CARDTREND INTERNATIONAL INC.
 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009
 (Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”))
 (Unaudited)

NOTE1
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with both accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

In the opinion of management, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 which has been derived from audited financial statements and these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to state fairly the results for the periods presented. The results for the period ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 or for any future period.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed on April 15, 2009.
 
NOTE2
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

Cardtrend International Inc. ("CDTR") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 1998 to engage in international business as Asian Alliance Ventures Inc. and subsequently changed its name to Asia Payment Systems Inc. in 2003.

 
NOTE – 3     GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the period ended March 31, 2009, the Company incurred a net loss of $593,881 and generated a negative cash flow of $95,289 from operating activities. At March 31, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,250,024 and the accumulated deficits of $24,735,322. The Company is experiencing difficulty in generating sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations and sustain its operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems. Management anticipates the Company will attain profitable status and improve its liquidity through the continued developing, marketing and selling of its products and additional equity investment in the Company. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
NOTE – 4                SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

*       Basis of presentation

These accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

*       Principles of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of CDTR and its subsidiaries.

All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

*       Use of estimates

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

*       Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.

CARDTREND INTERNATIONAL INC.
 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009
 (Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”))
 (Unaudited)

*       Account receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the allowance for doubtful accounts of trade receivables was $35,324 and $36,986, respectively.

*       Inventories

Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market value using the first-in-first-out method. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, inventories were $1,584 and $2,693, respectively.

*       Plant and equipment, net

Plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational, generally ranging from 8 to 10 years. Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. When assets have retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, plant and equipment, net, consisted of office equipment and renovation with an aggregate cost of $347,590 and $393,314, respectively. Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $43,116 and $45,541 respectively.

*       Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration payable in acquisitions of subsidiaries over the fair value of the net assets acquired at the time of acquisition. Goodwill on consolidation is stated at cost when it arises. As part of an ongoing review of the valuation of goodwill, management assesses the carrying value of the goodwill to determine if changes in facts and circumstances suggest that it may be impaired. If this review indicates that the goodwill is not recoverable, the carrying value of the goodwill would be reduced to its estimated fair market value.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company tested for impairment in accordance with the SFAS No. 142 and impairment charge was not required.

*       Intellectual property

Intellectual property represented internal developed card system software with a cost of $500,000. Amortization is calculated on the straight-line basis over the expected useful life of 5 years.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the amortization expense was $25,000 and $25,000, respectively.

*       Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of assets to estimated discounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

*       Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104Revenue Recognition in Financial Statement” (“SAB 104”). Revenue is recognized when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company further recognizes revenue from the licensing of ‘Cardtrend Systems’ software in accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2,Software Revenue Recognition”, as amended by SOP 98-9,Modification of SOP 97-2, and Software Revenue Recognition with Respect to Certain Transactions”. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue.

(a)    Processing Business

Revenue from Processing Business operations is recognized at the time services are rendered to the Company’s clients progressively and/or periodically as agreed in a service contract. Revenue for the licensing of software is recognized when the criteria in the preceding paragraph have been met and delivery has occurred. If, as is usually the case, the delivery of the software is part of an arrangement that includes the installation of the software, revenue is recognized when the installation is complete and customer acceptance has occurred. Contracts for the maintenance and support of the software are priced separately for one year period and revenue is recognized ratably over service period.

(b)    Prepaid Business

Revenue from Prepaid Business operations is recognized at the time services are rendered to its dealers for goods delivered. The Company records the goods sold as gross revenue and less discounts given to the dealers to obtain net revenue, and then less costs of goods sold (i.e. face value of the goods less discounts received from the Company’s suppliers) to arrive at the Company’s gross profits before operating expenses.

*       Income taxes

The Company accounts for income tax using SFAS No. 109Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are provided for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for the expected future tax benefits from loss carry-forwards and provisions, if any. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected in the years of recovery or reversal and the effect from a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive income in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company also adopts the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transitions. In connection with the adoption of FIN No. 48, the Company has analyzed the filing positions in all of the jurisdictions where the Company is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. There was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on the financial condition or results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

The Company conducts its major businesses in the PRC, Hong Kong and Malaysia and is subject to tax in these jurisdictions. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authority.

*       Net (loss) income per share

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic (loss) income per share is computed by dividing the net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) income per share is computed similar to basic (loss) income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

*       Comprehensive (loss) income

SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive (loss) income as defined includes all changes in equity during the period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive (loss) income consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

*       Foreign currencies translation

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“US$"). The functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries operating in Hong Kong is Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) and its financial records are maintained and its statutory financial statements are prepared in HKD. The functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries established in the PRC is the Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”) and its financial records are maintained and its financial statements are prepared in RMB. The functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries established in Singapore is the Singapore dollars (“SGD”) and its financial records are maintained and its financial statements are prepared in SGD. The functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries established in Malaysia is the Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”) and its financial records are maintained and its financial statements are prepared in MYR.

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with SFAS No 52. “Foreign Currency Translation”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company’s subsidiaries into US dollars has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective period:

 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009
 (Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”))
 (Unaudited)

*       Fair value of financial instruments

The Company values its financial instruments as required by SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, amount due from a stockholder, prepayments and deposits, other payables and accrued liabilities and income tax payable.

As of the balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented due to the short term maturities of these instruments and that the interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective period ends.

*       Stock based compensation

The Company adopts SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R") using the fair value method. Under SFAS No. 123R, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the value of the option or restricted stock and is recognized as expense, less expected forfeitures, over the requisite service period.

*       Related parties

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

*       Segment reporting

SFAS No. 131Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in the financial statements. The Company operates three reportable segments in processing business, prepaid business, and cards business, respectively.

*       Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) revises the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. Specifically, SFAS No. 141(R) will change the accounting for acquisition costs, noncontrolling interests, acquired contingent liabilities, restructuring costs associated with a combination and certain tax-related items, as well as require additional disclosures. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is required to apply SFAS No. 141(R) to any acquisitions in 2009 or thereafter.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. This statement requires the reporting of all noncontrolling interests as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, the reporting of consolidated net income (loss) as the amount attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interests and the separate disclosure of net income (loss) attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interests. In addition, this statement provides accounting and reporting guidance related to changes in noncontrolling ownership interests. Other than the reporting requirements described above which require retrospective application, the provisions of SFAS No. 160 are to be applied prospectively in the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 160, if any, on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities”. The purpose of this FSP is to promptly increase disclosures by public entities and enterprises until the pending amendments to SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, (“SFAS No. 140”) and FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, (“FIN 46(R)”) are finalized and approved by the FASB. The FSP is effective for reporting periods (interim and annual) ending after December 15, 2008. This adoption did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.

On January 12, 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-01, “Amendment to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20”. This FSP amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The FSP also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, and other related guidance. The FSP shall be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008, and shall be applied prospectively. Retrospective application to a prior interim or annual reporting period is not permitted. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

Goodwill represented the difference between the aggregate consideration paid for the acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets of Cardtrend Systems Sdn. Bhd.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the management of the Company evaluated the recoverability of the goodwill using a combination of discounted cash flow method and price-earning method to determine the fair value of Cardtrend Systems. The tests resulted that the fair value of Cardtrend Systems Sdn. Bhd. exceeds the carrying value of goodwill and therefore no impairment loss is required for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, no provision for income tax has been made as the Company did not have any assessable profits for the period.

The effective tax rate in the periods presented is the result of the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions that apply a broad range of income tax rates. The Company has subsidiaries that operate in various locations: the United States of America, Hong Kong, the PRC, Singapore, Malaysia and British Virgin Islands that are subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which they operate, as follows:

The net operating loss carry forwards begin to expire in 2019.

Hong Kong

For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Hong Kong profits tax rate was 16.5% and 17.5%, respectively.

Pursuant to the Singapore Income Tax Laws, the Corporate Income Tax is at a statutory rate of 20%. Unutilized tax losses and capital allowances may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future taxable income provided that the beneficial ownership of the company remains substantially (at least 50%) the same as at certain relevant dates. For capital allowances, there is an additional requirement that the same trade or business in respect of which these capital allowances were made continues to be carried on. Carrybacks or transfers to other companies are not permitted. No provision for Singapore Corporate Income Tax has been made as the subsidiaries operating in Singapore incurred an operating loss of $89 and $454 respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE14             CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK

The Company is exposed to the following concentrations of risk:

(a)    Major customers

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, 2 customers represented more than 10% of the Company’s revenue and accounts receivable, respectively. As of March 31, 2009, these customers account for both 78% and 9% of revenues and accounts receivable amounting to $286,610 and $25,253, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, 2 customers represented more than 10% of the Company’s revenue and accounts receivable, respectively. As of March 31, 2008, these customers account for both 70% and 84% of revenues and accounts receivable amounting to $359,439 and $329,119, respectively.

(b)    Major vendors

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, 1 vendor represented more than 10% of the Company’s purchases and accounts payable, respectively. As of March 31, 2009, this vendor accounts for 26% and 0% of purchases and accounts payable amounting to $44,384 and $0 respectively

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, 1 vendor represented more than 10% of the Company’s purchases and accounts payable, respectively. As of March 31, 2008, this vendor accounts for 45% and 60% of purchases and accounts payable amounting to $232,999 and $235,174, respectively.

(c)    Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition, but does not require collateral to support such receivables.

(d)    Interest rate risk

As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Company’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

The Company’s interest-rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest-rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest-rate risk. Company policy is to maintain approximately all of its borrowings in fixed rate instruments. As of March 31, 2009, all of borrowings were at fixed rates.

(e)    Exchange rate risk

The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in RMB and MYR and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, MYR and SGD. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$, RMB, MYR and SGD. If RMB, MYR and SGD depreciate against US$, the value of RMB, MYR and SGD revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.

Recent Financial Results

Revenue of Processing Business Unit
(i) In Other Asia Markets

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Processing Business Unit in Other Asia Markets, which currently comprises of all the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, namely Cardtrend Systems Sdn. Bhd. in Malaysia, Asia Payment Systems Pte. Ltd., in Singapore (which is still inactive as at the date of this Report), and Asia Payment Systems (Hong Kong) Ltd. in Hong Kong reported a net revenue of $147,320, as compared to $140,427 recorded for the corresponding three-month period ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of 13% . During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Processing Business Unit in Other Asia Markets recorded total cost of services of $74,664, as compared to $39,894 for the corresponding three-month period ended March 31, 2008, an increase of approximately 87 %, thereby generating a gross profit of $48,163 for this reporting period as compared to $100,533 for the corresponding period in 2008, a decrease of 52%. The gross margin for this business unit in Other Asia Markets for this reporting period was 39 % as compared to 72 % for the corresponding three-month period ended March 31, 2008. The reduction of the gross margin was due to the higher cost of service incurred by Cardtrend Systems Sdn. Bhd.

(ii) China Market

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Processing Business Unit in China Market which currently comprises only Asia Payment Systems (China) Co. Ltd., recorded a total net revenue of $218,854, as compared to $122,492 recorded for the corresponding three-month period ended March 31, 2008, an increase of 79%. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Processing Business Unit in China Market recorded total cost of services of $81,305, as compared to $52,812 for the corresponding period ended March 31, 2008, an increase of 54%. The gross margin for this business unit in China Market for this period was 63% as compared to 57% for the corresponding period ended March 31, 2008. The improvement of the gross margin was due to the lower cost of service incurred by Asia Payment Systems (China) Co. Ltd.

