For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, sales were $3,888,116, compared to $10,402,375 at September 30, 2011, a decrease of 63%. This decrease in net sales was due to high competition in online shopping. As such, the Company began the transition from online retail sales to focus more on sales to a relatively smaller number of distributors.

Cost of Sales For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company's cost of sales were $1,227,218 and $3,057,157 respectively, a decrease of 60%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, cost of sales were $3,783,890, compared to $9,831,223 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of 62%. This decrease in cost of sales was mainly due to the decrease in sales.

Gross Profit. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, our gross profit decreased to $17,240 from $157,725 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing an 89% decrease. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our gross profit decreased to $104,226 from $571,152 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing an 82% decrease. The decrease in gross profit ratio was a result of the transition of our business from online sales to sales to distributors during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Stock Based Compensation. The Company had stock based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $75,911 and $231,359, respectively. The compensation was issued for various consulting and professional services to the Company. See Note 8 to the financial statements for a thorough discussion of the issuances.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $95,892 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $629,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing an 85% decrease. The expense decreased to $540,825 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $1,776,441 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing a 70% decrease. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in staff headcount and accordingly reduction in staff payroll.

Net loss. The Company's net loss was $151,278 and $468,306, and $663,757 and $1,197,045, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The three month decrease of 68% and nine month decrease of 45% resulted primarily from decreased sales over the respective period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13,250 and $855,713, respectively, primarily consisting of cash on hand and demand deposits. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations and capital contributions by our shareholders.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, our independent auditors, in their report on the financial statements, have indicated that the Company has experienced recurring losses from operations and may not have enough cash and working capital to fund its operations beyond the very near term, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management has made a similar note in the financial statements. As indicated herein, we have need of capital for the implementation of our business plan, and we will need additional capital for continuing our operations. We do not have sufficient revenues to pay our expenses of operations. Unless the Company is able to raise working capital, it is likely that the Company either will have to cease operations or substantially change its methods of operations or change its business plan.

3--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Our cash flows for the nine month periods are summarized as follows: Nine months ended September 30, 2012 2011 Net cash used in operating activities $ (1,692,744 ) $ (1,462,787 ) Net cash (used in) investing activities - - Net cash provided by financing activities 844,206 362,583 Effect of exchange rate change on cash and cash equivalents 6,075 41,432 Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents (842,463 ) (1,058,772 ) Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period 855,713 2,671,162 Cash and cash equivalents at end of period $ 13,250 $ 1,612,390 Operating activities Net cash used in operating activities was $1,692,744 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,462,787 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The primary change in cash used was due to an inventory buildup, as discussed in Note 3, Inventory.

Investing activities No cash was used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 or September 30, 2011.

Financing activities Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $844,206 compared to $362,583 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net cash provided by financing activities during 2012 was attributable to a cash advance from a director. During 2011, financing was attributed to cash received from the merger with China Ceetop and capital injection from four shareholders of a subsidiary company prior to the reverse acquisition took place on January 27, 2011.

Although the Company incurred a loss of $663,757 and had sustained accumulated deficit of $4,989,405 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as a result of continued financial support from shareholders, we still maintained positive net equity of $505,545 at September 30, 2012.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have never entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements and have never established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.
