DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 27, 1984. Prior to May 1993, the Company was principally engaged in the business of developing, financing and producing motion pictures for distribution. From May 1993 to February 28, 2003, however, the Company had no business operations and sought other business opportunities. Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement dated as of November 1, 2002, as amended on February 21, 2003, between the Company and Martin Rifkin and William Rifkin on the one hand; and Kingston Global Co., Ltd. ("Kingston") and Sino Concept Enterprises Limited (collectively the "Sellers"); and Solar Touch Limited ("Solar Touch"), on the other hand, on February 28, 2003 (the "Closing Date"), the Company acquired (the "Acquisition") from Kingston all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Solar Touch (the "Solar Touch Shares"). As consideration for the Solar Touch Shares, the Company issued 49,567,002 shares of its Common Stock to the Sellers. In addition to the Common Stock issued to the Sellers, the Company issued 4,760,931 shares to the Sellers' financial consultants. The consideration for the Acquisition was determined through arms-length negotiations between the management of the Company and the Sellers. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company continued the operations of Solar Touch. Solar Touch was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on April 26, 1999. Solar Touch owns 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock on a fully diluted basis of Baoding Pascali Broadcasting Cable Television Integrated Information Networking Co., Ltd. (the "Joint Venture"). The Joint Venture is a Sino-foreign joint venture established in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"), between Solar Touch and Baoding Pascali Multimedia Transmission Networking Co., Ltd. ("Baoding Multimedia"), which is a subsidiary of Baoding Pascali Group Co., Ltd., a Chinese state-owned enterprise. The Joint Venture was formed on July 23, 1999, when Baoding Multimedia and Solar Touch signed a joint venture contract (the "JV Agreement") and the articles of association of the Joint Venture (the "JV Articles"). The JV Agreement and JV Articles provide that the total amount of investment of the Joint Venture was RMB122.425 million (or approximately US$14.8 million); and that the registered capital stock of the Joint Venture was RMB70 million (or approximately US$8.46 million). The JV Agreement and JV Articles also provide that Baoding Multimedia's contribution to the Joint Venture was Baoding Multimedia's network and related facilities with a value of RMB21.7 million, plus intangible assets (including licenses, business goodwill) valued at RMB14 million which was equal to 51% of the registered capital of the Joint Venture and that Solar Touch's contribution was an investment of US$4.14 million (or RMB34.3 million) in cash which was equal to 49% of the registered capital. On July 28, 1999, the Management Commission of the Baoding Hi-Tech Industrial Development Area approved the JV Agreement and JV Articles as well as the members of the board of directors of the Joint Venture. On August 5, 1999, a Certificate of Approval for Establishment of Enterprises with Foreign Investment in the PRC for the Joint Venture was issued and on August 16, 1999, the Business License for the Joint Venture was issued for the operation of the Joint Venture. On February 23, 2000, Baoding Multimedia and Solar Touch signed another agreement to increase the Joint Venture's registered capital from RMB70 million to RMB100 million, provided, however, that the parties' respective percentage of equity interests in the Joint Venture shall remain the same. On February 24, 2000, the Management Commission of the Development Area approved the increase in the Joint Venture's registered capital from RMB70 million to RMB100 million. On September 6, 2000, a revised Business License was issued to reflect the increase in the Joint Venture's registered capital. On May 6, 2003, Solar Touch transferred its 49% interest in the Joint Venture to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Broadway Offshore Limited ("Broadway Offshore"), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. On December 29, 2003, Baoding Multimedia transferred a 3% interest in the Joint Venture back to the Baoding Pascali Cable Television Network Workers Stockholding Association. On the same date, the JV Agreement and JV Articles were amended to reflect the correct shareholdings of Broadway Offshore, Baoding Multimedia and Baoding Pascali Cable Television Network Workers Stockholding Association. Also, the total number of board of directors of the Joint Venture increased to nine pursuant to the Amended Joint Venture Agreement dated December 29, 2003 (the "Amended JV Agreement"). The Joint Venture operates a cable television network in the municipality of Baoding, near Beijing in the PRC. The Joint Venture has over 200,000 subscribers in a market with a population of over 10 million. The Company believes that the Joint Venture is at present the only Sino-foreign joint venture approved by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to be licensed as a cable television network operator in the PRC. The Company believes that it is the first and only joint venture allowed to have a foreign investor invest in and to operate the cable television network in the PRC. Pursuant to the Amended JV Agreement, the board of directors of the Joint Venture was expanded to nine members, five of whom may be appointed by the Company. Pursuant to the Amended JV Agreement, Broadway Offshore has the right to appoint five of the nine members of the Board of the Joint Venture. Through those five appointed directors, the Company has obtained control of the board of directors of the Joint Venture and the Company's Board of Directors has filled key management positions at the Joint Venture, including Chief Financial Officer and General Manager, with persons affiliated with the Company. As a foreign investor, the Company, through its predecessor, has been the single largest interest holder of the Joint Venture since formation of the Joint Venture in 1999 and actively participated into the management of the Joint Venture. In view of China's accession to the World Trade Organization, it is expected that further opening of the cable television market in China will take place in the near future. Being the first foreign investor to be allowed to own 49% interest in a Chinese cable operator and with the experience gained through the years, the Company believes it is at an advantageous position to increase its investment in the Joint Venture beyond the 49% threshold should it be allowed to do so in the future. According to its business license and the current relevant rules and regulations, the Joint Venture is allowed to acquire and own networks in areas other than Baoding. Therefore, when opportunities arise, the Joint Venture may 4 try to expand its business beyond Baoding, in which case, the Company may assist the Joint Venture in raising capital for such expansion, although there cannot be any assurance of such expansion. On July 1, 2003, the Company changed its name from Nova International Film, Inc. to China Cable and Communication, Inc. Baoding Baoding is a city 137 kilometers south of Beijing and is one of the ten cities under the direct administration of Hebei Province. It covers an area of 40,000 square kilometers, with a population of 10 million. One third of its territory lies in the Taihang Mountains in the west, one third lies in the eastern plain area, and the other third lies in the hilly land between these regions. It is both a historic and cultural city of China approved by the State Council and is a city which is opening to the outside world. There are three urban districts, four county-level cities and eighteen counties under the Baoding Municipal Government. As a microcosm of China itself, Baoding blends industry and agriculture into a dynamic economy. There are over 630 industrial enterprises in Baoding mainly involved with metallurgy, machinery, chemistry and forestry. These industries produce steel, transformers, paper and world-renowned hand-sculptured carpets. Baoding agricultural products include wheat, rice, peanuts, pears and apples. Among the most famous agricultural products of Baoding are strawberries and the Manchen Snow Peach. Overview Of The Cable Television Industry In China The cable television industry in China is growing rapidly. In China, television has been traditionally viewed as a means for the government to distribute information and the Chinese government strictly controls all television content. Until recently, there were very few television choices for the Chinese viewing audience. Television was first brought to China from the former Soviet Union in the late 1950s and was used solely to disseminate propaganda. It is important to understand the traditional role of television in China as many of the present issues surrounding the cable television industry in China stem from the Chinese's established view on television. For example, the traditional perception on television has created difficulty in establishing the idea of people paying for television programming. Since the late 1970s, when China began to modernize, the television industry in China has changed significantly. With an emphasis on technological modernization, China Central Television ("CCTV") became the national television broadcasting company, broadcasting programs throughout China. As the dominant broadcaster, CCTV has eight channels available in most of the country. According to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television ("SARFT"), in 1999, China had one quarter of the world's television viewers and 44% of the Asian market. Further, according to SARFT, there were 350 million television households in 2000 and the market is forecasted to grow at more than 10% annually over the next five years. Also, according to SARFT, the number of television viewers each day oscillates between 400 and 600 million and approximately 30% of programming on the national network is foreign. 5 Set up in the 1980s to improve the quality of terrestrial video signals, the cable television sector has grown rapidly. The annual subscriber growth rate since 1990 has been over 25%. Large state-run cable networks operated by regional and municipal governments now cover most cities and extensive rural construction is proceeding. Cable television operations have been established in all of China's 31 provinces. With cable already passing 90% of the country's homes, by mid-2001 more than 94 million households in China (30% penetration) had cable television, according to SARFT. Subscriber numbers were expected to reach 150 million by the end of 2002. China has more than 200 cable television stations at central, provincial and municipal levels, and thousands of country stations. Cable operators provide up to 30 channels, typically including some CCTV channels, provincial channels, city channels and station channels. Foreign programming is restricted but exceptions include Guangdong Cable in Guangdong, which has permission to carry Hong Kong's four terrestrial channels. Hotels identified as suitable for international visitors are permitted to operate satellite dishes to receive a full range of television programs.

As of December 31 2003, the Joint Venture offers thirty-nine (39) channels within the city limits and eight (8) channels to outer areas in the Baoding metropolitan area. The Joint Venture transmits in both analog and digital over its fiber optic network and through twenty-two (22) substations IP broadband local area network ("LAN"), 1,310 analog backbone ring networks linking up the city and 5 bts (base transceiver stations). Cable subscribers are served by a system with a capacity of at least 750-MHz and capable of handling two-way 6 communications. Programming is received via optical cable and satellite hookups and then is re-transmitted to subscribers via coaxial cable. The Joint Venture's network is one of the major backbone stations of the broadcasting cable television integrated information network in the Hebei Province. Not only can both the analog and the digital platform of the network be connected to the entire province and the nation, it can also be linked to 22 provinces (cities), making broadband seamless connection possible. The Joint Venture's network is now capable of transmitting 37 analog television programs, 6 routes of digital wave signals and 1 FM broadcasting music program. The Joint Venture's principal physical assets consist of cable television operating plant and equipment, including signal receiving, encoding and decoding devices, headends and distribution systems and subscriber house drop equipment for each of its cable television systems. The signal receiving apparatus typically includes a tower, antenna, ancillary electronic equipment and earth stations for reception of satellite signals. Headends, consisting of associated electronic equipment necessary for the reception, amplification and modulation of signals, are located near the receiving devices. The Joint Venture's distribution system consists primarily of coaxial and fiber optic cables and related electronic equipment. Subscriber devices consist of decoding converters. The physical components of cable television systems require maintenance and periodic upgrading to keep pace with technological advances. The Joint Venture's cables and related equipment are generally attached to utility poles under pole rental agreements with local public utilities; although in some areas the distribution cable is buried in underground ducts or trenches. The Joint Venture also owns or leases parcels of real property for signal reception sites (antenna towers and headends), and microwave facilities. Sales of Set Top Cable Boxes and Premium Programming Services The Joint Venture also sells its proprietary set-top cable boxes to its customers at an initial set price of $70 per box. The set-top box enables customers to receive premium programming services, including broadband internet access and on-demand services, through the Joint Venture's owned cable network. Unlike set-top boxes currently available in China or other markets worldwide, our set top box is based on SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card technology, which features a pre-pay system. The subscribers need to purchase the pre-charge SIM card from sales outlets in order to enjoy the services provided by the Joint Venture. Each service selected by the subscriber will be directly deducted from the pre-charge SIM card. When the balance on the pre-charge SIM is depleted, the subscriber must pay to recharge the card. High-Speed Internet Services The Joint Venture also provides high speed Internet access to its subscribers. Cable subscribers can connect their personal computers via cable modems to access online information, including the Internet, at faster speeds than that of conventional modems. High-speed Internet access is available to subscribers for an additional monthly charge of RMB88 or approximately $11. 7 Sales And Marketing Sales efforts are primarily directed toward increasing the number of subscribers served. Services in the urban areas are sold through: o telemarketing, o direct mail advertising, o door-to-door selling, and o local media advertising. Competition - Cable Our cable systems compete with a number of different sources that provide news, information and entertainment programming to consumers, including: o interactive online computer services, including Internet distribution of movies; o newspapers, magazines and book stores; o movie theaters; o live concerts and sporting events; and o video stores and home video products. Because the Joint Venture is currently the one and only cable operator in China allowed to have foreign investment, we believe it has a competitive edge over other cable operators to raise funds from foreign investors for purpose of its business expansion. Competition - High-Speed Internet Services The Joint Venture is currently offering high-speed Internet services to subscribers. These systems compete with a number of telephone companies, many of whom have substantial resources. Growth Strategy In order to effectively grow its subscriber base, the Joint Venture plans to provide 24-hour customer services to subscribers; provide superior technical performance and increase its current product and service offering. In addition, with a higher cable television penetration than fixed-line telephony, cable is now being used to build the underlying telecommunications infrastructure in China. As such, the Joint Venture is in the process of developing a Cable Broadband System ("CBS"), which is a personalized integrated business system developed to fully utilize cable television coverage and bandwidth. The Company began offering broadband Internet access services, virtual private network and bulk data transmission services in the first quarter of 2004. CBS provides diversified and high-density visual content. CBS consists of the following: 1. Platform for program transmission, transaction and management; 8 2. Front-end platform that combines digital television, Internet access, voice over internet protocol ("VOIP") and digital broadcasting; o Analog audio-visual transmission system; o Digital audio-visual transmission system; and o Transmission of IP digital items (including visual images). 3. Terminal products that combine digital television, Internet access, VOIP and digital broadcasting. Not only does CBS combine digital television, VOIP and IP data (Internet access), a terminal product tailor-made for cable television network, it also fits the "fusion of three networks" requirement brought forward SARFT. "Three networks" refer to Internet, fixed line telephone network and cable television network, including one-way or two-way coaxial cable network or HFC networks. There are ten products under six models of the CBS system: Model I - Full-configured network computer, equipped with display terminal, built-in 3-in-1 board card, compatible with both one-way and bi-directional HFC networks. Model II - Partially-configured network computer, display terminal, built-in 3-in-1 board card, compatible with both one-way and bi-directional HFC networks but lacks the ping function of Model I. Model III - Internal model for computer and the external model for computers. When used with a computer, it can cover HFC bi-directional network area. Model IV - Internal model for computer and the external model for computer. When used with a computer, it can cover HFC one-way network area. Model V - External model for television and the internal model for television, which is available in a two-way network area. Model VI - External model for television and the internal model for television, which is available in one-way network area. Features of CBS terminal: 1. Digitalization 2. Modularization 3. Open structure 4. Terminal equipment exclusive for cable television, or CATV 5. Software upgrading 9 6. Strong operation and processing capability 7. Compatible with current analog system Services CBS can provide: 1. Digital audio-visual broadcasting. Digital television is free of sound pollution and double images but sharp in vivid colors. 2. Diversified broadcasting besides visual digitalization. 3. Interactive TV shopping, games and distance learning. 4. High-fidelity digital audio programs. 5. Video-on-Demand (VOD) - Subscribers can enjoy real-time VOD or advanced booking of their favorite AV programs such as integrated channel (news, entertainment and people), soap operas, movies and specialty programming. 6. One-way Area Internet Transmission - Subscribers of one-way CBS can also experience CBS through the Joint Venture's website. In order to eliminate the bottleneck of Internet transmission problems confronted by the subscribers, the Joint Venture has adopted local storage and high-speed broadcasting. 7. ePrograms Guide - eProgram Guide, or "EPG," helps subscribers look up their favorite programs on the television screen. The guide gives a synopsis of a movie so that the subscribers can make their decision more easily. 8. High Speed Digital Broadcasting - CBS makes the reception of vast amount of digital information possible, including real-time stock quotes, stock market watch, the weather forecast, flight schedules, eCommerce and e-maps. Subscribers can easily search information with the assistance of EPG. 9. Internet Access -High speed Internet enables access to inquiries, e-mailing and ICQ. 10. Condition Acceptance System - The 3-layer encryption and scrambling technology is used for subscriber terminal management and fee calculation. Fees are calculated based on time, frequency, columns, and channels or on a monthly basis. Services available with the technology development and terminal improvement: 1. VOIP 2. Direct video retrieval 3. Multi-page browsing 10 4. Processor of higher speed with more memory space for new games 5. Support HDTV broadcasting CBS will effectively allow the Joint Venture as a cable operator to move into the broadband Internet. With over 80% urban penetration, China's cable TV market is the largest in the world. The market for gaming, distance education, and the broadband Internet is strong and growing fast. The cable networks offer a much cheaper alternative to the current system of Internet services delivered via telephone lines. Upon completion of the development of CBS, we believe that the number of subscribers for the services of the Joint Venture will increase. In addition, because payments in excess of the standard monthly subscription fees will be charged for those value-added services newly offered by CBS, the Joint Venture's revenue base should also increase. When CBS is deployed and commercially launched, the Company believes that it will be the first foreign investor to have an investment in a cable network that will offer broadband Internet-related services in China. Expired Letter of Intent Related to Acquisition of Macau Media Holdings Ltd. On March 2, 2004, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent to acquire Macau Media Holdings Ltd. ("MMH") in a stock and cash transaction. MMH holds 2 of the 28 landing rights licenses granted in 2003 for direct satellite broadcast into Chinese hotels and Expat complexes issued by SARFT and MMH has applied to renew its licenses for 2004. MMH estimates that its network has approximately 150 million potential viewers in China. The purchase price for MMH consists of $3,000,000 in cash and 8,500,000 shares of Company common stock. The letter of intent is not binding and the transaction is currently under negotiation. Hoever, beginning on April 1, 2004, the owner of MMH has the right to negotiate with other parties for the acquisition of MMH, and there can be no assurance that this transaction will be consummated. Internet Protocol Telephony (IP Telephony) Services IP telephony or Voice over-IP, provides for the transport of telephone calls over the internet, regardless of whether traditional telephony devices, multimedia PCs or dedicated terminals take part in the calls, and regardless of whether the calls are entirely or only partially transmitted over the Internet. The greatest factor in the growth of IP telephony services worldwide is the significant cost savings in transporting phone calls over the Internet, instead of transporting the calls over the traditional telephone system infrastructure. Early in 2004, the Joint Venture entered into a joint venture agreement with a major Chinese Telecom company for the providing of IP telephony services in Baoding city. The terms of the joint venture agreement require confidentiality as to the identity of the Company's joint venture partner until June 1, 2004, at which time, it is intended that IP services will be formally marketed to customers in order to commence providing services planned for August 2004. This joint venture agreement will allow the Company to utilize the Joint Venture Partner's existing telecommunication equipment and marketing expertise to enter into the IP telephony market in China. At the present time, required 11 upgrades to the current cable network as well as upgrades to the joint venture partner's system are being undertaken, and a group of users are currently testing the Company's IP telephony services. The upgrades are scheduled for completion by the end of July 2004 in order to commence providing IP telephony services. Regulation Of The Cable Television And Internet Sectors Cable The current legal framework for governing the cable television sector is based upon four pieces of legislation. On November 12, 1999, SARFT issued the Administration Examination and Approval of the Establishment of Cable Broadcast Television Channel Procedures (the "Cable Channel Procedures"). The purpose of the Cable Channel Procedures was to implement the Strengthening the Administration of the Construction of Broadcast Television Cable Networks Opinion which was jointly promulgated by the SARFT and the Ministry of Information Industry (the "MII") on September 3, 1999. The most comprehensive rules regulating the cable television sector are the Administration Regulations of Broadcasting and Television dated August 11, 1997 issued by the State Council, the highest executive organization of China. The Broadcast and TV Regulations apply to satellite and cable stations. In addition, on February 3, 1994 the Cable Television Administration Provisions were issued by the Chinese government. These specifically deal with cable television stations. It is important to note that the ongoing regulatory framework and policy for cable television and Internet activities remains ambiguous as the relevant regulators move forward in developing policies in the face of converging technologies and general trade undertakings agreed to by the PRC government in connection with China's entrance into the World Trade Organization, or WTO. Internet The Internet industry is regulated by the MII in the same manner that the MII regulates the telecommunications industry generally. The State Council and the MII periodically promulgate regulations relating to the Internet to address public policy considerations. Internet service providers must obtain operating licenses from the MII in order to provide Internet access service. Existing regulations require all Chinese commercial Internet service providers to interconnect their computer networks with one of the five licensed commercial network service providers: China Telecom, Jitong, Unicom, Netcom or China Mobile, in order to provide Internet access. Internet service providers and Internet content providers must register their users with the MII Department of Public Security, and must block websites (including those maintained outside China) that the MII identifies as publishing information damaging to public security. Periodically, the MII has stopped the distribution over the Internet of information that it believes to be socially destabilizing, or to violate Chinese laws and regulations. In addition, the State Secrets Bureau has recently issued regulations authorizing the blocking of 12 any website it deems to be disclosing state secrets or failing to meet the relevant regulations regarding the protection of state secrets in the distribution of online information. Specifically, Internet companies in China with bulletin board systems, chat rooms or news services must apply for the approval of the State Secrets Bureau. As the implementing rules for the regulations have not been issued, details concerning how network service providers should comply with the regulations remain to be clarified. Sino-Foreign Invested Enterprise Laws Unlike most countries where the Foreign Investment Enterprises ("FIEs") are governed by the same laws as those applicable to domestic enterprises, China used to have a separate body of law that governed FIEs and that was not applicable to Chinese domestic enterprises. These laws provided a framework within which foreign investment activities could be both carried out and controlled. The company law of the PRC, however, now applies to both Chinese domestic enterprises and FIEs. There are three traditional legal forms for direct foreign investment in China: Sino foreign equity joint venture, co-operative joint venture, and wholly foreign-owned enterprise. The Joint Venture is organized under PRC law as a Sino-foreign equity joint venture enterprise, which is a distinct legal entity with limited liability. Such entities are governed by the law of the PRC on Joint Ventures Using Chinese and Foreign Investments and the implementing regulations related thereto (the "Equity Joint Venture Law"). The parties to an equity joint venture have rights in the returns of the joint venture in proportion to the joint venture interests that they hold. The operations of equity joint ventures are subject to an extensive body of law governing such matters as formation, registration, capital contribution, capital distributions, accounting, taxation, foreign exchange, labor and liquidation. Taxation Generally, a Chinese cable television business is subject to a federal and local combined income tax rate of 33% per year. However, the Joint Venture was granted a special tax benefit by the Baoding Tax Bureau (the "Bureau") pursuant to a notice from the Bureau dated October 8, 2002 which provided the Joint Venture with an exemption from federal income tax of 30% per year for two years covering the fiscal years 2002 and 2001. The Joint Venture is subject to an 18% (15% federal income tax plus 3% local income tax) income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2003 and subsequent periods on the results of its operations after adjusting for items which are non-assessble or disallowed. Governance, Operations and Dissolution Governance, operations and dissolution of a Sino-foreign equity joint venture enterprise are governed by the Equity Joint Venture Law and by the parties' joint venture contract and the joint venture's articles of association. The Board of Directors of the Joint Venture exercises authority by majority vote over major corporate decisions, including the appointment of officers, strategic planning and budgeting, employee compensation and welfare and distribution of after-tax profits. Pursuant to relevant PRC law and the Joint Venture Agreement, the following major actions of the Joint Venture require unanimous approval by all of the directors present at the meeting called to decide upon those actions: (i) amendments to its contract and articles of association; (ii) increases in, or assignments of, the registered capital of the joint venture; (iii) a merger of the joint venture with another entity; or (iv) dissolution of the enterprise. In addition, PRC government approval is necessary for increases in authorized registered capital and for certain borrowings. 13 The Joint Venture also is subject to the Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise Labor Management Regulations. In compliance with these regulations, the management of the Joint Venture may hire and discharge employees and make other determinations with respect to wages, welfare, insurance and discipline of its employees. The term of a Sino-foreign equity joint venture enterprise may be extended with the agreement of all the partners, subject to the approval of the relevant PRC governmental authorities. Pursuant to the Equity Joint Venture Law, Sino-foreign equity joint venture enterprises may be terminated prior to the expiration of their term in certain limited circumstances, such as the inability of the enterprise to conduct its business owing to a breach by one of its parties, insolvency or force majeure. Upon termination, the board of directors establishes a liquidating committee to dissolve the enterprise, which dissolution is subject to PRC government review and approval. The Chinese Legal System The practical effect of the People's Republic of China legal system on our business operations in China can be viewed from two separate but intertwined considerations. First, as a matter of substantive law, the Foreign Invested Enterprise laws provide significant protection from government interference. In addition, these laws guarantee the full enjoyment of the benefits of corporate Articles and contracts to Foreign Invested Enterprise participants. These laws, however, do impose standards concerning corporate formation and governance, which we believe are not qualitatively different from the General Corporation Laws of the several states, but without the body of case law that aids in the interpretation of those laws. Similarly, the People's Republic of China accounting laws mandate certain accounting practices, which are not consistent with US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The China accounting laws require that an annual "statutory audit" be performed in accordance with People's Republic of China accounting standards and that the books of account of Foreign Invested Enterprises are maintained in accordance with Chinese accounting laws. Article 14 of the People's Republic of China Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise Law requires a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise to submit certain periodic fiscal reports and statements to designate financial and tax authorities, at the risk of business license revocation. Second, while the procedures related to the enforcement of substantive rights may appear less clear than United States procedures, Chinese Foreign Invested Enterprises and Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprises are Chinese registered companies which enjoy the same status as other Chinese registered companies in business-to-business dispute resolution. The terms of the JV Agreement provide that all business disputes pertaining to the JV Agreement will be resolved by the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIFTAC). We believe that we will not assume a disadvantaged position with regard to the resolution by the CIFTAC of any such dispute, given our JV partner's status as subsidiary of a Chinese state-owned enterprise. Therefore, as a practical matter, although no assurances can be given, we believe that the Chinese legal infrastructure, while different in operation from its United States counterpart, is not likely to present any significant impediment to the operation of Foreign Invested Enterprises. Economic Reform Issues Although the Chinese government owns the majority of productive assets in China, in the past several years the government has implemented economic reform 14 measures that emphasize decentralization and encourage private economic activity. Because these economic reform measures may be inconsistent or ineffectual, there are no assurances that: o we will be able to capitalize on economic reforms; o the Chinese government will continue its pursuit of economic reform policies; o the economic policies, even if pursued, will be successful; o economic policies will not be significantly altered from time to time; or o business operations in China will not become subject to the risk of nationalization. Negative impact upon economic reform policies or nationalization could result in a total investment loss in our Common Stock. Since 1979, the Chinese government has reformed its economic system. Because many reforms are unprecedented or experimental, they are expected to be refined and improved over time. Other political, economic and social factors, such as political changes, changes in the rates of economic growth, unemployment or inflation, or in the disparities in per capita wealth between regions within China, could lead to further readjustment of the reform measures. This refining and readjustment process may negatively affect our operations. Over the last few years, China's economy has registered a high growth rate. Recently, there have been indications that rates of inflation have increased. In response, the Chinese government recently has taken measures to curb the expansive economy. These measures have included devaluations of the Chinese currency, the Renminbi or RMB, restrictions on the availability of domestic credit, and limited re-centralization of the approval process for purchases of some foreign products. These austerity measures alone may not succeed in slowing down the economy's excessive expansion or control inflation, and may negatively impact the Chinese economy. The Chinese government may adopt additional measures to further combat inflation, including the establishment of freezes or restraints on certain projects or markets. To date, reforms to China's economic system have not adversely impacted our operations and are not expected to adversely impact operations in the foreseeable future; however, there can be no assurance that the reforms to China's economic system will continue or that we will not be adversely affected by changes in China's political, economic, and social conditions and by changes in policies of the Chinese government, such as changes in laws and regulations, measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the rate or method of taxation, imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittance abroad, and reduction in tariff protection and other import restrictions. China's Accession into The WTO On November 11, 2001, China signed an agreement to become a member of the World Trade Organization sometimes referred to as the WTO, the international body that sets most trade rules, further integrating China into the global economy and significantly reducing the barriers to international commerce. China's membership in the WTO was effective on December 11, 2001. China has 15 agreed upon its accession to the WTO that it will reduce tariffs and non-tariff barriers, remove investment restrictions, provide trading and distribution rights for foreign firms, and open various service sectors to foreign competition. China's accession to the WTO may favorably affect our business in that reduced market barriers and a more transparent investment environment may facilitate increased investment opportunities in China, while tariff rate reductions and other enhancements may enable us to develop better investment strategies and attract investment capital. In addition, the WTO's dispute settlement mechanism provides a credible and effective tool to enforce members' commercial rights. Also, with China's entry to the WTO, it is believed that the relevant laws on foreign investment in China may be changed to follow common practices among other countries. Employees At December 31, 2003, the Company had no full-time employees. Certain of the Company's administrative work was temporarily handled at CCCL's headquarters. The Company plans to hire full-time employees when it expands its business in 2004. Consultants Because the Company currently has no full-time employees, it had engaged various outside consultants for one year term, to assist the Company in executing its growth strategy and its business plan. As the Company grows, it expects to hire full time employees for these purposes. RISK FACTORS You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment in CCCI. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing CCCI, and there may be additional risks that we do not presently know of or that we consider immaterial. All of these risks may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Risk Related To Our Business We have a limited operating history. We have a limited operating history, and we are in the emerging stages of our new business plan. There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet our objectives, or that we will operate at a profit. As a holding company, we have significant limitations on access to cash flow from our investment in Baoding. We are a holding company that has no significant business operations or assets other than our interest in our Joint Venture. Accordingly, we must rely entirely upon distributions of the Joint Venture to generate the funds necessary to meet our obligations and other cash flow needs, including funds necessary for working capital. The Joint Venture is a separate and distinct legal entity that has no contingent or other obligation to make any funds available to us, whether by dividends, loans or other payments. Any failure to receive distributions from our Joint Venture would restrict our ability to pay dividends on our Shares, prevent us from having the funds necessary to operate as a public company, and could otherwise have an adverse effect on our operations. 16 The success of our Joint Venture is dependent on our Chinese Joint Venture partner who may have interests different from our interests. Establishing and maintaining good relationships with our Chinese Joint Venture partner is critical to the ability of the Joint Venture to generate sufficient revenues to achieve commercial success, but we may have conflicts of interests with our partner. To the extent that our Joint Venture partner has objectives that are different than ours, we may have difficulty executing our business plan. For example, our Joint Venture partner may: o have economic or business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our Company; o take actions contrary to our instructions or requests, or contrary to our policies or objectives, with respect to business development or investment; o be unable or unwilling to fulfill their obligations under the JV Agreement; or o experience financial difficulties. Although, to date, we have not experienced any significant problems with our Joint Venture partner, the occurrence of such a problem could have an adverse effect on the value of your investment. New developments and acquisitions may fail to perform as we expect. On March 2, 2004, we announced a non-binding letter of intent to acquire 100% of Macau Media Holding Limited and its subsidiaries ("MMH"). In deciding to pursue this acquisition, we made assumptions regarding the expected future performance of this company. If the acquired company is not able to achieve the financial results we expect or if we are unable to successfully integrate our business into its existing operations, our financial performance may be adversely affected. Beginning on April 1, 2004, the current owner of MMH has the right to negotiate with other parties, and there is no assurance that we will acquire MMH. Our success will depend on public acceptance of cable services in China. If there is a lack of acceptance or slow growth of the cable industry in China, the number of subscribers to our services and our revenues will be adversely affected. Our future results of operations will depend substantially upon the increased acceptance for payment for television programming in China. 17 One stockholder and director has majority control over our Company's voting stock, which will allow him to influence the outcome of matters submitted to stockholders for approval. As of April 8, 2004, Kingston Global Co., Ltd. ("Kingston") owned approximately 66.48% of our Company's issued Common Stock. Kingston is a wholly owned subsidiary of China Convergent Corporation Limited ("CCCL"), which in turn is approximately 47% owned through Faithful Union Limited ("FUL"). Mr. Hong Tao Li, a Director of the Company and CCCL, owns 100% of FUL. As a result, Mr. Li can exercise substantial influence over our affairs. It may be difficult to serve us with legal process or enforce judgments against our management or us. All or a substantial portion of our assets are located in China. In addition, six out of seven of our directors and officers are non-residents of the United States, and all or substantial portions of the assets of such non-residents are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons. Moreover, there is doubt as to whether the courts of China would enforce: o judgments of United States courts against us, our directors or our officers based on the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state; or o in original actions brought in China, liabilities against non-residents or us based upon the securities laws of the United States or any state. The Chinese government could change its policies toward private enterprise or even nationalize or expropriate it, which could result in the total loss of our investment in that country. Our business is subject to significant political and economic uncertainties and may be adversely affected by political, economic and social developments in China. Over the past several years, the Chinese government has pursued economic reform policies including the encouragement of private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. The Chinese government may not continue to pursue these policies or may significantly alter them to our detriment from time to time with little, if any, prior notice. Changes in China's policies, laws and regulations or in its interpretation or its imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, restrictions or prohibitions on dividend payments to stockholders, devaluations of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse effect on our business. Nationalization or expropriation could even result in the total loss of our investment in China and in the total loss of your investment. 18 If relations between the United States and China worsen, our stock price may decrease and we may have difficulty accessing U.S. capital markets. At various times during recent years, the United States and China have had significant disagreements over political and economic issues. Controversies may arise in the future between these two countries. Any political or trade controversies between the United States and China, whether or not directly related to our business, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and our ability to access U.S. capital markets. The PRC economic, political and social conditions as well as government policies could affect our business. All of our business, assets and operations are located in China. The economy of China differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including: o government involvement; o level of development; o growth rate; o control of foreign exchange; and o allocation of resources. The economy of China has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although in recent years the PRC government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the PRC government. In addition, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over China's economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. The economy of China has experienced significant growth in the past 20 years, but growth has been uneven both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures from time to time to control the rate of economic growth. Some of these measures benefit the overall economy of China, but may have a negative effect on us. For example, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected by: o changes in the rate or method of taxation; o imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittances abroad; o reduction in tariff or quota protection and other import restrictions; and 19 o changes in the usage and costs of state-controlled telecommunications services. In addition, if the PRC government eases restrictions on the ability of foreign entities to participate in the PRC cable television business, it could materially increase the competition we face. Government control of currency conversion and future movements in exchange rates may adversely affect our operations and financial results. In the event we generate revenues, we expect to receive substantially all of our revenues in Renminbi, or RMB, the currency of the PRC. A portion of such revenues will be converted into other currencies to meet our foreign currency obligations. Foreign exchange transactions under our regulated Chinese capital account, including principal payments in respect of foreign currency-denominated obligations, continue to be subject to significant foreign exchange controls and require the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. These limitations could affect our ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, or to obtain foreign exchange for capital expenditures. Since 1994, the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the People's Bank of China, which are set daily based on the previous day's PRC interbank foreign exchange market rate and current exchange rates on the world financial markets. Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi to U.S. dollars has generally been stable, but there is no assurance that the stability will continue. Our financial condition and results of operations may also be affected by changes in the value of certain currencies other than the Renminbi in which our earnings and obligations are denominated. In particular, an appreciation of the Renminbi is likely to decrease the portion of our cash flow required to satisfy our foreign currency-denominated obligations. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect distributions from our investment in Baoding, which are denominated in Renminbi, and the value of our investment in Joint Venture in China. The PRC legal system is not fully developed and has inherent uncertainties that could limit the legal protections available to you. The PRC legal system is a system based on written statutes and their interpretation by the Supreme People's Court. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, the PRC government has been developing a comprehensive system of commercial laws, and considerable progress has been made in introducing laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade. Two examples are the promulgation of the Contract Law of the PRC to unify the various economic contract laws into a single code, which went into effect on October 1, 1999, and the Securities Law of the PRC, which went into effect on July 1, 1999. However, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published cases and their non-binding nature, interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, as the PRC legal system develops, changes in such laws and regulations, their interpretation or their enforcement may have a material adverse effect on our business operations. 20 We may experience lengthy delays in resolution of legal disputes. After the admission of China into the WTO in November 2001, China established an arbitration system to settle disputes of foreign investors in China. The arbitration system is relatively new and there is no assurance that any dispute involving our business in China can be resolved expeditiously and satisfactorily. Risk Related To An Investment In The Company There is a limited public market for shares of our Common Stock, and the market price for our Common Stock may be subject to volatility. There is a limited public market for shares of our Common Stock. We cannot guarantee that an active public market will develop or be sustained. Therefore, investors may not be able to find purchasers for their Shares. Should there develop a significant market for our Shares, the market price for those Shares may be significantly affected by such factors as our financial results and the overall investment atmosphere. Future sales and distributions by our stockholders may adversely affect our stock price, which could create obligations related to prior financings and could restrict our ability to raise funds in new stock offerings. Sales of our Common Stock in the public market could lower the market price of our Common Stock. These sales could also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that our management team deems acceptable or at all. On September 24, 2003, we issued Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"). Pursuant to the designations of the Preferred Stock, in the event that the current market price for our common stock is equal to or less than $0.70 for a period of ten consecutive trading days, we must redeem all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, upon request of the holders. The purchase price for this redemption would be $1.67 per share. Our Common Stock is a Penny Stock as defined in the Exchange Act and an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the price of the shares of the Common Stock. Our Common Stock is classified as a penny stock, which is traded on the OTCBB. As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the price of the shares of the Common Stock being registered hereby. In addition, the "penny stock" rules adopted by the Commission under the Exchange Act subject the sale of the shares of the Common Stock to certain regulations which impose sales practice requirements on broker-dealers. For example, broker-dealers selling such securities must, prior to effecting the transaction, provide their customers with a document that discloses the risks of investing in such securities. Furthermore, if the person purchasing the securities is someone other than an accredited investor or an established customer of the broker-dealer, the broker-dealer must also approve the potential customer's account by obtaining information concerning the customer's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. The broker-dealer must also make a determination whether the transaction is suitable for the customer and whether the customer has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be reasonably expected to be capable of evaluating the risk of transactions in such securities. Accordingly, the Commission's rules may result in the limitation of the number of potential purchasers of the shares of the Common Stock. 21 There may be resale restrictions with respect to the Shares. Various state securities laws impose restrictions on transferring penny stocks and, as a result, investors in the Common Stock may have their ability to sell their shares of the Common Stock impaired. For example, the Utah Securities Commission prohibits brokers from soliciting buyers for penny stocks, which makes selling them more difficult. ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY Our headquarters are located in a facility consisting of approximately 3,000 square feet located at No. 22 Bei Xin Cun Hou Street, Xiang Shan, Haidian District, Beijing, the People's Republic of China. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are not a party to any pending or, to the best of our knowledge, any threatened legal proceedings. No director, officer or affiliate of the Company, or owner of record or of more than five percent (5%) of the securities of the Company, or any associate of any such director, officer or security holder is a party adverse to the Company. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS OF A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS On October 15, 2003, Mr. Jun-Tang Zhao was removed as a director of the Company by a written consent of a shareholder, signed by a shareholder owning a majority of the Company's outstanding voting stock. On October 15, 2003, this shareholder owned 48,835,776 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 65.27% of the then-issued and outstanding voting stock of the Company. On November 21, 2003, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and mailed to stockholders of record, a Definitive Information Statement disclosing the shareholder action. ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Market For Common Equity The following table sets forth, for the respective periods indicated, the high and low bid information for our Common Stock in the over-the-counter bulletin board as reported by http://finance.yahoo.com.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS In addition to historical information, this annual report contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed in this section. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date thereof. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included as part of this annual report. Overview The Company was incorporated on November 27, 1984 in the State of Delaware. Prior to May 1993, the Company was principally engaged in the business of developing, financing and producing motion pictures for distribution. Since May 1993, however, the Company had had no current business operations until February 28, 2003, when the Company signed the Exchange Agreement to acquire (the "Acquisition") from Kingston a 100% ownership interest in Solar Touch Limited ("Solar Touch") in exchange for 49,567,002 shares of the Company's Common Stock. In addition, the Company issued 4,761,000 shares to certain financial consultants in connection with the Acquisition. Immediately after the Acquisition, all then existing officers and directors of the Company resigned, and the management of Solar Touch was elected and appointed to management positions of the Company that corresponded to their respective management positions with Solar Touch, thereby effecting a change of control. Although Solar Touch became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company following the transaction, because the transaction resulted in a change of control, the transaction was recorded as a "reverse merger" whereby Solar Touch was considered to be the accounting acquirer of the Company. In May 2003, the 25 Company determined to change its fiscal year end to December 31, which corresponds to the year end for Solar Touch. The Company's recent operations have been limited to its interest in Solar Touch. The discussion below in respect of the Company's performance as of the last fiscal year is primarily related to the Company's equity interest in Solar Touch. Results Of Operations Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared To Year Ended December 31, 2002 Results of operations Revenue The Company had no revenue for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. The Company is a holding company and its business is carried on through its subsidiary. By virtue of its contol of the subsidiary, which was obtained in late 2003, the Company plans to report the revenues of Solar Touch in 2004. Loss from operations For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the Company had a loss from operations of $5,991,968, as compared to a loss from operations of $0 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. The loss is attributable to directors' compensation of $1,209,152, professional fees of $345,581, consulting fees of $4,398,985 and other operating expenses of $38,250. Directors compensation was paid to three directors for services rendered by Messrs. Kwan, Tang and Raney in performing their duties as officers and directors. Compensation was also paid to Mr. Tang for his services in connection with the acquisition of Solar Touch. Professional fees were paid for legal and accounting services related to the Company's SEC filings, including its registration statement on Form SB-2. Consulting fees were paid for advisory services related to the Company's administrative and corporate development, for management consulting and identification of potential strategic partners for strategic planning, for identification of potential merger and acquisition activities, for financial advisory services, and for market research. Merger costs For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company incurred merger costs of $3,720,416 as a result of the Company's acquisition of Solar Touch in a reverse merger whereas there was no such expense for the year ended December 31, 2002. Equity in earnings of investment This represents the Company's 49% share of undistributed earnings of its investment in Baoding. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company's 49% share of earnings of its investment in Baoding was $632,728 which was a $31,316 or 5% increase from $601,412 for the year ended December 31, 2002. This is primarily due to the increase in net sales of Baoding by $533,496 or 13% from $4,057,979 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $4,591,475 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and accordingly, the increase in net income of Baoding by $63,910 or 5% increase from $1,227,372 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $1,291,282 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Net (Loss) Income The Company recorded a net loss of $9,074,761 for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to a net profit of $601,412 for the year ended December 31, 2002. This is primarily due to the merger costs of $3,720,416 incurred in relation to the Company's acquisition of Solar Touch in a reverse merger, consluting fees of $4,398,985 and director's compensation of $1,209,152. 26 Net (Loss) Income Aavailable For Common Stockholders The Company recorded a net loss available for common stockholders of ($13,107,789) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, compared to net income of $601,412 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. This excess of loss over "Net (Loss) Income" described above results from the Company's recording of deemed dividends of ($4,033,028) relating to its Series A Preferred Stock. The deemed dividends arise from the beneficial conversion feature embedded within the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with recent accounting pronouncements (See Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002). Specifically, the deemed dividends arise due to the allocation of proceeds raised by the detachable warrants issued to the Series A Preferred Stockholders, as well as the effective conversion price based on the proceeds allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock being below the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance. Financial condition, liquidity, capital resources For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company received $50,000 from the issuance of 4,750,000 shares of common stock due to the exercise of 4,750,000 options by the optionees on April 30, 2003 and $3,642,150, net of relevant stock issuance expenses, from the issuance of 2,758,621 shares of the Company's redeemable convertible preferred stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, to Gryphon Master Fund, L.P. for $1.45 per share. As of December 31, 2003, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of $3,324,670. Our current assets of $5,277,754 include a refundable deposit of $3,000,000, deferred consulting fees of $1,934,192 and other current assets of $18,892 whereas our current liabilities of $164,176 include accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $85,753, amount due to a shareholder of $75,923 and amount due to a director of $2,500. We had no capital expenditure commitments outstanding as of December 31, 2003. Plan of Operation With a cash and cash equivalents of $3,324,670 as of December 31, 2003, the Company has sufficient working capital to fund its future operations and finance the future growth of the Company. 27 Exchange Rate Fluctuations of currency exchange rates between Renminbi and United States dollar could adversely affect our business since our sole investment conducts its business primarily in China, and its revenue from operations is settled in Renminbi. The Chinese government controls its foreign reserves through restrictions on imports and conversion of Renminbi into foreign currency. Although the Renminbi to United States dollar exchange rate has been stable since January 1, 1994 and the Chinese government has stated its intention to maintain the stability of the value of Renminbi, there can be no assurance that exchange rates will remain stable. The Renminbi could devalue against the United States dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our revenue arising from the sales of products in China and denominated in Renminbi and our financial performance when measured in United States dollars. Recent accounting pronouncements In April 2002, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 22 and 64. Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." The Statement addresses the accounting for extinguishment of debt, sale-leaseback transactions and certain lease modifications. The Statement is effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 145 did not have material impact on the Company's financial statement presentation or disclosure. In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." The Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and supercedes Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statement presentation or disclosure. In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions. The Company does not expect this standard will have any effect on its financial statement presentation or disclosure. In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45). FIN 45 requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, a guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about the obligations associated with guarantees issued. The recognition provisions of FIN 45 are effective for any guarantees issued or 28 modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN 45 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No.148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Transition and Disclosure" SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002. The interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 148 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (an interpretation of ARB No. 51) ("FIN-46")." FIN46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of certain variable interest entities, commonly referred to as special purpose entities. The Group will be required to implement the other provisions of FIN46 in 2003. The adoption of FIN46 is not expected to have a material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements. In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." It is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designed after June 30, 2003. All provisions of SFAS No. 149 should be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 149 is not expected to have a material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". SFAS 15 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classifies a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or as an asset in some circumstances). It is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before issuance date of SFAS No. 150 and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. Restatement is permitted. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 is not expected to have a material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements. 29 ITEM 7.

CHINA CABLE AND COMMUNICATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 (UNITED STATES DOLLARS) NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BUSINESS COMBINATION China Cable and Communication, Inc., formerly Nova International Films, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on November 27, 1984 in the State of Delaware. During February 2003, the Company acquired (the "Acquisition") all of the issued and outstanding shares of Solar Touch Limited ("Solar Touch") from Kingston Global Co. Limited ("Kingston") in a reverse merger. As consideration for Solar Touch's shares, the Company issued 49,567,002 shares of its common stock to Kingston and Sino Concept Enterprises Limited (the "Seller"). In addition to the common stock issued to the Sellers, the Company also issued 4,760,931 shares to the Seller's financial consultants. Solar Touch is a British Virgin Islands corporation which, through itswholly owned subsidiary, Broadway Offshore Limited ("Broadway Offshore"), a British Virgin Islands corporation, owns a 49% equity interest in Baoding Pascali Broadcasting Cable TV Integrated Information Networking Co., Limited ("Baoding"). Baoding is a sino-foreign joint venture. Baoding Pascali Multimedia Transmission Networking Co. Limited ("Baoding Multimedia"), which is a subsidiary of Baoding Pascali Group Limited, a state-owned enterprise established in the PRC, owns the remaining 51% interest in the joint venture. Baoding, a company established in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") and located in the city of Baoding, was formed pursuant to a joint venture agreement dated July 23, 1999 and signed between Baoding Multimedia and Solar Touch (the "Joint Venture"). Baoding is to operate for a period of 20 years and is principally engaged in the construction and operation of a cable integrated TV transmission network system in the city of Baoding. On May 6, 2003, Solar Touch transferred its 49% interest in the Joint Venture to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Broadway Offshore.On December 29, 2003, Baoding Multimedia transferred a 3% interest in the Joint Venture to the Baoding Pascali Cable Television Network Workers Stockholding Association. On the same date, the Joint Venture Agreement and Joint Venture Articles (the "Amended JV Agreement") were amended to reflect the revised shareholdings of Broadway Offshore, Baoding Multimedia and Baoding Pascali Cable Television Network Workers Stockholding Association. In addition, the total number of board of directors of the Joint Venture increased to nine members. Pursuant to the Amended JV Agreement, Broadway Offshore was given the right to appoint five of the nine members of the board of directors of the Joint Venture. Through those five appointed directors, Broadway Offshore has obtained control of the board of directors of the Joint Venture and the Board of the Joint Venture has filled key management positions at the Joint Venture, including the positioin of Chief Financial Officer and General Manager, with persons affiliated with the Company. F-6 NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. At the time of the reverse merger transaction, the Company was a public shell company with no operations and nominal assets. For accounting purposes, the reverse merger transaction has been treated as a recapitalization of Solar Touch. Results of operations and equity transactions for the period prior to February 2003 represent those of Solar Touch. As the transaction is not viewed as a business combination for accounting purposes, pro forma operating results assuming the transaction occurred as of an earlier date are not presented. The December 31, 2002 financial statements have been restated for the correction of an accounting error as discussed in Note 17. NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation --------------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and Solar Touch, its subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions, including inter-company profits and unrealized profits and losses, are eliminated on consolidation. Use of Estimates ---------------- The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results. Cash and Cash Equivalents ------------------------- Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand and time deposits with banks and liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Redeemable convertible preferred stock -------------------------------------- In connection with the issuance of the redeemable convertible preferred stock, the Company recorded deemed dividends of $4,000,000 arising from the beneficial conversion feature embedded within the preferred stock in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus Nos. 98-5 "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features of Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios", and 00-27 "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments", and $33,028 of accretion. The deemed dividends arise due to the allocation of proceeds raised to the detachable warrants issued to the preferred stockholders, as well as due to the effective conversion price based on the proceeds allocated to the preferred stock being below the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of issuance. The beneficial conversion feature is limited to the total proceeds raised of $4,000,000. Income taxes ------------ The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain. No provision for deferred taxation has been made, as there are no temporary differences at the balance sheet date. F-7 Stock based compensation ------------------------ The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, which defines a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock based employee compensation and transactions in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods and services from non-employees. Stock compensation for stock granted to non-employees has been determined in accordance with SFAS No.123 and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus in Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services" ("EITF 96-18"), as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. Earning (loss) per common share ------------------------------- The Company has presented a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS computations. Basic EPS amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS assumes the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. For presentation and comparative purposes, the Company has assumed that 49,567,002 shares were outstanding during 2002 to the date of the reverse merger of the Company. Equity method of accounting --------------------------- The equity method of accounting is used to account for the Company's investments in sino-foreign joint ventures in which the other partner is effectively a state owned enterprise established in the PRC. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company's share of undistributed earnings or losses of these entities. Recent accounting pronouncements -------------------------------- In January 2003, (as revised in December 2003) The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements". Interpretation No. 46, as revised, addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, which have one or both or the following characteristics: (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated support from other parties, which is provided through other financial interests that will absorb some or all of the expected losses of the entity; (ii) the equity investors lack one or more of the following essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest: the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entities activities through voting rights or similar rights; or the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they occur, which makes it possible for the entity to finance its activities; the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur, which is the compensation for the risk of absorbing the expected losses. F-8 Interpretation No. 46, as revised, also requires expanded disclosures by the primary beneficiary (as defined) of a variable interest entity and by an enterprise that holds a significant variable interest in a variable interest entity but is not the primary beneficiary. Interpretation No. 46, as revised, applies to small business issuers no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2004. This effective date includes those entities to which Interpretation 46 has previously been applied. However, a public entity that is a small business issuer shall apply Interpretation 46, as revised, to those entities that are considered to be special-purpose entities no later that as of the end of the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2003. The implementation of the provisions of Interpretation No. 46, as revised, is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosure. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting For Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". SFAS No. 