Revenue of Prepaid Business Unit
(i) In Other Asia Markets

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Prepaid Business Unit in Other Asia Markets, which comprises two subsidiaries of ours in Malaysia, namely, the wholly owned Payment Business Solutions Sdn. Bhd., and the 60%-owned Etop Services (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., reported a total net revenue of $17,509 as compared to $256,575 recorded for the corresponding three-month period ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of 93%. The reduction of the net revenue for this business unit for the current period was due to the management’s decision to completely stop the business of Payment Business Solutions Sdn. Bhd. in the distribution of IDD telecommunication prepaid cards because of the difficulty in obtaining higher profit margin as well as a sudden drop in the customers who consist of mainly foreign workers in Malaysia which has substantially reduced the quota for foreign workers. The total cost of the prepaid products was $17,369 for the current period as compared to $252,758 recorded for the corresponding three-month period ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of 93%. The gross margin for this business unit in Other Asia Market for the current period was approximately 1% as compared to approximately 1.5% for the corresponding three-month period ended March 31, 2008.

(ii) China Market

As at the date of this Report, the Company has not begun to conduct the Prepaid Business in China Market.

Cards Business Unit
(i) In Other Asia Markets

During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Cards Business Unit in Other Asia Markets, which comprises two associated companies in Malaysia, namely, ISynergy Sdn. Bhd., an operator of loyalty-rewards cards, and Synergy Cards Sdn. Bhd., an operator of payment cards, in both of which we have a 20% equity, continued to incur losses and did not declare any dividend. The accumulated losses of these two associated companies exceeded the balance of our investments of $1 and $105,263, respectively. Hence, this Business Unit did not report any share of losses or income for this reporting period and the corresponding period in 2008. As we have not been issued with any share of the common stock of Interpay Co. Ltd., a company incorporated in Mongolia which Asia Payment Systems (HK) Ltd., our wholly owned subsidiary in Hong Kong, is supposed to subscribe for 50% of the proposed paid up capital of $500,000, we have not recorded any share of the losses suffered by such company for this reporting period and the corresponding period ended March 31, 2008.

(ii) In China Market

As of the date of this Report, the Company has not begun to conduct Cards Business in China.

Consolidated Revenues and Operating Expenses

On a consolidated basis, the Company recorded total net revenue of $366,174 for the current three-month period as compared to $519,494 for the corresponding three-month period ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of 30%. The corresponding total costs of goods sold and services rendered for the current period was $173,338 as compared to $345,464 for the corresponding three-month period ended March 31, 2008. Hence, the total gross profits of the Company for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 was $192,836, producing a gross margin of approximately 53%, as compared to $174,030, producing a gross margin of 33 %, for the same corresponding period ended March 31, 2008 an increase of 11% and 20%, respectively. The reduction of the net revenue and the improvement of gross margin were due to the complete stoppage of Payment Business Solutions Sdn. Bhd.’s business.

The Company incurred total operating expenses of approximately $636,391 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $971,907 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, a reduction of $335,516 (or 35%). The reduction of operating expenses was primarily contributed by the reduction in the general and administrative expenses in all the subsidiaries and the Company.

Financing expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $150,326 as compared to $568,556 for the same corresponding period in 2008, a reduction of 74%. This expense incurred includes the discount of $150,174 and $560,943 on convertible on-demand loans amounting to $809,041 and $200,000 during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The convertible loan obtained during the period ended March 31, 2009 does not bear any interest whereas the convertible loans obtained during the corresponding period ended March 31, 2008 bear an interest rate of 10% per annum.

During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not issue any common stock for consulting service. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company expensed stock-based compensation from stock options granted to directors, officers and employees in the amount of $90,770 and $165,777, respectively. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company expensed stock-based compensation from stock options granted to consultants in the amount of $6,667 and $107,255, respectively.

Net loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 was $593,881, as compared to $1,366,433 for the corresponding three-month period ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $772,552 (or 57 %). This was mainly due to lower amortization of discount on convertible loans and overall decrease in selling expenses, and general and administration expenses, Company wide. The comprehensive loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 was $610,365, as compared to $1,355,071 for the corresponding three-month period ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of 55 %.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had cash of $33,178, as compared to the ending cash balance at of December 31, 2008 in the amount of $14,919, an increase of $18,259 (or 122 %).

Net cash used in operating activities was $95,289 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, compared to $327,986 for the same corresponding period in 2008, a reduction of $232,697 or 71 %. The decrease in net cash used in operations was mainly due to reduction in operating expenses.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $0 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, compared to net cash used of $13,590 for the same corresponding period in 2008.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $130,032 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, compared to $192,328 for the corresponding period in 2008. The cash for both the periods was obtained from related parties and issuance of convertible loans, which were used to fund the operating activities.

As of March 31, 2009, total current liabilities exceeded total current assets by $2,250,024 compared to $1,847,821 at December 31, 2008. Shareholders, directors and related party advances comprise $103,733 of the current liabilities at March 31, 2009, compared to $104,671 at December 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2009, the current liabilities include $100,000 owing to the Company’s former JV partner, Shandong Hengtong Chemical Industrial Company Ltd, and $4,596 owing to a Malaysian leasing company. The loan from Shandong Hengtong Chemical Industrial is non-interest bearing and no fixed term of repayment, due upon demand.

Goodwill Review Process

Goodwill represented the difference between the aggregate consideration paid for the acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible assets of Cardtrend Systems Sdn. Bhd.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, the management of the Company evaluated the recoverability of the goodwill using a combination of discounted cash flow method and price-earning method to determine the fair value of Cardtrend Systems Sdn. Bhd. The tests resulted that the fair value of Cardtrend Systems Sdn. Bhd. exceeds the carrying value of goodwill and therefore no impairment loss is required for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Financial Condition

As of March 31, 2009, the Company’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents totaled $33,178. The Company has insufficient funds to operate their existing business over the next three months. However, the Company’s goal is to achieve profitability and to generate positive cash flows from operations. The Company’s capital requirements depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the rate of increase or decrease in the Company’s existing business base, the success, timing, and amount of investment required to launch new businesses, revenue growth or decline, and potential acquisitions. Failure to generate positive cash flow from operations will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s ability to achieve the planned revenue targets and/or generate positive cash flows from operations in the future is predicated upon numerous factors with varying levels of importance as follows:


22


 
 

 


    
*     
First, the Company’s Business Units will attempt to successfully implement their business plans, manage expenditures according to their budgets, and generate positive cash flow from their operations;
 
 
*     
Second, the Company’s Business Units will attempt to each develop an effective marketing and sales strategy in order to grow the Company’s businesses and compete successfully in the Company’s markets;
 
 
*     
Third, the Company will attempt to increase positive cash flow with respect to the Company’s Processing Business undertaken by Cardtrend Systems in order to provide the Company with cash flow.

The Company has established a management plan to guide the Management in growing the Company’s net revenues and generating positive cash flows from operations during 2009. The major components of the plan are discussed on the subsection of Item 7 Part II entitled “Management Initiatives & Plans” of the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2008 on Form 10K filed on April 15, 2009. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in implementing the plan. The Company’s net revenues and cash flows from operations depend on many factors including the success of its marketing programs, the maintenance and reduction of expenses and its ability to successfully develop and implementing new businesses in all the markets.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since its inception, the Company has been engaging in organizational, pre-operating as well as acquisition and merger activities. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficit of $2,250,024 and an accumulated deficit of $24,735,322 since inception of its business. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Continuation of the Company's existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional capital and sustain profitable operations. The uncertainty related to these conditions also raises doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Although the Company has funded and will continue to fund the acquisitions and mergers by the issuance of the Company’s common stock, the Company requires additional cash to meet on-going operating expenses. To date, the Company’s primary source of funds has been equity investments and shareholders’ and directors’ advances, and this trend is expected to continue over the next quarter. The Company does not currently have any agreements with investors or the Company’s shareholders or directors for future equity investment. The Company expects to raise such additional capital through additional private financings, as well as borrowings and other resources. The Company may also raise additional funds in a public offering or from the exercise of currently outstanding options and warrants. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or equity-related securities or the exercise of currently outstanding options and warrants, the issuance of such securities could result in further dilution of the Company’s stockholders. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available when required, the Company will be required to further curtail or suspend operations or to seek funding through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require the Company to relinquish rights that the Company would not otherwise relinquish. Since much of the information contained in this report herein reflects a prospective plan of future operation, there is no assurance that the plan will be implemented as described.

The following summarizes other significant contractual obligations of the Company as of March 31, 2009, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on the Company’s liquidity and cash flows in future periods:
    
*     
The conversion of $200,000 Convertible Loan together with accrued interest of $14,194 on May 6, 2009 into 32,952,990 restricted shares of common stock of the Company, which the Company believed, would not have any impact on the Company’s liquidity and cash flow in the future periods;
 
    
*     
The redemption during 2009 of any or all other convertible loans totaling $589,041 instead of converting to shares of common stock of the Company, which the Company believed would have great impact on the Company’s liquidity and cash flow in the future periods. However, on April 6, 2009, all the said loans totaling $589,041 together with accrued interest of $32,725 have been converted to 163,622,600 restricted shares of common stock of the Company.
 
 
*
The settlement of salaries owed to employees and advances made by officers and directors, totaling $726,049 as at March 31, 2009, which the Company believed would have great impact on the Company’s liquidity and cash flow in the future periods. On April 16, 2009, all but two employees, all officers and directors, had agreed for the Company to settle the salaries and advances totaling $689,543 by the issuance of 275,817,484 shares of common stock of the Company when the authorized shares of common stock of the Company have been increased to 1,500,000,000. However, the settlement of the remaining outstanding salaries amounting to $36,506 as at March 31, 2009 with cash would still have negative impact on the Company’s liquidity and cash flow in the future periods.
 
 
*
The settlement of fees owed to our service contractors totaling $272,397 as at March 31, 2009, which the Company believed would have great impact on the Company’s liquidity and cash flow in the future periods. On April 16, 2009, one of our service contractors to whom we owed a total of $23,538 as at March 31, 2009, had agreed for the Company to settle all the outstanding fees with 78,148 free trading S8 shares and 9,337,084 restricted shares of our common stock when the authorized shares of our common stock have been increased to 1,500,000,000. However, the settlement of the remaining outstanding fees owed to the service contractors amounting to $248,859 as at March 31, 2009 with cash would still have negative impact on the Company’s liquidity and cash flows in the future periods.

23


 
 

 

The expected timing of the obligation s discussed above was estimated based on information known to the Company as at the time of filing of this report. Timing of the issuance and actual amount of shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued may be different depending on changes to be agreed-upon amount for the obligations. As at the time of this report, certain of the above contractual obligations have not been met.

Inflation

The impact of inflation on the costs of the Company, and the ability to pass on cost increases to its customers over time is dependent upon market conditions. The Company is not aware of any inflationary pressures that have had any significant impact on the Company’s operations over the past quarter, and the Company does not anticipate that inflationary factors will have a significant impact on future operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor does it participate in non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting treatment.

Trends, Risk and Uncertainties

We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors discussed in the Company’s Form 10K filed on April 15, 2009 before making an investment decision with respect to our Common Stock.

Cautionary Factor That May Affect Future Results

We have sought to identify what we believe are significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise.

 
ITEM 3.    QUANTITIVE AND QUALITIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

 
ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of our chief executive Officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or its internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Cardtrend International, Inc. can be prevented.

(b) Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). The Company’s management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria. This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.
