liability is not available, such as the use of an
identical or similar liability when traded as an asset. The guidance also further
clarifies that a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the
measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset
in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are
both Level 1 fair value measurements. If adjustments are required to be applied to the
quoted price, it results in a level 2 or 3 fair value measurement. The guidance provided
in the update is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods)
beginning after issuance. The Company does not expect that the implementation of ASC
Update No. 2009-05 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of

per Share (or Its Equivalent)
("ASC Update No. 2009-12"). This update sets
forth guidance on using the net asset value per share provided by an investee to estimate
the fair value of an alternative investment. Specifically, the update permits a reporting
entity to measure the fair value of this type of investment on the basis of the net asset
value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if all or substantially all of the
underlying investments used in the calculation of the net asset value is consistent with
ASC 820. The update also requires additional disclosures by each major category of
investment, including, but not limited to, fair value of underlying investments in the
major category, significant investment strategies, redemption restrictions, and unfunded
commitments related to investments in the major category. The amendments in this update
are effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009 with early

("ASC Update No. 2009-13). This updates set forth the guidance on the existing
multiple-element arrangement currently in FASB Topic 605-25 (Revenue Recognition -
Multiple-Element Arrangements). This new guidance eliminates the requirement that all
undelivered elements have objective evidence of fair value before a company can recognize
the portion of the overall arrangement fee that is attributable to the items that have
already been delivered. Further, companies will be required to allocate revenue in
arrangements involving multiple deliverables based on the estimated selling price of each
deliverable, even though such deliverables are not sold separately by either company
itself or other vendors. This new guidance also significantly expands the disclosures
required for multiple-element revenue arrangements. The revised guidance will be effective

In June 2009, FASB issued

Interpretation No. 46R,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an interpretation
of ARB No. 51
("FIN 46R") to require an analysis to determine whether a
company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis
identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that
has a) the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most
significantly impact the entity's economic performance and b) the obligation to absorb
losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity
or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to
the variable interest entity. The statement requires an ongoing assessment of whether a
company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity when the holders of the
entity, as a group, lose power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the actions
that most significantly affect the entity's economic performance. This statement also
enhances disclosures about a company's involvement in variable interest entities.
Statement No. 167 is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period
that begins after November 15, 2009. Although Statement No. 167 has not been incorporated
into the Codification, in accordance with ASC 105, the standard shall remain authoritative

Codification?
, originally issued as FASB Statement No. 160

Subtopic 810-10 establishes the
accounting and reporting guidance for noncontrolling interests and changes in ownership
interests of a subsidiary. An entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the
entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon
deconsolidation of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction
and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. The gain or loss
includes any gain or loss associated with the difference between the fair value of the
retained investment in the subsidiary and its carrying amount at the date the subsidiary
is deconsolidated. In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in its
ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the
subsidiary as an equity transaction.

8. ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
|
i) Intangible assets - Business Network arising on setting up Commodore Asia JV
|
As announced in a Form 8K filed
on July 8, 2010, on July 1, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Ascenda Corporation
("Ascenda") to set up Commodore Asia JV to be engaged in the business of design, sourcing,
development, procurement, trade financing and product support for certain computer and mobile
(smart) phone products and other products, from time to time, under the "Commodore" brand name.
Pursuant to the agreement, Ascenda received 2,685,000 shares in the Company for the services
it provides to the joint venture company. Ascenda shall receive additional 2,685,000 shares
in the Company provided certain sales targets are achieved in the next 2 years. Ascenda shall
further have the right to sell its 49% in the JV Company to the Company for 2,685,000 shares
in the Company within 3 years commencing from the date of the closing of the agreement
provided that the business plans and milestones have been achieved.
|
The issuance of shares to
Ascenda was to acquire the sourcing expertise in Asia, electronic manufacturing and industry
knowledge and network in Asia, and electronics distribution knowledge and network in North
America and Asia. The purchase price allocation for the consideration of $2,148,000 for the
issuance of the 2,685,000 shares in the Company was allocated to Intangible Assets - Business Network arising from
Commodore Asia JV. This intangible asset is amortized on a straight line basis over the
estimated useful lives of 5 years period.
|
ii) Intangible Assets - identifiable and quantifiable value of the Brand name resulting from acquisition of C= Holding, Commodore Licensing, Commodore Electronics, and Commodore Europe
|
As announced in the Form
8-K, on September 1, 2009 the Company entered into a conditional Participation Agreement,
subject to due diligence inter alia i) to acquire all the remaining shares, representing
50%, in the share capital of Commodore Electronics from Commodore Licensing for Euro
1,000,000 (US$1,500,000); ii) to acquire the 49% interests in the share capital of C=
Holding held by Reunite Investments Inc for Euro 500,000 (US$750,000) and a performance
earn out payment of up to Euro 500,000 (US$750,000) after meeting certain profit targets
for the two years after closing and the right to acquire the remaining 51% interests for a
maximum consideration of Euro 500,000 (US$750,000); and iii) to acquire all the issued
share capital of Commodore Licensing held by its board of directors and Reunite
Investments Inc. for the issuance of 11,020,000 shares in the share capital of the
Company. The transaction closed on January 6, 2010. In July 2010, the Company issued a
further 4,500,000 shares pursuant to the Addendum to the Participation Agreement.
|
The consideration for the
acquisition is a payment of up to Euro 2,000,000 and the issuance of 11,020,000 shares of
the Company's common stock valued at $0.01 per share.
|
In February 2010, the
Group entered into an agreement to acquire 51% of C= Holdings for a consideration of Euro
300,000. After the purchase, C= Holdings became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
|
The purchase price
allocation for the consideration for the acquisition of C= Holding and Commodore
Licensing was initially allocated to goodwill as per our previous filings. However
after further review the management believed that the intangible asset arising from
the acquisition can be attributable to a separate identifiable and quantifiable
intangible asset - the trademark "Commodore" which was collectively acquired on
the above transactions. Accordingly, the purchase price allocated for to the
identifiable and quantifiable separated intangible assets are set forth below.

According to ASC
805-10-55-12, the Company was determined as the legal and accounting acquirer for the
acquisition of Commodore Electronics. Commodore Licensing, former major shareholder of
Commodore Electronics, was the legal and accounting acquiree. After the acquisition, Mitex
Group Limited ("Mitex"), which was controlled by Mr. Ben van Wijhe, was still
the single major corporate shareholder with 37% of shareholding. The second and the third
largest minority shareholders derived from Commodore Licensing combined together held
34.25% of shareholding. Thus, Mitex maintains the most influential position in the
Company. Moreover, there has been no change in the board of directors and top level
management team after the Commodore acquisition. The combined Company is under the control
of the original Asiarim management team. Base on these facts and circumstance, the Company
determined that the acquisition of Commodore was a regular acquisition instead of reverse
acquisition.

No provision was made for
income tax for the period from June 15, 2007 (Inception) to September 30, 2010 as the
Company and its subsidiary had operating losses. For the period from June 15, 2007
(Inception) to September 30, 2010, the Company and its subsidiary incurred net operating
losses for tax purposes of approximately $442,864 and $705,438, respectively. Total net
operating losses carried forward at September 30, 2010, (i) for Federal and State purposes
were $442,864 and $442,864, respectively and (ii) for its entities outside of the United
States were $705,438 for the period ended September 30, 2010. The net operating loss
carry-forward may be used to reduce taxable income through the year 2026. The availability
of the Company's net operating loss carry-forwards is subject to limitation if there is a
50% or more change in the ownership of the Company's stock.
|
There was no significant
difference between reportable income tax and statutory income tax. The gross deferred tax
asset balance as of September 30, 2010 was approximately $221,932 of which $66,430 was for
US federal income tax and $44,706 was for Hong Kong income tax and $110,796 was for
Netherlands income tax. A 100% valuation allowance has been established against the
deferred tax asset, as the utilization of the loss carry-forwards cannot reasonably be
assured.

As reconciliation between
the income taxes computed at the United States and Hong Kong statutory rate and the
Group's provision for income taxes is as follows:
