1.

Certain principal conditions and events are prevalent which indicate that there could be substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
 
These include:
 
 
1)
Recurring operating losses
 
2)
Stockholders deficiency
 
3)
Working Capital deficiency
 
4)

5)
Adverse key financial ratios
 
The continuation of the company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional financing and ultimately attain and maintain profitable operations from commercialization of its intellectual property.. These consolidated financial statements include certain estimated adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities resulting from the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 
a) 
Use of Estimates
 
Preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes to financial statements. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results may ultimately differ from such estimates. Significant estimates include accruals, valuation allowance, fair value of stock for services and estimates for calculation for stock based compensation.

 
b) 
Basis of consolidated Financial Statements
 
The consolidated  financial statement as of December 31, 2009 includes the accounts of Aspire International, Inc. (Formerly Perfisans Holdings, Inc.) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Perfisans Networks Corporation and Mega Bond Group (Hong Kong) Limited. Perfisans Networks Corporation includes the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Perfisans Networks (Taiwan) Corporation and Aspire (Guangxi) Inc. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 
c) 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due to banks, and any other highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less. The carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.

 
d) 
Fair value of Financial Instruments
 
The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and valuation methodologies.  Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair values.  Accordingly, the estimates may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.  As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 the carrying values of financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 
e) 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue earned on a net basis in accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent" when there is no inventory or credit risk and there are no substantial risks and rewards of ownership. The Company is thus considered an agent in the transaction and, accordingly, records revenue on a net basis The Company records revenue on a gross basis when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; selling price is fixed or determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. The impact on Operating Income is the same whether the Company records revenue on a gross or net basis.
.
 
f) 
Long-term Financial Instruments
 
The fair value of each of the Company’s long-term financial assets and debt instruments is based on the amount of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using an estimate of what the Company’s current borrowing rate for similar instruments of comparable maturity would be.

 
g) 
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.  Amortization is provided using the following annual rates and methods:

 
Furniture and fixtures
20%
declining balance method
Office equipment
20%
declining balance method
Computer equipment
30%

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (cont’d)
 
 
h) 
Intellectual Property
 
Intellectual property is recorded at cost less impairment write down.  Intellectual property is not amortized as it has an indefinite life.  Impairment tests are performed at least once a year and when conditions indicating possible impairment exist.  Intellectual property is written down if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value or if significant doubt exists with respect to recoverability.

 
i) 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The Company’s subsidiaries, Perfisans Networks Corporation and Mega Bond Group (Hong Kong) Limited are foreign private companies and maintain  their books and records in Canadian and Hong Kong dollars (the functional currency).  The financial statements are converted to US dollars for consolidation purposes.  The translation method used is the current rate method which is the method  mandated by SFAS 52 where the functional currency is the foreign currency.  Under the current rate method all assets and liabilities are translated at the current rate, stockholder’s equity accounts are translated at historical rates and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year.
 
Due to the fact that items in the financial statements are being translated at different rates according to their nature, a translation adjustment is created.  This translation adjustment has been included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

 
j) 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

 
k) 
Research and Development
 
Research and development costs, other than capital expenditures but including acquired research and development costs, are charged against income in the period incurred.

 
l) 
Comprehensive Income
 
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130 Reporting Comprehensive Income.  This standard requires companies to disclose comprehensive income in their financial statements. In addition to items included in net income, comprehensive income includes items currently charged or credited directly to stockholders' equity, such as foreign currency translation adjustments.

 
m) 
Long-Lived Assets
 
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment.  If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable.  In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value.  Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of asset less cost to sell.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (cont’d)

 
n) 
Stock Based Compensation

The Company had adopted the provisions of SFAS 123 (R) on January 1, 2006. All awards granted to employees and non-employees after December 31, 2005 are valued at fair value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 (R) by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 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”.  Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by EITF No. 96-18.

 
o)
Earnings or Loss Per Share

The Company has adopted FAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”, which requires disclosure on the financial statements of “basic” and “diluted” loss per share.  Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year.  Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to stock options and warrants for each year.  There were no common equivalent shares outstanding at December 31, 2009 and 2008 that have been included in dilutive loss per share calculation as the effects would have been anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2009, there were 134,204 options and nil warrants exercisable. At December 31, 2008, there were 98,204 options and 255,333 warrants exercisable.
 
 
p)
Asset Retirement Obligation
 
The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with Financial AccountingStandards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations"(“Statement 143”), which requires that the fair value of an asset retirement obligation be recorded as   a liability in the period in which a company incurs the obligation.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (cont’d)

Recent Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations.
 
This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning May 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 141(R).

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning May 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 160.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 161.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board auditing amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Company does not expect SFAS 162 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 163 ("SFAS 163"), "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60." SFAS 163 prescribes accounting for insures of financial obligations, bringing consistency to recognizing and recording premiums and to loss recognition. SFAS 163 also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. Except for some disclosures, SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 163 will not have an impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

Recent Pronouncements

In May 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") APB 14-1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, "Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants." Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact which the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on the consolidated financial statements.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Intellectual property represents licenses to use, modify and prepare derivative works of licensors’ source material.  Licenses may be subject to annual and usage fees.  The terms of the licenses continue indefinitely unless breached by the terms of the agreements.  As at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had three licensing agreements, which it entered into between April 2002 and July 2002. These licenses are non-transferable, non-sub licensable and royalty free.  The Company must pay annual support and maintenance fees to the licensors to maintain the terms of the agreements. These licenses give the Company the right to incorporate licensor software into the Company’s internally-developed software and the products it is developing.

Annual support and maintenance fees are expensed as they become due. For 2009 and 2008, the company is in breach of payment of its annual support and maintenance fees, and in default of such fee payment, the licensors may not maintain the terms of the agreements.
