PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including “Risk Factors” and our consolidated financial statements, including the notes to the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. As used throughout this prospectus, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” and words of like import refer to China Education Alliance, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Our Business

We are an education service company that provides on-line education and on-site training in the People’s Republic of China. Our principal business is the distribution of educational resources through the Internet. Our website, www.edu-chn.com, is a comprehensive education network platform which is based on network video technology and large data sources of elementary education resources. We have a data base comprised of such resources as test papers that were used for secondary education and university level courses as well as video on demand. Our data base includes more than 300,000 exams and test papers and courseware for college, secondary and elementary schools, which includes exams that had previously been given and exams that were developed by teachers who we engaged. We market this data base under the name “Famous Instructor Test Paper Store.” We also offer, though our website, video on demand, which includes tutoring of exam papers and exam techniques. We compliment the past exams and test papers by providing an interactive platform for students to understand the key points from the papers and exams. Although a number of the resources are available through our website without charge, we charge our subscribers for such services as the Famous Instructor Test Paper Store and the video on demand. Subscribers can purchase debit cards which can be used to download material from our website.

We also provide on-site teaching services in Harbin, which we market under the name “Classroom of Famed Instructors.” We have a 36,600 square foot training facility in Harbin, Heilonjiang Province, China, which has 17 classrooms and can accommodate 1,200 students. These classes, which complement our on-line education services, provide classroom and tutoring to our students. The courses cover primarily the compulsory education curriculum of junior, middle and high school. We charge tuition for these classes

We are introducing a program of on-line vocational training services. We have collaborated with the China Vocation Education Society to set up a website, www.360ve.com, which is an Internet platform for training agencies and schools to offer their services. We launched www.360ve.com in September 2007. We are calling this program our “Millions of College Students Employment Crossroad” program. We offer job search capability and career planning courses for university students. We developed this program in response to the high jobless rate for China’s college graduates. Many college graduates pursue vocational training after college education in order to find employment. Our program is designed to establish a long-term training program for college students to build connections with corporations and obtain educational programs prescribed by the hiring corporations. We anticipate that we will constantly revise our materials to meet changes in the market as well as the demands of university students and graduates who enroll in our courses in order to meet their changing needs.

Reverse Stock Split

On October 12, 2007, we effected a one-for-three reverse split of our common stock. All share and per share information in this prospectus retroactively reflects this reverse split.

Organization

We were incorporated in North Carolina on December 2, 1996 under the name of ABC Realty Co. to engage in residential real estate transactions as a broker or agent. Following the September 2004 reverse acquisition described below, our corporate name was changed to China Education Alliance, Inc. At the time of the reverse acquisition, we were not engaged in any business activity and we were considered to be a blank-check shell company.

 

On September 15, 2004, we entered into an agreement pursuant to which:

·

the stockholders of Harbin Zhong He Li Da Jiao Yu Ke Ji You Xian Gong Si (“Harbin Zhong He Li Da”), a corporation organized under the laws of China (the “PRC”), transferred all of the stock of Harbin Zhong He Li Da to us and we issued to those stockholders a total of 18,333,333 shares of common stock, representing 95% of our outstanding common stock after giving effect to the transaction.

 

·

Duane Bennett, who was then our chairman of the board and controlling shareholder, caused 3,666,667 shares of common stock that were controlled by him to be transferred to us for cancellation, for which Harbin Zhong He Li Da or its stockholders paid $400,000, of which $300,000 was paid in cash and the balance was paid by a promissory note, which has been paid.

 

·

On November 17, 2004, we changed our corporate name to China Education Alliance, Inc.

 

Our executive offices are located at 58 Heng Shan Road, Kun Lun Shopping Mall Harbin, People’s Republic of China 150090, telephone number 86-451-8233-5794.

 

Issuance of Securities to the Selling Stockholders

In May 2007, we issued to the selling stockholders, for $3,400,000, convertible notes in the principal amount of $3,400,000. Upon filing of articles of amendment to our articles of incorporation and a certificate of designation setting forth the rights, preferences, privileges and limitation on the holders of the series A convertible preferred stock (“series A preferred stock”), the notes were automatically converted into 9,189,189 shares of series A preferred stock and warrants to purchase a total of 735,632 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share, 2,833,333 shares of common stock at $2.07 per share, 681,034 shares of common stock at $2.40 per share and 264,367 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share. The 9,189,189 shares of series A preferred stock are convertible into 3,063,063 shares of common stock. Each share of series A preferred stock is convertible into one-third of a share of common stock, and the conversion price of the series A preferred stock, which is determined by dividing the purchase price of $3,400,000 by the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion, is $1.11 per share.

 

On May 8, 2007, the date of the initial closing on the securities purchase agreement, the closing price of our common stock was $1.11 per share. At such date, the value of the 2,250,000 shares of common stock offered hereby had a value, based on the market price, of approximately $2.5 million. Based on the $4.74 per share closing price of our common stock on November 26, 2007, these shares had a value of approximately $10.7 million.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In determining whether to purchase our securities, you should carefully consider all of the material risks described below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus before making a decision to purchase our securities. You should only purchase our securities if you can afford to suffer the loss of your entire investment.

Risks Associated with our Business

Our business is dependent upon the Chinese government’s educational policies and programs.

As a provider of educational services, we are dependent upon government educational policies. Almost all of our revenue to date has been generated from the sale of test papers and materials relating to courses at different educational levels. To the extent that the government adopts policies or curriculum changes that significantly alter the testing and course material used in the Chinese educational system, our products could become obsolete, which would affect our ability to generate revenue and operate profitably. We cannot assure you that the Chinese government agencies would not adopt such changes.

 

6

---

 

We are subject to numerous Chinese rules and regulations which restrict the scope of our business and could have a material adverse impact on us.

 

We are subject to numerous rules and regulations in China, including, without limitation, restrictions on foreign ownership of Internet and education companies and regulation of Internet content. Many of the rules and regulations that we face are not explicitly communicated, but arise from the fact that education and the Internet are politically sensitive areas of the economy.  We are not aware that any of our agreements or our current organizational structure is in violation of any governmental requirements or restrictions, explicit or implicit.  However, there can be no assurance that we are in compliance now, or will be in the future.  Moreover, operating in China involves a high risk that restrictive rules and regulations could change.  Indeed, even changes of personnel at certain ministries of the government could have a negative impact on us.  The determination that our structure or agreements are in violation of governmental rules or regulations in China would have a material adverse impact on us, our business and on our financial results.

 

Our business may be subject to seasonal and cyclical fluctuations in sales.

 

We may experience seasonal fluctuations in our revenue in some regions in China, based on the academic year and the tendency of parents and students to make purchases relating to their education just prior to or at the beginning of the school year in the autumn.  Any seasonality may cause significant pressure on us to monitor the development of materials accurately and to anticipate and satisfy these requirements.

 

Our business is subject to the health of the Chinese economy.

 

The purchase of educational materials not provided by the state educational system is discretionary and dependant upon the ability and willingness of families or students to spend available funds on extra educational products to prepare them for national examinations. A general economic downturn either in our market or a general economic downturn in China could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, earnings, cash flow and working capital.

 

We depend on our senior officers to manage and develop our business.

 

Our success depends on the management skills of Mr. Xiqun Yu, our chief executive officer and president and his relationships with educators, administrators and other business contacts.  We also depend on successfully recruiting and retaining highly skilled and experienced authors, teachers, managers, sales persons and other personnel who can function effectively in China.  In some cases, the market for these skilled employees is highly competitive.  We may not be able to retain or recruit such personnel, which could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects and financial condition.  We do not maintain key person insurance on these individuals.  We do not have employment contracts with Mr. Yu or any other officers or employees. The loss of Mr. Yu would delay our ability to implement our business plan and would adversely affect our business.

 

We may not be successful in protecting our intellectual property and proprietary rights.

 

Our intellectual property consists of old test papers, which are contained in our library, and courseware which we developed by engaging authors and educators to develop these materials.  Our proprietary software products are primarily protected by trade secret laws.  Although we execute require our authors and software development employees to sign confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, we cannot assure you that we will be able to enforce those agreements or that our authors and software development employees will not be able to develop competitive products that do not infringe upon our proprietary rights. We do not know the extent that Chinese courts will enforce our proprietary rights.

---

 

Others may bring defamation and infringement actions against us, which could be time-consuming, difficult and expensive to defend.

 

As a distributor of educational materials, we face potential liability for negligence, copyright, patent or trademark infringement and other claims based on the nature and content of the materials that we publish or distribute.  Any claims could result in us incurring significant costs to investigate and defend regardless of the final outcome.  We do not carry general liability insurance that would cover any potential or actual claims. The commencement of any legal action against us or any of our affiliates, whether or not we are successful in defending the action, could both require us to suspend or discontinue the distribution of some or a significant portion of our educational material and require us to allocate resources to investigating or defending claims.  

 

We depend upon the acquisition and maintenance of licenses to conduct our business in China.

 

In order to conduct business in China, we need licenses from the appropriate government authorities, including general business licenses and an education service provider license.  The loss or failure to obtain or maintain these licenses in full force and effect will have a material adverse impact on our ability to conduct our business and on our financial condition.

 

Our growth may be inhibited by the inability of potential customers to fund purchases of our products and services.

 

Many schools in China, especially those in rural areas, do not have sufficient funds to purchase textbooks, educational materials or computers to use our web-based educational portal.  In addition, provincial and local governments may not have the funds to support the implementation of a curriculum using our educational products or may allocate funds to programs which are different from our products. Our failure to be able to sell our products and services to students in certain areas of China may inhibit our growth and our ability to operate profitably.

 

Changes in the policies of the government in China could significant impact our ability to operate profitably.

 

The economy of China is a planned economy subject to five-year and annual plans adopted by the government that set down national economic development goals.  Government policies can have significant effect on the economic conditions of China generally and the educational system in particular.  Although the government in China has confirmed that economic development will follow a model of market economy under socialism, a change in the direction of government planning may materially affect our business, prospects and financial condition.

 

Inflation in China could negatively affect our profitability and growth.

 

While the economy in China has experienced rapid growth, such growth has been uneven among various sectors of the economy and in different geographical areas of the country. Rapid economic growth can lead to growth in the money supply and rising inflation. If prices for our products rise at a rate that is insufficient to compensate for the rise in our costs, it may have an adverse effect on profitability. In order to control inflation in the past, the government has imposed controls in bank credits, limits on loans for fixed assets, and restrictions on state bank lending. Such an austerity policy can lead to a slowing of economic growth which could impair our ability to operate profitably.

 

If we make any acquisitions, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business.

 

If we make acquisitions, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired companies’ personnel and operations with our own. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the affect expansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are successful in making an acquisition, the negotiations could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:

 

8

---

 

	·	the difficulty of integrating acquired products, services or operations;
	·	the potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our management and the management of acquired companies;
	·	the difficulty of incorporating acquired rights or products into our existing business;
	·	difficulties in disposing of the excess or idle facilities of an acquired company or business and expenses in maintaining such facilities;
	·	difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
	·	the potential impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel;
	·	the potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers;
	·	the effect of any government regulations which relate to the business acquired;
	·	potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses or product lines, or the need to spend significant amounts to retool, reposition or modify the marketing and sales of acquired products or the defense of any litigation, whether of not successful, resulting from actions of the acquired company prior to our acquisition.

 

Our business could be severely impaired if and to the extent that we are unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks or other problems encountered in connection with these acquisitions, many of which cannot be presently identified, these risks and problems could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Our operations and assets in China are subject to significant political and economic uncertainties.

 

Government policies are subject to rapid change, and the government of the PRC may adopt policies which have the effect of hindering private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. There is no assurance that the government of China will not significantly alter its policies from time to time without notice in a manner with reduces or eliminates any benefits from its present policies of economic reform. In addition, a substantial portion of productive assets in China remains government-owned. For instance, all lands are state owned and leased to business entities or individuals through governmental granting of state-owned land use rights. The granting process is typically based on government policies at the time of granting, which could be lengthy and complex. The government of China also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Uncertainties may arise with changing of governmental policies and measures. In addition, changes in laws and regulations, or their interpretation, or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports and sources of supply, devaluations of currency, the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises, as well as adverse changes in the political, economic or social conditions in China, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Price controls may affect both our revenues and net income.

 

The laws of China provide give the government broad power to fix and adjust prices. We need to obtain government approval in setting our prices for classroom coursework and tutorials. Although the sale of educational material over the Internet is not presently subject to price controls, we cannot give you any assurance that they will not be subject to controls in the future. To the extent that we are subject to price control, our revenue, gross profit, gross margin and net income will be affected since the revenue we derive from our services will be limited and we may face no limitation on our costs. As a result, we may not be able to pass on to our students any increases in costs we incur, increased any increases in the costs of our faculty. Further, if price controls affect both our revenue and our costs, our ability to be profitable and the extent of our profitability will be effectively subject to determination by the applicable Chinese regulatory authorities.

Our operations may not develop in the same way or at the same rate as might be expected if the PRC economy were similar to the market-oriented economies of most developed countries.

 

The economy of the PRC has historically been a nationalistic, “planned economy,” meaning it functions and produces according to governmental plans and pre-set targets or quotas. In certain aspects, the PRC’s economy has been making a transition to a more market-oriented economy, although the government imposes price controls on certain products and in certain industries. However, we cannot predict the future direction of these economic reforms or the effects these measures may have. The economy of the PRC also differs from the economies of most developed countries including with respect to the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. As a result of these differences, our business may not develop in the same way or at the same rate as might be expected if the economy of the PRC were similar to those of other developed countries.

 

Because our officers and directors reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for you to enforce your rights against them or enforce United States court judgments against them in China.  

 

Our directors and our executive officers reside in the PRC and all of our assets are located in China. It may therefore be difficult for United States investors to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon our directors or officers or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties of our directors and officers under federal securities laws. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and China would permit effective enforcement of criminal penalties of the federal securities laws.

 

We may have limited legal recourse under Chinese law if disputes arise under contracts with third parties.

 

All of our agreements, which are made by our Chinese subsidiaries, are governed by the laws of China. The Chinese legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Accordingly decided legal cases have little precedential value. The government of China has enacted some laws and regulations dealing with matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. However, these laws are relatively new and their experience in implementing, interpreting and enforcing these laws and regulations is limited. Therefore, our ability to enforce commercial claims or to resolve commercial disputes may be uncertain. The resolution of these matters may be subject to the exercise of considerable discretion by the parties charged with enforcement of the applicable laws. Any rights we may have to specific performance or to seek an injunction under Chinese law may be limited, and without a means of recourse, we may be unable to prevent these situations from occurring. The occurrence of any such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Because we may not be able to obtain business insurance in the PRC, we may not be protected from risks that are customarily covered by insurance in the United States.

 

Business insurance is not readily available in China. To the extent that we suffer a loss of a type which would normally be covered by insurance in the United States, such as product liability and general liability insurance, we would incur significant expenses in both defending any action and in paying any claims that result from a settlement or judgment.

10

---

 

Because our funds are held in banks which do not provide insurance, the failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could affect our ability to continue in business.

 

Banks and other financial institutions in the PRC do not provide insurance for funds held on deposit. As a result, in the event of a bank failure, we may not have access to funds on deposit. Depending upon the amount of money we maintain in a bank that fails, our inability to have access to our cash could impair our operations, and, if we are not able to access funds to pay our suppliers, employees and other creditors, we may be unable to continue in business.

 

Failure to comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.

 

We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, are not subject to these prohibitions. Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in China. We can make no assurance, however, that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Fluctuations in the exchange rate could have a material adverse effect upon our business.

 

We conduct our business in the Renminbi. The value of the Renminbi 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 decade old policy of pegging its currency to the U.S. currency. Under the current policy, the Renminbi is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an approximately 6.5% appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar between July 21, 2005 and August 31, 2007. However, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. To the extent our future revenues are denominated in currencies other the United States dollars, we would be subject to increased risks relating to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations which could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and operating results since our operating results are reported in United States dollars and significant changes in the exchange rate could materially impact our reported earnings.

 

Recent recalls of Chinese products may affect the market for our stock.

 

Although we do not sell consumer products in the international market, the recent recalls of Chinese products in the United States and elsewhere could affect the market for our stock by causing investors to invest in companies that are not based on China.

 

Certain of our stockholders control a significant amount of our common stock.

 

Approximately 65.6% of our outstanding common stock is owned by our chief executive officer, Mr. Xiqun Yu. Mr. Yu presently has the voting power to elect all of the directors and approve any transaction requiring stockholder approval.

11

---

The terms on which we may raise additional capital may result in significant dilution and may impair our stock price.

 

The terms of our recent private placement and the number of outstanding warrants and the exercise price and other terms on which we may issued common stock upon exercise of the warrants, may make it difficult for us to raise additional capital if required for our present business and for any planned expansion. We are prohibited from (i) issuing convertible debt or preferred stock until the earlier of May 2012 or until the investors have converted or exercised and sold the securities issued in the private placement or (ii) having debt in an amount greater than twice our EBITDA until May 2010 or until 90% of the securities have been converted or exercised and sold. The investors in the private placement also have a right of first refusal on future financings. We cannot assure you that we will be able to get additional financing on any terms, and, if we are able to raise funds, it may be necessary for us to sell our securities at a price which is at a significant discount from the market price and on other terms which may be disadvantageous to us. In connection with any such financing, we may be required to provide registration rights to the investors and pay damages to the investor in the event that the registration statement is not filed or declared effective by specified dates. The price and terms of any financing which would be available to us could result in both the issuance of a significant number of shares and significant downward pressure on our stock price and could result in a reduction of the conversion price of the series A preferred stock and exercise price of the warrants held by the investors in our May 2007 private placement.

 

If we fail to achieve certain financial results, we will be required to issue more shares of series A preferred stock to the holders of our series A preferred stock and reduce the exercise price of the warrants.

 

The warrants and series A preferred stock issued in the May 2007 private placement contain anti-dilution provisions which would result in a reduction of the exercise price of the warrants and the conversion price of the series A preferred stock if we issue common stock at a price which is less than the conversion price of the series A preferred stock or the exercise price of the warrants. In addition, if we fail to meet fully-diluted pre-tax income per share targets set forth in the purchase agreement, the exercise price of the warrants would be reduced and shares of series A preferred stock held in escrow would be delivered to the investors. These adjustments could result in an increase in their percentage interest in our stock and reduction in the effective per share price paid by the investors. We cannot assure you that there will not be such an adjustment. If the maximum downward adjustment based on our pre-tax income were made, the investors would receive a maximum of 2,833,333 additional shares of series A preferred stock, and the exercise price of the warrants would decrease by up to 50%. The 2,833,333 shares of series A preferred stock will be convertible into 944,445 shares of common stock.

 

We have paid liquidated damages and we may be required to pay additional liquidated damages if our board does not consist of a majority of independent directors and our audit committee does not consist of at least three independent directors.

 

The purchase agreement relating to the May 2007 private placement requires us to appoint and maintain such number of independent directors that would result in a majority of our directors being independent directors, that the audit committee would be composed solely of at least three independent directors and the compensation committee would have a majority of independent directors by August 6, 2007. Liquidated damages are payable at the rate of 12% per annum, with a maximum of 12% of the purchase price, payable in cash or shares of Series A Preferred Stock, as the investors may request. The maximum amount of liquidated damages which may be paid under this provision is $408,000. Our failure to comply with these requirements resulted in our payment of liquidated damages through the payment of $77,128 or the issuance of 208,456 shares of series A preferred stock as of October 15, 2007. The shares of series A preferred stock are convertible into 69,484 shares of common stock. The number of shares of series A preferred stock issued was based on the liquidation value of one share of series A preferred stock, which is $.37 per share. Although further liquidated damages for failure to comply with these provisions have been waived through December 31, 2007, if we are not in compliance with these provisions subsequent to December 31, 2007, we may be obligated to pay additional liquidated damages. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, as amended, the shares of series A preferred stock are valued at the liquidation value, which is $0.37 per share of series A preferred stock. Since the market price for our common stock on October 15, 2007 was $4.00 per share, the market value of the shares issued to the investors was approximately $277,944. If we are required to issue any additional shares of series A preferred stock pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, we are to issue the shares at the $0.37 per share liquidation value. If we are required to issue additional shares pursuant to the liquidated damages provisions of the securities purchase agreement and the market price of our common stock at the time the determination is made is greater than $1.11, which is the common stock equivalent of the liquidation value of the series A preferred stock, the investors will receive more shares of series A preferred stock than they would receive if the number of shares were based on the market value at the time of issuance.

 

If we do not register the shares of common stock being sold pursuant to this prospectus in a timely manner, we will be required to issue additional shares of series A preferred stock as liquidated damages.

 

The registration rights agreement which we executed in connection with the sale of the convertible notes initially required us to issue additional shares of series A preferred stock if we failed to file a registration statement by July 7, 2007, and have the registration statement declared effective by November 5, 2007, and keep the registration statement current and effective thereafter. The registration rights agreement was amended to eliminate liquidated damages for failure to file this registration statement when required and to waive any liquidated damages due as a result of our failure to have the registration statement declared effective through December 31, 2007. The agreement provides that the liquidated damages are a maximum of 2,130 of series A preferred stock per day, up to a maximum of 900,000 shares of series A preferred stock. However, since, pursuant to the SEC’s rules relating to secondary offerings, we are not able to register all of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock or exercise of the warrants, the number of shares is reduced to a fraction of 2,130 shares, of which the numerator is the number of shares being registered (2,250,000) and the denominator is the number of shares issuable upon conversion of all of the series A preferred stock (3,063,063), which is 1,565 shares per day. If the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is not declared effective by December 31, 2007, we will be obligated to issue an additional 1,565 shares per day thereafter until the registration statement is declared effective.

Risks Associated with Investing in our Common Stock

 

The rights of the holders of common stock may be impaired by the potential issuance of preferred stock.

 

Our board of directors has the right, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power and equity interest of the holders of common stock., which could be issued with the right to more than one vote per share, could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control. The possible impact on takeover attempts could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any additional shares of preferred stock or to create any new series of preferred stock other than issuances required pursuant to liquidated damages provisions arising for the agreements we signed in connection with the May 2007 private placement, we may issue such shares in the future.

 

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results and stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting.

 

Internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our operating results could be harmed. Under the current SEC regulations, we will be required to include a management report on internal controls over financial reporting in our Form 10-KSB annual report for the year ended December 31, 2007, and we will be required to include an auditor’s report on internal controls over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2008. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, regardless of whether we are required to maintain such controls, could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price. Although we are not aware of anything that would impact our ability to maintain effective internal controls, we have not obtained an independent audit of our internal controls, and, as a result, we are not aware of any deficiencies which would result from such an audit. Further, at such time as we are required to comply with the internal controls requirements of Sarbanes Oxley, we may incur significant expenses in having our internal controls audited and in implementing any changes which are required.

 

Because of our cash requirements and restrictions in our preferred stock purchase agreement as well as potential government restrictions, we may be unable to pay dividends.

 

We are prohibited from paying dividends on our common stock while our series A preferred stock is outstanding. In addition, payment of dividends to our shareholders would require payment of dividends by our China subsidiaries to us. This, in turn, would require a conversion of Renminbi into US dollars and repatriation of funds to the United States. Although our subsidiaries’ classification as wholly-owned foreign enterprises under Chinese law permits them to declare dividends and repatriate their funds to us in the United States, any change in this status or the regulations permitting such repatriation could prevent them from doing so. Any inability to repatriate funds to us would in turn prevent payments of dividends to our shareholders.

Because we may be subject to the “penny stock” rules, you may have difficulty in selling our common stock.

 

Because our stock price is less than $5.00 per share, our stock may be subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements and restrictions on broker-dealers that sell our stock to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors. The application of these rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to sell any common stock you may own.

 

According to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

 

	·	Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
	·	Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
	·	“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
	·	Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
	·	The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

 

As an issuer of “penny stock” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.

 

Although the federal securities law provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, if we are a penny stock we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any based upon an claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.

 

Our stock price may be affected by our failure to meet projections and estimates of earnings developed either by us or by independent securities analysts.

 

Although we do not make projections relating to our future operating results, our operating results may fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors. In this event, the market price of our common stock would likely be materially adversely affected.

 

The volatility of and limited trading market in our common stock may make it difficult for you to sell our common stock for a positive return on your investment.

 

The public market for our common stock has historically been very volatile. Over the past two fiscal years and the interim quarterly periods, the market price for our common stock has ranged from $0.24 to $5.00. Any future market price for our shares is likely to continue to be very volatile. Further, our common stock is not actively traded, which may amplify the volatility of our stock. These factors may make it more difficult for you to sell shares of common stock.

The registration and potential sale, either pursuant to this prospectus or pursuant to Rule 144, by the selling stockholders of a significant number of shares could encourage short sales by third parties.

 

There may be significant downward pressure on our stock price caused by the sale or potential sale of a significant number of shares pursuant to this prospectus, which could allow short sellers of our stock an opportunity to take advantage of any decrease in the value of our stock. The presence of short sellers in our common stock may further depress the price of our common stock.

 

If the selling stockholders sell a significant number of shares of common stock, the market price of our common stock may decline. Furthermore, the sale or potential sale the offered shares pursuant to this prospectus and the depressive effect of such sales or potential sales could make it difficult for us to raise funds from other sources.

Although this prospectus does not cover shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock, the selling stockholders, who hold shares of series A preferred stock which are convertible into an aggregate of 3,063,063 shares of common stock, will be able to sell such shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 based on an amendment to the rule which permits stockholders who are not affiliates of the issuer to sell such stock without restriction after the shares have been held for six months. Since the holding period for these shares of common stock commenced in May 2007, the selling stockholders, as the holders of the series A preferred stock, will be able to convert the series A preferred stock, subject to the 4.9% limitation and sell the underlying common stock as soon as the amended Rule 144 becomes effective. The amendment to Rule 144 was announced in November 2007 and will become effective 60 days after the amended rule is published in the Federal Register. The sale or potential sale of these shares may result in downward pressure on our stock price.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements in this prospectus may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this prospectus, including the risks described under “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this prospectus. In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to the ability to conduct business in China, demand, including demand for our products resulting from change in the educational curriculum or in educational policies, our ability to raise any financing which we may require for our operations, competition, government regulations and requirements, pricing and development difficulties, our ability to make acquisitions and successfully integrate those acquisitions with our business, as well as general industry and market conditions and growth rates, and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of their common stock. If the selling stockholders exercise any warrants, we will receive the amount of the exercise price. The maximum total exercise price is approximately $4.2 million, which we would receive only if all of the warrants for which the underlying shares of common stock are being registered were exercised at their present exercise prices, which are $1.50 per share as to warrants to purchase 735,632 shares of common stock, and $2.07 per share as to warrants to purchase 1,514,368 shares of common stock. Any proceeds which we receive from the exercise of the warrants would be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. In the event that the exercise price of the warrants is reduced as a result of our failure to meet the required level of pre-tax income per share, the total proceeds from the exercise of the warrants could be reduced by up to 50%, with the result that the total proceeds would be reduced by up to approximately $2.1 million. We cannot assure you that any of the warrants will be exercised.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The following table sets forth the names of the selling stockholders, the number of shares of common stock owned beneficially by the selling stockholders as of December 5, 2007, and the number of shares of our common stock that may be offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. The table and the other information contained under the captions “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” has been prepared based upon information furnished to us by or on behalf of the selling stockholders. Upon completion of the offering, none of the selling stockholders will own any shares outright, and will only own shares issuable upon conversion of series A preferred stock or exercise of warrants that have not been sold pursuant to this offering. The following table sets forth, as to each of the selling stockholders, the number of shares beneficially owned, the number of share being sold, the number of shares beneficially owned upon completion of the offering and the percentage beneficial ownership upon completion of the offering.

														After Sale of Shares in Offering
Name		Shares Beneficially  Owned						Shares Being Sold						Shares Beneficially  Owned						Percent of  Outstanding 4
Barron Partners, LP 1						2,101,050						2,101,050						1,116,016						4.9	%
Eos Holdings 2						285,186						82,800						202,386						*
Hua-Mei 21st Century Partners, LP 3						228,148						66,150						161,998						*

   

^*  Less than 1%.

 

1

Andrew B. Worden, president of the general partner of Barron Partners, has sole voting and dispositive power over the shares beneficially owned by Barron Partners. The shares being offered by Barron Partners represent 666,667 shares issuable upon exercise of $1.50 warrants and 1,434,383 shares issuable upon exercise of $2.07 warrants. As a result of the 4.9% limitation on the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock and the exercise of the warrants, the number of shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by Barron Partners after the offering represents the number that, upon such exercise or conversion, would result in Barron Partners owning 4.9% of the then outstanding common stock. The total number of shares which would be owned beneficially by Barron Partners prior to the sale of shares in this offering if the 4.9% limitation were not applicable is 7,133,580 shares, representing the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock and the warrants, which would represent beneficial ownership of 26.9% of our common stock.

 

2	Jon Carnes has sole voting and dispositive power over the shares beneficially owned by Eos Holdings. The shares being offered by Eos Holdings represent 38,314 shares issuable upon exercise of $1.50 warrants and 44,486 shares issuable upon exercise of $2.07 warrants.

 

3

Peter Sirus and Leigh Curry have sole voting and dispositive power over the shares beneficially owned by Hua-Mei 21st Century Partners, LP. The shares being offered by Hua-Mei 21st Century Partners, LP represent 30,651 shares issuable upon exercise of $1.50 warrants and 35,499 shares issuable upon exercise of $2.07 warrants.

 

4

For purposes of determining the percentage of outstanding after completion of the offering, we are assuming that all of the 2,250,000 shares of common stock covered by this prospectus have been issued and are outstanding. The total number of shares which would be owned beneficially by Barron Partners after the offering if the 4.9% limitation were not applicable is 5,032,530, representing the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock and the warrants, which would represent beneficial ownership of 18.7% of our common stock.

 

Since neither EOS Holdings nor Hua-Mei 21^st Century Partners, LP owns a significant percentage of the stock, the 4.9% limitation only applies to Barron Partners. The 4.9% limitation relates to the percentage beneficial ownership that Barron Partners may own at any one time. The 4.9% limitation does not preclude serial exercises and sales. If Barron Partners exercises warrants to the extent of the 4.9% limitation, Barron Partners may sell those shares and exercise the warrants or convert shares of series A preferred stock to bring its beneficial ownership to 4.9%. 

Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, 2,833,333 shares of series A preferred stock, which are convertible into 944,445 shares of common stock, and 944,445 shares of common stock which are owned by our chief executive officer, Xiqun Yu, are held in escrow. If our pre-tax income for 2007 is less than $0.19941 per share, on a fully-diluted basis, all or a portion of the shares of series A preferred stock will be delivered to the investors and all or a portion of the shares placed in escrow with Mr. Yu will be returned to us and cancelled. None of the escrow shares are treated as being beneficially owned by any of the selling stockholders either prior to or upon completion of the offering. The following table sets forth the maximum number of the shares of series A preferred stock which may be transferred to each of the selling stockholders.

The notes provided for interest at 3% per annum. However, upon the conversion of the notes, we issued the stock and warrants based on the principal amount of the notes, and we did not make any adjustment for the interest.

 

The warrants have a term of five years, and expire in May 2012. The warrants provide a cashless exercise feature; however, the holders of the warrants may not make a cashless exercise during the twelve months following the date of the initial issuance and thereafter only if the underlying shares are covered by an effective registration statement.

 

The warrants provide that the exercise price of the warrants may be reduced by up to 50% if our pre-tax income per share of common stock, on a fully-diluted basis, is less than $0.19941. Pre tax-income is defined as income before income taxes determined in accordance with generally United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) plus (a) any charges relating to the transaction contemplated by the purchase agreement and the registration rights agreement, minus (b) the amount, if any, by which all non-recurring losses or expenses exceed all non-recurring items or income or gain. Pre-tax income shall not be adjusted if all non-recurring items of income or gain exceed all non-recurring losses or expenses. Items shall be deemed to be non-recurring only if they qualify as non-recurring pursuant to GAAP. For determining pre-tax income per share, all shares which are outstanding or which may be issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants and other convertible securities are deemed to be outstanding, regardless of whether the shares would be counted for purposes of computing diluted earnings per shares under GAAP. An adjustment in the warrant exercise price does not affect the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The following table sets forth the exercise price of the warrants if our pre-tax income is 20% below the threshold (a “20% shortfall”) and 50% or more below the threshold (a “50% shortfall”):

		$1.50 Warrant			$2.07 Warrant			$2.40 Warrant			$3.00 Warrant
		Exercise Price			Exercise Price			Exercise Price			Exercise Price
Unadjusted		$	1.50		$	2.07		$	2.40		$	3.00
20% shortfall		$	1.20		$	1.656		$	1.92		$	2.40
50% shortfall		$	0.75		$	1.035		$	1.20		$	1.50

 

The warrants also give us the right to call the warrants for $.01 per share of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants if the trading price per share of the common stock is not less than the greater of (a) $4.14 or 200% of the exercise price for the $2.07 warrants, (b) $4.14 or 276% of the exercise price for the $1.50 warrants; (c) $4.14 or 172.5% of the exercise price for the $2.40 warrants, and (d) $5.25 or 175% of the exercise price for the $1.00 warrants on each trading day in the 20 trading days ending on the date prior to the date on which the warrants are called for redemption provided that the trading volume on each day in the computation period is at least 1,000 shares.

 

In order for us to exercise the right of redemption, a registration statement covering the sale of the underlying shares must be current and effective. In the event that, at any time subsequent to the date on which the warrants are called for redemption, the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are not subject to a current and effective registration statement, our right to call the warrants for redemption shall terminate with respect to all warrants that have not then been exercised or converted prior to that date.

 

The securities purchase agreement, the certificate of designation for the series A preferred stock and the warrants provide that those securities may not be exercised or converted if such conversion or exercise would result in the holder and its affiliates having beneficial ownership of more than 4.9% of our outstanding common stock. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder. This limitation may not be waived.

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, in addition to the foregoing:

 

·

We amended our articles of incorporation to provide for a class of preferred stock and we created the series A preferred stock.

·

We placed 944,445 shares of common stock and Mr. Xiqun Yu, our chief executive officer and principal stockholder, placed in escrow 944,445 shares of common stock. We are to deliver to the escrow agent a certificate for 2,833,333 shares of series A preferred stock, upon receipt of which the escrow agent is to return to us for cancellation the 944,445 shares of common stock that we placed in escrow.

·

If our pre-tax income for 2007 is less than $0.19941 per share, on a fully-diluted basis, the percentage shortfall shall be determined by dividing the amount of the shortfall by the target number. If the percentage shortfall is equal to or greater than 33 1/3%, then the 944,445 shares of common stock (or the 2,833,333 shares of series A preferred stock after the exchange of the common stock for the series A preferred stock as described above) shall be delivered to the investors and the 944,445 shares of common stock placed in escrow by Mr. Yu shall be delivered to us for cancellation.

·

If the percentage shortfall is less than 33 1/3%, the escrow agent shall:

 

·

with respect to the shares placed in escrow by us, (i) deliver to the investors such number of shares of common stock as is determined by multiplying the percentage shortfall by 944,445 (or 2,833,333 shares of series A preferred stock after the exchange of the common stock for the preferred stock as described above), and (ii) deliver to the balance of such shares to us for cancellation, and

·

with respect to the shares placed in escrow by Mr. Yu, (i) deliver to us such number of shares of common stock as is determined by multiplying the percentage shortfall by 944,445 shares, and we shall cancel such shares, and (ii) deliver to Mr. Yu the balance of the 944,445 shares that were not transferred to us.

 

·

We agreed that, within 90 days after the closing, which was August 6, 2007, we would have appointed such number of independent directors that would result in a majority of our directors being independent directors and we would have an audit committee composed solely of at least three independent directors and a compensation committee would have a majority of independent directors. Thereafter, our failure to meet these requirements for a period of 60 days for an excused reason, as defined in the purchase agreement, or 75 days for a reason which is not an excused reason, would results in the imposition of liquidated damages which are payable in cash or additional shares of series A preferred stock. The liquidated damages are computed in an amount equal to 12% per annum of the principal amount of notes outstanding, up to a maximum of $408,000, which is payable in cash or stock, at the election of the investors. Our failure to comply with these requirements resulted in our payment of liquidated damages through the payment of $77,128 or the issuance of 208,456 shares of series A preferred stock as of October 15, 2007. The shares of series A preferred stock are convertible into 69,484 shares of common stock. The investors elected to take payment in stock, and we issued the shares in October 2007. The number of shares of series A preferred stock was based on the liquidation value of one share of series A preferred stock, which is $.37 per share. The investors have waived their right to receive any additional liquidated damages through December 31, 2007 with respect to our failure to comply with these provisions. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, as amended, the shares of series A preferred stock are valued at the liquidation value, which is $0.37 per share of series A preferred stock. Since the market price for our common stock on October 15, 2007 was $4.00 per share, the market value of the shares issued to the investors was approximately $277,944. If we are required to issue any additional shares of series A preferred stock pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, we are to issue the shares at the $0.37 per share liquidation value.

·

We and the investors entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which we were required to have this registration statement filed with the SEC by July 7, 2007 and declared effective by the SEC not later than November 5, 2007. We filed the registration statement on September 13, 2007. In November 2007, we entered into an agreement with the investors pursuant to which the registration rights agreement was amended to eliminate the liquidated damages for failure to file this registration statement when required and waived any additional liquidated damages that would be due as a result of our failure to have the registration statement declared effective by December 31, 2007.

 

19

---

 

Liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement are payable through the issuance of additional shares of series A preferred stock at the rate of 2,130 shares of series A preferred stock for each day, based on the proposed registration of all of the underlying shares of common stock, with a maximum of 900,000 shares. However, since, pursuant to the SEC’s rules relating to secondary offerings, we are not able to register all of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock or exercise of the warrants, the number of shares is reduced to a fraction of 2,130 shares, of which the numerator is the number of shares being registered (2,250,000) and the denominator is the number of shares issuable upon conversion of all of the series A preferred stock (3,063,063), which is 1,565 shares per day. If the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is not declared effective by December 31, 2007 we will be required to issue 1,565 shares of series A preferred stock for each day subsequent to December 31, 2007 that the registration statement is not effective.

 

·

The investors have a right of first refusal on future financings.

·

With certain limited exceptions, if we issue stock at a purchase price or warrants or convertible securities at an exercise or conversion price which is less than the conversion price of the series A preferred stock or the exercise price of the warrants, (a) the conversion price of the note and the series A preferred stock is reduced to the lower price and (b) exercise price will be reduced pursuant to a weighted average formula.

·

We are restricted from issuing convertible debt or preferred stock or from having debt in an amount greater than twice our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

·

Our officers and directors agreed, with certain limited exceptions, not to publicly sell shares of common stock for 27 months or such earlier date as all of the convertible securities and warrants have been converted or exercised and the underlying shares of common stock have been sold.

·

We paid Barron Partners $50,000 for its due diligence expenses.

 

In connection with the placement, we paid Brean Murray Carret & Co. a fee of $60,000 and issued to Brean Murray a warrant to purchase 83,333 shares of common stock at $2.25 per share, and paid cash fees of $48,000 to Huang Jun and $24,000 to Liu Zongbo.

The proceeds from the sale of the notes, after brokerage fees and closing costs was used to pay the principal and interest on bridge notes issued in September 2006 in the amount of $1,364,578 and for working capital. The warrants to purchase shares of common stock which were issued in connection with the bridge notes (of which there are currently 382,503 outstanding), were modified so that the warrants will terminate on September 29, 2010 and have an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The warrants give us the right to call the warrants for $.01 per share after September 29, 2008 if the average closing sales price of our common stock exceeds $4.14 per share during any period of 30 consecutive trading days. It was also agreed that there will be no piggy-back rights regarding the warrants in connection with the registration statement to be filed by us in connection with the notes issued pursuant to the purchase agreement and that the warrant holders will not exercise any demand registration rights until September 29, 2008; provided, however, the holders of the warrants shall not exercise any demand registration rights if (a) all of the underlying shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any subsequent successor rule or (b) such warrants have not been called for redemption.

 

Table 1 sets forth the dollar value of any payment made by us, including the value of any payments made in stock, in connection with May 2007 private placement, to any selling stockholder or any affiliate of any selling stockholder or any person which we know to have a contractual relationship with any selling stockholder.

(1)

The value of the series A preferred stock is based on the liquidation value of one share of series A preferred stock, which is $.37 per share. The value of such shares, based on the closing price of one share of common stock on November 26, 2007, would have been $329,360.

(2)

The series A preferred stock is based on a price of $1.58 per share since each shares of series A preferred stock is convertible into one-third share of common stock and the price of the common stock on November 26, 2007 was $4.74.

We received total proceeds of $3,400,000 from the sale of the notes. After deducting the due diligence payment of $50,000 to Barron Partners and the investment banking and finders fees in the amount of $132,000, the net cash proceeds were $3,218,000.

 

The closing price of our common stock on November 26, 2007 was $4.74 per share. If all of the 2,250,000 shares of common stock that the selling stockholders propose to sell pursuant to this prospectus were sold at that price, the selling stockholders would realize gross proceeds of approximately $10.7 million. Table 2 shows the potential profit from the sale of those shares if the shares could be sold at that price:

Gross proceeds		$	10,665,000
Exercise price of the warrants			4,238,190
Potential profit		$	6,426,810

 

In Table 2, no portion of the purchase price of the notes was allocated to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

 

Table 3 sets forth information relating to the total profit which the selling stockholders may realize from their sale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock and exercise of the warrants, based on the market price of our common stock on November 26, 2007 of $4.74 per share.

In Table 3:

 

·

The purchase price of the notes is being allocated to the shares issuable upon conversion of the series A preferred stock. The effective price per share for the shares issuable upon conversion of the shares of series A preferred stock is $1.11 per share. There is no cost associated with the shares issued for liquidated damages.

 

·

The number of shares issued as liquidated damages reflect those shares that were paid to the selling stockholders as of October 15, 2007, and is based on the assumption that the registration statement will be declared effective by December 31, 2007.

 

·

The maximum adjustment if earnings target is not met reflects (a) the value of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the maximum number of shares of series A preferred stock which may be delivered to the selling stockholders from escrow and (b) the increase in the discount resulting from the maximum reduction in the exercise price of the warrants.

 

·

The discount referred to in the table represents the potential profit to the selling stockholder based on the assumptions reflected in the table.

Table 4 sets forth information concerning the gross proceeds paid or payable to us, the net proceeds and the potential profit to the selling stockholders based on the closing price of our common stock on November 26, 2007 of $4.74 per share, and the ratio of the potential profit to the net proceeds to us.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

 

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased by approximately $6.7 million, or 116%, in 2007 to approximately $12.5 million as compared to approximately $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in revenue reflected increases of approximately $5.5 million from our on-line education line of business and approximately $1.2 million for our training center business line. Advertising income is included in our online education revenue. Advertising income increased as the result of the increased awareness of our website, which resulted in more viewers coming to our website, thus enabling us to increase our advertising income to $1.6 million, an increase of $392,388. During 2006 and 2007, we added several new programs for vocational studies and certification programs, which provided new sources of income for our online education business line.

Our overall cost of sales increased by approximately $813,000 to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to approximately $1.9 million from the comparative prior year period. The increase in cost of sales reflects a $620,000 increase in our cost of sales for our online education business line in 2007 while the remaining $193,000 of the increase was from our training center business line. The online training business line gross margin increased to 81.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 72.1% from the comparative prior year period due to the fact that online education costs are somewhat fixed and margins increase with volume. The online education business line gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 also reflects an increase in advertising revenue which has no substantial cost associated with it. Our training center business line gross margin increased to 66.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 51.9% from the comparative prior year period due to decreased payments to lecturers.

 

Selling expenses increased by approximately $2.9 million, or 634%, to approximately $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from approximately $465,000 from the comparative prior year period. Until the middle of 2006, we did not have a significant selling effort, which is reflected in the modest selling expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Our selling expenses include agency fees associated with increased sales of our debit cards.

Administrative expenses increased by $729,047, or 396%, to $913,073 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $184,026 from the comparative prior year period. The increase is due primarily to an increase in salaries due to the overall growth of our business and increases in travel and telephone expenses.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $252,052, or 282%, to $341,301 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $89,249 in the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This increase was due to depreciation and amortization associated with increases in fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets.

Interest expense was $542,173 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, which related to the bridge loan which was made in September 2006. There was no interest expense or debt in the comparative prior year period. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $34,339 as compared to September 30, 2006 which was $10,049, which related to earnings on cash balances.

Under current Chinese tax law, a wholly foreign owned enterprise has a 100% tax holiday for the first two years and a 50% tax holiday for the following three years. Since we became a wholly foreign owned enterprise in 2005, we benefited from a 100% tax holiday for 2005 and 2006 and, under the present law, we will benefit from a 50% tax holiday for 2007, 2008 and 2009. As a result, we paid no income tax in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and our income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 reflects income tax at 50% of the tax rate of 15%, which is subject to changes in tax rates implemented in 2007 that go into effect commencing January 1, 2008. These changes will have the effect of increasing the enterprise tax rate by 2% per year until it reaches and effective tax rate of 25%.

As a result of the foregoing, we had net income of $4,548,666, or $0.24 per share (basic and diluted), for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared with net income of $3,179,070, or $0.16 per share (basic and diluted), for the comparative prior year period.

 

Years Ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased by approximately $5.2 million, or 167%, to approximately $8.3 million from the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in revenue reflected increases of approximately $4.2 million from the online education division and approximately $1.0 million for the training center. Advertising revenue is included in our online education revenue. Advertising revenue increased as the result of the increased awareness of our website, which resulted in more viewers coming to our website, thus enabling us to increase our advertising revenue to $1.7 million, an increase of $1.4 million. During 2006, we added several new programs for vocational studies and certification programs, which provides new source of income for our online education business during the second half of 2006.

 

Our overall cost of sales increased by approximately $1.5 million to approximately $2.5 million in 2006, as compared to approximately $1.0 million in 2005. The increase in cost of sales reflects a approximately $1.0 million increase in our cost of sales for the online education division for 2006 while the remaining $500,000 of the increase was from the training center division. The online training division gross margin increased to 73.3% in 2006 from 70.0% in 2005 because online costs are somewhat fixed and margins increase with volume and the advertising revenue has no substantial cost associated with it. The training center division gross margin decreased to 53.2% in 2006 from 57.9% in 2005 due to decreased payments to lecturers.

 

Selling expenses increased by approximately $1.2 million, or 726%, to approximately $1.4 million in 2006 from approximately $170,000 in 2005. Until the middle of 2006, we did not have a significant selling effort, which is reflected in the modest selling expenses in 2005. Our selling expenses include agency fees associated with increased sales of our debit cards.

 

Administrative expenses increased by approximately $1.4 million, to approximately $1.5 million, from $113,000 in 2005. The increase is due primarily to an increase in salaries due to the overall growth of our business and increases in travel and telephone expenses.

 

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $10,000, from $134,000 to $124,000.

 

Interest expense was $147,000 in 2006, resulting from the bridge loan which was made in September 2006. We had modest interest income and no debt or interest in 2005.

 

Under current Chinese tax law, a wholly foreign owned enterprise has a 100% tax holiday for the first two years and a 50% tax holiday for the following three years. Since we became a wholly foreign owned enterprise in 2005, we benefited from a 100% tax holiday for 2005 and 2006. As a result, we paid no income tax in 2006 or 2005.

 

As a result of the foregoing, we had net income of approximately $2.6 million, or $.05 per share (basic and diluted), for 2006, as compared with net income of approximately $1.7 million, or $.03 per share (basic and diluted), for 2005.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

Our current assets primarily consist of cash and prepaid expenses. We do not have inventory or accounts receivable, and our other receivables are not significant. Our prepaid expenses are primarily advance payments made to teachers for on-line materials and prepaid rent.

 

At September 30, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $9.3 million, an increase of approximately $7.5 million, or 417%, from approximately $1.8 million at December 31, 2006. This increase reflected principally the net income generated by our business during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as well as an increase in advances by customers of approximately $1.5 million. In May 2007, we sold convertible notes in the principal amount of $3.4 million, from which we generated net proceeds of approximately $3.2 million. As of September 30, 2007, we used approximately $1.36 million to pay outstanding notes.

 

At September 30, 2007, we had working capital of approximately $4.8 million, an increase of approximately $3.8 million from working capital of approximately $1.0 million at December 31, 2006. Our May 2007 private placement of convertible notes provided us with additional working capital. We consider current working capital and borrowing capabilities adequate to cover our planned operating and capital requirements.

 

Accounts payable and accrued expenses at September 30, 2007, were approximately $454,000, an increase of approximately $243,000, or 115%, from approximately $211,000 at December 31, 2006, resulting from the increased level of business during the quarter.

 

Notes payable in the principal amount of $3.4 million at September 30, 2007 represent our convertible notes that were sold in our May 2007 private placement. On October 4, 2007, upon our filing of articles of amendment to our articles of incorporation, these notes were automatically converted in to 9,189,189 shares of series A preferred stock, which are convertible into 3.063,063 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase a total of 4,514,367 shares of our common stock at exercise prices of $1.50 (735,632 shares), $2.07 (2,833,333 shares), $2.40 (681,034 shares), $3.00 (264,367 shares). 

 

We believe that our working capital, together with our cash flow from operations will be sufficient to enable us to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months. However, we may incur additional expenses as we seek to expand our business to offer services in other parts of China as well as to market and continue the development of our vocational training activities, and it is possible that we may require additional funding for that purpose. Although we do not have any current plans to make any acquisitions, it is possible that we may seek to acquire one or more businesses in the education field, and we may require financing for that purpose. We cannot assure you that funding will be available if and when we require funding.

 

The securities purchase agreement for our May 2007 private placement prohibits us (i) from issuing convertible debt or preferred stock until the earlier of five years from the closing or until the investors have converted or exercised and sold the securities issued in the private placement or (ii) from having debt in an amount greater than twice our EBITDA until three years from the closing or until 90% of the securities have been converted or exercised and sold. The investors in the private placement also have a right of first refusal on future financings. These provisions may make it difficult for us to raise money for our operations or for acquisitions.

BUSINESS

 

General

 

We are an education service company that provides on-line education and on-site training in China. We were organized to meet what our founders believe is an unmet need for educational resources throughout China. Based on the Chinese government’s statistical yearbook for 2004, the government invests more than $60 billion on education each year. According to Chinese tradition, spending on education resources is one of the family’s major expenditures. However, just as economic development is not even throughout China, there is an uneven allocation of educational resources in China. In general, only those students who pass the numerous examinations which are given at various stages of the educational process, can obtain better educational opportunities at a higher level. We believe that the examination-oriented education has created a market for products from companies that address this need.

 

Our principal business is the distribution of educational resources through the Internet. Our website, www.edu-chn.com , is a comprehensive education network platform which is based on network video technology and large data sources of elementary education resources. We have a data base comprised of such resources as test papers that were used for secondary education and university level courses as well as video on demand. Our data base includes more than 300,000 exams and test papers and courseware for college, secondary and elementary schools. While some of these exams were given I previous years, we engage instructors to develop new exams and a methodology for taking the exams. We market this data base under the name “Famous Instructor Test Paper Store.” We also offer, though our website, video on demand, which includes tutoring of exam papers and exam techniques. We compliment the past exams and test papers by providing an interactive platform for students to understand the key points from the papers and exams. Although a number of the resources are available through our website without charge, we charge our subscribers for such services as the Famous Instructor Test Paper Store and the video on demand. Subscribers can purchase debit cards which can be used to download material from our website.

 

We also provide on-site teaching services in Harbin, which we market under the name “Classroom of Famed Instructors.” We have a 36,600 square foot training facility in Harbin, Heilonjiang Province, China, which has 17 classrooms and can accommodate 1,200 students. These classes, which complement our on-line education services, provide classroom and tutoring to our students. The courses cover primarily the compulsory education curriculum of junior, middle and high school. We charge tuition for these classes

 

We are introducing a program to of on-line vocational training services. We have collaborated with the China Vocation Education Society to set up a website, www.360ve.com , which is an Internet platform for training agencies and schools to offer their services. We launched www.360ve.com in September 2007. We are calling this program our “Millions of College Students Employment Crossroad” program. We offer job search capability and career planning courses for university students. We developed this program in response to the high jobless rate for China’s college graduates. Many college graduates pursue vocational training after college education in order to find employment. Our program is designed to establish a long-term training program for college students to build connections with corporations and obtain educational programs prescribed by the hiring corporations. We anticipate that we will constantly revise our materials to meet changes in the market as well as the demands of university students and graduates who enroll in our courses in order to meet their changing needs.

Organization

 

We were incorporated in North Carolina on December 2, 1996 under the name of ABC Realty Co. to engage in residential real estate transactions as a broker or agent. Following the September 2004 reverse acquisition described below, our corporate name was changed to China Education Alliance, Inc. At the time of the reverse acquisition, we were not engaged in any business activity and we were considered to be a blank-check shell.

 

On September 15, 2004, we entered into an agreement pursuant to which:

 

·

the stockholders of Harbin Zhong He Li Da, a Chinese corporation, transferred all of the stock of Harbin Zhong He Li Da to us and we issued to those stockholders a total of 18,333,333 share of common stock, representing 95% of our outstanding common stock after giving effect to the transaction.

 

·

Duane Bennett, who was then our chairman of the board and controlling shareholder, caused 3,666,667 shares of common stock that were controlled by him to be transferred to us for cancellation, for which Harbin Zhong He Li Da or its stockholders paid $400,000, of which $300,000 was paid in cash and the balance was paid by a promissory note, which has been paid.

 

·

We changed our corporate name to China Education Alliance, Inc. on November 17, 2004.

 

 

Our executive offices are located at 58 Heng Shan Road, Kun Lun Shopping Mall Harbin, People’s Republic of China 150090, telephone number 86-451-8233-5794.

 

Education Systems in China

 

Since 1949 when the People’s Republic of China was founded, the government in China has considered education an important component of its economic and social development.  Recently, with the emergence of its market economy, education has become a priority in China.

 

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China for 2003, the gross domestic product of the country was calculated at $1.41 trillion, with an annual real rate of GDP growth at 9.1%.  The average Chinese family sets aside 10% of its savings for education according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization.  We believe that many parents are willing to invest in their children for better and higher education because it is critical for their future opportunities and advancement.  The educational system in China is under pressure to reform and develop.  On March 14, 2004, the second session of the 10th National’s People’s Congress concluded that China advocates “putting people first” as its development model. The Chinese government sets education as a strategic priority in the China Agenda for Education.

 

The central government in China, through the Ministry of Education, manages education in China at a macro level, responsible for carrying out related laws, regulations, guidelines and policies of the central government; planning development of the education sector; integrating and coordinating educational initiatives and programs nationwide; maneuvering and guiding education reform countrywide.  To a large degree, the provincial governments are left to implement basic education through development of teaching plans to supplement the required coursework from the central Ministry of Education and the funding of basic education in poorer areas.  Provincial level governments have the main responsibilities for implementing basic education on a day to day basis. Since 1978, the government in China has promulgated a number of administrative regulations relating to education.

 

Education is funded by a variety of sources: schools directly controlled by the central government are generally funded from the central financial pool; schools controlled by local governments are supported by local governments, the central government and fund raising projects initiated by these schools themselves; schools sponsored by township and village governments and by public institutions are mainly financed by the sponsor institutions and subsidized by local governments; private schools are funded by sponsors (including collecting tuition from students and soliciting contributions).

In China, primary and secondary education takes 12 years to complete.  Primary education generally is six years, junior middle school is three years, and senior middle school is three years. Children generally begin primary school at the age of six.  In 1986, China passed the Compulsory Education Law, which dictates that nine years of compulsory education (grades 1 through 9) is to become mandatory and requires that provincial and local governments take the necessary steps to ensure that all students receive at least the required nine years of education. The goal of the Compulsory Education Law, as well as the subsequent guidelines, was to universalize compulsory education and to eliminate illiteracy among the Chinese people. According to the Bulletin of Statistics on National Educational Development in 1999 issued by the Ministry of Education, the nine-year compulsory education has covered 80% of China’s population since its inception.  In 2002, China began to aggressively incorporate English into its elementary school curriculum.  

 

On March 3, 2004, the State Council approved and disseminated the 2003-2007 Action Plan for Invigorating Education in the 21st Century, which was formulated by the Ministry of Education.  The plan recognizes the need to make China competitive in the world economy and provides a blueprint to speed up educational reform and development in China.  The plan is based on two fundamental concepts to “Rejuvenating China through Science and Education” and “Reinvigorating China through Human Resource Development.”  The objectives of the plan are to establish a well-to-do society and perfect the socialistic market economy in China.  The plan has goals to consolidate and universalize the nine-year compulsory education program and eradicate illiteracy, to continue educational reforms, to improve the quality of education and to provide a system designed to enable the public to have access to quality education. The plan emphasizes the use of information technology in education and training.

 

Since 2000, the Chinese government has been implementing reform in educational policy to change the orientation of the education system from one based on memory learning to a more individualized creative approach.  

 

On-line Education

 

Our core business is the exam-oriented education in junior, middle, and high school. We believe that our on-line education programs are in line with the government policy of using information technology to make educational resources available throughout the country. The reforms in education policy has created a demand for new curriculum, updated educational materials and educational resources.  Our portal enables our customers to access the new curriculum created by various levels of government and leading academic experts, which are endorsed by the Ministry of Education. Our courses have the necessary certification or registration with the Ministry of Education.

 

Our website makes use of its Internet network resources beyond the traditional teaching methods and face-to-face constraints by providing students with access to multi-media resources such as college, middle school and elementary school test papers, courseware designed to prepare students for taking the exams, and video on demand courseware. We market our website as a platform to offer services like “Famed Instructors Test Paper Store” by offering prepaid rechargeable learning debit cards that can be to purchase our products. The learners can materials downloaded for off-line education or study the material on-line.

 

We believe that through our website, we can help change the uneven distribution of education resources since our material is designed for nationwide exams and, though the Internet, students can have access to our material nationwide. We sell our exam papers, test papers, and video on demand through our website www.edu-chn.com. We offer both exams that were previously given as well as copyrighted exams that were developed by teachers who we hire for that purpose. These examinations cover Chinese primary, middle and upper school exams which are used by students who are primarily in age range of seven to 18.

We have developed some educational software and we own a database covering all levels of basic education from primary school through high school. Our plans for expansion of our business operations include the following:

·

Buildup the infrastructure to ensure fast access and to satisfy the volume that would develop with increasing demand.

·

Develop a nation-wide advertising campaign to increase market awareness of our products.

·

Engage or employ a staff to enhance the material that we offer.

·

Open branch offices in key cities. Even though our website is accessible from anywhere in China, course materials are not standardized throughout China, and there are many differences in both the course material and the resources among the different regions in China. As a result, we believe that we can best serve the students in a region by using our branch offices to employ local teachers who understand the local educational system. In this manner, we can customize our course material to meet the local educational requirements and develop face-to-face tutorial centers to further expand our revenue.

 

Training Center

 

We provide on-site teaching services under the “Big Classroom of the Famed Instructors,” our state-of-the-art training center in Harbin. At this center, we offer both classroom training and one-on-one tutoring. The training center has approximately 36,600 square feet, with 17 modern classrooms and a capacity for 1,200 students. The courses cover each phase of compulsory education, of which junior, middle and high school as the key part. Our courses are complimentary type with regular school classes, and will vary depending on the age of the students as well as the progress of the class. Class subjects include math, physics, chemistry, English, Chinese. We charge students for each class taken. Thus, we determine our enrollment by the number of classes that were taken during a given period of time, and not by the number of individual students. Since the term of the classes vary, we do not schedule classes on a semester basis.

 

Vocational Training

 

We are introducing a program to of on-line vocational training services. We have collaborated with the China Vocation Education Society to set up a website, www.360ve.com, which is an Internet platform for training agencies and schools to offer their services. We launched www.360ve.com in September 2007. We are calling this program our “Millions of College Students Employment Crossroad” program. We offer job search capability and career planning courses for university students. We developed this program in response to the high jobless rate for China’s college graduates. Our program is designed to establish a long-term training program for college students to build connections with corporations and obtain educational programs prescribed by the hiring corporations. We anticipate that we will constantly revise our materials to meet changes in the market as well as the demands of university students and graduates who enroll in our courses in order to meet their changing needs.

 

Through our “Millions of College Students Employment Crossroad” program, we seek to address two problems - one of the need for the university students to find jobs and the other is to satisfy the needs of businesses to hire qualified candidates. We cooperate with business and other entities to enable us to communicate to the students who enroll in this program the companies’ requirements, including the necessary skills, so that the students can learn the needs of the businesses which they are at school and can develop educational programs in the universities to enable them to meet the educational requirements of the businesses at which they may seek employment after college and to improve their job search activities.

The China Vocational Education Society has a large number of institutional members, including provincial education bureaus and more than 1,000 vocational training schools across China. We intend to expand our strategic cooperation with training agencies, especially in the aspects of joint enrollment, the exchange of resources and on-site training agencies facilities.

 

In this program we work with the China Vocational Education Society, which certifies vocational certification, and coordinate our programs with the government agencies, including the education and labor ministries, to develop and evaluate programs for vocational education. We have been authorized to provide on-line vocational education and to administer the certification process for certain vocations. However, we are not yet offering theses services.

 

During December 2006, we acquired all of the fixed assets and franchise rights of Harbin Nangang Compass Computer Training School for approximately $1 million. The Nangang Compass Computer Training School provided classroom education resources to computer vocational school students. As a result of this acquisition, we became the exclusive partner of Beida Qingniao APTEC Software Engineering within Heilongjiang Province in China for vocational training. The acquisition included materials and resources to provide on-site education classes and patented course materials. The Nangang Compass Computer Training School currently has two principal education programs focused on network engineering and ACCP software engineering with 9 on-site classrooms and 9 multimedia/computer classrooms at two centers.

 

Marketing

 

We employ sales persons who market our products to the Ministry of Education and the provincial education commissions.  Although the government agencies do not purchase our product, we need to obtain their approval of the use of our programs for use in connection with the curriculum taught in the schools under their jurisdiction.  We also use these marketing calls to generate information to assist us in developing new educational products and opportunities.  Our sales force is also actively involved with educators in developing curriculums based on the products we produce.

 

We intend to use our web-based educational portal to assist us in marketing our educational products. This portal provides data and other materials free of charge and also provides users with the ability to download our products at a charge.

 

We also market our Training Center and Vocational products by way of the following methods: (A) directly at conferences and events where we invite teachers, students and their families to learn about our education materials; (B) through various internet links and search engines; (C) by traditional media advertising, such as TV and newspaper advertisements; and (D) through fliers and as gifts handed out to students in front of high schools and other major education institutions. We are also able to attract users by word of mouth and referrals from current students or users.

The following summary of certain provisions of our common stock, preferred stock, articles of incorporation and by-laws is not intended to be complete. It is qualified by reference to the provisions of our articles of incorporation and by-laws.

 

Common Stock

 

Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends as may be declared by our board of directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock. Pursuant to the certificate of designation relating to the series A preferred stock, we are prohibited from paying dividends on our common stock while the preferred stock is outstanding. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive proportionately our net assets available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our articles of incorporation give our board of directors the power to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. Our board of directors has the discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock. The purpose of authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Except for the series A preferred stock, we have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock. Our articles of incorporation include a provision which states that any rights, options and warrants may provide that any or all of such terms and conditions may not be waived or amended or may be waived or amended only with the consent of the holders of a designated percentage of a designated class or classes of our capital stock (or a designated group or groups of holders within such class or classes, including but not limited to disinterested holders), and the applicable terms and conditions of any such rights, options or warrants so conditioned may not be waived or amended or may not be waived or amended absent such consent. This relates to the terms of the warrants that provide that the 4.9% limitation on the number of shares of common stock that a warrant holder may beneficially own may not be amended.

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

The certificate of designation for the series A preferred stock provides that:

·

Each share of series A preferred stock is initially convertible into one third of a share of common stock, subject to adjustment.

·

If we issue common stock at a price, or options, warrants or other convertible securities with a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price (presently $1.11 per share), with certain specified exceptions, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of one share of series A preferred stock is adjusted to reflect a conversion price equal to the lower price.

 

44

---

  

·

No dividends are payable with respect to the series A preferred stock, and while the series A preferred stock is outstanding, we may not pay dividends on or redeem shares of common stock.

·

Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of the series A preferred stock are entitled to a preference of $.37 per share before any distributions or payments may be made with respect to the common stock or any other class or series of capital stock which is junior to the series A preferred stock upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

·

The holders of the series A preferred stock have no voting rights. However, so long as any shares of series A preferred stock are outstanding, we shall not, without the affirmative approval of the holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of series A preferred stock then outstanding, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the series A preferred stock or alter or amend the certificate of designation, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation senior to or otherwise pari passu with the series A preferred stock, or any of preferred stock possessing greater voting rights or the right to convert at a more favorable price than the series A preferred stock, (c) amend our articles of incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of the provisions thereof, (d) increase the authorized number of shares of series A preferred stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.

·

The holders of the series A preferred stock may not convert the series A preferred stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the holders owning more than 4.9% of our outstanding common stock. This limitation may not be amended or waived; provided, that the limitation does not supply with respect to a change of control. The shares of series A preferred stock are automatically converted upon a change of control, as defined in the certificate of designation.

 

Warrants and Options

 

As of November 30, 2007, there were no outstanding warrants or options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company other than the warrants held by the selling stockholders, as described under “Selling Stockholders” and the other warrants described below.

On September 29, 2006, we raised gross proceeds of $1,530,000 from the issuance and sale of $1,530,000 aggregate principal amount of secured promissory notes and warrants to purchase 510,003 shares of our common stock for an as adjusted exercise price per share of $1.50. As of December 6, 2007, warrants to purchase 382,503 shares were outstanding.

In connection with the May 2007 private placement, we issued Brean Murray a three-year warrant to purchase 83,333 shares of common stock at $2.25 per share.

 

North Carolina Corporate Law

 

We are a North Carolina corporation, and may become subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the North Carolina Control Share Act (Section 55-9A-01). In general, North Carolina Law prevents take-over offers to acquire equity securities of a North Carolina corporation. The North Carolina Shareholder Protection Act, for example, requires an affirmative vote of the holders of ninety-five percent (95%) of the voting shares of a North Carolina corporation to adopt or authorize a business combination with any other entity if the other entity is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than twenty percent (20%) of the voting shares of the corporation, subject to certain exceptions. The existence of this and other provisions would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect, including attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.

 

Penny-Stock Rules

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions, and is not listed on the a registered stock exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market (although the $5.00 per share requirement may apply to Nasdaq listed securities) or has net tangible assets in excess of $2,000,000, if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years, or $5,000,000, if the issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years; or has average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years.

45

---

Although we do not believe that we are subject to the penny-stock rules, it is possible that in the future our common stock may be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect your ability to sell our securities in the secondary market and the price at which you can sell our common stock.

 

According to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

·

Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

·

Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

·

“Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;

·

Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

·

The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

 

Purchasers of penny stocks may have certain legal remedies available to them in the event the obligations of the broker-dealer from whom the penny stock was purchased violates or fails to comply with the above obligations or in the event that other state or federal securities laws are violated in connection with the purchase and sale of such securities. Such rights include the right to rescind the purchase of such securities and recover the purchase price paid for them.

 

Because our stock may be a “penny stock” we may not have the safe harbor protection under federal securities laws with respect to forward-looking statement.

China Education Alliance, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.	Description of Business

Nature of organization - China Education Alliance, Inc. (the “Company” or “CEDA”), formerly known as ABC Realty Co., was originally organized under the laws of the State of North Carolina on December 2, 1996. ABC Realty Co.’s primary purpose was to act as a broker or agent in residential real estate transactions. On September 15, 2004, ABC Realty was reorganized pursuant to the Plan of Exchange to acquire Harbin Zhong He Li Da Education Technology, Inc. (“ZHLD”), a corporation formed on August 9, 2004 in the City of Harbin of Heilongjiang Province, People’s Republic of China (or, the "PRC"), with an authorized capital of $60,386 (RMB500,000).

On September 15, 2004, ABC Realty Co. executed a Plan of Exchange with ZHLD, the shareholders of ZHLD and Duane C. Bennett, the former Chairman of ABC Realty Co., pursuant to which the shareholders of ZHLD exchanged all of their registered capital of $60,386 for 18,333,333 shares of common stock of the Company, or approximately 95% of the Company’s common stock. On November 17, 2004, ABC Realty Co. changed its name to China Education Alliance, Inc. On December 13, 2004, China Education Alliance, Inc. consummated the Plan of Exchange with ZHLD and ZHLD's shareholders. As a result of the Plan of Exchange, the transaction was treated for accounting purposes as a recapitalization of ZHLD.

ZHLD is a technology company engaged in the online education industry in China. Its mission is to promote distance learning development in China, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of elementary education, higher education, vocational education, skill education, continuing education, and professional training programs, and to integrate with the international education system.

Heilongjiang Zhonghe Education Training Center (“ZHTC”) was registered in the PRC on July 8, 2005 with a registered capital of $60,386 and is the wholly owned subsidiary of ZHLD. ZHLD owns 99% of ZHTC with 1% held in trust by Xi Qun Yu for the benefit of China Education Alliance, Inc.

ZHLD also owns 70% of Beijing Hua Yu Hui Zhong Technology Development Co., Ltd (“BHYHZ”). BHYHZ was formed on September 30, 2006 in the PRC. The remaining 30% interest was given to The Vocational Education Guidance Center of China for no consideration. The 30% interest in BHYHZ that the Company transferred to The Vocational Education Guidance Center of China for no consideration was treated as goodwill.

The Company’s online education business has established supplemental education and test preparation material for grades kindergarten through high school.

2.	Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Rule 310 of Regulation S-B and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), but do not include all of the information and disclosures required for audited financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006. In the opinion of management, these interim statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.

 

The accompanying financial statements differ from the financial statements used for statutory purposes in PRC in that they reflect certain adjustments, recorded on the entities’ books, which are appropriate to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with GAAP. The principal adjustments are related to revenue recognition, foreign currency translation, deferred taxation, consolidation, and depreciation and valuation of property and equipment and intangible assets.

These notes and accompanying financial statements retroactively reflect a reverse split that became effective October 12, 2007, see note 18 below. Fractional shares were rounded up resulting in the issuance of 216 shares in excess of the actual conversion rate of 1-to-3.

3.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries, ZHLD, ZHTC and BHYHZ. All inter-company transactions and balances were eliminated. Minority interest in the net assets and earnings or losses of BHYHZ are reflected in the caption “Minority interest” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statements of Operations. Cumulative losses applicable to minority interest that exceed the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s capital, the losses in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiaries capital are charged against the majority interest. Subsequent profits earned by a subsidiary under such circumstances that are applicable to the minority interests should be allocated to the majority interest to the extent minority losses have been previously absorbed.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods.

F-6

---

 

Significant estimates included values and lives assigned to acquired intangible assets, reserves for customer returns and allowances, uncollectible accounts receivable, slow moving, obsolete and/or damaged inventory and stock warrant valuation. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity period of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is held in bank accounts in the PRC and is not protected by FDIC insurance or any other similar insurance.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at the historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets after taking into account a 5% residual value for both financial and income tax reporting purposes as follows:

 

Buildings			20 years
Communication Equipment			10 years
Motor Vehicles			5 years
Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment			5 years

 

Expenditures for renewals and betterments were capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.

Upon sale or disposal of an asset, the historical cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of such asset were removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the Statements of Operations.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. Based on this assessment there was no impairment at September 30, 2007.

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets consist of franchise rights acquired by the Company and are amortized over the lives of the rights agreements, which is five years. The Company evaluates the carrying value of intangible assets during the fourth quarter of each year and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the intangible asset below its carrying amount. There were no impairments recorded during the year ended December 31, 2006 or the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

 

Foreign Currency - The Company’s principal country of operations is the PRC. The financial position and results of operations of the Company are recorded in RMB as the functional currency. The results of operations denominated in foreign currency are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the market rate of exchange ruling at that date. The registered equity capital denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution. All translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements into the reporting currency (“U.S. Dollars”) are dealt with as a separate component within shareholders’ equity.

Income Recognition - Revenue is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which states that revenue should be recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the service has been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company believes that these criteria are satisfied when customers download prepaid study materials.

 

F-7

---

 

Prepaid debit cards allow the Company’s subscribers to purchase a predetermined monetary amount of download materials posted on its website. The Company tracks usage of the debit card and records revenue when the debit card is used.

At the time that the prepaid debit card is purchased, the receipt of cash is recorded as deferred revenue. Revenues are recognized in the month when the card is used. Unused value relating to debit cards is recognized as revenues when the prepaid debit card has expired.

Interest income is recognized when earned, taking into account the average principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.

Prepayments Account - Prepaid expenses are primarily comprised of advance payments made for services to teachers for online materials and videos and prepaid rent. At September 30, 2007, prepaid but not yet aired television advertising totaled $424,093, prepayments to teachers for online materials totaled $424,943, prepayment of rent expense totaled $150,077, and other prepaid expenses were $165,616.

Goodwill - In connection with the organization of BHYHZ, the Company transferred to an unrelated non-profit, quasi-governmental entity for no consideration a 30% ownership interest in the contributed capital of BHYHZ. The value of the transferred ownership is reflected as goodwill on the consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 2007, goodwill relating to this transaction was $43,696. The minority ownership interest share of operating losses of BHYHZ is being absorbed by the Company as the minority interest holdings have no basis in their investment. The minority losses absorbed by the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $77,122 and $124,297, respectively.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows, approach and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair values. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value. The Company’s evaluation of goodwill completed during the year resulted in no impairment losses.

 

Deferred Revenue - Deferred revenue reflects the unearned portion of debit cards sold and tuition payments received.

Advertising - The Company expensed advertising costs for television spots at the time they were aired and for all other advertising the first time the respective advertising took place. These costs were included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The total advertising expenses incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were $567,297 and $3,079, respectively. The total advertising expenses incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were $760,708 and $28,059, respectively.

Taxation - Taxation on profits earned in the PRC has been calculated on the estimated assessable profits for the year at the rates of taxation prevailing in the PRC after taking into effect the benefits from any special tax credits or “tax holidays” allowed there.

The Company does not accrue United States income tax on unremitted earnings from foreign operations as it is the Company’s intention to invest these earnings in the foreign operations indefinitely.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 is intended to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and prescribes the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Under FIN 48, evaluation of a tax position is a two step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is to measure the tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that it will be realized upon ultimate settlement.

The tax position that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met.

The adoption of FIN 48 by the Company on January 1, 2007 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position.

 

Enterprise income tax

Under the Provisional Regulations of The People’s Republic of China Concerning Income Tax on Enterprises promulgated by the State Council which came into effect on January 1, 1994, income tax is payable by a “Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises” at a rate of 15% of its taxable income. Preferential tax treatment may, however, be granted pursuant to any law or regulation from time to time promulgated by the State Council. ZHLD enjoyed a 100% exemption from enterprise income taxes during 2006 due to its classification as a “Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise.” This exemption ended on December 31, 2006, at which time ZHLD qualified under the current tax structure for a 50% reduction in the statutory enterprise income tax rates for the following three years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Value added tax

The Provisional Regulations of The People’s Republic of China Concerning Value Added Tax promulgated by the State Council came into effect on January 1, 1994. Under these regulations and the Implementing Rules of the Provisional Regulations of the People's Republic of China Concerning Value Added Tax, value added tax is imposed on goods sold in or imported into the PRC and on processing, repair and replacement services provided within the PRC.

Value added tax payable in the PRC is charged on an aggregated basis at a rate of 13% or 17% (depending on the type of goods involved) on the full price collected for the goods sold or, in the case of taxable services provided, at a rate of 17% on the charges for the taxable services provided, but excluding, in respect of both goods and services, any amount paid in respect of value added tax included in the price or charges, and less any deductible value added tax already paid by the taxpayer on purchases of goods and services in the same financial year.

Software companies are eligible for a 14% VAT tax refund under PRC tax policy. The Company applied for and received VAT refunds of $56,427 and $298,650 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. These refunds were included in other income on the financial statements at September 30, 2007.

Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets - A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the company. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognized because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.

A contingent liability is not recognized but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, they will then be recognized as a provision.

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Company.

Contingent assets are not recognized but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when the receipt of payment is probable. When the receipt of payment is virtually certain, an asset is recognized.

Related Companies - A related company is a company in which a director or an officer has beneficial interests in and in which the Company has significant influence.

Retirement Benefit Costs - According to the PRC’s regulations on pensions, the Company contributes to a defined contribution retirement program organized by the municipal government in the province in which the Company was registered and all qualified employees are eligible to participate in the program. Contributions to the program are calculated at 23.5% of the employees’ salaries above a fixed threshold amount and the employees contribute 2% to 8% while the Company contributes the balance contribution of 21.5% to 15.5%. The Company has no other material obligations for the payment of retirement benefits beyond the annual contributions under this program. Contributions to the pension fund for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were $10,531 and $993, respectively, and contributions to the pension fund for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were $42,734 and $2,916, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, commercial notes receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, commercial notes payable, accrued expenses, and other payables approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2007 because of the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 became effective on January 1, 2007. Implementation of FIN 48 became no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”). Due to diversity in practice among registrants, SAB 108 expresses SEC staff views regarding the process by which misstatements in financial statements are evaluated for purposes of determining whether financial statement restatement is necessary. SAB 108 became effective on January 1, 2007. The Company does not believe SAB 108 will have a material impact on its results from operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The provisions of this statement are to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this statement is initially applied, with any transition adjustment recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Therefore, the Company anticipates adopting this standard as of January 1, 2008. Management has not determined the effect, if any, the adoption of this statement will have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158,“Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“SFAS No. 158”), an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). SFAS No. 158 requires (a) recognition of the funded status (measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation) of a benefit plan as an asset or liability in the employer’s statement of financial position, (b) measurement of the funded status as of the employer’s fiscal year-end with limited exceptions, and (c) recognition of changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure the plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. This Statement has no current applicability to the Company’s financial statements. Management adopted this Statement on January 1, 2007, and the adoption of SFAS No. 158 did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.  

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159). This statement permits companies to choose to measure many financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159 on its consolidated financial statements.

4.	Concentrations of Business and Credit Risk

Substantially all of the Company’s bank accounts are in banks located in the PRC and are not covered by any type of protection similar to that provided by the FDIC on funds held in U.S banks.

F-10

---

 

The Company is operating in China, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between U.S. Dollars and the RMB.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade receivables, the balances of which are stated on the balance sheet. The Company places its cash in high credit quality financial institutions; however, such funds are not insured. The Company sells its products to students who purchase debit cards which can be used to download the Company’s products. Since the Company is paid in advance, it has no receivables and no significant credit risk.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of revenues.

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had no insurance coverage of any kind. Accrual for losses is not recognized until such time as an uninsured loss has occurred.

 

5.	Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of September 30, 2007, Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of the following:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash on Hand		$	1,109
Bank Deposits			9,281,966
Total Cash and Cash Equivalents		$	9,283,075

 

6.	Property and Equipment

As of September 30, 2007, Property and Equipment consist of the following:

Property and Equipment
Buildings		$	3,342,667
Transportation vehicles			174,944
Communication equipment and software			3,228,061
Furniture and fixtures			1,239,623
Total Property and Equipment			7,985,295
Less: Accumulated Depreciation			(1,075,866	)
Property and Equipment, Net		$	6,909,429

For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, depreciation expenses totaled $145,065 and $79,016, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, depreciation expenses totaled $453,249 and $157,493, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, depreciation expenses totaling $49,901 and $5,432, respectively, were included in cost of goods sold, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, depreciation expenses totaling $144,908 and $21,128, respectively, were included in costs of goods sold.

As of September 30, 2007, the Company does not have any land use rights agreements with the PRC for the office buildings owned by the Company.

7.

Goodwill

The Company, through its subsidiary ZHLD, owns 70% of BHYHZ. At the time of the formation of BHYHZ, the Company transferred a 30% interest in the initial capital of BHYHZ to a nonaffiliated government entity. The value of this interest at the time of the transfer has been reflected as $43,696 of goodwill at September 30, 2007.

8.	Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue includes subscriber prepayments and education fee prepayments. Subscriber prepayments represent deferred revenue for the purchase of debit cards used to pay for the online downloading of education materials. The Company recognizes revenue when the card is used to download material. Therefore, during the period between the purchase and use of debit cards, the unused portion of the debit card is treated as deferred revenue to the Company. Education fee prepayments represent payments for tuition for the Company’s training schools, which is amortized over the term of the course. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had deferred revenue of $1,782,499.

9.	Notes Payable

On September 29, 2006, the Company raised gross proceeds of $1,530,000 from the issuance and sale of $1,530,000 aggregate principal amount of secured promissory notes and warrants to purchase 510,003 shares of common stock of the Company for an as adjusted exercise price per share of $1.50. The notes, which bear interest at 6% per annum, had a maturity date of March 29, 2007. The notes have been paid in full.

 

The warrants issued were valued at $203,908 and were treated as a loan discount. The discount was amortized to interest expense over the life of the notes payable. At September 30, 2007, the discount had been fully amortized.

 

On May 8, 2007, the Company raised, in two installments, a total of $3,400,000 through the issuance of convertible debt in the aggregate principal amount of $3,400,000. A portion of these proceeds was used to pay the bridge note financing described above. In connection with the issuance, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to create a class of preferred stock. The board and stockholders also approved the terms of a new series of preferred stock to be designated as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock upon the filing of the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.

 

On October 4, 2007, these notes were convertible into an aggregate of (i) 9,189,189 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which are convertible into an aggregate of 3,063,063 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment, and (ii) five-year common stock purchase warrants to purchase 735,632 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share, 2,833,333 shares of common stock at $2.07 per share, 681,034 shares of common stock at $2.40 per share, and 264,368 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share.

The warrants were valued at $339,076 and were treated as loan discounts and amortized immediately to expense in the second quarter of 2007.

The notes provided for interest at 3% per annum. However, upon the conversion of the notes, the Company issued stock and warrants based on the principal amount of the notes. There was no adjustment for the interest. Payment of the notes was subordinated to payment of senior indebtedness, which is defined as indebtedness and obligations to banks, insurance companies and other institutional lenders.

Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, the Company placed in escrow 944,445 shares of common stock and Mr. Xiqun Yu, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and principal shareholder, placed in escrow 944,445 shares of common stock. As soon as possible after the filing of the Articles of Amendment and the Certificate of Designation, the Company will issue a certificate for 2,833,333 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for the certificate for 944,445 shares of common stock, and the Company shall cancel the certificate representing the shares of common stock initially placed in escrow by the Company. The securities placed in escrow shall be released based on the formula described below.

If the Company’s pre-tax income for 2007 is less than $0.19941 per share, on a fully-diluted basis (the “Target Number”), the percentage shortfall shall be determined by dividing the amount of the shortfall by the Target Number. If the percentage shortfall is equal to or greater than 33 1/3%, then, with respect to the Company’s escrow shares, the 944,445 shares of common stock (or the 2,833,333 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock upon the exchange of the common stock for the preferred stock as described above) shall be delivered to the investors and, with respect to Mr. Yu’s escrow shares, the 944,445 shares of common stock shall be delivered to the Company for cancellation. If the percentage shortfall is less than 33 1/3%, the escrow agent shall:

§

(i) with respect to the Company’s escrow shares, deliver to the investors such number of shares of common stock as is determined by multiplying the percentage shortfall by 944,445 shares (or 2,833,333 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock upon the exchange of the common stock for the preferred stock as described above), and (ii) deliver to the Company the balance of such shares for cancellation; and

 

§	(i) with respect to the shares placed in escrow by Mr. Yu, deliver to the Company such number of shares of common stock as is determined by multiplying the percentage shortfall by 944,445 shares, and the Company shall cancel such shares, and (ii) deliver to Mr. Yu the balance of such shares.

 

The warrants have a term of five years, and expire in May 2012. The warrants provide a cashless exercise feature; however, the holders of the warrants may not make a cashless exercise during the twelve months following the date of issuance and thereafter only if the sale by the holder of the underlying shares is covered by an effective registration statement.

The warrants provide that the exercise price of the warrants may be reduced by up to 50% if the Company’s pre-tax income per share of common stock, on a fully-diluted basis, is less than $0.19941. Pre tax-income is defined as income before income taxes determined in accordance with GAAP plus (a) any charges relating to the transaction contemplated by the securities purchase agreement and the registration rights agreement, minus (b) the amount, if any, by which all non-recurring losses or expenses exceed all non-recurring items of income or gain. Pre-tax income shall not be adjusted if all non-recurring items of income or gain exceed all non-recurring losses or expenses. Items shall be deemed to be non-recurring only if they qualify as non-recurring pursuant to GAAP. For determining pre-tax income per share, all shares which are outstanding or which may be issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants and other convertible securities are deemed to be outstanding, regardless of whether the shares would be counted for purposes of computing diluted earnings per shares under GAAP. An adjustment in the warrant exercise price does not affect the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

The securities purchase agreement also obligated the Company, within 90 days after the closing, which was August 6, 2007, to appoint such number of independent directors as would result in a majority of its directors being independent directors and to establish an audit committee composed solely of independent directors and a compensation committee comprised of a majority of independent directors. Thereafter, the Company’s failure to meet these requirements for a period of 60 days for an excused reason, as defined in the purchase agreement, or 75 days for a reason which is not an excused reason, would result in the imposition of liquidated damages which are payable in cash or additional shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The liquidated damages are computed in an amount equal to 12% per annum of the principal amount of notes outstanding, up to a maximum of $408,000, which is payable in cash or stock, at the election of the investors. The Company’s failure to comply with these requirements resulted in its payment of liquidated damages through the payment of $77,128 or the issuance of 208,456 shares of series A Convertible Preferred Stock as of October 15, 2007. The investors elected to take payment in stock, and the Company issued the shares in October 2007.

The Company and the investors entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company initially agreed to file, by July 7, 2007, a registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon conversion of notes and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of the warrants. The Company was also required to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC not later than November 5, 2007. The registration rights agreement was amended to eliminate liquidated damages for failure to file the registration statement when required and to waive any liquidated damages due as a result of the Company’s failure to have the registration statement declared effective through December 31, 2007. The registration rights agreement also provides for additional demand registration rights in the event that the investors are not able to register all of the shares in the initial registration statement. The agreement provides that the liquidated damages are a maximum of 2,130 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock per day, with a maximum of 900,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. However, since, pursuant to the SEC’s rules relating to secondary offerings, we are not able to register all of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or exercise of the warrants, the number of shares is reduced to a fraction of 2,130 shares, of which the numerator is the number of shares being registered (2,250,000) and the denominator is the number of shares issuable upon conversion of all of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (3,063,063), which is 1,565 shares per day.

 

The investors have a right of first refusal on future financings.

Except as expressly provided in the notes or the warrants, no investor may convert the notes or the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock or exercise the warrants to the extent that such conversion or exercise would result in beneficial ownership by such investor and its affiliates of more than 4.9% of the then outstanding number of shares of common stock on such date. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. This provision cannot be modified.

On October 4, 2007 these notes were automatically converted into the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, see note 18 below.

10.	Income Taxes

On September 15, 2004, China Education Alliance, Inc. executed a Plan of Exchange with Zhong He Li Da Education Technology, Inc. (“ZHLD”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the PRC. ZHLD applied to qualify as a foreign invested company immediately after the merger, and a business license was approved for such qualification on April 8, 2005. According to Chinese taxation policy, there is a 100% income tax exemption or holiday for 2 years and a 50% tax exemption or holiday for 3 years applicable to a foreign invested company, advanced technology company or software development company.  Because ZHLD falls under all three categories, it enjoys this income tax exemption policy from April 8, 2005, the date it obtained approval as a "Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise." The Company received a 100% tax holiday as of December 31, 2006. Starting January 1, 2007, the Company’s tax exemption will be reduced to 50% of the prevailing 15% tax rate and will continue at this reduced rate for three years subject to changes in tax rates implemented in 2007 that go into effect commencing January 1, 2008. This January 1, 2008 change will increase the enterprise tax rate by 2% per year until it reaches an effective tax rate of 25%.

F-13

---

 

The tax holiday resulted in tax savings as follows:

		Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2007			2006
Tax savings		$	370,791		$	476,861
Benefit per share
Basic		$	0.02		$	0.02
Diluted		$	0.02		$	0.02

The Company has a U.S net operating loss carryforward of approximately $495,000 as of December 31, 2006, which will begin to expire in 2025. Certain of these loss carryforward amounts may be limited due to the more than 50% change in ownership which took place during 2005. The deferred tax asset associated with these net operating loss carryforwards was fully reserved as of September 30, 2007.

11.	Effect of Adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (Fin 48), “Accounting for Uncertainly in Income Taxes”

In 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FIN 48, which clarifies the application of SFAS 109 by defining a criterion that an individual income tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, accounting for interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. In accordance with the transition provisions, the Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007.

China Education Alliance, Inc., a North Carolina corporation, is a foreign enterprise for Chinese taxation purposes. As a Wholly Owned Foreign Subsidiary, ZHLD is entitled to a Tax Holiday. ZHLD was granted a tax exemption from the PRC on April 8, 2005 following the merger with China Education Alliance, Inc. This exemption, which covered the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, expired on December 31, 2006. However, under present law, the Chinese subsidiary will enjoy a 50% tax exemption for 2007, 2008 and 2009.

The Company recognizes that virtually all tax positions in the PRC are not free of some degree of uncertainty due to tax law and policy changes by the state. However, the Company cannot reasonably quantify political risk factors and thus must depend on guidance issued by current state officials.

Based on all known facts and circumstances and current tax law, the Company believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2007, is not material to its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company also believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2007, if recognized, would not have a material effect on its effective tax rate. The Company further believes that there are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible, based on current Chinese tax law and policy, that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next 12 months producing, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

12.	Employee Retirement Benefits and Post Retirement Benefits

According to the Heilongjiang Provincial regulations on state pension program, both employees and employers have to contribute toward pensions. The employees contribute 8% and the Company contributes 22% of the employees’ monthly base salaries. Employees in the PRC are entitled to retirement benefits calculated with reference to government mandated society’s average base salaries at the time of retirement and their length of service in accordance with a government managed benefits plan. The PRC government is responsible for paying the benefits to the retired employees.

 

13.	Amounts due from Shareholder

In December 2004, in connection with ABC Realty Merger (see Note 1), the Company’s principal shareholder and Chief Executive Officer, Xiqun Yu, loaned the Company $100,000 at an interest rate of 9% per annum. This loan was made to enable the Company to pay its expenses relating to the reverse acquisition in U.S. Dollars. At September 30, 2007, the loan had been repaid and there were outstanding advances to shareholders of $99,482 which are shown as an offset to equity on the financial statements.

14.	Earnings Per Share

SFAS 128 requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) computations. There were no dilutive options and warrants outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, dilutive shares include outstanding warrants to purchase 1,020,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 and warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.29.

The following reconciles the components of the EPS computation:

		Income  (Numerator)			Shares  (Denominator)			Per Share  Amount
For the three months ended September 30, 2007:
Net income		$	2,152,643

15.	Commitments and Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are self-insured, and they do not carry any property insurance, general liability insurance, or any other insurance that covers the risks of their business operations. As a result, any material loss or damage to its properties or other assets, or personal injuries arising from its business operations would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and operations.

16.	Common Stock

On March 7, 2007, the Company issued 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $15,900 for services.

17.	Warrants and options

As of September 30, 2007, stock options and warrants to acquire approximately 1,070,000 shares of common stock are held by non-employee consultants and remained unexercised.

 

Information related to outstanding warrants at September 30, 2007:

Exercise Price	Outstanding December 31, 2006	Granted	Expired or Exercised	Outstanding  September 30, 2007	Expiration Date
$1.50	1,020,000	-0-	-0-	1,020,000	9/29/2008
$1.29	50,000	-0-	-0-	50,000	11/22/2009

There were no options outstanding at September 30, 2007.

18.	Subsequent Events

 

Amendment to Aritcles of Incorporation; Reverse Split.

On October 4, 2007, following approval by the Company’s stockholders on September 27, 2007, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation were amended to:

 

•	Change the Company’s authorized capital stock to 170,000,000 shares, of which 20,000,000 are shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, and 150,000,000 are shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share.

 

•	Give the board of directors broad authority to create one or more series of preferred stock and to set forth the designations, rights, preferences, privileges and limitations of the holders of each such series.

 

•

Grant the board of directors the authority to grant rights, warrants and options which provide that such securities cannot be amended at all or cannot be amended without the consent of a specified percentage of stockholders or classes or groups of stockholders, and such provisions would prohibit the Company from amending the rights, warrants and options unless the requisite consents were obtained.

 

•	Effect a one-for-three reverse split of the common stock so that each three shares of common stock prior to the reverse split became one share of common stock, with the Company issuing such fractional shares as may be necessary to enable the stockholders to hold a full share.

 

Automatic Conversion of Promissory Notes

 

The board of directors created a new series of preferred stock comprised of 20,000,000 shares which were designated as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, having the rights, preferences, privileges and limitations set forth below under “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.”

 

In May 2007, the Company issued promissory notes in the principal amount of $3,400,000. See note 9. As a result of the filing of both the Articles of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the Certificate of Designation setting forth the rights, preferences, privileges and limitations for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on October 4, 2007, these notes were automatically converted into (i) 9,189,189 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) warrants to purchase a total of 735,632 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share, 2,833,333 shares of common stock at $2.07 per share, 681,034 shares of common stock at $2.40 per share and 264,367 shares of common stock at $3.00 per share. The 9,189,189 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible into 3,063,063 shares of common stock. The number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants were based on the principal amount of the notes. Pursuant to the terms of the notes, no adjustment was made with respect to the interest.

 

F-16

---

 

Series A ConvertiblePreferred Stock

 

The Certificate of Designation for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock provides that:

 

•	Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into one-third of a share of common stock, subject to adjustment.

 

•

If the Company issues common stock at a price, or options, warrants or other convertible securities with a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price (presently $1.11 per share), with certain specified exceptions, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is adjusted to reflect a conversion price equal to the lower price.

 

•	No dividends are payable with respect to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and while the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company may not pay dividends on or redeem shares of common stock.

 

•

Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to a preference of $0.37 per share before any distributions or payments may be made with respect to the common stock or any other class or series of capital stock which is junior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock upon such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

 

•

The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have no voting rights. However, so long as any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative approval of the holders of 75% of the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Certificate of Designation, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation senior to or otherwise pari passu with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or any preferred stock possessing greater voting rights or the right to convert at a more favorable price than the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (c) amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or other charter documents in breach of any of the provisions thereof, (d) increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to the foregoing.