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity that, under previous pronouncements, could be accounted for as equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in the balance sheet. SFAS No. 150 affects the issuer's accounting for three types of freestanding financial instruments. One type is mandatorily redeemable shares, which the issuing company is obligated to buy back in exchange for cash or other assets. A second type includes put options and forward purchase contracts, which involves instruments that do or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets. The third type of instruments that are liabilities under SFAS No. 150 are obligations that can be settled with shares, the monetary value of which is fixed, tied solely or predominantly to a variable such as a market index, or which vary inversely with the value of the issuers' shares. SFAS No. 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 150 are consistent with the existing definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, "Elements of Financial Statements". The remaining provisions of this Statement are consistent with the FASB's proposal to revise that definition to encompass certain obligations that a reporting entity can or must settle by issuing its own shares. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of a non-public entity, as to which the effective date is for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 150. NOTE 4. CASH HELD IN TRUST ACCOUNT The cash held in trust account represents cash deposited into Company attorney's trust account to be held in trust for payment of various costs. F-9 NOTE 5. DEPOSIT In November 2003, the Company paid a $3,000,000 refundable deposit to the owner of Macau Media Holdings Limited ("Macau Media") under a letter of intent for the Company's proposed acquisition of Macau Media and its subsidiaries. The completion of the proposed acquisition is subject to due diligence and Chinese government approval for the renewal of Macau Media's satellite broadcasting licenses. The acquisition price for Macau Media was originally to consist of the $3,000,000 deposit and 8,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The letter of intent is not binding and the transaction is currently under negotiation. However, beginning on April 1, 2004, the owner of Macau Media has the right to negotiate with other parties for the acquisition of Macau Media, and there can be no assurance that this transaction will be consummated. If the proposed acquisition is not completed, the deposit will be refunded. NOTE 6. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE The Company accounts for its 49% in Baoding using equity method of accounting. Baoding maintains its books and records in Renminbi ("RMB"), the PRC's currency. Translation of amounts in United States dollars ("US$") has been made at the single rate of exchange of US$1.00:RMB8.3. No representation is made that RMB amounts have been or could be, converted into US$ at that rate. On January 1, 1994, the PRC government introduced a single rate of exchange as quoted daily by the People's Bank of China (the "Unified Exchange Rate"). This quotation of exchange rates does not imply free convertibility of RMB to other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rate quoted by the People's Bank of China.

NOTE 7. AMOUNTS DUE TO A SHAREHOLDER AND A DIRECTOR The amounts due to a shareholder and a director are unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable on demand. NOTE 8. REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK On September 24, 2003, the Company completed the sale of 2,758,621 shares of the Company's Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), to Gryphon Master Fund, L.P., a Bermuda limited partnership (the "Purchaser"), for $1.45 per share (the "Purchase Price") or an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000. The Purchase Price per share of the Preferred Stock was calculated based upon 90% of the moving average closing price of the Company's common stock for the 60 trading days immediately prior to entering into the agreement. The fair market value of the Company's common stock as of September 24, 2003 was $2.85 per share. In connection with this transaction, the Company also issued warrants to the Purchaser to purchase up to 827,586 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $2.18 per share until September 24, 2008 (the "Warrants"). The sale of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants to the Purchaser was made in a private placement transaction in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. F-11 The Preferred Stock accrues dividends at the rate of 8% of the Purchase Price per annum, payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors on September 30 and March 31 of each year commencing on March 31, 2004. The Preferred Stock is senior to the common stock with respect to the payment of dividends, redemption payments and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company. Upon liquidation, the Preferred Stock is entitled to receive a liquidation preference equal to the Purchase Price plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company may redeem the Preferred Stock at any time after September 25, 2004 at the Purchase Price accrued but unpaid dividends if the market price of the common stock for a period of any 20 out of 30 trading days equals or exceeds 200% of the conversion price then in effect. The conversion price as of December 31, 2003 was equal to the Purchase Price. The Company is required to redeem all of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock on September 24, 2008, the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Preferred Stock was issued, at a redemption price equal to the Purchase Price, plus accrued but unpaid dividends. However, if the closing price of the Company's common stock is equal to or less than $0.70 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the holders of the Preferred Stock have the right to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Preferred Stock at a redemption price, in cash, equal to $1.67 per share, plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. Until redeemed, the Preferred Stock can be converted into common stock at the option of the Purchaser, at a conversion price equal to the original Purchase Price, subject to an anti-dilution adjustment upon certain events. Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement between the Purchaser of the Preferred Stock and the Company, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to keep a registration statement effective until September 25, 2005. Further the Company will be required to pay liquidated damages of 2% of the total purchase price per month during which a registration default occurs. The fair value of the Preferred Stock was determined to be in excess of the net proceeds of $3,642,150 received by the Company from the Purchaser, and the minimum Preferred Stock redemption amount of $4,000,000. Therefore, the Preferred Stock has been recorded at the minimum redemption amount of $4,000,000, to be adjusted for in subsequent periods for accrued and unpaid dividends. The fair value of the Preferred Stock with conversion feature and the warrants, calculated based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, were determined to be in excess of the net proceeds of $3,642,150 received by the Company from the Purchaser, and the minimum Preferred Stock redemption amount of $4,000,000. Therefore, the Preferred Stock has been recorded at the minimum redemption amount of $4,000,000, less related transactions costs of $660,563 to be adjusted for in subsequent periods for accretion adjustment and accrued and unpaid dividends. On September 24, 2003, the Company issued 18,391 shares of restricted common stock to Trenchant Operating LLC, ("Trenchant") in consideration for services performed by Trenchant in finding the Purchaser. In addition, the Company issued warrants to Trenchant to purchase 91,954 shares of common stock, with an exercise price equal to $2.18 per share until September 25, 2008. The fair value of the warrants was determined to be $250,299 as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which assumed a risk free interest rate of approximately 3.07%, an expected life of 5 years, and a volatility rate of 171%. During the year ended December 31, 2003, no preferred stock was converted and no warrants were exercised. NOTE 9.

No provision for United States income taxes or tax benefits for the Company has been made. F-12 Baoding is a Sino-foreign joint venture established in the PRC.

Certain items of income and expense are recognized for tax purposes in a different accounting period from that in which they are recognized in the income statement. NOTE 10. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE Basic EPS amounts are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS assumes the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. All potentially dilutive financial instruments as of December 31, 2003 had the effect of reducing the reported net loss per share and, therefore, were excluded from the calculation. For purposes of computing EPS only, the Company has assumed that 49,567,002 common shares were outstanding of the Company and Solar Touch Limited. NOTE 11. OPTION AGREEMENT On February 28, 2003, the Company granted an option to DSS Associates, Carter Fleming International Ltd., Grand Unison Limited, and Emerging Growth Partners, Inc.