 

The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may not convert the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the extent that such conversion would result in the holders owning more than 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. This limitation may not be amended or waived; however, such limitation does not apply with respect to a change of control. The shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are automatically converted upon a change of control, as defined in the Certificate of Designation.

 

Warrants

 

The warrants that were issued upon automatic conversion of the notes into Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have a term of five years, and expire in May 2012. The warrants provide a cashless exercise feature; however, the holders of the warrants may not make a cashless exercise during the twelve months following the date of issuance and thereafter only if the sale by the holder of the underlying shares is covered by an effective registration statement.

 

The warrants provide that the exercise price of the warrants may be reduced by up to 50% if the Company’s pre-tax income per share of common stock, on a fully-diluted basis, is less than $0.19941. Pre tax-income is defined as income before income taxes determined in accordance with GAAP plus (a) any charges relating to the transaction contemplated by the securities purchase agreement and the registration rights agreement, minus (b) the amount, if any, by which all non-recurring losses or expenses exceed all non-recurring items of income or gain. Pre-tax income shall not be adjusted if all non-recurring items of income or gain exceed all non-recurring losses or expenses. Items shall be deemed to be non-recurring only if they qualify as non-recurring pursuant to GAAP. For determining pre-tax income per share, all shares which are outstanding or which may be issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants and other convertible securities are deemed to be outstanding, regardless of whether the shares would be counted for purposes of computing diluted earnings per shares under GAAP. An adjustment in the warrant exercise price does not affect the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The following table sets forth the exercise price of the warrants if pre-tax income is 20% below the threshold (a “20% shortfall”) and 50% or more below the threshold (a “50% shortfall”):

 

		$1.50 Warrant			$2.07 Warrant						$2.40 Warrant			$3.00 Warrant
		Exercise Price			Exercise Price						Exercise Price			Exercise Price
Unadjusted		$	1.50					$	2.07		$	2.40		$	3.00
20% shortfall		$	1.20					$	1.656		$	1.92		$	2.40
50% shortfall		$	0.75					$	1.035		$	1.20		$	1.50

 

The warrants also give the Company the right to redeem the warrants for $.01 per share of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants if the trading price per share of the common stock equals or exceeds the greater of (a) $4.14 or 200% of the exercise price for the $2.07 warrants, (b) $4.14 or 276% of the exercise price for the $1.50 warrants, (c) $4.14 or 172.5% of the exercise price for the $2.40 warrants, and (d) $5.25 or 175% of the exercise price for the $1.00 warrants on each trading day in the 20 trading days ending on the date prior to the date on which the warrants are called for redemption provided that the trading volume on each day in the computation period is at least 1,000 shares.

 

In order for the Company to exercise the right of redemption, a registration statement covering the sale of the underlying shares must be current and effective. In the event that, at any time subsequent to the date on which the warrants are called for redemption, the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are not subject to a current and effective registration statement, the Company’s right to call the warrants for redemption shall terminate with respect to all warrants that have not then been exercised or converted prior to that date.

 

The securities purchase agreement, the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the warrants provide that those securities may not be exercised or converted if such conversion or exercise would result in the holder and its affiliates having beneficial ownership of more than 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder. This limitation may not be waived.

 

The securities purchase agreement also obligated the Company, within 90 days after the closing, which was August 6, 2007, to appoint such number of independent directors as would result in a majority of its directors being independent directors and to establish an audit committee composed solely of independent directors and a compensation committee comprised of a majority of independent directors. Thereafter, the Company’s failure to meet these requirements for a period of 60 days for an excused reason, as defined in the purchase agreement, or 75 days for a reason which is not an excused reason, would result in the imposition of liquidated damages which are payable in cash or additional shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The liquidated damages are computed in an amount equal to 12% per annum of the principal amount of notes outstanding, up to a maximum of $408,000, which is payable in cash or stock, at the election of the investors. The Company’s failure to comply with these requirements resulted in its payment of liquidated damages through the payment of $77,128 or the issuance of 208,456 shares of series A Convertible Preferred Stock as of October 15, 2007. The investors elected to take payment in stock, and the Company issued the shares in October 2007.

The Company and the investors entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company initially agreed to file, by July 7, 2007, a registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon conversion of notes and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and exercise of the warrants. The Company was also required to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC not later than November 5, 2007. The registration rights agreement was amended to eliminate liquidated damages for failure to file the registration statement when required and to waive any liquidated damages due as a result of the Company’s failure to have the registration statement declared effective through December 31, 2007. The registration rights agreement also provides for additional demand registration rights in the event that the investors are not able to register all of the shares in the initial registration statement. The agreement provides that the liquidated damages are a maximum of 2,130 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock per day, with a maximum of 900,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. However, since, pursuant to the SEC’s rules relating to secondary offerings, we are not able to register all of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or exercise of the warrants, the number of shares is reduced to a fraction of 2,130 shares, of which the numerator is the number of shares being registered (2,250,000) and the denominator is the number of shares issuable upon conversion of all of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (3,063,063), which is 1,565 shares per day.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of China Education Alliance, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of China Education Alliance, Inc. as of December 31, 2005, were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 28, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, 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 consolidated financial position of China Education Alliance, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

		$1.50 Warrant Exercise Price			$2.07 Warrant Exercise Price			$2.40 Warrant Exercise Price			$3.00 Warrant Exercise Price
Unadjusted		$	1.50		$	2.07		$	2.40		$	3.00
20% shortfall		$	1.20		$	1.656		$	1.92		$	2.40

In order for us to exercise the right of redemption, a registration statement covering the sale of the underlying shares must be current and effective. In the event that, at any time subsequent to the date on which the warrants are called for redemption, the shares of common stock underlying the warrants are not subject to a current and effective registration statement, our right to call the warrants for redemption shall terminate with respect to all warrants that have not then been exercised or converted prior to that date.

 

The securities purchase agreement, the certificate of designation for the series A preferred stock and the warrants provide that those securities may not be exercised or converted if such conversion or exercise would result in the holder and its affiliates having beneficial ownership of more than 4.9% of our outstanding common stock. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder. This limitation may not be waived.

 

3.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries, ZHLD, Zhonghe Education Training Center and Beijing Hua Yu Hui Zhong Technology Developments Co., Ltd. All inter-company transactions and balances were eliminated. Minority interest in the net assets and earnings or losses of BHYHZ are reflected in the caption “Minority interest” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statements of Operations. Cumulative losses applicable to minority interest that exceed the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s capital, the losses in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiaries capital are charged against the majority interest. Subsequent profits earned by a subsidiary under such circumstances that are applicable to the minority interests should be allocated to the majority interest to the extent minority losses have been previously absorbed. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company was allocated $285,626 of minority interest losses in BHYHZ.

Use of estimates – The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods.

Significant estimates included values and lives assigned to acquired intangible assets, reserves for customer returns and allowances, uncollectible accounts receivable, slow moving, obsolete and/or damaged inventory and stock warrant valuation. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity period of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is held in bank accounts in The Peoples Republic of China and is not protected by FDIC insurance or any other similar insurance.

Property and equipment – Property and equipment is stated at the historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets after taking into account a 5% residual value for both financial and income tax reporting purposes as follows:

Buildings			20 years
Communication Equipment			10 years
Motor vehicles			5 years
Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment			5 years

Expenditures for renewals and betterments were capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.

Upon sale or disposal of an asset, the historical cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of such asset were removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the Statements of Operations.

The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. Based on this assessment there was no impairment at December 31, 2006

Intangible Assets – Intangible assets consist of franchise rights acquired by the Company and are amortized over the lives of the rights agreements, which is five years. The Company evaluates the carrying value of intangible assets during the fourth quarter of each year and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the intangible asset below its carrying amount. There were no impairments recorded during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Foreign Currency – The Company’s principal country of operations is in The People’s Republic of China. The financial position and results of operations of the Company are determined using the local currency (“Renminbi” or “Yuan”) as the functional currency. The results of operations denominated in foreign currency are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the market rate of exchange ruling at that date. The registered equity capital denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution. All translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements into the reporting currency (“US Dollars”) are dealt with as a separate component within shareholders’ equity.

Income recognition – Revenue is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, which states that revenue should be recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the service has been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company believes that these criteria are satisfied upon customers download prepaid study materials.

Prepaid debit cards allow our subscribers to purchase a predetermined monetary amount of download materials posted on our website. The Company’s new system is able to track usage of the debit card once the end user uses the debit cards for its service.

Prepaid service contracts are amortized to income on a straight line basis over the length of the service contract. These service contracts allow the user to have unlimited access to study materials for a designed period of time.

At the time that the prepaid debit card is purchased, the receipt of cash is recorded as deferred revenue. Revenues are recognized in the month when services are actually rendered. Unused value relating to debit cards is recognized as revenues when the prepaid debit card has expired.

Interest income is recognized when earned, taking into account the average principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable

Prepayments Account – Pre paid expenses are primarily comprised of advance payments made for services to teachers for on-line materials and video and prepaid advertising. At December 31, 2006, prepayments to teachers to provide on-line materials totaled $872,941, prepayment of rent expense totaled $299,057, and prepaid advertising totaled $149,450.

Goodwill – In connection with the organization of BHYHZ the Company gave an unrelated governmental entity a 30% ownership in interest in the contributed capital of BHYHZ. In consolidation, this transfer of ownership is reflected as goodwill on the consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2006, goodwill incurred in connection with this transactions was $43,696.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows, approach and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair values. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The Company’s evaluation of goodwill completed during the year resulted in no impairment losses.

 

Deferred Revenue – Deferred revenue reflects the unearned portion of debit cards sold and prepaid service contracts payments received.

Advertising – The Company expensed advertising costs the first time the respective advertising took place. These costs were included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The total advertising expenses incurred for years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $468,825 and $140,445, respectively.

Taxation – Taxation on profits earned in the PRC has been calculated on the estimated assessable profits for the year at the rates of taxation prevailing in the PRC in the Company operates after taking into effect the benefits from any special tax credits or “tax holidays” allowed in the country of operations.

The Company does not accrue United States income tax on unremitted earnings from foreign operations as it is the Company’s intention to invest these earnings in the foreign operations indefinitely.

Enterprise income tax

Under the Provisional Regulations of The People’s Republic of China Concerning Income Tax on Enterprises promulgated by the State Council which came into effect on January 1, 1994, , income tax is payable by a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises at a rate of 15% of their taxable income. Preferential tax treatment may, however, be granted pursuant to any law or regulations from time to time promulgated by the State Council. ZHLD enjoyed a 100% exemption from enterprise income taxes during 2006 do it is classification as a “Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise”. This exemption will end on April 8, 2007, at which time ZHLD will qualify under the current tax structure for a 50% reductions in the statutory enterprise income tax rates for an additional three years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Value added tax

The Provisional Regulations of The People’s Republic of China Concerning Value Added Tax promulgated by the State Council came into effect on January 1, 1994. Under these regulations and the Implementing Rules of the Provisional Regulations of the PRC Concerning Value Added Tax, value added tax is imposed on goods sold in or imported into the PRC and on processing, repair and replacement services provided within the PRC.

Value added tax payable in The People’s Republic of China is charged on an aggregated basis at a rate of 13% or 17% (depending on the type of goods involved) on the full price collected for the goods sold or, in the case of taxable services provided, at a rate of 17% on the charges for the taxable services provided, but excluding, in respect of both goods and services, any amount paid in respect of value added tax included in the price or charges, and less any deductible value added tax already paid by the taxpayer on purchases of goods and services in the same financial year.

Contingent liabilities and contingent assets – A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognized because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.

A contingent liability is not recognized but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, they will then be recognized as a provision.

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain events not wholly within the control of the Company.

Contingent assets are not recognized but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When inflow is virtually certain, an asset is recognized.

Related companies – A related company is a company in which a director or an officer has beneficial interests in and in which the Company has significant influence.

Retirement benefit costs – According to The People’s Republic of China regulations on pensions, the Company contributes to a defined contribution retirement program organized by the municipal government in the province in which the Company was registered and all qualified employees are eligible to participate in the program. Contributions to the program are calculated at 23.5% of the employees’ salaries above a fixed threshold amount and the employees contribute 2% to 8% while the Company contributes the balance contribution of 21.5% to 15.5%. The Company has no other material obligation for the payment of retirement benefits beyond the annual contributions under this program.

Fair value of financial instruments – The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, commercial notes receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, commercial notes payable, accrued expenses, and other payables approximate their fair values as of December 31, 2006 because of the relatively short-term maturity of these instruments.

Part II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE IN PROSPECTUS

Item 24. Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Our Articles of Incorporation provides that we will indemnify and hold harmless our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

Section 16:21, et seq. of the North Carolina Business Corporation Act, as amended, provides for broad indemnification of directors, officers and employees subject to certain exceptions. A North Carolina corporation may indemnify an individual who is made a party to a proceeding if he conducted himself in good faith, and he reasonably believed that his conduct was in its best interests and that his conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests. However, a corporation can not indemnify in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which a director was adjudged liable to the corporation or any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to him. Section 17:12 of the Act provides for mandatory indemnification of officers to be the same extent as a director, unless on account of his activities which were, at the time taken, known or believed by him to be clearly in conflict with the best interest of the corporation.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue

Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

The estimated expenses of the registration, all of which will be paid by the Company, are as follows:

Item		Amount
SEC filing fee		$	299
Printing and filing			10,000
Legal expenses, including blue sky			45,000
Accounting expenses			5,000
Miscellaneous			4,701
Total			65,000
